After taking two more steps forward, Su Hong suddenly felt that his feet were empty and he began to fall downwards.
"save--"
Before the fate word was shouted out, Su Hong came to the end and sat down on the ground. The stone hurt Su Hong's buttocks, but the damage did not reach the minimum threshold, so Xiaobai's protection was not triggered.
"Huh..." Su Hong exhaled and stood up, but was immediately frightened by the sight in front of him.
Surrounding Su Hong are rough stone walls, and embedded in the stone walls is a coffin. The coffin is made of thin wooden boards and has become somewhat dilapidated under the erosion of time. It makes a creaking sound in the shadowed corner, bringing with it a sound.
A gusty wind blew up.
Su Hong looked up and saw that the falling time was extremely short, but he couldn't see the top at a glance. It was roughly estimated to be tens of meters high.
"Um~~~"
A roar suddenly sounded in Su Hong's ears, and a cold hand placed on Su Hong's neck.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
In a place like this, it goes without saying that you know what is behind you.
Su Hong subconsciously did a roundhouse kick, but a delicate face caught Su Hong's eyes, and Su Hong kicked Xiao Bai in the waist.
It's over, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I actually kicked this humanoid Gundam!
Maybe a set of crows could take his life away on a plane.
It’s better to just make a mistake and make a mistake!
Of course, Su Hong was not stupid enough to say that he really wanted to defeat Xiao Bai, but instead of apologizing directly, Su Hong thought of a better way.
Su Hong punched Xiaobai in the face again and shouted: "You are so bold and evil, how dare you pretend to be the most invincible and cutest Xiaobai in the world and attack me!"
"Pfft." Xiaobai stopped Su Hong's fist and couldn't help laughing.
"I was so nervous just now. I thought someone was pretending to be you and attacked me." Su Hong said seriously. He immediately judged that Xiaobai was real, but he deliberately added a blow in order to pretend to be a casual compliment.
.
Although a woman will worry about whether a man only likes her because of her appearance, no matter what a man likes about her, as long as you call her ugly, any woman will be angry. On the contrary, if you praise her for being beautiful, she will never be angry because of it.
.
"Humph, you can talk."
Huh, Su Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaobai didn't care about anything with him. He survived again. As expected, women are dangerous and difficult to deal with. Cats are easier to get close to. But even with the same individual, cats are easier to get in touch with than humans.
Could it be that appearance has an impact on psychology?
"Haha..." Su Hong looked careless, and then began to change the topic: "What should we do next?"
"I'm not sure either. Each tomb has very distinct personal characteristics. Depending on the personality of the tomb owner, the degree of danger and opportunities are also very different." Xiaobai is not sure about the next journey. What will she do?
His perceptual ability is limited to the same level as Su Hong, but compared to Su Hong, Xiaobai still has more experience.
"Then this is?"
"It's obviously a maze, but it's not that simple. Although the owner of the tomb told visitors some of his glorious deeds, the owner of the tomb is obviously cruel in his methods. Every coffin here contains dolls, and
It's a doll made from living people." Xiaobai approached the coffin and took a few glances inside through the gap.
"Doll?"
"There are not only dolls in the coffin, but also Gu insects. They are very evil."
Su Hong swallowed his saliva, "By the way, the owner of this tomb seems to be a marshal of some country. Have you heard of it?"
"Then I don't know. The world I live in is very big, and there are countless countries. My race alone has three countries, and there are more than 10,000 races that can have a foothold in the world, and
There are also mixed subraces with countless forces. The larger the race, the more it will be divided into several countries. There seem to be six or seven countries in the human race. I don’t know the details. There are also some small countries that have established themselves as kings.
There are countless more.”
Different from the fact that only humans rule the earth, the country in the world where Xiaobai lives is not the largest unit of the political system. Above the country, there are alliances based on race, similar to the United Nations. On top of race, there are also divisions based on frivolous relationships between races.
The larger alliance can be compared to the existence of the Galactic Federation in the novel. On top of this, there is also a larger alliance that specifically fights against some monsters that violate common sense.
"Then what should we do now?" Su Hong asked for Xiaobai's opinion. Xiaobai must have received a lot of inheritance since he was so good.
"Don't look at me. From now on, the adventure will officially begin. I will limit my power to a range comparable to yours. Although I have been to the tomb before, let alone the mechanisms left behind, even if I
Even if the tomb owner puts a row in a row, I can't fight it alone. They are all violent attacks. This is my first time to participate in a serious trial."
The novices in the past did not have so much time to play puzzle solving, and usually they entered this kind of tomb by mistake.
"Okay." Su Hong is not too disappointed. At least he has found out that the mechanism left by the owner of the tomb is actually completely unable to do anything about Xiao Bai. If something goes wrong, there is still a way out.
With the guarantee, Su Hong can concentrate on exploring. It is more appropriate to call it treasure hunting. After all, it cannot be called an adventure without risks.
Su Hong took Xiaobai's hand and started to walk forward. Xiaobai was his life-saving talisman, so he couldn't let Xiaobai stay too far away.
Xiaobai glanced at Su Hong. Did this timid and lustful wooden head suddenly become enlightened? But it's not a strange thing. After all, even if Su Hong doesn't want to admit it, even a wooden person will be moved by my charm.
, how could Su Hong not be moved?
But Su Hong didn't think that much. It was as if the single-threaded CPU brain made Su Hong not realize that holding Xiao Bai was holding the girl's hand. He was obviously worried about finding excuses to hold hands before, but now instead
He grabbed Xiaobai's soft little hand very naturally.
There was no obvious difference between each wall in the maze. The various roads with different directions made Su Hong confused about the direction. As he walked, Su Hong felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar. It seemed that this was the place where he first fell.
Su Hong touched his chin. The scene around him was similar, and Su Hong couldn't tell whether it was where he came from in the first place.
After looking through his backpack, he found that there was no ball of wool in the backpack. Otherwise, Su Hong could use traversal to find the way out of the maze, using depth-first traversal to mark each path. Although it might take some time, but
Sooner or later, I will be able to finish walking, otherwise I may not be able to walk out at all due to the interference with my senses.
By the way, you can use a knife to carve scratches on the ground. After all, with Xiaobai's blessing, the machete in your hand has definitely reached the category of an artifact and can leave deep scratches on the ground.
Su Hong tore open a bag of potato chips, ate a few slices, and placed two more on the ground, marking his starting point. Then he bent over and inserted the knife into the ground. The solid ground was as fragile as tofu and was stabbed easily.
Entering, Su Hong left a deep scratch on the ground as he moved.
Go forward, turn diagonally, turn right, turn right again, turn diagonally...
Going around, Su Hong saw the potato chips on the ground again.
Su Hong was not discouraged and walked back directly, stopping at the previous fork, making a small fork at the fork that would go around to the starting point to indicate that this road was not possible, and then headed to another fork.
It left scratches all the way until it reached a dead end, stopped, turned around again, and made another small fork at the intersection.
Xiaobai followed Su Hong, but she did not help Su Hong mark the coffins. Instead, she observed the coffins on each wall.
After walking like this for more than an hour, Su Hong felt soreness in his back.
"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, let's take a rest." Su Hong sat down on the ground. Even if the puppet in the coffin didn't crawl out and attack him, Su Hong was very tired from hunching over and constantly drawing lines on the ground.
Stretch yourself, stretch your stiff body, twist and turn, and make all the bones in your body creak. Although I don’t know if this is good for the body, it is much better than cracking your fingers. There is a kind of comfort all over the body, as if
The pleasure of unity between man and nature.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, have you discovered anything?"
"Let's take a rest first. If my guess is correct, you won't be able to get out this way."
"Why?"
"Did you look inside these coffins?"
"I did not see."
"Some coffins contain living dolls and poisonous insects, some contain town objects or magic weapons, and some are empty."
"Empty?" Su Hong lowered his head and thought for a moment, "You mean, there are mechanisms inside these coffins? Or these coffins themselves are mechanisms, and the exit must rely on these mechanisms to be triggered, otherwise it will circle back to the starting point anyway."
"Roughly the same."
Su Hong continued to add: "But when these trigger mechanisms find the exit, it is very likely that the living puppets will attack us?"
He's not stupid either, this is a common trick.
Xiaobai nodded.
"Then how many live dolls can you beat now?"
"Hehe~" Xiaobai showed a slightly weird smile and did not answer Su Hong. Instead, he asked Su Hong: "How many do you think you can hit?"
"Um...half?"
"Then I'm pretty much the same. After all, I've basically never practiced martial arts."
"Ah?" Su Hong suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, and it looked like Xiaobai didn't seem to have practiced at all. He could make the angel docile with his bare hands.
"I left the scope of martial arts very early. To put it in words you can understand, I am a professional mage. If my physical condition, observation ability and reaction ability are at the same level as yours, I will not be much better than you.
." Xiao Bai didn't feel ashamed at all, but said triumphantly: "Also, if I am forced to use my strength beyond my predetermined limit to save myself, there will be punishment. Of course, it is punishment.
You~"
"Gulu~"
Su Hong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, people's hearts are really evil, and this kind of condition is simply unreasonable.
After a tiring day and getting up early in the morning, Su Hong found a place to lean on and start to rest. It was estimated that he would have to enter the battle again later. Although he was not injured in the previous fight against the tree demon, it also brought a toll on Su Hong's spirit.
It was quite a burden, coupled with watching the life of the tomb owner and staying in such dim conditions, Su Hong, as an ordinary person, was already very tired.
