It was dark and pitch black again. After entering the Immortal Seeking Cave, the stone door automatically closed, blocking all the light outside. Facing this situation, Xu You was no longer surprised, but his eyes were pitch black. Xu You had to be extremely cautious.

However, with the last bit of light before the stone door closed, Xu You saw something protruding from the wall not far from the stone door on his left. It should be the lighting switch in the cave. In an unknown secret room like this, it was almost impossible to play without lighting. Therefore, Xu You decisively touched it to the left. Indeed, he touched a hemispherical button-like switch.

When he pressed the button, the scenery in front of him finally lit up. This was a passageway that was five to six meters wide and three meters tall. The passageway was very straight and very long. Xu You could vaguely see the black gate at the end of the passageway. Presumably, that was the end point. The end point was about 500 meters away from the entrance where Xu You was.

The exquisite magic lamps were embedded in the ceiling of the passage made of marble, illuminating the entire passage. However, looking around, the passage was empty and there were no obstacles. This made the entire passage look very three-dimensional.

“Nothing seems to exist. What is the test?” Xu You rubbed his chin and muttered. He was a little puzzled in his heart. This passageway was a test. There was no reason for him to not have anything. Could it be that the monsters were all up?

Now that he had entered the cave, Xu You didn’t need to be anxious. Not only that, he had to be slower. This was because there was no second time in this test. If he failed, he would lose the opportunity to learn the halo. Therefore, all Xu You had to do was think twice before taking action.

According to the limited tips given by Dick and Moke, this test was very difficult, so what was the difficulty? Of course, there were other possibilities. However, challenging monsters and mechanisms were the two most likely scenarios in Xu You’s opinion.

“If the monster isn’t hiding, then it’s a mechanism. However …” Xu You’s mind spun rapidly. As he thought, the passageway was empty. The monster either hid or stealthily moved. Stealthily moving would be easy to deal with. If he opened the [Detection Aura], it would be done. If he was hiding in the walls on both sides of the passageway, he would have to be careful.

It wasn’t a monster, but a mechanism. If that was the case, then one had to be even more careful. Xu You had experienced so many hidden scenes and knew how powerful the mechanism was. From a certain perspective, the mechanism was more difficult to deal with than a monster. For example, in the New World, a mechanism firing a poisonous arrow or something like that wouldn’t be able to block it with a battle technique!

Xu You’s most reliable “armor” would lose its effect if he couldn’t use battle techniques to block it. That would greatly affect the test. However, Xu You wasn’t completely helpless against the mechanism. If he couldn’t “block” the mechanism, then he could “dodge” it. As long as he completely dodged the mechanism’s attack, he would be able to escape from its attack range just like the dodging group technique.

The best method was not to activate the mechanism, but when they arrived at an unfamiliar mechanism chamber, this method was practically impossible.

After thinking about all the possibilities, Xu You started to move. The first thing he did was to open the [Detection Aura]. In order to detect stealth monsters and invisible traps, he didn’t discover anything. Then the possibility of stealth monsters and invisible traps was eliminated.

Thus, Xu You took out a strange item from his bag for the next test. Well, it would be more accurate to describe it as “a” because it was a mechanical chicken. After taking it out, Xu You turned the winding on the back of the mechanical chicken’s butt. After tightening it, he put the chicken on the ground. Then, the chicken walked forward with a “giggle”.

“Little Chicken, Little Chicken, quickly use your magic power and let the demons and ghosts here live!” Watching the mechanical chick slowly advance, Xu You muttered to himself like he was chanting a curse.

Obviously, the mechanical chick was the bait that Xu You used to trigger the mechanism or draw out the monster. This was something that Xu You had spent quite a bit of money on looking for Zhang Ping.

Mechanical Chicken (Excellent): Mechanical item, can be used as bait, has a certain mocking function, HP is 5000, can be used after winding, duration is 5 minutes, HP will also disappear after exhaustion.

Since Xu You wanted to hide the scene and accept the test, it was impossible for him not to make preparations. Earlier, Bingying had smashed his head and forced him to rest for a few days, which helped Xu You, allowing him to quietly think about what he needed and have enough time to prepare.

Xu You smiled complacently as he watched the mechanical chicks take the S-shaped route to activate the poisonous arrows, flying axes, and other malicious mechanisms one by one. The preparations were indeed different.

However, the chicks with 5000 HP couldn’t withstand several attacks. Although the chicks were small and the poisonous arrows and axes that were originally used to deal with players couldn’t hit the chicks, some hidden weapons protruding from the ground instead of the wall, such as spikes, could deal damage to the mechanical chicks. As a result, the chicks didn’t walk 15 meters before hanging up.

However, how could Xu You only prepare a mechanical chick? After seeing the first chick’s glorious sacrifice, he took out another chick and allowed it to continue forward. The mechanism triggered in front of him had already lost its effect, so the second chick walked 30 meters away.

At this point, an ordinary person should be moving forward. After the mechanical chick’s probing, there shouldn’t be a mechanism 30 meters ahead. However, Xu You didn’t do so because the chick only probed the ground and didn’t probe the air. If there were triggers such as infrared sensors on both sides of the tunnel, the short chick wouldn’t be able to trigger it.

One had to know that Xu You did not travel back to ancient times. This was a virtual game, and there would also be traps for modern mechanisms. However, the probability of them appearing was lower. At this time, it was always good to be careful.

So how do we trigger the infrared trigger on the wall? Very simple, that was a mechanical bird!

If there were mechanical chicks, there would naturally be mechanical birds. The difference between mechanical chicks and mechanical chicks was that one was walking on the ground and the other was flying in the sky. The other functions and attributes were exactly the same.

Also twisting the clockwork on the bird’s butt, Release your grip after tightening, The mechanical bird spreads its wings like a real bird, However, the mechanical bird only flew back and forth within 15 meters of Xu You. In other words, the bird’s bait test effect could only be effective 15 meters ahead. When the bird did not trigger any mechanism and finally landed on the ground, Xu You could only step forward if he wanted to test 15 meters to 30 meters ahead.

But now, Xu You could safely walk forward 15 meters, because this 15 meters was already detected by the mechanical chick and bird. If there were other mechanisms … Xu You couldn’t do anything about it, could he? We have to move on.

Fortunately, this 15-meter radius was safe. Next, Xu You released another mechanical bird to probe the next 15-meter radius. If Xu You did this, the efficiency of his advance would definitely be affected. However, he was confident that he would be able to move forward like this.

When Xu You advanced to 50 meters in this manner, the triggered mechanism is no longer a concealed weapon, It was a trap. There were many types of traps. For example, there was a small pit on the ground. There were many spikes in the pit. If one fell, one would die. For example, when one stepped on a certain place, several spears would shoot out from both sides of the wall. Those standing there would also die. Only when one loosened their feet and did not step on the switch on the ground would the spear be retracted.

Therefore, these were no longer disposable mechanisms. Instead, they were mechanisms that would be triggered repeatedly upon stepping on the switch. For such mechanisms, it was useless to rely on chickens and birds to trigger them at once. However, Xu You could avoid these mechanisms by remembering where the triggering switches of these mechanisms were.

And the bird did work, Because in one of the passageways, There are several infrared rays that are a meter tall, This infrared ray was the switch that triggered a terrifying axe mechanism. As long as it touched it, five huge axes would suddenly appear on both sides of the passageway in front of and behind the infrared ray. They would cut straight down, and the axe would only be retracted after not touching the infrared ray. If Xu You stood there, he was afraid that he would be cut into pieces.

However, the sacrifice of another bird allowed Xu You to know where the mechanism was. When he was close to where the infrared ray was, he jumped over. Naturally, the terrifying axe mechanism would not be triggered.

Just like that, Xu You smoothly walked 100 meters without encountering any dangers. Of course, Xu You would not naively think that this test was that simple. He had only walked one fifth of the way, and the road ahead was still long!

Sure enough, the next passage, Mechanical chicks and mechanical birds are no longer useful, Because the trap that follows is visible and persistent, When Xu You walked to about 105 meters, a mechanism automatically appeared in a 5-meter-long passage in front of him. Long spikes extended from both the left and right directions at the same time. When the spikes completely extended, this passage was completely sealed off by the spikes. However, once the spikes were fully extended, they immediately retracted. After retracting, they immediately extended and repeated operation.

“The real challenge has only just begun.” Seeing the 5-meter switch, Xu You’s lips curled into an excited smile.
