Volume 4 The Great Adventure Chapter 156 The Nine Forks of the Maze
After walking a few hundred meters around, Shenxing Wuji found the quiet gravel path. Then he walked up with a swift wind, and rushed completely with all his might. But what made him feel more and more unsteady was it. It's been a long time since I walked, at least I've run dozens of miles and nearly a hundred miles, but why haven't I encountered any danger at all, and the surrounding silence is incredible?
Could it be that I have taken the wrong path? As soon as this strange thought appeared, Shenxing Wuji became uncontrollably suspicious. The Road of Trials, the Road of Trials! Thinking of what the steward said to himself before, "Seek more blessings for yourself," Shenxing Wuji couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Get back...
This thought was so strong! So much so that after looking left and right for more than a dozen breaths, Shenxing Wuji suddenly began to turn around.
It's just that this time he turned around, he finally found the problem. After he had run for about a dozen miles, he noticed that there was a junction under his feet. There is actually a junction here? Although it is blocked by dense bushes, it is indeed a fork in the road? Where did you come from just now? Or is this already a fork in the road that I don't know? He finally understood what Elder Mei said, you will never find an exit inside, what's going on. It's a terrifying maze!
Not only are there forks in the road, but there are also forks in the back, and you may have already passed a fork in the road before you know it. Shenxing Wuji didn't expect this trial path to be so cheating at all! He was led into a misunderstanding by Elder Mei, he originally thought that this trial path was just a demonic beast, trap and the like along the way, but he didn't expect that there would be such a setting. In addition to having absolute strength to advance like a withering and decaying general, other people don't use their brains and walk around, and they may really get lost in it in the end.
At this fork in the road, Shenxing Wuji stopped, he didn't dare to walk around, but time passed minute by minute, and he didn't have any extra time to waste.
What to do?
Catapulted up the tree, Shenxing Wuji wanted to see the road in the distance, but there was a green tide, not to mention the path, and even the tree trunk could not be seen. It is impossible for you to set yourself on fire and burn down this dense forest within a radius of dozens of miles, right? Got off the tree again, and squatted at this fork in the road and pondered carefully. In the past, except for those who were so lucky, how did others find the right way?
Is there a hint? Is there a pattern? Shenxing Wuji suddenly thought of these two items, so he changed his perspective to look at this fork in the road. This look is really a bit of a clue. This fork in the road turned out to be a standard three-way junction, and there was a proper 120 degrees between the two roads, and if you don't have a sense of direction, you must not know that it is. If the next intersection is like this, if there is no detour in the middle, wouldn't it become a regular net? Shenxing Wuji, who was stunned by himself, squinted his eyes, and now he can only rely on his feelings, if he doesn't retreat anymore, if he can retreat to the moat, he can't say that he will be able to find clues.
Ay... The path of trial turned out to be the path of solving puzzles, and Shenxing Wuji was also drunk! But this time he learned wisely, and when he retreated, he began to mark the tree. Mark?
By the way, there must be marks on the trees, and they must be able to think of anything they can think of, and they are really stupid. I didn't find it so simple, and I can't say that there are seniors who are better than myself, and I can't say what clues I left on the tree. Happily returned to the fork just now, Shenxing Wuji looked carefully, and sure enough, he found that there was a word engraved on a tree next to the fork in the road: Don't keep walking along the left, it is a big circle! So, it should go to the right?
Shenxing Wuji, who got the news, became excited. Standing on the shoulders of giants, I really saw farther. Every time he came to an intersection, he looked for markings everywhere, but sometimes there were markers on trees, stones, and even roads, and some of them were contradictory, until Shenxing Wuji found a large stone slab. He couldn't believe that he was so lucky.
Because there is a painting on this slate, there are a few lines of words next to it: "Later, if you find this slate, count yourself lucky, it took ten full days for my buddy to finish this maze and draw this map, I am not happy that Wujimen is so pitiful to everyone, so the buddies in the back, if you see this, don't destroy it, give yourself a way out, and also give latecomers a way out." Xue Zhijian!" Shenxing Wuji suddenly felt deep respect for this senior named Xue Zhijian, he didn't know if this person broke out in the end, or if he later became a famous person in the history of Wujimen, but at this time, he was sincerely grateful to this person. When he kept this map in his heart, Shenxing Wuji had to sigh, this Wuji Gate was indeed enough to pit, and this Xue Zhijian was too strong, not only drew the map, but also noted several dangers that would be encountered.
This maze should be the deleted nine-fork maze, but because of geographical restrictions, it was split by the masters, and they were connected to each other to form one circle after another. There are a total of 81 ways to walk, but only one can go out. If it weren't for seeing this slate map, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get out of this maze in ten days. But now, following the map, fortunately, before dark, Shenxing Wuji finally didn't see a fork in the road.
Looking back at the different kind of nine-fork maze, Shenxing Wuji realized that bastard, the tree species and shrubs in the maze are basically one type, and he has been blind and didn't see it. Now after walking out, I saw all kinds of flowers and trees, and I was suddenly surprised. In the dense forest, under the residual light of the setting sun, I was silently grateful to the master in my heart, and the gods continued to start the path of trial. However, he had to stop here on his way.
Because, the dark night of the path of trials seems to be beginning to be bloody.
Shenxing Wuji smelled blood, mixed with the smell of earth, very fresh. This shows that there was a fierce fight in this vicinity just now, but it is unknown what level and what kind of creature is fighting. The further you go, the stronger the smell of blood, and even the footsteps are sticky. An unknown fear haunts me. Although Shenxing Wuji is relatively bold, he can't help but get goosebumps at this moment.
Fire can't be born, light can't be beaten! Otherwise, you're a target in the night. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Shenxing Wuji quietly squatted down, lightly dipped a little blood on the ground and sent it to his mouth. Hey, it's full of energy, and the level is not low!
As a pharmacist, it is a basic skill to identify the energy degree of all things in heaven and earth, and the attribute bias is biased. But God Xingwuji would rather not have this ability at the moment. Because after careful screening, he gradually determined that this was the blood of a seventh-level demonic beast, and it should still be in its infancy, but it was also more powerful than the early stage of the transformation realm.
Seventh-level demonic beasts, they died like this, that means... Shenxing Wuji didn't dare to imagine, and for a while, he didn't dare to go any further. Retreating, he actually retreated back into the Nine Forks Maze, and he planned to rest in the maze for a night.
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight broke, Shenxing Wuji woke up. He couldn't wait to get out of the Nine Forks Maze, wanting to know the truth, and then he was dumbfounded. What kind of monster is this? It's so ferocious!
Based on the bones of the dead seventh-level demonic beast on the ground, Shenxing Wuji guessed that the one who attacked and hunted this demonic beast should be an eighth-level or seventh-level mature demonic beast. What is surprising is that in the pool of coagulated blood, a pair of huge footprints can be clearly seen, stained with blood stains and slowly disappearing into the dense forest? There is such a big-footed demonic beast, what kind of demonic beast will it be? It is unknown what the gods are doing, but this has cast a lingering shadow on the road behind him.
Forget it, I don't care about it for the time being, and I can't help it if I really run into it. It's been a day, and the ghost knows how far he's gone. Now that Shenxing Wuji knows a little, I'm afraid that the trial path of more than 500 miles that Elder Mei said refers to the straight-line distance from the outer gate to the inner gate. On this deep path under my feet, I'm afraid it will take a thousand miles.
Continuing to move forward, he walked for about dozens of miles, and this time he was at ease, because he gradually saw some birds, beasts, insects, fish, and even some reptilian snakes. I'm not afraid that you're really swordsman, I'm afraid that you're as yin as before. But as he walked further, the spiritual power released by Shenxing Wuji told him that the weirdness was coming again. There seemed to be more snakes around, and there seemed to be a large clearing in the dense forest ahead. When he stood at the end of the dense forest, he saw that it was a clearing in the forest about two miles in radius. Why is there such a strange terrain, and what the hell is the hundreds of brown stone bags lying in this clearing?
It's weird, it's weird. He could see the path zigzag through the clearing and into the dense forest, but for a moment, Shenxing Wuji did not dare to step into this forest clearing casually. Those stone bags must be mechanisms, and I'm afraid this is a speechless place where you can only teleport except flying. His right hand touched the ring of the clan crest on his left hand, but the lightning flashed, and then he put back the teleportation scroll that had been taken to the ring.
Why did you come to the path of trial? Have you forgotten?
Since there is a problem with this clearing, let's go around the dense forest! It's very simple! But if it were that simple, this wouldn't be the terrifying path of the Infinite Gate Trial. As soon as he stepped out of the path, Shenxing Wuji immediately retracted. Because, only then did he discover that there were a lot of belly carp snakes on both sides of the path, this disgusting and perverted demonic beast, and he didn't want to look at it. Breathe a sigh of relief, look ahead, and then look left and right, Shenxing Wuji smiled bitterly twice, Wujimen, there are really yours!
Rather than facing the belly carp snake that had gone to the sea, Shenxing Wuji would rather fight against these strange stone bags! When he stepped into the forest clearing, these stone bags all began to deform, like the growth of a baby, and slowly the stone bags swelled into a human form. Shenxing Wuji's mind flashed, he knew what these were, it was the Shuren Array! At the beginning, the first layer of his family's elite hall was the Shuren Array. If you don't have a blood warrior at the level of points, you will only be beaten into a pig's head and come out if you go in. I didn't expect there to be so many sorcerers here!
Shenxing Wuji knows that this time I am afraid there is no shortcut. It's just that the Shuren Array, as a crowd tactic, is really effective against ordinary people. But against the descendants of the Shenxing family, maybe your speed won't be able to keep up with me!
