Doomsday Code

Chapter 823 Cutting Corners

Squidward crawled to the teleportation array, stretched out his tentacles and touched it, saying:

"That's weird, could it be that those guys came back later?"

Squidward rubbed his chin and said.

Hearing his tone, Chen Cheng knew that this dead octopus was indeed hiding a lot of things from him, but these were not important now. What he had to consider now was whether this repaired teleportation array could still be used and where the destination would be after using it.

However, although Chen Cheng has read many magic books and has been exposed to various types of magic, teleportation magic is an extremely advanced magic, and the inheritance of this kind of magic is extremely secretive, so Chen Cheng doesn't know much about it.

However, he still had some basic judgment. At least the magic circle in front of him was a magic circle with a complete magic circuit.

"Don't think too much. My great-grandfather spent so much money and mobilized so much manpower and material resources to support Zhulun. It must not be as simple as Zhulun said.

Now let's consider whether this is a teleportation array and where its destination might be."

After hearing this, the others also nodded.

However, after a while, until the sound of sandworms crashing outside became louder and louder, no one among them continued to speak.

Until Squidward couldn't help it anymore and turned his head to look, he saw Chen Cheng and the other three staring at him with six eyes.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have an answer on my face."

However, Chen Cheng and the others made a drawn-out "hmm" sound.

Squidward still wanted to be tough, but when he heard the banging on the door outside, he had no choice but to be obedient.

Chen Cheng took out several pure magic crystals from the space ring and gave them to Squidward, then made a cheering gesture to him.

As for the hesitation on Squidward's face, the sound of the sword being unsheathed was still very clear.

Squidward placed the magic crystal in his hand on the corner of the teleportation hexagram, then looked at Chen Cheng and the others who had already run away, and cursed them in his heart as a group of heartless people.

Then he gritted his teeth and cut off one of his tentacles.

The next moment, the teleportation array was activated, and with a swish, the tentacle that Squidward had cut off instantly disappeared in front of him.

Chen Cheng and the other two, who had walked a little further away, saw that nothing else happened, so they moved closer.

"How's the situation? Where are your tentacles?"

Squidward twisted his severed tentacle, felt it for a moment, and then said:

"It should be fine, and the transmission distance isn't too far. At least it's still within my perception range."

At this time, the Snow Girl also blinked her eyes and said:

"You'd better hurry up. They've already knocked a hole through the gate. It won't be long before they all get in."

The Snow Girl senses the special ice and snow atmosphere in the environment.

When they came in before, this was a closed system, but now there is a gap, which means that the sandworms are really about to break open the door.

"Oh my god, they must have cut corners. What did I say before? Now I have to bear the consequences."

Hearing Squidward's funny words, Chen Cheng ignored him and took out a few magic crystals and reinserted them. Then he held Squidward in one hand, held the Snow Girl in the other, and took Sheli to the teleportation array.

It was unknown whether the sandworms outside knew that Chen Cheng and the others were going to escape, but the situation outside was like a boiling pot, and countless large sandworms rushed towards the gate.

The fortress gate, which Squidward said was shoddy, ultimately failed to hold and collapsed.

Chen Cheng and his companions saw the gate being knocked down, and then things in front of them changed. They had been teleported out of the fortress ruins.

However, when Chen Cheng was teleporting, he saw the collapsed fortress gate and couldn't help but feel confused.

Although it was just a quick glance, Chen Cheng's memory was very strong now. He saw that there was no high-tech or other things exposed in the collapsed ruins gate as he had imagined. There was only a steel-like gate and stone.

Maybe it's just like what Squidward said, this fortress was numbered so late, maybe someone embezzled some of the construction funds during its construction, and then built such a poor-looking fortress.

When the light spots in front of Chen Cheng and the others became clear, they found themselves still in that dark underground space.

But this time they arrived at the ruins where they had encountered the sandworms before, with the words "0243rd Company" written on them.

Squidward scratched the ground and used the faint light from the ruins to see the tentacle he had cut off earlier.

Squidward picked up his broken tentacle and reattached it.

He is now extremely unlucky, following a heartless guy, and now he is grateful for saving as much energy as possible.

At this time, Chen Cheng and Sheli looked into the darkness, because they could still hear the restless sounds of the sandworms in the distant fortress ruins.

"Let's go. The wind should have died down. We need to leave here quickly. Those bugs won't be able to find us and will soon disperse. By then, this place will become their lair."

Just as Chen Cheng and the others were about to leave, a look of excitement suddenly appeared on the Snow Girl's pretty face.

"He's back."

Then the Snow Girl immediately ran to the darkness and muttered to herself.

Chen Cheng and Sheli looked at Squidward, because he was the only one here who could understand what the Snow Girl was saying.

Squidward's expression was not very good. Although Chen Cheng thought his expression was not good, he could still see something from his eyes.

"What's wrong? Who is the Snow Girl talking to?"

"Who am I with? It's that... that bug."

Squidward wanted to say "stinky bugs", but when he thought about how these sandworms could actually break open the fortress gate, he immediately swallowed the word "stinky".

There was no way out. Squidward was now in a situation where he lost more than he gained. Not only did he fail to get his power back, he also got beaten up by Chen Cheng several times for nothing.

So he still has to be cowardly when it is time to be cowardly.

When Chen Cheng and the others heard that it was a sandworm, they immediately became alert.

The sandworms that broke open the fortress gate just now not only shocked Squidward, but they were also very surprised.

So this time they dared not underestimate these sandworms.

After waiting for a while, the voice of the Snow Girl stopped, and then she came back jumping.

"He agreed. As long as you pay the magic crystals he promised, he can take us away from here."

Hearing that he was going to ride a bug again, Squidward couldn't help but want to say something, but Chen Cheng frowned first and said:

"Can he be trusted? Will he just take the magic crystal and take us back to his companions?"

Chen Cheng did not dare to underestimate these sandworms. Just because they could receive signals from their own children and fight together, it meant that they also had intelligence, and it was not low.

As for intelligent life, Chen Cheng has always been cautious.
