”I don't know whether we can find the control pad or not.”
Feng Yanrou frowned. ”To be honest, although I have ten to twenty percent of confidence to make it through the path safely, I am worried more. With the worry in my head, I will be even more likely to be killed, since I will be so distracted.
Ye Chen looked the same as always, as he touched his storage ring and took out another great weapon. It was not a low rank one but a mid rank one. After pouring in his green lotus Zhen yuan, he threw it out the same as before.
Poosh! Poosh! Poosh!...
The mid rank weapon was indeed tougher than the low rank one, as the first light beam did not shatter it. Then there was the second attack, the third, the fourth... There were thirteen of them in total. Finally, the mid rank weapon that even Ye Chen could not damage shattered before their eyes. The fire that had been brought out by the explosion lit up the whole corridor; it was extremely bright.
”It is impossible!”
Qingzhu's month widened.
Feng Yanrou shook her head as well. She did not have the hope to make it through anymore, unless she managed to find the mechanism for each of them. But, it would not be that easy to find.
Ye Chen said lightly, ”I shot out the low rank weapon at four times the speed of sound, and when it reached four hundred and twenty meters, it was hit. So was the mid rank weapon. Therefore, if pushed to the speed to six times the speed of sound, it would make five hundred and sixty meters. Do you think if I manage to reach five hundred and sixty meters without being hit, I could make it out of there?”
”Of course you can… Six times the speed of sound? You won't have to worry about the first five hundred and sixty meters. If you reach there and still not get hit, then you can move another five hundred and sixty meters. But, how to avoid being hit? In addition to that, five hundred and sixty meters without being hit… you think you can manage that?” Qingzhu was not that stupid as she asked some key questions.
Ye Chen said confidently, ”I could use something to block out the light. But, it would have to be big enough to cover one side of the body, because one would not know where the light was going to hit. Therefore, the mid rank defense on my body would not be able to ensure my safety.”
”Hiding one part of your body and you could block out one attack of the light beam… The puppet warrior!” Feng Yanrou was thinking fast, and she pointed out at the best solution.
Ye Chen nodded, ”Indeed, I was just thinking the same. The defense of the puppet warrior is definitely powerful enough.”
This time, it was Feng Yanrou who was asking the question, ”However, just like you have said, the puppet warrior can only hide one side of the body. Would the light beam not shoot out from the other side? Once it does, then you will be full of holes!”
Ye Chen laughed, ”The low rank weapon I threw out was leaning towards the middle to the left, and the light attack came from the left as well. The mid rank one was leaning towards the above. If I guessed it right, then if I threw it a bit to the right, then the light would come from the right. Since the entrance is square, it means if we connect the two opposite corners together, then there would be four triangles. Let's not worry about the triangle from the bottom. When we are located within one of the triangles,, then we would potentially get hit from the wall that is connected to the triangle. To put it simply, whichever part we are closer to, the wall on that side will shoot out attacks.”
”Impossible! You have only tested it twice, and you already found a pattern?”
Qingzhu did not believe what she had heard. She took out some useless things from her storage rings, trying to test out Ye Chen's theory. In the end, it was exactly as Ye Chen had said. The attacks were easily predictable.
”Mr. Chen, have you seen this before?”
Feng Yanrou asked confusedly.
Ye Chen shook his head, ”This is the mechanism which is different from the puppet, so there would be a pattern. If it were a puppet warrior, then I would have no way of telling.”
The puppet warriors were designed way better than this little mechanism. Of course, the lesser flaws within the hidden mechanisms, the better. But regardless, there would always be flaws. The more important thing was whether one could spot it. Ye Chen did not know what its designer was thinking. But, if it were him, he would get rid of all the so-called patterns, and design it to shoot out attacks from three different walls whenever someone tried to enter.
Perhaps, the person who designed this wanted to save power. Or perhaps, he or she was considering the disciples' abilities, but there was no way of knowing it now.
”Let's go inside!”
Qingzhu was excited.
”Not yet. There is one last experiment.”
Ye Chen took out two low rank weapons, one big and one small. He threw both of them out at the same time. The two low rank weapons were traveling parallel to each other and at the same speed and height. The big low rank weapon was leaning towards the left side of the wall, covering the smaller low rank weapon.
Pooh!
A light beam shot out from the left side, hitting the big low rank weapon, while the small one was completely safe and sound, making it pass through the tunnel.
This time, Ye Chen threw them out at six times the speed of light.
”Now, we can go.”
Ye Chen let out a breath.
”You are so clever!” Qingzhu found herself starting to admire Ye Chen as well. Just like she had said before, if they managed to make it through five hundred sixty meters without being hit, then what could they do when there was an attack at five hundred and seventy meters? When Ye Chen said that they could use the puppet warrior to block out the attacks, she had forgotten about the last possibility, which Ye Chen had found the answer to now with the two items. Indeed, the puppet warrior could help them get past the attacks in the condition of them being able to avoid another attack when they continued flying. Otherwise, all of it would be wasted. As for the possibility of controlling the puppet warrior to block one side would be even less practical, since the blasting power would push the puppet onto them, which would also be deadly.
