Chapter 542: Chewing Demon Island (48)

"That's what I used to survive the illusion of the source of the trembling." Feng Bujue continued, "This is called 'reverse guidance'. He smiled, "Maybe the scene became a little 'out of control' later, that's why Fear said that." ”

"Okay, you don't have to go on, when I didn't ask." Little Pony, don't look over.

"I'm not interested anymore...... Honghu said. He was also helpless, and every time he teamed up with Juego, his sn value (Sny, the player value of the Cthulhu Mythos board game, which represents mental power or mind) plummeted......

So, Brother Jue once again succeeded in ignoring the matter...... Then, he took the opportunity to pull away from the topic and led his teammates to move on.

This time, players are no longer looking aimlessly. For before the Heart of Fear died, it had spoken its way to the cage of despair.

In fact...... The path of this crystal maze has a certain pattern, and this law is hidden in the surrounding crystal pillars.

Heart of Fear doesn't tell the players all the rules, but only says one thing: when encountering a fork in the road (two or more), stand between any two forks and calculate the distance between the top of the first pillar on the left hand and the second pillar on the right, and the angle between the two points and the ground. If these two values are within a certain range, it means that they are not wrong.

With this method, it doesn't matter if you are faced with four or five or even more forks in the road, just try them one by one between two and two.

Right now, Feng Bujue, Honghu and Tianwu are three. It is in accordance with this law that we continue to move forward.

At first they walked very quickly and smoothly. But after some time. The forks in the road ahead gradually increased, and the crystal pillars became denser and more complex, which made their speed start to slow down.

Of course, this is also normal, because the closer you get to the state of mind, the fewer paths you will have. The labyrinth-like mind has many labyrinth-like paths that are used to confuse outsiders.

To cut a long story short, the time it took to make the trek. It took more than four hours......

During this period, Feng Bujue stopped to eat again, and encountered a few monsters. Naturally, the battle was inevitable, and each of the three paid a certain price, but fortunately there were no further casualties.

Finally, in the fifth hour......

I said...... This road seems to be very long. Feng Bujue, who was walking in the front, spoke.

Along the way, he is still the main one to lead the way. Leading the way in this darkness, he does have all kinds of advantages that others do not have.

"I'm a little skeptical, we're going to get to the bottom of it......" replied listlessly.

Obviously, after a long trek, a variety of scares without warning, and many difficult and tedious battles, Pony's morale has dropped to freezing point

"Could it be...... Is it fear that deceives us? "Maybe it deliberately gave us a wrong set of theories to make us go around in circles?" ”

"We didn't go around in circles." Feng Bujue replied. He seemed calm and determined, and he immediately asked, "Along the way...... Have you ever seen a repetition of the scene? ”

"Impressions...... No. Honghu replied.

"I don't have an impression......

Feng didn't need them to be impressed, because he remembered it very clearly, "I built a map in my head. If I'm not mistaken...... After killing the Heart of Fear, the route we traveled was roughly in a spiral. He held up his hand. Holding it up in a circle, "We are approaching a certain 'heart point', and ...... It's already close. ”

Brother Jue's words are always convincing, even if he can't come up with any corroboration, just rely on the sentence "I drew a map in my head", his teammates are willing to believe him.

Even the "wise general" Honghu can't deny that he has this kind of personal charm when he is crazy...... A temperament that makes people feel able to rely on in the face of adversity.

"Huh...... Look at. Not long after Brother Jue finished speaking, the searchlight in his hand shone on something, "The things in this world just can't stand the chatter." ”

When the imagination and the birds heard this, they all looked sideways and looked ahead. But I saw ...... The crystal crust on the road ahead was broken.

The three of them walked forward for another ten meters or so before coming to the end of the path. The ...... that appeared in front of them It is a large pit with a radius of several tens of meters, surrounded by towering crystal pillars, and it is pitch black and bottomless.

"Ah...... Anyway, my searchlight won't shine through. As he spoke, Brother Jue raised his arm and punched the crystal pillar next to him.

In the next second, he picked up a piece of the knocked crystal shard and threw it into the pit.

Whew――

It's the sound of crystals falling. And then...... And then there is no more......

"Huh~Bottomless pit......" whimsical hands on his knees, leaning down and looking down.

"Yes, there is still Mrs. Diyong (that is, the golden-nosed white-haired rat spirit of Journey to the West) living underneath." Brother Jue complained, "I'm ready to move...... Oh hoo~"

"'Oh hoo' is what kind of door...... Honghu said with the corners of his mouth twitching, "I tell you, now that the trace has been hung up, we may not all know what you are playing, if you continue to make trouble like this, we will only be nervous when you are alone." ”

"Huh...... That's it. Feng Bujue shrugged, "Anyway, I'll go down to this place first." With that, he took a few steps back and prepared to run.

【Current Task Completed】

【Main Quest Updated】

At this time, two successive system prompts sounded, slightly interrupting Brother Jue's actions.

Players open the game menu, inspect the quest bar, and see that the "Reach the Cage of Despair" has been ticked.

The new quest that will be spawned below is: [Find a way to open the cage]

"What's going on?" "This is obviously a pit, and it hasn't been covered...... What does it mean to be 'open'? ”

"Perhaps...... 'Desperate Cage' is not the pit itself, but somewhere beneath it." Honghu hypothetical.

Feng Bujue said: "Okay, I'll understand it when I go down and see it." ”

"No need." Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded.

At the same moment, a hand rested on Feng Bujue's shoulder.

"I'll open it for you, Otherworldly Travelers......," the man continued, and slowly emerged from the darkness. RI
