When Chen Mo entered the palace, it happened to be the time when Zhou Mei was shot by a second-layer poisonous arrow and took cover.
Therefore, after entering, he ducked and hid on the beams on the first floor of the palace.
Although ancient buildings, especially those in the Western Regions, all imitate the characteristics of the Central Plains culture, they are not copied entirely. Instead, they have some architectural features unique to the Western Regions, and they also incorporate the characteristics of Dashi architecture. It can be said that architecture The style is rather mixed.
However, no matter how you say it, the interior space of the main hall of the palace is still very high. Especially the current main hall on the first floor should be the first level of protection of the palace, so the building is not only tall, but also very strong.
Therefore, there are many beams in the hall, and there are also many beams on the top.
The place where Chen Mo hid was on the beam after entering.
When he stepped forward, his consciousness also swept over him, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the guy behind the scenes was really wicked.
If he hadn't used his spiritual consciousness to check whether it was safe in advance and discovered some traps and devices that could hurt people, he would have been attacked when he stepped forward.
At each intersection of the beams, there is a copper bell, and on each beam there are thin lines flush with the beams. If someone climbs up the beam, he will touch the thin wire and pull the bell, causing a noise to let everyone know that there is a gentleman on the beam.
And it's not too dark, but there are some thin needles on the beams, which are inserted into the beams one by one. Once they set foot on the beams, they will be pierced.
Those thin needles are stained with rust. After being inserted into the sole of the foot, you will not be able to suffer from tetanus.
Chen Mo put away these fine needles with a wave of his hand. After standing firm on his feet, he took out these fine needles and observed them carefully.
Unexpectedly, although these thin needles have been weathered for a long time, they still have a certain degree of toughness, and even though they are rusty, they do not hinder their function, and the needle tips are still sharp.
I have never seen something like this, it has been thousands of years, and it is still so strong. I finally saw it today. I don’t know what kind of means this ancient city of Xiye uses to preserve these thousand-year-old things so well.
Moreover, after Chen Mo entered Xiye Ancient City, there was basically no damage to the integrity of the building, the wood furniture, various decorations, etc., and it still maintained its original features and authenticity. , making everyone who has experienced it feel indescribably shocked.
Let’s not talk about the characteristics of this ancient city of Xiye, but it is very shocking to say that it has been able to last for thousands of years and its items will not be damaged.
After Chen Mo looked at the thin needle in his hand, he put it into the Qiankun bag again.
It's not the time to do research yet. He is here to be the sixth one and reap benefits from behind these people's backs. If danger occurs, then he must at least avoid it safely.
Looking at the two teams below, which were blocked here, after some discussion, Zhou Mei was arranged to go into battle, which made Chen Mo feel a little proud.
Zhou Mei's strength is already at the peak of the tenth level of acquired cultivation. If there is no chance to break through the innate level, she will always be stuck at this point. Once the later years are wasted, anyone affected by such a situation will basically have no hope of breaking through.
Therefore, if you experience more battles and practice more, you might be able to break through one day.
This is also the reason why several senior officials of the Zhou family and Zhou Ke assigned tasks to Zhou Mei. It's not that he hates Zhou Mei, but he is cultivating Zhou Mei's combat experience.
Watching Zhou Mei come on stage again, and then holding a shield in her hand, she resisted a crossbow arrow. Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh, this little girl is really brave. She is so calm and calm in the face of poisonous arrows, especially the bed crossbow, which shows that she has a very good character.
Some people have cultivated to the tenth level of the acquired world, and their strength is very high, but in actual combat they are terrible. When they encounter a real battle, they may be defeated by warriors who are lower than the tenth level of the acquired world.
While watching Zhou Mei's battle, Chen Mo used his spiritual consciousness to quietly observe some situations on the second floor.
He now uses his spiritual consciousness very cautiously and cautiously. He could have covered a range of thousands of meters, but now he only sways within a radius of tens of meters. Especially now, just wandering within ten meters.
If not, maybe he would have been noticed by Miller and the guy behind the scenes in Xiye Ancient City just after he used his mental power. Even Zhou Ziyun and three other people might have discovered his traces.
After being discovered, there is no way to be the sixth child, and these people may be used together with the guys behind the scenes of Xiye Ancient City to deal with him.
Therefore, if you want to be the sixth person quietly now, you must preserve your strength. You cannot release your spiritual consciousness to reach thousands of meters, but control it within the scope of a few meters around you.
Fortunately, the second floor is already separated by a floor, and it is also a wooden floor.
Scanning with his spiritual consciousness, he discovered part of the secrets on the second floor. It also made Chen Mo admire the guys behind the scenes.
There is a bed crossbow above his position on the second floor. Its operator is neither a living person nor a dead person, but an operator carved from wood.
Of course, the hands, feet, knees, etc. of this kind of wooden operator can all move. As long as someone triggers the mechanism, these wooden operators will start to act according to the predetermined actions.
Moreover, the joints of these wooden figures are all made of metal, so they can be opened without damage.
The bed crossbows are distributed around the entire second floor space, facing outward, with shooting holes through which they can shoot at people outside the building.
As for the inside, there are basically no blind spots, and even the upstairs passages on both sides are key protection positions.
Whether you are coming out of the academy or trying to enter the second floor, you will be targeted by the bed crossbow.
If Zhou Mei's strength hadn't reached the tenth level just now, she might have fallen to these guys' poisonous crossbow arrows.
These crossbows can be called machine men. After thousands of years, it has not been damaged at all, but still maintains the attack it should have.
Chen Mo observed from the shooting power of the bed crossbow, as well as the shooting reaction, etc., that these machine men were really not easy to deal with. Its strength should have reached the fourth to fifth level of acquired strength.
Otherwise, the crossbow arrow would not have completely sunk into the beams and pillars. Therefore, if Zhou Mei did not dodge the shot, she might get stabbed.
It's the kind of candied haws that consists of a hawthorn and skewered by multiple bamboo sticks.
If you want to destroy these bed crossbows on the second floor, you need to get close to the bed crossbows. Moreover, Chen Mo also discovered that each bed crossbow has a defensive formation, and it may take a lot of time to break it open.
Especially now, even if Zhou Mei rushes up, there is no way to dismantle the bed crossbow.
Therefore, Chen Mo could only silently use his spiritual consciousness to control the soul-chasing nails to destroy the protective shields of these bed crossbows.
The protective cover of this kind of bed crossbow is engraved on the bed crossbow. Therefore, as long as the energy supply line is interrupted or connected by using true energy, the protective cover can be destroyed.
"Hey! It's so hard for me, the old man, to do this job." Chen Mo complained while using the Soul Chasing Nail to destroy the protective shields of all the bed crossbows.
For some protective shields on the second floor close to the heads of the two teams, Chen Mo also used his concealment to the extreme. He carefully passed through the beams and pillars and other blocks, ducked forward, and then controlled the soul-chasing nail to destroy the protective shield.
Just when Chen Mo destroyed all the bed crossbow protective covers, Zhou Mei also started to go upstairs for the third time.
Of course, this time she was more prepared, not only thickening her shield, but also holding a weapon in her hand.
After two explorations, I have a general understanding of the distribution of bed crossbows on the second floor, and I have made corresponding countermeasures in my mind.
He ducked forward and when he showed his head, he was shot by the crossbow again, and it was shot from all directions. Any nearby bed crossbow will fire arrows as long as it can aim.
Moreover, the crossbow arrows are fired quite quickly. Each wooden man only makes a few movements without any lag.
Fortunately, Zhou Mei had planned everything. When she stepped forward, she stepped on the beam on the side, dodged the crossbow arrows that shot at her, and jumped onto the beam on the second floor roof.
Then use the beams and beams to avoid the crossbow arrows shooting towards you, without having to worry about the crossbow arrows shooting from behind. He jumped, stepped on the beam and pillar, maximized his speed, and then slashed down with a sharp knife, chopping a bed crossbow into slag.
Of course, other bed crossbows also fired at this time, and the crossbow arrows were like rain, attacking Zhou Mei.
But Zhou Mei did not panic. Instead, she used the beams and pillars to avoid the shooting beams and rushed towards the next bed crossbow. The strength of the tenth level was fully activated the day after tomorrow, making it impossible for those bed crossbows to aim, and the crossbow arrows could not keep up with Zhou Mei's movement speed.
Just as he aimed to shoot, Zhou Mei had already moved away, so every aim was in vain.
Perhaps, the first two surprises could almost hit Zhou Mei. Once she gets used to it, it becomes difficult to hit.
It's not that she hasn't been hit by crossbow arrows. Several times, because there were so many crossbow arrows, there wasn't much room to dodge, so she could only use her shield to block the crossbow arrows.
Moreover, when using a shield to resist crossbow arrows, you also need to have certain skills. That is to tilt the shield at a slight angle, which not only protects yourself, but also prevents the crossbow arrow that hits the shield from directly penetrating the shield, but uses the angle to slide it out sideways.
In this way, the shield in Zhou Mei's hand was already scarred with scratches in various directions, but not a single crossbow arrow penetrated the shield.
The thickened shield was slightly better at resisting crossbow arrows. At least the crossbow arrows that slid out did not shatter the shield.
In fact, if Zhou Ziyun and other three innate masters were to take action, there would be no need to dodge the crossbows like Zhou Mei, who could use the power of heaven and earth to destroy all these bed crossbows with just a few moves.
But now that Zhou Mei must be cultivated at all times, there is no need for Zhou Ziyun and other innate masters to intervene in this kind of action, but to do a good job of observation and rescue.
Zhou Ziyun and the other three people were all staring at the noise on the second floor, which made Chen Mo quietly retreat some distance, fearing that these guys would not be able to deal with the enemy but would discover him. Then when the time comes, the guy hiding in the dark, together with the current warriors and superpowers, will take action against him.
Chen Mo admired how quickly Zhou Mei mastered the attack rhythm against the bed crossbows and destroyed the bed crossbows one by one. He learned quickly and his hands-on ability was not weak. It seemed that if he practiced for a while, he might actually be able to do it. It allows her to advance to the innate realm.
