Chapter 203: The Test of Memory
Without the suppression of the fire ghost, the two of them dragged on to the outbreak period of the second round without much pressure, and the woman reused her old skills to harvest the ice ghost again, so that the battle finally had no suspense.
This battle seems to be easier than the first, but it is actually extremely dangerous.
The two sides are like masters of duels, relying on high-speed and high-attack to seize the opportunity, even if the system is released like this, the two of them have been beaten into a dangerous residual blood state several times in the battle.
The last poison was split into points of light by the nightingale and scattered in the air, and the azure ice on the chests and portals turned into a faint mist and hoarfrost.
Luo Yang opened the treasure chest again, and the fourth-level formula lay quietly in the treasure chest.
"Alas! You say you don't like to owe favors, but how much do I owe you now? ”
Luo Yang put the formula into the package, shook his head and sighed, and the woman couldn't stand it and jumped directly into the portal.
They explored in a clockwise fashion, and the next direction was naturally south.
After a big battle, the two had to replenish food again, and Luo Yang handed a plate of steamed sea bass to the woman, and he kept a piece of shredded plum cabbage and bamboo shoots.
"Sister Xiaodao, you look like a carnivore, so this plate of fish may be more in line with your appetite."
The woman didn't like the term carnivore a little, but she accepted Luo Yang's courtesy.
"I haven't eaten meat for a long time for some reason, and I used to love vegetarian food."
She didn't know why the desire to explain was so strong.
Luo Yang's smile froze for a moment, and he suddenly understood something.
"No wonder, no wonder! It's me who ignored it. ”
"Ignore what?"
Luo Yang hurriedly said: "It's nothing, let's hurry up and explore well, there is really not much time now." ”
The map of the south is arguably the simplest and most complicated level.
It's simple because there are no illusion traps in this level, and it's complicated because it's a maze in itself!
When Luo Yang and the others came to the first fork in the road, they were directly stunned.
The three orange portals in front of him were at the ends of the three forks, and there was at least a fifteen-meter void between these three forks and the end of the other section of the road ahead. On the opposite side are three more portals.
"Let's teleport over!"
The woman looked at it and said, "It seems that you don't have a good way to tell the difference, since that's the case, why don't you try it directly!" ”
As she spoke, she walked to the portal on the far left and went straight inside. Luo Yang didn't stop her, she was right.
Sure enough, the woman did not teleport to the portal on the opposite side, but to a fork in the road on the far right.
Watching the woman enter through the portal and come out of another portal was still a relatively novel experience for Luo Yang.
"Don't move, you try to go back the way you came!"
The woman didn't quite understand what he meant, but she walked back to the door she had just teleported through, and instead of returning to Luo Yang, she teleported to the fork in the middle.
The woman walked back to Luo Yang in surprise and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Luo Yang's face was very ugly, this maze was much more complicated than he imagined.
"Try again!"
The woman didn't know what she meant, but she continued to teleport again in the same route she had just taken, and then returned to the fork in the middle.
"It's not easy to explain."
Luo Yang squatted down, took out a throwing knife and began to carve a map on the stone pavement.
"We call the portal in front of us the entrance, and the portal on the opposite side the exit. Now start numbering, 123,456. According to normal logic, the corresponding numbers of the entrance and exit should be 14, 25, 36. But the actual situation is that No. 1 corresponds to No. 6, this is no problem, we just need to remember the entrance corresponding to the exit. But we are now facing a very serious problem. ”
Luo Yang reorganized the language so that his explanations could be as easy to understand as possible.
"You went back the way you came, but you didn't go back from the 6th to the 1st. According to our experiments, this situation should not be random, but a fixed route. ”
"Isn't that great?"
Luo Yang smiled bitterly: "It's better than random, but it also confirms another problem: we should never think about returning to the same logic." ”
"You mean that once we get there, there's no way back?"
Luo Yang shook his head again.
"If that's the case, it's simpler, in fact, it's not that we don't have a way out, but we have to go back! In the following forks in the road, we will encounter countless such portals, and many of them must be dead ends, and we will have to teleport back at that time. However, these portals have different waypoints when entering and returning, which means that we must remember the corresponding locations of the entrances and exits of each portal. For example, at the first fork in the road, 16 is the way forward, and the way back is 62. ”
After Luo Yang finished speaking, he felt that his head was big.
"If we remember one of these paths wrongly, then we're probably going to make the wrong mistake! Finally get lost in this labyrinth! ”
Although the woman still didn't quite understand what Luo Yang meant, this explanation at least let her know the seriousness of this matter. No matter how bad it was, she understood the meaning of time urgency.
The two of them walked briskly to Entrance 1 and teleported to Exit 6, and after walking for about five minutes, they saw two more portals, one less than the first fork.
It seemed like a good result, but when the two teleported over, they realized that they had teleported directly from Entrance 1 to Entrance 2, and then back to Entrance 1 from Junction 2.
"Didn't you say that the two points that are teleported back and forth are not interconnected?"
Luo Yang did not answer her words, but said something even more mournful.
"Even more serious than that is that we have to remember the order. This portal must choose the second entrance! ”
Luo Yang said as he led the woman into Entrance No. 2, and this time they did not teleport back to Entrance No. 1, but came to Exit No. 3 on the opposite side.
"Only the right order can trigger the right exit, otherwise it will have the same confusion effect as before. Damn, I don't have the confidence to remember them all. ”
For Luo Yang, I miss Yan Nanshang more than at this time, and if she is in charge, Luo Yang will have absolute confidence in her.
Now he can only force his way through with his memory, which he is not very good at, and Luo Yang forces himself to memorize every portal without distractions.
After three dead ends and a successful return, Luo Yang stopped, sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, and began to recite all the routes he had recorded over and over again.
He's starting to have vague memories starting to appear, which definitely doesn't bode well.
This means that they will be faced with one of the most important choices: to continue or to quit.
