Shen Qi didn't hesitate for long before he chose the side road they took.
Although everyone was confused about this, they did not ask questions.
However, after everyone walked into the fork in the road, a person appeared in their original position, Shen Qi.
To be precise, it is projection Shen Qi.
The ability that Shen Qi thought was useless at first played a very important role at this moment. It was very useful whether it was used to lure enemies or explore paths.
But why didn't Shen Qi perform it in front of everyone?
Projection Shen Qi shook his head. He didn't quite understand this, but he still knew his mission.
Looking at the other fork in the road, Shen Qi walked over, muttering to himself.
"Then let me go and explore."
——
On the other side, a group of people were groping along the fork in the road. The slightly bright luminous stones prevented them from being afraid.
"Shen Qi, why did you choose this path?"
Susie held it in for a long time and finally asked.
The others looked over one after another, and they actually wanted to know.
"Why did you choose this path and not another?"
Shen Qi looked back at Su Qi.
"Because both roads are the same, I chose based on the principle of proximity."
Just...the principle of proximity?
"that's all?"
"if not?"
"Forehead......"
Everyone was stunned. They originally thought that this choice was based on some kind of basis, but they did not expect that it was just the "nearby principle".
This is not a treat, it’s the principle of proximity or something like that. Although there is nothing wrong with it, is it too simple?
"But...but, don't you think this is too, too simple? What if something happens..."
"oops!"
Before Susie could finish her words, she tripped over an unknown object and fell to the ground in despair.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
"Are you OK?"
Although Shen Qi asked this question, he did not step forward to help her up. Li Fei could not stand it anymore. She was indeed a straight man, so she lifted Su Qi up.
Su Qian stared at Shen Qi resentfully, couldn't you come over and give me a hand? She asked if everything was okay, what's the point!
Then she lowered her head and wanted to vent her anger on the thing that tripped her.
However, when she reached down and touched it, she touched something cold and metallic.
"Huh? What is this?"
She tried it and found she couldn't pick it up.
"What's wrong?" Li Feijian asked from the side.
"I seem to have discovered something." Susie said blankly.
"thing?"
Li Fei also squatted down and pushed the fluorescent stick forward, shining on Su Qian's hand.
A piece of metal bar appeared in front of the two of them. Li Fei looked at it for a moment, then cleaned up the surrounding soil. Then she was surprised to find that the thing under the metal bar...
A piece of track!
"Shen Qi!"
"We found something!"
——
After Shen Qi and others heard the two people's calls, they immediately turned back, and this section of the track was cleared by them.
Looking at the tracks buried in the soil, everyone fell into deep thought.
Contacting the ore discovered in the cave before, they easily thought that this was a mine tunnel, and it was a mine tunnel that had been abandoned for many years!
This discovery shocked them. It showed that someone had conducted mining operations here a long time ago, and the ore was sent into the innermost part.
"What do you think?" Shen Qi asked.
Although he felt that these were related to the ruins, there was nothing directly related to the Dharma people.
"I think we need to go inside to make speculations. Unfounded guesses will only lead us to wrong associations."
As a relatively professional person present, Electronic Eye expressed his opinion.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
After thinking about it carefully, they felt that the electronic eye was right. Any conclusion drawn without direct evidence is just a guess, and it is very likely that something is wrong.
"But what do you think is the reason why the entire track was buried under the soil?" Li Fei asked.
The others looked at Shen Qi, but Shen Qi was unable to answer.
The most he knows is that this is a track that has been abandoned for more than four thousand years and has not been eroded by time, which means that this track still retains its function.
There is someone who knows more about this magical thing than he does.
"Wu Yang, what do you think?"
Wu Yang didn't say anything. She stepped forward and touched the track, and then looked along the direction of the track. Except for the part they excavated, the rest was buried underneath.
She said: "I didn't feel any traces of the tempering effect, ruling out the role of thaumaturgy."
"This should be a trace given by time. The composition of those orbits has mysterious energy protection, so it can last for such a long time without being damaged."
"As we go forward, we will know these secrets."
After Shen Qi heard this, he also touched the track, and immediately the real eye opened for analysis.
[Unknown mine protected by mysterious power: not used for a long time, in idle state]
Protected by mysterious powers?
A bright light flashed in Shen Qi's eyes, and his hands burst out with hot white light, which was then transmitted to the orbit. Everyone looked at his actions and became confused, why did Shen Qi suddenly do this?
【tell!】
[The mysterious power of the ruins is detected]
【Do you want to activate?】
This is why Shen Qi did this. After he touched the track, two prompts appeared in the system.
【activated!】
Following the system prompts, the entire fork in the road began to vibrate, and the ground trembled slightly, as if something was moving.
"Look quickly!"
Susie pointed in the direction ahead and exclaimed.
Li Fei threw the light stick over, and everyone finally saw what happened.
Boom boom boom...
The buried tracks actually emerged from the buried soil again!
The electronic eye looked at Shen Qi in surprise. Just now, Shen Qi did something to the orbit, and then it changed like this. So what on earth is going on?
"Advisor Shen Qi, did you trigger the mechanism?"
Electronic Eyes asked curiously.
Shen Qi nodded, then shook his head.
He didn't know if this was a mechanism, because he just activated the mysterious power. As for why he was able to activate it, he still didn't know.
It's just that that mysterious power gave him a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Wait, look! It seems like something is coming!" Susie screamed again.
In the darkness ahead, two lights suddenly appeared, and the sound of "eating, eating, eating, eating" came from the fork in the road.
"what is that?"
Everyone was puzzled.
The guardians drew their weapons and stood in front of everyone. They would buy time for Shen Qi and others when the thing rushed over.
But when the thing came in front of them, they were stunned.
