Magnificent Years

Chapter 165: Use retreat to advance

Views:

Lu Anru had read its introduction in the "Shu Ling Encyclopedia" about the spirit bomb.

There are only two simple sentences describing it in the book, which focus on the body's spiritual power and release ten times the damage.

But the book also records the side effects of this thing. The conductor suffered hundreds of times the damage at the moment of explosion. Even if he is resurrected, he will still have serious sequelae, including tinnitus, headache, nausea, etc., which will last for at least two months.

Lu Anru looked at Bai Xue, and Bai Xue looked troubled. She was also not the person involved.

Ella saw the two people's hesitation, imagined the possibility of the greatest risk, and tried: "Wouldn't the spiritual bomb be the same as the earth bomb? Sometimes it works, and sometimes it fails?"

"No, it is definitely useful, but it has serious side effects." Lu Anru listed the subsequent pain that the book spirits would have to endure.

Ella couldn't bear to hear it and asked Lianhua: "Isn't there anything that can be used as a substitute?"

The corners of Lianhua's mouth slightly raised, and she gave a cold sneer: "You don't think you can defeat the witch simply by breaking through the levels, do you?"

Everyone is silent...

After a moment of hesitation, the villagers arrived, and Bai Xue softly told everyone about the pain they were about to face.

A very soft voice leaves unlimited room for regret and accepts timid decisions at any time.

The villagers listened patiently and carefully, and Zhang Zhang's simple face burst into a happy smile.

Lu Anru thought that they should at least discuss it with each other, but all the book spirits gave similar replies immediately.

"Can."

"I'm OK."

β€œIt’s great to be able to help everyone.”

Ella looked at the stupid happy fools, feeling indescribably blocked in her heart. She nudged Lu Anru with her elbow, indicating that she would tell him more about the horrific consequences.

Lu Anru turned around and left the place where the book spirits gathered, and refuted Ella's proposal with a lonely back.

Ella knew that Lu Anru had a temper and didn't like to interfere in other people's decisions.

She was as indifferent as Lu Anru and didn't mind other people's business, but the blockage in her heart made her a little breathless.

He stopped, turned around and reminded kindly: "Didn't you hear the sequelae clearly?"

The old village chief followed this time and responded as a representative: "Listen carefully, as long as the power is as strong as what Lotus Girl said, let alone let us endure the pain for two months, even half a year, a year, or two years will do. It's far better than Just wait, you may be sucked dry by the witch at any time.”

Ella understood, and Lu Anru had already seen clearly the determination of the villagers.

Lotus took out a thick stack of light yellow talismans and used a cinnabar pen to draw an icon that resembled a coiled python in the center.

After the painting was completed, it was handed over to the village chief, who distributed it one after another.

The villagers who acted as bombs took the talisman, imitated Rosa, and stuck it on their foreheads.

"The spirit bombers roll the talisman into a ball and swallow it whole so that the talisman can absorb the spiritual power in the middle of your body and reach its maximum power when detonated."

Lianhua's tone suddenly became harsh. She stared at a certain villager who was pinching and said in a deep voice: "Follow the rules. We will not be responsible for any accidents that occur due to violations."

The villagers who were watched shivered twice in a row, and had a terrifying illusion that they were chosen by the witch to be sacrificed. Sure enough, powerful characters who can use spells have such a strong aura. He hurriedly put the ball of talisman into his mouth, not daring to mess around with it.

Lu Anru tightened his belt and blocked Yincang, tied his ponytail into a ball, and called by name: "Xiaosheng, Wu Hao, Bai Xue, we will take the lead, and the rest will swim in according to the allocated time and order. The book spirits enter Find a safe place to hide in the forest."

At the command, the four jumped into the lake.

Lu Anru swam in a familiar direction. Halfway through the swim, Wu Hao grabbed her foot and pointed her to the right. He grabbed the waterproof detector with his other hand, and the red light on the right side of the signal line flashed wildly.

Lu Anru's thoughts were confused, and she remembered that the back door of the water prison was clearly the direction she swam in. If the weak energy place is not the back door of the water prison, then where is it

An unprecedented situation occurred. Lu Anru floated in the water and asked Bai Xue new questions with his hands.

Bai Xue just nodded towards her and swam in the direction pointed by Wu Hao without hesitation.

The four people arrived at the corresponding location one after another, and a very similar iron gate appeared in front of everyone. In fact, similarity is not an appropriate word to describe it. The two doors are exactly the same, and even the frames have traces of impact from the monster fish.

She would not question her memory errors, as she was used to witches liking to create false impressions.

Bai Xue carefully explored both sides, gently touched the door lock that required a secret command, and used her mental skills to read out the secret commands commonly used by witches.

Only tried once and the door lock opened.

Things went so smoothly that they just had to carve four words on the door, "This is a trap."

Lu Anru pulled Bai Xue behind her, who was rushing in, and raised her chin towards Sheng Mina.

Sheng Mina clearly sprinkled the awakening powder, although the intermediate auxiliary powder had no effect on high-level book spirit bosses such as witches, and the four of them were in the water.

But, it's better than nothing, at least it can have a psychological effect.

Lu Anru took the lead and swam into the narrow corridor. After swimming for a few seconds, he encountered a dead end.

He patted the wall blocking the road with his hands. The wall didn't move at all, but there was a loud noise behind him and the iron door locked automatically.

The witch used the simplest and stupidest way to trap them in a new cage.

Lu Anru suddenly remembered that she had told Ella, the leader of the second group, and Zhou Sheng, the leader of the third group, about the location of the water prison. If they act according to the original plan, all the hard work and preparation will be in vain.

There is also a very thorny issue. Rosa, who serves as the carrier of the spiritual body door, is the key protection target, and Lu Anru puts her in the second team.

Ella must be reminded immediately!

She turned around and bumped into the stone wall of the corridor. The painful feeling told her that she had lost everything, and there was no way she could turn around.

Reluctance and anger rushed to his head, and he banged the wall with the hilt of his Yincang eagle-headed sword.

Sheng Mina and Wu Hao behind her turned a deaf ear and swung their limbs stupidly, swimming in the middle and keeping a fixed distance from her. They were obviously caught.

Fortunately, Bai Xue was as guarded as she was and didn't touch anything. She even stopped breathing after entering.

Bai Xue's mind was clear and she guessed that Lu Anru was in trouble, but she couldn't guess the specific meaning of each knock.

So Bai Xue used primitive methods. Lu Anru knocked a few times, and then she kicked the iron door a few times.

Lu Anru's anxious and confused mood gradually calmed down as he imitated the voice, and he understood Bai Xue's painstaking efforts. She followed the local method and typed out the password she had set with Ella.

After tapping it five times, I heard a response other than Bai Xue's. The voice was a bit far away, but it was definitely Ella.

Ella told her in a code similar to Morse code: We have encountered a water monster, please hold on.

Lu Anru entered the water five minutes earlier than Ella's team. When Bai Xue opened the door, three humans emerged from the lake and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Although supported by fresh air, nearly another minute passed. Sheng Mina and Wu Hao have never practiced Qigong, and the limit in water is about one minute. However, the two of them were in a psychedelic state, their minds were confused, and their oxygen intake seemed to be reduced.

There was no cramping due to lack of oxygen, which was a blessing in disguise.

The two teammates were not in serious danger for the time being, so Lu Anru hit the wall hard with the hilt of his sword.

In the process of delivering the information, it was discovered that the wall on the left was loose.

Three more times, a large piece of gravel fell. Lu Anru reached out and touched it, feeling desperate. The crack was no bigger than the palm of your hand, and inside the crack was still a stone surface with no gaps.

The result of stubbornly insisting on percussion is obvious. She will be tricked to death by herself and return to reality due to lack of oxygen.

If you understand this point, you will understand a great truth. A wise man said it well, it is also wrong to go down the wrong road.

There is no need to be stubborn. Unless you have trouble with yourself, it is better to retreat instead of making progress.

Knocking out a new code with the hilt of an eagle-headed sword, not long after, the Chinese best friends swam to the door and collaborated with the twin brothers to lure the water monster and forcefully break through the door.

Lu Anru silently apologized to Wu Hao, kicked him on the shoulder a few times, and sped up his exit.

I swung my arms and legs vigorously back to the lake and took a big breath. After adjusting for a moment, I calmed my tense heart and returned to the shore.

Save yourself the trouble of twisting the clothes, find Ella, and get the detonating yellow paper back.

Out of careful consideration, I left the yellow paper with Ella. Facts have proved that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, and people must have the spirit to take risks.

"An Ruru, should we swim to the entrance of the water prison you mentioned this time, or should we go to Wu Haoding's location?"

Ella held a small fire ball to help keep her warm.

Lu Anru tied up her hair again and looked towards the bonfire by the forest.

Lotus sat there casting spells, and Xiao Hong lay beside her. Lotus does not enter the castle with the team, intending to remotely control the teleportation of the book spirit and the frequency of explosions.

Ella loves to worry and had previously advised Lianhua: "At least go deep into the forest with the book spirits and find a safe place."

Lianhua didn't care at all. She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and said calmly: "Witches must stay near the energy spring. I am safe here. You can go."

Ella asked again for the specific reason, but Lianhua pretended to be an old monk in meditation and refused to answer.

"An Ruru, what's your decision?" Ella waved her hand in front of Lu Anru's eyes.

"I'll tell you later." Lu Anru walked to Wu Hao, who had just woken up, and asked for an accurate answer: "Has your detector ever malfunctioned?"

"The last comprehensive test was partially malfunctioning, except for the last two times."

Wu Hao lifted Ella's insect repellent to the tip of his nose and smelled it. The effect was much better than the Healing Society Awakening Powder. As expected, black magic was needed to defeat magic.

Lu Anru waved to the team members and regrouped.

"In one group, I will take Gao Ying, Ella, and Yun Fengmeng to the old place. In April, the second group will take the twin brothers, Rosa, and Wu Hao to the real entrance of the water prison."

Divide the explosive yellow paper in your hand into three parts, two more and one less.

If there are more, he will keep a copy for himself and give a copy to the second group. He warned: "Put it on the water cell door. Wu Hao is responsible for taking a new one to detonate the one on the door."

Wu Hao heard the sacrifice cost of the mission and asked: "Do you want me to leave the detector to you?"

"OK."

Lu Anru took the detector and handed the young man's piece of yellow paper to Meng Meng along with the detector.

Looking at the two people who spend all day together, he commissioned in a deep voice: "The witch's spirit has been greatly damaged and she needs to stay by the magic mirror. The possibility of her leaving the castle is very low, but it is not ruled out that she will jump over the wall in a hurry. Zhou Sheng stood on the lotus Behind him, he noticed something strange and immediately led Lianhua into the forest. Meng Meng stood in front of Lianhua, always observing the detector. If there was any super energy approaching, he would detonate the bomb directly without thinking. "

"Okay, Miss Lu." Meng Meng agreed without hesitation.

Lu Anru hugged the boy who was about the same height as her. Meng Meng was only one year older than Sheng Ming when she entered Yuexiang Intermediate School, and was only a 13-year-old child.

"The process is very painful. You and Wu Hao need to bear the cost of rapid repair by yourself. I will pay for it."

Lu Anru solemnly promised, it seems that this is the only thing he can do to make up for it.

"No, I came here myself and it has nothing to do with you."

As soon as Wu Hao finished expressing his opinion, Meng Meng followed up and said, "Yes, don't worry, Miss Lu. I have a lot of money in my school medical card, which I don't need on weekdays."

Zhou Sheng reacted slowly, reached out to grab the detector that Meng Meng was holding tightly, and shouted: "Give it to me, I will detonate it."

Meng Meng flashed cleverly, ducked out from under Zhou Sheng's arm, ran behind him and joked: "Look how slow your reaction is, your eyes are not very good, don't delay Miss Lu. Don't worry, Lu The girl told Lianhua that the witch will not come out easily. Even if she does come out, I can react quickly and run away in time to avoid getting hurt."

"Don't lie to me, I'll wait for you in the forest." Zhou Sheng insisted on asking for the agreement.

Meng Meng replied: "Yes, it's settled."

After setting up the backup team, Lu Anru pulled Rosa to a place where few people were around and said sternly: "Blow open the water cell door, swim through the dirty bottom of the cell upstream, go to the ground to take a breath of fresh air, and then enter the water and swim to the opposite depth. . Arrive at the second underwater door and start the first teleportation. Bai Xue will open the door for you. Remember to hide behind the book spirits when you enter the hall. The twin brothers are responsible for protecting you. You are not allowed to die before."

"Okay, I will remember everything you arranged." Rosa crossed her hands and clasped them, giving herself the courage to minimize her trembling.

Lu Anru led a group to the lake. Gao Yingping raised her right arm to stop her and asked for something in a low voice: "Give me the yellow paper."

The awkward look made Lu Anru laugh. He knocked down his cold arms and said softly: "You are quite enlightened."

"The money earned from black boxing was originally intended to be used to buy wishing cards. There is no need to buy them now. Why not use them to make quick repairs and protect his beloved girl for His Highness."

Gao Ying did not finish speaking, leaving a trace of dignity for herself.

"You don't need to die, but there will be a fierce battle. You have to go all out." Lu Anru squeezed Gao Ying's shoulders and continued walking sideways into the lake.

Ella followed and asked curiously: "An Ruru, wasn't the corridor sealed last time you went there?"

"I'm betting on something. If the bet is right, our winning rate will increase to more than 90%." The betting witch hid the magic mirror in the place drawn by Wu Hao.

The energy is weak, probably because the magic mirror is the source of the witch's magic power, her spiritual root.

Although she smashed the magic mirror in the illusion, the harmful consequences of the accidental collision point to inference. The magic mirror carries the absorbed spiritual power for the witch and bears the damage from the outside world for the witch.

The reason why the witch was unwilling to leave the castle had nothing to do with recovering from her injuries. She was protecting her injured spiritual roots, which were weak in energy.

This kind of inference is the closest to the facts. Unfortunately, Lu Anru mostly conjectures without any real evidence.

But she was willing to trust her sixth sense and take risks on ridiculous assumptions, thus arranging a battle method of attacking east and west.

"Okay, let's go for it."

Ella and Lu Anru walked through the shallows and jumped into the lake together.

A good best friend is nothing more than that. She doesn't care about the misery of losing in gambling. She will only accompany you and work hard towards success.
