Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 662
Chapter 662 Mechanical Trap Dispatch
Seeing the five-meter-long mechanism in front of him, Xu You knew that the road ahead was not easy. The mechanism would be displayed in advance without triggering it, and it would continue to exist. All Xu You could do was to forcefully rush over.
“I haven’t seen such a mechanism for a long time. This time, I experienced it in a virtual game. It’s really exciting.” Xu You’s heartbeat was much faster than before. This was a sign of excitement and excitement.
In the past, Xu You was a typical quest player, and it was common for him to encounter traps. But in the past, in the era of online games, breaking into these traps depended on the player’s ability to manipulate the characters. Now, it depended on his own reaction and ability to move.
As for Xu You, he was quite fond of trespassing on these mechanisms. However, this was the first time in the New World, so Xu You wasn’t 100% confident. Controlling a character in a computer game was completely different from controlling his body in a virtual game. However, it was precisely because it was difficult that it was fun!
‘”The time it takes for the spike to stretch and shrink is about 0.5 seconds, so I need to pass through this 5-meter area within 1 second … no, within 0.8 seconds to be safe. Hah, isn’t this a test of my mobility?” Xu You watched as the mechanism repeatedly circulated several times, and then came to a conclusion, testing the speed of movement? It’s not hard.
Xu You’s initial movement speed was 3 meters per second, [Divine Speed Halo] ‘s bonus was 2 meters per second. When Xu You reached LV65, [Heart of the Halo] automatically leveled up to LV11, increasing the halo’s effect by 50%. After Xu You activated the [Divine Speed Halo], his movement speed would reach 6 meters per second. In theory, Xu You could advance 4.8 meters per second. It seemed impossible to safely pass through this 5 meter passage.
At this moment, someone asked, Didn’t Xu You rise to LV70? Could it be that Level 70 [Halo’s Heart] did not automatically level up? If it rose, it should be able to safely pass? However, the answer was no. Since Level 70 [Halo’s Heart] needed to be tested before it could be learned, so would [Halo’s Heart]. If Xu You failed this test, [Halo’s Heart] would probably not be able to reach the final level.
However, this did not mean that Xu You would not be able to pass this mechanism, because he still had the [Gale Steps] skill!
However, when he was in the Gale Steps state, his movement speed was too fast. Xu You was afraid that he would run too fast and directly run into the next trap. Therefore, Xu You only needed to use a bottle of economical “accelerating potion” to easily and safely pass through the 5-meter-long spike mechanism.
After passing, the five-meter-long mechanism stopped working. Of course, Xu You did not turn around to look. He only judged by his voice. However, after passing the first small “test”, he was thinking about how the knights without the “divine speed halo” would get over. Even with the “accelerating potion”, their speed was not enough to run five meters in 0.8 seconds.
After thinking for a while, Xu You felt that it was useless for him to do so. How could others pass the test have anything to do with him? Furthermore, the ones who came here to undergo the test were all halo knights. All halo knights would have a “divine speed halo”. Even if they really didn’t, wouldn’t others have a skill like “Gale Steps”?
However, it wasn’t meaningless to think about this question. At least Xu You now knew that the test of this cave was indeed quite difficult. After all, even after opening the ‘Divine Speed Aura’, he had to rely on other supplementary medicines to pass the first five meters.
But it was still the same sentence, because it was difficult, it was fun!
After passing the stab mechanism, the next mechanism test came out. This mechanism was very similar to the trap in front of him. It was the mechanism of the giant axe. The difference was that the axe mechanism in front would appear when it touched infrared rays. If it didn’t touch it, it would be kept. It was a trap.
And now this one doesn’t trigger the switch, As long as they reach about one meter in front of the mechanism, The mechanism would appear and continue to operate automatically. There were a total of eight axes that were larger than the previous axe trap swinging left and right in front of Xu You, just like a pendulum. There was an axe every few meters in the 10-meter tunnel, so there would naturally be no chance of survival if they were struck by these axes.
Xu You stared at the law of the axe’s swing. If the test was his movement speed, this was the test of his ability to dodge. The axe swung left and right, and when it reached the highest point on both sides, it was the time for Xu You to advance. However, the difficulty of the test was that the axe swung faster. If he was not careful, he might be struck by the axe.
However, this mechanism was not difficult for Xu You. Xu You was very confident in his ability to dodge and react. He only saw the axe swing for more than 10 seconds before he started to move forward.
The first axe easily dodged. Xu You arrived at the narrow area more than a meter between the first and second axes. He couldn’t move around here. If he moved back and forth, he could be cut down. This could be considered a psychological test for the examinees. If he was too nervous, the possibility of mistakes would increase.
However, this wouldn’t happen to Xu You. Eight axes were easily left behind by Xu You. Xu You successfully passed a mechanism that wasn’t easy. In the next half an hour, Xu You successfully passed four mechanisms that tested different abilities and advanced nearly 70 meters.
At this point, Xu You wiped the sweat off his head and sat down to rest. From the 100th meter onwards, his speed slowed down, proving that the difficulty of the test was slowly increasing. However, this was a very normal thing. It was not so easy to complete this mechanical tunnel that was over 500 meters long.
“The mechanism in front is quite simple, but it will be very difficult to reach the back. However, what is curious is that this passageway is all a mechanism? Don’t you even have a monster?” Xu You was gnawing on two loaves of bread as he thought to himself. However, no one would give him an answer to this question.
It was only about 170 meters away from the finish line, but the black door at the finish line was much clearer. This gave Xu You confidence and hope. After walking about two-thirds of the way, he would be able to learn the heaven-defying halo!
This was how Xu You encouraged himself. After quickly nibbling on the bun, Xu You stood up. There’s a 15-meter passage in front of him, The ground was ripped off when he arrived here. It sunk into a pond. However, the water in the pond was black and bubbling continuously. Xu You threw a poor mechanical chick down. In just a second, the chick followed his brothers in front of him. So, this was not a pond of lotus pond water, but a pond of venom.
Obviously, this pond is not for fish farming. If you fall, you must buy insurance. However, the reason why Xu You called this passage a pond is because there are a total of 10 lotus leaves floating on the black venom. Yes, it is a round, green lotus leaf. These lotus leaves are not corroded by the black venom, but are constantly moving on the surface of the water.
“What we need to test this time is our ability to balance” Xu You bitterly smiled. He deeply admired the first generation halo knight, Chris Wang. A single marble tunnel could actually conceal so many different mechanisms. Not to mention the cost, it was already amazing to be able to conceive and construct these mechanisms.
Slightly expressing his admiration, Xu You calmed down and looked at a lotus leaf that was approaching. He glared hard and jumped onto the lotus leaf. Surprisingly, Xu You, who was standing on the lotus leaf, did not sink into the black venom along with the lotus leaf. Instead, he floated firmly on the surface. The lotus leaf continued to move along his own path and carried Xu You along with him.
As the other lotus leaf approached the lotus leaf that Xu You was standing on, Xu You lightly jumped again and jumped onto the lotus leaf. This situation was obvious at a glance. The lotus leaf was the carrier that passed through this “pond”.
Loaded one lotus leaf after another, Xu You slowly arrived at the other side of the “pond”. During this period, he tested Xu You’s balance and eyesight. One had to know that the lotus leaf was not large and could only allow one to stand. If one’s balance was not good, they could easily fall into the venom and be devoured. If one’s eyesight was bad, they would directly jump into the venom.
Fortunately, Xu You’s abilities in this area were outstanding. He jumped around nimbly on the 10 lotus leaves. When Xu You jumped from the last lotus leaf onto the marble floor of the passageway again, the entire “pond” behind him disappeared.
To be honest, Xu You really wanted to turn around and see what was happening behind him. However, the setting of “turning around was equivalent to giving up” made Xu You feel extremely painful. This made him want to look back and see the results of his successful challenge. In fact, it was possible to turn around, but he could not see much just looking back.
However, the changes that followed made Xu You unwilling to look back!
