Chapter 220 Central Area

"Will the exit be set at the center point or at the end of the mana pattern?" Cao Rui frowned and thought to himself.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be at these two locations. Dougan will go over and take a look." Cao Rui thought.

The puppetry technique and the array are inextricably linked, and they all originate from the basic array runes. As a master of puppetry, Tianjizi must have dabbled in this.

"Tianjizi transformed the Tianji Fortress into this, and he should still prefer that only those who are proficient in arrays can enter and get rewards." Cao Rui shuttled through the mist and had a deeper understanding of Tianjizi's intentions.

After figuring out the principle, Cao Rui had a bottom line in his heart.

He led the other three people to rush to the center point without hesitation.

"Hmm?" Cao Rui frowned slightly.

A puppet's body blocked the way ahead.

No sound, it looked like it had been destroyed.

Cao Rui looked at the puppet lying on the ground not far ahead. The torch in his hand swayed slightly, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

The puppet had been severely damaged, and it was obvious that it had fallen after a fierce battle.

"Who killed this puppet? Gu Qingying or Huiming?" Cao Rui thought to himself.

He approached the puppet carefully and observed it carefully.

Through the analysis of the wounds on the puppet, he found that most of these wounds were sword wounds, and the technique was sharp.

Among their group of people, the only one who held the magic sword and could defeat the puppet was probably Gu Qingying.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui had the answer in his heart: it should be Gu Qingying who killed this puppet.

Cao Rui stood in front of the puppet and carefully observed every detail of it.

This puppet was huge, three meters tall, in human form, with gray skin that was soft and elastic to the touch, but the material was unknown.

He could vaguely perceive traces of magic arrays on the puppet's skin.

The most eye-catching thing is the fatal wound the size of a bowl on its chest. This gap exposes the artificial skeleton structure inside, which emits a faint spiritual light.

From the integrity of the area near this gap, it can be judged that some important items may have been placed here, perhaps the energy center of the puppet.

Cao Rui speculated secretly in his heart.

Cao Rui calculated the timing accurately. When he was sure that there was no other danger around, he quickly seized the opportunity, took out the storage bag, gently waved his arm, and successfully put the puppet body into his bag.

This puppet body is worth studying.

Almost as soon as Cao Rui put away the puppet, puppet phantoms came around.

"It was the mana fluctuation when the storage bag was activated that attracted them."

Cao Rui took a step and took the other three people to pass through the gap between the puppet phantoms.

"Damn it, Yu boy, can you not play so excitingly." Zhang Heng said softly.

"Okay, okay, don't talk. Yu boy has a good idea." Tan Hongmei turned around and said.

Cao Rui held the torch and continued to move forward.

On the way to the center, Cao Rui encountered the bodies of puppets one after another.

Without exception, they all had a piece missing from their chests, and their cores were taken away.

The more puppets were found later, the fewer sword wounds they had on their bodies, and basically only one fatal wound on the chest.

Gu Qingying was really strong. After finding the weakness of the puppets, she was unstoppable.

Cao Rui collected the bodies of the puppets along the way and got a total of six.

He put these puppet bodies into the storage bag and continued to move forward.

The other three people had no complaints about this.

After all, although Zhang Heng was a talkative person, he also knew that if Cao Rui hadn't taken action, they would have no way to deal with this level.

Cao Rui changed direction continuously and finally stepped into the center of the fog.

What appeared in Cao Rui's eyes was a circular area with a diameter of about three meters.

There is no fog in this area.

Zhang Heng stepped into this area, looked up and saw that there was no fog, and couldn't help but said happily: "Is it out?"

"No!" Zhang Heng shook his head and soon found that this was just an enclave wrapped in fog, and they did not walk out of the fog area.

"Yu boy, where is this?"

"This is the central area of ​​the magic circle."

"If this is not the exit, then the exit should be at the end of the magic circle." Cao Rui engraved the shape of the 0-level fog in his mind and spoke softly.

Although they didn't understand what Cao Rui meant, they could hear that Cao Rui had another exit location, and everyone's hearts relaxed.

At this time, a fight sounded outside the enclave.

: Who is it?

Cao Rui went forward with a torch in his hand to check and found that not far away, there were seven or eight puppets besieging a person, and that person was Gu Qingying.

Gu Qingying was now in tattered clothes, with blood all over her body. It was obvious that she had received a lot of damage in the fight with these puppets.

Although he had no good feelings towards Gu Qingying.

At this time, Cao Rui still waved the torch in his hand: "Come here!"

Gu Qingying heard the voice and immediately burst out her magic power to force the puppets back, and then quickly rushed towards Cao Rui.

Those puppets chased at full speed, and with full force, their flying speed was not much slower than Gu Qingying.

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, Gu Qingying got rid of the pursuit of the puppets and rushed into the center.

And those puppets, under the nervous gaze of Zhang Heng and others, after reaching their arms at the edge of the fog for a while, did not leave the fog and rush into this center.

"At this location, the mana pattern will not penetrate when the fog array is activated. This level is arranged according to the fog array, and these puppets will naturally not enter."

"Therefore, this enclave in the fog can be said to be a safe zone." Cao Rui thought.

"Huhu... Where is this?" Gu Qingying panted slightly. She had been fighting with the puppets, and both her body and mana had reached the limit.

The magic sword beside her was also bumped and damaged.

"Master Gu, this is the safe enclave we found. You can rest here with peace of mind. There will be no danger." Zhang Heng squinted and stepped forward to comfort him.

Gu Qingying opened her mouth and swallowed a few pills. She ignored the injuries on her body. She glanced at Zhang Heng, and finally her eyes fell on the torch in Cao Rui's hand.

"I remember this thing was the torch on the wall in the hall at the beginning. Its light can actually penetrate the fog?" Gu Qingying raised her eyebrows and spoke.

She had previously condensed magic and taken out glowing treasures to create light sources, but she couldn't penetrate the fog at all. She was completely blind when walking and fighting in the fog.

But she didn't expect that the torch from the hall in Cao Rui's hand could actually illuminate the fog.

Cao Rui nodded slightly.

"Give me this torch." Gu Qingying stretched out her hand.

Cao Rui smiled. This woman really couldn't see the situation clearly. I don't know how she became the leader of Yunshui Sect.

Cao Rui played the trick: "Senior, I saw a lot of puppet corpses on the road before. The things in the middle of the puppets were taken away by you. Can you give me the things inside? I am willing to exchange them for the torch."
