It's also strange to say, I usually think that Cui Li is noisy and noisy, which is a headache, but now Zhang Han doesn't say a word next to him, which also makes me a little unbearable.

"Zhang Han, have you found anything, you have something to say." I'm in a bit of a hurry.

"Nope." Zhang Han finally answered my question, but it couldn't be simpler.

Well, it's better than not saying a word to me, and I continued my investigation, each of these robotic arms is actually different, each with its own characteristics, which I didn't notice before.

But beyond this discovery, I didn't find any more useful clues.

The labyrinth I came to was designed by Murong Feng, and this labyrinth currently consists of three places----- stone wall, square, and hall.

I briefly combed through everything that happened in this labyrinth.

The place where Zhang Han and I are is is the square, this place is very empty, when I first came here, it was not as leisurely as it is now.

I can't help but think of the scene at that time:

Several huge mechanical arms captured Xia Cheng and them all.

Before I could react, a huge robotic arm came at me.

I hurriedly dodged the huge arm sideways, but who knew that there was another huge arm coming towards me on my left side, and when I was about to be caught by the mechanical arm, Zhang Han rushed over to block me, and the mechanical arm lifted him into the air.

At that time, I didn't know that Zhang Han in front of me was pretending to be Murong Feng, because he hadn't quickly relieved himself from what was happening in front of me.

What the hell is going on? Before I could figure out what was going on, the huge mechanical arm kept attacking me, but luckily I was able to react quickly and deftly dodge and dodge the mechanical arm's attacks.

I found that while these mechanical arms looked menacing, their range was so limited that I couldn't attack me anymore if I took a few steps back.

Sure enough, after I took a few steps back, the mechanical arm seemed to give up on attacking me.

At this time, I was able to carefully observe these mechanical arms, there were four groups with a total of eight arms, and Xia Cheng and Lin Yun had already been caught and held up in mid-air.

But I can't get close to these robots right now, and I don't know how to stop them.

I've been fighting with this robotic arm for a long time, and I'm already in a hurry, but these huge robotic arms make it impossible for me to get close easily, what should I do? I asked myself again and again......

I looked at everything in front of me, but I didn't know what to do, how to stop these robotic arms? I looked around the terrain and it seemed to be made for this huge thing, there was a lot of space and nothing in the way of the robotic arms' range of motion.

It seems almost impossible to get close to the robotic arm, but it is impossible to turn it off in the air at the distance I am at right now.

Later, I saw the fake console, that is, what Zhang Han studied just now, although there are many buttons on this console, but none of them are useful, at that time I pressed a few buttons at random, but it didn't have any effect.

Just when I hesitated, suddenly I was grabbed by a mechanical arm, I don't even know why, originally these mechanical arms have a limited attack range, but I have withdrawn its attack range, why can it still catch me?

Later, we realized that until just now, what we thought was wrong, we used to think that these mechanical arms were connected to the mechanical subject, so each mechanical arm attacked at a certain distance, but in fact this was not the case.

What shocked me was that the mechanical arm that grabbed me had completely gotten rid of the main body of the machine, in other words, this mechanical arm might actually move freely, so it seemed that the previous scene was just an illusion, in order to let me relax, so that I could be caught at once, and sure enough, this plan is now successful, I am like a failed general, no matter how much explanation is caused by my own negligence, I thought that standing in a place that I thought was safe I could have no worries, But who would have thought that all this was just a pre-designed plan. It's true that I underestimated the strength of these robotic arms.

I was very upset, but to no avail.

However, we didn't just give up, I began to try to work in the opposite direction, the mechanical arm moved in opposite directions, and in this way I was getting closer and closer to Xia Cheng, Xia Cheng seemed to understand my thoughts, and he was very close to me at this time.

I looked at the current situation, it seemed that the opportunity I was looking for had come, and I continued to push in the opposite direction, and the distance between me and Xia Cheng was getting closer and closer. The mechanical arm that grabbed us also shook more and more, and suddenly the two mechanical arms collided with everything, and suddenly sparks were shining, and everyone we used was sweating for the scene in front of us, among which Xia Cheng and I were the most nervous.

The two robotic arms collided together, and we fell to the ground as if we had lost our center of gravity, and we succeeded.

After leaving the mechanical arm, Xia Cheng and I ran separately around the wall, and the two mechanical arms also chased after each other.

In fact, it can be said that it is a huge circular square, we are running desperately like this, but the speed of the mechanical arm behind us is getting faster and faster, gradually, the distance between us and the mechanical arm is getting closer and closer, just when I feel that I can't run, Xia Cheng in front of me and I just circled the hall, now is the most critical time, I used my last strength to rush in the direction of Xia Cheng, and at this time Xia Cheng also rushed towards me, seeing that we were about to collide with each other, We turned sideways past each other at the same time, and then didn't stop, continuing to run towards each other's mechanical arms, and then leaping into the air, jumping high over the oncoming mechanical arms.

The two mechanical arms were not able to recover their speed in time, and could only collide with each other, and the parts of the machinery were scattered all over the ground.

But Xia Cheng and I still didn't think about how to stop all the mechanical arms in front of us.

As I was hesitating, I suddenly remembered the time when I opened the mechanism on the stone wall not long ago, that is, when I first saw that there were many mechanisms on the stone wall, and one of them had already been opened, and that's right! I finally knew how to solve the puzzle, and I had always held the answer to the puzzle in my own hands, but I never found it.

In fact, to be precise, the person who started these mechanical arms should be me, but all this was not intentionally activated by me, but carefully designed by Murong Feng.

At the beginning, I wondered, why I'm so familiar with the starting sequence of these mechanical arms, in fact, this starting order is set by myself, and the console we are looking for is the mechanism that I opened before I first came here, if I remember correctly, the above mechanism is no more and no less exactly ten, and every mechanical arm here should correspond, and I found out at the beginning that one of the mechanisms has been activated, That mechanism corresponds to the mechanical arm that grabbed Lin Yun.

Then I opened a mechanism at random, that was the one that caught Cui Li later, and then I mistakenly opened the second and eighth mechanisms again, that is, Xia Cheng and Zhao Yuyu's mechanical arms, and when I finally opened the correct mechanism, all the mechanical arms were activated by me. So in this case, the person who opened these mechanical arms was myself.

In this way, Xia Cheng and I returned to the inside of the stone gate, that is, where the stone wall was located, and I turned off all the mechanisms on it, so that the corresponding mechanical arm on the mechanism also stopped.

Just as we were cheering, there was a loud bang, and in front of all of us, where it was originally just a wall, suddenly a gate appeared, and a new challenge opened up to us again, and I was ready for it!

We saw that the door was slowly opening to us, but we were not sure that it was the exit, and it was likely to be a new challenge.

We walked through the door, and in front of us was not an exit of our joy, but a hall, the third part of the labyrinth.

It was in this place that Murong Feng guessed the identity of himself that all of me had revealed.

After that, we didn't find any clues at all, this hall didn't seem to be anything special, there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, but they didn't look very precious.

We look at a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the thick ink sets off a kind of Chinese style, Danqing is like a wonderful brush, there is a poem next to the painting, but the above verses, we are very familiar with it, it is the second half of the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple": The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are only blooming. There is nowhere to find the spring of long-hate, and I don't know how to turn into this.

Indeed, since entering the labyrinth, we have seen these verses appear to us repeatedly in various places.

At this time, Murong Feng signaled that as long as one of us was left, the rest could leave this labyrinth safely, but we did not agree, the members of the research team could not be without any of them.

We don't have time to argue with Murong Feng now, Li Ruina's situation is still very dangerous, and we must solve the mystery in front of us as soon as possible. I focused my attention on the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

This calligraphy and painting depicts a tall mountain peak, and the pine trees on the mountain peak stand on it, and it can be seen that the painter's Danqing level is very good.

The poetry of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai has always been arrogant and uninhibited, with mountains and rivers, which makes people have to admire his attainments in poetry.

The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river. The wind flow went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen for nine days.

This calligraphy and painting looks very special, there is no corresponding landscape painting on it, and it is not the same as the "Peach Blossom of Dalin Temple" by Bai Juyi that we saw before. It seems that some of the calligraphy and paintings on these walls only have poems, some only have landscapes, and some have both poems and landscapes. But what does this mean? I thought through my mind, but there was no answer.

Xia Cheng carefully recorded all the poems on the wall on paper, and then sat alone and analyzed them, while the others looked for clues on their own. But Cui Li was the only one who kept groping for something on the wall.

The plan he thought of didn't look like it was feasible, and after I signaled that there might be no exit here, he was so angry that he had to reason with Murong Feng.

I'm really speechless, Cui Li's personality has never been stable enough, and now he must be angry. But the problem is that what I said is just my own speculation, and Cui Li rushed to question Murong Feng like this, which will only make our situation worse and worse.

But Cui Li didn't seem to realize this, looking at him like a volcano about to erupt, the magma had already begun to burn, and it could rush out at any moment, leveling everything around him, and I had to find a way to stop him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace to catch up with Cui Li, and before he could speak, I stopped him.

A volcano that is about to erupt has been prevented by me. Fortunately, the other people didn't notice the change in Cui Li's expression, and they were still persistently looking for clues to leave here. This little crisis can be regarded as coming to an end.

Cui Li calmed down and continued to look for new clues.

Just as I turned around, suddenly a person stood behind me, and this person was Murong Feng.

I didn't even feel him move, but I reacted right away - it was just a holographic projection, and even if it moved, it was only a matter of moments.

I looked at Murong Feng in front of me, he seemed to know our thoughts very well, so it seemed that the confidence on his face was reasonable.

Murong Feng asked me to leave alone, but I refused, I didn't want to leave everyone alone, and all of us came to rescue Li Ruina, but we couldn't lose any of us in order to rescue Li Ruina.

In this way, I continued to look for new clues, if what Murong Feng said was true, then all the clues could only be on those calligraphy and paintings. I focused all my attention on the calligraphy, from which I hoped I had found a solution to the labyrinth.
