Chapter 192 Mark
This maze is really the most test of one's patience.
The walls and scenes are repeated over and over again. If you stay here for a long time, you will actually have the idea of going around in circles.
In order to confirm whether my idea was correct and whether we were wandering around here, I took a small stone and carved an arrow mark on the corner of the wall to prove where we were walking.
After walking for so long and not seeing any duplicates, I gave up my thoughts, but I still left this mark on every wall.
Song Wei was very troubled, "It's a two-way situation again. Brother Xu, which way do you want to go? This repeated path has made me lose confidence."
It is true that in this environment, the psychological pressure on the person leading the way is indeed greater.
I couldn't make up my mind, so in order to avoid us continuing to struggle with this issue, I picked up a stone from the ground that looked smoother.
When you encounter this difficulty in carving the left and right directions on this stone, you only need to throw it away again.
Song Wei was a little happy to get it, and finally didn't have to worry about it.
After missing it, when we went around this way, we found that the wall was blocked.
Song Wei sat in front of me and pushed the wall. It seemed that he couldn't push it anymore. He turned around and said to me helplessly, "It's a dead end."
I nodded, and as we walked back, we made a cross at the intersection.
This symbol is also in the corner. Except for the two of us, no one else can know about it and it is safer.
Since this road is dead, we naturally go to the other side.
This method is not bad. Compared with the two of us wandering around like headless flies, if we mark it, we can remember whether we have been there or not, and whether it is a dead end.
I originally thought this place was a pure maze. After all, the two of us walked here for so long without seeing anything. Maybe the only risk is other people coming in together.
But after walking for who knows how many hours, when the two of us were about to find a place to rest, we suddenly discovered something else.
Just when the two of us agreed to take a rest, in a blink of an eye I saw a bit of metallic luster.
I turned around and said to Song Wei, "There is something over there."
When the two of us walked over together, we saw something placed in front of a dead end. It looked like a treasure chest.
Song Wei's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to go over and open it, "Treasure box, then we've made a profit. Open it quickly and see what's inside."
I followed him and watched his movements. In fact, I was also curious about this thing.
Song Wei moved it hard, but unfortunately the lock on the box was completely unmoved. No matter how hard he tried, it didn't feel like it was damaged at all.
Where would the key to this box be? I suddenly remembered that we had given many keys before, so I took out one and tried it.
What I didn't expect was that as I moved, the lock opened with a twist.
Before either of us could be happy, the key disappeared.
I thought about it and said, "What does this mean? Is it possible that we will encounter this kind of box again in the future, and the key we got earlier is the key to opening it?"
Song Wei was a little shocked, "Then how many boxes can our key be able to open?"
I stared at the box that had not been opened to see what was inside, and replied to him, "The main thing is to see what is inside and whether it is enough for us to pay back."
I reached out and opened it, and there were several pieces of compressed bread inside.
"It's over." Song Wei looked collapsed.
It is true that such things that can be bought with money can be bought on the street. It does feel a bit inconsistent to appear here, but it also shows from the side that the things in these treasure chests are good and bad, and they can be opened.
It all depends on our luck. As a result, our keys are not very useful.
Anyway, this is what we spent a key to open in exchange for. I still packed it up and we continued to move forward. After all, this is a dead end. If someone comes, we will be stuck in it, or
It's better to stay somewhere where you can walk on both sides.
Song Wei also agreed with my idea, and the two of us got up and went outside.
After we rested for half an hour, we continued on the road. In the next few hours, we continued to find some more treasure chests.
Song Wei didn't want to try what was in the treasure chest, but we were already here. If we didn't see what was inside, our trip would be a loss.
In addition to using the key to open it normally, I haven't thought of using other methods.
The vajra and the box are both made of metal. I hit the keyhole almost a hundred times, but nothing happened.
Song Wei also came over to think of a solution. He didn't know where he got the wire and twisted it left and right against the keyhole.
It's a pity that we can't open this box this way.
After discussing it, we decided to take out another key and open it to have a look.
What surprised me this time was that the things inside were not the same as last time.
There were several bottles of potion. I picked up one at random and shook it. Looking at the clear liquid inside, I was a little confused. Was it water or something?
Then I discovered that this box actually contained a thoughtful explanation, "Qingxin Water can be used to break away from illusions and calm the mind."
This sounds a bit tasteless. It seems that the biggest effect of this thing is that it is not poisonous after drinking it.
I sighed and said, "Another loss, but the appearance of this thing seems to indicate that there may be other things in this box. It just depends on our luck."
Song Wei didn't think it mattered, after all, the two of us had already prepared ourselves mentally for some more compressed biscuits.
Looking at the potion in my hand, Song Wei said jokingly, "Okay, we have food and drink now. Even if we stay in this maze for a few days, we won't be afraid of starving to death."
I originally thought what he said was a joke, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a prophecy.
It's not dark inside this maze. Just like outside, there are normal sunrises and sunsets. It's bright and dark. I've noticed that the time is also normal.
It seemed to be noon when we came in, and it was getting dark and then getting light.
Fortunately, we still have some food and drink here, so we still have some energy.
At this time, I had to be thankful that I got to know Song Wei by accident.
