The Little King Next Door

Chapter 168 Wang Ye's Hypothesis

Wang Ye and Lei Mu tried twice more, and found that the flying monsters would appear in less than half a minute each time they flew into the air, and their levels were getting higher each time.

When the eighth-level monster appeared, the two obediently fell to the ground, not daring to walk through the air again.

It seems that this city just doesn't allow trainees to take shortcuts, you can go if you want, you have to have that strength.

But walking through the city, there will be countless tests waiting for you.

Wang Ye was stopped again by an old woman in ragged clothes.

The old woman dragged one leg and was blind in one eye. She cried to Wang Ye that a robber broke into her house and not only robbed her of her property, but also hurt her. She hoped that Wang Ye could help her deal with the terrible robber.

Wang Ye refused.

The old woman changed her face and turned into a resentful undead, attacking Wang Ye.

Wang Ye used the newly unlocked move [Yuanqing Liujing] and worked with Lei Mu for a long time before breaking up the wraith.

It's just scattered, not eliminated.

The two ran ahead, and the old woman's wraith was chasing after her. They insisted on helping her deal with the robbers, and they would not be allowed to leave the street unless they helped.

In the back, the gates of the houses on both sides of the street opened one after another, and one after another, grievances floated out, stopping the two of them from leaving.

"I'll ask you one last time, can I help you?" The vengeful spirits floating in the street seemed to make their voices at the same time, and the shouts in unison really hit people's souls.

What else could Wang Ye do?With so many spirits staring at them, where could they go?

The two could only honestly agree to help the old woman solve the robber who broke into her house.

Wang Ye couldn't help complaining to Lei Mu: "With the strength shown by these wraiths now, what robbers can't deal with them, why do they have to find someone to help?"

Lei Mu pushed Wang Ye forward, "Go and see first."

When she arrived at the old woman's house, the old woman's ghost immediately turned into a normal old woman. She opened the bedroom door, pointed to something inside and said, "This is the robber who broke into my house."

Wang Ye and Lei Mu looked over together and saw a square stone man.

The stone man seemed to be very hungry. He was eating everything in the old woman's house.

When the old woman pushed open the bedroom door, the stone man was chewing on a human leg.

The old woman let out a mournful cry: "My poor wife!"

The stone man had already emptied the old woman's house, but it was still very hungry. When it turned its head and saw Wang Ye and Lei Mu, those carved eyes moved flexibly.

The stone man rushed towards Wang Ye and Lei Mu immediately.

Wang Ye quickly grabbed its legs and feet endlessly.

Lei Mu attacked the Golem, trying to stop it from stopping, and tried to communicate with it.

But the stone man seems to have a very low IQ and no interest in communicating, so it just wants to eat.

The old woman cried: "These terrible monsters, as soon as they appear, they eat everything they see, we eat up the whole street! But no matter how we attack them, it is useless."

Wang Ye finally understood why there was a whole street of resentful spirits here, but so many resentful spirits had nothing to do with the murderer.

Because the stone man seems to have no soul, only instinct, worse than a puppet.

However, their bodies are extremely strong, and normal attacks have no effect on them, let alone soul-like undead attacks.

Seeing that the stone man could not communicate, Wang Ye could only cooperate with Lei Mu to destroy it as much as possible.

But Lei Mu's attack, even the most powerful thunder and lightning spells, would leave a burning mark at most when it fell on the stone man, and the stone man was completely painless.

Wang Ye also tried to use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to deal with the stone man.

But the effect is also not good.

I don't know what material this stone man is made of, but it is really hard and tough, with extremely thick skin.

Wang Ye asked Lei Mu to entangle the stone man first, and he circled around the stone man to carefully observe its composition and flaws.

This stone man is not as simple as a few stones spliced ​​together. There is no trace of connection at the joint joints of its body, just like a complete stone carved into a square human shape, but this stone man can kick legs, It can turn its waist while stretching its arms, which proves that it has joints on its body.

It's just that the material of the joints is very special. It looks like a stone on the outside, and its hardness is no less than that of stone, but it also maintains its flexibility.

Suddenly, Wang Ye's eyes fell on the stone man's back, where there were several small potholes, which were dark, as if they had been corroded by something.

Wang Ye immediately asked the old woman who was hiding nearby: "Have you ever attacked this stone man? How did you make those holes in its back?"

The old woman seemed to have been waiting for this question for a long time, and replied almost without a pause: "Oh, those potholes are caused by Uncle Niu next door who used corrosive potions, but the dose is too small and the level is too low. , and did not cause much harm to the robber."

"Do you have the formula for the corrosive potion?" Wang Ye asked quickly.

The old woman lightly said: "It's in the hands of Uncle Niu next door, you have to go find him."

Well, another new topic.

But from the old woman's answer, Wang Ye is basically sure that he wants to solve the stone man, and [-]% of it still depends on the formula of the corrosive potion.

In desperation, Wang Ye could only say hello to Lei Mu, and he went next door to find Uncle Niu.

Lei Mu used a short-range teleport to temporarily get rid of the Golem.

Seeing that there was no target to attack, the stone man stopped and continued to eat the old woman's house.

The old woman howled.

But Wang Ye had already run to Uncle Niu's house next door, and Lei Mu broke his back.

Uncle Niu next door heard about Wang Ye's coming, so he asked Wang Ye to find his little grandson, saying that the robbers came that day, and he could only let the little grandson run out, but he didn't know where the little grandson went.

But Uncle Niu gave Wang Ye a clue, saying that the most likely place for his little grandson to go was the school at the end of their street.

Wang Ye went to the school again, where he met a junior magician. The magician said that if he wanted to know the whereabouts of Uncle Niu's grandson, he had to answer three questions.

After tossing and tossing like this, Wang Ye and Lei Mu were busy all night, but they still haven't finished the topic of this street.

The two people who originally wanted to find food were trapped on this street.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the night came so suddenly.

The surrounding houses all disappeared and turned into graveyards one after another.

But the wraiths blocking the way did not disappear, instead they became more active, all staring at Wang Ye.

There was no escape for the two of them.

Well, it’s not impossible to escape, such as using [Return to the Peach] again, but Wang Ye found that doing the questions on this street is not completely useless. Every time they solve a problem or answer a question correctly, they will get certain rewards .

For example, a piece of ore, a bag of seeds, a new quilt, a child's toy, and spices.There are various rewards.

Sometimes Wang Ye couldn't figure out why the city had to be so complicated. If he just wanted to kill people, he should send monsters to keep chasing them down.

If you want to take the exam, then take the exam well, and there is no need to arrange a bunch of exciting and thrilling pursuits.

"It may be to force out the potential of the trainee." Lei Mu guessed.

"Why do you want to force out the potential of those who have experienced it? Doing City has such kindness to help major magic schools train talents?" Wang Ye was tired and said: "Everything, even charity, has its purpose. .Or for fame, or for profit, or for self-satisfaction."

"The City of Desperate City knows that the owner of the city is not a charity just by looking at its rules. What's more, this city was formerly a city of knowledge, and it will become what it is now. There must be some major changes in this city. But After the accident, the City of Desperation is not dangerous enough to make the magic world shy away, and even the major magic schools regard it as a training place."

Wang Ye's mind was spinning fast, and he always felt that he had to catch something.

"Why, what makes the major magic schools feel at ease? Do you regard the City of Fighting as a safe place to practice?"

"...Rules?" Lei Mu asked.

A flash of light lit up in Wang Ye's mind: "Yes, rules!"

Wang Ye said excitedly: "Although this city is dangerous, all major magic schools know this, and even some school bosses should be very clear about the reason why the city of knowledge has become a city of fighting, but they still let students come here to practice .It is because there are rules here, unshakable rules. And why are these rules established here? This is probably some kind of agreement between the city lord behind the city of fighting and the magic world."

The more Wang Ye said, the more he felt it was possible: "It is very likely that the magic world can't do anything about the city lord who overturned the city of knowledge, and the city lord can't do anything about it. The magic world is unwilling to give up such a city lord. The best learning and experience place where the time flow rate is five times different from that of the outside world, and the city lord here is also very likely to need some...resources from the outside world? Energy?"

"Energy..." Wang Ye dragged out his tone, as if trying to understand something.

Lei Mu asked him with his eyes.

Wang Ye immediately pulled Lei Mu into the worm's nest, not afraid of being spied on that he had a worm's nest.

Ever since he knew that Puppet No. [-] has a secondary space, Wang Ye is not afraid that the insect nest space will be exposed. You have it and I have it. What's so strange?

The resentful spirits outside watched the two disappear and walked around in place, as if they were asking each other something.

More and more resentful spirits gathered, and all the resentful spirits surrounded the place where Wang Ye and Lei Mu had just disappeared, and they did not speak, just surrounded in silence.

Inside the insect nest, Wang Ye turned his head to see this scene abruptly, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

Jin Bao was so frightened that he slipped into Lei Mu's pocket, with Doudou's eyes half hidden, wanting to look but not daring to look.

Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang were bold, lying on the space wall of the insect nest, pointing and poking at the wraiths outside, laughing from time to time.

"What do you want to understand?" Before Lei Mu had time to speak, the Mad Medicine King asked impatiently.

Wang Ye was sorting out his thoughts, and said after a while: "Let's make a hypothesis first. All my speculations are based on the assumption that this hypothesis is established."

"Okay, tell me quickly, don't tease me."

Wang Ye didn't mean to whet his appetite at first, and immediately said: "Although it is not clear what happened in the city of knowledge, but according to some information provided by Lao Yu and Puppet No. 200, we can assume that about [-] years ago, the city of knowledge There is one or a few old monsters in the city who are likely to want to change from humans to gods."

Crazy Medicine King was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

Lei Mu also understood: "You mean that someone secretly kidnapped a peerless genius to study how to transfer the talents and aptitudes of geniuses, and then transferred the talents and aptitudes of multiple geniuses to one person because that person wanted to become a god. ?”

Wang Ye nodded vigorously: "We are in school, and the professor often mentions the history of the magic world, but since the appearance of the gods on Double Moon Star, until now, I have never heard of anyone who has reached the holy level. That is to say , no matter which path you take, reaching the tenth level is the top of the sky. You can become a saint, but you will never become a god. But if someone reaches the holy level, wouldn’t he want to break through? He wouldn’t want to take another step up, Don’t you want to stay young forever, live as long as the sky, and have the same abilities as the legendary gods?”

Mad Yao Wang and Lei Mu took a deep breath together.

Wang Ye looked at Mad Yao Wang: "You said you had reached the holy level when you died, but your lifespan is only three hundred years old, right?"

Crazy Medicine King nodded bitterly, and raised his finger: "Three hundred and three, I've lived a relatively long time."

Wang Ye: "Look, you are a medicine sage, but you can't extend your lifespan. When the time comes, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only leave this world. But did you really want to die like this at that time? ?”

There was a hint of confusion in the mad drug king's eyes: "I don't remember what kind of mood I was in when I died, and I didn't feel much unwillingness. I just felt that time was not enough. But when I found that I could no longer control myself and continue to age, I spent I have been researching life-enhancing potions for a long time. Speaking of which, what I researched in the City of Knowledge were life-enhancing potions and potions for maintaining the status quo.”

As soon as Wang Ye heard what Mad Yao Wang said, he became more convinced of his hypothesis: "From ancient times to the present, I believe that Lao Yu is not the only one who is studying how to prolong his life and state. I think someone must have thought of the crucial One point, that is the root of life extension is to break the shackles of the holy level, rushing from the tenth level to the eleventh level."

The Crazy Drug King clenched his fist, floated twice in place, and stopped: "I didn't think of this before, and I didn't pay attention to it. Now that you reminded me, I realized that I would be invited by the City of Knowledge back then. After I released the youth medicine that can maintain youth for 30 years. After I arrived in the city of knowledge, I actually wanted to study other topics, but for some reason, maybe it was affected by the overall environment, or someone reminded me, so I concentrated on it. Research life-enhancing potions. I remember that another drug king was researching breakthrough potions. But his ability is not as high as mine."

The mad drug king became proud as he spoke: "I have developed a new life-enhancing potion, which can extend the life of a person who has reached the end of his life by another 30 years. It's just that this life-enhancing potion cannot be used repeatedly, but it still adds 30 years of life. Lifespan. After I discovered that it was impossible to make a breakthrough in life-enhancing potions, I decided to concentrate on studying my medicine differentiation skills. I wanted to leave something behind. All knowledge and comprehension were recorded, and after that I left the city of knowledge."

The Crazy Drug King sighed again: "Why didn't I notice it. In fact, there have been clues a long time ago. Why are many professional geniuses concentrated in the city of knowledge? However, there were no long-lived races such as tree-humans, elves, and dragon-humans participating in the city. My era was the craziest time when human races captured long-lived races. Later, they were counterattacked by various long-lived races, and the human race calmed down."
