Chapter 39: The Search
The teleportation point and the teleportation array are not in the same place, Shen Yi is not surprised by this, otherwise Zhang Jianjun and the others can directly use the teleportation array to return to the maze at that time, and they don't have to run anymore, and like the teleportation in the dark areas, the positions are always different when they are transmitted in and out.
However, when Shen Yi spilled his soldiers out and searched for a nearby location of several hundred meters, but reported that he had not found any teleportation array, the situation was a little unusual.
The teleportation array symbol marked on the map is here, although it is impossible to be very accurate due to the difference in proportion, but the wilderness is not the world, the entire wilderness is the size of one-twelfth of China, and the map area in Shen Yi's hands is not small, so although there is a difference in proportion, it will not be as large as a few miles.
And from common sense, it is not advisable to separate too far between the teleportation point and the teleportation array.
That being the case, it only means one thing, and that is that it may indeed be hidden in some unknown way.
This is inadvertently in line with Shen Yi's previous speculation - the teleportation array can exist in the wilderness for such a long time without being discovered, and it must have a unique protection method.
"What about trying it with ghost eyes?" Hong Lang said.
Shen Yi shook his head: "I'm not too optimistic that the ghost eye can find the hidden teleportation array. Battles are everywhere in the wilderness, and there are also many fierce beasts with stealth abilities, and there are too many abilities that can break invisibility, such as delusion, ghost eyes, and sky eyes are one of them. If the teleportation array doesn't want to be discovered, it will definitely not be as simple as ordinary invisibility...... Of course, you have to try. ”
The summoned soldier walked around again with the ghost eye, but found nothing, which finally confirmed Shen Yi's guess.
This is a serious blow to everyone, and many things are not afraid of its troubles and difficulties, but they are afraid that they are not even qualified to contact, they cannot find it, they cannot understand it, and they will not be able to start it.
"Otherwise, let's go into the underground river. Zhang Jianjun proposed.
Shen Yi shook his head: "That will waste a lot of time, it can only be the last resort, and you entered from that river without finding anything, I suspect that there is a certain problem in itself." ”
"You're saying that because we entered it in the wrong way, we couldn't discover the true secrets of the labyrinth. ”
"Quite possibly. ”
"But it's only possible, right? If you can't find the teleportation array, you'll end up wasting more time. Zhang Jianjun said.
"True, but if you see exploration as a gain in itself, you don't think it's a waste of time. Shen Yi said with a smile.
Zhang Jianjun was slightly stunned, he nodded: "You are right, on the road of pursuing the unknown, in fact, success and failure are not important, exploration itself is a kind of harvest." But Shen Yi, at least you have to have a train of thought to continue. Now that it's proven that it's impossible to find a teleportation array with traditional methods of detecting stealth, what else can you do?"
"Then we have to analyze its existence first. Perhaps we should first consider the maze itself and the meaning of the existence of the teleportation array, only by knowing the meaning of the existence of these things can we understand the idea of building it, so as to prescribe the right medicine. ”
"The meaning of existence?"
"That's right. Shen Yi has already said with a straight face: "You are also an adventurer of three difficulties now, and you should also know some content about the city." ”
Zhang Jianjun nodded slightly.
Shen Yi said: "According to my understanding of the city, I think this underground labyrinth should not have been opened by the city, but by a group of adventurers in the previous era. There are many reasons for this, such as the fact that we have found similar hidden spots, but the most important thing is that if it is opened up in the city, there is no need to make it so hidden. Everything that exists in this world has a purpose, and that is to make us experience and make us strong. A secret dungeon that has been hidden for a hundred years without being discovered...... No, this does not meet the needs of urban construction, it has no existential significance. ”
King Kong Interface: "In this way, the concealment of the teleportation array is much easier to understand. Because its deception object is not adventurers, but the city, its hidden ability must also be very powerful. Throughout the wilderness, there were nine teleportation arrays like this, scattered throughout the wilderness. The teleportation array and the underground river are their way of entry, and the labyrinth is their rallying point. If it was also created by some former anti-urban group, then it is conceivable that this group is more powerful and tighter than the one that built the castle in the valley in the first place. ”
Shen Yi recognized King Kong's words very much: "That's true, I guess it won't be the adventurers of the first age, at least the adventurers of the second or third age, maybe it is the masterpiece of the group of rebels who left the stone tablet in the first place." ”
Zhang Jianjun only had a slight idea of the Second and Third Ages, but he didn't know anything about the forces of the Valley Castle, but he also knew that this was a matter of secrecy, and he could listen to what he could understand, and it was best not to take the initiative to ask if he didn't understand.
Here Gentle has already said: "Since it is used to deceive the city, with our current ability, I am afraid that it will not be solved." ”
"Not necessarily. Shen Yi replied: "Deception has nothing to do with ability, the focus is on prescribing the right medicine." The teleportation array wants to deceive the city, not adventurers, so the threshold of finding the teleportation array may not be more difficult than we imagined......"
"So you think the person who created the labyrinth left a chance for adventurers?"
"Yes!" Shen Yi replied with certainty, he said as he pondered, "This opportunity should be able to bypass the city's permissions, but it can be used freely by adventurers...... What could it be?"
He whispered to himself, his brain had begun to spin rapidly, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "System reward!"
"What?" everyone snapped.
Shen Yi had already shouted: "If the adventurer doesn't want the teleportation array to be discovered by the city, then why does the map appear in the city's system rewards?"
Everyone was stunned at the same time, and Shen Yi had already shouted: "It's the rules! It's the use of the rules! No one can really deceive the city! The teleportation array created with the power of the city can't really deceive the city, but if the opening and closing of the teleportation array can be incorporated into the rules of the urban system itself, the situation will be very different." ”
"Are you saying that the adventurers in the past found a way to use the rules, and they took the initiative to integrate the opening and entry methods of the underground labyrinth and teleportation array into the system, and then formulated the rules for entry, so that even the city itself could not break its own rules?"
"That's right, remember the superartifact design we were involved in? Didn't that really bring our design into the urban system? If, I mean, someone can bypass the Supreme Council and directly feed some kind of new design into the system, such as getting the key, they can enter the teleportation circle and solve the mystery of the labyrinth, then even the city can't stop it. Interestingly, the key is a system reward and is destined to be obtained only by adventurers, so whether it is the Supreme Council, the Juggernaut, or the City Guardian, they are limited by the rules and cannot participate, so they can't know, or if they do, they can't crack it. ”
"Where's the key?" everyone asked.
"Do you still need to ask?" Shen Yi had already opened the map in his hand: "Isn't this the key? it tells us where the teleportation array is, leading us to find it, and in those years of trying to resist, that may be the best way for them to secretly attract newcomers to join...... Some things are not complicated enough, but not simple enough. ”
Saying that, Shen Yi had slowly opened the map, and the * mark on the dark jungle on the map flickered a little light.
If it weren't for the psychological preparation, this faint flash would probably be ignored by everyone, but at this moment, it has become a light in the darkness that guides everyone's hearts.
Shen Yi tried to turn around, ran forward for about 100 meters, found that the light weakened, and knew that there was a problem with the direction, so he turned and ran again, tried it several times, and soon found that when he went further east, the more shining the light marked by * on the map.
"This is the direction!"
The guess in his heart was confirmed, and Shen Yi's excitement was beyond words.
Following the instructions of the light, they finally ran to another blank area, still without a single tree, but there was not a trace of the teleportation array. Further on, the light was weak instead of bright, which obviously meant that this was where the teleportation array should exist.
"It's right here!" Shen Yi said with certainty, "But there should be something missing." ”
"If it's used to attract unknown adventurers, it shouldn't be too difficult. King Kong immediately said, "Try a drop of blood." ”
"It won't be so old-fashioned, right?" Hong Lang stuck out his tongue.
Shen Yi said without hesitation: "I hope to be so old-fashioned." ”
He did drop a drop of blood, but unfortunately there was no movement.
This was a big disappointment.
These "ancients" were too cautious.
But soon, Shen Yi's attention was attracted again by the * mark on the map.
"Hell. He muttered.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Yi didn't answer, but almost buried himself in the map, looked at the mark closely, and almost used a magnifying glass to observe.
While watching, Shen Yi muttered admiration: "Oh my God, this is not a *mark ......"
"And what is it?" everyone was shocked.
"Micro carving!" Shen Yi spit out two words from his mouth: "Zeus, scan this mark immediately and enlarge it." ”
A light has shone on the marker.
In the influence is a complex six-pointed star teleportation array pattern, the original so-called * mark, in fact, is the blurred display of the six-pointed star array after the extreme miniaturization.
As soon as he saw this array, Shen Yi let out a hearty laugh: "Great, these guys are simply geniuses! They didn't leave the teleportation array at all, but they left the method of making the teleportation array, as long as it was in the designated place, you could build this teleportation array by comparing it to the figure! It can only be used once, and then it will be automatically destroyed, because it doesn't exist, so there is no possibility of being found and destroyed at all, and the materials for making these teleportation arrays can be easily found even directly around here, they are not difficult to obtain at all!" Of course, you still need a little alchemy to make it, but luckily I have!"
"Clever ideas, this is probably the best way to hide from the city. Gentleness couldn't help but admire: "The only thing I can't figure out now is how they managed to integrate their designs directly into the urban system without permission." ”
Shen Yi also nodded and said, "That's exactly what we need to know, maybe it will be the greatest discovery of this trip." For now, let's go collect the materials specified in the graphics, and we'll soon be able to enter the underground labyrinth and explore its secrets. ”
