Chapter 040: Earthfire Molten City (8)
"Nonsense! We believe in GCISM, not some bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods! ”
Huang Bin shouted loudly: "The old feudal ideas will not work here!" ”
"Huang Bin! If you can't control your emotions, quit now! The team needs unity, not bickering! ”
Professor Yoo finally started the fire, and he loudly reprimanded his students.
"Teacher...... I...... I...... Alas!! ”
Huang Bin stomped his feet and sat on the floor of the tunnel in a huff.
"Comrade Huang Bin, I wonder if a few of us have inadvertently offended? I hope you can tell me, if there is any misunderstanding, it will affect this rescue operation! ”
Wei Zede took this opportunity to ask, hoping that Huang Bin would be honest and straightforward.
Huang Bin looked at Wei Zede angrily, he jumped up again, pointed at him with his finger and said sharply: "Misunderstanding? There was no misunderstanding between us! If Xiaoyanagi has three long and two short, I ...... I'm not done with you! ”
"Liu Ru?"
"Willow girl?"
Wei Zede and Professor Liu looked at each other, what does this have to do with Liu Ru?
Huang Bin quickly explained: "If it weren't for the parchment scroll you found from Lop Nur, there would have been no archaeological expedition, and Xiaoliu would not have ended up with unknown life and death!" ”
"The parchment scroll I found?"
Wei Zede didn't react for a while.
Professor Liu suddenly realized, he shook his head and said, "Xiao Bin, this can't be blamed on Xiao Ning!" Even if you don't have this expedition, what about next time? Our archaeological expeditions are always exposed to all kinds of unpredictable dangers, can you blame someone else for everything? Besides, Xiao Ning is the hair of Liu Yatou, and he is also worried about this situation......"
"If you think according to you, Liu Yatou still recommends her to lead the team! Shouldn't I, an old man, also take the main responsibility? ”
Huang Bin waved his hand again and again: "Teacher, how can I blame you?" It's all him......"
Hearing this, Wei Zede finally understood that this Huang Bin should be secretly in love with Liu Ru, so he would be so out of shape after Liu Ru disappeared!
"I didn't expect that! The identity that the system arranged for me would be so troublesome......"
Anyway, after figuring out Huang Bin's inexplicable hostility, Wei Zede still secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it's not a good thing to be remembered!
After solving the conflict, everyone can finally focus all their energy on the "ghost retaining wall".
Professor Liu analyzed and said, "Don't panic! With so many of our elite soldiers, we definitely won't be trapped here! However, if you want to get out of trouble, you still need to sum it up. ”
Lin Pengyi took the lead and said: "Actually, I also noticed the strange behavior of Captain Zheng and the others, and then I realized that something was wrong, so I used a special phosphor to quietly make a mark on the wall. Every fifteen minutes for the rest of the journey, the team passes this mark! I was worried that everyone would consume their physical strength in vain, so I couldn't hold back for a while, so I told the situation! ”
He looked at everyone again: "Since Captain Zheng and they have already discovered this situation, I think they have a countermeasure......
When Lin Pengyi finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Captain Zheng Hongzhi.
Captain Zheng shook his head: "This matter of the team spinning in place was the first to be discovered by Comrade Wei, let's listen to his opinion." ”
"Old fox!"
Wei Zede raised a middle finger towards Captain Zheng in his heart, but on the surface he was silent.
"First of all, I want to explain to you that the 'ghost retaining wall' we encountered is just a kind of trapping mechanism designed by the ancients, and according to the information recorded in some classics, this mechanism is called 'Soul Hooking Path'!"
"'Soul Hook'? When I heard this name, I panicked! ”
"What's the use of this mechanism?"
"Sounds mysterious!"
“……”
A group of people said in a mixed manner.
"Xiao Ning, what you said about 'Soul Hooking Path', but the 'Soul Ladder' mentioned in ancient books?" Professor Liu suddenly asked, "Its effect should be to give people the illusion that they can't find the right direction, right?" ”
"That's right, it's the 'Soul Ladder'! Its design principle has been lost for thousands of years, and we didn't expect to encounter it here...... It seems that this legendary 'Da Xianbei Mountain' is really hard to find! No, we've just started, and we're head-on! ”
Wei Zede smiled: "The road ahead will definitely be difficult and dangerous!" Everyone should be mentally prepared......"
"Humph! I didn't even go out of this 'Soul Ladder', and I still think about the future? Excessive anxiety! ”
Hearing Huang Bin's words, Professor Liu could only smile bitterly and shake his head, he had no tricks for this student.
Wei Zede glanced at Huang Bin and ignored him.
"I've tried several things on the road...... Although it didn't work, there were some eyebrows! Although the 'Soul Ladder' here is not the 'Twenty-three Steps' recorded in ancient books, the principle of the two is the same! ”
Pointing to the tunnel ahead, Weizel explained: "Although the tunnel looks straight ahead, it is not! The tunnel has a slope and a curve...... Although the slope and arc are gently imperceptible, it is real! ”
"It's a clever way to use the illusion of the human senses, and with a few small means, it will make us go back and forth in circles in the 'eight' tunnel! As a result, he lost his sense of direction completely, and he became an illusion of encountering a 'ghost wall'......"
"Eight tunnels?"
Everyone was very surprised by Wei Zede's statement, who would have thought that the route taken by the team would be "eight" very similar tunnels?
"That's right! These eight tunnels are arranged in the way of 'Dui, Li, Gen, Xun, Kan, Zhen, Kun' Yin Bagua, and I have already determined this on the road just now! ”
Wei Zede said confidently: "The reason why I took everyone to continue to rush is to find a 'node'!" Once we have found it, we can get out of this 'Soul Ladder'......"
Looking at everyone, Professor Liu said in a slightly tired voice: "Now that Xiao Ning has a clue, we are all working hard!" Walk out in one breath and rest ......"
At the signal of Captain Zheng, the team was temporarily handed over to Wei Zede to lead the way.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Wei Zede took out a torch from the mountaineering bag he was carrying and lit it.
"Comrade Wei, why don't you use the 'wolf eyes' issued by the team? If you don't think the light is bright enough, we can turn it all on, and there's no need to use torches for lighting, right? ”
Captain Zheng asked suspiciously, and the others also nodded in agreement.
Weysed had to explain again: "It's not that the lighting isn't bright enough, it's that I need to use the state of the torch to determine the location of the 'node', which must be the place where the air convection is most intense." The direction of the flame on the torch is easier to determine. ”
"I see! I said that some folk explorers must prepare torches when they explore, so there is still this purpose......"
Lin Pengyi praised: "It seems that Wei Sanye's exploration experience is quite rich!" ”
Wei Zede smiled again: "The use of torches is not only that, such as dispelling mosquitoes and beasts, checking the concentration of oxygen in the air, and there are some special places that also need to use torches to warn!" Like some environments where there is poisonous gas and miasma, the color of the flame burning on the torch will change, which will give the most timely warning to our safety. ”
In his heart, Wei Zede secretly thought to himself: "If you encounter some supernatural things, this torch will also change......
"Don't you hear that 'people light candles and ghosts blow out lamps'?"
