Since the possibility of a ghost hitting the wall has been ruled out, what else could trap yourself in this staircase passage?

Mo Chen didn't understand the reason, and Xuan Di couldn't think of the strange thing, although Mo Chen had been walking down the steps just now, along the way, Xuan Di was also carefully observing the outside world in the cloud gong space, but not to mention Mo Chen along the way, even he didn't find anything abnormal.

"The mountain behind this place is only a thousand meters high, and you have already walked down tens of thousands of steps, even if you don't count the distance you fell at the beginning, you should have already entered the underground river. Xuan Di said to himself, because he couldn't find the reason for being trapped, so even it was a little helpless now.

Hearing Xuan Xuan's self-talk, a flash of inspiration flashed in Mo Chen's heart, and he immediately squatted down and carefully stroked the stone steps on the ground.

Seeing Mo Chen's movements, Xuan Lu was suddenly a little confused: "What are you doing?"

"There is nothing unusual along the way, and there is no ghost wall barrier in front and behind the kilometer, so the only possibility is that there is something strange about this step. Mo Chentou said without a voice.

"From the very beginning, I felt that the design of the steps was too strange, with a meter-long countertop, and the height of each step was only two or three inches high, which was too wasteful of stone no matter how you looked at it. Mochen said, his hands carefully caressing the surface of the stone steps.

"It's a bit weird, but apart from the appearance of this stone staircase, there are no traces of magic on it. Xuan Di couldn't help but say.

The two of them paid great attention to the surrounding stone walls in the passage along the way, observing whether there were traces of magic around them all the time, and the stone steps under their feet would naturally not be missed, but even if the two of them were so careful, they didn't see any traces of magic, so the two of them would speculate before that it was a ghost wall barrier that could keep a distance of 100 meters from people.

However, Mo Chen's release of ghost qi and holy qi swept the passage for thousands of meters, which also ruled out the possibility of ghosts hitting the wall, since there was no magic in the passage, what could trap them here?

Mo Chen didn't answer, just concentrated on stroking the stone steps on the ground, and after groping one stone step, he began to grope for the second stone step, and after groping a few pieces repeatedly, Mo Chen's face suddenly showed a smile.

Seeing Mochen's expression, Xuan Jue couldn't wait to ask, "How? What did you find?"

Mo Chen nodded, pulled out his hand and saw the ink sword, and then slammed it into the stone wall beside him. Only a muffled sound was heard, and the ink sword was inserted into the stone wall without hindrance.

"From the very beginning, we fell into a trap that was not a spell that trapped us here. As he spoke, Mochen took out the ink sword, looked at the little lime stained on it, and showed a look in his eyes.

Xuan Jue stretched out his claws and touched his head, wondering: "How is this possible, we have been very careful along the way, and we have not triggered any mechanism at all." ”

Mo Chen smiled and said, "It's true that there is no trigger mechanism, that's because we have been in the mechanism all along." ”

Xuanjie's eyes widened: "You mean that this entire passage is actually a mechanism?"

"That's right. Mochen smiled, "Actually, as soon as we entered this staircase passage, we had already entered an infinite loop mechanism. “

"But there's nothing unusual in this passage, what kind of mechanism can escape our attention?"

"It's all on this staircase. “

As he spoke, Mochen took out a water bag from the Qiankun bag, unscrewed the seal, and poured the remaining half of the bag of water on the steps.

I saw that after pouring the water on the steps, it did not flow towards the next step as expected, but unusually gathered at the place connected with the previous stone step, forming a small puddle of water.

"Aren't the steps flat?" Xuan Lu followed the turtle body, but it did not mean that it was stupid, and it could naturally realize the problem when it saw this scene.

"That's right. Mo Chen nodded and said: "This step was not flat from the beginning, maybe when we first entered, the steps we walked through were all flat, but I don't know when all the steps we walked on were slightly inclined like this."

"I see, it's a scheming mechanism. Xuan Di couldn't help but exclaim.

I couldn't help but marvel, even Ink Dust was impressed by the designer of this mechanism, this passage mechanism cleverly took advantage of the psychological changes of the entrant to set a trap.

Although the initial steps have a strange appearance, they are completely flat and downward, and even if the enterer is careful and looks closely at the steps, they will not be able to find anything strange.

In the endless passage that follows, because they have been walking downwards like this, most of the intruders who have been extremely cautious will lose patience and speed up the pace of walking, and once the intruder loses patience, they will inevitably relax their attention to the steps.

When the intruder gradually relaxes his attention to the steps under his feet, it is extremely difficult to notice that the steps under his feet gradually become a little sloping, although the angle of inclination is very small, but because the surface of the steps is very wide, the final junction with the next step will appear to have a height difference, but in fact the height between the two steps does not change.

Coupled with the fact that there will always be only three oil lamps lit next to the intruder in the passage, once trapped in this place for a long time, the intruder will subconsciously have the feeling that he has been walking down the steps.

Multiple illusions are stacked together, and no magic traps are required to trap people in this loop.

"So we always thought that we had gone down tens of thousands of steps, but in fact it was only at the same height. Xuan Lu muttered.

"That's right, because this passage is an arc, and it will eventually form a circular passage, and we have been going around in circles in it. Mo Chen said in a deep voice, he had to admire the designer's good intentions.

Thanks to himself and Xuanfu, he was able to eliminate all external factors in time, so that he could discover this ingenious design, and if he were to change to someone else, it would be extremely difficult to see the strangeness.

And once the strange place in the passage cannot be discovered as soon as possible, the trapped person will only become more and more irritable, and he will not be able to calm down and figure everything out, and finally he will only be trapped here in endless doubt and despair.

"It's clever design, but it's also vicious enough. ”

Mo Chen shook his head and said, although he had also envied the outstanding talent of such an innate spirit beast as Xuan Di, but in fact, the unique exquisite and vicious heart of the human race was something that other races could never match. After sighing, Mo Chen raised his hand and inserted the sword into the stone wall next to him until it reached the hilt, and then continued to walk down the steps, and as he walked, the ink sword cut a deep hole on the stone wall beside him.

After walking through the hundred steps, Mo Chen stopped, and at this time, the ink sword he held in his hand felt a trace of obstruction, not like it was splitting the stone wall, but like it had cut gold and iron. "This is it. Mo Chen said secretly, then drew his sword and retreated, raised his palm, and slashed on the stone wall with one palm.

I only heard a boom, and the usual stone wall was split open by him, revealing the iron door embedded in the stone wall.

There was also a huge pulley on the side of the iron gate, and between the pulleys hung a huge iron chain as thick as an arm, and the iron chain was stretched straight and stretched vertically down the stone wall, as if it was tying something.

"That's the exit. Mo Chen glanced at the iron door in front of him, and then reached out and grabbed the iron chain on the pulley.

"The pulley and the chain are the mechanisms that control the entrance to the passage. As he spoke, Mo Chen's hand dragged the iron chain hard, and then he only felt that the entire passage was rising slightly, and the iron gate was holding still, so it seemed that it had been falling.

After a while, Mochen pulled the chain to the end, and he let go of his hand, looked at the stone room in front of him and smiled.

The stone chamber in front of him was the small stone chamber that he fell into along the tunnel at the top of the mountain, and the oil lamp on the wall of the room was still on at this time, because there was a layer of loess on the ground, and even the footprints of Mo Chen's previous walks were clearly visible.

And so it was. Xuan Di exclaimed.

"It turns out that the real road has been under our feet from the beginning, and if we can find the mechanism hidden deep in the stone wall when we enter the passage, then we don't need to walk the wrong way. Xuan said in annoyance, with obvious anger in his tone.

"Who would have thought?" Mo Chen smiled bitterly, "We were already very careful at the beginning, in order to detect the hidden weapon spell in time, we checked everything in this passage one by one, but unfortunately, the more this is the case, the easier it will be to step into the trap later." ”

"Rather than complaining here, we should praise the ingenuity of the designer. ”

"Of course I know this truth, but I feel a little tricked in my heart, and I am very unhappy. Xuan said and slapped the statue of Zhenjun under his feet with his claws. But after grabbing it, it suddenly realized what it had done, and hurriedly muttered in its mouth: "Zhenjun is above, I didn't mean to pat your old man's head, it's really a sin!"

As he spoke, it gently touched the place where it had fallen, as if Zhenjun had been hurt by him.

Mo Chen naturally couldn't see the scene of the mysterious gods chattering in the cloud gong space, he reached out and grabbed the iron chain, dragging it in the opposite direction, and then the passage slowly sank, and the iron door slowly rose in front of him.

Mo Chen stepped forward and found that there was a human snake tail on the iron door, and the human snake statue was still holding a long trident in his hand, which seemed to be inlaid with it, and the surface was slightly bulging.

He pushed the door hard, and found that he couldn't push the iron door with his strength alone, and the iron door stood in the stone wall like a thousand pounds, no matter how hard the ink dust tried, he was not moved at all.

"It depends on how heavy you are. Mo Chen said secretly in his heart, and then retreated, spreading his hands with both powers.

In an instant, there were waves in the originally calm passage, and the boundless ghost qi howled and filled, turning Mo Chen's left hand into a pitch-black ghost claw, and at the same time, the magnificent holy qi filled the palm, dyeing Mo Chen's right hand into a flawless jade palm.

The power of Mo Chen's palms was amazing, and after three breaths, he stepped forward five times in a row, and his palms slashed towards the iron gate in front of him with earth-shattering power.
