They touched the middle door, and all of them were warped into another stage. Immediately, there were seven large giant golems, each with a differently colored gem on their head.
At first, they just exchanged stares, but the golems then smashed with their giant stone fists. Huang Lu blocked the first stone fist with his muscular heavenly Qi-reinforced arm. The attack was strong, but was well in the 3rd realm.
"These golems are all in the 3rd realm!" Toh Gen charged ahead and attacked. He used a wind Qi slash and slashed through one of the golems. The golems' gem lost its color, and then, like a robot out of power, it froze.
They all continued, but Qian Ziyi struggled the most. She had risen to the middle steps of the 2nd realm, but against these 3rd realm golems, the gap was just too large. They were faster than her, and stronger, so Huang Lu had to play defense with them.
The three others took out the golems one by one, and eventually, all of the gemstones lost their color.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
They heard a sound. "Checking order of completion.... failed. Restarting!"
The gems on all of the golems regained their color, the destroyed golems regenerated and all stood again, as if nothing happened.
"Hey what the fuck!" Huang Lu shouted as all seven golems were active again. He punched one of them, and the golem shattered to pieces. But, it regenerated!
Zhan Yuanfang, being the studious one, gave a suggestion. "This is a puzzle!"
"A puzzle?"
"The gems must mean something."
"Each had a different shape, and also a different color." Zhan Yuanfang nodded as she observed the seven golems. The seven golems' gems had seven different colors At the same time, each of these gems also had a different shape, and was located slightly differently on the faces of the golems. There was also a single symbol on the left arm of each of the golems.
"So we need to destroy them in the correct order?" Huang Lu asked as he blocked two golems at the same time.
"I think so!"
"So, which order?"
"I'm thinking the rainbow colors." Zhan Yuanfang suggested, noting how each of the gems match a color of the rainbow.
"The shapes and positions of the gems seem to match up with the seven stars." Toh Gen also proposed, referring to the seven star constellation.
"The seven days! Each rune seems to match an ancient way of writing numbers." Xue Xinling observed.
"So... which one?"
