Chapter 37: The Labyrinth of Death (4)
Inside the labyrinth passage, in a dead end sealed by spiked spheres.
In the face of sudden difficulties, we seem to be more impetuous. No one had any idea of the dead Fack, just helplessly looking for a way out.
I'm the same myself, I'm no longer calm, just one person who doesn't do anything, just looks at us.
Saphiss knows that the current situation is very bad, but because we have lost the judgment of calming things, we want us to know the state of the road itself through a purposeless search, and then he will appear again, end our helplessness, and work together to find a way out.
It wasn't until two hours later that we didn't find any clues, and at last we all fell down and sat down on the floor, looking very helpless.
Seeing us behaving like this, Saphiss knew it was time for him to come out on his own, so he walked among us and encouraged us. "Don't be so depressed, it's not a mortal situation, it's just trapped, as long as you find a way out, isn't there nothing wrong."
Sitting on the ground, I looked up helplessly at the top of the passage and heard Saphis's words, and then said weakly. "Ah...... So, how do you think we're going to find a way out? We've been looking for so long, and we haven't found anything at all, so how can we find it? ”
The others also agreed with my words, after all, we had been searching together for so long, and the result was just a waste of time and energy, and we didn't find anything, not even a crack or anything like that, so how could we get out of here?
Saphiss saw that everyone had not come out of the blow of being trapped, and was still in a state of depression, and knew that he couldn't go on like this forever, otherwise he would really be trapped here.
Sitting down, Saphiss sighed and said calmly. "I can understand your feelings right now, being trapped here all of a sudden can make anyone feel uneasy, and I am no exception. But you can't be so depressed, you can't do anything like that. I've been watching you all the time, and I've looked around carefully, and there's really nothing out of the ordinary, maybe there's no mechanism here to get out of here. You've forgotten the most important thing, that even though the spiked orb was stuck in the wall and can't move now, and we can't destroy it, there's a possibility that it will restart and fall back into place. ”
The 11 people who sat around Saphis, hearing this, thought about it carefully, and there was indeed such a possibility.
Glancing at the spiked orb that had killed Fack, he retracted his gaze at Saphis, and asked. "There is a possibility, but there is also a possibility that it will come towards us. Since you're not sure what will happen, you're still saying this. ”
"Huh." Saphiss just smiled at this, and then explained to me. "Although it is true that as His Highness said, I am indeed not sure what will happen after the restart, but we only have this direction to think about. After two hours of careful searching, we found nothing, so we had to think in another direction. ”
"This ......," said Saphis, and thought about it, and indeed he could only do it now. If it comes to me, what are we going to do? ”
Saffis pondered my words for a moment, and then replied. "Indeed, if that were the case, it would be the end of total destruction. Your Highness, let's think about it again, what else has not been taken into account. ”
Even if Saffis said this, he could not think of anything for a moment, but now the situation is critical, and we must not end here, and the faith of those dead companions is accepted by us, and we must come out of here, and we must not fail their trust.
Sitting on the floor, I thought carefully about the process after I came in, and the first time the trap appeared, but I had no connection with it, and I couldn't find anything in the center.
I accidentally noticed the spatial ring on the middle finger of my left hand, and I suddenly thought of the gem that suddenly emitted a blue-purple beam of light when I opened the door of the temple, and wondered if it would be useful, so I took the gem out of the ring.
Take out the gem and place it in the palm of your hand to see if there is any way to use it.
I looked through it and found nothing. Just as I was about to call Saphis to discuss it, a bluish-purple beam of light suddenly shot out from the gem in my hand, shining right on the spiky orb.
The sudden occurrence startled everyone, and they all moved towards the end of the dead end in a panic.
"Your Highness, what's going on?" Saphis, who came to my side, asked.
Standing up in a panic, looking at the blue-purple gem in my hand that was still connected by a blue-purple beam of light and a spiked orb, I looked up and replied when I heard Saphis's inquiry. "Saphis, I don't know what to say. I just thought about what happened before entering the temple, so I took out this gem and wanted to confirm my suspicions, but I didn't expect it to be useful. ”
"Oh......" said Saffis excitedly, looking back at the jewel and recalling the scene. It is true that the door of the temple was opened thanks to this gem at that time, so it can be useful for the danger here. ”
In the face of the agitated Saphis, I didn't want to ruin his hopes, so I was equally excited. "Hmmm! Most likely, the rest of the trip will be too peaceful. ”
Seeing that everyone was cheering excitedly, looking like they were all successful, I didn't want to break everyone's hopes, so I looked at this gem and muttered to myself. "It would be great if that were the case, but how could the guy who set up this maze be so kind to leave this flaw, it shouldn't be so easy for us to get through."
Even Saphis, who is usually the calmest, is now like everyone else, and it seems that everything he found after entering this place has also affected him, and he is no longer always calm and composed, and like an ordinary person, he will show all kinds of emotions.
Saphis, who had regained his original state, noticed what I was muttering to myself, and came over to ask. "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
"Ahh Suddenly asked by Saphis, I was startled, calmed down my nervousness, and replied. "No, I'm just thinking about things. Now that there's a reaction, let's see what happens. ”
"Your Highness is right, and the highest priority now is indeed the case."
All of them looked at the spiky orb that sealed the way, wanting to see what had changed.
At this time, the blue light area on the surface of the spiked sphere is gradually decreasing, and if you look at it this way, it will soon be impossible to cover the sphere. The spikes that pierced into the four walls of the passage were slowly retracting, and finally returned to their original length.
The strange sound from the sphere irritates everyone's ears, so that we have to cover our ears tightly to avoid excessive stimulation and cause damage to the ears.
After a few minutes, the strange sound died down, and the spiked orb rolled again, backing the way it came. Seeing this scene, we all cheered with excitement, and finally got out of the predicament and could face our dead companions.
We were in the midst of excitement, and when we saw the miserable corpse of Fack revealed after the spike orb left, it was as if it had been sprinkled with ice water, and we calmed down all of a sudden.
In the face of Fack's corpse, everyone was very uncomfortable.
Seeing that everyone was looking at Fack's corpse, all depressed, I hurried to break the unpleasant atmosphere. "Well, no matter how depressed you are, Fack won't come back. Don't let him down, let's get back on the road. ”
Packing up the relics of Lower Fack, we hit the road back on the road, looking for the exit to the labyrinth.
Back at the fork in the road, a road has been blocked, and we can only choose to go on the right.
Go forward 50 meters, the passage turns to the right, go forward again 50 meters, turn right to the left, another 50 meters, again a fork in the road, left and right, after careful consideration, we chose the right.
Not long after moving forward, there was another fork in the road ahead, forward and right, and this time I chose to move forward. After 80 meters, there was a dead end ahead, and just as we were about to return, the wall in front of us suddenly rose and scared us into running back.
After running for a while, nothing dangerous came behind us, so we stopped, and after waiting for a while, we still didn't see any danger.
After a few minutes, there was still no one, so Saphiss sent someone to check it out.
The man cautiously moved forward, and soon disappeared from our sight. The wait was short, and the man was back quickly, and he looked very excited.
The man said excitedly to us. "There's no danger there, it's just that the original dead end has become a living road, and I don't know where the road leads."
Everyone was very happy to hear the good news.
Saphiss thought about it, and decided to send one more person back to the other way.
The man who had just gone over to check on him hurriedly volunteered to plead. "Please let me check it out."
"Hmm!" Saphiss didn't expect him to do this, after all, it was a very dangerous job, and there was a high probability that it would be fatal. "Excellent! You are very brave, so I'll leave it to you, and remember to come back safely. ”
"Yes, I must remember."
With that, he ran to the fork in the road and began to look at another road.
We waited until he came back alive and told us what was going on there.
Ten minutes later, his figure finally appeared before our eyes. But to our shock, his right hand was missing, and he had multiple wounds on his body.
Seeing that he was injured, we rushed forward to treat him.
Sitting on the ground, being treated, he reported to us. "It's also a dead end, a dead end with traps. As careful as I was, my right hand was cut off by the sudden blue light. The light was so sharp that if I had slowed down, it would have turned into a pile of corpses. ”
"Don't say it, get some rest."
Let him stop talking too much and concentrate on the treatment.
Now we have before us only to move towards the new road, the back road is closed, the road ahead is unknown, I really don't know how far the road will have to go to find the exit.
There were 14 people when I came in, but now I have 2 dead and 1 injured, so I don't know how many people will be there when I get out, so I'm really worried.
