Chapter 20: Annular Passage

Tianxiang and the old prostitute followed the man's flashlight and saw that there were two melon seed skins on the ground. Then the guy said, "Well, I just took it while I was walking." ”

The old prostitute bent down and directly picked up the melon seed skin on the ground, looked at it and asked, "Is this what you knocked?" Why is there blood on the skin of melon seeds? ”

The fellow nodded, took a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, and replied, "I didn't want to knock it, I felt stuffed with something in my teeth when I was walking just now, so I knocked my teeth and picked my teeth." ”

As soon as the people behind heard this guy finish speaking, their faces turned pale, and they all realized that they were still walking in the passage they had walked through.

However, they did not stop, but tried to walk quickly to the place where the mark had been marked, because only when they saw the mark did they dare to walk back to the original point.

In fact, at this moment, they all know very well in their hearts that they are now walking the original channel, but they don't want it to be like this, so they have to see their own marks before they are willing to admit this conclusion.

After walking for another ten minutes, they stopped at all, because they walked back to the marked position.

This time, no one was left to chance, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, their faces were ugly, and then they began to talk nonsense.

Almost everyone agreed that they had been tricked this time, but they didn't know when they walked into this agency. A qiΔ“ happens unconsciously and without warning.

After a short thought, the little wolf decisively decided to go through it again, as if he had understood what was going on.

He asked everyone to carefully check the situation up and down, left and right with every step, hoping to find the direction to get in, so that they could get out of the way.

This time, they walked for more than four hours on the passage that could have been completed in 40 minutes, and the careful Cheng dΓΉ can be imagined.

In the words of the old prostitute, he no longer knows how many stones he picked off with his hands, but he didn't find the slightest flaw.

The only thing that made them aware was that the passage they were taking was a slow circle, not straight.

Since the stone walls in the passage are not smooth, and all of them are diamond-shaped stones, it is impossible to see with the naked eye that this is a slow bend. But after they tried it with a rope on the ground, they knew for sure.

They took out a 100-meter-long rope and put it in the middle of the passage floor, and then the old prostitute stepped on one end, and the little wolf pulled the rope straight, and Tianxiang and the guys were responsible for watching between them, not letting the rope bend.

The little wolf kept walking along the passage with the rope, but when the rope was lowered to a length of 30 meters, the rope was no longer in the middle of the passage, but was clinging to the stone wall on one side, which proved that the passage was curved. Later, they tried a few more distances and found that the curvature was all inward, so they were sure it was a slow circular channel.

Five hours passed, but they had not found their way in, nor had they found anything unusual on the stone wall. After they sat down to rest, they began to try to recall all the things they had passed along the way, and what was doubtful.

The first thing they suspected was the stone gate between the two mountains, but then this suspicion was overturned.

Because the stone quality of the stone gate has not yet reached the crunchy level of this, and the stones in this passage are obviously different from those in the stone gate, they think that they should have strayed into this mechanism after passing through the stone gate.

Of course, there are also people who disagree, and one guy thinks that the stone gate may be an illusion, and after entering the stone gate, it is equivalent to entering this mechanism.

He suspected that the stone gate outside was designed for the mechanism here, maybe this mountain was just a trap for people, and there was no real passage, and the real passage was on the side of the stone gate.

There were a couple of guys who objected to him, thinking it wouldn't be what he said. If there were only mechanisms in the mountain, then there would be no need to design the stone gate. How can there be a stone door designed specifically for the mechanism, and the five-degree robbery lock is also installed, isn't this equivalent to adding blockage to the mechanism designed by yourself?

You must know that they only came in after opening the stone door, but if they didn't open the stone door, they wouldn't be able to enter, so the mechanism in here is not designed for nothing. Therefore, these people think that they still strayed into the mechanism after entering the stone gate.

All of the above ideas are the opinions of the guys. Little Wolf and Tianxiang, Lao Xuan, and Kui Ye, the four of them have always been in a small group discussion, and they have not speculated with those guys, although occasionally Meng Xinrui and Noke also participated, but they expressed very few opinions.

Kui Ye saw that those guys were a little breathless, so he reminded them not to be too nervous, they were trapped in a most ordinary mechanism, the reason why they are ordinary is because there is nothing unusual about the circular passage itself, this is very common in many mountain tombs, it is not an unfathomable spatial overlap, just an ordinary mechanism.

In fact, the principle is very simple, the purpose is to trap the intruder. All it takes is an entrance to bring the intruder into the circular passage, and then that entrance will close itself at a certain time, or after they have reached a certain location, and the trap point will be triggered, so that the trapped person will always be in circles here.

It is not difficult to break through the circular passage, as long as you can find the entrance to enter, you can safely return the way you came. Of course, the designers of this passage obviously added to the difficulty, because the stone walls here are all diamond-shaped stones, which hide the entrance well. So just now let everyone take a closer look at the stone wall, the entrance must still be on the stone wall on one side, but it is too well hidden, and it has not been discovered for the time being.

Kui Ye said this, in fact, he also wanted to comfort those guys, after all, panic is a taboo on the ground, and these people are here to help the little wolf, so he still has to rely on the identity of the old-timer to come out and suppress the scene and help those guys stabilize their feelings.

The little wolf's idea is to carefully search every inch of the stone wall until he finds the entrance.

But the old prostitute thought differently at that time, he thought that there was no need to be so troublesome, no matter where the entrance was, they only needed to look in one direction and blow up the stone wall a few times at intervals, which might be more troublesome than looking for it again. After all, as long as there is an entrance to enter, it will definitely be shaken out of the gap, and it will be easier to find.

And the old prostitute thinks that even if they can't find the entrance, it doesn't matter, so many people, in such a crunchy stone layer, can make a way out even if they dig hard and fry hard.
