051: Puzzle
The air freezes, as if it were a solid entity.
Tina curled up on the ground like a boiled prawn.
No, to be precise, it's like a king shrimp who only struggles to straighten his waist in boiling water.
Enduring the pain coming from all sides, trying to make himself look less compromised.
But in the eyes of the mysterious girl Qianqian, it is not an admirable story worth singing and crying about.
When a pot of boiling water is poured into the ant nest, no one would rather die than give in, braving the boiling water temperature to move forward.
Creatures who are not on the same level at all cannot get the slightest sympathy and recognition.
Just ask, a tiger will consider the feelings of a rabbit?
But there are always a few rabbits in this world who are not afraid of death and dare to tease the tiger's whiskers.
Kane, that's the kind of rabbit.
"I don't care who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter what strength and background you have. Kane half-crouched, his eyes full of vigilance and stubbornness, "As long as you want to attack my brothers and sisters, then ask me first if I will agree to this fist." β
Once upon a time, Kane was a teenager who suffered a lot of hardships. Once upon a time, this young man who dared to swing his fist at the gods and demons was so distrustful of others.
And now, for the sake of a member of the canine faction who doesn't seem to be very familiar with him, he is hostile to this mysterious girl Qianqian, who is extremely terrifying in terms of origin and strength.
The girl who walked out of the ice crystal sphere is afraid that her strength is far above that huge toad.
In the world, there is a word called life and death easy, called comrades-in-arms, called robes.
Tina is his comrade-in-arms, his robe.
"And me. Aaron's eyes were full of determination, and he didn't even hesitate to stand beside Kane.
Raw, of course, is covetous. And there are always people and feelings that are worth defending with their lives.
Kane's heart warmed, and he turned his head slightly, and the corners of his eyes slipped a little moved.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Qianqian fiddled with the hem of her turquoise clothes, which was made of unknown texture, seemingly weak but as if it could protect against fire and lightning.
"Afraid, why not?" Kane chuckled, "otherwise he wouldn't have managed to escape from the giant toad." β
Giant toads?
There seemed to be something in the girl's eyes.
"I'm afraid, you're still in front of me?" Qianqian smiled slightly, her eyes full of doubts, "You should be a human race, you have a short lifespan, poor strength, and are the worst of all races, except for being able to reproduce, you are simply useless." β
"You-" Aaron's fiery temper was almost ignited again, and he was about to rush forward with his fists clenched.
"Don't be impulsive. Kane stopped the gorilla and squinted at the girl, "Give me a reason." β
Aaron was slightly stunned, and the girl named Qianqian also seemed to be a little stunned.
Reason?
Here, she is the absolute master. In her opinion, Kane and Aaron were no better than an ant.
As a result, the ant actually asked her for a reason.
"Give me a reasonable reason to hurt my companion. Kane uttered his request word for word, "Otherwise, I'd rather die with you than take you out of this hellish place." β
The gorilla was stunned, and a little anger appeared on the girl's delicate face.
"Are you threatening me? The murderous intent in Qianqian's tone almost turned into substance.
"Sort of. Kane held his head high, facing the girl's murderous gaze, without dodging or backing down, "You've got out of the mystery, I think as long as I guess the answer to the mystery, I can leave this hellish place." β
Kane calmly recounted his judgment, "And you, I'm afraid there is no way to get out of here on your own." β
Puff, puff.
There is silence all around, and everything is quiet.
The only thing that could be heard was the violently pounding hearts of Kane and Aaron, and the sound of heavy panting.
"Hmph. A trace of unwillingness slipped in Qianqian's eyes, and she stretched out her slender right arm and pointed at Tina who was lying on the ground.
Kane's eyes tightened, and his heart rose to his throat.
Could it be that this girl is angry and wants to explode and kill?
In the next second, a faint milky white light fell from mid-air, enveloping Tina.
After a few breaths, the white light dissipated, and Tina, who was covered in rags, stood up and looked around blankly.
"What's wrong?" Tina blushed faintly on her cheeks, her physique looking stronger than it used to be.
"Are you alright, Tina?" Aaron asked with concern as he ran up to Tina and didn't bother to pay more attention to Qianqian.
"It's okay, it's justβ" A hint of suspicion flashed in Tina's eyes, and she stopped talking.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Kane, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, raised his breath to his throat again.
"Nope. Tina shook her head, looked at Kane and stopped, "It seems that my strength has increased, and now I should have six or even seven layers of heavenly power." β
Kane was slightly stunned, and looked at Aaron with each other.
Could it be the effect of that milky light?
"Is this reasonable?" Qianqian's voice sounded from behind, unemotional, cold as Kane had heard before.
Kane turned his head and looked at the mysterious girl without any emotion.
How kind would she be?
I'm afraid there are other requirements.
"It seems that I am quite satisfied. The girl smiled faintly, but there was no trace of emotion and warmth in that smile, "You guessed right, I can't leave here, but the mystery is out of me, you have a week to leave here." β
The girl paused, and then her voice, which did not contain the slightest emotional fluctuation, became extremely cold.
"In a week's time, if you leave me, you won't have to keep the promises of those old men. The girl's words changed, and she seemed to be a little melancholy, "If you can't leave, then all that awaits you is dust to dust, and dust to earth." β
Dust to dust, dust to dust?
Kane's eyes widened and he looked terrifying.
In other words, death awaits him.
"By the way, by the way, I would like to remind you that the road you came on is definitely not to be taken. Before the girl turned to leave, as if she remembered something, she said indifferently, "That place is now full of corpses, and they can't get in, but if you go out, it will be worse than death." β
That kind of monster is called a corpse chrysalis?
Very vivid.
A flash of confusion flashed through Kane's mind, if he couldn't leave from there, where would he go from there?
Are there any other passages here?
Look around, the cold rocks don't carry the slightest bit of temperature.
"Remember, you only have seven days. The girl turned around, and her figure began to fade slowly, "In seven days, you will either leave, or I will harvest your lives." β
In the next moment, the girl's body became thinner and thinner, and finally turned into nothingness and disappeared into the cave.
"Yin and yang alternate, water and sky intersect, heaven and earth are upside down, the last touch of the sunset is sprinkled, or the first rays of dawn in the sky. β
It seems that this sentence is the key to leaving.
But what exactly does this mean?
A strange cave with unknown fruits growing everywhere. Not only is it sweet and delicious, but it can also increase everyone's natural power. The most important thing is that although the effect of these fruits is not as obvious as that of the Blood Holy Fruit, there is no upper limit for consumption, that is to say, as long as they can eat it, they can theoretically increase the heavenly power in the body without limit.
If there is no mutation on the Lost Island, this mysterious cave is enough for all Heavenly Path Trialists to enter the Induction Hall to complete the final trial.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Time flies, and there are still two days left before the deadline given by the mysterious girl Qianqian. But Kane and his siblings still haven't made any progress.
What exactly does that mean?
Helpless, Kane lay on the cold rocky floor, staring at the top of the cave.
Countless pieces of stone that shimmered with fluorescence emitted a starry cold light.
The roof of this shimmering cave was very strange, sometimes scattering a hot red light like daylight, and sometimes sprinkling a cold silver glow like moonlight.
It's like day and night.
Wait a minute.
Kane, who was thinking wildly, seemed to have grasped a very crucial message.
Day and night, sunset and dawn, yin and yang alternate. Could it be that the time to leave here is the time of the sun and the moon?
But the heaven and the earth are upside down, what does it mean that the water and the sky intersect?
The time is there, but where?
This huge stone cave takes more than half an hour to walk around. Is there a place where the secret of leaving is hidden?
"The Red Blood Dogtooth Brigade is all assembled. "Let's take a dead horse as a live horse doctor," Kane staggered to his feet and commanded.
In the past few days, I have been a little irritable because I am thinking about leaving. To distract from this, Kane and Aarontina and the eighteen squad leaders renamed the surviving Canine faction.
Red blood represents the former Red Rock Valley, where the dog pie was originally located. The canine tooth not only retains the traditional name of the canine pie, but also gives people an unstoppable sharpness and deadly feeling.
The Red Blood Dogtooth Brigade consists of three squadrons and eighteen squads.
Kane is the group leader, and Aarantina is the deputy group leader, each commanding a squadron and six squads.
In a desperate situation, there is no effective command without a tightly guarded militarized structure, and in the face of an unknown crisis, it is tantamount to suicide to be scattered and fight in isolation.
The former dog faction has long developed militarized literacy in countless battles, and now it is reorganized into the dog tooth brigade, which is even more prohibitive and orderly, no less than any regular army.
Even if the members of this army are only teenagers who have not yet reached the age of eighteen.
One hundred and eighty youths were divided into three rows and six columns, standing on their feet, their waists straight, like swords and halberds.
"All of them are there, and they are patrolled separately in small teams. Kane immediately gave the order, "If you find any exit that you can leave, report it immediately." β
One hundred and eighty boys and girls immediately scattered like chickens, looking for a possible exit.
Kane made it clear that if he couldn't find a way to leave after two days, and didn't want those weird corpse chrysalis to appear and move with the giant toads, the mysterious girl would have taken the lives of all of them.
Death, of course, is not afraid.
But there is no point in a worthless death.
Time passed quickly, and in a short time more than a day had passed, and the light on the roof of the cave had changed from bright to dull silver again.
"How about it, can you leave?" a familiar voice sounded.
