Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow)

"Don't worry, we still have time."

Binglao glanced at the hourglass hanging on the fan flower, the scale on it had only dropped by a small scale, and they still had a full 55 minutes.

"Okay, let's think about it, what is the trigger mechanism of these floating board mechanisms?"

He has always been indifferent, and when he said these words, his tone was still calm.

"At least, the fish and birds we encountered just now are all monsters in "Shan Hai Jing."

Baroque said:

"If I'm not mistaken, the fish with wings is called a squid, and the big eagle with horns behind its head is a gu carving."

After Su Rong finished listening, she smiled lightly.

"Now the problem is a bit serious."

She exhaled:

"If I remember correctly, there are particularly ferocious creatures like Qiongqi, Phoenix, Jiaolong, and Ba snake in "Shan Hai Jing", right?"

"Ah."

Baroque gave a definite guess.

Although I don't know whether Yuanchen Palace is really capable of restoring these ancient monsters, but no matter which one it is, as long as it has one-tenth of the legendary power, it is enough for them to drink a pot.

"We must find the law of these floating boards, and try not to trigger the mechanism again."

"alright."

Marco whistled a frivolous whistle in the headset:

"Now, the problem is back again—why did the beams of light appear in the last two times when nothing happened the first two times?"

Everyone was silent again.

After about ten seconds, the robot said:

"After much deliberation, the biggest possibility at present is that the five elements generate and restrain each other, right?"

He paused:

"Otherwise, whether it's mutual generation or mutual restraint, we should avoid trying?"

Ice Grail agreed to his proposal.

In the last round of the first round, the three of Mo Tiangen and the others took the number "eight" which represents "gold".

In this way, it is necessary to exclude the "earth" and "water" that are related to "gold", as well as the "fire" and "wood" that are incompatible with them - it is equivalent to the fact that they can choose, only "gold" itself is left up.

"Wow, this is too bad!"

Someone uttered an exclamation:

"Does it mean that we can only choose the only option of 'gold' all the way?"

Although boards of the same type have a total of 20 yuan in the entire floating board system, there are only two boards allocated to each circle.

If this guess comes true, then they will probably have to step on those floating boards with wrong attributes in order to continue to move forward.

"Let me do it."

Ji Thrush looked at the two floating boards in front of him.

The one in front of his left is a white "Qi", and the one in front of his right is a blue "Lu".

"I'll try to take the piece that represents 'gold'."

After finishing speaking, Ji Xiaoniao, together with Baroque and Tattoo, stepped onto the "Qi" on the left.

Just like the rules that the narrator told them earlier, when the three of them stepped on the second floating board, the board they had stayed on disappeared quickly.

Then, Ji Thrush saw that the floating board on the third circle moved.

They have all moved one space to the left.

But other than that, the feet of the three of Ji Thrush were quiet, and there was no beam of light.

Marco's frivolous whistle came from the earphone.

The blond man said excitedly, "It seems that we guessed it right!"

In order to verify this conclusion, everyone decided to walk the remaining white floating board.

The only remaining "golden" floating board in the second circle is numbered "Two", and it is on the right side of Ren Jianmo and the Fan family siblings.

So the three of them stepped up one by one.

However, a scene that surprised everyone immediately followed.

A circle of white light floated under the feet of the three of Ren Jianmo, and then formed a beam of light that soared into the sky, and four big cats jumped out of it.

These four beasts look like leopards, with red hair all over and light stripes on their backs, but they have five tails and one horn on their foreheads.

The lead one let out a growl, the sound like a hammer hitting a stone chime.

Afterwards, three of them rushed towards Mo Tiangen, Marco and the robot arm, while the other one turned its head sharply and headed straight in the direction of the three of them.

Different from the squid and gu carvings, these leopards obviously didn't have wings, but they stepped on the void with their four claws, but they ran fast and steadily as if they were walking on flat ground.

"Just in time!"

Marco roared, his arm muscles stretched, and the surface has completely turned into sharp-edged steel:

"One per person, the one that can't be killed is a puppy!"

As soon as the words fell, the leopard in the lead had already rushed in front of the three of them, opened its bloody mouth, and came towards Marco with a hungry tiger.

Its sharp teeth bit the blond man's arm, making a loud "clang".

"Oh f*ck!"

Marco cursed, "This big cat's mouth is so good! It's going to crush my arm!"

As he spoke, the other arm turned sideways, pressed against the leopard's jaw, and wrestled with the monster.

Although this big cat with horns on its forehead is a monster in "Shan Hai Jing", since it has grown into the shape of a leopard, its fighting style is also very similar to that of a leopard.

It failed to bite through Marco's arm, so it let go immediately. With a kick of its hind legs, its upper body jumped upwards, and it opened its mouth to bite down the prey's throat.

"Drink!"

With a roar, Marco simply put his legs together, wrapped around the leopard's waist, and rolled onto the floating board together with it.

Then he firmly suppressed the horned cat with his body weight, strangled its back with one hand, and clenched his other hand into a fist, desperately stuffing it deep into its throat.

The leopard was so choked that it couldn't breathe, and it tried its best to break free from the opponent's shackles, and its five tails swung like whips.

But the blond man was trying hard to kill it.

No matter how the leopard resisted, the metal fist still grabbed the big cat's throat, stuffing it deeper and deeper...

And right next to Marco, Mr. Dagen was copying a folding stool and smashing to the bottom with another red-haired leopard; the manipulator released four basketball-sized machines from the box, chased the third leopard, and used a laser gun Push it back to a safe distance...

By the time Mo Tiangen, Ma Ke, and the robotic arm had dealt with the three leopards as quickly as possible, Binglang had already taken care of the fourth one.

"So, what's the problem?"

Marco tugged at his T-shirt.

He didn't transform into "Iron Man", he just metalized the skin all over his body.

After wrestling with the red-haired leopard, the clothes on the blond man's body were torn into rags by the big cat's sharp claws. It will be mosaiced.

"...well, I think we all guessed wrong."

Baroque sighed for a long time, "The trigger mechanism of this mechanism is not about mutual generation and mutual restraint..."

The tattoo next to Baroque patted his lover's shoulder comfortingly, and then put forward his own thoughts:

"That can't be random, right? For example, the probability of [-]/[-]..."

"No, no, wait a minute, everyone!"

Fan Luming suddenly cried out.

"Now, there is a more serious problem before us!"

The younger brother of the Fan family said hastily:

"The number of monsters that appear from the beam of light will double every time!"

The comm channel fell silent again.

Yes, after three consecutive times, everyone noticed this pattern.

The number of monsters that appeared from the beam of light each time was a multiple of the previous one.

In the first round, there was one giant fish, in the second round, there were two Gu sculptures, and in the third round, the number of red-haired leopards, that is, the number of ferocious ones, directly became four.

"Our fastest progress is only in the second lap."

Su Rong counted with her fingers, and the color of her cheeks gradually faded.

"Even if we only send out one group and move forward regardless... If we are unlucky and step on the mechanism every time, by the tenth lap, a total of 24 monsters will appear!"

This number is too terrifying, just saying it makes people tremble with fear.

Even if everyone's fighting power is very strong, if more than 1000 monsters appear at once, their chances of winning are very worrying.

Moreover, the monsters here are still based on the "Shan Hai Jing", and what will appear every time is completely unpredictable.

If their luck is really that small, a thousand and twenty-four flood dragons emerge at the last moment... That picture is so beautiful that just imagining it makes me feel hopeless.

Baroque sighed a little tiredly:

"We must not move casually now."

Indeed, the punishment of doubling the number of monsters for every mistake is too heavy.

Now they have been wrong three times. If they are trying casually, even if they find the correct way to clear the level later, it is very likely that it will be difficult to come back because of the too many previous failures.

"Don't panic."

Ice Grain's cold voice sounded in everyone's earphones, "There is still time."

Ji Thrush looked up and looked at the huge hourglass hanging on the "Vanhua".

More than 10 minutes have passed, and they have less than 10 minutes left.

So far, he and Ren Jianmo have made the fastest progress, but they have only reached the second lap.

There are still eight rounds left, and every time you make a mistake, the number of monsters will double, and everyone will have to spend more time dealing with them.

In other words, relying on brute force and luck is not only impractical, but also extremely dangerous-the only chance for everyone to win is to find out what the trigger mechanism of the floating mechanism is.

Ji Thrush frowned deeply.

To be honest, he has no clue now.

After all, as long as you are a Chinese with a little metaphysical common sense, when you see the red, yellow, blue, green and white boards, you will easily think of the concepts of "five elements" and "mutual generation and mutual restraint".

It's just that now they have used three mistakes to prove that everyone's previous guess was incorrect... At least, they didn't guess it completely.

——Could it be that, do you need to cooperate with the time and azimuth of the heavenly stems and earthly branches to carry out the deduction?

Ji Xiaoniao thought of the few comprehension online novels he had read, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

--impossible!

He told himself in his heart that if this was the case, it would be too unfair to ordinary contestants like them with no background.
