Chapter 139: Another Dimensional Killing Formation?
After hearing Bai Qi's words, Zhou Yan immediately grabbed Bai Qi by the collar and planned to torture him to extract a confession.
"Zhou Yan, the location of the captured pet is the privacy of every beastmaster. Be careful not to be heard by Song Yao."
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan was immediately shocked and turned around respectfully and said, "Master Bai."
"Second uncle."
Bai Qiucha also bowed when he saw this.
The person who came was the master of the Competition Tower, Bai Tongchen, the younger brother of the legendary Minghuang Bai Heguang.
Bai Tongchen patted Bai Qi's head, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "A few days ago, Mr. Qin asked me to help you pick a good pet. I didn't expect you to make a contract yourself first."
Bai Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you for letting Master Bai to worry about this."
Bai Tongchen waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. There is also a sense of fate between a beastmaster and his pet, and your slime monster has great potential."
The battle between Xiao Yuan and Bai Qi naturally could not be hidden from him, the tower master. He watched almost the entire process, otherwise he would not have appeared here so coincidentally.
Bai Qi said: "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Baita."
"Okay, I have something else to do so I'll leave now. When you have time, come to the Competition Tower to practice more often. You can't become a legendary beastmaster just by studying."
As soon as he said "wow", Bai Tongchen took a step and disappeared on the spot.
"Master Bai, you are so handsome..."
Looking at Bai Tongchen who was quickly going away, Zhou Yan's eyes had completely turned into a loving expression, and he didn't notice the strange appearance of Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha beside him at all.
"A-Cha, has Senior Zhou always been such a fangirl?"
"No, it's just targeting my second uncle."
"Damn, Senior Zhou actually likes older men!"
"Um, I suggest you don't talk about this in person, otherwise..."
"Bai Qi, what did you just say?!"
"Ahem... I didn't say anything just now, it was A-Cha who said it!"
"Bai Qi, you bastard!"
…
"Phew~ I'm saved."
Bai Qi, who had successfully passed the buck, looked at Bai Qiucha who was being chased by Zhou Yan for thousands of miles, and mourned for a few seconds in his heart. Then he planned to enter the competition tower again.
The improvement in the balance scale naturally cannot be retained, but the fire resistance just now obtained in the volcanic field is real.
In other words, as long as this method is used, Bai Qi will not have to worry about the proficiency of Gamma's resistance skills.
"Attention all trainees, attention all trainees, gather in the hall now."
"Attention all trainees, attention all trainees, gather in the hall now."
"Attention all trainees, attention all trainees, gather in the hall now."
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from Bai Qi's student ID card. It was Luo Xiang.
"Training at this time? What is Luo Xiang thinking about?"
Bai Qi was a little confused, and the other trainees had the same expression, while the beastmasters who had also participated in the training or were stationed at the headquarters for many years looked indifferent.
Today's young people have poor psychological quality. They were woken up by Luo Xiang at one or two o'clock in the morning.
But despite all the complaints, whether it was Zhou Yan and Bai Qiucha who were playing a cat-and-mouse game, or Lu Qing and others who were studying hard in their rooms all night, they all came to the assembly hall obediently.
But when everyone arrived, Luo Xiang was still nowhere to be seen.
"Why do I feel like we've been tricked by Luo Xiang again..."
Zhou Yan was very upset. The reason why they had time to go to the Green Dragon Secret Realm a few days ago was because Luo Xiang, who was supposed to be in charge of their theory class, gave each of them a rune dictionary and gave them the name of free study, and then played the disappearing game again.
And now that Luo Xiang hasn't appeared for such a long time, Zhou Yan's intuition tells her that Luo Xiang may have run away again.
"Probably not. With Instructor Luo's personality, if he doesn't want to come, no one will be able to find him."
Lu Qing pushed up her glasses, looked at Bai Qi, and said, "Besides, now that everyone is here, there is no reason for Instructor Luo to continue paddling."
Hearing Lu Qing's words, Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly.
Luo Xiang actually used him as an excuse to slack off. How could this instructor be so unreliable?
"Wow, everyone came so quickly. I guess we can't be late next time."
Just then, Luo Xiang finally arrived.
Sure enough, this guy was late on purpose.
The students were all very upset, but they still kept silent.
Although Luo Xiang does not seem to be very reliable, his strength cannot be faked. They are not qualified to question the behavior of a Xi Ri-level master who may enter the legendary realm at any time.
"Then let's start today's training."
Luo Xiang looked around and suddenly took out a rune dictionary and asked, "By the way, did you bring the dictionary I gave you?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. The rune dictionary was thick and heavy, and the contents in it were enough to blind them, so they basically left it in the dormitory. In addition, Luo Xiang was in a hurry, so who would carry it with them for no reason?
However, Bai Qi and his companions realized something.
"Tsk, then you're on your own."
A trace of regret emerged on Luo Xiang's face. He patted the gate to the secret realm beside him. All the students were immediately enveloped by rays of light and then disappeared on the spot.
…
"Sure enough, this is not an open mission at all, Luo Xiang is basically setting them up for a trap."
Looking at the cube-shaped room he was in and the rune carvings on the walls, Bai Qi roughly guessed Luo Xiang's plan.
"Dear students, the exit of the secret room you are in now is hidden in these runes. As long as you can find the correct rune combination, you can leave the secret room."
"You have one day to crack the code. As for the punishment after the time limit..."
"My personal suggestion is that you guys better not know about this."
"By the way, please don't use brute force to crack it~"
Luo Xiang's voice echoed in the secret room, and except for a few people, most of the students were complaining.
Including the ceiling and the floor, there are six walls in total, and there are 16 runes on each wall, for a total of 96 runes.
Strictly speaking, compared to the dictionary that could be passed down from generation to generation, this number is not that large, but without knowing the number of combinations, the possible combinations of these ninety-six runes are terrifying.
Of course the most important thing is that most of them don’t recognize these runes at all!
"He actually used runes to play the escape room game. Luo Xiang is really..."
Bai Qi squatted down, carefully examined the runes on the soles of his feet, and began to search around.
The entire secret room is divided by square bricks, and each brick is engraved with runes of different attributes. From what Bai Qi saw, there were already three blasting runes and five freezing runes.
According to Luo Xiang, Bai Qi believed that if he casually touched these runes, there was a high probability that the effects of these runes would be triggered.
In a way, this secret room is similar to the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude. As long as you find the safe rune, you can pass it smoothly.
And what they are currently standing on is naturally the safest.
Thanks to the research on runes in recent days, although Bai Qi did not use the rune glasses, he quickly found several runes of the same series. After pressing them, a door immediately appeared in the originally closed rune chamber.
“Easy, easy.”
Bai Qi grinned and strode out of the secret room.
Then, he entered another secret room...
"Why do I have the illusion that I have entered a killing array from another dimension..."
Bai Qi looked at the room in front of him where the density of runes was skyrocketing, then looked at the secret room that had just appeared behind him, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Fortunately, each student was separated, otherwise would human nature have been tested again?
However, the secret room here obviously did not allow Bai Qi to continue observing, and began to slowly close. Bai Qi could only roughly judge the properties of the runes under his feet and stepped into this new secret room.
After making sure that his feet were safe, Bai Qi counted the number of runes around him.
"6*64, so many runes, it's going to kill an illiterate person."
Looking at the secret rooms that had increased dramatically in both number and difficulty, Bai Qi sighed helplessly, and then began to investigate quickly.
Thanks to the tempering of the Rune Cube, Bai Qi's rune reserves were still quite good, so he quickly found a set of safe runes and successfully found the gate.
But after passing through the gate, Bai Qi just sighed helplessly.
It really is an alien-dimensional killing array. I hope it’s not the same as the Rune Cube, and it doesn’t come with upgrades.
…
Bai Qi's figure suddenly appeared in a white space. After seeing the huge cube behind him composed of cubes of the same shape, Bai Qi became more certain of his guess.
The designer of this cubic secret room must be a time traveler and a big fan of horror movies.
"Fortunately, this cubic chamber is only level 4, otherwise I would really be driven crazy."
There are four levels of secret rooms, and the number of runes on the walls increases from 16 to 32, then to 64, and finally to 128.
Both the quantity and quality increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Bai Qi was very sure that if he had not spent a lot of time on the runes, he would never have been able to get out.
"But I didn't expect that I would be the first one to come out. Didn't Old Man Qin say that the special training members attach great importance to this?"
Bai Qi looked at the empty white space around him, complained, and then began to check the surrounding situation.
At this moment, another figure appeared in the secret room.
It was Lu Qing who had an outstanding research on runes.
Relying on her profound attainments in runes, Lu Qing cracked the quadruple secret room almost without stopping. Everyone thought she would be the first, but unexpectedly Bai Qi was even faster than her.
Sure enough, it’s no coincidence that this guy was able to research rune evolution.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing's face darkened. She turned her head away and ignored Bai Qi, leaving Bai Qi with a confused look on his face.
How did he provoke this elder sister again?
Bai Qi scratched his head speechlessly and silently distanced himself from Lu Qing.
If we can't afford to provoke them, can't we just hide away?
Just as the two of them remained silent, another figure appeared in the room.
However, it was not Li Mu and others who they expected, but Zhou Yan.
"Senior Zhou, have you also learned runes?"
Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yan with some surprise. Based on what he knew about Zhou Yan during this period, it would be better to kill her directly than to let her read books. He didn't expect that Zhou Yan had such a high attainment in runes.
"Rune? Why would I learn that if I have nothing else to do?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "I just pressed a few runes and it came out."
Is this okay?
The corner of Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly, and then he stopped talking, squatted in the corner and started drawing circles.
He actually compared his luck with the Emperor of Europe, he just brought shame upon himself.
