105.Fierce Fight (1)
After that, we were faced with several forks in the road, and Sheng Shiyao made his judgment after observing them. I had no position or basis to reject his judgment, so I could only follow him all the way forward, and slowly his expression became more gloomy.
Because even I can see a little bit that the cave has been excavated from the first fork, which means that we are now walking on a processed road. Based on what I had experienced before and what I had seen in that mountain village, I could basically conclude that this cave had also been arranged in formation.
The compass was taken out to guide a certain way, and Sheng Shiyao realized that something was wrong, because we were back at one of the forks in the road, although with my eyes I could not see the difference between the intersections, but Sheng Shiyao could see it at a glance. This time we carved a mark on the mountain wall, and an hour later, we were back here, so it can be seen that the compass has failed again. Sheng Shiyao judged that somewhere in the cave, there was also a magnetic field.
In the cave, we could no longer use the method of following the sun to determine the direction in the labyrinth, and we were in a predicament for a while. We tried to go back to the first fork in the road, but apparently we were in this maze, and it was difficult to get out again, and we couldn't find our way in and around.
It has been more than six hours since I walked at such a strong density, and my physical strength was a little unable to keep up, but I remembered what he had said before, and gritted my teeth and continued to hold on. When people are tired, hunger and thirst come at the same time, and I haven't closed my eyes for more than two days, and after realizing the preciousness of the water, I dare not drink the only bottle of water that is left. Therefore, the slight dehydration symptoms are also slowly rising, and I can feel the peeling on my lips a few times.
The march ended after one of my stumbles and almost fell to the ground, and it was Sheng Shiyao's eyes that quickly grabbed my waist to prevent me from falling to the ground. He lowered his eyes and looked at my face, and whispered, "Be strong!" Then he pulled me to sit down and handed me the water.
I poured the water, and there should not be a bottle, so I took a shallow sip from the mouth of the bottle, moisturized my lips and put the bottle down. When the water bottle was handed back, Sheng Shiyao raised his eyebrows, took it and raised his neck to take a big sip. Staring at the mouth of the bottle, his face was smeared with crimson, even if he knew that he didn't think about it at all, but he couldn't control his mind thinking about it, just now...... I didn't get my saliva on it.
One didn't notice it, his head was pressed into his arms, and just as he was about to look up from in front of him, he heard him say above his head: "You have an hour to sleep to replenish your strength, don't waste the opportunity I gave you." ”
I stopped moving, let him hold him in my arms, pillowed my head on his chest, and his nose was full of his unique breath. The corners of my lips rose irrepressibly, I closed my eyes, and soon sleepiness set in, and I fell asleep. After squinting for a while, he woke me up, his brain was groggy, and asked him how long I had been asleep, and he said indifferently, "Three hours." ”
I was a little confused, but I just closed my eyes and opened my eyes, and I slept for three hours? Didn't he say he would only give me an hour off, why didn't he call me? Could it be that I slept so dead that I didn't even hear him shout?
Try to ignore the soreness caused by physical fatigue, and follow Sheng Shiyao to set off again. After walking for a short time, he noticed that whenever he came to a place, he would carefully observe the cave wall above his head, and then continue walking, and when there was a fork in the road, he would look more carefully. For the next two hours, he didn't return to the same place, and he was walking the same road that he hadn't traveled.
I immediately understood that during the three hours I was asleep, Sheng Shiyao didn't do nothing, he must have pondered the Qimen formation of this cave and came up with a way to crack it. Seeing that his face was calm and grim, I didn't dare to disturb him and distract him, so I kept my mouth shut and didn't ask much, just follow him. I didn't count how long I walked, but after walking for a long time in a cave with no fork in the road, I found that Sheng Shiyao's expression eased a lot, and then I asked the doubt in my heart: "Did you find any tricks just now?" It's probably not in the maze here. ”
But he was noncommittal: "Not necessarily, you can only see it at the end of this road." There is no trick, since this cave is artificially excavated, then the arranger must have a hint for the digger to go out, otherwise he will not be trapped in it. The hint is in the wall of the cave overhead, and every time you reach a fork in the road, you will cut a groove in it, and if you don't look closely, you will only think that it is a gap between the rocks. ”
I see, it sounds very simple, but the difficulty can be imagined. It was almost certain that the groove was very hidden, and such a small difference could be discovered and figured out by him, and he could understand why he chose to rest at that fork in the road, so that he could study the formation well.
There is no game in this world that cannot be broken, every game has an inevitable loophole, and it depends on whether you can catch this loophole.
Sheng Shiyao is equivalent to fighting wits with the ancient military advisors across the era, they have been playing games for thousands of years, and the military advisors have laid out difficult puzzles, which were resolved by Sheng Shiyao one by one. I believe that there will be such a battle in the future, and it will not be difficult for him, especially since he is so powerful, after being trapped in the military division twice in a row, he has already found his way. In terms of time, this time it is much shorter than the trapped forest.
That admiration came out of my heart again, and even ...... Some even couldn't take their eyes off him.
Suddenly remembered something, I couldn't help but worry, that is, there is only one Sheng Shiyao in the world, he is next to me, and we can get out of the maze, what about Liu Yue and Zhou Tong? Does Liu Yue have the wisdom to come out? If they can't get out, are they still stuck in a corner and slowly waiting to die?
Sheng Shiyao's answer was: "Then it depends on their creation." "Cold and heartless, just as it was at the beginning.
It's strange that I don't have the anger I used to have, but I understand his thinking pattern a little. He is not ruthless to the three of them, in his words, it is the range that can be saved, he will inevitably come to the rescue, beyond that range, he can't reach out.
No one knows how big this maze is, and it is absolutely impossible to go back and look for people in the maze again, starting from his concept, so he can only pray that Liu Yue is smart enough to be able to find the strangeness above the cave wall, so as to get out of the maze. I don't know if following a person for too long will change his temperament subtly? In short, after experiencing emotional repetitions, and after being exhausted again, he became as weak as him.
I have thought about many possibilities that Liu Yue and the three of them will encounter, but it will not be the scene they see in front of them at this moment.
After Sheng Shiyao and I walked along the cave where there was no longer a fork in the road for about four or five hours, our vision suddenly widened, and then we seemed to hear the sound of water. But there's no light coming in ahead. After walking for another ten minutes, a large deep pool appeared in front of me, but my eyes were almost instantly attracted by a boulder in the middle of the deep pool, because there seemed to be an unknown object on it.
The flashlight in Sheng Shiyao's hand flashed on the boulder, and both of us were stunned, he instantly condensed the flashlight on the boulder, and this time we both saw clearly what the unknown object was. It turned out to be three people, Liu Yue, Zhou Tong, and six sons.
They did get here! I should have been ecstatic to find them, but I was terrified, for all three of them were lying sideways, and none of them were awake, and from our position, it was difficult to determine whether they were still alive. And the boulder is in the middle of the deep pool, how did they climb up?
The flashlight shone into the deep pool, and there were no stones to walk on, not that I didn't think they might have swam through the deep pool, but the boulder was so big that they wouldn't have been able to climb on top of it if they had swam past.
Judging by the sound of the water, the pool should lead to the outside, but there is no other way around it except the road we came into. In other words, walking here has become a closed cave, did we walk for half a day, with a lot of hard work, or did we walk a dead end? Immediately put away the negative emotions, this is not the time to think about this, you should find a way to find out the situation of the three of them.
As soon as I moved under my feet, I was grabbed by Sheng Shiyao and covered my mouth and nose. I didn't know what he meant, but I didn't struggle, and looked at him suspiciously, only to see him point to my ear, indicating what I was listening to. In fact, I didn't need him to signal, I could already hear the movement, the sound of the water that fluctuated more than just now, coming from the deep pool.
The flashlight had been extinguished, and we stood in the dark, and we could only sense the movement around us by hearing, and with such a large fluctuation of water, we were sure that there was some aquatic life under this deep pool, and it was huge. The first instinctive reaction in the brain is the crocodile, and it is said that the crocodile likes to occupy this deep pool. The danger of the crocodile is not to be made up by the brain, American dramas have made thrillers for it.
After a stalemate of five minutes, the sound of the water seemed to be quieted again, as if the aquatic creature had sunk into the deep pool again. I just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly there was a loud "bang", and the water rushed to my face, Sheng Shiyao took me to the side to dodge, but the water column was wide, and the two of us were still drenched with water, and the clothes on our bodies were wet.
Sheng Shiyao's voice as small as a fine mosquito came from his ears: "It's not good, it smells of water!" ”
I was horrified, it wasn't a crocodile, it was the lake monster, it was hiding here! Before we could react, another jet of water sprayed over, hitting my body, you can imagine the force, I was rushed out two meters away at once, and I also took off Sheng Shiyao's hand that grabbed me, and I rolled on the ground in pain.
