At first, Jiang Xingchen thought it was just his own eyesight, but when he turned around, he saw the old man and several private soldiers rubbing their eyes. He was immediately shocked. If it was just him who was dazzled, it would be normal, but everyone else would be dazzled.
Problem.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xingchen asked immediately.
"My eyes seemed to be blurry just now, and my vision was a little blurry, but it got better soon. It's okay!" the old man replied.
"Something's wrong!" Jiang Xingchen stopped, frowned, and began to look around. The energy sent out by the material detection array kept searching around.
"Something's wrong!" The old man also became nervous and began to mobilize his energy.
"I was also dazzled just now. We can't all be dazzled at the same time!" After Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, several private soldiers also said that they did feel dazzled.
"But now my body is very normal, which means there is no medicine powder or anything like that in the air." The old man is a great doctor and is at the ninth level of vitality. He has also learned Drunken Boxing. He said there is no abnormality, so there is basically nothing wrong with it.
question.
"Did you find anything?" the old man asked Jiang Xingchen immediately.
"No!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head and turned back to ask the three monsters if they felt anything.
But when he turned his head, he suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Why is the door missing?"
They entered the passage not far away, and there were no turns. Looking back, they should be able to see the light of the door. But now there was only a dark passage in his sight, and the door had disappeared.
The old man and others turned around after hearing this, with expressions of astonishment on their faces. Their hairs stood on end and goosebumps aroused by this strange scene.
"Is this the secret that the patriarch said?" The old man murmured, grabbed Jiang Xingchen and said, "Let's go back, it might be a deception!"
Jiang Xingchen grabbed the old man with his backhand and whispered: "Don't move yet! The people of the Dashang royal family separated the secret and the key in the first place because they were afraid that the key would be robbed. If someone breaks in with the key and finds this situation, first
The reaction is to go back first and find the exit."
"You mean, it's not possible to go back, we can't get out!" the old man asked.
"And it will be even more dangerous!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, and immediately controlled his energy to explore back.
The old man frowned and reached out to touch the stone wall next to him. The cold and real touch told him that it was not fake.
"Is it possible that when we came in, we thought we were walking in a straight line, but in fact the passage was slanted or curved, so we couldn't see the door?" the old man asked.
"No!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head. His expression was extremely solemn. He used the material detection array to sense that the end of this passage could not be found. They clearly entered only more than 20 meters. If the passage is curved, then the exploration
The vitality is not curved.
Not only that, the results of his exploration in other directions were even more horrifying. There were passages behind the wall. Just now when he was exploring, he could still find the earth and rocks on the hill outside the rock. And he couldn't explore the head yet. The limit of his exploration was ten miles.
It can reach outside the palace. This treasure is obviously inside the hill. You can imagine how strange this situation is.
In order to verify, he took a few steps back, and the results were all the same. This situation should not be an illusion, the walls and the ground were all real, and the touch would not be wrong. The most important thing is that he used
Formation, even if your senses are deceived, the formation will not be deceived.
"Is it a formation that I don't know about?" Jiang Xingchen had this thought and immediately denied it. If it was a formation, his vitality should have been interrupted!
Jiang Xingchen lowered his eyes and thought, assuming many possibilities, but none of them could explain the current situation.
"How about this? I'll go back and have a look! I always feel that the passage is curved!" The old man made this request after seeing Jiang Xingchen didn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Xingchen raised his eyes to look at the old man, nodded and said: "You can see, but you have to tie a rope. This place is too weird. It will be bad if we get separated!"
"I understand. Let's tie up the ropes to prevent them from getting separated!" the old man said, waving to the private soldiers. The private soldiers immediately took out the ropes from their backpacks.
After the rope was tied, the old man said something to Jiang Xingchen and then carefully walked back along the wall.
Not long after, the old man came back, his face gloomy, he shook his head and said to Jiang Xingchen: "There is no gate, just like you said, there is only the passage, nothing!"
"Chirp!" Pink barked twice anxiously. It also knew that it was trapped, and seemed very irritable, wishing to break the stone wall right away.
The other two monsters were similar. As long as Jiang Xingchen gave the order, they would take action immediately.
Jiang Xingchen ignored the three monsters and turned around to explore, but there was still no end to the passage.
"What should we do now?" The old man had no choice but to ask Jiang Xingchen.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen's inner qualities were revealed. Instead of being anxious, he became calmer and made a decision immediately. Now that retreating is no longer possible, he can only move forward. Maybe he can find a way out of the treasures.
method.
"Okay, let's move forward!" The old man understood Jiang Xingchen's meaning after a moment's thought, and then asked the private soldiers to take out the ropes, asked Pinky and the others to tie them up, and asked the demon fox to be responsible for paying attention to the end of the team.
The three demon beasts tied the rope reluctantly. The demon fox jumped on Dabai's butt, holding a fluorite in its small paws, with its back to everyone, watching the rear.
Everyone set off again, although they were still very careful, but their speed was a little faster.
After walking for about five or six minutes, a fork appeared in the passage, and there were two of them on the stone wall on the right. Jiang Xingchen had been exploring forward just now, but did not find the fork here.
"There are two forks here, how do we go?" The old man stopped and turned to ask.
Jiang Xingchen stood still and used his vitality to explore again. He found that he still couldn't find the end, and the same was true for the two passages at the fork. But this time he began to pay attention to both sides, and found that there were new forks in each fork, and there were as many as eight.
, the channel is no longer straight, there are many arcs.
In addition, there are many forks in the passage they have been walking on, including stone walls on the left and right. Thinking that they had just explored through the stone walls and found that almost all the passages behind them were passages, Jiang Xingchen frowned and said, "This is no longer a maze, right?"
"What did you say? Maze?" the old man said in surprise.
"Well! The passages are not only what we see, but almost all around us. These passages go in different directions and are connected to each other. It is probably a maze. In such an environment, we will lose our sense of direction after a long time." Jiang Xingchen
replied.
"What are we afraid of? We don't have magnetic needles with us, right? I remember we should be heading south. If we encounter any stone wall, just break it by force!" said the old man.
"That's what I thought too!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and took out the magnetic needle, but when he saw it, he was dumbfounded again! (To be continued.)
