Volume 4 Chapter 1 The Mine Puzzle (1st Update)
Everyone in Yaojiazhai saw that Yao Batian took the lead in escaping, and everyone had no backbone, so they scattered and fled, the strength of the two sides seemed to be about the same, but when Ye Daoxin captured the white-clothed female cultivator, the balance of victory was already tilted towards Panjiazhai.
The whole process didn't last long, less than half an hour, the six Dancheng Realm monks in Yaojiazhai, one was captured, one was killed, and the remaining four all fled.
After Yao Batian and the remaining three monks escaped, many warriors in Yaojiazhai dispersed in a hurry, and in the process of escaping, most of them were also killed by the people of Panjiazhai.
Panjiazhai won a big victory, and everyone was elated and cheered!
Pan Chengde left most of Panjiazhai's manpower to guard the ore vein, including three monks, and reorganized the manpower to come to mine.
The three monks left behind were Pan Zhengyang of Panjiazhai, two elders of Pan Zhengwen, and one monk surnamed Tian.
Ye Daoxin was originally going back, but he thought that he would have nothing to do when he went back to Panjiazhai, so he also asked to stay and guard the mine veins together, Miao Xuan didn't want to stay and guard the ore veins, but since Ye Daoxin stayed, she followed Ye Daoxin and did not return to Panjiazhai, after all, she came to Panjiqu alone, and she was not familiar with the place, so she felt much safer to stay by Ye Daoxin's side.
"Okay, five Daoists, the matter of the Soul Forging Stone Vein will get rid of you, I and the other two Daoists will go back first, by the way, I will also bring back the captured white-clothed female cultivator, this time, I must Yao Batian bleed profusely, otherwise, I don't want to change her back." ”
This time the snatching of the Soul Forging Stone Vein was very smooth, not only defeated Yao Batian, but also had a bad breath for many years, the key was to kill a Dancheng Realm monk in Yaojiazhai, and capture a Dancheng Realm monk, in this way, Yaojiazhai's strength has dropped greatly, and he can no longer compete with Panjiazhai in a short time.
Pan Chengde was very happy to think that Yao Batian would have to reluctantly exchange a large amount of resources for this female cultivator when he turned around, he understood that all of this was because of the addition of Ye Daoxin and Miao Xuan, otherwise, their Pan Jiazhai would not necessarily be Yao Jiazhai's opponent.
Before leaving, Pan Chengde also specially instructed Ye Daoxin that before leaving, he must go back to Panjiazhai, and when the time comes, he will entrust Ye Daoxin with important things, and will tell Ye Daoxin some experience in breaking through the Nine Songs Maze.
Ye Daoxin understood that Pan Chengde was courting him, and readily agreed.
Pan Chengde left, and Ye Daoxin did not dig a temporary cave outside to live like several other monks, but took Miao Xuan directly into the mine.
Because there is no distinction between day and night, the sky is dark at any time, and the bright light can only be seen when it rains and there is lightning, so it has been almost a month since he came to Panjiqu, and Ye Daoxin has basically adapted to the environment where the underwater world is dark at all times.
Since it's dark outside, it's better to go into the cave and explore, maybe there's something unexpected to discover.
The mine outside is very large, basically I didn't see any ore, Ye Daoxin and Miao Xuan kept walking inside with torches, and found that the more inside, the smaller the mine was.
After walking for about half an hour, Ye Daoxin found that small particles of soul forging stones began to appear on the stone walls of the cave, but there were not many, and the particles were very small, which was difficult to collect, the two did not stop, and continued to walk forward for about half an hour, Ye Daoxin found that it was over, and there was no road ahead.
Ye Daoxin found that the soul forging stones on the stone walls everywhere were getting bigger and bigger, and the number was also increasing, but Ye Daoxin wanted to know, if he dug a few kilometers deeper, would he dig more soul forging stones?
Ye Daoxin directly threw out a "Blue Fire Sky Thunder Bead", wanting to smash open a new passage.
"Boom!"
I only heard a loud noise, there was a feeling that the formation was torn apart, and the entire passage collapsed a lot, but, to Ye Daoxin's surprise, a new passage was really blown up by Ye Daoxin, Ye Daoxin removed the collapsed stones, and walked forward along the passage for about a quarter of an hour, and there were three forks in front of him.
This is the first fork in the road after the entrance, and you have to make a choice.
Ye Daoxin released his divine sense, and each fork penetrated more than ten meters, to see what was different inside, he found that the distance covered by his divine sense was too short, and he couldn't find out the difference between the three forks at all.
There are three forks in the road, each of which is similar, there is no distinction between primary and secondary, and there is no difference, it may lead to one place, or it may lead to different places.
"Brother Lin, which fork in the road shall we take?"
Miao Xuan carefully looked at each fork in the road, and walked in to investigate a short distance, but found no difference.
"Let's choose one to go, anyway, there is no danger, it really can't be done, it's a big deal that we come back and choose another one to go again." ”
Ye Daoxin intently investigated for a while, but didn't find anything wrong, and casually chose the nearest fork in the road and walked in.
The fork in the road was very long, Ye Daoxin and Miao Xuan had not reached the end after walking for a long time, and they just wanted to turn back, but suddenly, Ye Daoxin found that there was another fork in front of the passage, and this time there were six forks.
"Hey, isn't this a naturally formed, and artificially arranged maze, how can there be so many forks?"
Ye Daoxin was very puzzled, isn't this a soul forging stone vein, how does it feel like a maze?
"Yes, there were two forks in the road in a row, three at first, six forks now, and it felt regular, but there was no trace. ”
Miao Xuan followed behind Ye Daoxin, and every time she walked a distance, she had to carefully mark it, so that she could find her way back when she came out.
There was no light in the passage, and they could only rely on torches to illuminate a short distance, Ye Daoxin and Miao Xuan casually chose a fork in the road to move forward, this time, the speed of the two of them accelerated a lot, and they did not walk in the passage as leisurely as at the beginning, but half an hour passed, and Ye Daoxin found that he had come to the next fork in the road.
This time, there were a total of twelve forks in the road.
It's a fork in the road again, how can there be so many forks in the road?
There are more forks in the road each time, will there be twenty-four forks next time?
Ye Daoxin once again made a choice at random, as a monk, his memory is excellent, and his sense of direction will not deviate in the slightest, although there are constantly forks, but Ye Daoxin doesn't care too much, he just goes inside, to explore what secrets are in the depths of the mine?
Ye Daoxin was already curious about this newly discovered Soul Forging Stone Mine, this is not like an ordinary Soul Forging Stone Vein, if it is artificially arranged here, maybe there will be some big secrets inside, if it is a naturally formed maze, such a complex maze, there may be a big opportunity inside.
Thinking of a big opportunity, Ye Daoxin immediately became interested.
Ye Daoxin took Miao Xuan to keep hurrying in the mine, and after about half an hour, Ye Daoxin sadly found that the two had really come to a fork in the road with forty-eight forks.
At this moment, Ye Daoxin was a little dumbfounded.
There are more and more forks in the road, and there is no end in sight, how can you choose?
No matter what, Ye Daoxin plunged into the nearest fork in the road, and continued to walk forward, he didn't believe it, he would not be able to go to the end, it was a big deal to spend a few more days, go through every fork in the road, and he would definitely be able to discover the secret of the mine when the time came.
"Wait a minute, Brother Lin, have we been here before?"
About another hour passed, Miao Xuan stopped, looked around suspiciously, she actually found the mark she had made.
"Really, before we knew it, we were coming around again. ”
Ye Daoxin closed his eyes and carefully recalled the route, and his face couldn't help but change.
Go a different way!
Ye Daoxin and Miao Xuan quickly shuttled through the passage, constantly choosing the passage, the two of them were very fast, changing the route again and again, Ye Daoxin wanted to try his luck and see if he could go to the main road, maybe he could find the core of the ore vein, and maybe even find the medium-grade Soul Forging Stone.
Ye Daoxin found that where there were more forks, the larger the particles of the Soul Forging Stone, the more quantity, and the better the quality.
However, two hours passed, three hours passed, and a whole day passed, Ye Daoxin sadly found that he and Miao Xuan were lost, and once, he even encountered the intersection of ninety-six forks, but when he wanted to go back again, he couldn't find that intersection anymore.
"Brother Lin, we are lost, we may not be able to get out in a short time, why don't you attack the passages and see if you can destroy these passages?"
After wandering around all day, even Miao Xuan has lost patience and wants to go out as soon as possible.
"Go!"
Ye Daoxin sacrificed the "Golden Dragon Flame Spear" and stabbed it directly on the stone wall of the passage, but he found that the passage was extremely hard, and the "Golden Dragon Flame Spear" only pierced less than a meter into it, and it could no longer be pierced.
Moreover, when Ye Daoxin pulled out the "Golden Dragon Flame Spear", he found that the passage was slowly healing, although the speed was not fast, but it was indeed healing.
What a hard passage, such a powerful maze!
It seems that we will not be able to get out anytime soon.
"Brother Lin, what should we do, will we be trapped here?"
Feeling like she couldn't get out, Miao Xuan was a little scared, did she have to be trapped in the mine forever?
"Don't worry, let's take a break and sort out the route we've taken so we can further filter out the right route. ”
Ye Dao was very calm, he thought that the more powerful the maze, the greater the chance he might get once he got through!
Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't go out in a short time, there are soul forging stones everywhere here, although the particles are not very large, and they are all low-grade soul forging stones, but they can completely meet the needs of Ye Daoxin's cultivation of divine consciousness.
I believe that as long as my divine sense increases greatly, if I can cover thirty or fifty meters at that time, it will also be of great help to break the maze.
