As soon as Ming Qi's words came out of his mouth, the expectations in Ming Yu and Li Yan's hearts were instantly shattered.
Of course, they are most willing to think that it is just an illusion. That is what the three of them have the most hope for and are currently most certain of doing.
"When the opponent attacks like this, the straws thrown out by the attack can actually return to the main body. This also makes it impossible for us to take any tricks.
In other words, regardless of whether those scarecrows are puppets or not, their attacks may be endless.
Only by constantly destroying those straws can they be unable to attack, but even if this is possible, how can we do it? "
Ming Qi frowned in thought and murmured to himself.
She had had the idea before that the attacks of these scarecrows should be puppet-like existences.
The source of controlling their behavior is either the residual thoughts left by the master, which are stored in the puppet's body, or it is driven by the spirit stone.
With an overwhelming attack like that, if it is consumed a few more times, the Scarecrow will not only consume his spirit stones very quickly, but also will soon have only one stick left on his body.
But now it seems that the person who designed this trap has already considered this.
The attacking straw can be retrieved, so what the opponent leaves behind is the driving spirit stone. It may not be possible to consume it. The most likely reason is that the scarecrow has a spirit gathering formation in his body.
The result of doing that may make you despair.
"When the scarecrow appears, Three Breaths will attack!"
Li Yan looked behind him, as if he wanted to see the scarecrow that suddenly appeared through a row of houses. Without waiting for the two women to react, he continued.
"Can we not regard his words as a question to us? It is just a question. If we answer his question within three breaths, will there be no attack?"
Li Yan has been thinking about the conditions for triggering the ban. He discovered that there was a gap of three breaths after the other party questioned him.
Within those three breaths, no attack appeared.
"Senior, are you saying that the reason why the other party did not attack immediately was because they were waiting for our answer?"
When Ming Yu heard this, a light flashed in his beautiful eyes. When Li Yan said this, it really made people feel that the other party was not questioning him.
So if this is the case, if a few people crack it again, the hope will be much greater.
"But how are we going to answer? Can we get over it with a casual answer, or do we have to get back to the other party's satisfaction?"
Ming Qi's mind was spinning.
"It's very simple, try again! And I just tried it once, but I still can't really confirm whether there will be a half-true attack. You need to try it a few more times!"
Li Yan, who transformed into an old man in gray, looked deeply.
Just a few breaths later, Ming Yu flew to the backyard again. This time, Li Yan still didn't let Li Yan take action. Ming Yu no longer walked, but flew directly over.
This time she deliberately flew over the courtyard wall, but just when she reached the courtyard wall, a voice suddenly came.
"Why are you here?"
There was another blur in front of her, and a scarecrow stood in front of her, poking directly on the courtyard wall.
"I just stumbled into this place accidentally!"
Ming Yu answered seriously.
But just when she finished speaking, there was no delay at all this time. The unpleasant feeling that her heart palpitated and seemed like she was about to die, instantly came to her sea of consciousness.
Fortunately, Ming Yu had already fully activated his mana and was ready to retreat at any time.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Ming Yu had already dodged to the corner in front. She sensed the crisis before she even saw the other scarecrows appearing.
"Rumble..."
Then there was a series of shocking roars, and the entire courtyard shook violently again. The three people standing by the wall of the west side of the house looked much calmer this time.
Not only did they not retreat to the house, they also allowed this devastating attack to spread to them wantonly...
As Ming Yu disappeared, the roar from behind quickly weakened, and then quickly disappeared.
"After answering, I launched the attack within a breath!"
Ming Yu opened his red lips slightly and licked his dry red lips with the tip of his red tongue. This attack was too fast.
This action of hers was extremely tempting, but Li Yan's mind was not focused on it at this moment.
"And it doesn't have to be through the circular arch. It's not possible to climb the courtyard wall. How about trying the courtyard walls in the other three directions?"
Ming Qi opens.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the three of them gathered again on the stone path on the west side of the house, and finally looked towards the backyard.
They tried the courtyard walls in the other three directions, but they were unable to stand on the courtyard wall and were blocked by a powerful force.
However, after getting close to the courtyard wall, there would be no problems at all. It was just that the waves of terrifying sensations coming from behind the courtyard walls in three directions made the three of them dare not try to break through them.
"The design intention here is very obvious. You can only go out from the backyard. If you go out from the other three directions, you may not even have a way to survive!"
Li Yan shook his head.
"Then Ming Yu's answer before was probably wrong, so the attack appears immediately. I'll go there this time!"
Ming Qi said...
"Why are you here?"
"It was teleported!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"It's the owner here who invites you!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"Look at the scenery here!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"Of course I want to get out of the courtyard!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"Come for the treasure hunt!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"I am a disciple of the sect!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"To kill you!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"Then why are you here?"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"I am of the Undying Underworld Phoenix clan!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
"Why are you here?"
"What is this place?"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
As time flies, night has already fallen, and there are no stars or moon in the sky, making the courtyard even darker.
But layers of yellow light burst out from time to time in the backyard, and the courtyard was constantly shaking violently, making the courtyard look like a small boat in the wind and rain.
On the vast sea, being hit by violent storms again and again, there is only the last bit of light on the ship, which indicates that it is still working hard to survive!
Since the afternoon, the three of them have answered countless questions. Li Yan has also been passing by again and again, and they have answered every answer they can think of.
Either polite, indifferent, direct, vicious, rhetorical, or cliche...
But no matter which one, the result that follows is a violent storm of attacks...
The next day, still...
On the third day, still...
The three of them stood in the corner of the west wall, watching the rising sun rise again in the east. Even though the three of them were powerful immortal cultivators, their brains were in severe pain at this moment.
At this time, more than an hour had passed by them, and no more had passed.
Because since last night, the questions they had answered in the past were all wrong, and everyone became exhausted.
"Why are you here?"
"Have you eaten yet?" "Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."
"Why are you here?"
"Aren't you tired?" "Boooooooo..." "Boom..."
"Why are you here?"
"Tiandu is black!"
"Whoosh whoosh..." "Rumble..."
After going back and forth like this, no matter how they answered, they only received wave after wave of attacks.
"The scene like this is what the person who set the trap wants to see the most... This is the so-called torture!"
Ming Qi There was no luster in her beautiful eyes. She only felt physically and mentally exhausted. She was hopeful and frustrated again and again.
Not only does it require constant brain-churning and exhaustion, but it also consumes Divine Sense and mana. For anyone, this will slowly make your heart sink...
Li Yan stood on the side of the stone path on the west side, still frowning, Ming Qi was really right, it was only three days!
The owner of this trap is really insidious. He just doesn't completely seal off your hope and makes you have unlimited expectations every moment.
This will make anyone feel that the next moment, they can answer the question correctly and can go out.
As a result, when answering questions later, I felt like I was addicted. I kept raising expectations amid disappointment, and then entered a period of numbness.
Li Yan knows that the three of them seem to be addicted to this. As long as they get through this period of numbness, they will answer questions endlessly.
Under such circumstances, who can practice with peace of mind? After all, as long as the answer is normal, they can leave this damn place in the next moment.
It is always better than being in a place with no resources. You still need to practice until you are strong before you have any hope of breaking through.
Li Yan The sea of consciousness at this moment also felt waves of tingling pain. This was due to the continuous consumption of the mind. This kind of consumption was invisible and very addictive.
"I think this might be a joke!"
Ming Yu shook her head awkwardly, her head already dizzy. She felt that the original owner of this place was really too evil.
Even if she could guess that this place was related to the ancient Undying Underworld Phoenix, she had already lost respect for him in her heart.
"Force yourself to take a break. We may really need to look for the exit from another place. Maybe the North Campus exit is just an illusion!"
After Li Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, not letting himself look at the stingy round door again, as if there was endless attraction there.
As long as I take one more look, I will fall again...
Soon, Li Yan chose a room, and after setting up the formation, he began to force himself to expel the question in his mind, trying hard to stop thinking about how to get out now?
Otherwise, it is really addictive. As soon as his mind is empty, his consciousness will soon turn to that issue again.
Let yourself unconsciously think about how to answer that damn question again...
"Let's go recover and then look around for other exits!"
Sensing the words of the old man in gray that filled his mind, Ming Qi also slowly woke up. The other party was very strong, but he woke up early.
But even with Li Yan's reminder, Ming Qi still stood there for dozens of breaths before he remembered the meaning of Li Yan's words.
What the other party said makes sense. If this continues, their minds will not be able to hold on for too long, and they may collapse in a few days.
And just one day later, Li Yan had to come out, because even though his room was covered by the formation, the loud noise in the entire courtyard still woke him up from his practice.
Li Yan Divine Sense Scanned the room, and found the pair of sisters helplessly. One was carefully exploring other rooms, and the other still went to the backyard from time to time to answer the Scarecrow's questions.
"Oh! It's another damn day!"
Although Li Yan complained, he could only sigh in his heart. The two women's determination was still much weaker, especially Ming Yu.
It took him a long time yesterday to finally allow himself to enter cultivation.
They answered that question so many times that their minds were immersed in it for a long time, thinking about how to answer it all the time.
Even though he forcibly expelled the thoughts, it seemed that the echo of the scarecrow's voice still appeared in his mind...
Li Yan After leaving the door, he did not go to other rooms. He flew directly to the south courtyard wall as the entire courtyard continued to shake.
He decided not to go to the rear courtyard for the time being, but to look at other places, so that he might make new discoveries and at least give his sea of consciousness a rest.
On the south wall, the bamboo branches that were originally everywhere growing up and down, covering the stone path, have now disappeared, revealing the stone path on the ground and part of the courtyard wall behind it.
"They have already checked this place..."
Li Yan thought in his heart that his proposal made the two women also have expectations, but they did not get any clues.
But he still had to check it again in person, except here, all the rooms in the back, other places in the backyard except the courtyard walls and circular arches, as well as the east and west side courtyard walls, and places in the air.
Li Yan plans to check it carefully, maybe his idea is right.
"What exactly was overlooked?"
Li Yan Looking at some of the thin cracks on the wall and the mottled traces of time on the wall, Li Yan's Divine Sense slowly swept over it little by little.
At this time, the roar from behind the courtyard had disappeared again, and the entire courtyard was no longer turbulent and returned to peace.
Ming Yu returned to the west courtyard wall again, and her Divine Sense also glanced towards Li Yan. She also sensed that Li Yan walked out of the room, but soon lowered her head again and began to meditate hard.
Li Yan did not ask the other party, but continued to stay here, exploring the wall in front of him bit by bit, and at the same time used mana along the wall to completely destroy the row of green bamboos.
This allows him to observe carefully with his eyesight while slowly walking along the wall to one side...
Li Yan will occasionally stop and put his palms against the wall, slowly pouring in mana, or simply put his ears against the wall and listen carefully!
The feeling outside the south courtyard wall gave him, even on a sunny day, as if there was endless darkness on the other side of the wall.
Those darkness seemed to be able to swallow everything, which reminded Li Yan of the endless black shadow rising behind each level in the wheel of life and death, which made people unable to resist...
Unlike the north side of the house, you can see the outside scenery through the round arch.
It's like as long as you can go out, you can really enter another world.
