No.11 A Trap of Bad Faith Between Blurred Words

"By the way, there are a lot of traps in this ruin, so be careful. "Xiao Ye deliberately walked half a step ahead of Xiao Tian, so that even if he accidentally touched the mechanism, he would be the one who was attacked.

"I know. Xiao Tian took out a worn-out drawing, "It was originally my mission to explore this ruin. ”

Xiao Ye took the drawing and looked at it. This old paper, which looks very old, is clearly the floor plan of the ruins. Although it was a little blurry because of its dilapidation, Xiao Ye, who had already walked a considerable distance, could tell at a glance that the location of the symbols was the place where the mechanism was set up.

And the place where there was a slate puzzle just now also has a special mark drawn. The same mark, from here to the end of the ruins at the very front, there is ...... Two places.

"......" Xiao Ye raised her head with a solemn expression, "Xiao Tian." Do you recognize that kind of writing on the wall?"

Xiao Tian nodded expressionlessly.

"Okay, over to you. Xiao Ye returned the drawings to Xiao Tian in a serious tone.

Once is enough to be illiterate or something.

"Hmm. Xiao Ya's expression was a little vague, but Xiao Tian immediately understood that Xiao Ye was referring to the word puzzle that he would encounter earlier. If you let Xiao Ye continue to play elimination, it is estimated that she will not be able to get out when it gets dark.

With the guidance of the map, Xiao Ya and Xiao Tian successfully avoided all the places where the trap would be triggered. Although neither of them thinks they will be tricked, it is always good to be on the safe side.

The two walked forward in silence, only the sound of footsteps echoing through the silent underground tunnel. However, although there were no words, the atmosphere was not awkward or oppressive, but there was a natural sense of harmony - the two parties were also unconscious, and they were completely taken for granted.

Probably due to the obstruction of the previous "Broken Circuit" mechanism, this section of the road is not the same as the outside world, and wild Pokémon are not seen again. As a result, the journey was much smoother than before, and soon the familiar barricades were once again in view.

Xiao Tian didn't rush closer, but stood in the distance and looked at the 4x4 text puzzle in the center of the wall, thinking - after all, the wall behind him would fall when he approached, blocking the candlelight. It's even more tricky to figure out how the text is arranged when there is no light at all.

Knowing that Xiao Tian was thinking about how to arrange the words, Xiao Ye didn't bother, and stood quietly and waited. Xiao Ye is really not good at this field, so he has to be a spectator.

It turns out that Xiao Tian is indeed much more efficient than the illiterate Xiao Ye. In less than three minutes, Xiao Tian nodded to Xiao Ye, and the two took a step forward together.

The mechanism under the stone pavement of "Boom ......" sensed the weight and immediately sank, driving the stone wall behind it. Xiao Tian didn't look back at the falling stone wall at all, and walked to the text puzzle to operate.

Although the obstruction of the front and rear walls made the surrounding hands invisible, Xiao Tian's movements did not hesitate much, and the friction between the stone slabs made a dry sound.

The first time you move, right. The second and third time that followed did not trigger the mechanism.

During this period, Xiao Ye has been standing quietly one step behind Xiao Tian. At this distance, even if Xiao Tian accidentally triggers the mechanism, Xiao Ye will have time to intercept the arrow.

Xiao Tian's speed of moving the slate gradually slowed down. After all, it is impossible to memorize each step with your brain, and you can only distinguish the text by touch in a lightless environment. However, slow to slow, Xiao Tian did not trigger the mechanism due to a single operation error.

And the way an illiterate person violently forcibly cracks this level is simply two extremes.

However, the ill-will of the relic-makers does not seem to end there.

Xiao Tian took a step to the left, trying to move the stone slab in the upper left corner. There was a slight clicking sound from the feet of Xiao Tian, as if the floor tiles were not leveled.

This sound that is so subtle that ordinary people will never pay attention to it can't be more familiar to Xiao Ye. Placing the wounding mechanism in the dark, right next to the text puzzle, is obviously a careless move by someone who wants to think about the solution.

The shrill sound of the wind whistling from the metal arrows. Xiao Tian heard the sound of the wind coming towards him, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly flashed to the side in a hurry.

Xiao Tian, who thought that his dodge was a little slow, did not usher in the pain of the blade cutting through the skin. The incoming wind was abruptly interrupted halfway through.

Then, from that direction came the voice of Saya.

"Just give it to me. Xiao Ye smiled, waving the arrow that had been intercepted in time.

Xiao Tian's eyes widened slightly. In an unexpected situation, he actually accurately captured a high-speed arrow with his hands? At least Xiao Tian thought he couldn't do it. Sayo's expression couldn't be seen in the pitch-black tunnel, but Xiao Tian could imagine Xiao Ya's relaxed smile that hadn't changed.

"Good. The silver-haired boy nodded.

So, the next time he stepped on the same mechanism, Xiaotian didn't even look back, and let the sharp wind blow at him.

"Ding. ”

The sound of a collision.

Xiao Ye swung the shaft of the arrow in his hand and accurately knocked the arrow that pierced Xiao Tian to the ground. During this period, Xiao Tian didn't react at all as if he wasn't aware of the existence of the mechanism.

Taking two steps back and standing behind Xiao Tian, Xiao Ye raised the corners of his mouth helplessly. Trust a stranger you just met to such an extent just because of a word. Such unprecedented treatment is truly ...... Terrified.

The people of this world are really incredible at times.

Until the heavy stone wall was raised, these hidden mechanisms that were not marked on the map could not hinder Xiao Tian. Although he has lost the power of nature, he will never make a mistake at this level of work.

And it only took Xiao Tian less than ten minutes to solve this level. It has to be said that two people are much more efficient when working together than one person.

Xiao Ye casually threw away the arrow shaft in his hand and looked forward. I don't know if it was because of the lack of oxygen blocked by the stone wall, the candle lights from here to back were not lit, and the road with no end in sight was drowned in a deep darkness.

"How are you going to solve the lighting in front...... Huh?" As soon as he turned around, Xiao Ye saw Xiao Tian handing over an unknown object.

Xiao Ye took it without knowing it.

Adhesive bandage?

"???" Saya's head is full of question marks. What is the rhythm of suddenly handing over a piece of Band-Aid, is it something that is injured and needs help bandaging?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ye began to carefully scan Xiao Tian up and down to see if he was injured.

"......" Xiao Tian looked at this guy who was obviously wrong to stare at him. Sighing inwardly, he took the Band-Aid in Xiao Ye's hand and carefully attached it to the palm of Xiao Ya's left hand under Xiao Ye's blank gaze.

Xiao Ye was stunned, and then realized what Xiao Tian meant.

When he took the first arrow, Sayo's left hand was indeed accidentally scratched by the arrow, but the wound was quite shallow, not even a bruise, and it didn't hurt at all, so it wasn't noticed by Sayo.

On the contrary, Xiaotian, in such a dim environment, how did he notice that inconspicuous wound?

"Thank you. Sayo smiled, with a subtle and strange feeling in her heart. This girl named "Xiaotian" seems a little incredible.

When Xiao Ye, who walked out of the ruins, finally figured out the true gender of the person he identified as the "silver-haired girl", he recalled his thoughts at the time, and was once again very glad that Xiao Tian couldn't read minds.

Otherwise, you will definitely be killed in the ruins.
