Compared to the road in the water, the eyeliner passage can be said to be not difficult to walk. Wei Yi walked briskly with Situ Nan in this passage. There was a slight wind in the air, with a damp air, enveloping them and moving slowly.

By the light of the flashlight, Wei Yi saw that the entire passage was gradually getting wider and wider. Gradually, some irregular edges and corners began to appear on the rock wall. From time to time, you can find some fragments of stones scattered on the ground.

This made Wei Yi hesitate. He couldn't be sure if the stone used in the previous place had been taken from here. Because it is obviously impossible to get it from the water. But the next discovery reaffirmed his determination to continue.

When they passed by the pile of broken stones again, out of physiological need, Wei Yi walked to the pile of stones, intending to relieve his hands. But by accident, he found a large puddle of water on the pile of stones on the ground.

Wei Yi walked all the way, and did not find any water source at all. Moreover, although there is some dew on the rock wall, it is obviously impossible to form such a large puddle of water. There's only one explanation for that, and that's that someone has been here.

Wei Yu hurriedly beckoned Situ Nan and said, "Situ, come and see, there is a clue here." ”

When Situ Nan heard this, he hurriedly ran over. Wei Yi pointed to the large puddle of water and said, "You see, this doesn't look like it's a natural formation. There is no water around, so it is impossible for such a large puddle to appear. I think it's artificial. ”

Situ Nan nodded and said, "That's right." Look again. See if there are any other clues around? ”

Wei Yu answered, and walked a few steps closer to the puddle of water. But when he squatted down to check, he smelled a strong smell of urine. He hurriedly stood up, shook his head and smiled, and was about to leave when the light of the flashlight shone on the rock wall beside him.

A stone carved pattern quietly appeared in front of Wei Yi's eyes. Wei Yu stopped to take a closer look and found that it was a crooked triangle carved in stone. One of the arrows in the triangle was deliberately elongated, pointing straight in the direction they were heading. Wei Yi hurriedly called Situ Nan over.

Situ Nan ran to Wei Mi's side in a few steps. Ignoring the smell of urine in the air, he carefully looked at the pattern of the moment. This must have been a deliberate mark. It's just that this place to leave a mark is really not very well chosen.

Wei Yi saw that Situ Nan didn't make any other discoveries, so he hurriedly pulled Situ Nan out of this place. The strange smell was really unbearable for him.

Wei Yi said to Situ Nan as he walked: "Now it seems that this must be the right direction." But who will leave it? With such a big place, why not choose a good place? In such a corner, if you don't look carefully, you really can't find it. ”

Situ Nan listened to Wei Yi's words and thought for a while. He pondered for a while and said, "Could it be that this person who left the mark is inconvenient to keep it openly, so he can only leave the mark secretly?" ”

When Wei Yi heard this, he felt that Situ Nan's analysis made some sense. According to common sense, a person who is free of action obviously will not leave such a mark. That can only show that the person who left the mark has received restrictions.

And in such an environment, what kind of restrictions will that person be subjected to? Wei Yi and Situ Nan thought of a possibility almost at the same time. That person is likely to be Li Mingyu who sent a distress signal.

Wei Yu hurriedly said to Situ Nan: "It may be Li Mingyu." Hurry, let's go faster. The smell of that place is so strong, it must have only been left for a long time. Let's hurry up and go, maybe we'll be able to see it. ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly forward. Situ Nan responded, followed Wei Yi closely, and walked quickly.

After that, they deliberately pay attention to those inconspicuous corners, so as not to miss the marks left in the shadows. Sure enough, along the way, they could find many hidden marks from time to time. This strengthened Wei Yi and Situ Nan's determination to continue walking.

They followed the direction of the signs, all the way, and gradually drifted away. Slowly, Wei Yi noticed that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed again. In the air, there was the sound of slow running water, drifting in the distance.

As he walked, Wei Yi looked at the surrounding rock walls, paying attention to some inconspicuous corners. Suddenly, he noticed that there were some extremely small holes in the rock walls in front of him.

The holes were extremely small, and the thickest one was no thicker than a small thumb. They are densely distributed on the rock walls. As far as Wei Yi's eyes could see, he saw no less than hundreds of such holes.

Wei Yi tried to look into one of the larger holes. But he had limited tools, and even with the help of the light, he couldn't see how deep the hole was. From time to time, there will be some small sounds coming from the hole.

He listened intently, and it seemed that he could hear some noise in the cave. But it didn't really sound like it. The sound of water wafting throughout the passage invisibly weakened the sound coming from the hole. Wei Yi listened attentively for a moment, but there was no real gain.

Situ Nan, who was not far from him, saw him leaning against the wall, thinking that he had found something again, and walked over in a few steps. But when Situ Nan saw that Wei Yi was just studying these inconspicuous holes, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Situ Nan patted Wei Mi on the shoulder and urged, "These are just small holes formed naturally, and there is nothing to study." I guess the rock structures here are probably all limestone. After being corroded by water for a long time, there will naturally be these things, and there is nothing to study. Let's hurry up. Time waits for no one. ”

At Situ Nan's urging from time to time, Wei Yu had to give up studying these strange holes and continue to walk along the passage. They stopped and stopped along the way, passing through many forks in the road. Almost every time, you can find a mark in a corner.

Of course, there are times when you can't find it. At this time, Situ Nan would take the initiative to explore the way, leaving Wei Yi to wait in place. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Soon after, they came to a fork in the road. From here, they found that the markers were becoming less and less. And all the marks were not carved into the stone wall, but were piled up with a few pieces of broken stone.

Wei Yi and Situ Nan didn't pay much attention to this detail. Wei Yi guessed that it might be the person who left the mark, out of some prudent considerations, so he changed the way he left the mark.

But after walking for a while, Wei Yi noticed that something was wrong. They seem to be in some kind of labyrinth. He found that they had been going back and forth all the time, and had not gone very far. This was discovered by him by inadvertently kicking away a pile of broken stone markers.

After passing through a few forks in the road, Wei Yi accidentally kicked away the pile of broken stone markers he had just discovered. He didn't care at the time, but continued to walk in the direction indicated by the mark with Situ Nan. But when he followed the mark, he was horrified to find that they had gone back to the place.

On the ground, the pile of scattered broken stones was extremely dazzling in front of Wei Yi and Situ Nan. Wei Yi stepped forward in a few steps, looked and looked, his brows furrowed as if he could twist out a pimple.

He turned his head sideways at Situ Nan and said helplessly: "We seem to have been tricked." Look at this bunch of stuff. It looks like the pile I just kicked over. Maybe it's all a trap. Someone deliberately misled us with these things. ”

Situ Nan's brows were also furrowed. He also felt that it was a deliberately misleading signal. But he is not reconciled, he has been tracking for so long, is he really going to give up his efforts?

He pondered for a moment and said, "Don't jump to conclusions just yet. So, old way, you wait for me here, and I'll take the rope and probe forward. ”

As he spoke, he took the rope and ran in the direction he remembered. Wei Yi waited quietly in place for a while. Soon, Situ Nan ran back in shorts.

Wei Yi was slightly stunned, and only when he saw the rope in Situ Nan's hand did he understand. It turned out that Situ Nan tore all the clothes on his body into strips of cloth and extended the length of the rope.

As soon as Situ Nan returned to Wei Yi, he sat on the ground. He cursed hatefully, "Damn, it's really a trap. Who is so hateful, when I catch him, I must make him look good. ”

Wei Yi softly comforted Situ Nan and eased Situ Nan's excitement. He turned his head to carefully examine the three forks in front of him, and his mind involuntarily flashed to the similar place he had walked through. That labyrinthine place, he really didn't want to go again.

But for now, what should they do? Could it be true that you have to go back the way you came? He thought carefully for a while, and suddenly asked Situ Nandao: "Situ, you said, since these stones were deliberately placed by someone. So how are they going to get out of here? ”

Situ Nan was stunned for a moment, then slapped his legs and laughed: "Haha, yes." Since they want to put these things, they must have been here themselves. Let's find out. Maybe we're missing something. ”

As he spoke, he got up and quickly searched his surroundings. Wei Yi also hurriedly searched around, hoping to find any traces. But they searched here for a long time, but they didn't find anything.

Wei Yi pointed to one of the holes and said, "I'll go and take a look one by one, you are waiting for me here." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Situ Nan to agree, picked up the rope, and ran to the entrance of the cave. He carefully observed all the way, and after passing one fork after another, he finally found an extremely fine mark on the stone wall of one of the holes.

The mark was extremely vaguely depicted, as if it had been scribbled casually. But this artificial imprint finally gave Wei Yi a clear direction. He ran back excitedly, beckoned his boss Tu Nan, and quickly rushed back.

Situ Nan looked at the mark and said, "It seems that it may be a mark left by two groups of people. Those piles of stones were deliberately left behind to mislead us. ”

Wei Yu thinks so, too. They discussed it for a while and decided to follow this mark all the way.

They followed the direction marked by the mark, all the way. Along the way, there are still some markers of broken stones from time to time. But neither Wei Yi nor Situ Nan paid any further attention. They were just single-mindedly looking for the markings carved into the stone walls.

Soon, they followed the marks on the stone wall and left this labyrinthine place smoothly. However, they did not walk long before they encountered the same fork in the road again. This time, however, there was no mark. Neither on the wall nor on the ground, none of them.

Wei Yi and Situ Nan carefully checked the three cave entrances for a long time, but they still found nothing. Wei Yi couldn't help but say suspiciously: "It's strange, why is it all gone?" Could it be that we are missing something again? ”

Situ Nan shook his head and said, "There will be nothing missing." I've been keeping an eye on it all the way. If anything, I'm sure I'll be able to see it. ”

As he spoke, he took the flashlight from Wei Yi's hand. I took a closer look at my surroundings through the light. After a while, he pointed to the passage in the middle and said, "Let's go this way." Maybe the man didn't have time to make a mark, or maybe something happened and he couldn't take care of it. Let's try it in the middle first, and if it doesn't work, let's go back. ”

Wei Yi nodded and walked in first. They are in this passage, going farther and farther. But there was no more fork in the road, and no signs were seen again. This made their hearts shake a little.

"Maybe it's a mistake." Wei Yi said, "Why don't we go back and try another way?" ”

Situ Nan thought about it and did not object. So the two men turned around and prepared to go back. But Wei Yi turned around and shone a flashlight, but suddenly discovered an extremely terrible thing.

The road behind them, at some point, turned into a steep slope that sloped upward. Wei Yi and Situ Nan glanced at each other. In the eyes of both of them, there was a sense of disbelief that could not be concealed.

They had been walking on a flat road just now. How did it take so much effort to become like this?

They hurried back for a while. But when they ran up the steep slope, they suddenly found that the road they had come from had turned into a road that diverged from left to right.

"There's something wrong with that." Wei Yi stopped first. He subconsciously touched the stone wall beside him. This stone wall does not feel cold to the touch, but has a warm feeling. Wei Yi felt through the palm of his hand that the stone wall under his hand was extremely smooth and slightly elastic.

Wei Yi's heart sank in an instant. This feeling, he is too familiar. He'd already touched it more than once. He smiled bitterly at Situ Nan and said slowly, "It's really a big trouble now." ”

Situ Nan asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?" What's in big trouble? ”

Wei Yi pointed to the stone wall and said, "You touch it, don't you think there is anything wrong with this stone wall?" ”

Situ Nan walked to the stone wall with a puzzled face, stretched out his hand and touched it carefully. After a while, he spoke: "It's completely different from the feeling I felt before. It doesn't seem like it's all stones. What could it be? How can it still be resilient? ”

Wei Yi smiled bitterly and said slowly, "Bloodthirsty vine." We are most likely in the body of the Bloodthirsty Vine now. ”

Situ Nan was stunned for a moment, and continued to laugh "haha". He shook his head and said, "Brother Wei, you are really joking. That kind of dangerous thing, kill people when you see them, how can you and I stay here so peacefully? Impossible. When pigs fly. ”

When Wei Yi heard him say this, he also felt that it made sense. But he had the experience of entering the body of the bloodthirsty vine twice, so he was naturally very clear. This thing is not what Situ Nan said.

He pointed to the stone wall and said to Situ Nan: "I have been here twice, and I am very familiar with the feeling of this stone wall. If my judgment is correct, we may indeed be within it now. ”

Situ Nan shook his head, still unwilling to believe what Wei Yi said. He did hear similar rumors. It is said that the bloodthirsty vine has undergone a mutation and has become an extremely large creature. There is a large space in its body. But that's just rumors. Because no one has seen it with their own eyes. I haven't heard of anyone who can come out alive after entering the body of the bloodthirsty vine.

Therefore, no matter what Wei Wei said to Situ Nan, Situ Nan couldn't believe what Wei Wei said. Wei Yi couldn't, so he had to stop arguing with Situ Nan on this issue for the time being. Now, they have to find the right path.

Along the way, they didn't pay much attention to the specifics of the surrounding rock walls. Now I want to go back and go again, only to find that the way I came has changed. Wei Yi knew in his heart that this must be a ghost made by the bloodthirsty vine. But why didn't they shrink the channel all at once and squeeze them to death at once?

Wei Yi had encountered such a method a few times. But now we can still be so peaceful, it's just that we have changed the road, and nothing else. This is obviously not something that Wei Yi can know.

Maybe it's because it's a plant in itself, and plants have their own laws. In the end, Wei Yi could only boil this question down to the above ideas. He stood quietly in place, thinking seriously for a long time.

Suddenly, he remembered a similar situation he had encountered. At that time he was looking for the marks of many ropes to discern the way. So why not do it according to the law?

He did what he wanted. Immediately took off his shirt. He began to tear hard with his hands. Situ Nan looked strange and asked, "Wei Yi, what are you doing?" What to do with tearing clothes? ”

Wei Yi simply told Situ Nan about the situation he had encountered. After hearing this, Situ Nan nodded and praised: "Looking at it now, it can only be like this." ”

Situ Nan had already torn off his clothes before, and now he could only go topless and help Wei Yi tear up his clothes.

Within a moment's effort, Wei Yi and Situ Nan tore out numerous pieces of long clothes. They kneaded the pieces into ropes and made several long ropes.

After they did all this, Wei Yi said to Situ Nan: "This place is a bit weird, let's still use the old way, one person will explore the way, and the other person will wait in the same place." ”

Situ Nan responded: "Okay, old rules." I'll come to explore the path, and you can wait for me where I am. ”

Wei Yi shook his head and refused, "No, no, I have to do this." Listen to me. ”

He stretched out his hand to stop Situ Nan's words, and continued: "Your body is stronger than mine, you are waiting in place. If I pull the rope, you'll be thirty paces forward. If I pull three times in a row, you pull me back. In case I kept pulling the rope or didn't move for a long time. You rushed to save me. If I had waited where I was, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it. ”

Situ Nan was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement. Wei Yi's proposal can be said to be very correct. In the current situation, if he Situ Nan takes the lead, if something happens, Wei Yi may not be able to pull him away.

Situ Nan looked at Wei Yi and told him seriously: "Be more careful." ”

Wei Yi nodded, smiled, picked up the end of the rope, and walked out. Situ Nan took the rest of the rope and let go little by little as Wei Yi advanced.

Wei Yi's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. With the help of the light of the flashlight, he moved forward little by little. Behind him, Situ Nan carefully let go of the rope. Wei Yi made every distance he advanced, and after making sure that everything was safe, he pulled the rope. Situ Nan behind him would walk forward thirty steps. Then the rope was tightened again by Situ Nan, and little by little it was released with Wei Yi's forward pace.

They walked cautiously for a long time. In the darkness, only the sound of running water and their footsteps continued to sound. In the empty passage, it was pitch black and there were no fingers, only the light in Wei Yi's hand kept moving.

Just as Wei Yi walked forward again, suddenly, a dull voice came from afar. There was a "poof", as if something had fallen into the water. Wei Yi immediately stood in place, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully.

A slight breeze gently blew through Wei Yi's body. There was an extremely slight sound of talking, which drifted into Wei Yi's ears along the wind. Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, leaning sideways to listen more carefully. But the voice was gone.
