If Lin Qiye hadn't reacted and moved incredibly fast, the headless man's single strike would have been enough to kill him.
Lin Qiye extended his finger and gently hooked it, causing the two straight swords stuck in the headless man's chest to tremble violently and fly backward. Although the blades had already left hideous wounds on its body, not a single drop of blood spurted out, as if blood did not exist in the first place.
The two straight swords flew back into Lin Qiye's hands, and he landed lightly on the ground without making a sound.
Thump—!
At the same time, the madman Cao Yuan, who had been hammered into another room, suddenly unleashed a surge of black flames and shot out like an arrow, grinning as he swung his sword at the headless man.
After the madman Cao Yuan created an even louder sound, the headless man immediately abandoned his search for Lin Qiye and instead swung his blade at Cao Yuan. The huge decapitation blade clashed with the black flame straight blade once again!
The madman Cao Yuan was sent flying backward again, smashing through another wall!
"Hehehehe..." The madman Cao Yuan was like a tireless beast, being knocked away time and time again, yet he could always grin and strike again!
The headless man could indeed kill other recruits with a single strike, but when faced with [Black King Annihilation], which was clearly beyond his capabilities and extremely dangerous, he was unable to do anything about it for the time being. No, it should be said that without actively creating a big commotion, he would only be rubbed into the ground by the madman Cao Yuan.
Unfortunately, every time the two clashed swords and Cao Yuan was knocked away, the resulting loud noise would temporarily increase the headless man's fighting power, allowing him to beat the crazed Cao Yuan mercilessly. However, it would still take some time to take his life, since Cao Yuan's vitality in this state was even more abnormal than that of a cockroach.
Lin Qiye stood aside like a ghost, silently watching the madman Cao Yuan being brutally beaten to the ground by the headless man, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
If Cao Yuan still had any sense left, stopped his silly grin, and moved more quietly, the headless man would have been dead long ago. Unfortunately…
He suddenly realized that letting Cao Yuan take action back then was a huge mistake.
"Hehehehe..."
The two fought their way through countless rooms. The madman Cao Yuan rose from the ruins once more, swaying as he gripped his straight knife tightly, grinning maliciously as he swung it at the headless man!
Lin Qiye quietly followed beside the two, trying to find a suitable opportunity to strike and kill the headless man in one fell swoop, but he dared not get too close, otherwise he would be drawn into the battle by Cao Yuan, who could not distinguish friend from foe.
At that moment, the surrounding rooms began to move again without warning!
"It's changing again!" Lin Qiye exclaimed in surprise, and quickly rushed towards the room where the two were fighting.
Just as he was about to step inside, the room in front of him suddenly disappeared, replaced by a series of different rooms.
"Kill the damn..." Before Lin Xi Chen could finish her sentence, she had already vanished; it seemed she had teleported much further away than he anticipated, causing him to lose all sense of her aura.
Once the surrounding environment stabilized, Lin Qiye could no longer detect the two figures within the range of his mental perception.
"The second mystery hiding in the building doesn't want us to get involved in their battle..." Lin Qiye quickly understood the reason for this confusion, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Without him lurking nearby, Cao Yuan's chances of winning against the headless man became incredibly slim. Cao Yuan's mental strength was insufficient to sustain his mad state for long, while the headless man could always use the sounds of battle to strengthen himself. If the fight continued, Cao Yuan would inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position.
It seems the second mysterious entity lurking in the shadows is quite intelligent as well…
Lin Qiye hesitated for only a moment before taking a step and quickly moving through the other rooms, his mental energy covering every room around him, trying to find the two people fighting again.
Now that the headless man was being held back by Cao Yuan, he no longer needed to be cautious. He simply increased his speed and charged at full speed. If he had the ability to cause large-scale destruction, he would have already started demolishing the building.
Lin Qiye's figure drifted through room after room, then suddenly he stopped abruptly!
In his mental perception, besides the seemingly endless rooms, something else appeared...
He turned his head and looked at the wall to his right, his gaze seemingly able to pass through it and see beyond the two rooms to the eerie spherical void.
That's right, outside of the two rooms, there are no other rooms, but a spherical cavity in the center that resembles a "fruit pit" and is surrounded by layers of rooms!
Within this void, a silver 3x3 Rubik's Cube floats silently, emitting an eerie light.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly.
A Rubik's Cube floated in the center of this chaotic space; it didn't look normal at all. So, if he wasn't mistaken, that was...
Hidden among these three buildings is the second "Chuan" realm, a mystery.
However, the mysterious appearance was something Lin Qiye never expected. So far, all the mysterious things he had encountered were creatures, and he had never seen one with the shape of an object, especially one with a design that was from the modern era.
Could it be some forbidden object, rather than something "mysterious"?
The thought had just arisen in Lin Qiye's mind when he dismissed it. His mental power could clearly sense that there was a life fluctuation inside the Rubik's Cube, and if it really was a forbidden object, how could it possess such high intelligence?
"Rubik's Cube... I see." Lin Qiye seemed to understand something, and his eyes gradually brightened.
He had figured out the pattern behind the chaotic arrangement of the three buildings....
"A rubik's cube?"
Baili Pangpang was filled with surprise when he heard Azi's telepathic message.
"That's right, the disordered pattern of all the rooms in this building is based on a 'Rubik's Cube'," Azi said confidently. "If you think of each room as a small cube on a Rubik's Cube, then the entire three buildings are actually an irregularly shaped N-order Rubik's Cube. The exact order of the cube changes each time, probably based on the changes of that mysterious will."
"Each instance of spatial distortion can be viewed as an N-order Rubik's Cube being rapidly scrambled, with the positions of the smaller cubes changing at high speed, creating the illusion of being 'unpredictable'. However, by understanding the direction and angle of each rotation of the Rubik's Cube, it is possible to predict its movements."
"In other words, our entire space has become a 'Rubik's Cube,' and that mysterious creature is the 'person' who is playing the 'Rubik's Cube.'"
"I compiled and organized the first thirty-two scrambled diagrams, summarizing the pattern of how it scrambled the Rubik's Cube each time. In other words, starting from the next iteration, I can predict the trajectory of the changes."
Upon hearing Azi's words, everyone in the room became excited. They had been painstakingly analyzing the painting for so long, just waiting for Azi to say these words!
"That's not all," Azi's voice rang out again, "I already know the location of that mysterious hiding place..."
