Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 531 - 306: Death Wooden Man Game_2

Lu Yu looked at the little remaining piece of binding rope in his hand with a bit of helplessness. It seemed there was no way to get the luck card from the wooden figure like this.

Now the only chance was Luo Heng. He was incredibly close to the wooden figure, but he was also the one with the least opportunity.

Because the wooden figure was staring directly at him, if he dared to move a tiny bit, the wooden figure would twist his neck and send him into a death cell.

The destruction of the binding rope affected not Lu Yu the most but Luo Heng. At the moment the binding rope exploded, he almost couldn't control himself.

Lu Yu had sent him to this damned place, and now he could only rely on the binding rope to have a chance to escape from here.

As a result, his only hope was blown up by Lu Yu, and Luo Heng's mentality was on the brink of explosion. Being able to stay calm and still was already very impressive.

Chen Qingyun looked at the small piece of binding rope left in Lu Yu's hand and wisely chose not to speak. He didn't want to provoke Luo Heng, lest he lose control and be eliminated, which would be troublesome.

Lu Yu discarded the ruined binding rope, touched his chin, his eyes gleaming, and said to Luo Heng, "Later on, we will create an opportunity for you, and you must seize it to get the luck card from the wooden figure's chest."

Luo Heng couldn't respond to Lu Yu's words, and Lu Yu assumed he understood, then shared his plan with Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun looked at Lu Yu somewhat uncertainly and asked, "Are you sure this will work?"

"Trust me, it definitely can work. As long as Luo Heng can seize the chance, he can do it."

Lu Yu explained to Chen Qingyun, also informing Luo Heng of his plan. He said, "The structure of the wooden figure is quite similar to a human, and since it's similar, it naturally has blind spots."

"Currently, the wooden figure is staring at Luo Heng, giving him no chance to move. But when someone else enters the red line area, the wooden figure will turn its eyes to look at the other person."

"If you enter the red line directly, given the wooden figure's current state, it is estimated that just stepping out of the red line's area will get you killed by it instantly. So later on, you have to enter the red line area from the wooden figure's blind spot."

"Once inside, freeze instantly. When the wooden figure's eyes turn, it means Luo Heng is in its blind spot, allowing him to use this brief moment to get the luck card from the wooden figure."

"Once the luck card is obtained, this game is cleared, and the wooden figure won't attack us."

After hearing Lu Yu's explanation, Luo Heng simulated it in his mind and found it feasible. As long as he acts during the brief moment the wooden figure turns its eyes, he has enough time to grab the luck card.

After all, now he only needs to reach out to touch the luck card, almost at zero distance.

Lu Yu walked to the edge of the red line near the wall and tapped the ground, saying to Chen Qingyun, "Enter from here, and freeze in place as soon as you step over the red line, until Luo Heng gets the luck card."

"Alright." Chen Qingyun nodded seriously and walked to the position Lu Yu mentioned, finding that the wooden figure indeed couldn't see him. To see him, it would have to turn its eyes.

At this moment, Luo Heng would be ready to act.

"I'm preparing to go in, Luo Heng, be ready," said Chen Qingyun.

Luo Heng: "...", didn't reply.

Chen Qingyun took a deep breath and stepped into the red line area. The moment his toe entered the red line, the wooden figure moved, and Chen Qingyun's foot hung frozen mid-air.

Lu Yu: "..."

Chen Qingyun: "..."

Luo Heng: "..."

"Damn, miscalculated, didn't expect it could do this!" Lu Yu cursed. The wooden figure surprisingly turned only one eye, with one eye staring at Luo Heng and the other at Chen Qingyun.

Now, neither of them could move.

The wooden figure wouldn't adjust its speed based on Chen Qingyun's position; it maintains speed according to Luo Heng's position. So now neither of them should move.

Chen Qingyun was equally overwhelmed internally.

Lu Yu circled the edge of the red line, glanced at the wooden figure, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Damn, I don't believe it has a third eye. I'm going in, Luo Heng, be ready."

"Chen Qingyun, if the eye looking at you looks at me, step forward once it looks at you."

The two did not speak. Lu Yu took a deep breath and leaped with all his might, his hands producing two vacuum-like suction cups that adhered him to the ceiling.

Chen Qingyun saw Lu Yu disappear from his field of view, not knowing where he went, and could only watch the wooden figure's eyes closely.

He was also curious; the two positions he and Luo Heng were in encompassed essentially the whole corridor. How did Lu Yu find a third blind spot?

The answer was above.

The ceiling of the lucky maze was high. Since both Luo Heng and Chen Qingyun were on the ground level, if Lu Yu entered the red line area from the ceiling, the wooden figure had to turn its eyes upward to see him.

In this way, either Chen Qingyun or Luo Heng wouldn't be in its line of sight.

But Lu Yu was concerned if the eye looking at him was the one watching Chen Qingyun. That's why he directed Chen Qingyun to move forward.

If both moved, they would occupy two extreme blind spots in the vision, forcing the wooden figure to adjust to the limit to bring both into its view. That's when Luo Heng would have his chance.

Lu Yu looked at the red line on the ground, tightened his muscles, raised and straightened his legs slowly.

The moment his toe hovered above the red line, the wooden figure moved, the eye on Chen Qingyun rotated upward, looking at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's body instantly froze, forming an "L" shape, suspended in mid-air.

Chen Qingyun moved as the eyeball shifted.

The wooden figure had no choice but to turn the eye watching Luo Heng towards Chen Qingyun.

Snap~ the thin string on the wooden figure's neck snapped, directly torn by Luo Heng. As he pulled, Luo Heng instinctively froze because he couldn't see the wooden figure's eyes from his angle. He didn't know if the wooden figure was watching him.

Clap~ Lu Yu patted Luo Heng's shoulder, saying, "Alright, we cleared it, stop posing as a statue."

Luo Heng suddenly collapsed, sitting on the ground, every muscle in his body feeling like a pile of mush, like a hopeless salted fish unwilling to move anymore.

He looked around, not knowing when the wooden figure disappeared, leaving only the luck card in his hand.

"Ha~ ha~ ha~ I can't do it anymore, let me rest for a bit." He tossed the card to Lu Yu, now just wanting to sleep, easing his overtensioned muscles.

Lu Yu caught the card; it was plain, like a white plastic card with four symbols drawn on it. Without needing Chen Qingyun to decipher, Lu Yu could guess the meaning of these four symbols.

Simply the words: Luck Card.

As soon as the card was in hand, Lu Yu received a system prompt.

[Completed side mission — "Clear the Wooden Figure Death Game", gained 1 million experience and a luck card]

[Domain Battlefield Reputation Reward: Received an additional 800,000 experience points]

Lu Yu checked his reputation, which had exceeded 800 points, and experienced a bonus of 80%. What he hadn't expected was that missions could enjoy this bonus; he thought only defeating monsters granted experience bonuses.

[Luck Card: Lucky Maze exclusive item, generates a random effect upon use]

[Note: If you're lucky enough, you might appear directly at the Lucky Maze's exit!]

Lu Yu didn't use the luck card recklessly, as it was a reward from the three's cooperation. If used, it should be with the agreement of the other two.

Crucially, "randomly generates an effect upon use", randomness often comes with pitfalls, and Lu Yu wasn't overly confident in his luck.

If the random effect was too undesirable, he didn't want to be the one responsible.
