Chapter 36: Running and jumping with arms
Ning Zhuo fell into thought.
He didn't know what the ring on the mechanism was.
He didn't know what the spell was.
But he knew about spirit stones, and he knew that he was short of them at the moment.
"I spent a lot of time exploring the surroundings before. Now the spirit stones in my body have less than 40% of their spiritual power."
"Choose spirit stones!"
Ning Zhuo made a decision in his heart.
The next moment, a circle of light appeared out of thin air in front of him. The circle of light expanded slightly and spit out a spirit stone.
Ning Zhuo hurriedly caught the spirit stone. At the same time, the circle of light quickly dissipated.
Ning Zhuo took the second spirit stone and pushed the door open with difficulty and entered room 2.
Bang!
The door closed automatically behind him.
Ning Zhuo turned around and pushed the door, trying to return to room 1.
The door did not move at all.
"Okay." Ning Zhuo had to turn back and began to look carefully at room 2.
The layout of room 2 was very different from that of room 1. The room was a long strip, empty, with square bricks on the floor and walls, emitting a brass luster.
Ning Zhuo saw the door at a glance.
The door was right in front of him.
The information came again - through room 2, into room 3.
Ning Zhuo observed for a moment, and after collecting no new information, he took a step and walked directly to the door.
As a result, after walking a few steps, he found himself retreating.
He hurriedly looked down and saw that the floor tiles were slowly moving backwards!
Ning Zhuo had to speed up and increase his speed.
The speed at which the floor tiles moved backwards was also increasing.
He walked faster and faster and was forced to run.
"If I had known it was such a test, I should have chosen the leg parts carefully."
In room 1, Ning Zhuo was worried about the consumption of spiritual power and had to buy time. In addition, it was difficult to match the length of the legs, so he made do with it.
As a result, now - his two feet were not level, and he limped and ran, which was quite bumpy, affecting his speed.
When he ran to the middle at the maximum speed.
Suddenly, a huge tree popped out from the right wall.
One end of the tree was fixed in the wall, and the other end popped out, like a giant arm sweeping across.
Ning Zhuo remained alert and quickly jumped up to avoid the tree.
But just as he landed, another huge tree popped out from the left wall.
Ning Zhuo had already made a jumping action, but the floor tiles were constantly moving backwards. He didn't exert enough force, his footing was unstable, and he jumped low this time.
Bang.
With a light sound, he was hit by the huge tree, drew a long arc in the air, and then fell to the ground.
He slid back a distance on the ground, and finally hit the first door, and then stopped.
Ning Zhuo, the puppet, lay on the ground, dizzy, and recovered after a few breaths.
"There is such a mechanism?!"
"The runes on the huge tree seem to have the ability to weaken the soul."
Ning Zhuo felt a weakness in his soul.
He looked up and saw: the black runes on the giant tree gradually disappeared, and the whole giant tree slowly returned to the wall. Then, the wall tiles on both sides moved with a click and returned to their original state.
"I understand!" Ning Zhuo's heart moved.
"These giant trees that swept over are both my obstacles and my stepping stones."
"I need to jump up and jump on them when they hit me, and then use the force to jump forward."
The speed of the mechanical puppet itself is very limited. In the middle, it begins to be slower than the speed of the floor tiles moving backward.
Ning Zhuo could not get close to the second door just by running.
The wall was originally very smooth and could not be used for leverage. But the horizontal bar that popped out gave an opportunity.
With a new discovery, Ning Zhuo tried again.
He saw the right time and jumped continuously. When he reached the fifth giant tree...
Bang.
He was swept out by the giant tree.
"The closer to the door, the faster the floor tiles move backward. I must accurately judge the speed of the backward movement to land steadily."
After summarizing the experience and lessons, Ning Zhuo continued.
Bang.
When he jumped to the eighth giant tree, the difficulty increased again. A giant tree shot out from the roof, from top to bottom, and directly knocked him away.
Ning Zhuo hit the door and his body fell apart.
He assembled it for a while, and finally stretched out his hands, picked up the head, and put it on his neck again.
"The head part is a bit big. It's square and turns slowly. I should have changed it to a smaller head earlier."
"The key is that the legs and feet are not aligned, which has the greatest impact."
"Fortunately, I remember the positions of these giant trees. I should be able to pass it by trial and error!"
Bang!
This time, he only jumped three giant trees and was knocked back again.
Ning Zhuo looked at the giant trees that were slowly collected into the wall and was very surprised: "No, the positions of these giant trees are not fixed? Can they be changed freely?"
The difficulty suddenly increased tenfold!
On the throne of the main hall, the dragon turtle fire spirit had been secretly paying attention to the first trialer. When it saw the puppet Ning Zhuo staying in place and not moving, it laughed happily and made a cooing sound.
Ning Zhuo, the dull-headed puppet, seemed to be performing a lively puppet show for him. Long Yuan Huo Ling, who watched the show throughout, had a lot of fun.
Bang, bang, bang...
Ning Zhuo failed to break through the levels one after another.
"Not enough spiritual power."
He sighed in his heart, sat cross-legged, and opened the small lid on his belly.
Under the lid, there was a secret compartment, and a spiritual stone was placed in the secret compartment.
This spiritual stone has become dim, and the spiritual power inside has been almost exhausted.
Ning Zhuo dug out this spiritual stone and quickly filled it with the second spiritual stone.
He closed the small lid on his belly and patted it gently with his little palm to make sure it was firmly in place.
"When replacing the spirit stone, you must be quick and make good use of the spiritual power still running in the puppet's body. This is probably when the puppet is at its weakest."
The replaced spiritual stone actually still has some spiritual power.
But Ning Zhuo didn't dare to continue using it.
What if, while he was sprinting, his spiritual energy was completely exhausted and there was no trace left in the puppet's body, then he would be completely dead.
"In the puppet form, it consumes more than just the spiritual power in the spiritual stone."
"Every time I am hit, the talisman on the giant tree will weaken my soul."
"I enter the palace as a soul. If the soul is weak to a certain extent, even if it has spiritual power, it will have to lie down."
"And this puppet body is also constantly accumulating injuries."
Ning Zhuo observed himself and found that there were cracks and cracks in various parts such as his arms and head.
"The location of the giant tree is arbitrary. There is no trick, so we can only work hard."
Concentrating his energy and regrouping, Ning Zhuo started sprinting again.
Bang, bang, bang...
Ning Zhuo was knocked back again and again, and he also accumulated experience time and time again, increasing his proficiency in controlling the puppet body.
His progress is visible to the naked eye.
When he rushed to the last section of the road, seven or eight giant trees showed their power at the same time. They bounced off like convulsions. Some swept across, some went straight, some fell from the sky, and some changed directions midway.
Ning Zhuo was knocked down again, and one of his legs was directly smashed. After the whole person fell to the ground, he was brought back to the first door by the moving floor tiles.
Both legs were bumpy before.
Now that one leg is missing, what should I do?
After thinking about it, Ning Zhuo had a bold idea.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
He removed his arms one after another and replaced them under his torso, replacing his thighs.
Then he inserted the remaining thigh into his right arm.
He turned into a weird puppet man with a rather strange image.
Ning Zhuo did not rush to try, but stayed where he was and practiced for a while, gradually mastering his new form.
Half an hour later.
Ning Zhuo, who had only one arm left, luckily passed and climbed to the second door.
His condition was extremely poor, and his soul had been weakened too much by the runes.
"Hurry, hurry up!"
He urged himself, stretched out his hand with difficulty, and touched the door.
In an instant, the message was conveyed.
As before, there are still three options.
First, spiritual stones.
Second, machine accessories.
Third, magic.
Ning Zhuo was at the end of his game and had no time to take a closer look, so he directly selected the spell.
The next moment, he passed out.
