Chapter 4564: Under the deep pool (14)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The array outside the entrance was used to open the door!
Moreover, before the magic array was truly activated, these array patterns could also gather devil qi, raising the level of the devilic beasts in the deep pool by more than one level. It also played a very good defensive role.
This design…lt was indeed unexpected.
Even Huang Yueli, who was a self-proclaimed master of mechanisms, was deeply inspired.
“The design of this mechanism is too ingenious. However, it can only be done with the help of the treasures in the sect. Because the devil qi condensed by the treasures in the sect was too strong, if we didn’t borrow the array outside, even Moying and I wouldn’t be able to use brute force to break the array, so we could only rely on the mechanism…But we don’t have the key. What should we do?”
Huang Yueli quickly realised where the problem was and her heart instantly became heavy.
The mechanism’s operating principle was too simple, but it was precisely because it was simple that it was even more difficult to crack.
As long as they had the key, they could open it, but they didn’t have the key… “This is troublesome. Where do we find the key now? The only way is to find a way to reverse the shape of the key and the array patterns engraved on it according to the direction in which the array patterns flow. I’ll try my best to replicate the same key…”
However, this was easy to say, but it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
With Huang Yueli’s cultivation base, she could casually find a piece of metal material, no matter what shape she wanted to carve, no matter how complicated the patterns were, it would only take a few breaths to complete.
However, the problem was that just because there were array patterns did not mean that it could be recognized by the energy bar.
The key’s material, weight, formation patterns, spiritual imprint, and so on were all closely related to whether it could open the door.
It was almost impossible to replicate it perfectly.
The problem of the materials alone could not be solved.
But now, she had no better way. She could only try her best.
Fortunately, Huang Yueli had the habit of hoarding materials in the Sky
Phoenix Ring so she took out a few raw gemstones from the space on the spot.
Because this mechanism was discovered in the Devil Clan’s devil ore vein, so Huang Yueli’s first choice of materials was naturally the few pieces of devil ore that she had dug out from the mountain wall earlier.
She frowned and pondered for a while. According to the array patterns on the
outer edge of the circular door, she deduced a few possible key shapes. Using the Strange Fire in her hand, she completed several keys in a dozen breaths.
She did not hesitate at all. She took the keys and stuffed them into the energy tank to test them.
Unfortunately, her luck was really bad. None of these keys could open the door.
However, two of them resonated with the array patterns on the outside, even causing the devil qi in the pool to fluctuate.
However, this little fluctuation didn’t go as Huang Yueli had expected, causing the devil qi to pour into the array. The fluctuation only lasted for a short few breaths before it regained its calmness. The bronze door was still standing quietly on the spot without any changes.
Moreover, although these fluctuations failed to push open the door, they had instead attracted the attention of the Giant Eye Octopus!
This ancient ferocious beast had originally been completely enraged by Li Moying and was embroiled in a fight with him, as it had long forgotten about the main gate that it was guarding.
However, at this moment, it suddenly realized that the situation…. Something was wrong!
