Chapter Ninety-Five: The Rubik's Cube

As long as this queen is alive, it is the biggest hidden danger, and they don't dare to imagine what the consequences will be if they let these butterfly-faced people and queens leave the temple, in their eyes, people are just tools and carriers needed for reproduction, and they will not have mercy and mercy.

"We've got to blow this ice chamber down, and we only have one chance, or we'll alarm these butterfly-faced people, and we won't have the ability to parry." After Gong Jue finished speaking, he pointed out several weak points in the ice room to Tian Ji.

When he came back, Tian Ji took out a few grenades and wrapped them, and said to the general: "Just in case the things in my hand beckon, seniors, you pull the explosives again, these guys are enough to drink a pot of God." ”

The general nodded and told us to retreat, Tian Ji pulled the safety and calculated the time to stand up and threw it at the queen's head, there was a piercing hiss and screams from the huge explosion, the general took advantage of the situation to pull off the explosives, we only felt that the entire ice room was shaking, and with a bang, the stone walls on all sides lost their support and collapsed.

We crawled in the passage until the concussion stopped, and then we slowly walked to the edge above the ice chamber and looked down, the ruins below were a mess, and in the stone carvings lay motionless butterfly-faced people, and the huge queen was covered with heavy broken stones and did not move.

I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when I suddenly saw the stone wall above shake, and then the huge queen under the ice room actually shook her body away from the rocks on her body, and the powerful explosives did not kill the queen, and under the protection of its hard black scale armor, it was only injured in a few places, and it was still slowly healing.

The queen used the top of her head to press the rocks on the newly hatched butterfly-faced people, it seemed that the butterfly-faced people did not have such a strong protective ability as the queen, after all, they could not withstand the power of explosives, and all the guards who guarded the queen in the ice room and those who had just hatched were all blown up.

The queen arched the corpse of the butterfly-faced man on the ground with her head, and let out a deep wail from its mouth, and then turned to our side, its huge, fat body slowly rising, its black scale armor all erect, its dark eyes full of resentful violence.

I saw the queen in its entirety, it looked like a giant caterpillar, with a hundred legs like a sucker under its body, which could easily make it crawl anywhere, and it moved very quickly and quickly, and on the queen's head were two constantly shaking tentacles, as if any slight movement of us could attract the direction of the tentacles.

The queen spotted us, its body standing upright parallel to the platform on which we were standing, and a huge and terrifying bug was so close that goosebumps came out of my body and stretched out from the two sickle-like tentacles on the queen's back.

"Run! Come on! "I pulled the others back, not at all intending to confront it, instinctively reacting, in the face of this queen, any other resistance we had except to flee for our lives was in vain.

We ran to the stone chamber in a panic, not knowing where to go, the only thought was to get as far away from the queen as possible, and behind us we heard the queen's shrill roar of anger and grief, echoing in every corner of the temple for a long time.

Every stone chamber in the temple was exactly the same, and we shuttled through it like a labyrinth, and soon found that we were lost, and the palace lord suddenly stopped behind him, listened attentively for a moment, and his face suddenly changed greatly

"And the Butterfly Man!" The palace lord said to us in horror. "The Queen's roar is supposed to be an order to the Praetorian guards roaming all corners of the temple......"

The temple has now become a hunting ground for the Butterfly-Faced Ones, and we are their prey.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for two flying butterfly-faced people to appear in front of us, I asked Ye Zhiqiu to follow the palace lord closely, if we can still find a way out of this labyrinth, the only thing we can count on is the palace lord who is proficient in the mechanism.

The general and I and Tian Ji shot at the butterfly-faced people, and the bullets could not penetrate the bronze armor on their bodies at all, even if the general who was proficient in marksmanship, he hit the butterfly-faced man in the head in a hundred steps, and saw that the butterfly-faced people who fell from mid-air would still slowly get up, and the only thing we could do was to delay them from approaching.

The palace lord anxiously tried to find the right one in the identical stone room, chasing more and more guards, and there were front and back, Tian Ji threw out a few grenades one after another before blowing up the first few of his guards.

"Save a few places that don't run out, maybe they're still useful." The general shouted at Tian Ji as he shot.

We finally retreated to a stone room without butterfly-faced people, panting and gasping, all the way to the exhaustion, but no one dared to relax in the slightest.

Yes!

Ye Zhiqiu in front slipped to the ground, and when I helped her up, I saw the bullet casings on the ground, Tian Ji took it and looked at it, and his face changed greatly: "This is the bullet casings we left behind, we have been here here, we walked back after going around, I think we have lost our way." ”

"How did you come back?" The general was stunned and looked at the bullet casings with some disbelief. "Although we ran around without a purpose, I always remember that we were always in the same direction, and we never turned back, and I believe that we are lost, but it is impossible for us to return to the place we once walked."

"We've been here before." Ye Zhiqiu picked up a head rope from the ground. "This is mine, I accidentally fell when I was dodging the Butterflyface before."

"It doesn't make sense, if we run in one direction, how can we go back to the stone chamber we passed through?" I frowned, puzzled.

Gong Jue's brow was furrowed even tighter by me, and he suddenly half-knelt on the ground, put his hands flat on the stone slab on the ground, and put his ear on the ground for a moment, and when he raised his head, Gong Jue's expression was full of shock and despair.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I know why we're back to the stone chamber we've been to." Gong Jue said weakly.

"Why?" Tian Ji asked eagerly.

"I've been hearing the constant roar in the temple, and I know it's a mechanism that's activating, but I've never figured out what it's for." The palace lord stood up from the ground and looked at us in surprise. "I know now."

"What the hell is going on?" The general stepped forward anxiously.

"These stone chambers are the same size, and we walked through them, thinking that we had been running in the same direction, but ......" Gong Jue took a deep breath and looked gloomy. But these chambers are moving! ”

……

We looked at each other for a long time and didn't react.

Rubik's Cube!

The palace lord explained to us in two words that these stone chambers inside the temple are like an ever-changing Rubik's cube, which is why these stone chambers are the same size, no matter how such a shocking temple is built, but these constantly moving stone chambers are more terrifying than the labyrinth, and we will never know where we are, let alone find a way out of here.

"That's why I hear the constant roar, from the moment we enter the temple, these traps have been triggered, and once we enter, it's impossible to get out again, either to be hunted by the Butterfly-Faced or trapped alive in the Rubik's Cube." The palace lord looked at us with certainty. "The people who designed the temple will never allow anyone to come near the core, even the Queen and the Butterfly-Faced are like us, who have been isolated from this Rubik's Cube for thousands of years."

"That'...... So what to do? I licked my dry lips. Can't you find your way out? ”

"It stands to reason that there should be a way out." The palace lord draws a square on the ground and then draws a passage on each side. "One is to enter, the other is to go out, and the passage to enter is in the middle of the sacrificial room, which is the way we came in before, but the way out is not so simple, even the person who designed the temple may not know it."

"The people who designed this place don't know, so wouldn't they be trapped in this too?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"Of course not, it is impossible to find a way out of the constantly moving stone chambers, we may not be able to encounter them even if we spend our entire lives, even if we are lucky enough to run into them, the stone chambers are constantly changing, and the time to connect with the exit is fleeting, and it is impossible to leave the exit in a very short time, unless we stop all these stone chambers." The palace lord shook his head and continued. "The mechanism that controls these stone chambers is in one of the stone chambers, and the people who built and designed this place certainly know how to find this place, and they can find the way out by closing the mechanism, but the chances of finding this stone chamber are almost zero if we run around in stone chambers of the same size without a clue, and only if we haven't been hunted down by the Butterflyfaces or starved to death before we find them......"

I finally understood the despair on the face of the palace lord, that fear was not because of life and death, but because there was no hope, there was nothing, the general suddenly shouted, and another butterfly-faced man appeared, Tian Ji suddenly had some plans to run away again, I understood his feelings, such an escape must be meaningless, and the result can be predicted, and when we run out of ammunition, we will understand that everything we have done is in vain.

"Fart big baby, why can't you think about it, there is hope for people to live, until the last moment, Lao Tzu hasn't given up, what are you giving up." The general raised his hand and knocked down one of the butterfly-faced people with a shot, and turned around and scolded Tian Ji. "Hurry up, how long can it be delayed, even if we die, we have to die without regrets, don't regret when you get down there, you don't regret not taking a few more steps."

Tian Ji gritted his teeth and hit a shuttle in advance, nodded resolutely and retreated with us to the other stone rooms, just walked to the door and was blocked by three butterfly-faced people, we are now attacked on three sides, and quickly ran to the only place next to us where there were no pursuers.

We don't know where we are all the way, the palace lord is our only hope, but now he brings us only despair, I believe that no one can find a way out of the constantly rotating Rubik's Cube, so our end seems to be doomed from the beginning of entering here.
