Chapter 294: Trapped
"Brother..."Xing approached Li Xing a little bit with some fear, and began to congratulate himself in his heart that he had told Li Xing about the task. Otherwise, she would be alone in such a place. Luckily, I couldn't imagine the consequences.
Li Xing's pupils condensed into a line, and he finally barely saw the situation here. He stood in the center of a gloomy crossway, with a passage leading to the front of him, to the left, and to the right. The passage is long and has no end in sight, and the walls of the passage are pitch black and smell rancid.
Obviously, the smell that made everyone vomit came from them.
"Brother..."Xing looked at Li Xing. "What do we do now?" he asked. β
Came to a crystal void area, and it was an obvious labyrinth, and even the map didn't work, this situation was enough to make the inexperienced Asuna and the others at a loss.
"How can we get out? It doesn't look like there's an exit. Shiyin looked around, blinked her eyes, and said stupidly.
Xing also looked at Shiyin blankly, and her heart was at a loss, originally, being trapped in a game that could die at any time had already made her feel gloomy, if in the end, she and the others had to be trapped in a dark maze with nothing in the sky, then she would definitely collapse.
The hand subconsciously tightened, and this tightness immediately came from a hard touch in the palm of the hand. "This transfer crystal is still there!" Fortunately, he found out that the transfer crystal in his hand still existed, and when he heard Xing's words, everyone turned their heads to look at Xing. At the same time, I saw the transfer crystal that had not changed in the slightest.
"What kind of transfer crystal is this?" Li Xing couldn't help but speak: "Not only can it be teleported in groups, but it can also be used many times. If the player has such a transfer crystal, then it will be much more convenient. β
"Brotherβ" Yuki held up the transfer crystal in his hand. He said in surprise again: "This transfer crystal seems to be tradable."
"Oh?" Li Xing obtained the transfer crystal from Xing's trading column, looked at the only transfer crystal that did not show a gray state, clicked on it, but did not even react at all.
With a roll of his eyes, Li Xing whispered, "Get out of here!" β
The transfer crystal did not respond
"Get out!"
ββ¦β¦β
Still no response
"Open Sesame!"
"Jackfruit!"
"Ma Mi Ma Mi Bang!"
"Little rabbit, open the door..."
"Hurry up! If you don't open it, I'll smash you! β
"We're not going to be locked up in this forever, are we?" After everyone tried to recite a spell that might not have existed, Asuna uttered something that sent chills down everyone's minds.
"No, it won't." Li Xing put down the transfer crystal, glanced at the four dark passages around him, and said, "There will be no mortal setting in SAO. Wouldn't open a map that is impossible to leave for no reason, isn't there a road here? Let's take a look. β
Glancing around at the four identical passages, Li Xing casually chose a direction and walked towards the passage in front of him, and everyone hurriedly followed.
"Be careful, I don't know if there are monsters." Li Xing walked forward cautiously and guarded.
Walking in the passage, the group did not speak, the atmosphere seemed very heavy and deadly, and the hands of Xing and Shiyin were tightly clasped together. Like a girl who has entered a haunted house, her face is full of anxiety, and she is always worried about where a monster will pop up.
Although Asuna was better, she was also tightly pulling the corners of Li Xing's clothes. The passage is not a one-stop path. After walking for a while, a three-way intersection appeared in front of everyone.
Li Xing pondered for a moment, and then chose the front again. But it didn't take long for another three-way intersection to appear in front of me. Li Xing could only continue to choose the passage directly ahead.
The passage is not a straight line but zigzag, and there are one after another forks in different directions mixed in the twists and turns. Coupled with the fact that the road was not straight, it didn't take long for the group's heads to begin to become a little dizzy, and their hearts were more or less worried. It's not going to be endless.
Fortunately, soon, the road finally came to an end! But no one was happy, because it was a dead end.
"We... We don't really have to be locked up here forever, do we? Shion was already scared, and Yuki hugged her body.
"Shiyin, don't say it!" Li Xing didn't speak, nodded on his tiptoes, and then quickly reflexively walked back, taking everyone around the passage together.
I don't know how many times he turned, but in the end, he stood firmly in front of a three-way intersection, looking at the three passages, and was silent for a long time.
There are too many forks in the road, and I don't know how long it will take to try one by one.
In this chaotic labyrinth world, taking everyone to walk in the chaotic labyrinth, Li Xing's footsteps are much faster than at the beginning, his face is calm, but his eyebrows are tightly wrinkled, looking ahead, trying to calm down, trying to find the path he has walked from memory.
The labyrinth is very complicated, even if Li Xing's memory is extraordinary, he can remember the first section of the road, the second section of the road, and the third, fourth, fifth and even all the roads, but all the road environment is the same, the problem of the sense of direction has nothing to do with the memory ability, so lost. He couldn't find his starting point, and even if he did, the end of the passage he chose was always a dead end.
Obviously, this labyrinth is a test. It's not a person's memory, to put it bluntly, the labyrinth, sometimes more terrifying than the boss of the guard. Because the boss can only defeat a person's body, the maze can break a person's mind.
With the passage of time, everyone has begun to be in turmoil, and they are all in an extremely impetuous mood, and their faces are very unsightly. A trace of anger frequently appeared on everyone's expressions, and I believe that if this continues, I am afraid that the people here will be the first to collapse.
Seeing this scene, Li Xing was silent. The heart is full of gloom.
The method of memorizing the channel is no longer possible in the face of cookie-cutter scenarios. And marking, a common way in the maze area, also does not work here, because the map fails, and the marker function is on the local icon
β¦β¦ Scratches are carved on the floor or walls, or things are left behind to mark where you have walked, none of these methods are of any use. It's common sense in SAO that scenes can't be destroyed, even if something is lost to mark it. After a minute, it will disappear automatically, which is not only wasteful, but also has no effect.
