Chapter 20: A Chance Encounter in the Cave (Part 1)

"It's probably a spherical labyrinth...... Countless active channels vary on the spherical surface.

"It has at least eight nodes, and each node is a separate journey between them. They rotate and change along the axis, forming an infinite number of possibilities.

"So no matter how I walk, I always go around the surface of the sphere and go back to the beginning! It's like a closed toy ball in my previous life, full of complex holes, but I can use a thread to go in from one end and out from the other!"

The more he analyzed, the more sure Xiao Nan was. Although he didn't understand the mysteries of cultivation in this world, he felt that the maze model that he had analyzed with the methods of his previous life was not unreasonable.

"The labyrinth is complex and massive, and there may only be one entrance and exit. And the axis of the sphere is here and at four thousand eight hundred paces!"

He frowned and gave a conclusion, but sighed with a wry smile.

"It's a pity that it's one thing to know, it's another thing to crack. It is even more difficult to find the only entrance and exit from this living cave and from the countless combinations of changing passages than to ascend to the sky!

"Even if I find all the nodes, I have to deduce and change one by one to find the exit. With my current dry food, I will never survive until then, and I will be starved to death. ”

Perhaps, there is another way. He pulled a short dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the wall.

"Dig through the main passage between the axis and the equator, destroy the entire spherical structure, and break the mysterious barrier between the passages. In this way, the probability of encountering the exit will be far greater than that of appearing. Just ......"

The short dagger pierced the stone wall, slashed twice, and felt like it was pierced into the river, although the stone wall was cut into a few cracks, but the front end of the crack was slowly closed, and it was repaired as before in a blink of an eye.

"Sure enough...... It's a living cave. It's not just a labyrinth, it's a maze. At that time, it was impossible for the people who set up the formation to not consider the possibility of being brute-forced, so he arranged the maze to repair itself. ”

"Unless you are far more cultivated than the Array Person, all acts of destruction will not work, only simple actions such as carving walls will be effective. ”

Despite this, Xiao Nan still held on to a bit of luck and walked to the equator of 2,400 steps. He stabbed his dagger at the stone wall.

In the darkness, the cave seemed to shake slightly, and everything changed, as if nothing had changed.

He held the dagger diagonally, as if it were piercing a strange film, and slowly paused before stabbing out quickly.

Just a white shadow flashed, and Xiao Nan abruptly put away the dagger.

The sharp tip of the dagger rested against a piece of white skin. The skin can be blown and broken, spilling a little blood, with a fresh body fragrance like a virgin.

Dressed in white, with a slender waist, a pair of beautiful eyes quietly staring at the child holding a dagger against his neck. The fear in the pupils did not dissipate, and slowly contracted.

"You...... Is it a human or a ghost?"

The girl in white suddenly fell into the unknown labyrinth, and saw a strange boy who had put a dagger against her neck.

She didn't even scream in fright, but gradually calmed down, and asked in as calm a tone as possible with her eyes wide open.

Xiao Nan was stunned at this time, although he knew that this was likely to be a living labyrinth that was constantly changing.

But he didn't expect it to be so coincidental that when a short passage in the labyrinth changed, he happened to meet Meng Yao, who was looking for treasures.

What's even more coincidental is that the dagger he stabbed out happened to be against Meng Yao's neck!

"Don't be afraid, I'm a human, not a ghost. ”

Xiao Nan hesitated, and finally explained: "I know you, and you may remember me." In the wrought iron mill of the Nanli tribe, you once bought a soft whip. ”

"Wrought Iron Mill...... Soft whip ......" Meng Yaomei's eyes widened slightly, and after a little thought, she immediately remembered the thin boy playing at the door of the wrought iron workshop, looking at his appearance, she was delicate and cute, and she was the same as in front of her.

"It turned out to be you...... But why are you here?"

The so-called abnormal things must be different, she and Lu Feng found them according to the treasure map, and they also encountered many dangers such as the red-eyed poisonous lizard and the dark ghost bat.

She couldn't figure out what a half-old child could do, so he walked into the labyrinth deep in the treasure, and instead of staying in the Nanli tribe in the middle of the night, he appeared in a cave deep in the mountains.

"I know you don't believe me. It's just that I am me, just like you, for adventure. Xiao Nan knew that he didn't say treasure hunting, but adventure.

After all, once some things are broken, they may not be a good thing. This is not a safe place to abide by the law.

"Can the dagger be released?" Meng Yao frowned and looked at him suspiciously.

Her frowning appearance was more delicate than usual, looking pitiful, which made Xiao Nan can't help but feel a wave in her heart.

What a beautiful girl with a beautiful national color!

"I'm sorry, I can't trust you, just like you can't trust me. Xiao Nan suppressed the idea of moving, suddenly shook his head, and refused coldly.

He reached into his arms with his left hand and took out a black pill and stuffed it into Meng Yao's mouth.

"This is the secret poison of Tai'an Kingdom, if you can't get my unique antidote within three days, you will completely lose your mind and become a walking corpse, slaughtered by others, no different from death. ”

Meng Yao frowned, although he was unwilling to swallow it, but unfortunately he was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

The entrance of the pill was filled with an earthy smell, damp and cold, as if it was about to corrode the internal organs together, so filthy that she couldn't help but want to vomit.

Xiao Nan finally withdrew the dagger.

"My name is Meng Yao and I am from the Biqi tribe. I can promise that I will not move you for three days, but I will protect you. Can we be honest with each other now?"

Meng Yao stood up against the wall, and found that the boy's height was as tall as his thighs, and he should not be more than three or four years old. The thought that she had been planted in the hands of a three-year-old child made her teeth itch with hatred.

"Xiao Nan, Nanli tribe. ”

He was reluctant to speak more, and continued to experiment on the stone wall, leaving Meng Yao with the impression of being withdrawn and silent.

The dagger was cut into the stone wall, and the fracture slowly healed, as if the muscles of the human body were repairing a traumatic injury.

"It's a labyrinth, it's so complicated that I can't crack it. Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, Meng Yao said to herself.

Xiao Nan kept experimenting with the state of the wall.

Meng Yao watched quietly, thinking that he was trapped here, and the ghost spirit grass that saved his father was still far away, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Come with me. Xiao Nan glanced at her, tried to restrain the attractiveness of her appearance, and said indifferently.

Meng Yao pouted and wanted to refuse, but when he heard his next sentence, he hurriedly followed.

"You'd better keep up with me, or you'll probably disappear here the next moment, reappearing in a strange place. ”

After a while, the two of them returned to the broken ghost spirit grass mural. This is the axis of the sphere labyrinth, only here and the opposite end remain the same.

However, Meng Yao's appearance made Xiao Nan begin to suspect that this place is not immutable, or that there is more than one such pivot point.

Otherwise, with the movement of Meng Yao and Lu Feng, he would stay at the pivot point most of the time, and the two sides should have met earlier.
