Chapter 1220 The World Was Born Where the Gods Slept (42)
Wu Muyang took a deep breath, then jumped onto the shield sword monster and flew forward at high speed.
"Boom!"
The middle-level rock tree continued to rotate faster and faster. Wu Muyang stared at the front and took advantage of the gap when the maze rock wall moved to fly forward immediately.
The Shieldsword Monster quickly shuttled through the stone wall and passed through the maze ahead before the stone wall closed.
There was a "click" sound, as if countless gears were meshing at the same time, making a crisp and loud sound.
In an instant, the wildly spinning rock trees in the middle layer stopped rotating as if they were cast under a spell, and they fit together tightly.
"We've roughly figured out the maze's movement patterns. It contracts left and right every sixty minutes, and moves up and down every eighty minutes. The number of levels each time is also different. Contracting left and right involves two levels simultaneously, while moving up and down involves a single level."
"According to the rules I just derived, I can retreat step by step along the way!"
"Starting from the last step, if I want to reach the final entrance to the Yellow Sand Ruins, I must first reach the spiral staircase." Wu Muyang raised his head and looked at the rock wall before the end point. "According to the law of change, the passage to the spiral staircase will appear in about 120 minutes, which is two hours later."
"And so on. Using the dumbest method, I can wait for the maze to move, advancing at a snail's pace. As long as I give it time, I'll eventually reach the Yellow Sand Ruins... But I can't wait that long."
"No wonder almost no one can get through the maze. Even if they find the pattern, it's hard to calculate the most time-saving route forward... But..." Wu Muyang took a deep breath, then took out his phone and said to it, "Polygon, you should have remembered the maze movement pattern I just mentioned. Help me calculate the best route."
"Roger that!"
A pixelated figure of Porygon appeared on the electronic screen, a dialog box popped up, two words were replied, and then high-speed calculations began.
"We've planned the best route for you. Estimated departure time: 2 hours and 58 minutes..."
When Wu Muyang saw this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Now is the time to verify whether the route is feasible. If not, we have no choice but to force our way through." Wu Muyang thought as he walked along the route planned by Porygon.
…………
World Tree Secret Realm, core area.
"Cui Mu..." A hoarse voice sounded, startling Cui Mu who had just entered the core area of the World Tree Secret Realm. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man about sixty years old sitting on the ground, gently stroking the head of the Ancient Sword Leopard with his hand.
After seeing the old man's face clearly, Cui Mu also let out a long sigh: "Captain Xu...Captain Xu, you're here already?"
"Yeah." Xu Xiu nodded gently. Looking at a young man like Cui Mu, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, trying to show a kind smile, but it made people even more uneasy. "Which area are you going to?"
"Steel Island, Area B." Cui Mu smiled and flattered Xu Xiu: "Captain Xu, you are really quick. You are worthy of being the pillar of the Rocket Team and the ace of the Phantom Special Brothers Team."
"Don't try to be so rude..." Xu Xiu waved his hand and frowned at Cui Mu: "You are facing Regis Chilu? Not bad... You can actually pass the test."
"Well, it was just a fluke." Cui Mu smiled and chatted with Xu Xiu. The two were quite familiar with each other.
This is also because after Cui Mu joined the Phantom Special Team, he followed Xu Xiu and could be said to be half-apprentice of Xu Xiu.
"Captain Xu, you're truly amazing. You passed the Endless Glacier so quickly. Unlike me, I put in a lot of effort to barely make it through the test, and I was just a hair's breadth away from being unable to get out." Cui Mu smiled at Xu Xiu and said, "You see, even my master isn't as good as you. He's still trapped in the Dragon's Homeland of Area E."
"You sly fellow, following your master, you've learned nothing but his smooth talking and cunning tactics." Xu Xiu looked at Cui Mu and said, "Who are heading to Areas A and D? Wu Muyang and Xiao Yu?"
"Captain Xu... your guess is spot on! You're simply a prophet." Cui Mu continued to flatter him with a smile, "District A is Senior Brother Mu Yang, and District D is Senior Sister Yu."
"Okay, okay, stop with your attitude. I don't buy it." Xu Xiu waved his hand.
"Captain Xu, this is from the bottom of my heart. An elder in the family is like a treasure! With you in our Phantom Special Operations Team, great success is just around the corner."
Xu Xiu shook his head helplessly: "You have learned a little bit from your master. You are quite shameless."
As the two were talking, the portal began to fluctuate again.
"Xiao Cui..." Xu Xiu reached out and gently stroked the Ancient Sword Leopard while looking at the portal and said, "Who do you think it will be this time?"
"Of course it's my wise, brave, and suave master." Cui Mu flattered him without any psychological burden: "With my master's strength, a small secret realm is not something he can easily conquer. The reason he hasn't come yet is that he must be catching dragon-type Pokémon..."
There was a violent energy fluctuation coming from the portal, and then Xiao Yu and her Genesect appeared in front of Xu Xiu and Cui Mu.
"Senior Sister Yu, it really is you... I just told Captain Xu that with your strength, you will definitely be the third one to arrive. Passing Reggie Elerchi's test will be a piece of cake for you."
Xu Xiu turned his head and looked at Cui Mu deeply.
This boy has the style of his teacher and has a bright future. With time, he will definitely achieve great things!
"Senior Xu, Xiao Cui... Hey, where's Master? Master hasn't arrived yet?" Xiao Yu looked around and found that only Cui Mu and Xu Xiu were there. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. As for her cheap senior brother Wu Muyang, she only realized it belatedly and said, "Oh, and Senior Brother Muyang, it seems he hasn't arrived either!"
"There are only three of us here right now. Master must have been delayed by something. With his strength, he'll be fine. Senior Brother Mu Yang, on the other hand, hasn't arrived yet. He might be in danger." Cui Mu put away his playful smile and said seriously, "Will they be discovered by the people of the Beautiful Country?"
Having said that, Cui Mu also stood up and looked at the portal with a frown: "Is this portal one-way or two-way? Can we go to Area A from here to support Senior Brother Mu Yang?"
"It's one-way. No need to try. I've already checked it out." Xu Xiu's voice rang out, "Be patient and sit down. Although your Senior Brother Mu Yang doesn't possess superpowers like you and Xiao Yu, he's the most calm and reliable. Nothing will go wrong."
"Let me tell you, he should still be undergoing the test. But your master..." Xu Xiu frowned and said, "With his strength, it shouldn't have taken this long."
…………
I got up early in the morning and worked overtime in the afternoon, and now I have a terrible headache.
To be honest, I didn't expect this plot to be so long. I originally wanted to briefly write about the stories of Xu Xiu, Cui Mu, Wu Muyang and Xiao Yu, but I decided to write it as a group portrait.
Okay, let’s get ready for bed. Everyone, have a good rest and take care of yourselves. Good night!
Asking for gifts and urging for more updates~
