Chapter 697: Treasure
The route map of the maze is very complicated, and even with Zhou Wen's memory, it took a long time to memorize the road map.
In addition to the complexity of the labyrinth, it is also because the labyrinth is constantly changing, and the degree of change is far more complex than the limit of what ordinary humans can imagine.
To memorize these road maps, you not only need to remember the route, but also need to cooperate with some formulas, and when the time comes, you will really get lost, not by remembering the road by brain, but by using the formula with the road map to calculate the way out.
Zhou Wen spent a lot of time in this regard, just in case, Zhou Wen worked hard.
Two days later, Zhou Wen and An Sheng came to an inconspicuous field, which was originally a corn field, but the place was too remote, and after the storm in another dimension, due to its influence, there was also a change here.
The corn here grows extremely tall, like a big tree, and the corn on it is bigger than a human head, and the kernels are golden and transparent.
And since that dimensional storm, the corn here has not withered, and it has been growing.
The entrance to the labyrinth was in the cornfield, and An Tianzuo and An Sheng were chased by a mythical forbidden creature who fled in a hurry, and in a panic, they fled into this cornfield, and finally fell into the maze, and thus escaped.
It was there that An Tianzuo obtained his first mythical companion pet.
An Sheng wandered around the cornfield for a while, and finally found a place, and used a shovel to cut the soil from the ground, revealing a metal plate.
The metal plate was lifted, revealing an ancient well underneath.
Anson patted the dirt on his hands and said, "Later, the Overseers and I disguised this place so that no one else would stray into it. One is to prevent the treasure chest from being opened by others, and the other is to prevent humans from falling into it, and it is impossible to get out of such a complicated labyrinth, and then it will be a dead end. ”
"Young Master Wen, you must follow me closely after you go down, and you must not make a mistake. An Sheng said another word, and then went down the well.
Zhou Wen followed An Sheng down the ancient well, there was still water under the ancient well, An Sheng dived down, not much deep, there was a horizontal passage.
Soon, two men passed through the underwater passage and appeared in a boxy stone room.
An Sheng led Zhou Wen through the stone room, and each stone room here looked exactly the same, and there was almost no difference.
Moreover, in every stone room, there are six exits, front and back, left and right, and up and down, there are exits, and normal people can't go far in it, and they will get lost in it.
What's more, the stone houses here will move on their own, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to get out than to climb to the sky.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there are no dimensional creatures in this labyrinth, they just need to identify the path and make sure they don't get lost.
An Sheng walked and stopped, calculating something from time to time, and it took him three or four hours to finally find a treasure chest with Zhou Wen.
This stone house is a little special because this stone house does not have an exit below, and there is a stone chest in the place where it should be the exit below.
Different from the treasure chest inlaid with gold and silver in Zhou Wen's imagination, this is an ordinary stone chest, and it doesn't look unusual.
"The treasure chests here are very peculiar, one person can only open three treasure chests, and if there are more than three, even if you bombard it with all your might, it will be difficult to move it at all. Based on our previous experience, it is possible that the chest is empty, or it may contain companion eggs, dimensional crystals, and some strange items, all of which are extradimensional items. Ansheng said.
Zhou Wen stepped forward, reached out and pressed the lid of the treasure chest, lifting it up.
There is no golden light, and there is no treasure overflowing, and there is only a palm-sized crystal hourglass in a huge box.
"What is this, and what is the use?" Zhou Wen took out the hourglass from the treasure chest and put it in his hand to look at it.
I saw that the sand in the hourglass was slowly flowing from one end to the other.
The sand is a kind of white sand, not the usual yellow sand, and it looks more delicate.
"It's possible that anything strange in the treasure chest is useful, and it's hard to say if it's useful, but maybe this hourglass will have some effect. Ansheng said.
Zhou Wen nodded, and was about to put away the hourglass, but found something strange.
Because it was going to be put in the backpack, Zhou Wen turned the hourglass sideways, and the strange thing was that when the hourglass came over, the sand did not stop, and it was still falling to the other end.
"Strange!" Zhou Wen picked up the hourglass and looked at it again, and saw that the sand was flowing sideways, completely contrary to the laws of physics.
Zhou Wen turned the hourglass upside down, and the sand that was supposed to flow below actually flowed upstream, without the intention of falling at all, and it looked extremely weird.
"This hourglass is really a bit unusual!" Zhou Wen fiddled with the hourglass with some curiosity, no matter how the hourglass was placed, the sand inside stubbornly flowed in the same direction.
But other than that, there is nothing particularly magical, Zhou Wen injected vitality, and it has no effect on the hourglass, it seems that it is a vitality insulator.
Seeing that the hourglass had no special effect, Zhou Wen put it in his backpack and continued to look for other treasure chests with An Sheng.
During the time they stayed here, the location of the stone house changed again, and An Sheng kept calculating, and after calculating, he continued to walk with Zhou Wen.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhou Wen suddenly heard a dinging sound, like the sound of an electric oven resetting at a regular time.
Zhou Wen and An Sheng were both startled, and then found that the sound came from the backpack.
Zhou Wen opened the backpack with a strange expression, there were no mechanical items in it, and there were no clocks or anything like that.
Zhou Wen suddenly found that the sand in the hourglass had leaked, and all the sand had gone to another hollow.
"Could it be that the voice just now came from it?" Zhou Wen felt that there seemed to be no other possibility besides that.
Looking left and right repeatedly, the hourglass did not cause anything to happen except that it began to flow in reverse.
Putting the hourglass back in their backpacks, the two of them continued to walk, but as soon as they stepped into the next stone house, they suddenly found a light in the stone house.
All the stone houses that Zhou Wen and the others walked through before were the same, there was no difference, and there were no carvings or anything like that on the walls.
But now, on the wall of this stone house, there is a mural similar to a phoenix, which is still radiating light, as if it is about to come to life.
Just when the phoenix mural lit up, all the passages in the stone house were automatically closed.
