However, there wasn’t anything dangerous in the gift box. Looking at the peculiar tal piece taken out from the box, Feng Yuan frowned and said,
"This thing, could it be part of a key for so large door?"
Though the dark-golden tal piece in front of him looked like a small slice of pizza, Feng Yuan figured it was originally a tal disc with a design. As for its purpose...
It might just be that there’s a matching slot on so door, and placing the entire piece into it would allow passage. Though theoretically, they could forcefully break the door, but the consequences were unknown.
"That seems likely. Does that an there are other amusent rides we need to challenge? Or are you planning to force your way through?"
Veronia glanced at the darkened Ride the Wind and Waves facility. As they returned, all the neon lights of the Ride the Wind and Waves facility had extinguished, making the entire facility look as if it had been abandoned for a long ti, with even the water channel unknowingly dried up.
Yang Hongzhi took the tal piece to have a look and said,
"The pattern on this seems to correspond to this amusent facility. Are we to continue forward now?"
"What else? It’s obvious this place doesn’t let us go through again."
Glancing at the instantly forsaken amusent facility, Feng Yuan casually said as he left through the exit, the iron door behind him closing swiftly and automatically without wind. At this mont, the group noticed the entrance was already shrouded in mist, with the exit behind starting to emit a faint black mist, clearly indicating that re-entry was not allowed.
At this ti, the mist surrounding them dispersed, and the path they ca along, as well as the colorful stone mosaic path around the Ride the Wind and Waves, once again appeared. At this mont, Feng Yuan looked at everyone and asked,
"Where should we go next? Continue forward or take a look at the carousel?"
If the path they ca on was blocked, there would be nothing to say, but judging by the current situation, it seed unavoidable that they would need to venture to the carousel. Veronia thought for a mont and looked toward the mist-enshrouded Ride the Wind and Waves, saying,
"If we continue forward, what will it be? I rember there weren’t many water-related amusent facilities in the original story."
Xiao Ji guessed Feng Yuan’s purpose in asking. If the front was another water-playing facility, Xiao Ji might not be able to bear it, and since they hadn’t brought dry clothes to change into, with the night deepening and a cold wind blowing, the not-yet-dry clothes were indeed a bit chilly.
"I think continuing forward is better than turning back. In any case, we need to explore both directions thoroughly. Do you think the key is likely to be repeatable or replaceable?"
Najia, sitting on Xiao Hei’s head, said to Feng Yuan. Given the current situation, they indeed needed to walk through the entire amusent park. If they turned back now, would they face the sa choice again after the carousel?
"Another possibility is that the door or chanism requires both paths to be completed simultaneously to unlock."
Recalling sothing, Yang Hongzhi stroke his chin and said that, honestly, this possibility wasn’t non-existent. But if that were the case, it would be troubleso. Based on the pattern of key fragnts, they could roughly estimate that, if divided evenly, they would need to go through at least seven or eight rides to gather the complete key.
If the keys for the two paths are not interchangeable and detouring to Tashimar Fantasy Circus requires both paths to unlock chanisms, they would have to face over a dozen amusent facilities.
"It shouldn’t be that troubleso, right... Oh well, in that case, let’s move forward first. Um, by the way, are you guys hungry?"
Sighing, Feng Yuan said helplessly, then thought of sothing and turned his head to ask Yang Hongzhi and the others, while Yang Hongzhi smiled and said,
"Let’s conserve what we have; we don’t know how long we’ll be here."
Due to being unable to use space equipnt, they hadn’t brought much in terms of supplies. Although they could use their Ultimate Moves to solve most problems, if they squandered them from the beginning and ended up staying here for a long ti, things would get tough later on.
"Ah, it would be great if Nagna were here. Divine Beasts capable of conjuring food out of thin air would be particularly useful at a ti like this."
Turning his back, Feng Yuan said seemingly helplessly. Najia chuckled softly and said,
"If it hears you, it might get angry~"
"I didn’t say anything, but it’d be great if it suddenly appeared after getting angry. Unfortunately, that’s impossible."
Laughing, Feng Yuan didn’t continue the topic. In reality, the Divine Beasts in his party were rely special life-aid assistants. As for other aspects?
It seed unnecessary. In battle, Feng Yuan himself wasn’t lacking in strength. Unfortunately, they could only advance according to the established rules. Thinking about going through so many amusent facilities for that broken key made Feng Yuan a bit upset.
Beautiful flowers covered the hills, and a winding path andered into an S-shape, slowly ascending the hills. Looking at the path that extended the journey several tis over, Feng Yuan complained,
"Why is this place so annoying? I wonder if I could just fly directly up it."
"Hmm?"
Veronia smiled oddly and pointed at a no-fly sign without speaking. Seeing the sign, Feng Yuan was instantly deflated; it seed he had no choice but to climb this long path to reach the Ferris wheel at the top of the slope.
The enormous shrubs blocked their sight, and Feng Yuan couldn’t help but suspect there might be so plant maze here. Fortunately, the shrubs only existed in the plaza at the base of the slope. Although they initially took a few wrong turns, once they successfully embarked on the winding path up, the surrounding view opened up significantly.
"Whew~ I thought there’d be a maze here too; now it seems alright, just a bit tiring..."
Wiping off non-existent sweat, Feng Yuan said as he led the way forward. But it didn’t take long for him to realize sothing wasn’t right. Though the cobblestone path was sowhat uncomfortable on the feet, it obviously wasn’t a conveyor belt. However...
"The road keeps moving backward? Does that an you can’t make it if you’re not fast enough?"
Veronia looked at the steps ahead in surprise and said, after following Feng Yuan for a bit, she noticed sothing was amiss and stood still, watching the scenery around her move past, quickly finding herself back at the starting point of the shrub plaza.
At this mont, Feng Yuan stood still, letting the path bring him back. He looked at the long winding path and suddenly felt a headache; maintaining speed wasn’t difficult. After all, the distance wasn’t exactly short, but he dreaded that the speed requirent might escalate the further they went.
With a turn of the eye, Feng Yuan thought of sothing and ran back onto the path, except this ti, he charged toward the greenery.
"Tsk! I knew it wouldn’t work!"
Just as he was about to leave the cobblestone path, Feng Yuan felt like he hit an invisible wall, seemingly indicating no loophole had been left.
Back at the starting point, Feng Yuan was about to say sothing when he saw Xiao Hei’s eyes brighten. Noticing Feng Yuan’s mischievous gaze, Xiao Hei whimpered, hiding behind Yang Hongzhi to shield itself from those malicious eyes.
"Feng Yuan, Xiao Hei can’t carry anyone right now."
Yang Hongzhi said helplessly, indicating to Xiao Hei not to worry. Looking at Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan spoke,
"Let Xiao Hui give it a try; if this thing keeps demanding increasingly faster speeds as it advances, it might be very passive if enemies appear. Why not..."
"Xiao Hui... Can it manage?"
Looking at the barely two-person-wide cobblestone path, Yang Hongzhi said speechlessly. Xiao Hui was significantly larger than the path, and Yang Hongzhi hadn’t forgotten about Feng Yuan’s collision with the invisible barrier. Did he really want Xiao Hei to break through that air wall?
Though unclear about Feng Yuan’s intention, Yang Hongzhi released Xiao Hui, gave it a few instructions, and tentatively stretched out its hoof. Imdiately upon making contact, the cobblestone path changed dramatically, becoming wider. Yang Hongzhi, surprised, looked at Feng Yuan and asked,
"Did you anticipate this change?"
"No, I just wondered if being oversized might burst through the air wall; if attempted directly, it seed anything could penetrate it."
Tossing out a fireball to watch the flas scorch the greenery, Feng Yuan said helplessly. If not for the Offensive Ultimate Move failing to hit that air wall, he wouldn’t have made such a suggestion. But now, it seed they had managed by accident?
With Xiao Hui carrying everyone, at least if any enemies appeared on the way, they wouldn’t be caught in a flurry.
