Chapter 302: A Special Maze
I attach great importance to Brother Tiger's words, all along, every time Brother Tiger speaks, it is a correct statement, he said that it is a maze, although there is no evidence, and Brother Tiger is not doing this, but I always feel that he has his own evidence.
"Brother Tiger, can you prove it?" I asked.
Brother Hu thought for a moment and said: "Looking back, if we can go out, I don't think it should be a maze, but if we can't go out, it means that we are very likely to have a problem." ”
I thought about it for a moment, looked at Brother Long, and nodded.
Although Brother Long and Brother Tiger are twins, Brother Long is the captain of the real brand, and I am the vice captain, so the final idea is to ask the two of us to take it.
Brother Long pondered for a moment and said: "Ruhu is right, our task now is to determine whether we really have to enter the maze, if so, then it will be troublesome, after all, we did not calculate from the beginning, in this way, it will be difficult to get out." ”
I have a bitter face, it's not just difficult, it's even more difficult.
If this bamboo forest is really a maze, then we are already in the maze now, and we don't know where we are.
If I had a map, I might be able to do the math, but without a map, I don't know how to get people out.
In addition, our current task is not to get out, but to get to the middle position, so that we can open the mechanism, and then it will be really troublesome.
Of course, this trouble is not unsolvable, and if we set it on fire, I believe it should not be a big problem.
But I glanced at the bamboo grove around me, and the bamboos were so well distributed that one or two of them were lit and had no effect on the others.
And this kind of bamboo is not so simple to burn.
Brother Long has already opened the way ahead, and we can only continue to keep up, but this time, we are going back.
When I came here just now, I believed that although Brother Long didn't make a mark, he would definitely be able to walk in the direction he came in just now, so I didn't believe it, this small bamboo forest could still fascinate us in it.
But facts really speak louder than words, and in just a moment's effort, even Brother Long was blinded, because at this time, where we were standing, we could see a small yellow circle not far away.
This is the place where Lu Xiaodan was bitten just now, and the circle was painted with poisonous powder, just to prevent snakes.
In other words, we really have to go back to the same place again.
For no reason, nothing was wrong, we seemed to be moving in a straight line, but in the end, we got back to where we were.
Everyone was dumbfounded, including me, and I was staring at the circle now, wishing it had been drawn there before, but we just happened to see it.
But this is impossible, I'm afraid no one has been here for hundreds of years, right?
Brother Long smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaowen, it's up to you, this is really a maze." ”
Look at me, look at me what? I'm also bitter.
The maze has come to the current situation, we are really not very easy to go out, not that we don't want to go out, but it is not good to go out, how can I explain the truth to them.
Maze this thing, generally speaking, there is no way to break the formation when it is inside, although this is a static formation, but once you enter it, it is difficult to think of a way to break the formation.
For example, judging from our current situation, where we are now is a complete mystery.
Moreover, from our position, which way to go, how many steps to take, this is a certain method, we are now in the formation, this is not to be tested.
I scratched my head, and the others were all looking at me with blank expressions, obviously they didn't understand where we were now.
Only Zhang Shihong was obvious, he walked over, then pulled Zhang Siqiao aside, and said, "Brother Wen, I know this is difficult, but aren't you a master?" Think about it, think about whether there are any special hints, I think, since this place is left by the Wen family, then there must be a way to go, that's for sure. ”
I closed my eyes and thought about what was written in the book my father gave me, Underwater Ryugu Castle, and there was nothing written on it.
Eight right, nine, left, and ten turn around, there is such a hint, but now that we are in the formation, there is no way to do it.
"It's a bit of a hint, but it has nothing to do with it."
"Let's hear it." Zhang Shihong was a little anxious.
"Eight, right, nine, left, ten, turn around."
"Finished?"
"It's over." I looked at Zhang Shihong, just these seven words, you play with flowers for me to see.
Zhang Shihong was obviously confused, and then suddenly sat on the ground and said: "It's over, it's over, all the clues are broken now, if you think that this is a maze before you come in, there is still a way." ”
He still really understands, if before I came in, I thought that this was a maze, and there was this mantra, then it would be easy to do.
Generally speaking, if we go in a certain direction, then we can see a relatively transparent road, and when we reach a certain position, there is something in front of us blocking our way.
And if there are roads on both sides, that's a choice, right or left.
According to the way of moving eight right, nine left, and ten turns, if we go forward, if we encounter the number eight, for example, we go forward, and there are eight bamboos next to it, then there is an obstacle at this time, and we should go to the right.
And if you go through the number nine, you go to the left, and if you go ten, then turn around.
It may seem like a bit of a problem this way, but in fact, if you walk down, you can definitely find the passage.
But now that we're in the bamboo forest, we're heading in a certain direction, and there's no such number as eight or nine.
Because you don't have to go through a few bamboos, as long as you pass two, there will be bamboos in front of you, which is completely wrong.
Brother Long also came around at this time, and we sat here cross-legged and discussed whether there was any other way.
Zhang Shihong is mainly thinking about how to solve this maze.
"Xiaowen, if we take a musket to open the way and then burn these bamboos, how sure do you think we will be?"
I shook my head, I hadn't thought about it, but as far as the musket is concerned, we don't have many gas cylinders right now.
I used it earlier, and when we passed through the Xuanwu Pass, we still used a lot of gas cylinders.
It is impossible to completely burn this bamboo forest now.
More importantly, we may not be able to burn even one of them.
Because the fire can come out, but the bamboo thing is quite resistant to burning, and it really takes a long time to wait for this thing to burn completely.
Brother Long thought for a while, and nodded, this is completely useless.
Lu Xiaodan and Zhang Siqiao sat on the other side at this time, and the two of them were very close, as if they were whispering something, but the voice was so small that we couldn't hear it.
"Hey, I said you two, come over and help figure it out."
"Brother Long, what we can think of, you can also imagine, so we can only sit here and whisper, to be honest, this kind of thing, we are not good at."
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, this is true, just now I proposed to see if I could use a sapper shovel to directly split this bamboo forest, but Brother Long vetoed it.
Bamboo, that is not a knife can be cut in, in ancient times, a lot of spears, are made of bamboo Qin pole, this kind of bamboo gun is very tough, the knife is constantly chopping.
We had to sapper shovels, and it would take a lot of effort to cut down one of them, and if we cut them all, we would all die of exhaustion.
"More importantly, there are snakes on it." At this time, Lu Xiaodan responded.
She was bitten by a snake once, and she was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and when she said this, I felt her body tremble obviously, obviously scared.
I had to smile at her, which was a little encouragement.
Brother Long also nodded, and said: "That's right, this is also a situation, those snakes are a big resistance, if we really go to cut down the tree, then we can't be hit, this is not good, if we bite a few more, our serum will not be enough." ”
"Not necessarily." Zhang Shihong pointed to a tree in front of him and said: "I just observed, those snakes are very particular about the place where they are coiled, they are all in the position of the bamboo joint, and the height is different, as long as we are below a certain bamboo joint, I don't think they will bite us." ”
"How long is that going to be?" Brother Long shook his head.
Wait, I felt a touch in my heart, a feeling, as if I had grasped a little bit of light.
"Shihong, what did you just say?"
"I said that as long as we are below a certain distance, we should be able to cut down trees."
"Not that, go further." I always feel that it is what Zhang Shihong said that will make me feel such a touch, and this feeling is very obvious.
"The snake is coiled on the bamboo, and it is of different heights."
By the way, that's it, I stretched out my hand: "Telescope." ”
A pair of gentle hands handed me the binoculars, it was Zhang Siqiao, and then she smiled at me and said, "What? Brother Wen, have you found a way? ”
"Not yet, but we'll see it." I didn't find a way, but I always felt like I had caught the crux of the matter.
Holding the binoculars, he looked at the bamboos around him.
Sure enough, the places where the green bamboo snakes were coiled were really different, some were higher, some were lower, but overall, they were not too low.
Looking at the bamboos again, I suddenly realized that there was one thing that I hadn't noticed just now, and that was the knots of these bamboos.
The knots of this kind of bamboo are not very tall, and each section is more than 20 centimeters.
The telescope swept again, and I looked at the bamboo that had bitten Lu Xiaodan just now.
No, is it really as I imagined, I felt a surprise in my heart, and found it, this way to break the formation, it turned out to be this.
