Chapter 120
The interconnected passages in the Demon Cave are criss-crossed, and it is a complete labyrinth, and what is worse is that the gloomy environment here seriously affects people's vision and mobility.
However, in this passage, everything is incompatible with the Demon Cave, it is like day, there is no darkness, there is no stone thorns, the light blue light banishes the darkness, and the surrounding things are clearly visible.
Zhang Ping stood with Wu Fan holding the missing star blue mother stone, looking at the scene in front of him with a look of embarrassment.
By this time, they had already left the dead end of the great battle, and returned the same way, and had not gone far when they encountered a fork in the road, that is, the entrance to a new passage.
Zhang Ping used his natural ability to sense his surroundings, only to find that both paths brought him the same feeling, extremely dangerous......
The two teenagers wandered in front of the passage, looking at the two passages in front of them, quite entangled, if it was not long ago, they could have chosen casually, but now they are injured, only to choose a relatively safe passage.
"Damn! How is this good? It's all a terrible achievement, and if he hadn't suddenly become a monster, we wouldn't have run away in disarray, and we wouldn't have had time to mark it, and we don't know which way to go now. ”
Thinking of success, Zhang Ping was angry and afraid, anger arose when he encountered success, and fear only grew in his heart after success and change.
Wu Fan was pondering instead, he seemed to have found something wrong, and he kept looking back and forth towards the two passages.
"No!
"What's the problem, why didn't I see it?" Zhang Ping tilted his head and wondered, in his senses, there didn't seem to be any danger here, but it was much safer than in the two passages.
"Remember every time we encountered a passage, there were at least three new passages at a time, and there were only two of them! And none of the new passages were adjacent, but they were next to each other. ”
Wu Fan calmly analyzed them one by one, while Zhang Ping gradually showed a look of surprise, staring back and forth at the two passages.
Zhang Ping exclaimed: "It's really different, this new channel seems to be a new branch growing from a thick branch." ”
If the channels they encountered before were "U" shaped with each other, now the two channels they encountered are "V" shaped.
"Not only that, but there is a big problem that we cannot ignore. Wu Fan then said.
"What's the problem?"
Zhang Ping seemed to feel the seriousness of the situation, and felt more and more that it was strange.
"Remember how long we walked through this passage before we came across a dead end?"
"I didn't pay attention to it, but we walked at least a few hundred meters. Zhang Ping pondered.
"Then the problem is, at that time we walked nearly a few hundred meters, but there was nothing along the way, just a straight passage, but now we have returned less than thirty meters to the original road, and a new passage has appeared......"
Before Wu Fan finished speaking, Zhang Ping's expression had changed greatly, and he realized the weirdness and fear in it.
"This is ridiculous, could it be that this new passage grew out of thin air?"
"At least we didn't have this passage when we came, unless the passage inside the cave could change its position on its own. ”
Wu Fan couldn't explain all this, the demon cave was full of unknowns, and the unknown things were the most terrifying.
"This is even more impossible! If the maze will change its route, then it will become a dead palace, and you will never be able to get out, so what's the point of people entering the demon cave to find the ink stone?"
Zhang Ping didn't believe it, or rather, he developed fear, a fear of the unknown.
"It's just my guess, it doesn't mean anything. Every year, a very small number of people come out of the cave alive, there is no doubt about this, the chaotic passage in the cave is not unsolvable, as long as it can survive to the end, maybe it is only a matter of time before you leave alive, and now we should think about walking through that passage. ”
Wu Fan looked at the two passages calmly, unfounded conjectures would only add unnecessary burdens, and solving the problems at hand was the key.
Zhang Ping nodded, agreed with Wu Fan's statement, decided not to think about this puzzling and strange question anymore, and then discussed with Wu Fan, and finally decided to take that new passage full of doubts, in which everything is unknown, there may be terrible dangers, and it is possible to have a safe journey, but it will never be successful!
With their current situation, the consequences are self-evident, and risk avoidance is their most rational choice.
......
A new passage, a new beginning, there are no sharp stone thorns here, and the sleek stone walls are a lot of reassuring to pedestrians, but compared to the previous passages, the road here is winding and uneven, and although the light dispels the darkness and saves a lot of trouble, it still takes a lot of effort to walk.
"What kind of road is this, twists and turns, the heart is annoying, and what's even worse is that this passage is getting narrower and narrower, and it's about to squeeze me to death, and I don't know if the road behind me can go on. ”
Zhang Ping complained indignantly, at first it was not a problem for the two of them to walk side by side, but now it is a little uncomfortable for him to walk sideways alone.
Of course, this is only for some people, and Wu Fan is relatively relaxed, as if he is strolling leisurely.
"Who told you to be lazy and lazy, there are always problems at critical moments, and you should reflect on it in the future. Wu Fan said.
"Do you want to say I'm fat? I'm strong, you look at my muscles, it's full of strength, I know you're jealous of my body and call me fat, don't worry, I won't laugh at you." ”
Zhang Ping felt good about himself, waved his hand, looked self-satisfied, and was quite satisfied with his figure.
Wu Fan was a little speechless, this guy was so narcissistic, he had never seen such a brazen person!
In the rugged and narrow passage, the two teenagers staggered forward, and at this moment, Zhang Ping, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted.
"I see an exit ahead!"
"Really, then you get in. ”
Wu Fan was pleasantly surprised, because Zhang Ping opened the road in front, and the passage was very narrow, and Wu Fan couldn't see the situation in front.
"No, it's too small, it's a little difficult for me to get in, you help push it down from behind. ”
Zhang Ping wanted to cry without tears, his left arm and left leg had already been stretched in, but his broad shoulders were just stuck by the exit, and he couldn't get in or out.
Wu Fan shook his head behind him, walking in this tortuous and narrow passage with Zhang Ping's tall and thick body, he would be stopped sooner or later, but he didn't expect Zhang Ping to be so embarrassed, and he couldn't help but have a little smile in his heart.
Because his arms were injured, he could only invalidate the method of pushing with his hands, so he lowered his back on Zhang Ping's right body, straightened his legs, and kicked the ground with both feet, so as to push Zhang Ping with his strength.
"Ahh
Zhang Ping let out a miserable scream, his mouth was too small, and Wu Fan pushed hard, making him close contact with the stone wall, even if the stone wall was relatively smooth, he couldn't bear the pain of squeezing.
Although it was painful, it also saw a significant effect, and most of Zhang Ping's shoulders had already gone in.
"Bear with me, it'll be fine right away, I'm going to work hard!"
Long pain is better than short pain, Wu Fan plans to solve it all at once.
"Wait...... Wait...... I...... Ahh
There was another scream, Wu Fan didn't wait for Zhang Ping to finish speaking, he directly pushed hard, and after a few seconds of stalemate with him, he successfully stuffed Zhang Ping in.
Different from Zhang Ping's tragedy, Wu Fan stood up straight and walked in easily, "Although this exit is small, it is just right for me." Hey, this isn't an exit, it's a secret room!"
The moment Wu Fan entered, a sudden feeling of enlightenment came to his heart, to be precise, what appeared in front of him was a stone room, except for the exit behind him, there was no passage.
The stone room is not big, only more than 20 square meters, there is a stone table in the middle, there is nothing on it, there is a stone bed against the wall in the innermost, and the stone wall on the right side of Wu Fan is hollowed out and transformed into a stone cabinet, which is full of bottles and jars, and I don't know what it is.
"! I was miserable by you this time, I'm not done with you!"
At this time, Zhang Ping's angry voice came, and Wu Fan, whose attention was all attracted by the stone room, was looking at Zhang Ping.
At this time, he was embarrassed, gray-headed, his scalp was broken by the stone wall, fortunately it was only a small injury, and there was no major problem, and his clothes were even more miserable, and the large and small holes on it were all masterpieces of the stone wall, like a poor man begging, especially in the middle of his legs.
Wu Fan couldn't help laughing for a while, Zhang Ping's appearance was really full of joy, and he could only blame himself for laughing too low.
"You're still laughing!"
Zhang Ping stomped on the ground a few times, jumping like thunder, eager to eat Wu Fan now.
"Hmm...... I don't laugh...... Laughed ......"
Wu Fan endured it a few times without success, and when he saw Zhang Ping pounce with his teeth and claws, he instantly became a ball.
The two of them had a small fight, and the point was over, the unexpected stone chamber was the most important at the moment, this was a place they had never been before, no matter whether it was dangerous or safe, they should be serious about it.
"What kind of place is this? there's a bed, there's a table, there's a ...... Skeletons!"
Wu Fan stared at the skeleton on the side of the stone bed, it was all dust, the skeleton was intact, the color of the bones was grayish, it seemed that it had died of natural causes, and it had been dead for many years.
"Actually, when I came in, the first thing I saw was this skeleton. ”
Zhang Ping said and walked towards the skeleton, Wu Fan followed closely, in front of the skeleton, the two teenagers carefully looked at the things in front of them, Zhang Ping stretched out his hand to wipe the skeleton, and suddenly a large amount of dust flew.
"The dust up there, and everything around...... I'm afraid this man lived here a long time ago, and there were no fanged pirates at that time......"
Wu Fan nodded in agreement, and said, "So this skeleton is not a person who came to find the ink stone and died, and can build a stone chamber in the demon cave to survive......"
It's hard to imagine how it exists!
"Perhaps, a long time ago, there was no demon cave here......" Soon this absurd idea was denied by Wu Fan.
"Impossible, this is the depths of the Jietian Sea, almost no one can survive here, and it will take at least a thousand years for the formation of a zone to be completed from its demise, not to mention a place like the Jietian Sea that has existed for tens of thousands of years, this skeleton should have turned to ashes long ago. ”
Zhang Ping touched his chin and said, "At least we can be sure that this guy should have been a strong man during his lifetime, and he was very strong, so strong that the inexplicable power in the demon cave could not suppress him." ”
Wu Fan acquiesced, the Demon Cave is extremely dangerous, and there is more powerful suppression, the fact that the Fanged Pirates cannot break through this layer of suppression does not mean that everyone can't, there are still many strong people in this world, their strength is immeasurable, and some strong people can destroy the poisonous fangs thousands of times with just one finger, and the suppression in the Demon Cave is naturally not a problem.
The fanged pirates regard the ink stone as a treasure, but in the eyes of those strong people, it is not worth mentioning at all, a stone is a stone, no matter how rare and strange it is, it will not enter the eyes of the strong.
Before their eyes, this skeleton had been a strong man!
Wu Fan's breathing gradually became short, and the strong ones meant that they had unique treasures in their hands, rare martial arts, powerful and incomparable weapons, and wealth comparable to the wealth of the country...... A strong man is a treasure trove that can be moved!
What a dead powerhouse left behind is enough to cause the madness of the world and cause a bloody storm, and now, only two teenagers face this immovable treasure house, and the mood of the two can be imagined.
Wu Fan's eyes became more and more solemn, staring at this skeleton, wanting to find something, it is said that the strong have a storage ring, which is more than one grade higher than the space rune stone, and the general strong will put most of their treasures into it, if they can find it, I believe that their future must be limitless!
His fiery gaze swept back and forth on the skeleton, and so did Zhang Ping, who just looked at it and didn't dare to move, some strong people were moody, and in order to punish those juniors who desecrated his body, they often did something on their own hands before they died, such as poison, or terrible mechanisms.
There was no way to move the skeletons, and they only searched for them with their eyes, and naturally they gained very little, and in the end they found nothing.
"Could it be that we misjudged that this skeleton is not a strong man at all? Legend has it that even if a strong man dies, there is still a terrible coercion on his body, and it is impossible for a person of our level to get even half a step closer. ”
Zhang Ping was a little unsure, there were too many rumors about the relics of the strong, but most of the strong people were still there after their deaths, and they were not allowed to approach the powerful.
Wu Fan refused to give up, even if he was not a strong person, but he was by no means an ordinary person, he looked at the skeleton again and searched carefully.
Hearing that the storage ring is often carried on both hands, he focused on the hands of the skull frame, and the result was really an unexpected discovery.
There was a thick layer of dust under the skull, and the skeleton's hands were strangely arranged, one of his hands in front of him, but the other behind his back, pressed into the dust, as if looking for something, or hiding something.
He would not let go of this only suspicion, so he brushed away the dust from the ground, and then the gray bone hand was the first to be revealed, but this was not the point, and under the bone hand, there was a square object pressed underneath.
Wu Fan was overjoyed and couldn't wait to hold the square object in his hand, but the moment he stretched out his hand, Zhang Ping grabbed him, his face was full of seriousness.
"What if there's any danger?"
Wu Fan's face changed slightly, and then he realized that he had lost his temper, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was too eager and almost caused a big disaster." ”
Zhang Ping pretended to be old, as if he was treating his juniors, reminding him again.
"I can understand your feelings, treasures are rare, but life is more important, we are injured now, and we can't be careless. ”
"Then what now?" Wu Fan was quite annoyed and said, "Is it possible to leave like this?"
"Of course I can't just go home empty-handed, I'm free!"
Zhang Ping pretended to be profound, and put on a hidden appearance in front of Wu Fan, "Look at how I take the treasure." ”
Wu Fan watched expectantly and curiously as Zhang Ping came to the skeleton, to be honest, he didn't believe it much, after all, they had been living together for a year, and the other party's abilities were all known, but now it can only be like this, hoping to succeed.
On the other side, I saw Zhang Ping swaying left and right in front of the skeleton, with words in his mouth, which seemed to be a bit of a doorway.
At this moment, he let out a loud shout, lifted the skeleton's bone hand, grabbed the square object on the ground violently, and put down the bone hand again at a very fast speed, the process was simple and fast, and nothing happened, he still stood there intact, and then looked at Wu Fan triumphantly.
"How did you do that? Why don't I remember that you have such a skill?" Wu Fan wondered.
"It's called a real person not showing up! blame me for being so low-key that you don't know much about my abilities. ”
Zhang Ping sighed, quite a master's lonely artistic conception.
Wu Fan looked at Zhang Ping for a while, stared at his eyes, and said suspiciously, "You won't be bluffing me, right?"
Zhang Ping was taken aback, and involuntarily took a small step back, his eyes were uncertain, and said, "How could it be? Do you think that such an upright person as me would joke about this kind of thing?"
"You will!" Wu Fan still stared at him, without thinking.
Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, and helplessly explained to Wu Fan: "Okay, since you found out, I won't hide it anymore, in fact, I am an omnipotent god...... Haha......"
Wu Fan sighed and said, "I knew that I shouldn't have believed you in the first place, did you already know that skeletons were not in danger?"
Zhang Ping couldn't stand Wu Fan's interrogating eyes, raised his hand to surrender, and said weakly: "It's just a joke......
"It's okay, I was indeed a little irrational at that time, it was you who reminded me that if the skeleton was really dangerous, then I ......" Wu Fan reflected seriously.
Zhang Ping nodded, then threw the square object Wu Fan, and said, "You go first, I don't know what this thing is, I don't feel anything in my hand......
However, before he could finish speaking, he found that Wu Fan was holding a square object and stood in place in a daze, as if he had entered a magic barrier.
Zhang Ping was taken aback, there was something wrong with this thing!
