My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 31 Greatly Increased Strength

The scenery in front of me became clear.

Li Jiuhe rubbed his shoulders and arms, feeling like his whole body was falling apart.

Just before the mission reset, he was hit by the weight that could change direction at will, but the result was not that he was instantly crushed into mincemeat as at the beginning. Instead, he managed to block it with his hand.

Not only that, while blocking, he also used his forward speed and skillful movement to dissipate some of the weight's force.

However, the weight itself was very heavy, and with the strange power of the stone man, even though his strength had become great and he had relieved some of the weight, he was still firmly pressed down by the weight.

Although he wouldn't immediately turn into mincemeat, he heard all his bones shatter, making a sound like popping beans.

The broken bones punctured internal organs, causing death and triggering a mission reset.

This time, Li Jiuhe is not going to continue with this mission.

Because he couldn't find anything to put on the scales along with the weight.

He searched every corner of the morning hall and all the Buddha statues enshrined there, and found that everything was normal, with no object comparable to the weight of the weight.

Therefore, the answer may need to be considered in conjunction with the adjacent Dark Palace, since these two palaces complement each other and seem indispensable in this alternate dimension.

Li Jiuhe planned to wait until the two main halls were in transition before going to the Dark Hall to unlock the chains on the last Buddha statue.

They waited until nightfall, until the twilight palace appeared and the morning palace became dim.

After stepping into the dark hall, he rushed to the front of the last Buddha statue, which was much larger than the others, and lifted it up with all his might.

First, pull out the chains that are pressing down on the base of the Buddha statue, and then begin to untie the chains on its body.

The stone figure approached rapidly, and when it was still some distance away, it hurled the chains at Li Jiuhe.

Li Jiuhe moved swiftly and nimbly, dodging the attack. After untying the chains on the Buddha three more times, he was unfortunately struck on the back by the stone man's chains.

Although he didn't die on the spot, it made him feel very uncomfortable and severely limited his mobility.

So he simply reset the task.

After resting for a while, we continued into the Dark Hall. Because the last Buddha statue was larger and had more chains on its body than the previous ones, it was the most difficult to dismantle.

He was hit by the stone golem again and injured, but he did not die on the spot, so he reset the mission again.

After repeating this process five times, they finally removed all the chains from the last Buddha statue without getting injured.

The speed and sensitivity were boosted once again the moment it was removed.

whoosh-

Li Jiuhe felt as if his legs were equipped with springs, and he shot out, easily dodging the stone man's attack.

Moreover, at this moment he could clearly see the stone man's every move in the dark palace, and see every running and attacking action of the opponent.

With a slight acceleration, one can steadily maintain a 20-meter distance from the stone figure, preventing it from catching up.

As for the attacks thrown by the opponent with chains, Li Jiuhe only needs to slightly turn to the side and use his footwork to perfectly dodge them.

At this point, he knew that the stone man could no longer harm him.

With his increased speed, he used the gaps in his running and dodging to transport the three black iron chains he had taken off one by one to the entrance of the Hall of Darkness.

Standing inside the threshold of the main hall, throw the three locks together outside the door.

The lightest of the three chains weighed tens of kilograms, while the heaviest weighed hundreds of kilograms. However, in Li Jiuhe's hands, they were tossed around like toys.

After transporting the chains out, he continued to play hide-and-seek with the stone man for the rest of the time.

Only when the sound of the millstone began to echo and the morning and evening halls began to switch places did he step out of the main hall.

He looked breathlessly at the motionless stone figure inside the dark hall.

My gaze was fixed on the chains wrapped around the stone figure.

After the morning hall stabilized, Li Jiuhe moved the black iron chains from the three Buddha statues to the balance scale and restarted the mission.

He then moved all the chains to one end of the balance scale and placed the weight on the other end.

The scales begin to tilt, moving closer to the center where they are more balanced.

The scales stopped shortly afterward, and as Li Jiuhe had guessed, the weight was indeed heavier. The difference in weight between the two should only be the chain on the stone figure in the dark palace.

With a cold snort, the three-meter-tall stone figure came to life, grabbed the weight from the scales, and threw it at Li Jiuhe.

Li Jiuhe was prepared and began running and dodging in the main hall.

He already knew that the weight could change direction midway, so he deliberately used the weight's attacks to practice his dodging and movement skills.

Moreover, when there is no way to avoid it, one can practice how to deflect the force the moment the weight hits them.

To him, the weight was like an incredibly strong and agile giant, teaching him step by step how to fight him in close combat.

Li Jiuhe practiced dying and starting over again and again.

Anyway, there is no time limit in this alternate dimension; it's just that day and night keep alternating.

As long as he resets enough points, he can keep practicing.

In the blink of an eye, the morning palace darkened, and the evening palace appeared.

Li Jiuhe entered the dark hall and tried to take the chain off the stone figure, but the process was extremely difficult.

He died several more times.

Then, as dawn broke, he moved to the dark palace and practiced how to resist and deflect force by dodging weights.

Then they entered the dark hall and snatched the chains off the stone figure.

He had tried to fight the stone man in the dark palace directly, but found that he was no match for the stone man at all. So he could only rely on strength, speed and dexterity to snatch the chain wrapped around the stone man.

Li Jiuhe had lost count of how many times he had tried. He only felt that the stone figures in the Morning Palace posed less and less of a threat to his weight attacks, and sometimes he could even hold out until the Morning Palace transition ended.

They also became increasingly adept at confronting the stone figures in the dark palace and seizing the chains.

Several times they almost managed to snatch it, managing to unlock most of the chains from the stone man.

Another day and night passed.

With a clatter, a black iron chain was thrown out of the dark hall by Li Jiuhe.

Turning his head, he saw that the stone figure whose chains had been stolen was now completely still and no longer launching any attacks against him.

"It's a success!"

Li Jiuhe was thrilled.

After the sound of the millstone began to sound, he stepped out of the dark hall and dragged the last chain to the front of the morning hall to wait.

At the same time, the rewards for completing the Dark Palace quest appeared before my eyes.

The total task duration reached one and a half hours, and the number of time anchor points reset accumulated to 3.

"It's almost over! Once the rules in these two halls are broken, I should be able to get out soon."

Having not seen anyone else for a long time, Li Jiuhe has been encouraging himself by talking to himself during this period.

Upon arriving at the scales, we first set up the tasks as usual.

Then he placed the four chains on one end of the tray and picked up the weight and placed it on the other end.

The scales began to tilt and balance. Li Jiuhe took two steps back, his eyes wide open, watching closely to see if the two ends could be balanced.

Sure enough, the scales came to a steady stop at the midline at a certain moment, and then clicked.

He immediately looked at the three-meter-tall stone figure, but it had not come back to life.

This means that the weights on both sides of the balance are equal!

Li Jiuhe was overjoyed.

Just then, a loud crack was heard, and the bronze balance scales broke in the middle right before his eyes, as if they were simply unable to bear the weight of the two trays.
