Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 802: Becoming More Important and Considered Serious
Back when her direct superior put Tang Xiu into the team, Zhu Long thought it was a silly move because a weak chicken would only affect the strength of his team as a whole and that the man would not play any role. But the two previously absurd ideas not only saved them from a lot of trouble, but also made them realize that they had gotten a harvest of those ideas.
However, she was afraid that Tang Xiu would be full of himself, so she simply stuffed the robot parts into the military bag and said flat approval without becoming salty. Due to a severe problem, he discussed it with Firedevil for a while and then decided to hide the military bag containing the robot parts in a corner veiled in the corridor and then bring it when back.
"Keep in . "
Zhu Long took a deep breath and led towards the interior. At this moment, he quietly took out a mini gun and his cold eyes scanned the surroundings. Even the slightest sound could make him wary.
A large number of steel sculptures could be seen in the spacious hall in front. The moment Tang Xiu's vision landed on the statues, his expression immediately turned into a strange expression. These statues seemed to be placed randomly but those who were fluent in array formations could easily see that they were placed in some particular elegant position, even forming a simple array.
It's some kind of labyrinth!
The moment one entered the space between these statues, he would get lost within the formation and they would never get out unless they were lucky to find the correct route. Of course, such an opportunity is even less than the probability of winning the lottery.
"Technology and with array involved?"
'The combination of these two products of civilization shows that this race that left behind the rest of the three stars had a very advanced civilization. Although this one is far from being a much higher civilization, there are still some folds that are more sophisticated than the current civilization on Earth. "
Tang Xiu took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Long who was about to enter the labyrinth. He quickly reached out to grab his arm and said in a deep voice, "These remains are jammed with danger and danger, so let me lead the way ahead. A strong perception can sometimes detect previous hazards and be a little useful."
By the time Tang Xiu grabbed his arm, Zhu Long struggled to shake off his arm, but very surprisingly, Tang Xiu's grip was like a steel brace and he felt pain from his struggle. If it were an ordinary person, he could easily break free.
"He's quite strong," Zhu Long sighed inwardly. He nodded wordlessly and let Tang Xiu lead.
Firedevil came to his side and looked at Tang Xiu's back as he lowered his voice and asked, "Zhu Long Capt., Is this brat okay? We don't need cannon fodder here."
"He's kind. Let's go, we'll know later" Zhu Long replied. "Don't get too far from him. We can take immediate action to save him if there's any danger ahead."
In front, Tang Xiu's footsteps suddenly came to a halt as he looked at the four people following behind him and said in a heavy voice, "I sense some danger here and we seem to find something scary. Follow right behind me, look where I'm stepping and don't fall. It's best to follow my footprints here. "
Zhu Long was a cautious person, so she was very focused on the warning after Tang Xiu finished speaking. Electrolady and Aquababe were also people who never jokingly faced danger and nodded, indicating that they would not act recklessly. It was precisely Firedevil who was still carrying a military backpack and carrying a birdcage that held contempt in his eyes.
The statues occupy a large space the size of an ordinary football field. These statues are rarely in human form, but mostly in the form of various animals such as wolves, tigers, leopards, pigeons, sparrows, and many other animals that no one has ever seen.
"Hmm?"
Firedevil, who was following behind among the five had his eyes lit up suddenly. He immediately walked towards the statue a few meters from the left. The statue resembled a rain worm but had some strange features as it had eight legs with many colorful stripes on its back.
"Don't move!"
Tang Xiu, who was at the forefront, was well aware of Firedevil's actions. He turned around and growled low before he headed straight for Firedevil. What angered him was that the position of the statue in front of him instantly changed after his feet left the correct route of the array arrangement. As he stopped moving, he fully moved his fist and violently slammed the floor three meters to the left.
BANG …
The layer of air rippled as if space was bent and distorted. The statue in front of Tang Xiu's vision returned to its original state when its figure flashed with lightning speed at the same time and instantly appeared in front of the empty-looking Firedevil. He grabbed the man's shoulder and forcefully dragged him back behind Aquababe.
"What just happened…"
Firedevil looked around in confusion and finally looked at Tang Xiu.
"I originally thought this Elementalist team had good discipline and would act cautiously within this dangerous remnant. I never thought you were so arrogant and stupid," Tang Xiu said apathetically. "Pay my orders if you don't want to get lost inside this place forever. This will be your first and last warning. There will never be a second time I will save you again!"
Therefore, he quickly passed Aquababe, Electrolady, Zhu Long, and returned to the leading position. Even if the three of them looked confused, he did not explain anything more.
"Think of your own business! I can rely on my own strength if I face danger, remember" Firedevil angrily rebuked.
Tang Xiu ignored him and continued forward but decided that he would never save Firedevil again if this person was affected by his own thoughts and decided to stray from the route he had chosen.
Zhu Long frowned and looked behind Tang Xiu as he asked, "What just happened, Tang Xiu?"
"For your information, I still have another special ability. I know the setting of the Feng Shui array formation," Tang Xiu replied without looking back. "This place might look like a room with statues and nothing less. But it was arranged in the form of an array formation, and worse, it was the most troublesome maze. Unless one had sufficient strength to destroy the array with brute force, they would never know they had been trapped inside the labyrinth. Their chances of surviving the predicament were almost zero. "
This place is a labyrinth? And he was fluent in array formations?
Zhu Long's face changed greatly and a chill flowed within him. Tang Xiu's words made her vaguely realize that this person was rather unfathomable.
Electrolady exchanged glances with Aquababe with a similarly shocked expression. They were all Elementalists and with the higher level of connection they had, they naturally learned some knowledge about Feng Shui array formation. Merely, little did they think Tang Xiu would understand Feng Shu's formation.
Could it be ... he was also an extremely powerful Feng Shu expert?
If so, then it was no wonder that their direct superior, Duanmu Lin, forcefully inserted Tang Xiu into their team, and even met Tang Xiu's excessive demands.
But Firedevil's expression turned much worse at this moment. Tang Xiu, whom he had seen with disdain and disgust, had just saved him once. He felt his face completely washed away. More so after learning that this man turned out to be a Feng Shui expert, who understood the essence of the array formation all of a sudden, which was something that he could barely accept.
Seven more minutes passed, and Tang Xiu had led the four people through the sculpture field and arrived at the three-meter-high passageway. Tang Xiu looked at the door on the front made of steel that completely sealed off the passageway and immediately released his spiritual senses to detect the interior in the back.
Zhu Long put on a complicated expression as she watched Tang Xiu. He knew very well that they had all arrived at this point easily all because of Tang Xiu. It should be noted that China sent nearly 100 people for the first exploration of these three-star remnants and eventually reached this point as well. But the number of people still alive is less than 20, but only one of them survived after passing through fields of statues and attacks from robots and was seriously injured before fleeing.
Therefore, all the humiliation he had towards Tang Xiu now completely vanished. Although he believed that Tang Xiu's combat prowess was not so good, his special abilities were something they desperately needed.
"Tang Xiu, we need to find a way to open this door if we want to keep going forward. Else, we will not benefit much from our efforts to explore this place," Zhu Long's expression sparkled. She was somewhat hopeful that Tang Xiu could find a way to open the door.
Tang Xiu calmly smiled in response. He had already found a method to open the steel gate after observing the surroundings with his spiritual senses. However, in order not to expose this special ability, he deliberately looked around and finally stopped in front of a few runes written on the steel wall in front.
It was a conglomeration of connected line sequences formed in a dragon pattern. If one did not observe it carefully, they would not see that there was one dragon eye missing, his eyeball. Under the gazes of Zhu Long and the others, Tang Xiu reached out to where his eyes were missing and pressed down on him.
Bzzzt .. sound …
A mechanical sound echoed and a tightly shut steel door slowly split from the center, revealing a wide corridor that appeared before their eyes.
Zhu Long and the others were overjoyed and there was admiration in their eyes as they looked at Tang Xiu. However, their happy skin instantly hardened as they clearly saw the situation within the corridor. They even subconsciously retreated a few steps as if a poisonous snake was blocking their path while they wore a vigilant stance as if preparing to face a formidable enemy.
Tang Xiu slightly frowned, watching the robots on both sides of the corridor. The corridor was only tens of meters away and unexpectedly had 18 robots, each with a robot on their feet.
"Electrolady, Aquababe, it's your turn."
Tang Xiu walked to the side and his expression looked calmer.
Electrolady and Aquababe exchanged glances and then nodded at each other. The latter then formed a water dragon, while the others unleashed lightning bolts and bombarded swiftly towards the robot.
Spark .. Spark .. Spark …
Electric sparks splashed out in all directions, exploding towards the 18 robots and robodogs, shutting everything down quickly, while the pungent black smoke then floated inside the passageway.
Tang Xiu walked forward a few steps and lightly said, "Let's continue! There should be some interesting things ahead if my guess is correct."
