605 Upside-Down Pyramid
"Not bad." The mermaid did not hide it in the slightest.
Chen Si's brows quickly furrowed. There are not as many species of sea snakes as there are snakes on land, but the number is not inferior to that of snakes on land, and the environment in which they live is more vast, the natural carrying capacity is strong, and the number of reproduction is even more astronomical. The vast majority of sea snakes are not venomous, but are still a delicacy, and a large number of fishermen catch them every year to sell.
But there are no absolutes, and some venomous sea snakes are more poisonous than those of the king cobra, such as the split-cheeked sea snake that lives in the northwest waters of Australia. These sea snakes are highly venomous, but the toxin content of each sea snake is not much, and this split-cheeked sea snake has a relatively docile temperament and rarely takes the initiative to attack humans, but it does not have much notoriety.
But Chen Si's thinking did not stop at the ordinary sea snake, he first thought that if the people who designed the mechanism were to place snakes on the passage to snipe the intruder, then they must have thought of the most aggressive, extremely venomous, and extremely tenacious species. Chen Si's mind couldn't imagine what kind of poisonous snake this would be, and even the most knowledgeable marine experts in the world couldn't know one percent of the species in the deep sea, so how could he, Chen Si, know it?
"Chen Si, what are you thinking?" Gu Fengchun saw that Chen Si was bowing his head and pondering, as if he was in some predicament, and hurriedly asked.
"I'm wondering how we're going to get through this difficult time." Chen Si let out a breath of turbidity, cheered up and said, "Follow me, prepare your weapons, and beware of the attack of unknown creatures!" The merman's words filled Chen Si's heart with vigilance. However, after walking a distance, what the merman said did not happen, which made Chen Si's hanging heart feel a lot more relieved. The merman was also lucky, if the sea snake he said really appeared, it would be him who would bear the brunt. Those sea snakes have always liked to hunt mermaids for food, and they will definitely take care of them when they see him.
"Chen Si, you see where we are now." Gu Fengchun gasped and said. There is not much oxygen in the passage, so it is a little difficult to breathe. Although there is an oxygen bag in the backpack, Gu Fengchun doesn't really want to use these materials so early, he doesn't know how long the next journey will be delayed, it is better to save some of these consumables, he knows very well that Luo Xiaodan is relatively thin and weak, and there are not many things to bring, and when necessary, he has to allocate his quota to Luo Xiaodan.
Chen Si took out the map, pointed to the map and said, "We encountered a water current in this place just now, according to the division of this map, we are now on the lowest floor of the temple, and we need to find a path to reach the top layer, which is the central area. But our path has been disrupted, the map has no precise effect, and we can only follow the general direction of the map by feeling, and if I estimate correctly, this place is like an inverted pyramid. ”
"Inverted pyramids?" Gu Fengchun asked a little puzzled. His knowledge of architecture was far less experienced than Chen Si's, but he was familiar with the appearance of the pyramids.
"Yes, it's an inverted pyramid. Outside the temple, we saw a magnificent building, but it was only exposed on the surface, and there were buildings below, which was reminded of the aberrated gravitational pull here. Chen Si took a deep breath and said, it seemed that his breathing was not very smooth.
"How?" Gu Fengchun heard it half-clearly. "Aren't we looking for a way up there now?" Gu Fengchun was a little confused.
"Nope." Chen Si said with a solemn face: "This is the illusion created by the gravitational field. Remember the gravity disorder here? ”
Gu Fengchun nodded, how can this be forgotten, the walls can be walked as a road, such a strange thing has only happened soon!
"Then you try again now and see if it works." A strange smile appeared on the corner of Chen Si's mouth.
"Oh." Gu Fengchun was suspicious, approached a wall, and wanted to walk up, but when he stepped on the wall, he didn't have the same solid feeling as before, and when he raised his other foot again, his body immediately fell to the ground.
"Huh, how can this be?" Gu Fengchun was very puzzled, but he knew that this was the gravitational field around him that had returned to normal. After landing and standing firmly, he couldn't wait to ask Chen Siqi.
"Because the direction of the gravitational field has changed." Chen Si said with a serious face, he shook the map in his hand, and said: "When we first came in, we were in the right direction, but the designer of this temple designed this gravity-free passage in order to confuse our sense of direction, so that we could walk like it, and we didn't know where it was, up and down, left and right, and lost the most primitive reference, so as soon as we saw the high place, we thought we were walking towards the high place, but in fact we ......"
"Actually, we're going in the opposite direction!" Gu Fengchun didn't wait for Chen Si to finish speaking, and he understood the meaning of Chen Si's words. But he still didn't understand a little, and he continued, "But why did this designer do this? ”
"What do you say?" Chen Si shook his head and said.
Gu Fengchun smiled bitterly: "How do I know? ”
"To confuse us, of course, and to get us into a dead end." Chen Si's voice was unhurried. From his expression, he couldn't see his joy and anger, but suddenly he said: "It seems that we still have to thank Qin Chuan!" After saying that, he laughed twice "haha", leaving only the confused Gu Fengchun.
"How?" Gu Fengchun looked puzzled again.
"It's very simple, he used your blood to do his hands and feet, although this move has caused us trouble for a long time, but it is also beneficial." Chen Si couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and then said: "The map is actually a double helix of life and death, operating all the time, with the map you draw, we may be able to distinguish the direction of progress, but we can't calculate the running time of these life and death paths, so every intersection is a death test for us, and we have no other way but to rely on luck to break through." Chen Si let out a sigh of relief and continued: "But Qin Chuan has made the entire living organ settle down and become a dead mechanism. In this way, we can't determine our exact location now, but we have found a trap designed by the ancients, and we don't have to be led by the ancients, and this map should have been seen upside down. The position above our heads, literally facing the ground. Chen Sizhen said eloquently.
