Chapter 0239: Labyrinth

I followed the numbers Xiao Wei had solved and tried again. X

This time, the trap was never triggered again, and it went all the way to the end.

Then, Uncle Ma and the others also passed the digital slate trap safely one after another and arrived at the gate of the second floor of the attic.

Compared to the ornate decoration of the first floor, the second floor is more like a storeroom, surrounded by countless mahogany chests.

When we opened it, the four of us couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It was full of gold bricks sealed and wrapped in oiled paper!

We roughly counted the number of boxes, and there were almost hundreds.

If each box is full of gold bricks, then the gold stored here will be at least tens of thousands of catties.

"Obediently, this ancient general can be included in the ancient Forbes wealth list."

I swallowed to myself and couldn't help but complain.

Even I subconsciously reached out to touch those bright and heavy guys.

Ma Jiaqian stopped my "sinful" hands, glared at me and asked:

"What do you want to do!"

I smiled awkwardly at her and whispered to her:

"Jia Qian, these are all genuine gold! We just need to take a piece, and we don't have to worry about it in the days to come. ”

Unexpectedly, Ma Jiaqian raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly:

"Humph! Your behavior is undoubtedly tomb robbery and a violation of the law. I advise you to be honest! ”

Ma Jiaqian warned me sternly.

I shrugged helplessly and silently withdrew my hand.

However, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw Uncle Ma in the distance secretly, reaching into the box to take the gold bricks, and taking the opportunity to make a silent gesture at me.

I nodded my head in understanding, and didn't try to expose him.

This old boy is clever.

knew that his goddaughter was a tendon and didn't know how to be flexible, so he simply carried her behind his back and did it secretly.

Hum!

Anyway, those who see it have a share, and I will divide the money in exchange for it when the time comes.

I was dreaming when Uncle Ma suddenly screamed and pulled his hand back from the box.

We rushed forward, only to see a blur of flesh and blood on his left palm, and white smoke, obviously touching something that should not be touched.

"Ahh Damn, these oiled paper wrapped in gold bricks are stained with sulfuric acid! ”

Uncle Ma shouted.

"Humph! I told you not to be greedy, but you just didn't listen, so you're going to be in trouble! ”

Ma Jiaqian complained while helping Uncle Ma dispose of the sulfuric acid on his hands.

After the acid was cleaned, Xiao Wei hurriedly took out the medicine and gauze from the medical bag she carried with her to help Uncle Ma bandage it.

Looking at Uncle Ma's grinning appearance in pain, I couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

Fortunately, Ma Jiaqian stopped me in time just now, otherwise I would have been obsessed with money for a while, and I am afraid that the end would be like this for Uncle Ma.

After the bandage, we didn't dare to stay here for long, ready to move on.

With Uncle Ma's bloody lesson, none of us present dare to fight these gold brick ideas anymore.

I even just want to get away from it quickly, lest I get touched by anything again.

We set off immediately, passing through the lobby on the second floor and heading straight for the corridor that connected to the third floor.

Due to their previous experience, everyone was careful when passing through the corridors, for fear of encountering some terrible traps.

Fortunately, there were ghost mothers and others in front of us, who helped us solve a lot of traps, and indirectly accelerated our pace.

I could feel that we were getting closer to them.

In the next three or four floors, we find an arsenal for weapons and a treasure room for corals, rhino horns, pearls, scrolls.

Because of Uncle Ma's experience, we didn't even touch it, and went straight to the attic on the fifth floor.

When we reached the fifth floor, we were presented with a huge labyrinth of high walls!

At this time, the little Pixiu in my body suddenly came out again.

The little creature looked up to the sky and sniffed the air, and then spoke:

"The man you're looking for is in this labyrinth. But this maze is so weird! I sensed not only the breath of humans, but even the breath of zombies, monsters, and revenants. It's just a gathering of people and ghosts, and demons are dancing! Be careful! ”

As soon as Xiao Pixiu said this, everyone present was stunned.

People, ghosts, corpses, and demons all appeared in this huge labyrinth in front of them, presumably the ghost mother and the countess should also be in it, and they can't get out!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch the cold labyrinth wall next to me, and found it very hard.

And the walls reach up to the ceiling, seamlessly combining with it to form a labyrinth like a secret room.

Uncle Ma also checked the structure of the walls, and found that they were all built with the strongest Sanhe soil in ancient times, which basically put an end to the idea that I would use the golden light talisman to blow it up directly.

The so-called Sanhe soil is actually a building material.

A mixture of lime, clay and fine sand, it has a certain strength and water resistance, and can be tamped into the strongest earthen walls.

Since you can't pass through violently, you can only honestly follow the maze and explore it little by little.

I remember when I was a kid, I always stayed at home alone and played games on the entertainment page of the newspaper due to the lack of playmates.

Sometimes newspapers and entertainment pages will also draw various maze shapes for their readers to try to solve.

At that time, I always had a pencil and happily searched for the exit to the labyrinth.

Later, when I grew up, I gradually understood the technique of walking the maze, that is, the left and right techniques.

The so-called left-right technique, as the name suggests, is to enter the maze, choose a direction, and then stick to the wall and keep walking.

This is the most common method of walking the maze.

The principle is to investigate the topology of the labyrinth.

In fact, no matter how winding the walls of the labyrinth are, as long as it is straightened, it is just a line segment.

The entrance and exit of the maze correspond to the two ends of the line segment, starting from the entrance or selecting any point on the line segment, and going straight down the line, of course, to the exit.

So, I put the idea of walking the maze out, and it was immediately recognized by everyone.

After some trimming, I still took the lead, turned on the wolf's eye flashlight, and took the lead into the maze.

However, not long after we walked into the labyrinth, a figure with a long sword gradually emerged from the corridor where we came.

At this time, we were in the labyrinth, and we hadn't gone far before we encountered a living corpse with blue skin.

Ma Jiaqian subconsciously raised her gun and wanted to shoot it, but I stopped her.

Because at this time, we are in the same attic as the ghost mother and others, and the gunshots will reveal our whereabouts.

Uncle Ma stepped forward and stabbed the head of the living corpse with his sword.

Immediately, a black gas emerged from the living corpse, as if trying to escape.

Seeing this, the little Pixiu under my feet opened his mouth and inhaled the black gas directly into his mouth.

In the end, it smashed its mouth and muttered:

"There's no cultivation at all, it's really not delicious."
