Jian Qingqing and others finally made up their minds and decided to go inside the cave to check out the situation.
Jian Wuqing took the lead and led everyone around the corner to the entrance of the cave at the corner.
As a result, as soon as they stood at the entrance of the cave, everyone was stunned.
Because they discovered that the person in the cave was actually the Third Elder, an elderly Third Elder who was obviously a little rickety.
I didn't expect that the third elder would suddenly become so old.
When they first saw this old third elder, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
What's going on? Why did the third elder suddenly become old?
What causes the third elder to grow old?
At this time, Jian Qingqing said: "Third Elder?"
The old man in the cave was meditating on the ground at the moment. After he heard Jian Wuwu's voice, he slightly raised his eyes and looked at Jian Wuwu.
"Qingqing, it's you guys who are here."
The old man spoke, his voice weak.
Jian Wuqing hurriedly took two steps forward and asked: "Third Elder, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
The visitor did not answer this, but slowly stood up from the ground and looked at Jian Wuqing and others.
Seeing this, Jian Wuwu took two steps forward with his men.
He brought people closer, partly to get a look at the third elder, and partly to get closer so that he could inspect it more carefully with the help of his spiritual consciousness.
He wanted to confirm whether this person was the third elder.
After all, based on what I see now, I can only say that the other party is indeed very similar to the third elder, but there is no way to really confirm it.
Before and after walking up, Jian Wuqing sent a message to everyone: "Everyone should use their spiritual sense to check him out."
Everyone was silent, all looking for their spiritual consciousness.
In fact, even if Jian Wuqing didn't say anything, they would have already done so.
Everyone present, like Jian Qingqing, wanted to know whether the person in front of him was the third elder.
"What year and month is it now?"
Just as Jian Qingwu took two steps forward, the third elder suddenly asked.
Jian Qingqing was stunned. Hearing the meaning of the third elder's words, it felt like many years had passed. Is there any difference in the speed of time passing in the infinite abyss?
After thinking about it, Jian Qingqing mentioned the year and month.
As soon as he finished speaking, the third elder shook his head and said: "After so many years, how could it be possible that this is the time when I brought you in? We have been trapped in this infinite abyss for too long."
Hearing this, Jian Wuqing and the Tianlei Sect disciples present were dumbfounded.
Is there a problem with me or with the third elder?
Obviously I don't feel how long it has been, so why does the third elder say that he has been trapped in this infinite abyss for too long?
"Third Elder, have you been in this cave all these years?"
Jian Qingqing asked.
The third elder glanced at him, nodded slowly and said: "Yes, I have been unable to walk here. It has only been in recent years that my injury has improved a little, but my strength has plummeted, and I dare not leave this cave for fear of encountering someone outside.
to danger."
Hearing this, Jian Qingqing and the disciples looked at each other.
According to the meaning of the third elder's words, he has really been trapped here for many years. Is it because the speed of time in this cave is different from that outside?
Jian Qingqing and others did not dare to believe this, but they could not deny it either.
After all, the terrain in this infinite abyss is so strange that anything can happen.
Jian Wuqing thought for a while and then asked: "Third Elder, you said so many years have passed, but we don't feel that many years have passed."
He felt a little strange. Since the third elder said he had been trapped here for many years, why didn't he look surprised at all when he saw them suddenly appear?
Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be a surprise?
"Really? Is that because time flows faster in this cave?"
The third elder said with some doubts.
Seeing what the third elder said, Jian Qingqing asked again: "Third elder, how did you get trapped in this cave?"
"Let me think about it." The third elder looked like he was frowning and thinking. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I don't know, it seems that I encountered a strange black shadow here, and was finally defeated by that black shadow.
, and then he was seriously injured and unable to leave the cave."
Listening to the third elder's words, Jian Qingqing and others were thinking rapidly.
They always felt that the third elder in front of them was a bit strange. He didn't seem to have complete logical thinking ability when he spoke, and his words were a bit inconsistent.
I don't know if it's because he's getting older, or because he was seriously injured and lost his consciousness.
At the same time, the location of the masked man.
The masked man couldn't hear what Jian Wuwu and the others said to the third elder, but he could clearly see the expressions of Jian Qingwu and the others.
The expressions of Jian Wuqing and others were exactly as he expected.
"That's the only way I can deceive you."
The masked man laughed secretly.
He knew in his heart that if a conscious third elder was allowed to talk to Jian Qingqing and others, it would be difficult to truly deceive them.
After all, they will definitely look for loopholes in the third elder's words.
But facing an obviously unconscious third elder, Jian Wuqing and others would not think so much, and would only focus on thinking about why the third elder became so unconscious.
In this way, it will be easier to deceive Jian Wuqing and others.
On the other side, Jian Qingqing and others took a few steps forward after realizing that the third elder was unconscious.
In this way, we can observe the third elder more closely and see if there is any problem with the third elder in front of us.
"Third Elder." Jian Qingqing stepped forward and asked, "Do you still remember the way out of this maze?"
"Of course you remember. As long as this maze has not changed so much over the years, I can take you out of here. I will always remember the way."
The third elder nodded with certainty.
Jian Wuqing frowned slightly.
The more certain the third elder said, the less he could believe the third elder's words, and the more he felt that the third elder had lost his mind.
Jian Qingqing thought for a while and said: "Third Elder, this maze has not changed much yet. Since you know the way, why don't you take us out of here?"
He planned to use this method to try to see if the third elder really remembered the way, because they still remembered the way they came. If the third elder did not lead them back along the original road, then it meant that the third elder must have lost his mind.
"Let's go. Since you are here, you must leave. I will take you out of here together."
The third elder spoke slowly.
Jian Qingqing originally wanted to mention the crystal giant kun at this time. After all, their original purpose of coming here was to hunt the crystal giant kun. But now that the third elder is in such a situation, it is better to leave this infinite abyss first.
Jian Wuqing didn't want so many disciples to be trapped here.
"Third Elder, we will escort you."
Jian Qingqing led the people and walked behind the third elder.
Normally, one should give up the position in the center of the formation and let the third elder lead the team, but the third elder seemed to have lost strength now, so Jian Qingqing didn't mention it.
The most important thing now is to see if the path led by the third elder is correct.
A group of people left the cave.
The third elder led the way, followed closely by Jian Wuqing and others.
At first, the third elder walked out of the cave along the route taken by Jian Qingqing and others, but after leaving the cave, he quickly chose another path.
Jian Wuwu couldn't help but frown.
The path led by these three elders is obviously wrong.
