Chapter 337: Labyrinth

"How many forks are there here, why have we walked for so long, and we haven't reached the real location yet!" Lin Mo looked at the stone walls around him that had not changed much, and said with a frown.

It has been about a stick of incense to enter the cave, but Shen Cong and the others are facing a continuous fork in the road, whenever this time, they naturally have to find the little guy to help, where the treasure is, then the destination is naturally there, so it has always been the little guy to guide the way, and everyone is following behind.

I thought that according to this method, I could find the treasure quickly, or at least I should get out of these deceptive forks in the road. But after walking for so long, there hasn't been much change, which can't help but make people suspicious. Shen Cong's brows were also slightly furrowed, when he came to this cave, he felt that there was not much danger, so Shen Cong withdrew instead of continuing to go deeper.

After all, Shen Cong's main purpose was to find Gu Shun and the others, after all, there were many dangers in the secret realm, and several people did not have enough strength to protect themselves, and Shen Cong was afraid that something would happen. And the cave here has the guidance of the little guy, and it should be possible to get twice the result with half the effort, but after actually coming, I found that it is not so simple.

"There are no traces of formations around, these corridors are all physical objects. Gu Shun looked around, and had doubted before that it was the influence of the formation that made it impossible for everyone to move forward, but now it seems that it is obviously not.

"Xiaobao, are you lazy? ”

Jin Liu touched the little guy's head and said, the little guy looked up suspiciously, waved his arms, and kept pointing ahead. The meaning is obvious, the path is right, and it is not pointing wrong.

"Keep walking, it's not too much time anyway. Shen Cong spoke, and suddenly paused, Shen Cong looked at the top of the corridor, staring at a position. It's not much different from the other mountain walls, the only difference may be that there is a fine trail there.

If other people saw this kind of trace, they might not have much reaction, but Shen Cong was different. Therefore, this kind of trace can only be chopped out by the blade, and Shen Cong has the sword intent, and has the ability to intuitively distinguish the trajectory drawn by such a weapon. There was a knife mark here, Shen Cong had always thought that this was a natural cave, but now it seems that things are not so simple.

Of course, this smear mark may also be a trace left by the original cultivator who came in. But the probability of leaving a knife mark on the top of the mountain wall is too low.

"What's wrong?" the others looked over.

"It's fine. Shen Cong shook his head and continued to walk forward with the crowd. However, with the impression of the knife marks, Shen Cong couldn't help but pay more attention to the surrounding mountain walls. And with such an observation, Shen Cong really found some differences. These seemingly naturally formed corridors faintly contain many traces of artificial chopping.

The other Shen Cong may not be able to see it, but those that are obviously hit by a blade, Shen Cong can see it clearly. There must have been a lot of people digging here and there to get this scale. But who has such leisure and leisure, to dig such a tunnel, and there are treasures in it.

Cultivators or demon beasts, who is more terrifying. This kind of thing is inconclusive, because the comparison is different, and the conclusions reached are not different. Compared to the destructive power of the front, the natural demon beasts of the same level are superior. But sometimes, the monastic is terrible, more manifested in the intrigue and intrigues.

There were traces of artificiality here, and Shen Cong's heart couldn't help but be much more vigilant. At least not as easy as when I came in before, and I was always on guard against possible dangers. Shen Cong's state seemed to have affected Gu Shun and the others a little, making everyone's expressions more serious than before.

"Chirp!"

After another stick of incense, the little one suddenly screamed loudly, and it seemed very loud in the quiet corridor. Shen Cong looked up, and there was a light in front of him, which was in stark contrast to the dim environment in the corridor. Jin Liu couldn't help but show a smile on his face, there was a light, indicating that there should be different changes.

Stepping out of the corridor in a few steps, there is a huge platform in front of everyone. When I got here, the artificial traces were already extremely obvious, because in the center of the platform, there was a stone tablet, but there was no text on it, it was empty, and on the platform, in addition to this stone tablet, I couldn't see anything in the sky, and it was very empty.

Everyone looked around with some doubts, and after passing the corridor, there was such a place, which was somewhat unexpected for them. The only thing special here is probably the stone tablet, especially since there is no text on it. Everyone stepped forward, and Shen Cong touched the stone stele, which was just made of ordinary mountain stones, and the material was the same as the surrounding soil and stone.

"Can you still feel the location of the treasure?"

Shen turned his head to look at the treasure hunting mouse, the little guy moved his nose, nodded very affirmatively, and pointed his little finger to the back of the stone tablet, where there was a hole, and it was thought that it was the position to continue down.

"Do you feel the danger?" Shen Cong continued, Shen Cong himself did not feel the slightest danger, but there was a feeling of uneasiness surrounding his heart. This uneasiness may be more likely to be the effect of the unknown, after all, the scene in front of us is somewhat unusual.

The little guy shook his head for a moment, and finally shook his head. Shen Cong smiled and rubbed the little guy's hair, the little guy screamed with some dissatisfaction, shook his head vigorously, and some messy hair returned to normal at once.

"Keep walking. Gu Shun said loudly, it is naturally impossible to go out like this, not to mention how many people are piled up outside at the moment, what kind of danger will there be if you exit like this. Just entering such a treasure land, but returning empty-handed, it is too timid.

Shen Cong nodded, threw the little guy on his shoulder, and walked towards the hole. As always, the same feeling as when he came, made Shen Cong suddenly feel as if he had returned to the previous place. Not only Shen Cong, but also Huang Yang and others, these Dao Chiefs are too imaginative, which will inevitably give people an illusion.

Facing all kinds of forks in the road, and Shen Cong didn't need to choose, just follow the footsteps of the treasure hunting mouse. This is the simplest, although there is some superstition, but there is definitely a basis for this superstition.

In an unchanging environment, the concept of time can easily be overlooked, especially in this gloomy environment. Maybe it was a stick of incense, or maybe it was a long time, but when everyone was just walking, they even had a lot less words, and there seemed to be a mysterious atmosphere around them that was suppressing everyone.

This environment is most prone to breeding strange mentalities, with those negative emotions. The knife intent in Shen's mind suddenly shook, and the whole person suddenly woke up, and all negative emotions were swept away. Shen Cong turned his head to look at Huang Yang and the others, Gu Shun didn't have much of a problem, but Huang Yang and the three of them looked a little strange.

"Is it impossible to help a sixth-order powerhouse, does it have an impact on those below the sixth-order?" Shen guessed in his heart, the sword intent swept out, and the expressions of the three of Jin Liu were suddenly shocked, and their eyes became clear again. Shen Cong was still a fifth-order open pulse cultivator in essence, and he didn't compress the true yuan at the moment, so he was also brought by emotions. Fortunately, with knife intent, you can greatly avoid negative emotions affecting yourself.

"How?"

Gu Shun couldn't help but be surprised when Shen swept out the sword intent, only to find that a few people were abnormal. Because of the dimness of the light, there was not even any light, so that Gu Shun did not notice the strangeness of everyone. Of course, the main thing is that Huang Yang and the others have just had a little situation at the moment, so that Gu Shun didn't notice it.

"It's a bit weird here, and it doesn't seem like it's easy to get your hands on. ”

Although Shen Cong had a smile on his face, his eyes were solemn. It seems that there are some unfounded worries, but after only walking such a distance, I am worried. But the so-called falling leaves know autumn, many times some small things can reflect a lot of things, such as now.

It seemed that under the influence of what happened just now, the speed of everyone's progress couldn't help but increase, and soon, a light appeared in front of them. Everyone was on guard and slowly approached and stepped in, but the result made several people stunned.

A huge platform, a stone tablet stands abruptly in the center of the platform, and there is nothing next to it. Isn't this scene the place they just left before, and now they have come back around. Shen Cong walked in front of the stone tablet, how empty it was, and the feeling of touching it was the same as before, just an ordinary mountain stone.

"Labyrinth?" Jin Liu said with a frown, when he walked the fork in the road before, he had already doubted it, and now looking at it again, it seems that only this explanation can make sense.

But just now everyone followed the treasure hunt rat, and the treasure hunt rat advanced on the basis of the breath of the treasure, how could it be possible to circle around again, this is too incredible. And they didn't feel like they were walking around in a roundabout way, and on the whole, it should be a straight line.

Of course, it may also be because of the special influence in the Yongdao, so that everyone's judgment has some faults, obviously it is a roundabout walk, but they have not found the slightest.

"Chirp!"

The little guy looked around and screamed a little strangely. I moved my nose, and the feeling of the treasure was still in front of me, or in the hole behind the stone monument, and this feeling was not wrong.

"Senior, what do you think?" Shen Cong turned his head to look at Gu Shun, if you want to talk about experience, there is no one here who can compare to Gu Shun.

"Keep walking, it's not a maze, just come a few more times. Gu Shun groaned, judging from the current situation, although it looks like a maze, it looks like it many times, which does not necessarily mean that it must be.

Shen Cong nodded, and the three of Jin Liu had no opinion. The worst case scenario is to break through here, unless it is a mountain that weighs on everyone's heads, and if so, then they really have nothing to say. But now there is no need for such experiments, it is really something that can only be done when there is no way.

Continue to follow the little one, this time everyone has increased their speed, and no one wants to stay in this corridor long if they are safe enough. It took a lot of time than before, and another light appeared in front of me, and stepping into that light, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a blank stone monument.

"Keep walking!" Gu Shun said in a deep voice without hesitation. There was no better way, everyone nodded, and the little guy was full of doubts, it didn't understand, it was obviously relying on the breath of the treasure to move forward, how could it keep detouring.

Now the treasure hunt rat is smart enough, and naturally thinks about more things, not as stupid as it was back then, and doesn't think about anything. I don't want to have a lot of harm, but there are also a little benefits. And now that I think about it too much, there are naturally many benefits, but there are naturally some bad things, such as doubting myself.

The fourth stele appeared in front of everyone, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh!

The depressing aura in the cave corridor seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but when the seventh blank stone tablet appeared, the emotions of several people couldn't help but change. It seems that he is really trapped in a labyrinth, otherwise how could he have walked to the same place seven times in a row.

If ordinary people encounter such a situation, I am afraid they will go crazy. Of course, Shen Cong and the others will not go crazy, but it will also exacerbate the negative emotions in everyone's hearts. And this kind of emotion is not attached to the outside world, but it comes out of the depths of the heart, and it wants to be dispelled, but it can't be solved by Shen Cong's sword intent shaking a few times. Even Shen Cong himself was frowning at the moment.

"What should I do?" asked Jinliu.

Shen never answered, the current situation is a bit complicated, the fork in the road chosen by the little guy before has changed every time, there is no law at all, it all depends on the little guy's feeling for treasures. And everyone didn't feel any obvious detours, but just like that, they kept returning to the starting point.

The little guy was a little unhappy at the moment, he could obviously feel that the treasure was in front, but he had been walking for so long, but he was still in this situation. The little guy felt that he should be getting closer and closer to the treasure, but the scene in front of him told him that it was a detour at all, and he didn't find the right position.

If it was in the past, the little guy would definitely go to the end no matter what scene in front of him. But now that I think about it more, I don't have the stubbornness I used to have, or that kind of stupidity.

"Bang bang bang!"

The little guy was very angry and pounded the ground, with the current level of the fifth level, don't look at the small fist, but the attack power is extremely amazing, even stronger than most of the fifth-level demon beasts. A few holes were hammered out of the ground, and cracks climbed out, and dust flew all over the sky.

And when Shen Cong and the others were in trouble, another cave might encounter a disaster.

A group of sixth-order Xingyun powerhouses, among which there are no less than ten people in the late sixth-order stage, such a scale is undoubtedly very powerful, and even if there is any danger, it can be broken blindly. But the truth is not that simple, after entering this cave, the number of dead cultivators alone reached a dozen, and the number of injured was even more.

The vast majority of them were fifth-order vein-opening cultivators, and those who were sixth-order cloud-moving powerhouses were injured at most. It stands to reason that with such a large number of people, it would be easy to eliminate a sect like the Heavenly Master Sect, but now there are heavy casualties.

Formations, all kinds of wonderful formations, and some unimaginable traps. Taken together, these give these would-be treasure hunters a huge dismount. Everyone thought that this would be a natural cave, but when they got here, they realized that it was not the case at all.

The feeling they had now was like breaking into the lair of a big sect, and even though no cultivator had jumped out to fight them, the feeling of having to fight against the formation at any time was also not good.

Naturally, there are formation masters in the crowd, and it is precisely because of the existence of these formation masters that the number of dead people is controlled by these, otherwise it will only be more serious. And after entering the cave, everyone was diverted because of the fork in the road. Each chooses its own path to move forward, and therefore undoubtedly has much less power.

"Boom!"

With a huge explosion, Yue Zi stood in the void, and a demon beast transformed by the aura of heaven and earth in front of him was scattered, revealing the scene behind him. Since entering this cave, such attack formations have emerged one after another, and they have been able to transform into shapes here. If an ordinary cultivator encounters it, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. But Yue Ziling's combat power is extremely high, and these formations have little effect.

And I don't know if it's because no one has paid attention to it for a long time, and many of the power of the formations here have not reached the real limit. In other words, because of disrepair, many formations have loopholes.

Yue Ziling waved his hand, and a whirlwind blew up, sweeping away the smoke and dust in front of him. A ball of blue light flew up, and as soon as Yue Ziling's body moved, he grabbed it in his hand. A sixth-order spiritual weapon, and judging from the fluctuations, it is a sixth-order medium-grade spiritual weapon with an extremely extraordinary texture, and the formation base of the formation just now is presided over by this spiritual weapon.

"Which of you wants this?"

Yue Ziling turned his head to look at his allies, such a thing didn't have much effect on Yue Ziling now. Yue Ziling's main purpose in coming to the secret realm was to collect enough spiritual materials so that he could break through to the level of the seventh-order mountain-moving realm. If we can really achieve that state, then what we have in the future will be several times, more than tens, or even dozens of times that of our current state. Therefore, Yue Ziling's focus now revolves around this, and he doesn't care about anything else.

Giving such a weapon to others can strengthen the relationship between allies. Anyway, it's not much use, and it's not better to use it to strengthen friendship. And when you really need someone else, you must be able to move.

"Then what's embarrassing, it was all Brother Ziling's hand just now, and we are not qualified to ask for it. ”

"Yes, this spiritual weapon is extraordinary, Brother Yue should accept it himself. ”

"I think so, too. ”

The other people were polite, but Yue Ziling shook his head, he still didn't look down on this thing, and more importantly, Yue Ziling understood that the words just now were just polite from these people. Sixth-Order mid-grade spirit weapons were of little use to him, not to others.

Sure enough, seeing Yue Ziling's insistence, the others all had smiles on their faces, and the last few people discussed and separated. Yue Ziling chuckled lightly and turned his head to look into the distance. Using spiritual weapons to arrange the formation, this place must have been extremely prosperous back then, but Yue Ziling was more and more interested in it.
