Chapter 69: A Strange Labyrinth
On both sides of the cave were clumps of shrubs, and the overgrown weeds grew almost to Zhibei's ankles. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But unlike the vigor outside, at the entrance of the cave, the vitality is abruptly cut off, not to mention the vegetation, and even the light can hardly cross the invisible boundary. It is precisely because even the oblique sunlight cannot enter the cave that there are no plants in the cave.
The pitch-black mouth of the cave is like a demon's mouth, giving people an eerie feeling - as if it will never be returned.
"Good! Let's go~" Cuixiang was not afraid, and stepped into the hole, not so much that she was very brave, but that her heartlessness was completely the nemesis of all strange environments.
"Hey, hey, it's interesting~" Yongyi laughed excitedly twice and followed Cuixiang into the cave.
At this time, Zhibei stood in place for a while, looking at the side quest he had just received.
[Hidden Branch: Wandering Ghosts]
Brief description: There is a huge secret in the labyrinth you are about to enter, please lead the two future ghost kings to successfully escape and survive!
Task tip: Density.
Rewards: Elf Level +20, [Body of God] Level Increase
Quest Punishment: Lose a gold finger at random.
Of course, Zhibei took this task, although the punishment of the task was very heavy, but now that he is going to enter this labyrinth, doesn't he have to come out? Is he going to be trapped inside? There was no conflict between the mission and his purpose.
After taking over this branch, Zhibei raised his head slightly, only to find that Yongyi and Cuixiang, who had just entered the cave, were gone, and there was only darkness as deep as space in his sight.
"Hey, Yongyi, Cuixiang!" Zhibei, who screamed, didn't hear any response, he immediately frowned, although he knew that this cave was strange, but the development of the situation was still beyond his expectations.
Called out Meng from the Poke Ball, Zhibei asked her to use the [Future Prediction] first, with the increase of the mysterious slate, Moe's [Future Prediction] is not only a means of attack, but also barely understands some future attributes.
"Auspicious or fierce?"
"Big murderer!" Moe exclaimed in her girlish voice.
Zhibei's face suddenly changed, he took Meng's hand and rushed into the cave, although such a future is very dangerous, but Zhibei can't leave Yongyi and Cuixiang inside.
He and Moe rushed into the dark cave, and as they crossed the line that separated light and darkness, they were all hooked.
Unlike the darkness of the imagination, which is impossible to see, the inside of the wonderful cave is brighter than the outside.
In the cave is a short corridor, and on both sides of the corridor are covered with transparent unknown ores, which emit a dazzling orange light, which makes Zhibei and Moe, who were still walking in the dark jungle just now, squint their eyes a little uncomfortably.
"This place is really weird!" There was no longer Yongyi and Cuixiang in front of Zhibei, and behind him was a deep darkness, and the outside scenery could not be seen from the inside of the cave, just like the inside of the cave could not be seen from the outside.
Zhibei couldn't help but summon the [Mysterious Slate], and with the help of the Mysterious Slate, he sensed the mysterious power around him, and walked forward with Meng and walked up the stairs along the only road.
It was a spiral staircase with I don't know how many steps, and Zhibei and Moe were sandwiched between two walls, and only narrow and repeated stairs could be seen, of course, this seemed to be infinitely upward, and the transparent stones that emitted orange light were still on both sides of the staircase, the only difference was that there were some strange statue paintings carved on these stones on both sides of the staircase.
At this time, Zhibei, who observed carefully, realized that it was not the ore itself that emitted orange-red light, but light shining from the inner space of the stone, and the builder chiseled these transparent stones very thinly so that those lights could shoot out from behind the stones. In these statues, the thickness of the stone creates a difference in light transmittance, which creates an excellent light and shadow effect, but Zhibei still has difficulty understanding what the paintings are trying to express.
There are demons dancing around the fire, others fighting strange birds on the top of the mountain, and still others bowing down before a two-horned demon......
What are they trying to say? A story? However, there is very little connection between the pictures, and many of the pictures are so strange that people don't know what they are drawing.
"Moe, can you sense how many stairs there are?"
"No, there's a force here that limits my perception, and this place is quiet, but it's very disturbing!" As a PokΓ©mon of emotions, Chirulian has a very keen perception of emotions, and when she said this, Zhibei also felt that something was wrong.
In the quiet staircase, it seemed that some monster was whispering, roaring frantically - it was a mysterious sound that directly reflected the spiritual world, making Zhibei feel that his mind was very peaceful, but in fact, irritability had been suppressing his body.
Enduring the mania of wanting to vent and tearing things, after a long trek, Zhibei and Meng finally walked out of a door and walked out of the endless upward stairs.
In front of them was a semicircular floating platform, beyond which was an abyss hung with cold wind, and on the opposite side of the platform, opposite the door from Zhibei, was the same door, and on either side of the door were walls that stretched endlessly.
Although Zhibei did not go inside, he guessed that this huge building connected by a floating platform was probably the huge labyrinth that Cuixiang said.
What made Zhibei happiest was that he met Yongyi and Cuixiang here.
"Why are you so slow! We've all been waiting for you for a day! Cui Xiang, who was still holding her small wine gourd, spread her legs, sat on the ground, and complained to Zhibei who appeared.
And Yongyi, who was sitting cross-legged beside Cuixiang and holding her wine bowl, smashed a knife on Cuixiang's head and taught, "How to talk to Cuixiang, how many times have I told you, it doesn't matter to me, but Brother Zhibei is my brother who worships the handle, you give me some respect!" β
"It's okay, Yongyi, it's good to talk like this!" Zhibei didn't mean to be angry at all.,It's not because Cuixiang is a cute Lori (really?) Rather, because his focus is on another thing, "You say you've been waiting for me for a day, what's going on?" β
"Don't get used to this little ghost! Cuixiang, this guy is not big or small! However, we do feel that we have been waiting for almost a day, is there anything wrong, Brother Zhibei? Yongyi asked curiously.
"But I only feel like I've been walking for three or four hours, do I feel confused?" Zhibei looked up at the building that was so magnificent that he couldn't even see it all, and asked, "Cuixiang, is this the huge labyrinth you said?" β
"Uh-huh!" Cuixiang nodded, "I went in last time, and I almost couldn't go back the way I came, it's super scary inside!" β
"Ah...... However, such a large building doesn't look like it was built in the mountains! I think it's completely breaking the mountain! Scratching his hair in annoyance, Zhibei said, "Moreover, I have just walked up for so long, how can I say that I have almost reached the top of the mountain, can I still accommodate such a huge labyrinth?" No matter how you look at it, it's a little wrong! β
"Huh...... Brother Zhibei, are you going up? Yongyi's beautiful burgundy eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "I'm going all the way down!" β
"I'm going to the left all the time!" Suika held up her gourd and added.
Zhibei frowned vigorously.
"The feeling of confusion, this place, it's so interesting!"
