Chapter 165: Caught in a Puzzle
Haixin also frowned and said, "I don't think it's right too, why can't I reach the end after walking for so long?"
Sisshan pushed her glasses, "This castle trap is everywhere, is this endless staircase also a hidden mystery?"
Leo didn't explain or say anything, he flicked his left hand, and the "galaxy" on his arm instantly changed into a spear, and the spear pierced the magic lamp on the wall, leaving a spear hole behind the magic lamp.
"Let's go!" With that, Leo took the lead and continued down the stairs.
Haixin and Sissan, who didn't speak, glanced at each other and quickly followed Leo's footsteps, this time the three of them were significantly faster than before.
Before, he was cautiously going down the stairs at his normal pace, but now he deliberately picked up his speed, almost trotting all the way, running down two or three flights of stairs one step at a time.
When the three of them were out of breath and continued to walk for about twenty minutes or so, the three of them stopped at the same time, and they all looked stunned and bitter.
Haixin bowed down, supported his thighs with his hands, and sighed heavily: "Leo, phew...... ...... by you That's right! It seems, ...... We...... I'm really in the trap......"
Haixin said this because on the wall in front of the three of them at this time, a broken magic lamp was in sight, and this was the first broken magic lamp they encountered from the first time they came down the stairs.
And, in the wall behind the lamp, a hole the thickness of a spear could not be more obvious, and there is no doubt that this ...... It was the lamp that Leo had broken earlier.
Haixin said with a sad face: "Let's go around in a circle?"
"It shouldn't be, it's obviously following a path, and there are no forks in the road at all, how can you get into this trap?"
"Could it be that this road was originally a circle? No, it has always been going down, how can there be steps up?" Haixin slammed his fist against the wall, this staircase was too strange.
At this time, Leo said: "Master Cenario's "Alchemy Array Practice" has recorded some confusing alchemy circles, some of which will create some obscurities on the correct exit, and use people's senses and visual confusion to make people unrecognizable. ”
"There are also some powerful ones that can directly hallucinate in people's minds, and these abilities of the circle, combined with the visual guidance brought by certain specific counters that can attract attention, finally make the person who enters the circle unconsciously unable to walk out, and thus trapped in it. ”
Speaking of which, Leo pointed to the magic lamps on the wall and said, "The light of these magic lamps is not bright, they can't illuminate the entire staircase, they can only make people see the corner of the wall a little distance, have you noticed? Walking in this staircase, you will always walk near the place where there is light, intentionally or unintentionally?"
"Well, when you think about it, it does. Haixin nodded and recalled.
Leo continued, "Let's follow the lights rather than follow the stairs, so I suspect that these magic lamps are a kind of counterpoint that leads to illusions, and we may have unknowingly missed the right path." ”
"Well, there is some truth in what you said, I have heard a lot of legends about trap circles, and this may really be the ones you are talking about. "Qian Shan's alchemy attainments are not shallow, although she doesn't dare to say that she knows all these alchemy things, she has also heard of them.
"Brother Leo is well-read and well-informed, I admire it, I wonder if there is a record of how to deal with this magic circle in that practical book you read?" Haixin admired Leo from the bottom of his heart, he was very knowledgeable in alchemy, and what he learned was not at all comparable to a child in a remote town like himself.
Leo nodded and said: "It is recorded in the book that the walls of the magic circle that are mainly used to confuse the obscuring objects are all coated with paint that can absorb light, as long as you stick to a wall and hold on to the wall to find the difference between the obstruction and the wall, you can find the fork, if there are too many forks, you only need to make another marker." ”
"And the magic circle that is mainly confused by illusion, you must first use magic to break the illusion, the specific cracking method depends on the type of illusion, if you don't have the magic to crack, then you can only find the power crystal of the illusion circle and destroy it......"
After a while......
The three of them touched the side of the staircase without the magic lamp according to Leo's cracking method, and even the wall where the magic lamp was located, but they didn't find any exits or hidden passages.
Haixin was depressed, "There is nothing to cover, is it ...... Is it really an illusion? Can you crack the magic of the illusion circle?"
Leo and Qian Shan shook their heads at the same time, and Haixin sighed, "I have a magic device that can remove my personal anomaly, but I can't do anything about this illusion array. ”
Leo nodded, "It seems that we can only find the eye of this illusion circle and destroy its power crystal." ”
Haixin asked, "The eye of this magic circle should be in this passage, right?"
"Yes, if it's an illusion circle, it's too far away to make any difference. ”
"Okay, then let me try. Hai Xin recited the summoning spell and drew a magic array symbol with his right hand, only to see a magic array flash under his feet, and then countless sharp-toothed demon rats kept running out of the magic array, and the rats moved quickly, scattered along the stairs, and disappeared in front of the three of them in the blink of an eye.
When Haixin summoned the demon mouse, he forgot to say hello to Qian Shan in advance, and when he was summoned, he found that Qian Shan's expression was stunned and shocked.
Haixin was annoyed, thinking that she was a girl's family, and suddenly so many terrifying demon rats appeared out of thin air in front of her, which would definitely make her unable to guard against it, and her own consideration was still not thorough enough.
Haixin was about to apologize to Sissan, but found that Sishan's stunned expression only lasted for a second or two before disappearing.
After talking and explaining, it turned out that Qianshan, who was a golemist, had a lot of contact with various creatures on weekdays, so after being surprised, she quickly returned to her usual steady and calm state, which also made Haixin even more impressed with her.
After a few people waited patiently......
The demon rats returned one after another, they were lying at Haixin's feet and squeaking, but Haixin's face became a little ugly.
He shook his head depressedly and said to Leo and Sishan, "I'm afraid there are no power magic crystals here at all, and these magic rats I summoned have a tenfold more sensitive sense of smell than dogs. ”
"They have a three-dimensional sense of smell, and they can accurately sniff out items buried dozens of meters deep underground, and just now they have searched this passage, and there are no items such as the Monster Crystal Nucleus at all. ”
"Isn't it an illusion circle?" Leo slammed his fist against the wall, he had never had such a difficult problem.
"But ......" At this time, Haixin seemed to remember something again, and he said again: "I found a strange thing. ”
