Chapter 41: The Labyrinth

After taking two more steps forward, Su Hong suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and he began to fall down.

"Save—"

Before the word was shouted, Su Hong was in the end, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, and the stone made Su Hong's buttocks hurt a little, but the damage did not reach the lowest threshold, so it did not trigger Xiaobai's protection.

"Whew-" Su Hong exhaled and stood up, but he was immediately frightened by the scene in front of him.

Around Su Hong was a rough stone wall, and in the stone wall was inlaid a coffin, made of thin wooden planks, which had become somewhat dilapidated under the washing of time, making a creaking sound in the corners of the shadows, and bringing gusts of yin wind.

Su Hong looked up, and it was clear that the time of the fall was extremely short, but he couldn't see the top at a glance upward, and it was roughly estimated that it was tens of meters high.

"Ah~~~"

A roar suddenly sounded in Su Hong's ears, and a cold hand was placed on Su Hong's neck.

"Ahhh!!hhh

This kind of place, needless to say, also knows what is behind their back.

Su Hong subconsciously kicked a roundabout kick, but a delicate face fell into Su Hong's eyes, and Su Hong kicked Xiaobai's waist.

Hey, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I actually kicked this humanoid Gundam!

Maybe a set of crows can take his life by plane.

As... Wrong is wrong!

Of course, Su Hong was not stupid enough to say that he really wanted to defeat Xiaobai, but instead of apologizing directly, Su Hong thought of a better way.

Su Hong punched Xiaobai's face door again, and shouted in his mouth: "Bold and demonic, you dare to pretend to be the super invincible world's first cute Xiaobai to attack me!" ”

"Poof." Xiao Bai casually stopped Su Hong's fist and couldn't help laughing.

"I was so nervous just now, I thought someone was pretending to be you to sneak up on me." Su Hong said seriously, he judged that Xiaobai was real at the first time, but he deliberately made up for it in order to pretend to be a casual compliment.

Although a woman will worry about whether a man likes her just because of her appearance, no matter what a man likes about her, as long as you say that she is ugly, no matter which woman will be angry, on the contrary, if you praise her for being beautiful, she will never be angry because of it.

"Hmph, count you as talking."

Whew, Su Hong breathed a sigh of relief, Xiaobai didn't bother with him, he survived again. Sure enough, women are dangerous and difficult, and cats are better approached, but even if they are the same individual, cats are more accessible than humans, is this because appearance has an impact on psychology?

"Haha..."Su Hong snorted, and then began to change the topic: "What should we do next?" ”

"I'm not sure, but each tomb has a very distinct personal characteristic, and depending on the personality traits of the tomb owner, the degree of danger and opportunity can vary greatly." For the next journey, Xiao Bai can't be sure, she limits her perception ability to the same level as Su Hong, but compared to Su Hong, Xiao Bai still has more experience.

"And here it is?"

"It's obviously a labyrinth, but it's not that simple, although the owner of the tomb told some of his glorious deeds to the comer, but the owner of the tomb is obviously more cruel, every coffin here is filled with dolls, and they are dolls made by living people." Xiaobai approached the coffin and looked inside a few times through the gap.

"Dolls?"

"There are not only puppets in the coffin, but also Gu worms, which are very evil."

Su Hong swallowed his saliva, "By the way, the owner of this tomb seems to be a marshal of some country, have you heard of it?" ”

"Then I don't know, the world I'm in is very big, and there are countless countries, there are 3 countries in my race alone, and there are more than 10,000 races that can have a foothold in the world, and there are also mixed-race subspecies, the forces are countless, and the bigger the race, the more it will be divided into several countries, there seem to be six or seven countries in the human race, I don't know the specifics, and there are even more small countries that have established themselves as kings."

Unlike simply human beings ruling the earth, the world country in which Xiaobai is located is not the largest political system unit, there are race-based alliances above the country, similar to the United Nations, and on the basis of race, there is a larger alliance divided according to the inter-ethnic relationship, which can be compared to the existence of the Galactic Federation in the novel, and on top of this, there is a larger alliance dedicated to fighting some monsters that go against common sense.

"So what do we do now?" Su Hong asked Xiaobai's opinion, Xiaobai is so powerful, he must have received a lot of inheritance.

"Don't look at me, from now on, even if it's the official start of the expedition, I limit my strength to the same range as you, although I have also been to the tomb before, but not to mention the mechanism left, even if I put the tomb owner in a row, it is not enough for me to fight alone, all of them are violent cracks, and it is the first time to participate in the trial."

In the past, Xiaobai didn't have so much leisure to play puzzles, and generally entered this kind of tomb by mistake.

"Okay." Su Hong was not too disappointed, at least he got the mechanism left by the owner of the tomb, but he couldn't help Xiaobai's matter at all, if something really went wrong, there was still a way out.

With the guarantee, Su Hong can also concentrate on the expedition, it is more appropriate to say that it is a treasure hunt, after all, there is no risk, it cannot be called an expedition.

Su Hong took Xiaobai's hand and began to walk forward, Xiaobai was his life talisman, and he couldn't let Xiaobai get too far away.

Xiaobai glanced at Su Hong, could this timid and lustful wooden head suddenly open up? But it's not an unusual thing, after all, even if Su Hong doesn't want to admit it, but my charm will be moved even by a wooden person, how can Su Hong not be moved.

However, Su Hong didn't think about it so much, as if the brain of the single-threaded CPU made Su Hong not realize that holding Xiaobai was holding the girl's hand, obviously he was still worried about how to find an excuse to hold hands before, but now he grabbed Xiaobai's soft little hand very naturally.

There is no obvious difference between each wall in the labyrinth, and the various roads with different directions make Su Hong unable to figure out the direction, and as he walks, Su Hong feels that the scene in front of him is very familiar, as if this is where he fell at the beginning.

Su Hong touched his chin, there was a similar scene around him, and Su Hong couldn't tell if it was the place he came from in the first place.

I flipped through the backpack, and there was no wool ball in the backpack, otherwise Su Hong could take the way of traversing to find a way out of the maze, and take the method of depth priority traversal to mark each road, although it may take some time, but sooner or later it can be completed, otherwise maybe in the case of interfering with the feeling, it really can't go out at all.

By the way, you can use a knife to carve scratches on the ground, after all, the machete in your hand has definitely reached the scope of an artifact with the blessing of Xiaobai, and it can leave deep scratches on the ground.

Su Hong tore open a bag of potato chips, ate a few slices, put two more slices on the ground, marked his starting point, and then bent down and inserted a knife into the ground, the solid ground was as fragile as tofu and was easily pierced, leaving a deep scratch on the ground as Su Hong's movement.

Go forward, turn diagonally, turn right, turn right again, turn diagonally...

Circling around, Su Hong saw the potato chips on the ground again.

Su Hong was not discouraged, walked back directly, stopped at the previous fork, made a small fork at the fork in the road that would go around to the starting point, indicating that the road was not good, and then went to another fork, leaving scratches along the way, until he stopped after reaching a dead end, turned around again, and made a small fork again at the fork at the intersection.

Xiaobai followed behind Su Hong, but she didn't go to help Su Hong mark, but observed the coffins on each wall.

After walking for more than 1 hour, Su Hong felt back pain.

"No, no, take a break." Su Hong sat on the ground with his buttocks, even if the living puppet in the coffin did not crawl out to attack him, hunching his waist and constantly drawing lines on the ground made Su Hong tired.

Stretch yourself, stretch your stiff body, twist and twist, and make the bones of your body gurgle, although I don't know if this is good for the body, but this is much cooler than breaking your fingers, there is a whole body comfort, as if the pleasure of heaven and man is one.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, have you found anything?"

"Let's rest for a while, if I'm guessing correctly, you can't get out this way."

"Why?"

"Have you been looking inside these coffins?"

"I didn't see it."

"Some coffins contain live puppets and Gu worms, some contain relics or magic weapons, and some are empty."

"Empty?" Su Hong lowered his head and thought for a moment, "You mean, there are mechanisms in these coffins?" Or maybe the coffins themselves are traps, and the exit must rely on these traps to trigger, otherwise they will go back to the point of origin anyway. ”

"Pretty much."

Su Hong continued: "But when these trigger mechanisms find an exit, it is very likely to cause the living puppet to attack us? ”

He's not stupid, it's a common routine.

Xiaobai nodded.

"And how many live puppets can you make now?"

"Hehe~" Xiaobai showed a slightly weird smile, and did not answer Su Hong, but asked Su Hong rhetorically: "How many do you think you can fight?" ”

"Uh... Half? ”

"Then I'm pretty much the same, after all, I basically haven't practiced martial arts."

"Huh?" Su Hong suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, and he didn't look like Xiaobai hadn't practiced, and he could make the angel obedient with his bare hands.

"I have long been out of the realm of martial arts, in other words, in words you can understand, I am a professional mage, if the physical condition, observation ability and reaction ability are at the same level as you, I will not be much stronger than you." Xiaobai didn't feel ashamed at all, but said triumphantly: "In addition, I would like to add that if I am forced to exert my strength beyond my predetermined limit to save myself, there will be a punishment, of course, it will punish you~"

"Gollum~"

Su Hong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, people's hearts are really evil, this kind of condition is simply unreasonable.

After a tired day, he got up early in the morning, Su Hong found a place to lean on and began to rest, it is estimated that he will have to enter the battle again, although he was not injured in the previous fight against the tree demon, but it also brought a lot of burden to Su Hong's spirit, plus watching the life of the tomb owner and staying in such dim conditions, Su Hong as an ordinary person is already very tired.
