The fifth floor of the tower is a vast space.

To Xiuy's surprise, there were twelve statues standing in this space. The twelve statues have different faces, humanoid warriors, and various strange magical beasts, and they are located in this hall, although they are dead creatures, but they are majestic.

What alarmed Xiu Yi was that almost every one of the twelve statues had the alchemist's corpse displayed at his feet.

"These statues are quirky. Xiui said to Asahi. The hub outside the castle is obviously to control all kinds of traps, but it is impossible to close the protection of some non-traps.

If these statues were mechanisms, they would have been closed, but if they weren't......

I don't know why, the moment he walked into the hall, Xiu Yi suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart.

"Be careful!" he snapped out.

A statue of a samurai holding a great sword suddenly slashed at Asahi.

This sword is extremely powerful, with a lot of momentum. Xiu Yi picked up Xu and rolled forward, and the big sword brushed Xiu Yi's scalp and cut off a few strands.

The sword that was about to follow Xiu Yi to pursue the black samurai was already unsheathed.

A series of brilliant sparks flew around, and the stone sword of the statue warrior was not destroyed.

As Xiu Yi rolled over, the eleven statues next to him also moved.

These statues are varied, and even the attack methods are varied, and some of the monster statues can even use magic movements, but they are agile and flexible, and there is no sense of heaviness at all.

"It's not a statue, it's a puppet! it's a war puppet!" shouted Huey.

There are countless Minns of Electra, and Ivanwan never expected that there would be another kind of puppet of Electra Minn in this castle. This puppet is significantly different from the Vajra golem that can change its form, as it does not have the ability to shapeshift, but it does have the ability to disguise.

Hell, Electra, he actually made the puppet into a stone carving, forming a great deception** appearance, no wonder those alchemists will die here, but when they die, they don't know that these twelve statues are actually powerful puppets.

A flash of black light streaked through the air, and the undead rat used its high mobility to dodge a puppet's attack, and then the long chain tail drew a ripple of air in the air, stabbing the puppet's arm fiercely.

Two blazing birds spewed flames at the same time, turning the entire space into a sea of fire.

"Red and green, don't make a move, I'm not here yet, let the Black Knight and the Demon Rat deal with them, just let my work and Electra's work collide head-on and see which one is stronger!" shouted Huey.

He carried Asahi out of the battle space, and the black warrior and the demon rat in the hall fought fiercely against the twelve demon puppets.

Despite the worship of Electra from the heart, the young heart **also has a strong competitiveness**.

The Black Warrior and the Demon Rat are Xiuyi's own alchemy works, although there is no lack of Electra's skills, but after all, Xiuyi made them himself, and they are also his two strongest works. Even if you are here to visit your predecessors, you should take out your own works and take a look at them, even if they are no longer here.

The battle in front of him was fierce, but Xiuyi's eyes flashed with obsession. These puppets lack their versatility compared to the Vajra Golems**, but they have more powerful defenses. They are obviously also made of special materials, with extremely high strength, and are almost not afraid of slashing and axes, if it weren't for the undead demon rats being enchanted, the sharp magic circle, the black warriors themselves have a fighting spirit, and the general damage of attacks will hardly work on them.

Electra's extraordinary intelligence and every thing she created was enough to make a sensation in the world.

Xiu Yi shouted, "The ** attacking them is the main hub. I want the whole puppet not to destroy the whole. ”

True to being a student of Electra, he quickly discovered the weak points of these puppets.

"Yes!" replied the Black Samurai coldly.

The long sword containing the Dou Qi energy swallowed out a flash of lightning, and the Dou Qi struck those stone statues, and the huge impact of the energy directly penetrated the inside through the tough outer shell.

The destruction of the puppet's hub is like a human heart being shattered, and all movement stops at once. In the blink of an eye, the twelve puppets ceased to function and returned to a stone state.

They won't come back to life this time.

Xiui stepped forward and carefully stroked the puppets and muttered, "It's made of marble mixed with some other special metals. It's interesting, it seems that Electra has figured out a recipe that can make ordinary marble a hundred times harder. It's great, it's more valuable than a Vajra puppet. Even in Electra's time, resource needs were a top priority, and I guess he wanted to make puppets that could be disguised at first, but puppets made of ordinary stone. But he inadvertently used this stone to make a puppet that could be turned into a statue, with greater secrecy ** and sudden**. Do you know what that means? Vajra golems are puppets made of high-grade materials, and they are destined to be affected by a limited number of materials. But this puppet is different, they can be mass-produced...... It's a pity that it can't be put in the space ring. ”

Xiu Yi opened the ** cavity of one of the sword-wielding warriors and took out a soul orb from it. This soul orb had been shattered by the black warrior's fighting spirit.

Still using the soul bead as the main drive means that he can't put it into the space ring, and Xiu Yi regrets it greatly. However, even so, Xiu Yi also knew that if he wanted to create a puppet army in the future, then this kind of puppet was obviously more suitable than the King Kong puppet as the main combat class.

The most remarkable thing for Huey is that they seem to be much cheaper to make.

"Maybe we can find out on the top floor about making their notebooks. Huey said.

With his men, after collecting the relics of the dead alchemist, they continued to explore the upper floor.

The staircase gets longer and longer, as if there is no end to it.

What appeared before Xiuyi's eyes was always a tall staircase made of silicon crystals, spiraling up in circles and circles.

"Father seems to be a little wrong, isn't this staircase too long?"

"It seems that this is the third difficulty left by Electra: a labyrinth. Huey replied calmly.

Before entering the tower, he had already guessed that there must be a labyrinth in the tower.

The little guy Xu was a little puzzled: "Didn't we already turn off all the mechanisms?"

"Most of the closures were vicious and vicious institutions, but Electra still left some trials that we could not avoid. This labyrinth is obviously also a test, but it is no longer a test of our strength, but a test of intelligence, like the circle on the gate of the valley laboratory. Huey's tone was low: "Obviously, this is the most important test of Electra, whether it is the four-winged Tyrant Beast or the twelve puppet statues, these difficulties are nothing for a truly powerful powerhouse. The problem is that Electra doesn't want to leave his inheritance to a layman who doesn't know alchemy, so he needs a way to prove it. This level is the way to prove, and those who enter must rely on their own understanding of alchemy to get out of this labyrinth and prove that they are an excellent alchemist. Otherwise, we will never reach the top of the tower. ”

"So what do we do?"

"Electra is an alchemist, so the problems he left behind can only be solved by alchemic techniques. Xiu Yi said and took out the Shadow Mist: "Let's try it with this thing first, it can reveal all hidden existences, and to be honest, I don't think this maze will be so simple." Remember when a madman came out of here?"

A handful of developing sand mist sprinkled through the air, filled with countless small glittering dots.

In the light of these small dots of light, the pitch-black staircase revolving showed some light.

At the end of the stairs, in the darkness, a wraith suddenly appeared, baring its sharp fangs and sticking out its sharp claws to float towards Xiui.

"Beware of an illusion attack!" shouted Huey.

Xiu Yi never believed that there really would be resentful spirits here, and since it was a labyrinth, there must be a deceptive existence.

However, when the wraith flew to Xiuyi's side, the cold and dead air it brought was so real.

It roared and slammed into Xiui's sword, stabbing at it as if it had struck a field of air, the ethereal body of the wraith ignoring the sword spur passing through Xiui's arm before vanishing.

Xiu Yi only felt a cold chill in his heart, and then looked at his arm, which was already dark and green.

It made him gasp, so much so that he could barely confirm if it was an illusion or not.

More resentful spirits appeared in front of them, dancing densely in the air, turning the entire stairway into a space of undead.

Asahi shouted, "Dad, I can't transform anymore!"

"I can't use magic and vindictiveness anymore. Xiui replied bitterly: "This labyrinth is much more powerful than we imagined, and it is able to seal the power. ”

Xiu Yi casually took out a drop of sacrificial oil from his body and threw it at the group of resentful spirits in front of him.

"Boom!" a large flame erupted on the ground, causing the wraiths to howl and wail.

"Only alchemy is allowed. Xiu Yi added coldly.

The blazing bird behind him also couldn't spit out any flames.

As he said earlier, what Electra had to test in this level was the alchemy ability of the comers, and he didn't need the intruders to be powerful, but only that they had excellent alchemy talents.

So this labyrinth does not allow anyone to use force to break into.

The wraiths blocked the entrance to the passage but did not attack. It seems that their mission is to guard. The spirits that attacked earlier should be a warning to those who come that these spirits have the ability to attack, and if they break through, they will face death.

Three drops of sacrificial oil were thrown in a row, burning large swaths of the wraith. However, the wraiths seem to be living and living, and every time one dies, another is reborn in the void.

They flew over the dark corridors and let out loud screams, turning the whole scene into a poignant and gloomy scene, as if one step would lead to the world of the undead. The scene was eerie and almost suffocating.

"Daddy, what are we going to do?" the little guy panicked. Unable to transform, there is a powerful power, but it can't be used, and Asahi looked at the resentful spirits in the sky and was a little scared. After all, it's too young to ignore everything in front of it.

"Don't be afraid, the more you fear, the more wraiths will be. It comes from the generation of negative emotions within you. Xiu Yi said the word fear, and there seemed to be a few more resentful spirits flying in time and space.

The endless labyrinth is flying all over the sky, the magic and fighting spirit that the inexhaustible evil spirits cannot wield, and it seems that Electrab has laid down a mortal death.

"No, no. Xiu Yi shook his head: "It's impossible for Electra to set up a deadly killing game. These spirits are supposed to be illusions, so they can't be killed, but how did Electra manage to make illusions attack, too?" said to herself, looking down.

He looked at his arm, which still had a chill. If he was haunted by a large group of resentful spirits, Xiu Yi wondered if he would freeze to death immediately.

He quickly took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it, but the dark blue on his arm did not diminish in the slightest.

"The healing potion is ineffective...... Xiu Yi squinted at the scar on his arm, seeing that the healing potion was ineffective, Xiu Yi did not have the slightest sense of depression, but showed a slight smile on his face: "That's right." What Electra wants to test is this, and this is it. ”

He suddenly looked back at Asahi and said, "Asahi do you know what is the most important thing to become an excellent alchemist?"

The little guy shook his head blankly.

Xiu Yi smiled: "It is the ability to have the law of the operation of things." Only by mastering the laws of how things work can we create all kinds of great alchemy. The test of Electra is not the level of alchemy, but whether we have the potential and talent to become excellent alchemists, including calmness, wisdom, observation and carefulness. ”

"Does this have anything to do with our current predicament?

"Of course, there are no such things as ghosts. It's a labyrinth, a labyrinth of the mind, it's not a physical thing, it's only created in people's minds. This is why healing potions do not heal injuries, because ...... I wasn't hurt at all. Xiui said as he slowly raised his right hand. The bruises on the arm were still Xiu Yi, but he said slowly: "Since it is a labyrinth of the mind, then it should be a labyrinth that belongs only to me." Everything is false in this labyrinth, including these spirits, including my wounds, including these endless staircases, and ...... Your existence. ”

He looked back at Xiang Xu and the Blazing Bird, raised the long sword in his hand, and his face was full of hideousness.

The little guy Xu showed great horror: "No, Dad, I'm your child, you can't kill me!"

"If you really were Asahi, you would never say that to me. Demon dragons are proud, and their pride makes them never bow their heads in any fear, even newborn dragons have the courage to challenge anything. Your understanding of Asahi comes from my heart, and when I was dating Asahi, I took care of it, and you rigidly copied my memory of it, but ignored its dependence on me, and it came from the deep affection between me. But when faced with danger, Asahi is an impulsive and angry child, and by no means a child who is still coquettish and begging for mercy like he is now. ”

"Shhhh At the same time, the black warriors, blazing birds, and undead demon rats that had been silent disappeared at the same time, and he was the only one by Xiuyi's side.

Looking up at the great resentful spirit, he muttered, "Is this the hatred in my heart? It seems that what the master is good at, you are also good at it, excellent camouflage ability, but you can't hurt me. ”

"Shhh

Xiu Yi looked at the resentful spirit, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes: "I have walked through the labyrinth of the soul once. I know there's more to my heart than just hatred......"

The long sword suddenly emitted a fighting light, and it was full of brilliance.

The huge wraith screamed in terror, and a sword with majestic power had already slashed towards the wraith.

The sword broke through all obstacles, and with a single sword, it cleaved the wraiths to pieces.

As if the wind was blowing away, the fog had cleared, and in front of Xiuy's eyes was a clean, empty room.

Not far away, the little guy Xu was lying on the ground, sleeping beautifully, and the blazing bird was still resting on it. goblin

The Rat and the Black Knight remained silently watching their master.

Everything that had just been born only existed in Huey's mind, and to them it was as if Huey was standing there alone for a moment.

"Is this the sixth floor of the Tower?" Huey looked around.

He looked at his arm intact.

Huey smiled: "Electra has love even though I have hatred in my heart. I've never been so awake to know what I want, what to do. Your psychic labyrinth is useless to me. ”

Picking up the sleeping Asahi and walking towards the top of the tower.
