The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

Shocked, Chu Tianxiao quickly looked at the golden hourglass, only to see that the sand on it was leaking out very quickly, and the volume of the hourglass was many times smaller than the previous level!

"What's going on..."

With such an hourglass and such a flow rate, the golden sand will definitely flow out in less than thirty breaths!

A level with thousands of puzzle pieces and hundreds of fourth-level beasts, but... only gives thirty breaths! ?

How is this possible!

Rustle!

The quicksand is honest. Even if Chu Tianxiao doesn't believe it, the flow rate and sound clearly tell Chu Tianxiao - you only have thirty breaths, oh no...because of Chu Tianxiao's daze, there are only twenty-five breaths left!

There is no time!

Calm down, you must calm down!

In the previous levels, Chu Tianxiao had noticed that as the sand in the hourglass continued to drain, the red line that blocked the beasts would become fainter and fainter... Chu Tianxiao had no doubt that if he did not solve the puzzle within the specified time, these fourth-level beasts would never let him go!

The retreat route has been completely blocked, and even if it is not blocked, it is blocked by the beasts, so there is no retreat! Therefore... Now it is really a critical moment of life and death. The more at this moment, the calmer it is!

Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath, his eyes converged, he stood like an ice sculpture, motionless, but his mind was working rapidly.

"Impossible! It's impossible to complete thousands of puzzle pieces in thirty breaths and break through hundreds of fourth-level beasts!"

"There must be something fishy about these thirty breaths!"

"Could it be that... puzzles are useless at this level? Should I just go straight in?"

"No... No! That would definitely be suicide! Hundreds of fourth-level beasts, if they sneeze at me at the same time, I'll die! It's definitely not like this..."

"So... So, thirty breaths... After all... Wait, thirty breaths is the total time... That is to say, the questioner has taken into account the time I spent thinking..."

"So, the actual time... should be only a few breaths! This level tests a flash of inspiration, a sudden realization! So what needs to be done after the sudden realization must be very simple... Simplify the complex... Could it be!"

Chu Tianxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed the puzzle pieces with both hands, his eyes shuttled through these pieces like lightning, and then at a certain moment, a smile of realization appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"That's it!"

There is a fragment with bright color and easy to identify, but there is no groove on it at all, which means that this piece... is not in the original puzzle at all!

This piece is the clue!

At this time, there are still ten breaths before the sand leaks out, but Chu Tianxiao's heart suddenly sank, and he found something wrong - there is no red line on this piece!

"...I saw in the "Secrets of the Imperial Garden" that the first secret room is extremely difficult, and I didn't believe it. Now it seems that there are pits everywhere... Are they kidding me?"

"No... No! This piece is the most obvious, obviously, this is just a hint..." Chu Tianxiao's mind was working quickly, and he quickly spotted a strange pattern on this piece, and most of the fragments did not have this pattern!

Chu Tianxiao quickly pressed the pattern, and suddenly, a red light emanated from it, and then a few sparse red lights lit up among the thousands of fragments...

There are seven pieces in total, rising slowly!

Chu Tianxiao grabbed it quickly and pieced it together in one breath. It turned out to be a straight and smooth road. Before Chu Tianxiao could think about it, the small puzzle flew up quickly and fell in front of Chu Tianxiao's eyes with a plop. Then it expanded and extended rapidly in one breath, brushing out a smooth road with red light!

All the beasts, all avoided, fearing that they would not be able to dodge in time!

At this time, there are still four breaths before the sand leaks out!

Chu Tianxiao gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely, and his figure swept wildly, the starlight flashed, and the Dragon Escape Body Technique exerted 120% of its power at the critical moment. He rushed out like a cannonball, but such an extremely fast and extraordinary body technique is very easy to be disordered. Chu Tianxiao immediately couldn't control it well, and his body couldn't stop, and he directly hit the iron gate!

At this time, there are still two breaths before the sand leaks out!

The Kangzhuang Road was already unstable, and the beast was ready to move. It showed its greedy fangs to Chu Tianxiao, drooling all over the ground, and its nose was faintly emitting a joyful roar.

"Uh ah!" Chu Tianxiao shouted angrily, not caring about his bruised face. He didn't even get off the iron gate, but directly grabbed the bottom of the slowly rising iron gate with both hands like a king carrying a tripod, and exerted force suddenly!

The ancient body refining technique, nearly the power of the fifth level of marrow washing, exerted its power!

With a click!

The slowly rising iron gate suddenly received external force, and was lifted up quickly in an instant, and passed Chu Tianxiao's head in a flash!

At this time, there was only one breath left before the sand leaked out!

Chu Tianxiao's waist sank, and he didn't care about the weakness of his hands. He directly grabbed the bottom again, and then like an orangutan shuttling through the forest, his body flew and swung directly over!

With a snap, the iron door fell down quickly, stirring up a cloud of dust. The greedy eyes of the fourth-level beast were blocked before they could be restrained. A burst of roars came from behind the door, followed by the crackling sound of banging against the door. But no matter how fiercely they banged, the iron door remained motionless, but there were faint golden lights on it. Every time it floated, the beast outside screamed.

It was unknown how long it took for the noise to gradually subside. Hundreds of fourth-level beasts cried together, as if they were lamenting that the meat they had in their mouths had escaped. The sound was really like the howling of ghosts and wolves, miserable and unbearable.

Chu Tianxiao had experienced ups and downs in a short period of time, and escaped from the tiger's mouth. The previous strong force exhausted all his strength. Seeing that the beasts' screams were shrill but slowly subsided, he felt relieved. As soon as he relaxed his nerves, he collapsed to the ground and gasped for breath...

At this moment, an old and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in the air.

"Congratulations, you have passed the outer secret room and are now opening the inner secret room."

"The force you belong to has advanced one level... The current level is level seven, and the highest level is level twelve."

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao's eyes narrowed: "Oh? The inner secret room?"

Before coming, he knew that the secret room was divided into two parts - the outer room and the inner room. But I still didn't expect that the difficult test just now was just the outer room...

"According to the "Secrets of the Imperial Garden", there is usually only one room in the secret room. If you break through, you can reach the 'pivot of the secret room'. After opening the back door, you can go directly to the main building. If you can grab the 'mark' there first, then you will gain a great advantage in the final battle for the main building..."

"And the key to the 'back door' leading to the main building from the 'pivot of the secret room' is obtained in the secret room, usually in the hands of a 'guardian'... However, not every secret room has it."

"...For some reason, I suddenly felt a sense of fear, as if something was going to happen... Well, I need to solve this matter as soon as possible."

Just as Chu Tianxiao was thinking, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded.

"Hehe, it's interesting...someone can actually break in here..."

There was a chill in the voice, and Chu Tianxiao was startled. Regardless of his exhaustion and excessive brain power consumption, he stood up directly and prepared to fight with a sword.

"Who are you?"
