CHAPTER 1562: CHAPTER 1563: BREAKING THROUGH ONE AFTER ANOTHER

"Puzzle? Where is it?"

Dou Yanlan paused, Cotton had been busy for a long time before finally explaining the mechanism of this place. Its tail brushed across the back of Dou Yanlan’s hand, and Cotton meowed, trying to guide the way. However, being unable to open her eyes to see around still caused a significant impact, although Dou Yanlan could guess what the thing was by touch.

After all, there were only slight differences between the gaps and the stones. Even for her, it remained slow and difficult to handle. In desperation, she even started teaching Cotton how to identify these things.

On the other side, Ah Mu communicated briefly with Qi Chen before starting to work. Unlike Cotton, Ah Mu seemed particularly reliable. Although the assistance Qi Chen could provide was far less than Dou Yanlan’s, Ah Mu’s speed in finding those missing parts was much faster than Cotton’s.

In reality, among this group, only the Divine Beasts and Feng Yuan, as well as Wu Dingwu, could easily handle this matter. Whether it was Liao Yu or Huo Feng, neither of them found it as easy, as they couldn’t share perceptions or communicate directly with their Beasts.

However, even so, it didn’t render them completely helpless. After all, even Tan Xueluo had her own responses, not to mention them. It’s impossible for members of the Special Duty Team to be inferior to academy students.

"Is it done?"

With the insertion of the last piece, the entire spherical space hummed. Yet, after waiting for a while without seeing a passage or anything else appear, Feng Yuan felt strange. After waiting for a long time, just as he was considering whether to try an attack, the surrounding walls changed.

A massive flow of energy coursed through the grooves and markings on the spherical walls. The floor of the spherical space sank, and before Feng Yuan could rush into the round passage, a special cylindrical object, filled with markings, rose from that place. The column quickly transformed into a large Mechanical Colossus. Although the Mechanical Colossus only had an upper body, in this relatively small spherical space, it could attack any position.

"Tsk! Xiao Ji!"

Clenching the Greatsword, Feng Yuan charged forward. However, at this moment, a group of small robots flew out from the back of the colossus. Seeing this, Feng Yuan’s expression changed. Although he could handle these things with ease, the same couldn’t be said for Qi Chen and the others.

Xiao Ji flew to Feng Yuan’s front, flapping its wings to unleash wind blades. The surface of these robots wasn’t covered with mirrors, so Xiao Ji’s Ultimate Move wasn’t reflected. Noticing this, Xiao Ji called out to Feng Yuan and charged to attack the small robots.

Understanding Xiao Ji’s intention, Feng Yuan swung the Greatsword, slashing at the colossus. Even though the Greatsword had little effect when striking the metal armor of the colossus, Feng Yuan still didn’t change his approach. Although he didn’t know who was behind this or what they wanted, he didn’t want to reveal too many methods now.

Moreover, he wasn’t completely helpless against this thing. As long as he aimed at the weak points unprotected by armor, even the Greatsword could cause damage.

Like Feng Yuan, Qi Chen was also blindfolded. The surrounding bright light hadn’t disappeared, but his bow and arrows accurately aimed at the distant robots. At this time, his combat intuition provided significant assistance. Just then, a Space Gate opened, and blindfolded Feng Yuan jumped out from it.

"Yo~ Didn’t expect you to be quite impressive~ Too bad no teacher saw it, otherwise, you might have gained some benefits~"

Despite saying this, Feng Yuan still charged with Xiao Ji towards the Mechanical Colossus. At this moment, the Mechanical Colossus raised an Energy Shield, confronting Ah Mu. Rushing forward, Feng Yuan’s first problem was the shield. With it blocking the way, Feng Yuan couldn’t get close to the colossus at all.

Xiao Ji flapped its wings, attempting to unleash an Ultimate Move. However, besides itself and Feng Yuan, Qi Chen and the others were also in this spherical space, so Xiao Ji couldn’t fully unleash its powerful Ultimate Move. As for the Little White Wolf? It was also attacking the shield, but obviously, it wasn’t very effective.

"You go and clear out those robots,"

Feng Yuan instructed Xiao Ji nearby. At this time, Qi Chen’s target suddenly shifted, and Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment. He then discovered that there were unique spherical protruding mechanisms on the surrounding spherical walls. As the arrows struck and destroyed the mechanisms, the shield instantly wavered.

"Truly an enviable talent~"

Even though he said this, Feng Yuan didn’t really seem envious. Qi Chen, puzzled, turned towards the direction of Feng Yuan’s voice and asked,

"What?"

"Your combat intuition just now allowed your attack to accurately hit the mechanism~ Though intuition-based abilities are indeed quite useful."

As he spoke, the Greatsword in Feng Yuan’s hand became a Longbow. Ah Mu blocked attacks for Feng Yuan using vines. After a series of chaotic shots, the colossus’s shield collapsed. At this moment, Qi Chen’s arrows accurately struck a gap unprotected by the external armor at one of the colossus’s joints. After a burst of explosions, the colossus’s left hand was completely unusable.

"Tsk! Stealing my target."

Complaining, Feng Yuan completely ignored that this place was originally Qi Chen’s battle.

Guided by Cotton while constantly dodging the colossus’s attacks, Dou Yanlan appeared somewhat in a difficult situation. Cotton’s interference methods weren’t very useful against the Mechanical Colossus. Although the Little White Wolf continuously attacked the Mechanical Colossus, the opponent kept targeting Dou Yanlan, repeatedly launching attacks on her.

"Haha~ Finally it’s my turn~"

Shouting loudly, Feng Yuan rushed out, slashing the Greatsword towards the Mechanical Colossus’s arm joint. Hearing Feng Yuan’s shout, Dou Yanlan retreated a few steps with Cotton, tentatively asking,

"Who is it?"

"Don’t worry, that guy isn’t that boring to play real and fake games without seeing anything. Hey! Qi Chen, you’ve stolen my target again!"

Even though Qi Chen couldn’t see anything here and had to rely on Ah Mu to lead him, his combat intuition still allowed each of his attacks to accurately hit the colossus’s weak points. Noticing that Dou Yanlan seemed to want to remove the blindfold to look around, Feng Yuan quickly shouted,

"Don’t open your eyes! The bright light hasn’t disappeared yet!"

Compared to Feng Yuan, Qi Chen’s attack power was still much lower. As a result, his attacks could only partially disable the Mechanical Colossus. To completely solve this thing, either Ah Mu or Feng Yuan had to act.

Before long, Feng Yuan resolved the colossus and, without waiting for Dou Yanlan to ask, charged towards the emerging Space Gate.

"Cough, cough! What’s going on in this place?"

Coughing continuously, Feng Yuan said with a hint of frustration. At this time, the spherical space was covered in dust. But due to the impact of the sandstorm, the light in this area was suppressed. Although he sensed with his Divine Sense, Feng Yuan could detect the special adhesive force carried by the tiny particles in the dust, continuously devouring the light.

Looking towards the direction of the sound, Tan Xueluo agilely dodged the colossus’s attack and cautiously approached Feng Yuan. At this time, Feng Yuan, blindfolded, swung the Greatsword and charged, severing the colossus’s arm. Ah Mu and Cotton worked together to eliminate those small robots.

"You’re really impressive."

Walking up to see the cloth tied over Feng Yuan’s head, Tan Xueluo marveled. Feng Yuan scratched his head and laughed,

"You’re not bad either, to think of using the Earth System’s Ultimate Move to weaken the light’s influence."

Even though it was covered in sand, Feng Yuan could still see that the sand couldn’t completely block the view. Tan Xueluo also relied on this to engage in a tactical battle with the Mechanical Colossus. However, this thing would grow stronger as time dragged on, which is why she struggled so much.

Swinging the Greatsword, Feng Yuan took the opportunity when Qi Chen destroyed the mechanisms and the shield collapsed to quickly approach the Mechanical Colossus. Tan Xueluo watched his back in a daze. Perhaps due to his proficiency, Feng Yuan swiftly dealt with the Mechanical Colossus in a few strikes. Seeing the Space Gate opening again, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen and the others,

"I’ll keep pursuing over there, what about you guys?"

"It’s safer to move together; who knows what he’s up to."

Dou Yanlan spoke, immediately following Feng Yuan through the Space Gate once again. At this moment, Liao Yu had just dealt with the Mechanical Colossus. Carrying the Greatsword, Feng Yuan said disappointedly,

"Too late..."

"What do you mean, too late, wait, how come you’re here?!"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s voice, Liao Yu exclaimed in exasperation, but quickly realized. At this moment, Huo Feng spoke upon stepping through the Space Gate, after listening to Ah Wu’s explanation,

"I see, after solving the enemy, we can proceed to where the others are?"

While speaking, Feng Yuan didn’t seem worried. After all, their strength wasn’t weak, and even if anything unexpected happened, Big Cat could protect him.
