The secret guards looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time: "I can't remember the specific time." The fight was so enjoyable and so tense that they forgot the time for a while.
Qin Jiyan frowned slightly, and Wu Yi, who had always existed like an invisible man, suddenly said: "I estimated the time and we have been here for at least four hours."
Along the way, he didn't have to do anything, he just kept counting the passage of time.
"Four hours? It's been nearly a day, and we don't feel hungry?" Gu Qiancheng didn't believe that there was no problem.
Qin Jiyan was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with this palace. Let's go back the way we came."
"Okay." Gu Qiancheng was not surprised, and the secret guard didn't say anything.
There are too many doubts about this palace. Even if there is only the last palace left, they don't want to risk it, but...
Reality cannot allow them to say no!
As soon as they walked back, Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng found that they could not find the original road.
"The location of the palace has changed." Qin Jiyan has lived in the palace since he was a child and knows every palace very well.
"We pulled out a medicinal herb in each temple and went in to have a look." Gu Qiancheng was afraid that these temples were new again.
When they walked in, there was no one in the temple, but there were no corpses. If the pit where the herbs were pulled was not still there, they would have suspected that they had entered another new temple.
"Where's the body?" Such a big body just disappeared?
Without saying a word, the secret guards immediately dispersed to search. Gu Qiancheng also stepped forward to carefully check the situation on the ground.
The ground where someone lay on it is different. Gu Qiancheng quickly found the place where the body originally fell. Following the traces, Gu Qiancheng discovered...
"There are traces of insects crawling, many, many..." The small traces are densely packed and superimposed. People with trypophobia will definitely feel numb when they see this scene.
"Look for it." Qin Jiyan walked to Gu Qiancheng's side, and the two followed the traces to the direction opposite the door. "The traces disappeared here."
"Dig." Qin Jiyan ordered, and the secret guard immediately took out the tentacles of the human-faced spider and dug along the foot of the wall.
The tentacles of the human-faced spider are very sharp, but they cannot shake the wall. They can only dig out the soil at the corner of the wall. The secret guard dug a small pit, but there was nothing in it.
"It doesn't make sense?" Gu Qiancheng was stunned, stepped forward, and then discovered...
"Your Highness, look..." Gu Qiancheng pointed at the wall.
Because the room was too dark and the color of the wall was dull, Gu Qiancheng didn't notice anything unusual at first. Only when he got closer did he see a series of marks on the wall. These marks...
Follow the traces all the way up, and then you see...
"ah……"
There are densely packed little spiders on the roof and roof beams. Those little spiders are all miniature versions of human-faced spiders. The white faces are crowded together like thousands of eyes, staring at the roof beams.
Looking at it, the picture is indescribably disgusting.
Even someone as bold as Gu Qiancheng was shocked when he first saw it.
"It's too, too scary." The secret guard shook the torch and almost lost it.
In addition to the dense and terrifying little spiders with human faces, there are also webs. The webs are not big, each one is only the size of a palm. But there are so many left, stacked on top of each other...
"Why are there so many spiders with human faces?" The secret guard took several deep breaths before calming down.
Damn, that's terrible.
"There are so many huge human-faced spiders out there, don't they want to save seeds?" A certain secret guard thought he was smart, but in fact this answer was indeed very reliable, or in other words, they could not think of any other answer except this answer.
"This is too much. Are there so many spiders in every palace?" There are not even a thousand but eight hundred spiders on this roof. Although... it is really not easy to kill them all.
thing.
"Go and see other temples."
Qin Jiyan was a man of action, so he turned around and walked out with Gu Qiancheng.
There was obviously only one way when they came, but the way they walked back was different from when they came. But now they didn't have the time to worry about it. They wanted to make sure first whether there were little spiders in every temple, and then they did this
Go out, can you go out?
As they walked past each temple, without exception, the roof of each temple was covered with small human-faced spiders. The corpses of the living dead they had killed before were also gone. The only good thing was that these small human-faced spiders did not attack.
them.
After walking around for several times, Gu Qiancheng, Qin Jiyan and his party finally arrived at the first palace they entered. This palace was very special, with ten medicinal fields, but...
They can't find their way out here.
Going out from the door, there are palaces behind, one after another, just like the one they just walked through.
"We have entered an infinite loop and cannot get out." Yes, it is an infinite loop. They searched one palace after another and found the first palace, but they could not find the gate. They were still inside the palace.
middle.
"Is it a formation or a maze?" Gu Qiancheng looked at Qin Jiyan.
If it's a formation, Qin Jiyan can only rely on it. If it's a maze, she can still think of a way.
"I don't know. I can't see any traces of the formation." If it was an old thing from hundreds of years ago and the technique of a formation master, then there was nothing Qin Jiyan could do.
Some things have been lost long ago, and what he knows and learns is limited.
"So, we can only walk into the nearest palace?" Gu Qiancheng leaned weakly in Qin Jiyan's arms, "Your Highness, we walked back for at least three hours, but I still can't
I feel hungry, what should I do?" If she continued like this, she suspected that she would become a living dead.
Neither hungry nor sleepy...is this still a human being?
Qin Jiyan hugged Gu Qiancheng and said, "It's a good sign. The dry food we brought is limited. If you are trapped here and can't get out, you don't have to worry about starving to death."
"I'm worried to death, but you're still in the mood to joke." How terrible is it to become a living dead? She would rather die here than become a living dead.
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. It's really good to be like this now. We have enough time and energy to find a way out, and we don't have to worry about being hungry and having no strength." Qin Jiyan can be regarded as enjoying the hardships, but he doesn't think so, and
How can it be.
Gu Qiancheng laughed: "It makes sense. Let's go, before we become the living dead, we should go to the last hall and see what's inside."
Gu Qiancheng regained his energy and pulled Qin Jiyan forward with full fighting spirit...
Although the layout of each palace has changed, they still found the last palace along the way. This palace was as big as the main hall. They had not entered before, but now they had to because they had no other way...
