Chapter 543: The Key
Just when we were at a loss, there was a sudden roar, and the caves around the stone chamber that had been closed by the activation of the mechanism were reopened, but the boulder above us did not fall any further. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What does this mean, why are these caves being reopened?" The field chicken was confused.
"That's not right, according to the mechanism settings here, after the mechanism is triggered, the boulder will fall, but after these caves are opened, won't it become the biggest loophole in the entire mechanism, as long as we hide in the cave, we won't be able to escape." Xue Xinrou frowned and said.
"No one would set up such a big loophole mechanism, not to mention that it was God who arranged the mechanism, and there must be other reasons for the cave to open." Gong Jue shook his head and said.
"Will it ......," Ye Jiuqing thought for a moment and said thoughtfully. Could it be that there is another way out here, in these caves? ”
"Dad, why don't you talk now?" Ye Zhiqiu glanced at him. "You've stolen tombs all your life, and you've seen countless mechanisms, have you ever seen a mechanism with another exit?"
Ye Jiuqing nodded, probably thinking that his idea was ridiculous, in fact, when we came here, everyone felt that the existence of these caves was extremely unreasonable, and they still couldn't think of the purpose and significance of these excavated caves.
But as Ye Zhiqiu said, there will definitely not be another exit in the cave here, otherwise the mechanism set up by the ancestral god here will be meaningless.
According to our speculation, in order to open the stone door, we must first find a specific key, which is a mechanism that we cannot crack, and the key should be in the hands of the ancestral god.
This speculation is theoretically correct, but it does not explain another thing that puzzles me, the Twelve Generals have asked me to return to the Demon Kingdom and learn the secrets and truths hidden here.
The Twelve Generals should know everything about the Demon Kingdom, they definitely know that there is this stone gate that I can't open, but they didn't leave me the slightest hint from beginning to end, and from Xie Tianhui and Zhuo Mingfeng's conversation with me, they seem to be very sure that I can reach the Demon Kingdom.
In this way, this stone gate can't always stop me from going to the Demon Kingdom, in other words, there is another way to open the mechanism here, but paradoxically, how could the ancestral god leave two ways to open such an important mechanism?
No! This is impossible, you have to use a specific key to open this place, but the twelve generals firmly believe that I can reach the demon kingdom, which shows that they know that I can find this key.
But the key should be in the hands of the ancestral god, and the ancestral god is obviously in the demon kingdom, how can I get the key?
Unless......
My eyes lit up, and it suddenly dawned on me: "Unless the key to open this place is not in the hands of the ancestral god." ”
"Where would that be?"
I looked back and forth at the caves that appeared around the stone chamber, and the palace lord suddenly reacted: "I know, the key is hidden in these caves!" ”
I nodded, so that I could explain the reason for the construction of these caves, the ancestral god must have hidden the key somewhere in the cave, and if you want to leave here, you must first go to the cave and find the key.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry in and find it." Tian Ji re-mounted his backpack.
"It's not that simple." I sighed worriedly, I had entered the cave before, and it was still with ropes, and it was easy to get in, but it would be troublesome to get out. "The caves are interconnected and intricate, and if you're not careful, you can get lost in them, and I've only walked a small distance, so I don't know what's going on inside."
In fact, if you think about it, you can guess the danger of these caves, the ancestral gods left these caves, and they didn't plan for people to enter and exit easily, not to mention that there is a key to the demon kingdom hidden inside, such a vital thing, the ancestral god will not place it at will.
In other words, these caves are just as dangerous as the stone chamber we are standing in now, and if we rush into it, if we get lost in it, we will lose the last time to save Ye Zhiqiu.
"Rope, take out all the ropes you brought." Ye Jiuqing said loudly. "Go in one person at a time, go as far as the rope goes, leave signs along the way, and see if you can find anything."
We looked at each other, and that was the only way to do it now, tying all the ropes we had brought together, and the palace lord was afraid that there would be a hidden mechanism when he went deep into the cave, so he insisted that he should go in this time.
I tied the rope to him with my own hands, and repeatedly told him to be careful, to go as far as the rope was, and not to let go of the rope under any circumstances.
Gong Jue smiled faintly and nodded, walked into the cave with a torch, and gradually disappeared from our sight, I slowly let go of the rope in my hand, from the speed of the rope stretching, Gong Jue walked very slowly, after a long time, the field chicken behind him loudly reminded the rope to the end.
I hurriedly pulled the rope that was already tight, which was agreed with the palace lord, indicating that he must return immediately, and the rope was not dragged any further.
Bang!
A gunshot came from the depths of the cave, and we were startled, the gun was given to him by Tian Ji before the palace lord entered, so as to prevent danger and use it for self-defense.
"The palace lord should be in danger." Tian Ji picked up the gun and planned to rush inside.
"I'll go with you." I was a little panicked.
"Don't worry." Ye Jiuqing stopped us, looked down and saw that the rope in his hand was still shaking slightly. "Gong Jue is alert, it is impossible to shoot if there is real danger, since the rope is still moving, it means that Gong Jue is still inside, wait a minute, if there is no movement, go in again."
We watched the cave anxiously until we saw the palace lord walking back unharmed as he packed up his ropes.
"What's in there?" I hurriedly greeted him and asked.
"Nothing." The palace lord shook his head in disappointment.
"Why are you shooting if it's nothing?" Tian Ji asked.
The palace lord untied the rope tied to his body and said worriedly, the cave was full of forks in the road, and he felt that we were pulling the rope, but the palace lord found that he had only just reached the edge of the cave labyrinth.
"There was no light inside, and it was difficult to see how big the cave was by the torches alone, so I fired a shot on the spot, and judging by the spread of the gunshots, these caves were like a labyrinth, and the area was beyond imagination."
"How big is this cave labyrinth?" Xue Xinrou asked.
Gong Jue pointed to the stone wall with the Miao knife inserted and said: "With this as the center, it is also the most central position of this mountain, and the labyrinth is being built around this stone wall under the whole mountain, and you can understand by looking at the caves around the stone chamber, these caves are connected to each other, and this is the entrance to the labyrinth, and it is also the only exit." ”
We were taken aback to the fact that the ancestral god could hide the key to the stone wall anywhere in the cave, and without prompting, it would take a lot of time to walk the entire mountain, let alone go around the intricate labyrinth.
"There's an even more tricky problem, this cave maze is obviously set up carefully, I've tested the cave's endurance, and if any part of it breaks, the whole mountain will collapse in an instant, which means that you can't damage any part of the cave under any circumstances." The palace lord said solemnly.
"What then? Who can walk out of the maze without hints, and I don't know where the ancestral god hid the key, we just don't worry about getting lost, and it's a headless fly when we go in. Tian Ji was anxious.
I sighed tiredly, from the beginning of entering the demon kingdom to the present, everyone has not stopped for a moment, all holding their breath to persevere, even if there are dangers, they are not afraid, but the problem is that now we are not facing the problem of whether we can persist at all, but it is beyond our ability.
All the ropes are not enough to get us in and out of the cave safely, but entering the maze without ropes is sure that everyone knows in their hearts what this means.
The nerves that had been tense relaxed, I felt that there was no strength in my body, and the depressed atmosphere permeated between us, I slowly sat down on the ground, as if I didn't have to think about anything to sleep, maybe I was really exhausted, and the whole person felt like I was being evacuated, and I didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Let's rest for the night." Ye Zhiqiu looked at me with some heartache, and then smiled at the others obediently. "Everyone has worked hard for me for a long time, and if I continue to survive like this, I don't know if I can reach the Demon Kingdom, but someone will definitely fall before me."
"Zhiqiu is right, such a big labyrinth will have no clue for a while, and now everyone is exhausted, even if they have to explore the maze, in this state, it is undoubtedly a death to enter." Ye Jiuqing's voice was firm. "That's it, everyone eat some dry food to replenish their strength, and then sleep peacefully, and then think about it in the long term after waking up."
Of course, we didn't dare to rest in the stone room, so we chose a slightly larger cave and slept in our clothes at the entrance, but the palace lord was still a little worried, so let us sleep first, and he was in charge of guarding.
I pulled him to the ground and told him not to be suspicious, and when they were all here, I didn't believe that there would be anything in the cave labyrinth: "According to what you said, if you go in, you will get lost, who can come and go freely in here, sleep in peace, there are many things to count on you." ”
As soon as the palace lord heard it, he felt that it made sense, so he lay down next to me, and it was estimated that everyone was really tired, even in such a precipitous environment, I could hear their even breathing for a moment.
I moved my body to find a more comfortable position, and as soon as I closed my eyes, suddenly there was an ethereal moan in my ears again, I was so tired that I didn't even want to pay attention to it, but the sound kept coming.
I sat up abruptly from the ground, and focused on the direction of the sound until I looked at the dark cave, and the sound came from inside the cave, and it became clearer and clearer, as if something was calling me......
