Chapter 94: Runes on the Road
"Is there such a mysterious thing?" Chu Lingxun asked with a humble heart.
"Of course, at first we didn't think anything magical would happen, but at first we didn't see any treasures, and those monsters didn't show any aggression. Guo Zhen said.
"Then I saw a skeleton, shining brightly, and it wasn't something different at first glance, and none of the four of us recognized what it was. Zeng Lei added.
Then Gao Xinming wanted to go and find out, but nothing happened outside the three-step range, and as soon as he walked in, a group of demon beasts rushed out of it, and when we looked outside, those demon beasts had disappeared. Gao Xinming's injuries were also done in this way. Zeng Lei continued.
"This is the strangest place, those demon beasts are obviously outside one second, and the next second they are the same group of beasts, rushing out from inside. Guo Zhen added what Zeng Lei said.
Chu Lingxun heard it in a fog, but he still grabbed the key information from the rambling narrative of the two of them.
"There must be a demon when things are impermanent, let's go and see together, it may be some kind of original pattern technique or something, I may be able to see some clues. Chu Lingxun's understanding of this matter in his heart was deeper than that of these people, but he could only use the original pattern technique as an excuse now.
Following these three people around and around, Chu Lingxun would have suspected that he was spinning in circles if he hadn't looked at the map editor.
"Is this really that weird? I feel like we're going to take a detour. Chu Lingxun couldn't help but ask, at least from just now, he had no less than three ways to walk a lot less, and now the distance they walked felt more like walking in an S-shape, and they had walked a lot more.
"Brother Chu, you feel really good. Guo Zhen replied as he took out a map from his pocket, "That's what the markings on this map look like." ”
Chu Lingxun glanced at the map in Guo Zhen's hand, the annotations on it were relatively abstract, not as simple and intuitive as Chu Lingxun's map editor.
Others can not be understood, but there is a red line that bends around on it, Chu Lingxun can still understand it, this is their route.
"Can you lend me the map?" Chu Ling asked Guo Zhen, who wanted to match the route in the map drawing with the map on his map editor.
"No problem, we've memorized the map anyway. Guo Zhen casually handed the map to Chu Lingxun.
Chu Lingxun took the map, then opened the map editor and compared everything in detail.
"Hmm...... That one...... Where are we now?" Chu Lingxun looked at it for a long time and reluctantly discovered a fact, his IQ level in this area could only understand the map editor.
"Brother Chu, you see, we are here now, the big rock we passed by just now is this, and then there is a waterhole. Guo Zhen took the initiative to find an answer for Chu Ling.
"Oh~ That's right. Chu Lingxun felt that his face was hot, he hadn't seen the meaning of these marks before.
"Sure enough, I'm a ghost who can read maps. Chu Lingxun felt more and more that the map editor was very useful.
According to Guo Zhen's detailed answer just now, Chu Lingxun successfully found their next path on the map editor.
Then Chu Lingxun raised the viewing angle, wanting to pull the viewing angle to the same scale as this map, so as to see what clues were here, at least with his current point of view, he didn't see anything abnormal.
Chu Lingxun gradually pulled the perspective to the same scale as the map, and at this time, the people who looked at the ground were almost unable to see clearly, and could only see a rough small black dot.
"I don't see anything out of the ordinary, why is this map marked that way? Chu Lingxun asked secretly in his heart.
Chu Lingxun looked carefully and looked at the next path on the map editor.
"Brother Guo, what will happen if you don't follow the instructions on the map?" Chu Lingxun couldn't see anything famous, and asked Guo Zhen.
"We don't really know that, but you look at the back of the map. Guo Zhen pointed to the map in Chu Lingxun's hand.
Chu Lingxun flipped over the map, and Long Feifeng Wu scribbled a few words on it - follow the route.
"In other words, you don't know what happens if you don't follow the route back?" Chu Lingxun thought that they knew what strange things would happen if they didn't follow the route.
"Yes, we didn't dare to try, and in the end we found the cave mentioned on the map, so we didn't think much about it. Guo Zhen replied to Chu Lingxun.
"That's pretty magical. Chu Lingxun touched his chin, then opened the trigger editor that he hadn't opened for a long time, and began to check the runes on it.
"It's been so long, I still only know the three runes on it...... "Chu Lingxun looked at the unfamiliar runes on the screen.
On this interface, Chu Lingxun looked around for runes, none of which he knew, but gradually looked at him and noticed something wrong.
"Why does it feel a little wrong?" Chu Lingxun carefully looked at each rune on it, although he really didn't understand any of them, he felt that these runes were different from what he had seen before.
"The runes here seem to ...... A bit much. "Chu Lingxun found a problem, generally only in certain places will there be so many runes, for example, when Chu Lingxun saw the vast runes outside the Heaven Tattoo Palace.
"No, that's not the problem. Chu Lingxun denied the problem he had discovered just now.
"Brother Chu, is there anything wrong?" Guo Zhen frowned when he looked at Chu Lingxun, thinking that he had found something wrong.
"No, nothing. Chu Lingxun was looking at the trigger editor in the map editor just now, and now he came back to his senses and answered.
"Chu Lingxun, it's not a big deal, it's just that doing what is said on the map may be less troublesome or dangerous. Zeng Lei patted Chu Lingxun's shoulder, and then walked to the side.
"You see, it's okay to come out now. Zeng Lei walked out of the established route and patted a tree, "just to be on the safe side." ”
"Hmm, wait?" Chu Lingxun saw that a rune on the trigger editor had changed, and hurriedly opened it, seeing that the rune where the rune was located before had become an option in the small interface.
"Zeng Lei, you can come back and try it?" Chu Lingxun asked Zeng Lei to walk back.
"Brother Chu, have you found anything?" Guo Zhen and Qing Luo, who were walking in front, also stopped, and Guo Zhen asked.
"No, just a guess of mine. Chu Lingxun seemed to have grasped something when he saw the change in that rune, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Zeng Lei walked back as he said, and Chu Lingxun saw that the rune on the trigger editor had not changed back.
After spending a little bit of the spirit coin Qi stored in it, Chu Lingxun had already absorbed thousands of data in it during this time, and this data was just a drop in the bucket, Chu Lingxun changed the rune back.
Then, Chu Lingxun walked over again, and patted the tree like Zeng Lei, in fact, before shooting, Chu Lingxun found that the runes had changed, and the moment of change was when he deviated from his normal route.
Then Chu Lingxun walked back again, changed the runes that had changed just now to the previous appearance, and then went to a few other places to try, and found that there were all runes changed, but they couldn't follow the route.
"Then go on, and I'll take another look, and I'll tell you what I find. Chu Lingxun said.
Chu Ling Xun remembered his previous abnormality, that is, none of the runes here were changing!
No matter where it is, there will always be rune changes, such as the switch rune that Chu Lingxun already knew, and the appearance on the trigger editor of the map editor shows that this rune controls the switch of something.
For example, if someone walks over and opens a door, the runes in the trigger editor will also change, and there are many, many small things that happen at any time, and it is impossible for everything to be still at a certain moment, let alone for such a long time.
"Unless ......" Chu Lingxun thought of the illusion he had encountered in the statue of a Xuankong Daoist underground, at that time, Chu Lingxun saw that there were only a few runes in that illusion, and only under certain circumstances would they change.
"Alberton. Chu Lingxun called Alberton's name in his mind.
"Wake up Ben Long's sleep, if it's not a big deal, Ben Long is going to curse. Alberton replied in a daze, sounding like he had just woken up.
"Are you there?" Chu Ling asked.
"What's not there, where else can Ben Long go?" Alberton was asked by Chu Lingxun, and he couldn't react well.
"Oh, that's fine. Chu Lingxun just wanted to confirm whether this was an illusion or not.
"What do you mean it's okay?" Alberton was furious, "Wake up Ben Long and come to a thing where it's okay?" you...... Oh good, it's okay. Alberton received a soul crystal and shut up.
"Soul crystals, the more the merrier. After Alberton finished speaking, he calculated how many soul crystals he had: "Except for the hundreds of thousands of soul crystals I gave before, I have ...... now."
Chu Lingxun confirmed that he was not in the illusion and was confused, and now he couldn't figure out what the situation was, but according to what Guo Zhen said, following the map would always avoid a lot of troubles and dangers, not to mention the distance they had already traveled.
"I'm sorry guys, I couldn't find anything wrong. Chu Ling came back to his senses and saw that Zeng Lei and Guo Zhen were both turning their heads to look at him from time to time while walking, obviously attracted curiosity about his previous seemingly discovered behavior.
"Oh so, did you notice anything before?" Zeng Lei asked Chu Lingxun.
"I just sensed that something would change if I didn't follow the path. Chu Lingxun replied half-truthfully, "I wanted to take a closer look at what the changes were, but I didn't have the ability to find out." ”
"Well, that's fine, anyway, we already walked through it once last time, and there's no problem. Guo Zhen said.
