Chapter 966 "Fight with all your strength, tense moment!"

"Zhang Meng, you said these monsters are just 'appetizers', so where is the 'main course'?" Bai Xue dodged the attack of a mechanical monster breathlessly and looked back at Zhang Meng, "Why do I feel like the 'main course' is coming soon? And it seems that they want to treat us as the 'main course'!"

"Haha, don't worry, Bai Xue." Zhang Meng waved the metal ball in his hand and said leisurely, "These monsters are just obstacles set for us by the system. The real test is yet to come! I tell you, the most exciting part is coming soon."

Bai Xue glanced at him: "The most exciting part? Can't you give me a more 'reliable' explanation? I think the monster in front of me is exciting enough!"

"Look, Bai Xue, since you're so anxious, let's just start with this wave of monsters. The 'exciting' part, let's start with the weapon in your hand!" Zhang Meng smiled slyly, "I didn't ask you to bring this 'knife' for nothing!"

Bai Xue looked down at the knife in her hand and couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Are you kidding? This 'knife' can only cut fruit at best. It's not enough in this environment!"

Zhang Meng suddenly took out a bracelet and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that this bracelet of mine is an 'enhanced version'. You can wear it and it will improve your combat effectiveness!"

Bai Xue's mouth twitched: "Are you planning to make me a fighting machine? You are becoming more and more like an 'equipment merchant'."

"Haha, the equipment supplier is pretty good." Zhang Meng smiled proudly, "But I know you can do it. Don't underestimate this knife. It has been specially strengthened! Look, the 'feast' is coming soon!"

"'Feast'? What kind of metaphor is that? Why do I feel like it's a huge trap?" Bai Xue grabbed Zhang Meng's arm, "Are you really arranging a 'super challenge' for us?"

A hint of amusement flashed in Zhang Meng's eyes: "If you think it's a trap, then try to escape and see who can escape first."

Bai Xue glared at him fiercely: "You can tell me who is surrounded by monsters and who dares not to run away?"

As the two talked, more and more monsters appeared around them, and their attacks became more fierce. Lightning flashed, lasers shot from all angles, and a heavy sense of oppression filled the air. Bai Xue had to concentrate on dealing with every enemy. Although the knife in her hand was small, she still tried her best to resist the enemy's attack.

"Zhang Meng, tell me! What kind of challenge have you prepared for us?" Bai Xue asked angrily, "I can't handle these monsters anymore! How do you want us to break through this level?"

While dodging the enemy's attacks, Zhang Meng calmly said, "Don't worry, this is just a 'warm-up', the real 'challenge' is coming soon!"

"Don't scare me with that word again!" Bai Xue was very angry. "These monsters are the only things I can deal with now. I have no interest in anything else!"

"Don't worry," Zhang Meng looked at Bai Xue with a smile, "Your current challenge is just a test of your reaction speed. We are ready for the real difficult problems."

"Are you ready? Can the problem be as simple as the monsters I'm facing now?" Bai Xue replied with a wry smile, "Say something that will give me confidence!"

"Okay, let me tell you, the next challenge is actually a battle of 'minds.'" Zhang Meng showed a meaningful smile, his eyes full of confidence, "These monsters are not the 'simple' enemies you imagine. They are part of the 'mind maze' set by the system. The appearance of each wave of monsters is sending you a message."

"Information?" Bai Xue was puzzled. "These monsters can actually transmit information?"

"Yes!" Zhang Meng nodded. "What you need to do is not only to defeat them, but also to infer the 'hidden rules' from their attack patterns. Each monster represents a test of the system. Defeating them means you have solved a 'puzzle'."

"So, what you mean is that there is a hidden 'code' behind every monster's attack?" Bai Xue frowned.

"That's right!" Zhang Meng said excitedly, "Look, their attack methods are becoming more and more regular, aren't they? You just need to find the 'loopholes' in them, and you can crack their attack patterns. After passing this level, you can enter the next stage."

Bai Xue was stunned: "You mean, we have to crack the monsters' mechanisms by 'guessing' their attack patterns?"

"Right!" Zhang Meng smiled, "I already knew you were smart and could understand this routine! So, the next test will mainly depend on whether we can interpret the attack patterns of these monsters!"

"Wow, it's really complicated!" Bai Xue looked up at the increasingly dense mechanical monsters, "Now that you mention it, it does make sense!"

"Haha, huh?" Zhang Meng pointed, "Look, the monsters' attacks have become regular! Pay attention, their attack methods have become 'repetitive'."

Bai Xue suddenly realized: "You are right! Their attacks do have a pattern!"

"That's right!" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up. "This is our chance! As long as we find the pattern and crack their attacks, we can get through this level smoothly!"

Bai Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly focused her attention and began to analyze the attack pattern of the monster in front of her. Gradually, she found that these mechanical monsters always had an obvious pattern when attacking - their laser attacks were fired at a fixed time interval, and each laser firing direction also had a certain interval.

"I understand!" Bai Xue shouted, "Each time they launch a laser attack, it starts after a fixed time interval, and the direction changes regularly!"

"Great!" Zhang Meng clapped his hands excitedly, "You finally figured it out! Next, we just need to use this rule to evade attacks and we can easily break through!"

"Okay! I understand!" Bai Xue showed a confident smile on her face, "This time, it's not just a matter of strength, but we have to rely on wisdom to defeat these monsters!"

Zhang Meng smiled and nodded: "This is the true strength you should show!"

As Bai Xue's analysis became more and more accurate, the monsters' attacks became easier and easier to dodge. She and Zhang Meng cooperated more and more tacitly, and finally they successfully broke through this level amid wave after wave of monster attacks.

"How was it? Did you find it exciting?" Zhang Meng showed a triumphant smile on his face, "I passed this level so easily!"

Bai Xue took a few deep breaths. Although she was exhausted, she felt satisfied. "It's exciting, but can you give me another easier level?"

"Simple? Do you think this is the end?" Zhang Meng suddenly looked at Bai Xue with a serious face, "This level is the 'real test'!"

Bai Xue's heart sank: "Will the 'real test' you mentioned be more 'complex'?"

"Hey, Bai Xue, are you ready for bigger challenges?" Zhang Meng said in a joking tone.

Bai Xue patted her forehead and said, "I want to see how you make this level even easier than the previous one!"
