117, puppet castle 30
Yan Wei looked at the upward stairs in front of him.
He did not walk in immediately, but thought of two possibilities.
The first type is that the man in black robe had consumed too much just now and was eager to return to this secret place to hide. He thought that no players would find it anyway, so he did not rush to close the secret door.
The second is that the man in black robe is smarter than he expected. He expected that someone behind him might have planned all this and caught up with him, so he deliberately left the door half open. The man in black robe is not afraid of the player discovering it, because maybe the stairs
Above, there is danger of death waiting for the players who arrive.
Or...
There are both.
They accidentally saved several days of searching for this hidden fourth floor. The man in black robe also took advantage of the scheme and wanted to keep those who could find this place directly.
Since the man in black robe might have expected this, Yan Wei simply stopped being cautious and put away his ability to sense bursts, and said: "I want to go in."
His expression remained unchanged, his eyes darkened slightly, "It's worth trying. Give up here. The next time we come in, we will either have to think about the layout again to lure the man in black robe to open it by himself, or spend time to solve the problem of opening the door, but these two
The choice takes time and also carries great risks. We still have zero points so far. The time cost we have paid in the past two days is to find another way, but if we give up now..."
Yan Wei has always had an estimate of his abilities.
Even if he can deduce and guess, it must be based on certainty, and there is a certain probability. He is not a god, and it is impossible for him to succeed in everything.
He said: "If we give up now, we have to abandon our useless conscience and join in grabbing points. Because I am not very sure that if I leave now, I can continue to break the game first."
Lin Zhen rarely said the truth at this time: "But there are risks in grabbing points. What we want is not the top few, but the first place - let me think about it, why do I think we have to kill Xu Miao?"
Team Miaoquan, how about killing Team Xue Quanquan? That unorganized group of people is not enough..."
"So I want to go in. In fact, the risk of going in is similar to the risk of leaving now, but the benefits-"
Yan Mingguang said calmly: "Very high."
This means that all three people want to go in.
Yan Wei still asked Lin Zhen to walk at the back so that he could attack from a distance at any time and prevent sudden danger from behind. Yan Mingguang and Yan Wei walked closely in tandem. They kept their steps as low as possible and walked through the door cautiously.
inside.
Behind the door is a staircase.
There are no lights inside. Looking at the end of the stairs, there is only darkness. It seems that there is no way ahead, and it seems that there is endless darkness ahead.
Yan Wei held the moon wheel in one hand and followed Yan Mingguang up the stairs, thinking about the topography of the castle.
The castle is circular, and the inner and outermost parts of the circle outline a pattern. These routes from the first floor to the fourth floor are stacked together. Looking from top to bottom, it looks like a crow waiting to spread its wings and fly.
The location of this secret fourth-level space separated from the observatory seems to be the back of the crow.
What is the back?
No matter what the back is, the back... the back...
"Ice cube," Yan Wei said, "This is the back of the crow. Whether it is a human or a crow, the back is a blind spot. The blind spot means-"
Yan Mingguang obviously understood: "Weakness."
Lin Zhen from behind: "What do you mean? This represents weakness?"
"Maybe it's a representative, maybe it's an existence." Yan Wei stepped up the next step, frowning slightly, "I always feel that the topography of this castle is a symbol or represents something. We have no way to use this castle or pass through this
What does a castle do? The only role the terrain can play is to allow us to obtain information."
"The crow can be said to be a symbol of the owner of the castle, and the coins are the props we need to consume to destroy the puppets. All of these have symbolic meanings. So, the blind spot on the crow's back... symbolizes the weakness?"
Or it can be said that it is a way to deal with the crow, the owner of the castle?
Yan Wei thought, focusing entirely on thinking about the terrain. He took a step forward but did not step on the steps. The steps in the castle were higher than ordinary steps, oppressive and formidable, and each step needed to be taken deliberately.
Before he could step up, Yan Wei was distracted and suddenly his feet were empty.
He didn't react for a moment and suddenly slipped behind him in the darkness.
"--careful!"
Before Yan Mingguang finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Yan Wei.
This person seemed to have been too impatient for a moment and pulled too hard. Not only did he pull Yan Wei back, but he also directly dragged Yan Wei up a step. Under the influence of inertia, Yan Wei bumped into Yan Mingguang's body, slightly
After being startled for a moment, he quickly picked up the moon wheel and took a step back.
"I didn't pay attention just now," he said.
"Um."
Lin Zhen urged from behind: "Aren't you going? I don't think the stairs are high. It's just a little dark in front of you. You must be afraid of the dark."
Yan Wei: "Let's go."
It's useless to think about this now. It's better to go to this hidden place on the fourth floor and take a look. He focused his attention on the surroundings and spread his perception, but he felt that the front was winding and his perception could not go deep at all.
.This feeling was a bit familiar, but the light in front was too dark to see clearly, and Yan Wei couldn't tell for a while.
The expected danger has not yet arrived.
Could it be that the man in black robe was really in a hurry and forgot to close the door?
Yan Wei always felt hairy in his heart, that deep and strange feeling clinging to every inch of skin on his body, making his hair stand on end. He put one hand in his pocket, rubbed his Yanzi coins a few times with his fingertips, and couldn't help but clench his hands. The cold air
, the hand that was not in the pocket of the windbreaker felt more obvious warmth. Yan Wei subconsciously moved his fingers to rub the warmth, and then he realized what it was.
When Yan Mingguang pulled him back just now, he didn't let go.
And he didn't feel anything, so he held hands with this person and walked up in tandem.
The steps had reached the end. Yan Mingguang paused slightly, still holding Yan Wei with one hand, and holding the whip tightly with the other, and walked up vigilantly. After making sure that nothing happened, Yan Mingguang turned sideways, and Yan Wei was still holding Yan Wei's hand.
With a strong hand, he pulled the person up from the next step.
Yan Wei turned his eyes erratically and whispered, "Thank you."
Then he pulled his hand back, stood still with his hands in his pockets, and began to look in front of him.
Lin Zhen, who was at the end, also walked up and saw Yan Mingguang pulling Yan Wei from above. He didn't think too much, and when he reached the last floor, he also extended his hand to Yan Mingguang.
Yan Mingguang just glanced at him, retracted his hand and turned around, his whole body filled with the aura of keeping strangers away.
"stranger":"?"
Lin Zhen retracted her hand in confusion, and had no choice but to step forward onto the fourth floor.
Yan Wei had already taken a few steps forward. Yan Mingguang was watching closely. As soon as Yan Wei moved forward, Yan Mingguang followed closely beside him.
"Here..." Yan Wei raised his hand and pointed vaguely at the darkness ahead, "I can't get through it with my perception, it's like a wall, but occasionally my perception can penetrate a little and come back in a roundabout way.
, and it feels like there is a road. This feeling..."
Lin Zhen came in full of expectations to get started. Until now, there was nothing but dead silence. He yawned in boredom and said, "Twists and turns? Isn't this a maze? The dungeon was so confusing for me on the first day."
Yan Wei's eyes lit up: "Yes, it's a maze. I thought too much just now, and I was still thinking about what kind of trap it was. It's not that complicated. This familiar feeling of being unable to extend but tortuous, is the same as when we came in.
Like a jungle maze!”
This is actually another entrance.
Yan Wei took a step forward and his fingertips touched a wall made of leaves - it was exactly the same as the jungle maze.
Without waiting for Yan Wei to say anything, Yan Mingguang had already stepped forward and cut his arm without hesitation. Blood dripped in the dimness and onto the wall in front of him. Yan Wei raised the moon wheel to that spot.
Looking carefully, he saw that after the blood dripped, the branches and leaves only swayed slightly, and the blood flowed on the leaves without any signs of corrosion.
Their blood can clear a path in the jungle maze outside, but it cannot corrode this small maze hidden on the fourth floor of the castle.
"A maze...another maze. This crow carries a maze on its back. What is hidden in this small maze?"
Yan Wei raised his eyebrows and said: "No wonder, the man in black robe was neither too exhausted to close the secret door, nor did he deliberately leave the secret door to attract those who followed him, but he was confident. The secret door was only the first obstacle.
Even if someone comes in, there is still this maze, which is a deeper protection, so he does not need to pay too much attention to the secret door."
There are no traps or oversights.
Simply because there is a miniature jungle maze inside, so it won't be a big deal if people come.
Yan Wei tried to take a step forward and walked into the only intersection he could walk. As expected, he felt the same feeling as when he was in the jungle maze - he couldn't use his senses and had no idea what the road ahead would be like.
At the moment he stepped in, Lou's notification sounded in the minds of Yan Wei and the others.
[Congratulations to the player for advancing the progress of the main line of the dungeon, discovering the jungle maze in the castle, and advancing the progress of breaking the dungeon. Received rewards:…….]
Along with it comes a lot of data rewards.
The data was instantly increased, and Yan Wei could clearly feel the sudden increase in his body index and perception. It was obvious that this progress was not an ordinary progress. This increase even directly made their team's strength a step further.
"Go in?" Yan Mingguang asked him.
Yan Wei nodded, but said: "Go in, but before going in, Lin Zhen has to do something first."
Lin Zhen was stunned: "Me?"
"to you."
About ten minutes later, Lin Zhen vaguely closed the secret door from the side of the stairs, carried his things and quickly stepped onto the stairs. Then, he put the things in front of the maze and said to Yan Wei: "It's done.
Already."
Yan Wei nodded.
Without saying much, Yan Mingguang raised his feet and walked towards the entrance of this dark little jungle maze. He seemed to extend his hand towards Yan Wei, but withdrew it before he could reach Yan Wei's hand.
Such a move was difficult to detect in the darkness. Yan Wei didn't notice it and just followed Yan Mingguang in.
As soon as he completely entered the maze, after walking a few steps and before reaching the first fork in the road, Yan Wei used the light of the moon in his hand to see words written in the darkened blood of Chen Nian on the wall of the maze in front of him.
.
"What is that?" Lin Zhen asked.
Chapter completed!
