Chapter 221: The Great Discovery

readx;

The location of the hole that Xie Jun found was still biased, but when he got to the vicinity, through repeated comparisons, he still accurately found the very secret entrance, the direction of the entrance was not towards the outer edge of the labyrinth, but to the inside, as Liu Shuyan guessed, an upward staircase showed that the path out of the maze was actually on the upper floor, using the original cave processing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And the location of this entrance is actually not far from the place where Xie Jun and they rested just now, which is a typical blind spot psychological design.

Or according to the usual practice, Xie Jun went first to explore the way, and everyone waited patiently at the entrance of the passage, less than half an hour, Xie Jun came back, in addition to his expression was a little tired, and the expression on his face was a little weird, Chen Keyan, who was familiar with Xie Jun, knew that Xie Jun definitely did not go smoothly this time, but what happened, Xie Jun didn't say that she didn't ask anymore, as long as he came back safely.

"Okay, I've confirmed, it's the exit, I took a look at the other side of the exit, it looks like a small basin, some dilapidated artificial buildings, but no people or large animals have been found, judging from the dilapidated buildings, it has been uninhabited for quite a long time. ”

Liu Shuyan asked in a somewhat trembling voice, "Is it the cave heaven there?"

Xie Jun deliberately did not answer immediately, but glanced at everyone, looked at everyone's somewhat anxious eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't know, I only took a look, maybe." ”

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go, everyone!" Liu Shuyan glared at Xie Jun, grinned loudly, and a roaring resonance came from the cave, startling everyone.

Xie Jun turned on the strong light to lead the way in front, everyone followed behind, Liu Shuyan used the lights to shake around on the cave wall from time to time, and after walking for a few minutes, Liu Shuyan suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "According to the convention, some deadly traps are often arranged in the final passage, and only the passage to the trap will be smooth sailing, Master Xie, do you really see clearly?"

"Huh...... Professor Liu, you have a lot of experience, it's not that there are no traps here, it's just that I've broken them, No, look at the ground and the cave wall in front of you. ”

Several lights gathered on the narrow cave wall and the ground not far in front, where there were many blue-black crossbow arrows densely inserted, the arrow seemed to be bronze, the surface was oily, it should be coated with anti-rust grease and the like, and the arrow shaft was a wooden pole soaked in grease, looking at the density of the distribution of the crossbow arrows, everyone felt a little numb in their scalps, I don't know how Xie Jun dodged this impermeable arrow array at that time.

Xie Jun pointed to the half-drawn oval open space in the middle, where there was not a single crossbow arrow, and on the edge of the oval, the density of the crossbow arrows showed an increasing trend, the closer to the oval, the higher the density, to the border, almost tightly squeezed together, everyone gathered around, looked at Xie Jun, and thought about how Xie Jun made the current scene on the ground.

"How did you do it, there seems to be a force field that deflects the crossbow arrows that are being shot, this position should be a cone, isn't it?" Liu Shuyan studied for a while, looked back at Xie Jun who was smiling, and asked with respect.

"Well, that's right, it's just a soft shield formed by air and gravity, a warlock's little trick!" Xie Jun nodded appreciatively, Liu Shuyan's observation ability and knowledge are very good, especially his rich experience, he can actually guess that there will be traps in this passage, Xie Jun also began to be vigilant after discovering a failed flap trap not far from the entrance.

Turning a corner, Xie Jun deflected the light and pointed upward: "There is a broken dragon stone there, but it is stuck now." ”

Everyone looked up, and a broken dragon stone with a thickness of about half a meter stretched out from the upper end of the cave wall for twenty or thirty centimeters, blocked by the stones supported on the walls on both sides and failed to fall.

"Was this supporting stone originally placed here?" Liu Shuyan stretched out his head and carefully looked at the big stone leaning on the cave wall, this kind of heavy bluestone is afraid to weigh hundreds of catties, but after seeing Chen Keyan's strength, Liu Shuyan didn't feel strange that Xie Jun was able to erect these two boulders with his bare hands, but how Xie Jun completed this action the moment the Broken Dragon Stone fell, which surprised him.

"It was originally placed on the ground, I just set them up, and then let the Broken Dragon Stone fall, this mechanism of the Broken Dragon Stone is under the stone slab where Ke Yan is standing now, I found this mechanism in advance, and then there is a lot of time for me to slowly break the mechanism, but these mechanisms are still effective for hundreds of thousands of years, it's amazing!"

"What's even stranger is the type of these organs, right?" Wang Jianjun suddenly interjected, Xie Jun looked at Wang Jianjun with interest, nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"According to common sense, it is obviously not ordinary people who can walk through the labyrinth, these mechanisms can be said to be extremely powerful against ordinary people, but in front of a warlock like Master Xie, it is almost defenseless, why do you have to get these mechanisms?"

Chen Keyan suddenly smiled softly and said, "I don't have the ability to crack these mechanisms, and Senior Brother is not an ordinary warlock. ”

Everyone sighed in a trance, and there was something more in their eyes when they looked at Xie Jun.

Xie Jun shook his hand and said: "Wang Jianjun's judgment is right, these organs here are trivial, in fact, there are some powerful magic circles, but there is no effect, compared to these mechanisms, those magic circles seem to be more ancient, they have not been adjusted and supplemented in time, they have been completely invalid, and some of them that are still working have been lifted by me." ”

"So can you guess that the circle was built earlier, and when the circle gradually lost its effect, these ordinary mechanisms were built, so it seems...... It's declining!"

Liu Shuyan said with some surprise, frowning and turning to Xie Jun, Xie Jun spread his hands helplessly, saying that he also felt very sorry for this result, why did a powerful skill like Qimen Shushu gradually decline? Could it be that the person who set up this maze in the first place did not pass it on? Or did some special change occur that caused the inheritance to lose its effectiveness?

It's a pity that as an ordinary person, Xie Jun will not tell himself about these secret things of Qimen, especially on the occasion of so many people, maybe find a time to ask privately to see if he can satisfy his curiosity.

"Is it caused by the gradual scarcity of the vitality of heaven and earth?"

After speaking, Chen Tingyi found that everyone looked at him, with surprise and curiosity in his eyes, even in some dim lights, everyone could see it, Chen Tingyi's slightly pale face quickly turned red, and his eyes were a little evasive: "I, I will also read fantasy novels, there, it's all said like this." ”

Unfortunately, I don't know if there is a Heaven and Earth Element, at least I haven't found it yet, so it's a bit inexplicable to talk about the reduction of Heaven and Earth Vitality. However, the failure of the circle is mainly due to the wear and tear of the magic weapon and the geomagnetism, Gravitational force and other changes in the environment, in response to these changes, the circle must make subtle adjustments, if it is not adjusted in time, the circle will also fail, the situation here is a combination of these two situations, as for the front of the maze, it is a naturally generated circle, generally with the change of the environment and its own changes, from the actual situation of the labyrinth now, the circle there has become more complicated, the changes in the maze are likely to be the reason why this place has been abandoned, because the people who live here themselves can not pass through the labyrinth. ”

Xie Jun skillfully diverted the topic and did not answer Liu Shuyan's questions, one reason was naturally that he didn't want to tell these ordinary people about the secrets of Qimen, and the other reason was because Xie Jun himself was actually half-convinced about the explanation of Qingxuan Daoist, because there were still many unreasonable and unexplainable places in it, such as words, civilization relics, such as the cultivation system, and so on.

Liu Shuyan naturally understood that Xie Jun didn't want to talk about the secret, so he didn't continue to entangle, urging everyone to move on, compared to the secret of the Qimen inheritance, the ruins that Xie Jun saw were more attractive to Liu Shuyan.

After walking for about ten minutes, after several dismantled traps, they finally saw the light of the exit, and everyone involuntarily accelerated their pace, and their hearts also increased their beating speed.

The entrance of the cave is gradually open, there can be twenty or thirty meters, the terrain of the exit is relatively high, there is a platform of several hundred square meters, standing here, you can see the panorama of the whole basin, the front of the platform is a very wide stone step, which extends to the basin ground, the platform is paved by a stone, look at the appearance of the stone, it should be a material taken from the cave, the gap of the stone is tenaciously overgrown with weeds, the stone steps are also occupied by moss, and it becomes greenish-brown, like a blanket.

This is a basin, at a glance you can see a circle of craters in the distance, about two or three thousand meters in diameter, there is a small lake in the middle, the basin is dense and overgrown with trees and weeds, under the shade of grass and trees, you can vaguely see some collapsed buildings, struggling to stand in the gaps of the trees, and you can faintly see the traces of the road in the gaps in the grass.

A group of people stood on the platform at the entrance of the cave, looking out at the misty woodland, and their hearts were filled with a strange emotion, whether it was because of the desolate ruins in front of them, or because of the message from the ancients, the joy of discovery, or the nostalgia of the past?

No one could express their feelings at the moment in words, so everyone fell silent, silently looking at the desolate and magical world, letting all kinds of flavors swell and ferment in their hearts until it was slowly calmed down by time.
