Chapter 196: Mystery
Together with the two of them, these four roads are the same. Cheng Yiming looked at it carefully several times from beginning to end, but he still couldn't see the reason, so he wanted to think about it again, and suddenly thought of why not engrave a mark on his wall, even if one of them was wrong, if he turned around, he could enter another road.
Thinking of this, he immediately raised the Qingying Sword in his hand and slashed hard towards the stone wall.
I only heard a 'clanging' sound, and the sharp long sword slashed across the stone wall, as if a feather was brushing by, leaving no trace.
Cheng Yiming was stunned for a moment, and the force in his hand couldn't help but increase a few points, and he slashed towards the stone wall again.
The blade of the sword slashed, and the stone wall was still as smooth as a mirror.
Seeing this, Long Yu on the side suddenly stretched out his hand and swiped it, only to see a dark brown flame, jumping happily on his palm. In the middle of breathing, the flame slowly grew larger, and with a move of Long Yuqian's hand, the flame rushed up the stone wall and burned violently.
Cheng Yiming's eyes showed a little appreciation, and he simply put away the Qingying Sword and watched quietly.
After a few moments, the flames receded, and the stone walls that had been scorched by the flames remained unchanged.
At this time, the two of them couldn't help but show disappointment on their faces.
"By the way, brother, when we just came in, the stone wall behind the stone gate seemed to be densely engraved with many characters!" Long Yu patted his head and suddenly said excitedly: "Let's go back and take a look, maybe we can find some clues!" ”
After entering the stone gate, the light began to dim, even if the night vision mode was turned on, it still did not help, until more than ten zhang forward, there was a pearl. Cheng Yiming was only wary of the unknown danger in the Yongdao at first, and did not pay attention to the surrounding environment at all, but when he heard Long Yu say this, he immediately said: "Okay, go back and have a look!" ”
The two walked side by side, followed the way they came, and walked out of more than ten zhang in a short time.
"That's not right!"
In the middle of the line, Cheng Yiming suddenly stood still and said in a deep voice: "This is definitely not the road we took when we came in!" ”
"Yes, we have walked twenty-seven zhang away, and it stands to reason that Shimen is here!" Long Yu stared at the pearl on the top of the road with a pair of big eyes, and continued thoughtfully: "Could it be that we have gone wrong? It shouldn't be! ”
"Let's go, keep going!"
Cheng Yiming was also surprised in his heart, just such a road, the two of them would never go wrong, so why is this? Although he was suspicious in his heart, his face was still silent, he took Long Yu's little hand and continued to move forward.
Let's da, da~ The sound under my feet echoes in the deep corridor, which is very weird.
After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and there was another crisscrossed crossing, which was horizontal in front of me.
How so?
The mini-map in the upper right corner becomes pitch black and useless as soon as you enter the corridor.
I saw Cheng Yiming put away his long sword, slowly came to the fork of the Yongdao Road, and stretched out his hand to stroke it against the stone wall. The stone wall is smooth as satin, cold and piercing, and as soon as it comes into contact, people can't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies.
He rubbed for a moment, withdrew his hand and bent his fingers, and slowly tapped it against the stone wall.
Fingers tapped on the stone wall, and there were a few muffled sounds, and when I listened closely, there was no abnormality.
"It's weird!" Cheng Yiming muttered to himself, and remembered what he had learned from his grandfather before, about Yili gossip and the like. Taiji was born in chaos, and gave birth to the genus of two yi, four elephants, five elements and eight trigrams, these things are all from the Hetuluo book, and the principle of its cycle of life and restraint is endless.
But the problem is that these things seem to be useless at this point.
Of course, this is certainly not the problem.
I only heard the dragon whisper suddenly: "To make a mark, you don't necessarily have to carve it on the stone wall!" ”
As soon as the next words came out, Cheng Yiming suddenly seemed to see the clouds and mist, and suddenly said: "Yes, there is no mark on the stone wall, we can completely replace it with other things!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of ordinary red potion dropped by the monster from the inventory, put it on one of the Yongdao entrances, and then pulled the dragon language on the side, and raised his feet to walk inside. This road is the same as the one I have walked before, and even the pearl inlaid at the top is exactly the same.
After the two walked for about 20 zhang, there was a fork in the road in front of them.
After a pause, Cheng Yiming took out another bottle of blue potion from his inventory, put it on the Yongdaokou in his left hand, and continued to move forward.
Time passed minute by minute, and the two didn't know how far they went. I only knew that I had encountered a total of eleven staggered forks, in addition to the blue medicine and red medicine, Cheng Yiming took out the food in his inventory and some equipment of the average grade, but he still did not come to the end.
You know, none of these things are repeated, even those potions, some are horizontal, some are vertical, some are on the left, and some are on the right.
Game time is 11:00 p.m.
More than four hours have passed since the Xuanyuan Tomb dungeon opened, and Cheng Yiming has been more than half an hour since he entered the second-floor dungeon. Items dropped by monsters belong to the player who killed the monster within three minutes, after which they become ownerless. Items discarded by the player will also take different amounts of time to refresh. Ordinary items such as potions and food will be automatically refreshed if no one picks them up within half an hour. Equipment and rare materials will take longer to refresh.
Seeing that it had been almost 30 minutes since he put down the first bottle of potion, if he didn't have a clue, then after the item was refreshed, wouldn't everything he had done before be in vain? This labyrinth is far bigger than he imagined.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yiming's face finally showed a little anxious, and the speed of his movement couldn't help but speed up a few points.
It didn't take long for me to see a fork in the road again.
When he saw the bottle of red potion lying on the stone surface in the center of the fork, Cheng Yiming's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
After walking for so long, I finally got back to square one!
At this moment, the bottle of potion slowly disappeared.
Counting the time, it's exactly 30 minutes.
From the moment you enter the dungeon, facilities such as the address book are restricted, and after entering the corridor, you will no longer be able to use channels such as teams and teams. In addition, Cheng Yiming has already tried, not only can he not use any consumables, but even his skills cannot be used.
And summoning mounts and pets is naturally not possible.
In this way, no matter how many people there are, there is nothing they can do.
As for Long Yu, who had been following him on the side, Cheng Yiming couldn't explain it.
At the moment when the potion disappeared from his eyes, a flash of inspiration flashed in Cheng Yiming's mind, and he suddenly said: "By the way, it should be like this, why am I so stupid!" As he spoke, he took out his longbow and shot his arrow at the pearl on the top of the fork.
I only heard a 'ding' sound, the arrow hit the pearl, folded down, and fell to the ground with a 'click'.
Looking at the immovable pearl, Cheng Yiming began to hesitate again for a while.
But when he casually swept the battle cues, his eyes lit up again. Although Fang Cai's arrow didn't seem to have any effect on Mingzhu, in the battle prompt, it showed Mingzhu's durability of -1.
"Yu'er, use a ranged attack, hit that bead!"
Cheng Yiming said as he drew his bow and arrow, and shot at Mingzhu again. Long Yu on the side also shot a series of fireballs with a puzzled face.
The attack speed of both of them was extremely fast, and between breaths, the durability of the originally bright bead was emptied and became dull. And the fork of the Yongdao also became dim in an instant.
Long Yu tilted his head and wondered, "Brother, why do you want to play beads?" ”
Cheng Yiming smiled confidently and said, "Hehe, you'll know in a while!" With that, he closed his eyes and walked straight towards the opposite Yongdao, and at the same time said to the dragon on the side: "You follow behind me, and if you touch the beads on the top of the Yongdao, knock them off!" ”
Long Yu nodded as if he didn't understand, his big eyes full of curiosity.
The two of them walked forward one after the other, and every time they touched the pearl at the top of the road, Long Yu would knock them out one by one.
In a short time, the two had already come to another fork in the road.
Cheng Yiming opened his eyes, looked around, and said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, let's go, let's go back the way we came now, remember to close your eyes, don't care about the stone walls on both sides, just go straight ahead!" ”
"Oh, got it!"
Long Yu closed his eyes as he spoke, and followed behind Cheng Yiming, but his long eyelashes kept blinking.
Then again, it is indeed a very uncomfortable thing to let a person walk with his eyes closed, even if he knows that there is a straight and wide avenue in front of him, he still can't help but open his eyes to see.
Let's click~ The sound of footsteps, in the empty and gloomy corridor, spread far away, constantly echoing.
It's been more than 20 zhang away, and if nothing else, this should be on the fork in the road where they knocked out the pearl before. But Cheng Yiming knew in his heart that here and now, there would never be a fork in the road, but it should be another place.
Sure enough, when he opened his eyes, the scene in front of him was indeed not the endless intertwined corridor.
It turns out that there seems to be no law, overlapping and overlapping, staggered and reciprocating, but in fact it also has a very subtle and very secret relationship. It's just that the whole labyrinth is big, the design is ingenious, and the end is the creation of the world, and such a building can only be possible in such a game. But the weight alone shows that there must be an unborn genius among the designers of this game.
If ordinary people break in alone, I'm afraid they can only get out when the dungeon is closed.
Even Cheng Yiming had been in it for nearly an hour before he figured out the clue and had the attitude of giving it a try, so he could find out the mystery in it. Of course, in addition to a little luck, the main credit is also due to the dragon language.
If Dragon Whisper wasn't a summoned beast, but a player, they wouldn't be able to get out.
Because from the first fork in the beginning, the whole big labyrinth begins to divide into three small labyrinths. No matter which road you step into, you will inevitably fall into it. The road seems to be straight, but in fact, there is a slight difference between the height and the left and right directions. And the whole road is integrated, without the slightest reference, except for the pearls on the top every few zhang. But it is this pearl that leads people into a cycle of dead ends.
If it is a person, even if he finds the key, it is impossible to close his eyes and ignore the things around him, and at the same time destroy the pearls on the top of the corridor one by one. Even two people can't do it, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong in the middle, either the other person is gone, or when you open your eyes, you will find that the scene in front of you has not changed at all.
But the dragon language is different, she is Cheng Yiming's summoned beast.
One of the things that the game is really useful here is the premise of the dead. Maybe it's because a summoned beast can't be too far away from its owner, or maybe it's the inextricably linked wonderful induction between Cheng Yiming and Long Yu.
In short, Cheng Yiming was right.
(What is written later in this chapter may be a little incomprehensible, so Xiao Mo will not repeat it here.) If you are interested, you can study more magic squares, soul ladders and other things in this area, and you will understand. Of course, you can also ignore these things and watch the plot directly. )
