Chapter 527: and translation of chapter title

The Earth Divine Power Shield lasts only 10 seconds; if he doesn't escape this passage within that time, he must use his next skill to resist, and eventually he will be beaten to death.

But we need to be faithful, not padded. Let's produce concise translation.

"Earth Divine Power Shield lasts only 10 seconds; if he doesn't flee this passage within that time, he must use the next skill to resist. Eventually he will be beaten to death."

We confirmed the info: the Earth Divine Power Shield lasts only 10 seconds; if he doesn't escape the passage within that time, he must use his next skill to resist, and eventually he will be beaten to death.

Ok.

Running a 2-kilometer road is really slow.

Translate: "A 2-kilometer route is really slow if you run."

Translate: "The second palm strike slammed down, and again a full-screen 999 damage appeared, chipping away at the Earth Divine Power Shield's shield value."

Xiao Feng waited a few seconds to see if a fourth palm would strike.

Fortunately, after entering the room he was temporarily safe, and the annihilating giant hand did not pursue him further.

Moreover, the system alert fell silent, as if it had deemed him dead and stopped evaluating his performance.

Xiao Feng deliberately waited in place for 120 seconds.

From past experience, he knew he could only stay in the room for 120 seconds, or else he'd be killed.

Translate: "Because from previous experience, he could only stay in a room for 120 seconds, otherwise he would be killed."

Yet this time, after 120 seconds, he was still unharmed.

The road ahead began to change.

The earlier sensation of being forced to run forward made him very uncomfortable, as if someone were whipping him from behind, and slowing down would get him killed.

Translate: "The earlier feeling of being forced to run forward made him uncomfortable, as if someone were whipping him from behind, and slowing down would get him killed."

He just didn't know if moving forward would still mean being pursued...

"Master, how are you now?"

Helna's concerned voice echoed in his mind.

Translate: "He Er Na's concerned voice came from his heart."

Xiao Feng replied, "I just encountered some things, but I'm safe now."

Translate: "Xiao Feng replied: \"I just encountered some things, but I'm safe now. \""

He told Helna about his experiences on the way.

Translate: "He told He Er Na about his encounters on the road."

"。"

This line is just a period? Actually line 32 is a full stop after previous line? The Chinese line is "。" which is a period. We need to translate it as "."? Probably just a period. We'll output ".".

Bad luck and a wrong path mean instant death by a palm strike.

Even with good luck and the right path, puppets block the way, and failing to reach the goal in time still means death.

Translate: "Even if luck is good and he picks the right road, puppets block the way; if he can't reach the destination within the allotted time, he still dies!"

"So dangerous... what will you do next, Master?" Helna listened to his description, her heart clenched with worry.

Translate: "\"How dangerous... Master, what will you do next? \" He Er Na listened to his description, her heart clenched, very worried he might get hurt."

Xiao Feng smiled and reassured: "It's fine; it's no longer urging me. I can wait for my life-saving skill's cooldown to end before moving on. Even if every road is a dead end, as long as it can't instantly kill me, I can keep going."

Translate: "Xiao Feng smiled and comforted: \"It's fine; it's no longer urging me now. I can wait for my life-saving skill's cooldown to finish before continuing forward. Even if every road is a dead end, as long as it can't instantly kill me, I can keep going. \""

He found a method he considered feasible.

Translate: "He found a method he considered feasible."

The Earth Divine Power Shield's cooldown is only 60 seconds, so it passes quickly.

Translate: "The Earth Divine Power Shield's cooldown is only 60 seconds, which passes quickly."

Besides that, he also has a mirror clone he can use as a teleport skill.

However, the mirror clone's swap effect is random and unreliable; if it fails, he could just get slapped to death.

Translate: "However, the Mirror Image Clone's displacement effect is random and unreliable; if it messes up, he could only be slapped to death."

Moreover, 'Instant Lightning' only reaches 50 meters, insufficient to cross the corridor.

So it's better to just wait an hour.

An hour is a long time; he didn't want to waste it, so he sat on the ground and started playing the 'Little Tyrant' game.

Translate: "An hour is very long; he didn't want to waste time, so he simply sat on the ground and started playing the \"Xiao Ba Wang\" game."

Tank battles, Contra, Double Dragon, and so on…

Translate: "Tank Wars, Contra, Double Dragon, and so on..."

He simulated all those familiar games in his mind, using his strong willpower to run calculations and operations, which stimulated and strengthened his mental will.

Translate: "Each familiar game in his mind was simulated by him, supported by strong willpower, performing calculations and operations, stimulating the growth of his mental will."

Soon, an hour passed.

Translate: "Soon, an hour passed."

Xiao Feng's mental will had improved.

Translate: "Xiao Feng's mental will increased somewhat."

He stood up, casually found an intersection, and slipped into it.

Translate: "He stood up, casually found an intersection, and slipped into it."

This time there are six roads, but they might all be dead ends with no way out, so it doesn't matter which one he takes.

Translate: "This time there were six roads, but possibly all six were dead ends with no way out, so it didn't matter which one he took."

Xiao Feng stepped onto the road, and the room behind him would still be cut off.

Translate: "Xiao Feng stepped onto the road, but the room behind him would still be cut off."

But there was no system prompt telling him whether he had chosen correctly or not.

Translate: "However, the system gave no indication whether he had chosen correctly or incorrectly."

Only a giant hand several hundred meters large appeared in the sky, telling him: 'Prepare to die!'

Translate: "Only a giant hand several hundred meters large appeared in the sky above, telling him: \"Prepare to die! \""

A sense of pressure came from above; Xiao Feng knew this was another 9999 billion damage, so he dared not be careless.

Translate: "A sense of oppression came from above; Xiao Feng knew this was another 9999 billion damage, so he dared not be careless."

The Earth Divine Power Shield held up just in time, and at the same time a fire dragon nearly as huge as the palm flew out.

Translate: "The Earth Divine Power Shield held up at the last second, and at the same time a fire dragon roughly the size of the palm flew out."

Boom—

This

The palm strike, sure enough, still dealt 10 trillion damage, chipping away at the shield.

The fire dragon was very fast, flying far away.

When the second palm strike fell, Xiao Feng used the special effect of his divine artifact shoes, teleporting away again to dodge the blow.

Bang!

The missed palm strike shattered the entire road, even the room was shaking.

Xiao Feng was safe once again.

Just like last time, it was a silent room, and the system gave no hint at all.

Counting up, this is already the 'fifth level'.

However, the total number of levels is unknown.

Xiao Feng remembered the experience of the God of Weather, Luo Ke Xi Ba Er De, on Mechanism Island, where all the way forward he encountered no danger.

Not even a puppet!

His path now is different from that of the God of Weather, and also different from others.

What lies ahead, there is no procedure to refer to; he can only proceed his own way.

He continued to hone his willpower in place, waiting for his equipment skills to cooldown.

After 1 hour, Xiao Feng rose again and walked toward the next room.

This time, there are 12 roads, the number of choices unprecedentedly many!

Looking at the complex 12 roads, Xiao Feng couldn't help but think of a question.

Since the previous road was already a 'dead end', why would they set up so many roads afterward?

Normally, after 'death' there should be nothingness, so there's no need to set up subsequent levels at all.

Even after he 'died', he had cleared two levels in a row, and clearly there was still a third level to challenge, which feels somewhat unreasonable.

But no matter what, having come this far, he can only press forward.

Keep charging!

Xiao Feng casually picked a road and stepped onto it.

The anticipated giant palm strike appeared again; he had to repeat his previous maneuver, using the Earth Divine Power Shield and Weather Pull to get through.

Having cleared the fifth level, he arrived at the sixth room.

Along this way there were no more skeletons or bones; it was lonely, with only walls and air left.

Xiao Feng began the cyclic operation.

One hour spent honing his will, waiting for skill cooldown.

Then he used 10 seconds to pass through a corridor, reaching the next room.

Sixth level, seventh level, eighth level...

Xiao Feng repeatedly, without tiring, repeated the similar process.

He Er Na checked on his progress every hour, which gave them a chance to chat, so he wouldn't be too lonely.
