Chapter 148: Huangquan Road
When they reached the end of the stone steps, they found that there was no road ahead, and a bottomless abyss cut their path.
This technique of not playing cards according to the routine has silenced all of them, and there is no way ahead, how can this pass?
"Could there be an invisible bridge here? It's just that we can't see it. Xia Jiang quickly suggested a possibility.
Everyone was shocked, there is indeed a possibility, many TV series have been filmed like this, so they quickly looked for the tools at hand and began to test the endless abyss ahead.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they tried, no bridge appeared, and this was an out-and-out abyss, and the road ahead had been cut off.
Jiang Yi stood on the edge, staring at the pitch-black abyss below, a powerful yin wind blew from below, this yin wind blew his clothes dance, and his blood slowly cooled down.
"Xia, let me ask for something!" After staring for a moment, Jiang Yi suddenly asked.
"What's wrong?" Xia Jiang walked over.
"Can such a strong wind hold up our bodies?" Jiang Yi pointed to the yin wind that kept blowing out of the abyss and asked.
"This ...... It needs to be measured, there is this possibility! Xia Jiang's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly understood how to pass this level.
So I watched his performance, and you can see that he keeps taking out some strange props and throwing them into the abyss, and then lying on the ground, quickly calculating a series of complex calculations.
Jiang Yi and the others did not urge, but returned to the original vacant sculpture, and looked carefully, the Mo Fei in Jiang Yi's hand would make a buzzing sword sound when he approached this position, it was certain that this was the place where the Nightmare Emperor Beast fled in the first place.
In this way, everything is connected, no wonder how entangled the Purgatory Thunder Lord was when he saw them everywhere, and said that the Nightmare Emperor Beast was a traitor to Purgatory, and now it seems that there is indeed such a thing, but just escaping is considered a traitor, isn't this too far-fetched?
Jiang Yi dragged his chin and pondered, he didn't have a scientific mind like Xia Jiang, all he could do was to be meticulous and big, and keep thinking about the truth behind it. He believed that this information would never be useless, and that it would definitely be directly related to their later missions.
……
"I'm untied, come back soon!" Xia Jiang looked up with surprise on his face, but found that only Guan Chaohai stayed here to accompany him, and the rest of the people were gone, so he hurriedly sent a message to greet him.
After getting the information, Jiang Yi and the others did not hesitate, they went back directly, and returned to the cliff again, Xia Jiang was turning back and walking there, looking very anxious, seeing them coming back, he hurriedly ran over, and said quickly: "The yin wind blowing up from below is not fixed, it is strong and weak, but I have measured that every ten minutes there will be a particularly strong yin wind blowing up from below, we want to pass, we must use this yin wind, and then rely on the displacement of the skill to quickly rush to the opposite bank, the whole process is only one minute." ”
"How long is it until the next wind blows?" Jiang Yi asked.
"One minute left!" Xia Jiang glanced at the time and replied.
"Ready!"
A minute later, everyone standing on the cliff felt a ghost crying wolf howl in their ears, and then, an incomparably powerful air flow rushed up from under them, without any hesitation, everyone took a step, and then it was as if they were knocked away by a huge force, everyone was confused, but they had already prepared in advance, and quickly adjusted their bodies.
"Rush!"
Jiang Yi cut the road in three sections, and directly led everyone to rush towards the other side that was not particularly far away, fortunately, the operation of their group of people was okay, and there was no big problem along the way, that is, Xia Jiang, who was not very good at operation, with their help, also crossed this abyss without danger and came to the other side.
"To be honest, I think the people who designed this ancient secret realm were really careful, this way of crossing the bridge, I'm afraid it's the first case!" Jiang Yi looked back at the road they had come from and said with emotion.
"Really, I've never seen anything like it before." Ye Xin also nodded.
"After all, it's blocked our account, how can it be easy?"
After sighing for a while, a group of people continued to hurry, but there were no wild monsters on the way, as if after they came to the deepest part of purgatory, there were many fewer wild monsters here, and I don't know why.
"Have we come a long way? Why haven't you reached the Blood Palace yet? ”
Jiang Yi turned his head to look at the road when he came while he spoke, but this sight made his whole person's blood coagulate, the road when they came was actually gone, I don't know when a large fog appeared behind them, they actually advanced in the fog for so long.
"When did the fog appear?" Ye Xin stretched out her hand and waved, but found that the gray mist did not dissipate with her wave, they seemed to be sticky, and they always maintained a fixed posture.
"It's weird!" Liu Ping also tried, and he unleashed a powerful punch wind, but he still couldn't dispel the fog around him.
"No, it's not fog, it's resentment!"
Jiang Yi looked at it, and suddenly frowned, he noticed that in these fogs, terrifying skull-like things would actually emerge, and they were surrounded by the resentment of the undead.
"I know where this is." Xia Jiang suddenly spoke.
"What is this place?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Huangquan Road!"
"But shouldn't there be a Yellow Spring on Huangquan Road?" Ye Xin asked.
"That's just folklore, and haven't you noticed? There is a special smell in the air, fishy but not pungent, very well-behaved, maybe this is the smell of Huangquan. ”
Xia Jiang's analysis made all of them break out in a cold sweat, why did they come to Huangquan Road without warning? How do you get out of here?
"This fog should be what makes it impossible for us to discern our direction, maybe we haven't moved at all in a long time, and we're spinning in place."
"Is this the legendary ghost hitting the wall?" Liu Ping asked.
"This is much more advanced than a ghost hitting a wall!" Jiang Yi muttered.
"The question is, how do we break this barrier? Is there anything you can do? Jiang Yi turned his head and asked.
"You can try it!" Xia Jiang didn't directly agree, he motioned to Jiang Yi to stab Mo Fei into the ground, and then moved forward while leaving scratches on the ground, Jiang Yi didn't ask why, and did as he said.
After walking for a while, Xia Jiang called out to them, looking at his feet with a heavy face, a deep nick appeared in front of him, and this nick spread into the fog in front of him, I don't know where it spread.
"What's wrong? Back again? Jiang Yi asked.
"Hmmm! Yes, it's back, and I probably kind of understand the design here. Xia Jiang lowered his head and looked at the nicks on the ground, and then strode forward.
"What do you mean?"
"You've heard of the Penrose Steps?"
"Nope!"
"It's a well-known paradox of geometry, something that is impossible in our three-dimensional world, but it can be easily achieved in a higher dimension, you are in this ladder, you can go in circles forever, but you are always climbing up, and you are back to your original position again and again!"
Xia Jiang opened a holographic projection image in front of them, and a strange building could be seen in his hands, and in this building, several figures were constantly circling around this staircase, repeating itself.
"I kind of get it, it means we're just these people, right? Huangquan Road is this staircase? Liu Ping asked.
"Almost, we think it's going forward, but it's not, we're walking in a circle, so there will be a return to the dot, and I suspect that the designer also applied the theory of Penrose's staircase to the design of Huangquan Road, which makes the whole process more complicated."
"Qimen Dunjia?" Guan Chaohai asked.
"It's almost the same, as long as the fog is there, we can't tell the direction clearly, we feel like we're moving forward, but in fact we are really climbing the ladder, an infinite loop of the ladder."
"How to crack?" Jiang Yi asked.
"The easiest way is to brute-force it, and when we go to the place where we are about to turn a corner, we will just break out, but this needs to be measured, and see if the nick you drew shows signs of turning in that place."
"Now that you've found a way, let's try it! A little bit is coming. ”
……
By the time they came out of the fog, it was already the next morning, and after countless attempts, they finally found the inflection point just now, and then directly bombarded the fog in front of them violently, and blasted out a road, and after coming out of the fog, they found that the area they were in before was covered by a square mist, and only at the inflection point could they break through the fog and break out of the maze.
"I'm obedient, I really can't do anything without culture, if I change to those professional players, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out for the rest of my life!" Jiang Yi looked at the huge maze that trapped them and sighed.
"Indeed, everything we have experienced in the past few days is no longer something that can be completed by technology, if it weren't for Xia Jiang, I'm afraid none of us would be able to complete this task." Ye Xin also nodded in agreement.
"I'm not that good, if I were someone else, I would come out sooner or later." Xia Jiang said modestly.
"Don't be modest, that's all for today! It's not too early, take a break offline, and make up for it. Jiang Yi glanced at the time and proposed to go offline.
"Good! It's really not too early. I'm going back too, or a bunch of people will come and slam on the door again. Ye Xin nodded.
After making an appointment for the next meeting again, they went offline one after another, after returning from the game, Jiang Yi felt that the whole person was a little weaker, not because of the loss of physical strength, but because of brain power, this series of things was too brain-burning, and when he experienced the abyss, the wails of those unjust souls were still lingering in his mind, and he needed a little time to adjust.
"How's it going?"
When I came to the hall, I found that everyone's faces were not particularly good-looking, especially Xia Jiang, who was originally white, but now it is even whiter, and there is no blood at all.
"I can still hold on!"
"I don't think it's too strong, it's not online tomorrow, everyone have a good rest, there are too many things happening today, we need to adjust well."
Jiang Yi made a decision directly, he was going to arrange for everyone to go to the resort to have a good rest, physical fatigue is secondary, mainly spiritual cultivation.
"Hey, fatty, do you have any good resort recommendations! I'm going to take my side of the group to play for a few days and relax. Jiang Yi quickly found Gu Yuan and asked.
"Resort? How is the Chunjiang Clubhouse? There are also resorts here, golf, beach volleyball, barbecue ...... Everything you need, and you can hold my name for half price! ”
"The price is not a problem, you can help me get in touch! As soon as possible, I'm going to go over tomorrow. ”
"Is something wrong with you? How do you feel that your mental state is not very good! Gu Yuan on the other end of the phone suddenly asked.
"Well, there's something going on in the game......"
Jiang Yi roughly said what happened, only to hear that Gu Yuan was a series of leaning and leaning, and then there was no movement, just when Jiang Yi thought he had hung up the phone, Gu Yuan spoke: "You dare to take such a big risk, it is really powerful!" Don't worry, I'll go to the old wolf right away and call you, and I'll help you get it right away! ”
"Okay, thanks!"
"It's okay, I'll help you arrange a few doctors to go over, your symptoms can't be adjusted by cultivation, and you need the intervention of doctors." Gu Yuan said solemnly.
"Is it that serious?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Definitely! After going through so many unbelievable things, do you think your thinking is as clear as before? Do you hear the voices of the spirits in your head every now and then? Gu Yuan asked solemnly.
“……”
"This shows that you haven't come out of that virtual environment yet, if you don't heal it early, it may become a mental illness that you can't cure in your lifetime, I've seen a lot of this kind of person, and most of them end up in suicide, even if you're not afraid of death, your teammates are always afraid!" Gu Yuan explained.
“…… Okay, I agree, but don't tell Mu Bing, I don't want her to worry. Jiang Yi reminded.
“…………”
"Why don't you speak?" Jiang Yi wondered.
"Brother, if it's not the elder brother, I won't help you, Mr. Mu is opposite me now, she heard the conversation just now, I ......" Gu Yuan said embarrassedly.
"You don't want anyone to know?" At the same time, a familiar voice came out of the phone.
"Sister Mu? How do you get with a fat guy? Jiang Yi was surprised.
"I have a business to discuss, but I didn't expect to hear such exciting news, your wings are stiff, you dare to do such a dangerous thing without me, do you want to die......"
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Mu, what are you talking about, I can't hear clearly, the signal here is not good, hang up first! ”
