Chapter Seventy-Four: Repressed Madness
"Teacher Sun, could this be a ...... that is ready to trap us at all? Labyrinth?"
......
Facing the students' frightened doubts, Sun Wukong muttered: "Don't worry! Jiuyou Mountain is so big, even if it is a maze, we keep marking it, and we should be able to get out soon." ”
After speaking, at the exit, he marked a C with demon fire, and chose the tomb in the middle again and marked an R.
As fear spread in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but speed up, and the path was one hole after another. Sun Wukong took them to choose the middle one whenever they encountered the entrance of the cave.
After careful scrutiny, they also found that these cave entrance tombs were not straight roads, but had curved arcs, and these arcs always appeared inadvertently, that is, they were probably going around in circles, but they didn't know it.
Sure enough, when they walked out of a tomb and came to an identical "circular tomb" again, they found this "circular tomb", they had been here before, and on the hole on the far right of the exit, there was the "R" letter engraved by Sun Wukong, and opposite this hole, there was also a "C" letter.
It's a labyrinth!
Everyone's face was like ashes.
Sun Wukong was well aware of all kinds of negative emotions, which had already spread in the minds of the students, and couldn't help shouting: "Since we are back, it proves that the route we took before the entrance of the cave is wrong, we will change to the leftmost road this time, I believe that through the 'elimination method', we will definitely be able to find the right way!"
This is the only way to do it at the moment! Although the students' hearts tremble, at least there is still a glimmer of hope.
Sun Wukong carved C2 at the exit, and R2 was engraved at the leftmost hole. Trying to use this series of counting methods to identify the path they have traveled.
A group of people drilled into this maze again.
Keep engraving, keep trying to go other ways.
Everyone counted silently in their hearts, and they actually passed through 25 holes in one go.
When they entered, they had passed a total of 25 holes, and now on their way back, they have also passed 25 holes.
The students were 100% sure that they had gone the wrong way.
If the route is correct, they should have reached the fountain pool of water that they first washed at this moment. But now I can't hear even a single stream of water.
"Teacher Sun, we can't do this!" Lin Li, who was behind the team, suddenly ran to the front and said, "This maze is particularly complicated, we have 25 circular burial chambers, a total of 150 paths. And these 150 roads lead to a 'circular tomb' with '6 holes', so there are 900 roads in this labyrinth, which we know now!"
After listening to 900 articles, maybe you still don't have any idea!
But Lin Li is the best numeracy in the class, and he tells a terrifying reality through calculations.
"If we calculate the 10-minute journey of each road, we can only walk 6 roads in an hour, and it will take 150 hours, or 6 days, to complete these 900 roads!"
6 days? Everyone gasped.
But Lin Li also said an even more terrifying truth.
I only heard him say coldly: "What we are most afraid of now is that we don't know how big this place is, if there are 900 roads, each road has a circular burial chamber and 6 holes. Then we have to walk 5,400 lines, and with the current journey, it will take at least 40 days to complete the ......."
He smiled sadly: "Now we still have the physical strength to maintain the 'demon power circulation', and after 10 hours, our body will feel hungry because of this consumption! After 3 days, we will be unable to support the 'demon power circulation' in our body due to lack of replenishment, and finally we will be unable to move by the 'potential' of the tomb, and starve ......to death here."
He sighed and concluded, "No matter how you calculate it, we won't be able to survive the fourth day! So, if we waste time like this and rely on luck to find a way out, we may all die here in the end!"
After listening to Lin Li's words, everyone fell into a deathly silence!
The fear of death, madness, generally oppresses the fragile nerves of the students.
Although Sun Wukong wanted to appease the students' emotions, Lin Li said it very reasonably. If you just go like this, you may not be able to get out.
"Lin Li, you counted our lives as dead, according to what you say, everyone is here to sit and wait to be killed...... squad leader Qi Dong said coldly.
Lin Li shook his head: "No! Actually, we have another way! This method can greatly shorten the time for us to find the exit!"
Everyone's eyes lit up: "What way?"
Lin Li sighed and said, "There are 42 of us!"
When Lin Li finished saying this, everyone suddenly realized.
"Lin Li, what do you mean...... Shall we all go our separate ways?" asked Zhang Yu.
"Of course!" Lin Li nodded, "All of us together, at worst, it will take more than 40 days, but if it is evenly spread over 42 people, we can almost complete more than 5,000 graveyards in one day!
"Good way!"
"Then let's go our separate ways! ”
After listening to Lin Li's methods, the students who were originally dead and silent in their hearts showed a little bit of hope in their eyes again!
However, their only little light of hope was ruthlessly broken by Sun Wukong.
"No way!"
Sun Wukong grabbed them: "Although Lin Li's method is good, I am against separation! No matter what, everyone must be together!"
"Huh?" the students looked at Sun Wukong in disbelief and asked, "Teacher Sun, why?"
Sun Wukong stood up and shouted: "Once we are separated, then it will be self-destruction!"
The students didn't understand Sun Wukong's words, and a girl asked, "Teacher Sun, why do you say that?"
Sun Wukong pointed to the tomb and said: "Now that everyone is together again, you can barely feel that you are still alive, but once you become a person trapped in this dark tomb, your spirit will soon be swallowed by this labyrinth, and you will become crazy if you don't die!"
Sun Wukong is right, after all, the group of students in front of him are still some children who are nearly sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are still far from spiritual strength and mental nature.
"Teacher Sun, this is not either, that is not either!Is it true that we really have to wait for death here?" Qi Dong's attendant Zhang Yu couldn't help shouting hysterically at this moment.
Qi Dong grabbed his little brother Zhang Yu's shoulder and shouted, "Zhang Yu, don't be impulsive! Everyone is uncomfortable, you have to calm down!"
"Calm down, how else can I calm down?" Zhang Yu stared at his blood-red eyes and sobbed: "Boss, I really don't want to stay here anymore!"
He shook off Qi Dong's hand and cried, "Boss, I want to go home!
As soon as they talked about going home, everyone's hearts fell into deep despair at this moment.
Qi Dong actually felt uncomfortable in his heart, but as the squad leader, he still took responsibility, looked at the follower who was obedient to him in the past, gritted his teeth and shouted: "You must calm down, we all want to go home, Teacher Sun's experience and knowledge are much better than us, at this critical moment, we must believe him! Teacher Sun, there must be a way to take us out." ”
"Believe him, right......" Zhang Yu listened to Qi Dong's words, as if he had suddenly figured out something, and suddenly, with an epileptic look, he stared at his huge eyes, and said in his mouth: "Yes!
"Hahaha...... We have to believe him......" Zhang Yu suddenly went crazy and shouted hysterically, "Boss, who brought us to the Nine Void Silent Mountain?"
"Who brought us to this tomb?"
"Who trapped us in this labyrinth?......"
"It's all him! It's all him! We're going to die here! Is what he said true?"
"No! it's all a lie!"
"Yes, it's like it's written on that wall!"
Zhang Yu sneered like a ghost: "He, yes, liar, son!"
