After My Favorability Level Is Up to the Top

Chapter 194 - I Know!

Guo Fan's attention was immediately attracted. He walked over and looked curiously at the surface of the water that was approaching the mouth of the pool. He felt that it was like a tap had been turned on, but he didn't know if it was a principle or not.

The pool had long been submerged in thick dust. The water that floated up had a rotten smell, but from the carvings and inscription decorations around the pool, it should have been exquisite and elegant in the past.

It felt like this was some sort of place like the Martial Emperor's private chamber in the past. There was a garden, a pool, and an exquisite white jade palace.

As for the Strange Beast from before, they all seemed to be of a relatively ordinary breed. Perhaps it was originally used as a pet on this island, but it was later used by Hee Junhao and the Puppet Master as experimental materials. That was why they became like this…

But no matter how it was in the past, the entire palace was in ruins, and weeds grew all over it. It did not look like much anymore.

If the exquisite mechanism technique of the Puppet Master could be inherited and popularized to the level of mortals, the current Middle Continent would probably look even better.

Qingfu opened the mechanism beside the pool and fiddled with it a few more times. The water in the pool was released along with the dirt. After it was filled with fresh water, it was much more pleasing to look at.

As the water rippled, the black and smooth stone wall had some patterns. It was as if it was shining and looked very good.

Guo Fan just wanted to tell Qingfu not to play anymore and proper business was more important. He saw Qingfu had a thoughtful look and then looked up and said seriously, “I know!”

What do you know now?

Guo Fan subconsciously wanted to say that. He suddenly remembered that Qingfu was the last creation of the Puppet Master and had been active in the Martial Emperor Tomb all year round. She was very familiar with the mechanisms in the tomb. Perhaps she really knew something.

He swallowed his words and looked at Qingfu, who was touching the wall beside him. Then, he heard a click and a brick on the wall beside him flipped over. A small everlasting lamp was revealed and lit up with a whoosh.

Following that, a circle of lamps in the hall was lit up following Qingfu's movements. This small figure quickly passed by the four walls and opened a mechanism every time it passed by.

Finally, the entire palace was lit up by the faint light of the fire.

“This is… the exact same everlasting light as the place where I met the armor puppet array.” Guo Fan's pupils shrunk. He knew what this thing was.

In the Martial Monarch Cave tomb, most of the mechanisms were controlled by the eternal lamp.

This was because lamps were very common in tombs, and they were the easiest to ignore. Just like before, if the control mechanism was not cut off, it would basically be a dead end.

He took a light breath and muttered in his heart: “Could there be some mechanical puppets here as well? This pile of Strange Beast is already enough. If another robot army comes, will they still live?”

Guo Fan thought about it and felt his scalp go numb.

Dong Yuan and the others also looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. They became alert, not knowing what this everlasting lamp mechanism was used for.

But at least now, the entire hall could be seen clearly.

The pool in the middle reflected the flames, and the surroundings were filled with all kinds of flowers and trees. Not far ahead was a pavilion and a winding corridor, and a red curtain hung around the pavilion's winding corridor. Many puppet parts were placed on the ground, randomly without order. But behind them, it was buried by the earth, and the bricks and tiles collapsed. It seemed to be the main entrance of the hall.

Qingfu turned on the last lamp and said, “This is a defensive formation. Don't be nervous.”

There was no way to not be nervous…

Guo Fan laughed dryly. After she opened all the lamps in a specific order, there were indeed some golden runic patterns on the white jade walls and the pool water in the middle. After extending upwards, the hole on the wall was repaired.

In this place where the Spiritual Energy was completely suppressed, perhaps only the original owner of this place was qualified to use the array formation constructed by the Spiritual Energy.

Privilege was privilege.

If you were suppressed, you could still use it. In this secret realm, if Martial Emperor Hee Junhao still had the Puppet Master, then for intruders, they would not hesitate to control life and death as they wished.

This was the power of the Nine Furnace Divine Weapon.

“Awoo!” Suddenly, from the grass on the left side came a mournful cry.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was the ape monster that had escaped to the bottom. Its body had been pierced by countless sharp spikes, and one of them had pierced through its head. After struggling for a while, it died.

Qingfu nodded and said seriously, “There must not be any unclean garbage here.”

Dong Yuan looked at the exquisite doll like young girl. Under the light of the fire, she did not look like a real person. When he heard those words, he felt a chill run up his spine. He wondered why there were so many ruthless people around Guo Fan.

Guo Fan's facial expression changed, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He naturally knew that Qingfu was probably just used to cleaning and cleaning in the Martial Emperor's tomb…

“Fellow Daoist, cough… This child seems to know a lot about mechanisms?”

Dong Yuan forced a smile and sighed in his heart. Luckily, both parties were cooperating now.

Guo Fan nodded and said in a serious manner, “Since she was young, she admired that Puppet Master and was proficient in mechanisms. Hence, I want to try and see if there is any inheritance of that Puppet Master here.”

“So that's how it is…” Dong Yuan said, “It should be safe for now.”

When he said this, everyone realized that the beast roars from above had become much smaller. It seemed that they could not find the person and temporarily retreated. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Guo Fan mused and said, “It seems like this is the residence of a Martial Emperor. It might be a cave dwelling or something. We have come to the right place.”

He patted the back of the hammer. The Orange Cat let out a meow and jumped down to walk in front. It was still acting as a pathfinder.

……

On the upper floor of the palace, many strange-looking Strange Beast gathered in the passageway, surrounding Pann Xiaoying, whose face was pale and on the verge of collapsing.

Pann Xiaoying trembled as she held her sword, trying her best to move her body that was covered in blood, but there was nothing she could do. Immediately, a look of despair appeared in her eyes.

She had already tried her best to resist, but as expected at the very beginning, she was merely struggling in vain…

Pann Xiaoying's face turned ashen and finally gave up resisting.

But very quickly, she discovered that they were roaring in a low voice but did not show any signs of moving forward. Instead, they opened up a path.

Behind them, heavy footsteps sounded, and a huge half-rotten Strange Beast that looked like a lion or tiger with scales slowly walked over. It had three heads, and six blood-red vertical pupils sized her up. It revealed a strange smile as it spoke in a surprising manner, “A fresh fleshly body…”

When the voices were superimposed, they were like demonic sounds.
