Chapter 34: The Team Disperses
At this time, it was only one o'clock at noon, and the Seventh Master couldn't hold back his mood to rush into the Nanpan Divine Palace. If he succeeds in entering the Nanpan Divine Palace this time, then in the history of the Nanpan faction, in addition to the ancestor Gu Yusheng, the seventh master will be the second person.
This glory is really not light in the eyes of the rivers and lakes.
We packed our things and stepped into the stone forest.
Just like the seventh master said, the entire stone forest seems to be on the top of a circular peak, of course, if it is calculated according to the altitude, the height of this mountain peak should be negative. A few dozen meters above our heads, there was still a faint fog shrouded in the sky. There is gravel all underfoot, but the road is straight.
It was only after a few minutes of walking that a bitter look appeared on our faces: lost. Looking back, we couldn't see the intersection when we came in, and there were stone pillars more than two feet high in all directions, and the shape was similar, and the people who looked at it were dazzled and their heads were dizzy.
"No! I can't do it......" I couldn't stand this kind of scene at all, so I closed my eyes and casually found a stone pillar next to me, leaned on it, and sat on the ground: "This is not a place for people to walk at all!" It's so dazzling, it's much more powerful than the similar maze I've encountered before! ”
The distance between each two stone pillars is about one zhang, although they are only two shapes in total, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, wide in the middle and thin at the end, but because of the large number, and the fact that it itself is arranged with an ancient Kanyu technique, at a glance it is like being in a kaleidoscope of labyrinths, overwhelming, and after a long time, people don't even dare to move their eyes.
There were already beads of sweat on my forehead, and the pig head next to me was also sitting on the ground with his eyes covered, crying bitterly: "Damn, how could I not have thought that there would be such a great power outside!" These abrupt stone pillars are really speechless...... My head is dizzy......"
"We've been around a few times." The voice of the seventh master came from the side of the stone pillar: "But our direction is still correct, according to the observation outside, we should go to the northeast, and we will soon find the center of the circle, this place will not be too ......."
"Come on, pull the rope." The second uncle took out a rope from his backpack and threw it over: "If this place is scattered, it will be really difficult to find." Hold on to this rope, whoever has something to say quickly, don't get separated. ”
I replied with a bitter face, reached out and grabbed the rope, and when I got up, I inadvertently glanced at the toad, and saw that his face was a little pale, and it seemed that the black and red abscesses on his face were extremely dazzling. I muttered to myself that since this operation, the toad's body didn't know what had happened. The blind eye now looks like normal, although the eyeballs inside are still useless......
"Let's go!" When the toad saw me looking at him, he cried out angrily.
I ignored him, turned around and continued to walk forward, now the second uncle, the seventh master and the Budai monk are in front, and the four of us are following behind, and the pace is very slow, because if the speed is fast, we will soon be stunned by those stone pillars again.
After walking for about ten minutes, we still didn't see a way out. At the moment, there are stone pillars all around, and the cookie-cutter arrangement makes us a little helpless.
"Why ......" The seventh master lost his mind for a while, stood in place and looked around, his brows furrowed more and more: "No, our direction is not wrong, except for the stone pillar in front of us, we are also walking in a straight line, the general direction is right, why can't we find the exit?" ”
"Could it be too big?" The pig's head looked sweaty, and he was already dizzy.
"No, it won't." The smile that the Seventh Master always wore on his face had also disappeared: "It won't be too big, I'll go up and take a look later." ”
After that, the seventh master jumped on the stone pillar on one side with a little feet, and his body floated up, taking advantage of the momentum to kick on the stone pillar on one side, and jumped on the two-zhang high stone pillar lightly, standing on it and looking into the distance.
"I'm in trouble......" The seventh master just glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
The second uncle and the cloth bag monk also hurriedly jumped onto the other two stone pillars, and when they looked around, their brows furrowed for a moment.
Among the four of us, except for Liang Ruoyi, who seemed better, I, the pig head and the toad were already dizzy, and I had a wry smile in my heart: It seems that in this case, there is almost no difference in the level of kung fu.
"What's going on?" Liang Ruoyi stood below and asked softly.
"Huh!" The Seventh Master smiled bitterly: "We are not in the stone forest now, but in the sea of stones...... In all directions, there are stone pillars, and there is no end in sight, let alone an exit. ”
"Huh?!" When the pig head heard this, he patted his head painfully: "Then aren't we going to starve to death here?!" ”
"Get out!" I kicked the pig's butt hard: "Even then, when we run out of food, you're the first to eat!" Who made you grow so much meat! ”
"Huh?!" The pig's head glared at me and stopped talking.
The three of them returned to the ground, with bitter faces, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"Do you have an idea?" I couldn't help but look at the three masters and asked.
The second uncle glanced at the cloth bag monk, and the cloth bag monk glanced at the seventh master again, yes, in this case, the most reliable one is the seventh master.
"Hmm......" The seventh master was targeted by the rest of us, and scratched his head rarely: "This...... I don't really have an idea right now. I said a long time ago that the setting of this world and dust does not leave any theoretical system at all, and most of it is speculation, and now, I don't see any clues. ”
"But we really can't wait to die here!" The second uncle was a little anxious, glanced at the cloth bag monk, saw that the old monk also shook his head slightly, and sighed: "It's impossible to go back, you have to continue to move forward and find a way out, right?" ”
The crowd looked at each other, and there was no one in favor of it, but no one objected to it. Liang Ruoyi smashed out all the high-tech equipment in his backpack, and after a few minutes, he was completely deflated: "They have also become a pile of waste." Not to mention judging our location, even the locator of the mountain plains and the big field has lost its signal...... As for the compass, in such a place, it is even more useless. ”
"Well, it's good now." I was also discouraged: "It's really a headless fly." ”
"The shopkeeper of the Gu family is right." The Seventh Master clapped his hands: "No matter what, we can't sit here and wait for death!" It's still early, let's walk slowly, we will definitely find a way out! ”
At this moment, there is no other way. I was the most unbearable with the pig's head, and I felt better after resting for more than ten minutes, so I got up and followed the seventh master and they continued to walk inside.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a faint mist in the stone forest, which made me feel even more uneasy.
I was holding the rope in both hands, and my wrists were already a little numb. The stone pillars around me kept passing by, and I didn't dare to look left and right, my eyes could only stare ahead, otherwise, the dazzling feeling of vertigo would quickly crush me.
In the past year or so of action, what made me feel the most terrifying before was the endless darkness, all around me was black, I don't know where the exit was, that kind of environment, it will quickly make people feel depressed and helpless that they have never felt before, and it is difficult to extricate themselves. At present, this situation has never been experienced, and I have entered the "approximate labyrinth" before, but it is just using similar scenes to confuse us, but now, it is much beyond the effect of the approximate labyrinth.
By four o'clock in the afternoon, the fog in the stone forest was starting to thicken and the visibility was about ten meters low, and everyone was a little exhausted at this time, and the pace involuntarily slowed down - we had been walking in the stone forest for about two hours since the beginning, and we still had not found an exit.
Because there was fog in the air, it was getting darker at the moment, which made me even more tired.
"Stop."
The group's long silence was broken by the Budai monk, and everyone stopped to look over, and saw the old monk frowning at a stone pillar beside him.
"This is?!" The seventh master glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment, we hurriedly surrounded it, and saw that there were some symbols similar to oracle bones on the stone pillars, which were messy, and I couldn't see any rules.
"What kind of text is this?" The pig's head asked thoughtlessly.
"This ......," I glanced at him, "it should be the text of the Gupan clan!" ”
I looked carefully as I spoke, and after a few glances, I felt that I was in a trance, but I didn't go to my heart, because since I entered this stone forest, I have been in a trance, but when I rubbed my eyes and wanted to look again, the second uncle dragged me out!
"What's wrong?" I asked, and when I saw that the Seventh Master and the Budai monk also retreated backwards together, as soon as my words fell, I suddenly felt a chill in the back of my head, and I was suddenly shocked in my heart - this feeling has not appeared for a long time!
The second uncle didn't answer anything, and dragged me around a few stone pillars quickly before stopping, I let out a sigh of relief, reached out and touched the back of my head, and subconsciously said, "Everyone be careful, there is something nearby!" ”
But in the silence, only the breathing of me and my second uncle was left - when everyone dodged just now, the team dispersed......
"Be careful." The second uncle turned his head to look at me and said softly.
"Hmm." I nodded, but my heart was bottomless: we realized before we came in, and if we were separated in this, it would be almost a fool's dream to reunite, and it would be a problem to say whether we could gather or not, whether we could survive!
