After Favorability Is Maxed Chapter 191 – 191 I Figured It Out!

191 I Figured It Out!

Liu Yuan's attention was immediately attracted. He walked over and looked curiously at the water that was approaching the mouth of the pool. He felt that it was like turning on the tap, but he did not know if it was the same principle.

The pool had long been covered in a thick layer of dust, and the water that floated up had a rotten smell. However, from the carvings and inscriptions around the pool, it should have been an exquisite and elegant appearance in the past.

It felt like a place similar to the Martial Emperor's private chamber. There was a garden and a pool. It was a beautiful white jade palace.

As for the exotic beasts that had appeared before, they seemed to be of a rather ordinary breed. Perhaps they were originally raised on the island as pets, but were later used by He Junhao and the Puppeteer as experimental materials, which was why they became like this.

However, no matter how it was in the past, the entire palace was now in ruins and overgrown with weeds. It did not look very good.

If the Puppeteer's exquisite mechanical skills could be passed down and spread to the mortal level, Central Plains would probably be in a better state.

Hong Luan opened and closed the mechanism beside the pool a few more times. The dirty water in the pool was released, and after it was filled with fresh water, it looked much more pleasing to the eye.

As the water rippled, the black and smooth stone wall had some patterns on it, as if it was shining, which was very beautiful.

Just as Liu Yuan was about to tell Hong Luan to stop playing and that business was more important, he saw Hong Luan reveal a contemplative expression before raising her head and saying seriously, “I figured it out!”

What did you figure out?

Liu Yuan wanted to say that subconsciously, but he suddenly remembered that since Hong Luan was the last work of the Puppeteer and had been active in the tomb of the Martial Emperor all year round, she should be very familiar with the mechanisms in the tomb. Perhaps she might know something.

He swallowed his words and watched as Hong Luan groped around the wall for a while. Then, he heard a click. A brick on the wall flipped over, revealing a small eternal lamp. It was lit up in an instant.

Then, a circle of lights in the hall lit up as Hong Luan moved. The little puppet quickly swept across the four walls, and a mechanism was activated with every step she passed.

In the end, the entire palace was illuminated by the faint fire.

this is the same eternal lamp that he had seen at the Armored Puppet Formation. Liu Yuan's pupils shrank. He knew what this was.

Most of the mechanisms in the Martial Emperor Tomb were controlled by the eternal flame.

This was because lights were very common in tombs and were the easiest to ignore. Like before, if the control mechanism was not cut off, it was basically a dead end.

He took a light breath and muttered in his heart, “There shouldn't be any mechanical puppets here, right? This bunch of ultrbeasts is already hard enough. With the addition of this robot army, isn't it too much?”

Liu Yuan felt his scalp go numb just thinking about it.

Tang Yuanhua and the others were also stunned by this scene. They were on their guard, not knowing what the mechanism of the eternal flame was for.

But at least the whole hall was illuminated and could clearly be seen now.

The pool in the center reflected the flames, and there were all kinds of flowers and trees around. Not far ahead was a pavilion and a corridor. Red gauze curtains hung around the pavilion and corridor, and many puppet parts were placed on the ground in a mess. However, the back was buried in soil, and the bricks and tiles had collapsed. It seemed to be the main entrance of the hall.

Hong Luan turned on the last eternal flame and said, “This is a defensive formation. Don't be nervous.”

There was no way he would not be nervous…

Liu Yuan laughed dryly. After she turned on all the eternal lamps in a specific order, some golden rune-like patterns appeared on the surrounding white jade walls and the pool water in the center. They extended upwards and filled and repaired the holes in the walls.

In this place where spiritual energy was completely suppressed, perhaps only the original owner of this place was qualified to use an array constructed with spiritual energy.

Privileges were privileges.

I can still use it even if I suppress you. In this Secret Realm, if Martial Emperor He Junhao and the Puppeteer were still around, they would be like Gods to the intruders. They would be able to control the intruders' lives at will.

This was the power of the divine weapon, the Nine Cauldrons of the Martial Dao.

“Owwuuu!” Suddenly, a mournful wail came from the bushes on the left. It was extremely mournful.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the ape monster that had escaped to the bottom. Its body had been pierced by countless sharp spikes, one of which went through its head. It struggled for a while before dying.

Hong Luan nodded and said seriously, “There can't be any unclean garbage here.”

Tang Yuanhua looked at the girl who was as delicate as a doll. Under the light of the fire, her face did not look like a real person's. When he heard her words, he felt a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself, ‘Why are all the people around Liu Yuan so vicious?'

Liu Yuan's expression was subtle, and his mouth twitched.

He naturally knew that Hong Luan was probably just used to cleaning the Martial Emperor's Tomb.

“Fellow Daoist, your… Ahem ahem… Seems to be very familiar with the art of mechanical engineering?”

Tang Yuanhua forced a smile, sighing in his heart that it was fortunate that they were now in a cooperative relationship.

Liu Yuan nodded and said in all seriousness, “She has been worshipping the Puppeteer since she was young, and is proficient in the art of engineering. So she wants to try to find out if the inheritance of that Puppeteer is here.”

“I see.” Tang Yuanhua said, “We should be safe for now.”

As soon as he said that, everyone realized that the roars from the beasts above had become much softer. It seemed that they could not find them and had temporarily retreated. They immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Liu Yuan muttered, “From the looks of it, this seems to be the residence of a Martial Emperor. It could be a cave or something. We've come to the right place.”

He patted Chuichui's back. The orange cat meowed and jumped down to walk in front, still playing the role of a pathfinder.

On the upper level of the palace, many strange-looking strange beasts had gathered in the passageway. They surrounded the pale-faced Pang Ying, who was on the verge of collapse.

Pang Ying trembled as she held onto her longsword. She desperately tried to move her bloodied body, but there was no way to do so. Her eyes immediately revealed a look of despair.

She was already resisting with all her might, but as she had expected, it was just a futile struggle.

Pang Ying's face was ashen as she finally gave up on resisting.

However, she soon found that they were roaring softly, but they had no intention of moving forward. Instead, they made way for her.

Behind her, heavy footsteps sounded. A huge half-rotten strange beast that looked like a lion and a tiger but had scales on its body slowly walked over. It had three heads, and six blood-red vertical pupils looked at her. It revealed a strange smile and said in the human language, “Fresh meat…”

The sounds overlapped, like a demonic sound.
