Chapter 1606: Caught in the Labyrinth
Jiang Xingchen thought it was just his own dazzled at first, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw the old man and a few private soldiers softening their eyes. Suddenly I was shocked, if it was normal to be just dazzled by myself, but if everyone was dazzled, there would be a problem.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xingchen immediately asked.
"It seems that my eyes were a little blurry just now, but soon it was better again, and it was fine!" The old man replied.
"Something is wrong!" Jiang Xingchen stopped, frowned, and began to observe left and right, the vitality sent by the Material Exploration Array kept searching around.
"Something is wrong!" The old man also became nervous and began to mobilize his vitality.
"I was dazzled just now, we can't all be dazzled at the same time!" After Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, several private soldiers also said that they did feel dazzled.
"But now my body is normal, which means that there is no powder or anything like that in the air. "The old man is a great doctor, and he is the ninth layer of vitality, and he has also learned to practice drunken boxing, he said that there is no abnormality, then it is basically no problem.
"Did you find anything?" The old man immediately asked Jiang Xingchen.
"Nope!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head and turned around to ask the three demon beasts if they felt anything.
But when he turned his head, he suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Why is the gate gone!"
They hadn't gone far into the passage, and they hadn't turned a corner, so they should be able to see the light of the gate when they turned around. But now there was only a dark passage in his sight, and the gate was gone.
When the old man and the others heard this, they turned around and also showed a look of astonishment, and their hairs were upside down from the excitement of this strange scene, and goosebumps rose.
"Is this what the patriarch said about secrecy?" The old man muttered, grabbed Jiang Xingchen and said, "Let's go back, it may be a trick!"
Jiang Xingchen grabbed the old man with his backhand and said in a low voice: "Don't move yet! The people of the Dashang royal family separated the secret from the key because they were afraid that the key would be robbed. If someone breaks in with a key and finds this situation at the moment, their first reaction is to go back and find the exit. ”
"You mean. It doesn't work to go back, we can't get out!" The old man asked.
"And it's going to be even more dangerous!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, and immediately controlled his vitality to explore back.
The old man frowned, stretched out his hand and touched the stone wall next to him. The cold real touch told him that it wasn't fake.
"Could it be that when we come in, we think we're walking in a straight line, but in fact, the passage is oblique or curved, so we can't see the gate?" The old man asked.
"No!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head. The expression is extremely solemn. He used the material probing array to perceive, and this passage actually couldn't detect the head, and they obviously came in only more than twenty meters. If the passage is curved, then the vitality of the exploration is not curved.
Not only that, but the results of his exploration in other directions were even more terrifying, behind the walls were actually passages, and just now he could find the earth and rocks of the hill outside the rocks. And he can't poke his head out, his exploration limit is ten miles, and he can reach beyond the palace, and this treasure is obviously in the hill. Imagine how weird this situation is.
To verify, he took a few steps back, but the results were all the same. This situation should not be an illusion, the walls, the ground, are all real, and there can be nothing wrong with the touch. The most important thing is that he is using a formation, even if his senses are deceived, the formation will not be deceived.
"Could it be a formation I don't know?" Jiang Xingchen's thought flashed. Immediately denied it again. If it's a formation, your vitality should be interrupted!
Jiang Xingchen pondered and assumed many possibilities, but none of them could explain the current situation
"Otherwise. I'll go back and see! I always feel like the passage is crooked!" The old man saw that Jiang Xingchen didn't speak for a long time, so he made such a request.
Jiang Xingchen raised his eyes and looked at the old man, nodded and said, "It's okay to see, but you have to tie a rope, this place is too weird, once we get separated, it will be a bad thing!"
"I understand. Let's tie all the ropes so we don't get separated!" The old man said, beckoning to the private soldier. The privates immediately took the rope out of their backpacks.
After tying the rope, the old man said something to Jiang Xingchen and walked back along the wall cautiously.
After a short time, the old man came back, his face was gloomy like water, he shook his head and said to Jiang Xingchen: "There is no gate, as you said, there is only a passage, nothing!"
"Tweet!" Pink screamed twice in frustration. It also knew that it was trapped, and it looked very irritable, eager to break the stone wall immediately.
The other two demon beasts were similar, as long as Jiang Xingchen gave an order, they would immediately take action.
Jiang Xingchen ignored the three demon beasts and turned his head to probe, but the passage was still endless.
"What are we going to do now?" The old man had no choice but to ask Jiang Xingchen.
At this time, he could see Jiang Xingchen's mental quality, not only was he not anxious at this time, but he became more and more calm, and he made a decision immediately. Now that it is no longer possible to retreat, we can only move forward, and perhaps find a way out of the predicament from the treasure.
"Alright, let's move on!" The old man understood what Jiang Xingchen meant after a little thought, and then asked the private soldiers to take out the ropes, let the pink ones also tie them, and let the demon fox be responsible for paying attention to the end of the line.
The three demon beasts reluctantly tied the ropes, and the demon fox jumped onto the big white buttocks, grasping a fluorite in its small paws, and turned its back to everyone, monitoring the rear.
The crowd set off again, still very cautious, but a little faster.
After walking for about five or six minutes, there was a fork in the passage, and as soon as it appeared, there were two, on the stone wall on the right. Jiang Xingchen kept probing forward just now, but he didn't find a fork in the road.
"There are two forks in the road here, how do we get there?" The old man stopped, turned his head and asked.
Jiang Xingchen stood still and once again probed with his vitality. I still can't find the head, and the same is true of the two passages at the fork. This time, however, he began to pay attention to both sides, and found that there were new forks in either fork, and there were as many as eight, and the passages were no longer straight, and there were many arcs.
In addition, there are many forks in the passage they have been walking on, and there are stone walls on the left and right. Lenovo just found through the stone wall that there were almost all passages behind him, Jiang Xingchen frowned and said, "Don't be a labyrinth anymore, right?"
"What did you say? The old man was surprised.
"Well, the passages are not only what we see, but almost all around, these passages are in different directions, and they are connected to each other, and it is likely to be a labyrinth. In such an environment, we will lose even a sense of direction after a long time. Jiang Xingchen replied.
"What are you afraid of, don't we have magnetic needles with us, I think we should go south. If you encounter something, the stone wall will be forcibly broken!" The old man said.
"That's what I thought too!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and took out the magnetic needle, but at first glance, he was dumbfounded again! (To be continued.) )
