Chapter 22: Re-entering the Cave (Part 1)

Xiao Nan gently rubbed the gourd pendant and opened the wine cellar.

Lan Xi watched in amazement as he uncovered the secret room step by step and went down to the underground cave.

"Heavenly ...... Anan, how did you do that?" Lan Xi stood in the dark cave, only to feel that it stretched back and forth, and it was so deep and transparent that he didn't know where it led.

Such a secret passage is definitely not a small project.

"Shhhh Xiao Nan whispered cautiously and dragged Lanxi into the depths.

At the moment when they were talking, in a stone house outside the bamboo courtyard, a thin old man suddenly opened his eyes.

His ears twitched, and the ripples of Wu Yuan spread in a circle, as if sensing movement in the distance.

This is the supernatural power "listening". Looking at his performance, the realm is far above Lu Feng.

The thin old man pulled out a blank animal skin and wrote a few words on it with blood. The man in black who was accompanying him immediately took it and left quickly.

After a while, the animal skin was handed to the black-robed man with the dragon head mask, and it was the Qinglong Venerable, the head of the leaders of the Wang Clan's secret guard Quartet.

He glanced at it. It reads: "The situation has changed, and the target is suspected of fleeing." ”

"Guardian Elder Han Shi hasn't gone far yet, don't worry, let's wait a while. Han Shi left for at least three days this time. Two ants, unable to escape the grasp. Qinglong continued to close his eyes and sit still.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Qinglong suddenly opened his eyes, shouted "go", and floated out like smoke.

The nine black-clothed men followed closely behind, converging with the thin old man in the stone house, and walked quickly towards the Xiao Bamboo Courtyard together.

"Venerable, there is no one in the Bamboo Courtyard. ”

A man in black searched around and reported respectfully. Venerable Qinglong nodded silently.

At this moment, another man in black stepped out of the crowd, reached out to the tip of his nose, and sniffed the smell.

This is a magical power "smelling incense", which can smell all kinds of smells, and is as sensitive as the nose of a demon dog.

"Your Holiness, please move. The man reported to Qinglong, walked into the room, and pointed to a floor, "The subordinates followed the trails they left behind, and finally disappeared from here." ”

The Green Dragon Venerable slowly opened his eyes, and two ghostly lights poked out from the dragon's head mask and landed on the floor, as if he could see through the block.

He reached out and slapped it on the ground, and Wu Yuan revealed. The planks turned into flying chips, revealing an entrance.

"Chase!" With the order of Venerable Qinglong, several mermaids rushed in. The pervasive aroma of wine poured into the mouth and nose, making several people's faces intoxicated.

"Good wine!" a man in black couldn't help but cheer. When he saw everyone looking at him, he immediately lowered his head in embarrassment and pretended to start searching.

It was really at this critical juncture that Xiao Nan's omissions were revealed.

When he designed the secret room, he considered more ordinary warriors and sorcerers, doing his best, and corresponding to the virtual and the real, so that the secret passage was not easy to discover.

But who would have expected to meet a perverted master like the Qinglong Venerable for the first time, and with a group of witch cultivators with different magical powers.

Sure enough, after a while, Venerable Qinglong suddenly stomped his feet to the ground. The majestic power of Wu Yuan poured in from the soles of his feet, and exploded violently, directly lifting the roof of the secret room.

The black-clothed man with the magic power of "smelling incense" sniffed lightly and nodded to everyone. Another man in black jumped into the secret room, knocked on all sides to check, and finally found an anomaly.

"Venerable, there is a secret passage underneath!" The black-clothed man who probed ran the Wu Yuan, shaking away the accumulated soil and revealing the bottom plate.

He lifted the floor to reveal a narrow dirt staircase.

"Sanqi, you lead the way in front. ”

Venerable Qinglong gestured to him, and at the same time turned his head sideways to the black-clothed man with the supernatural ability of "smelling incense" and instructed, "Sijiu, you follow him and help guide the way." ”

The two men in black nodded and took the order, and went down to the underground tunnels in turn. Venerable Blue Dragon, the thin old man, and the remaining seven men in black then entered.

"It's not deep, but it's so thick that it seems to be close to a tributary of an underground river. The last man in black muttered.

Humid air blows in.

Several people cultivated profoundly, and they could see in the dark, and quickly chased in the direction where Xiao Nan and Lanxi had fled.

When Xiao Nan walked to a certain place in the dark cave, he suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to stop his mother.

"Anan, what's wrong?" Lan Xi asked puzzled, curious about everything in the dark passage.

"Mother, there is an ancient maze ahead, and Anan is not sure to break through, but this is our only chance of survival. ”

He groaned and looked into the depths of the dark cavern, wondering if he should take this step.

"My mother's cultivation is low, she can't help much, and she is a person who has died once, so she has no fear, it's all up to you. Lan Xiwan smiled, and suddenly sighed slowly, "My family Anan has grown up." ”

She may not realize that this "grown-up" child is only three years old this year.

Xiao Nan threw two marked stones and began to deduce the formation changes.

The chasing soldiers are coming, and at the moment of life and death, he is in a hurry. But the more anxious he became, the more calm he became, hoping to grasp more information before entering the maze.

"Before this change, it was a maze. At that time, it was inferred that it should be a three-dimensional spherical shape, with countless holes in the middle connecting changes. You only need to control the changing tempo and switch, and you can come and go freely. ”

"This is its most conventional form, allowing the ancient tribes of sacrifice to pass safely. But after the change...... None of this could be the same anymore. ”

He sat in front of the maze and pondered, pinched up half a stone and carved it on the ground, and quickly sketched the formation he had once deduced.

"After this change, the situation at the entrance and inside is unknown. However, the path out has changed significantly, and in the past, you only had to walk along the cave to get out, but now it is sealed, and no matter how you go out, you will return to the same place. ”

This illustrates...... The changed formation is not only a maze, but also may be from the perspective of the builder, which can resist the enemy on the outside and resist the change on the inside. Now I just hope it doesn't turn into a killing array, otherwise ......"

He thought about it, his face turned pale, and he couldn't imagine how terrifying the killing array arranged by a Star Venerable was!

At this moment, two stones quietly disappeared in front of him.

Xiao Nan stood up suddenly, a little delighted-

Although the formation has changed, its rhythm does not seem to have changed! This is good news!

He cautiously threw two more stones, observing the subsequent changes, while continuing to depict and deduce on the ground.

He suddenly remembered his previous speculation about the maze.

"Every section of the maze is alive, changing all the time, and there are thousands of possibilities for its free combination.

"It was doomed that from the moment I walked in, it would be impossible to go back to square one. ”

"And the reason why the way out is different, it is likely that this is not a simple sphere maze, but a multi-dimensional sphere.

"For example, it has a parallel labyrinth, as if it were parallel spaces. Even, it's not just spinning every segment, it's probably revolutionizing!"

He had a feeling that he was about to find some kind of pattern.

This formation is extremely large, and the changes are also hierarchical, from simple at the beginning, to gradually complex, and even ...... There are deeper changes.

"Multidimensional sphere...... Parallel Space ...... Rotation...... Revolution...... Yin and Yang Derivation, Qiankun Jiazi...... The virtual and the real are inverted, there is no origin and no end......"

He muttered and drew a few more patterns outside the chaotic spherical diagram, combined with the many contents of "Formation Essence", as if opening up a whole new world.
