I felt something was wrong, but I still didn't fully understand what Shen Yuan said: "What's back, what does it mean?"
Shen Yuan looked around and said, "We probably walked around in the stalagmite forest in vain and returned to the original place."
"Go back the same way? Impossible!"
I understood what Shen Yuan said: "We were obviously going forward and didn't turn around. How could we come back?"
Shen Yuan pointed to the front and said: "There is a fork in the road not far ahead. If you go a little further, you will see the flower of the other side."
"Xiao Shen, are you sure!"
Mao Tianlin didn't believe it either. He was the leader and said, "I didn't turn."
"Yes! We are always moving forward."
"While going around the stalagmites, we made some small turns, but the general direction is correct."
Wu Zijin and Shale also echoed.
Shen Yuan said: "Then let's continue walking forward. Whether I guessed wrong or not, I will soon be able to prove it."
Everyone looked at each other for a while and agreed to Shen Yuan's proposal. In fact, it didn't matter if they disagreed. It was impossible to go back to the stalagmite forest now. If it was right, it would be a big joke.
After walking for only a few minutes, there was indeed a fork in the road ahead, but I was still lucky because there were several forks in the passage that could lead to other doors among the eight doors. This fork in the road was not necessarily the one I had walked through before.
, and at the same time, I silently prayed that Shen Yuan would never get it right.
"Fuck! It's your uncle's!"
As we got closer and closer to the fork in the road, I saw something I least expected to see. A pile of whale oil stains on the ground. There were some tiny canned food residues scattered next to the oil stains. This is where we rested after passing the Biangan Flower: "
You are such a shabby old man, you are like a crow’s mouth, good but not good at bad things.”
"Boss Ye, do you want to keep walking?"
Shen Yuan said to me: "Further ahead, you should be able to see the flowers of the other side that we dragged up from the underground river and countless human bones."
"Look at it!" I said angrily.
Whoever it was, I would feel uncomfortable, Xin Xin
I walked so carefully that my feet almost broke, but I wasted so much time and turned back. Looking at Mao Tianlin, I habitually wanted to say something to him because he was the one who led the way, but I was still stopped.
I suppressed it myself, because even if I were to lead the way, the same problem would have occurred, not to mention that I didn't dare to rush to the front.
The backpack was placed on the ground, and I was paralyzed. I worked exhaustingly for a long time, but the result was all in vain.
"What should we do now?" Wu Zijin asked.
I took off my shoes, looked at the two transparent blisters on the soles of my feet, and said, "What else can I do? Let's eat it cold."
Shen Yuan said: "Let's take a rest before leaving."
"How could this happen, Grandpa Shen?"
Wu Zijin held the gun and squatted next to Shen Yuan, "We are obviously going forward, why did we come back after walking for a long time?"
"This stalagmite forest is a formation that can make us lose our way without knowing it."
Shen Yuan murmured: "No wonder, no wonder at the beginning, we wanted to walk close to the stone wall, but the stalagmites there were too dense and there was no way to go. It turned out to be intentional, so that we had no reference and lost our direction."
"Yes, yes."
Wu Zijin immediately agreed: "The underground river is the same, we can only choose to go in the middle."
"Hmph..."
I popped the blisters on the soles of my feet and said jokingly: "You two are quite competent at being a hindsight person."
"Boss Ye, this matter is not as bad as imagined."
Shen Yuan said: "There are many kinds of mazes. This maze in the stalagmite forest just makes us go back."
I frowned and said: "It's just a way back! It's just a waste of so much time and energy!"
Shen Yuan said: "There are many tricks in the maze formation, which are nothing more than confusing people's judgment, losing their way unconsciously, and following the path of the formation. Among the Five Elements and Bagua, there are the Five Elements Formation and the Bagua Formation, and these two
All formations include mazes. Some mazes are killing traps, which will make you get lost forever, unable to find a way out. Or there are hidden weapons in the mazes that can kill people. If you enter, you will have a narrow escape. But this one
The maze, at least we got out of it smoothly
I'm here, and I haven't encountered any mechanism, which means that this maze is not about execution."
What Shen Yuan said makes a little sense. Now he can only use his words to comfort his sore soles and tired mind: "Then what should we do now? The location is close to the passage and the underground river.
If we can’t walk, why should we swim across the underground river?”
"Hey hey hey..."
Shen Yuan showed his signature lewd smile and said, "No need to bother, Boss Ye, we have a compass."
That's right! How could I have forgotten this? The list of supplies Shen Yuan gave to Chen Qiuhong included a compass, and before going into the mountain, I saw a compass, a dagger, a kettle, and a machete when cleaning up the supplies.
, we all have one thing like the Wolf Fang flashlight. If we have a compass, the problem of the stalagmite forest can be easily solved.
"Okay, time waits for no one."
Shen Yuan took out his compass and said: "We have almost rested, let's set off, oh... By the way, Boss Ye, the things in your backpack are only valuable when you take them out, they are just a burden here, otherwise
You might as well put it at this fork in the road. Even if we are in other passages, we can just come through the fork in the road and it will be very convenient to pick it up. What do you think?"
I agreed. It seems that this Broken Eternal Life Palace can be walked in not one or two days, but two or three days. It took us so much time to walk just a little bit. I really don’t want to carry these ancient relics around all the time.
I honestly cleaned out the items in my backpack. Every time I took out an item, it was like digging out a piece of meat in my heart. I felt very uncomfortable. In the end, I left behind a few valuable but not heavy antiques, and the rest.
They were all piled up to the edge of the passage. Seeing me doing this, Shale quickly emptied his backpack and piled them all together.
After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the edge of the stalagmite forest. There were still wide stalagmites standing in the forest. Maotianlin was still the leader, and Shen Yuan was still the queen. The only difference was that now we each have a compass. In fact, we only need one.
, but for the sake of safety, everyone held the compass in their hands.
Maotianlin passed through a stalagmite, and I followed closely behind. We once again entered this maze.
