Chapter 337: Labyrinth
"How many forks are there here, how come we haven't reached the real location after walking for so long!" Lin Mo frowned as he saw that the rocks around him hadn't changed much.
There was about a stick of incense when they entered the cave, but Shen Long and the others were facing a series of forks in the road. Whenever this is the case, it's natural to find the little one to help. Where the treasure is, then the destination is naturally there, so it is always the little one who leads the way, and all the people follow behind.
I guess according to this method, I can find the treasure very quickly, or at least I should leave these messy forks. However, after such a long walk, not much has changed, which inevitably raises suspicions. Shen Long's brows furrowed slightly. When he came to this cave, he felt that there was not much danger, and Shen Long did not go any further.
After all, Shen Long's main purpose was to find Gu Shun and the others. After all, there are many dangers in secret environments. Several people did not have enough strength to defend themselves. Shen Long was afraid of any accidents. And the cave here has the guidance of the little guy, so it should be able to get twice the result with half the effort, but when I really came, I found that it was not so simple.
"There are no traces of the array around. These tunnels are real objects. Gu Shun looked around, wondering if the effect of the array was stopping people from advancing. Now it seems that it is clearly not.
"Bao Xiao, are you lazy?"
Liu Jin touched the little guy's head and said, the little guy raised his head suspiciously, waved his arms, and pointed forward. The meaning is obvious, the path is right, it does not mean wrong.
"Keep walking, watching. It's not too late anyway. Shen Long said, suddenly footsteps sounded, Shen Long looked at the top of the tunnel, his eyes fixed on a position. Not much different from other gables, the only difference may be that there are subtle marks.
Others may not react when they see such traces, but Shen Long is different. Therefore, this kind of mark can only be cut with the blade of a knife, while Shen Long has the meaning of a knife and has the intuitive ability to distinguish the marks drawn by this weapon. Knife marks appear here. Shen Long has always believed that this is a natural cave. Now it seems that things are not so simple.
Of course, it is also possible that the marks on the knife were left by the yogis who originally came in. However, it's okay to leave a knife mark on the top of the mountain. The likelihood is too low.
"What's wrong?" the others looked over.
"It's nothing" Shen Long shook his head and continued to walk forward with the crowd. However, with the impression of smearing knife marks, Shen Long couldn't help but pay more attention to the surrounding gables. But with such observations, Shen Long actually found some differences. These seemingly naturally formed tunnels vaguely contain many traces of hand-cutting.
The other Shen Long might not be able to see it, but Shen Long could clearly see the things that were obviously hit with the blade. There must have been a lot of people digging around to form this scale. But who has the leisure to dig such a tunnel, and there is treasure in it.
Who is more terrible, the yogi or the monster? This kind of thing is not conclusive, because the comparison is different, and the conclusion is not different. Compared to the positive destructive power, the natural monsters of the same kind are better. But sometimes, the yogi's fears are more reflected in his intrigues.
There should be traces of man-made here, and Shen Long's heart is not very vigilant. At least, it's not as easy as it was when I used to come, and I'm always on my toes for possible dangers. Shen Long's state seemed to have affected several Gusun people, making them look even more serious than before.
"Haha!"
After burning incense again, the little one suddenly cried loudly, very loudly in the quiet corridor. Shen Long looked up and saw the light in front of him, which contrasted sharply with the dimly lit environment of the corridor. Liu Jin couldn't help but smile on the faces of several people, there is light, there should be different changes.
A few steps out of the tunnel, a huge platform appeared in front of everyone. Here, the artificial traces are already obvious, because in the center of the platform, there is a stone tablet, but there is no text on it, it is empty, and on the platform, except for this stone tablet, nothing can be seen in the sky, leisurely empty.
The crowd looked around with some confusion, and behind the tunnel, it turned out to be such a place, which was somewhat unexpected to them. I'm afraid the only thing special here is the stone tablet, especially since there is no text on it. As they stepped forward, Shen Long touched the stele, which was only made of ordinary rocks, and was made of the same material as the surrounding mud and rocks.
"Can you still feel the location of the treasure?"
Shen Long turned his head to look at the treasure hunting mouse. The little guy moved his nose and nodded affirmatively. His little finger points to the back of the stele. There was only one hole in the cave, so he wanted to continue his downward position.
"Do you feel in danger?" Shen Long continued, Shen Long himself did not feel any danger, but there was a feeling of unease around her. This uneasiness is more likely to be the result of the unknown, after all, the scene in front of us is somewhat unusual.
The little one shook his head, and finally shook his head. Shen Long smiled and rubbed the little guy's hair. The little one squealed in displeasure and shook his head vigorously, and his somewhat messy hair returned to normal.
"Go on. Gu Shun said that it is naturally impossible to go out like this, not to mention how many people are piled up outside now, what danger will there be when going out like this. It would be too cowardly to go to such a precious place empty-handed.
Shen Long nodded, threw the little guy on his shoulder, and walked towards the cave. As usual, the tunnel felt exactly the same when it came, making Shen Long suddenly feel as if he had returned to his previous place. This applies not only to Shen Long, but also to Huang Yang and others. The length of these tunnels is unimaginable, which inevitably leads to hallucinations.
Faced with various forks in the road, Shen Long and the others didn't need to choose, just followed the footsteps of the treasure hunting mouse. This is the easiest. Although there are some superstitions, this superstition is certainly well-founded.
In a static environment, the concept of time can easily be overlooked, especially in such a gloomy environment. Maybe it's a long period of incense, or maybe it's half a day, when all the people are walking behind, they even lose a lot of words, and there seems to be a mysterious atmosphere around them that oppresses all of them.
This environment is most likely to breed strange emotions and negative emotions. Shen Long's heart shook suddenly, and the whole person suddenly came to his senses, and all negative emotions were swept away. Shen Long turned his head to look at Huang Yang and the others, Gu Shun didn't have much of a problem, and the expressions of Huang Yang and the three of them were a little strange.
"I can't help but become strong at the sixth order, will this affect everyone below the sixth order?" Shen Longxin guessed, the knife swept out, and Liu Jin's expressions suddenly shocked, and their eyes became clear again. In essence, the Divine Dragon is still a fifth-order vein opening repair. At the moment, he has not compressed the real yuan, so he is also brought by emotions. Luckily, having a knife can go a long way in preventing negative emotions from affecting yourself.
"Why?"
Gu Shun swept out towards the Shen Long Knife, but found that several people were abnormal, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Because the light was dim, and there was not even any light, so that Gu Shun had already noticed the difference. Of course, the main thing is that Huang Yang and the others are just a little bit of the situation at the moment, but Gu Shun didn't notice it.
"There's something strange here. The content doesn't seem easy to accept. ”
Although Shen Long was smiling, his eyes were solemn. There seem to be some alarmists, but they are only extremely worried because they have walked such a short distance. However, as the saying goes, falling leaves know autumn. A lot of times, a little thing can reflect a lot of things, like the present.
It seems that due to the influence of what happened just now, the speed of people's progress did not increase, and soon, there was a little light ahead. The crowd watched cautiously and slowly approached, but the result was beyond the expectations of several people.
A huge platform, a stone monument stands abruptly in the middle of the platform, almost nothing. Isn't this the scene where they left just now, and now they are coming back around. Shen Long walked to the stone stele, it was empty, and the feeling of touching it was the same as before, just an ordinary stone.
"Labyrinth?" Liu Jin said with a frown, already a little suspicious when he walked through the previous fork in the road. Looking at this place now, it seems that only this explanation makes sense.
But just now they followed the treasure hunt rat, and the basis of the treasure hunt rat's advance is the breath of treasure, how could they come back in a circle, this is incredible. In addition, they didn't feel like they were taking a detour before. In general, they should keep moving forward.
Of course, it is also possible that people have made some mistakes in judgment because of the special effects of tunnels. They apparently took a detour, but did not find something of their own.
"Haha!"
The little guy looked around and cried strangely. I moved my nose, and the feeling of the treasure was still ahead, or in the hole behind the stone tablet, there was nothing wrong with this feeling.
"Senior, what do you think?" Shen Long turned to Gu Shun and said that there was no one here who could compare to Gu Shun in terms of experience.
"Keep walking, isn't it a maze, go a few more times." Gu Shun pondered, judging from the current situation, although it looks like a maze, it often does, which does not necessarily mean that it must be.
Shen Long nodded, and Liu Jin and the others had no opinion. The worst will only erupt from here, unless a mountain weighs on people's heads. If so, then they really don't have much to say. However, there was no need for such experiments. Do this only when there is really no way out.
Keep following the little ones, this time everyone will speed up, and no one wants to stay in this tunnel as long as they are safe enough. It took a much shorter time than before, and a little bit of light appeared in front of me, and what appeared in front of everyone when I stepped into the light was a blank stone tablet.
"Keep walking!" Gu Shun said in a deep voice without hesitation. There was no better way, the crowd nodded, and the little one was full of suspicion. He didn't understand why he was going to take a detour when he relied on the breath of the treasure.
Now the scavenger rat is smart enough to think about a lot of things. They're not as stupid as they were back then. They don't want anything. I don't want to do too much harm, but there are some benefits. Now that I think about it more, I have a lot of natural strengths, but also some bad things, such as doubting myself.
The fourth stele appeared in front of everyone, the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh!
The dull atmosphere in the tunnels of the cave seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, I don't know if it was a hallucination, but when the seventh blank stone tablet appeared, the mood of several people couldn't help but change. It seems that they are really trapped in the labyrinth, otherwise how could they have walked to the same place seven times in a row?
If ordinary people encounter such a situation, I am afraid they will go crazy. Of course, Shen Long's few people are not crazy, but they will also aggravate the negative emotions in their hearts. However, this emotion is not attached to the outside world, but comes from the depths of the heart. If you want to dispel it, you can't solve it with a few shakes of Shen Long's knife. Even Shen Long himself was frowning at the moment.
"What should I do?" asked Liu Jin.
Shen Long didn't answer, the current situation is a bit complicated. The fork in the road that the little one used to choose has changed every time. There are no rules. It depends on how the little one feels about the treasure. They didn't feel any obvious detours, but in this way, they still continued to return to the starting point.
The little guy is not happy at the moment. He could clearly feel the treasure in front of him, but he had been walking for so long, and it was still like this. The little guy felt that he was getting closer and closer to the treasure, but the sight in front of him told him that it was a detour, and he could not find a suitable place.
If it were in the past, no matter what the scene in front of him was, this little guy would definitely take a black path to the end. But now I think about it a lot, and I don't have the stubbornness or stupidity of the past.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The little guy banged on the ground angrily. At the current level of level 5, although the fists are small, the attacks are amazing, even more powerful than most level 5 monsters. Several holes had been struck in the ground, cracks had crawled out, and dust was flying everywhere.
When Shen Long and the others are in trouble, another cave is likely to suffer a disaster.
The six levels of the strong cloud, with at least ten of the six levels in the back, are undoubtedly very powerful in scale. I think even if I encounter any danger, I can still get out of it blindly. However, it's not that simple. Upon entering this cave, more than a dozen of the dead yogis alone were injured.
The vast majority of them were practitioners of the fifth-order pulse opening technique, while the sixth-order powerhouses were the most injured. It can be said that it was easy to destroy a sect as populous as the Shitian Sect, but now it is deadly.
Laws, all sorts of fantastic laws, and some unexpected pitfalls. This combination gives these treasure hunters a lot of power. Previously, everyone thought it was a natural cave, but it was only here that they realized that this was not the case.
They now feel as if they are storming into the lair of a large sect. While no yogi jumped out to fight them, the feeling of fighting the formation at any time was just as bad.
There are also legal gurus in the crowd, and it is because of the presence of these legal gurus that the death toll is controlled, otherwise it will only be more serious. After entering the cave, everyone was shunted due to the fork in the road. They have chosen their own path forward, so there is no doubt that they have much less power.
"Boom!"
With an explosion, Yue Ziling stood in the void, and a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Demon Beast in front of her spread out, revealing the scene behind her. Since entering this cave, such attack arrays have appeared one after the other and are able to form here. If an ordinary yogi encounters him, he may encounter a lot of dangers. However, Yue Ziling's strength was very high, and these formations did not have much effect.
I don't know if it's because no one has been caring for it for a long time, the power of the array here is a lot, and it hasn't reached its true limit yet. That is, many arrays are defective due to disrepair.
Yue Ziling waved his hand, and the whirlwind swept away the smoke in front of him. A ball of green light flew up, and Yue Ziling's body moved, grabbing it in her hand. A sixth-order shaker, from a fluctuating point of view, it is a sixth-order mid-quality shaker with extraordinary qualities. The foundation of the array that had just been laid out was presided over by this spiritual device.
"Who wants these things?"
Yue Ziling turned his head to look at his allies, such a thing would not have much impact on Yue Ziling today. Yue Ziling's main purpose in coming to the secret realm was to collect enough spiritual information so that he could break through to the realm of moving mountains to the seventh level. If we can really get to this level, we will have several, ten, or even dozens of times what we have now. Therefore, Yue Ziling's focus now is around this, and the others don't care.
Giving someone such a magic weapon can actually strengthen relations between allies. Either way, it's useless. Strengthening friendships is not good. You can take advantage of others when you really need them.
"Then what's embarrassing, it was Brother Ziling's hand just now. We are not qualified to claim it. ”
"Yes, it's extraordinary. Brother Yue should take it himself. ”
"I think so too. ”。
Several other people were very polite, but Yue Ziling shook his head, he still didn't like this matter, and more importantly, Yue Ziling understood what he said just now, but it was just the politeness of these people. The sixth-order goblet was useless to him, and it was useless to anyone else.
Sure enough, seeing Yue Ziling's insistence, the others had smiles on their faces, and the last few people discussed the main points. Yue Ziling chuckled lightly and turned to look into the distance. At that time, the array with magic weapons must have been successful here. Yue Ziling became more and more interested in this.
