Chapter 820: Layout

Seventh floor of the 'Dusk Dynasty Palace'.

On the throne built of gold, the king of the past sat, although already a skeleton, the majesty remained.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang walked around the throne several times, and after finding nothing abnormal, this fellow's courage grew a bit.

Looking at the throne built of pure gold, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's tail wagged, seemingly thinking of some bad idea. It walked to the side of the throne, and a hind leg lifted.

Xu~

A stream of liquid sprayed onto the throne. That's right, this dork Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was taking revenge on the skeleton.

Just as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was enjoying the relief, a surge of electricity suddenly surged out from under the throne.

Zizi zi...

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang twitched for a while.

"Ao!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang let out a wail, tucked its tail, and limped toward the lower floor, its two hind legs clamped tight, its pace very strange.

Su Xiao jumped down from above the palace, jumping into the seventh floor through a window.

"Xiang Bubu?"

Because of the suppression of unknown energy, Su Xiao was unclear about Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's position.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang peeked and looked around at the stairs. At this time, its hind legs were still trembling.

"What happened just now?"

Listening to Su Xiao's question, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at the sky, with an expression of "nothing".

"What's this strange smell?"

Su Xiao's nose twitched, and a faint smell of urine spread on the seventh floor. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang at the stairs looked out the window, its gaze seeming to say: "The weather is really good today."

Su Xiao examined the surroundings and found nothing abnormal.

Nowadays, Su Xiao was the only one in the 'Dusk Dynasty Palace'. The Qiyuezhe of Reincarnation Paradise would arrive in about 10 to 20 hours. As for the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise, they would be slower, or rather, even if they arrived at the 'Oterlank' ancient ruins in advance, they couldn't enter the ancient ruins. This was the result of not snatching the World Core.

Su Xiao began to stroll inside the 'Dusk Palace'. He had to completely memorize the terrain here.

If both sides started a war in the ancient ruins, the main war would be the 'Dusk Palace' and the nearby second area.

The internal structure of the 'Dusk Palace' was complex, and accommodating hundreds of Qiyuezhe in a melee inside was no problem. As for the second area, the terrain there was more complex, and a large number of broken walls and ruins and collapsed stone buildings would form a natural maze.

The Reincarnation Paradise side was the defending side, responsible for guarding the 【World Core】. The Apocalypse Paradise side was the attacking side; they were here to snatch the 【World Source】.

Three hours later, Su Xiao simulated the internal structure of the 'Dusk Palace' into a sketch.

There were many rooms on the first to third floors of the 'Dusk Palace', and these rooms were connected by doors. Entering these rooms rashly, whether one could come out was a big problem.

The fourth to sixth floors were distributed with a large number of corridors and passages, far more complex than the first to third floors.

If the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise broke into the 'Dusk Palace', just find a way to block the other party from entering the seventh floor.

The 'Dusk Palace' had two passages to reach the seventh floor: one was the stone staircase spiraling up in the center, and the other was the staircase leading to the upper floor on each floor.

Judging from the current situation, it was very simple for the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise to reach the seventh floor, whether it was the stone staircase in the center of the Dusk Palace or climbing from the outer wall of the Dusk Palace, they could enter the seventh floor. As for the staircase between each floor, this was the most difficult method; after all, the position of the staircase on each floor was different.

Su Xiao opened the simulation map of the ancient ruins and zoomed in on the Dusk Palace in the center.

"Supreme Palace, Hidden Room, Central Control Mechanism Room?"

Su Xiao noticed a very inconspicuous room on the sixth floor, which was the Central Control Mechanism Room. Guided by the map, he walked quickly toward the Central Control Mechanism Room.

After a while, after circling around until he was a bit dizzy, he arrived at the Central Control Mechanism Room.

Walking into the Central Control Mechanism Room, it was about ten square meters in size. Inside the room was an old-fashioned control console with dozens of metal rods on it. Under each metal rod were ancient characters.

Relying on the temporary skill Common Language Lv. 40, Su Xiao understood these characters. They were written: Mechanism Defense, Temple Sinking, Passage Blockade, Bridge Raising, densely packed with dozens of functions.

Su Xiao touched his chin. He tried to pull down the metal rod above 'Mechanism Defense'.

Kacha.

The metal rod was pulled down, however, nothing happened. This palace was too old, and the mechanisms with strong lethality had long been eroded by time.

Bypassing the 'Temple Sinking' metal rod, Su Xiao began to try to activate mechanisms with defensive capabilities. After he pulled down the metal rod representing 'Passage Blockade', the entire palace shook.

Hong long long.

The stone slab floor began to tremble. Su Xiao rushed out of the Central Control Mechanism Room. Just as he was preparing to go to the seventh floor to check the situation, a stone wall blocked him. He could be certain that this stone wall absolutely did not exist before.

Su Xiao began to explore the changes in the Dusk Palace. After about an hour of observation, Su Xiao showed a look of joy.

After activating the 'Passage Blockade' mechanism, the windows of the Dusk Palace and the spiraling stone staircase in the center were all blocked by layers of stone slabs. Now, if one wanted to reach the seventh floor from the first floor, there was only one way, which was the passage between each floor.

Now, if the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise wanted to reach the seventh floor, they could only kill their way up floor by floor; there was no other shortcut, unless someone could penetrate the wall.

As for forced demolition, stop joking. Using Apollo wouldn't necessarily do it. Even if a nuclear bomb were detonated inside the Dusk Palace, it would at most blow through a few walls. Forced demolition was almost impossible.

Su Xiao returned to the Central Control Mechanism Room. He tried to destroy the control console, however, the control console was extremely difficult to destroy. He slashed with all his might, and at most, he slashed away some rubble. Under the protection of that unknown energy, the difficulty of destroying this place was very high.

Actually, Su Xiao was not completely without methods. If he activated Qing Gang Ying when slashing, it wouldn't take long for the unknown energy inside the palace to be devoured and extinguished a lot. Qing Gang Ying was an energy killer.

But doing so had a hundred harms and no benefits. The Reincarnation Paradise side was the defending side, which meant that the sturdier the Dusk Palace was, the more favorable it was for the Reincarnation Paradise side. If Su Xiao devoured and extinguished too much of that unknown energy, the sturdiness of the entire palace would decrease.

Although he couldn't destroy the control console, Su Xiao had other methods. He first went outside the palace to find a large amount of fine sand, mixed several kinds of alchemy reagents into the fine sand, and poured these fine sands along the gaps before and after the metal rods.

After pouring half a ton of fine sand into the control console, Su Xiao waited quietly for half an hour. The alchemy reagents mixed in the fine sand gradually reacted with the fine sand.

After half an hour passed, the originally loose sand condensed together. Su Xiao tried to push those metal rods.

Kaba, kaba...

A difficult friction sound came. The veins on Su Xiao's hands bulged, but those metal rods remained motionless, seemingly welded shut.

After doing all this, Su Xiao didn't stay idle. He took out several steel wires, several catties of iron beads, and three alchemy bombs.

Twenty minutes later, Su Xiao walked out of the Central Control Mechanism Room slowly. The control room looked completely normal, but it was actually full of murderous intent. If anyone dared to break in here, they would lose half their life even if they didn't die.

After doing all this, Su Xiao found a room at random to wait quietly. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, this dork, was actually much more composed. Before, it was still strolling in the ancient ruins, but now it was just sleeping on the side. What made Su Xiao puzzled was that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, this dork, had its two hind legs clamped tight, seemingly having some nightmare, and whimpering sounds came from its throat from time to time. ===== CHAPTER 821 =====
