Since he had been unable to contact other teammates, Xiao Lou felt very anxious and frowned tightly.
Yu Hanjiang looked at his serious face and comforted him in a low voice, "Don't worry too much. Brother Jiu and the four of them are capable of protecting themselves. Mr. Shao and Ye Qi have Tao Yuanming in their hands. They can hide in the Peach Blossom Spring when they are in danger. Maybe it's just that the contact is interrupted and they are not
Nothing happened."
Xiao Lou opened the team contract. All twelve names on the signature page were there, and the team-limited resurrection card and time-travel card had not been used. The names were still there, which at least proved that all teammates were alive.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since we can't contact them, let's do what we should do first. Investigate this ghost town and see if we can find any clues."
Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement, held down his earphones and said, "Everyone jump out of the window and gather together as soon as possible."
After a while, a group of six people gathered downstairs in the inn.
Liu Qiao walked forward with concern and asked, "Professor Xiao, are you okay? Your face looks a little ugly."
Xiao Lou forced a smile, "It's okay, I'm just worried about my teammates who suddenly lost contact. Fortunately, they are all alive, and the names on the contract are all there..." He turned to look at the dark alley and said, "Let's go, go first
Investigate around, and then find a way to meet up with Ninth Brother and the others after dawn."
The group of people followed Xiao Lou and walked forward.
Qingfeng Town at night seemed to have suddenly become an empty town. No sound could be heard in the town. Even the moon and stars above the head seemed to be blocked. It was pitch black and no five fingers could be seen.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang took out two luminous pearls to illuminate.
The group of people walked forward for a few minutes, and Lao Mo suddenly wondered, "I remember that during the day, the alley behind the inn should be about 100 steps long. Why does the road seem to be longer at night?"
This dark alley seems to have no end.
Yu Hanjiang also became alert and asked in a deep voice, "We went to the ghost town last night and walked most of the paths in the town. We have never encountered such a long alley, right?"
Lao Mo took out the topographic map of the maze he drew last night and said in a very affirmative tone, "No, the maze we walked last night was similar to a honeycomb maze. The roads were all winding and there were no such long and straight alleys."
Qu Wanyue said, "I also remember the ghost town maze last night. Most of them turned around every ten steps. We walked hundreds of steps just now but we kept walking in a straight line. Could it be that the maze will change every night?"
Liu Qiao did not follow everyone in last night. When she heard this, she guessed, "Will the ghost town maze at night be changed according to the plot at night?"
Xiao Lou thought so too. He looked at Liu Qiao and said, "It is indeed possible. What we saw last night was that Miss Zhao got married and Mrs. Chen gave birth to a child. There will be different plot clues tonight, and the maze will change accordingly...
...In other words, the ghost town is different every night, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to our investigation."
Long Sen complained, "So, the maze diagram that Lao Mo drew last night will not be used tonight?"
Lao Mo looked depressed. He turned the white handkerchief over and sighed, "Oh, I can only draw it again. There is a maze every night. Does the little girl with the square piece want to torment us to death?"
Liu Qiao shrugged, "I never thought she was cute. If Ninth Brother were here, he would definitely call her a pervert."
Xiao Lou said helplessly, "Let's go, I don't know what the ghost town will be like tonight."
The group of people continued to move forward along the long and narrow alley. Lao Mo would always scale the map according to the scale. For example, one centimeter on the map is equal to ten actual steps, which would make it more intuitive.
He used his fingers to draw a long straight line on the back of the handkerchief. Strangely, the straight line had no end.
I don’t know how long I walked, but Lao Mo stopped, looked down at the map he drew, and frowned, “It’s been more than 200 steps, why doesn’t this alley have an exit?”
Liu Qiao looked around and said, "There is no house around such a long alley?"
Xiao Lou turned around and looked behind him. The inn he jumped down from just now seemed to have disappeared. Under the light of the night pearl, the entire alley seemed extremely deserted, with only the shadows of the six of them dragging long on the ground.
A dark and quiet environment can easily amplify people's tension.
The six people stayed in the empty alley, looking at each other.
Yu Hanjiang whispered, "Try to see if there is a path on the side." In the ancient tomb maze, they also encountered endless steps, but it turned out to be an illusion. The way out was actually on the side. Yu Hanjiang wanted to try the side, which was considered a normal reaction.
Xiao Lou knew what he was going to do and took a step back consciously.
Yu Hanjiang took out a sharp saber, raised his head, and slashed hard at the wall——
This knife cuts iron like mud, and Yu Hanjiang's strength is so strong that his teammates thought that he would make a hole in the wall. However, when Yu Hanjiang slashed his knife down, the wall did not move at all, but Yu Hanjiang's knife was sucked in like a sponge.
In the wall!
An extremely strong force pulled Yu Hanjiang. Seeing that his arm was about to be sucked into the wall, Xiao Lou quickly grabbed his other hand and pulled him back desperately. "Hanjiang, be careful!"
Yu Hanjiang reacted very quickly and immediately put away the cards.
Xiao Lou was in shock, grabbed Yu Hanjiang's hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
Yu Hanjiang shook his head, "It's okay. There is something wrong with this wall, please don't get close!" If the knife just now was not a card, it must have been sucked away by the wall at this time. Fortunately, Yu Hanjiang stopped his hand quickly enough, otherwise he would have lost one in vain.
knife.
Liu Qiao's face turned pale, and she looked at the wall as if she were seeing a monster. She whispered, "Is it a visual illusion? Or is it that we have encountered a real 'ghost beating the wall' and we will never be able to get out?"
This alley?”
In order to verify Liu Qiao's question, Xiao Lou took out a compass, drew a circle, and threw it at the wall.
Just like before, the ring was automatically sucked into the wall and quickly disappeared without leaving any trace.
The walls on both sides of the alley look like man-eating monsters.
Old Mo suddenly said, "Look carefully, the bricks on the ground and walls are different from the bricks used in the buildings in Qingfeng Town, and they are also different from those encountered in the ghost town last night. There is no need to connect the bricks when the gatekeeper changes the maze.
Are all the blocks replaced?"
Lao Mo is the most professional in the use of building materials. When Xiao Lou heard this, he also noticed something was wrong. Although the light was dim and the lines on the bricks could not be seen clearly, no matter in Qingfeng Town during the day or in the ghost town last night, all the materials used were
Ancient stone tiles were not that smooth and smooth, and some moss would even grow in the gaps between the floor tiles.
But tonight in the alley, the ground and walls are extremely smooth, a bit like cyan marble?
The technology of ancient brick kilns is far from reaching this level.
Xiao Lou was startled, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "This is not a maze, but a card effect. Someone has locked us in a closed space!"
Almost as soon as Xiao Lou finished speaking, a burst of "quacking" sounds suddenly sounded around him. Yu Hanjiang suddenly turned around and shined the night pearl behind him - only to see overwhelming crows flying from behind like a dark cloud, screaming and rushing toward him.
Everyone!
Yu Hanjiang had never seen so many crows in his life. The crows filled the entire alley so densely that they almost drowned the six of them.
The crowd of crows was so fast that Liu Qiao, who was standing at the end, was almost blinded by the crows. She quickly flew up with Qinggong and threw out a little red riding hood as her substitute. Almost instantly, the little red riding hood was drowned by the crows.
Liu Qiao was frightened and quickly released the fairy tale card Elsa that he had drawn earlier——
Ice and snow are coming!
The card Aisha was drawn just after clearing the Q secret room. Liu Qiao used it for the first time today.
I saw the ice and snow falling with extremely gorgeous special effects, freezing the air behind her in an instant, and the sound of frost freezing living creatures could be heard in my ears!
The crows that were still flying were frozen by the ice and snow, and collectively turned into frozen crows, like ice sculptures, frozen in the air in various weird postures.
Liu Qiao flew back to Xiao Lou with a pale face and said, "It's the hunter again!"
Xiao Lou looked at the group of frozen crows in front of him and said softly, "Everyone, be careful. The hunter this time is very powerful."
I just met the "female ghost" with hair flying everywhere, and now someone locked them in an alley and released a flock of crows to attack them...
Yu Hanjiang suddenly said, "This alley should also be a kind of 'space field' card, which forced us into a closed place."
Lao Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "Then how should we get out?"
Xiao Lou was helpless, "We can't go out without the owner's permission, just like my Peach Blossom Spring." However, the environment of the Peach Blossom Spring looks beautiful, with peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains, but this time the environment of the domain is dark alleys.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Domains generally have time limits. Peach Blossom Spring is 3 hours long. Since his card can force us into a dark alley, based on the strength of the S card, the time should be about the same."
It won’t take more than 3 hours.”
Liu Qiao said, "In other words, we have to try our best to survive these three hours?"
In the original Q secret room, Xiao Lou also pulled the clones of the mermaid tribe into the Peach Blossom Spring and burned them. In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, it is inevitable that they will become prey and be pulled into other realms and spaces.
As the difficulty of the levels increases, the challengers become stronger and stronger, and the hunters will naturally not be too weak.
Xiao Lou whispered to his teammates, "Everyone, come here, gather around back to back, prepare your cards, and be ready to fight at any time."
After hearing this, his teammates immediately moved closer to Xiao Lou. The six of them formed a circle and looked around alertly.
But then, nothing happened.
Ten minutes...twenty minutes...
Compared with Xiao Lou and the others who were tense and alert, this hunter seemed to be very patient.
I don’t know how much time passed, but there was still no change in the surrounding environment. The dark alley was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Although everyone is tired, they dare not relax at all. The large area of ice and snow created by Liu Qiao with cards has gradually melted, but no one can say whether something else will attack them.
At this moment, a large number of green vines suddenly appeared under everyone's feet. Those vines seemed to be conscious, and they quickly wrapped around everyone's legs!
Yu Hanjiang's expression changed, and he immediately waved his saber, cutting off all the vines under his feet. Xiao Lou quickly took out his compass and drew an invincible circle around his teammates.
Green Vine bared its teeth and claws outside the invincible circle, but could not get close to them.
However, the invincible circle can only last for 10 minutes. Once so many green vines get out of control, they will definitely strangle their necks quickly! What’s even more frightening is that until now, this hunter has never shown his face, and no one knows
How many trump cards does he have?
Xiao Lou whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear, "We can no longer sit back and wait for death. Since he can attack us with various cards, he must also be in this field. We must find him as soon as possible."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, with a sharp flash in his eyes, "That's right. There is another way to break this closed realm - that is to kill its owner."
