C15 (1/2)
The scene went back to Fan Mu and the other two. Their door was closed, and Fan Mu was lost in thought. He knew what he saw, but he couldn't remember.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in Fan Mu's mind. He raised his head to look at the inscriptions on the walls, and his eyes lit up.
”The sky is wide, I understand. Going back to the left path is a bit fishy, that's probably the exit,” Fan Mu blurted out in excitement. Before Xu Tianliang could understand what was going on, Fan Mu had already turned back.
The two people rapidly flew between the black and white pieces, ”Fan Mu, didn't we check why the exit was on the left path? What exactly is going on?” Xu Tianliang was still confused. Although he trusted Fan Mu, he still wanted to ask.
”Didn't you say that we've tried all the routes? No, there's still one path that we haven't taken, that's right.” Fan Mu then pointed at the wall above them. ”Here!”
”Up?” Xu Tianliang had never considered this. His thoughts were always restricted to this plane of space, ”But why take the left side?”
”We'll know when we get there,” Fan Mu said, intentionally trying to keep them in suspense. ”Don't touch it when the time comes, it should be filled with traps.” In the end, Fan Mu still warned him.
Both of them landed on the ground at the same time, they had already reached the end of the left passage. Fan Mu pointed at the irregular protrusion on the wall, then raised his head to look at the strange rune on the top, after confirming, he turned around and explained to Xu Tianliang what he had done previously. ”Look at the ten thousand runes here, it seems to be sealing something.”
”Your perception is really sharp, you definitely won't lose to big brother Ling,” Xu Tianliao clapped his hands as he praised them. He had never cared about this small detail before. If it wasn't for Fan Mu observing them carefully, the two of them would probably be imprisoned here forever.
”This protrusion looks really familiar, as if I've seen this pattern before.” Following the direction of Fan Mu's finger, Xu Tianliang carefully observed the protrusion on the wall. Although he couldn't see it clearly by looking at it alone, it seemed to be a pattern.
Fan Mu didn't think so in the beginning. He only saw this as a normal protrusion, thinking that one of them was related to the ten thousand runes. However, after hearing Xu Tianliang's words, he remembered that they should be observed from a holistic perspective.
”This is very familiar, I should have only seen it before.” Looking at the pattern formed by the lines, Fan Mu was slightly shocked, as if he had only seen it yesterday but could not remember. Fan Mu patted his head, ”Why aren't you giving it a try now? I've obviously seen it before!”
”Oh, I got it. Why do you feel so familiar? Look at the people who are calculating on the way, everyone has a small flag. This pattern is exactly the same as the one on top.” Xu Tianliang's eyes lit up as his right hand clenched into a fist and his mouth opened wide.
”Gossip!” Fan Mu reacted instantly, and a golden flower seemed to appear in his eyes. Fan Mu seemed very excited, and said to Xu Tianliang, ”Xu Tianwei, come over here and let me see those protrusions.”
The path was narrow, and Fan Mu was so excited that he didn't forget to stay in a safe zone. He switched positions with Xu Tianliang, and gently stroked the protrusion with his fingers.
The patterns were dense, and even though he could see the secret hidden within the pattern, he still did not know what the connection was with the ten thousand characters. He only discovered that even though it was indeed a Eight Trigrams pattern, it did not seem complete, and it lacked a few protrusions.
Crunch!” Fan Mu touched a place that should have had a protrusion, but had no protrusion. That place actually sank down. ”Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!” Fan Mu realized that he had done something wrong.
The walls on both sides opened up, revealing a hole the size of a pot on each side. The sound of flapping wings came from the cave, and a large group of black-winged, red-bellied bats arrived as scheduled, startling Xu Tianhu and Fan Mu.
”Black Winged Red Bat, blood sucking poison!” Fan Mu had read about it in the books before, and as he came back to his senses, he realized that although this bat was small, its venom was extremely potent. A single drop could kill an elephant, and the consequences of being bitten by it could be imagined.
”Fan Mu, leave them to me, hurry up and decrypt them, we need to escape from here,” Saying that, the red core once again began to revolve, Xu Tianliang drew a circle in the air, a mudstone fortress wrapped around Fan Mu and Tu Wen. He took a deep breath, ”Hey, your opponent is me!”
Red light appeared and filled the entire area with earth elemental energy. Xu Tianliang raised two fingers, blew air with his mouth, and then pointed at the Black Winged Red Bat in the air, ”Earth Shattering Mountain.” The sound of the chants continued to circulate as the space in front of Xu Tianlang's fingers continuously formed into a ball of dirt, shooting towards the bats in the air. Each of the explosions took away a bat, which could be said to be extremely accurate.
Kacha! The bats on the ground unexpectedly pressed down the white pieces on the ground. Countless flying needles exploded from the holes and flew towards the place where the mechanism had been activated. Groups of bats were hit by the poisonous needles, and more and more of them died on the way.
Xu Tianliang clicked his tongue and said to himself, ”You can even do that? I truly am worthy of being called a genius! ”
In order to save the two of them, Fan Mu had gathered all of his psychic power in the barrier. After a period of probing, he had a rough idea of what to do.
There's gossip,” said Fan Mu to himself. ”In this order, it's oracular, oracular, oracular, oracular, anecdote. Now that every one of them is missing a bulge, how can I recover it?
Considering that he had released the bat when he pressed the button on the non-prominent spot previously, Fan Mu felt that it was only a matter of order. Now that Xu Tianming had shouted the word ”Mountain Shot”, Fan Mu had an idea.
”Mountain?” To be frank, Yun Tian was an interesting person, ”Fan Mu could not help but giggle,” Guanzhang Mountain belongs to this one! ”
After finding the sequence, Fan Mu couldn't wait to verify it. He pressed the button on the missing place, ”Ca,” unlike what happened before, the wall didn't cave in and instead gave birth to a small synaptic patch. Fan Mu calmly watched as his thoughts were proven, and finally didn't screw things up again.
Crack, crack, crack, crack. The missing parts of the Eight Trigrams were restored one after another. A golden light flashed, and all the synapses sank down. A stone button was pressed. Fan Mu didn't know what was going on outside, so he didn't have time to consider the accuracy of the buttons.
Rumble … The wall above the two slowly opened with ten thousand characters of runes.
Seeing this, ”Release!” As soon as Xu Tianliao gave the order, the barrier protecting Fan Mu opened. As soon as the barrier was opened, Fan Mu was shocked to see the red bats littered all over the ground, praising Xu Tianliang's strength.
”Fan Mu, let's go!” Xu Tianliang's tone was hurried as he pulled Fan Mu and leapt towards the space at the top like a bolt of lightning, bidding farewell to the angry red bat.
The dark night opened the green curtain, and the moonlike figure in the thick ink stone let out a silver light. The sweet smell of plants spread out, turning into a colorless net. It was quiet and cozy, making people forget that they were still in a maze.
When Fan Mu and his companion arrived at the second level of the maze, their minds were in turmoil. They didn't expect that the maze would allow them to advance even further. However, the comfortable environment and the tranquil atmosphere stunned their companions.
The place at the entrance had returned to normal. It was not an illusion. Indeed, before the two of them was a lush forest.
