Chapter 818 - 553: Black History +5
The passage from Room 3 to Room 4 is very safe.
Inside the passage, Li Pu observed Room 4.
Room 4 is undoubtedly the smallest of Rooms 1, 2, 3, and 4, only about 200 square meters.
From the entrance of the passage, one can see the entire Room 4 clearly.
Aside from a plaster statue, there’s nothing else in the room.
"Huh?"
Li Pu raised an eyebrow upon seeing that plaster statue.
He had seen this plaster statue before.
Or rather, something similar.
And it was just recently, more precisely, in the 50th level.
It’s about 3 meters tall, with three pairs of arms, and a head wrapped in a turban.
It was the creature he encountered in the arena.
Since it was husband and wife’s first opponent, and they had instantly defeated it, Li Pu remembers it clearly.
The difference between this plaster statue and that monster is that the plaster statue is white, has a bat head instead of a human head, and is unarmed.
Like that monster, the plaster statue has a strong oppressive aura, even stronger than the one in the arena.
"Another one that can kill in seconds, huh."
Li Pu’s expression worsened.
Even at full power, he wasn’t confident in defeating the arena monster, especially now with the tide turning.
"Let’s take it one step at a time. You can’t clear a level without dying a few times first."
However, he had come to terms with this.
Nevertheless, the current situation was unexpected.
As soon as they stepped into the room, music filled the air.
The music carried an exotic tune.
Although Li Pu wasn’t a music expert, he could still hear what sounded like a flute.
As the music started, the plaster statue immediately activated.
Bang!
In an instant, it leaped in front of them.
[Silence!]
Husband: Master, we’re destined to die again!
"If we’re going to die, so be it. Let’s take a good look around before we do and search for clues."
Li Pu had already started scanning.
[Quiet, quiet!]
Husband complied and widened its eyes.
In the corner of his vision, the plaster statue raised its fist.
But after 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds... the expected punch didn’t land.
"Hmm?"
Li Pu raised his head in confusion and noticed the creature seemed to have no intention of attacking.
The lifted fist was actually... poised gracefully.
Meanwhile, its body began moving to the strange rhythm, quite rhythmically.
[Quiet, quiet!]
Husband: I told you, these stone figures have no brains!
Husband couldn’t understand this behavior at all.
[Curry curry!]
Suddenly, the plaster statue shouted.
Immediately, a flowing, colorful light emanated from its body.
The light was vibrant but not blinding, completely enveloping it without any overflow.
It made the originally plaster statue look like a silhouette filled with multicolored paint.
This peculiarity instantly made Li Pu and husband wary.
They thought the creature was about to unleash a powerful attack.
Yet it didn’t happen; the colorful statue merely performed a wave-like dance move, commonly known as the wave.
As the wave ended, the radiance and colors on its body faded.
"This thing is really strange."
Li Pu observed it for a while, ensuring his safety was not threatened.
The plaster statue seemed only capable of dancing, occasionally turning multicolored all over.
Once it was confirmed harmless, he and husband approached the stone door of Room 5.
[Quiet, quiet quiet!]
Husband: Master, the door won’t open!
Husband flapped its little wings; the sensing area gave no response.
"Similar to Room 2, we probably need to complete a task to open the door."
Li Pu stroked his chin and focused on the area above the stone door.
Room 5’s stone door has a slight difference compared to the previous ones.
Above the door are 5 indentations.
The indentations are hexagon-shaped, reminiscent of engravings, each about palm-sized.
They look like hints, suggesting the need to gather 5 fillers.
"Still can’t figure it out."
He had already scoured the room earlier, without finding even a small rock.
"Could they be in other rooms?"
He considered this possibility.
If searched carefully there, maybe he’d find an answer.
Perhaps there might be hidden compartments or the like.
With this thought, Li Pu returned to Room 3.
He planned to use his dream ability to eliminate Room 3’s main target and then proceed with the search.
Leaving husband in Room 4, he covered his mouth and nose and returned to the main figure in Room 3.
With a thought, he activated his dream ability.
Bam!
A huge walnut fell from the sky, directly smashing the plaster statue of Room 3’s main target into pieces, causing it to fall to the ground.
Even after such an attack, the statue wasn’t destroyed.
Rather, it instantly activated, its eyes glowing red, and firewood in its hands spontaneously ignited.
[Die!]
Although Li Pu wasn’t breathing, he became its target after attacking.
Room 3’s main target raised its big hand, unleashing a fly-swatter move.
Bang!
[You died by crushing]
[Restarting]
"Uh..."
Standing in the starting room, Li Pu felt speechless.
He hadn’t anticipated Room 3’s main target would be so formidable, even his dream ability couldn’t defeat it instantly, and it still retained enough strength to counterattack.
