At dawn on the fourth day, everyone was ready.
At dawn, Ye Fan took several other Martial Lords to the large ruins of the palace in the canyon oasis.
The ruins of the palace, which were several miles in size, always gave him a feeling of incomparable vicissitudes. This collapsed palace is estimated to be an ancient palace from at least thousands of years ago, but we don't know who built it here.
The pile of ashes left by Ghost Face is still there, but no one cares about it at this time.
Their attention was focused on the stone door facing the ground. This stone door was not big, but it was covered with various strange sacrificial patterns, which made people feel fearful.
There is a palm-sized groove in the middle of the stone door, which is the switch to enter.
Ye Fan took out a ghost disciple token, looked back at everyone, and asked them if they were ready.
Everyone looked nervous and nodded.
Ye Fan then put the Ghost Disciple Token into a groove in the middle of the stone door, pressed it in, and slowly turned it.
"Crunch~ Crunch!"
The stone door was slowly opened, revealing a deep and dark stone staircase passage, with bluestone rock walls on both sides, going straight to the very depths of the ground.
A strong ghostly aura also rushed toward everyone.
Everyone suddenly felt a chill and extremely palpitating.
The ghost energy in the ground was so strong, which was beyond their expectation. They were afraid that there really was a martial lord from the ghost clan inside.
Everyone was on alert.
Cao Youwen has already taken out one of her small gourds of third-level wine, ready to take action at any time.
"I am an adventurer, I lead the way!"
Qin Yuer held a short blade tightly in her sharp hands, her pink and jade-carved little face showing great excitement.
This is also the first time that she has come to such a completely unknown adventure place without the care of her family elders. For a true adventurer, this kind of danger and excitement is undoubtedly as attractive as a jug of fine wine to an alcoholic.
A brave adventurous spirit and a strong desire to explore the unknown world will make adventurers take the most dangerous actions regardless of their own safety. Even if his life is in danger, he will not hesitate.
Ye Fan smiled and let her walk in front, while he walked in the second position.
He could understand Qin Yuer's current mood.
Qin Yuer chose the adventure department, which was a necessary step in her adventure career. Although the front is indeed dangerous and completely unpredictable.
She pushed open the stone door at the entrance and was about to step onto the first stone step when she suddenly had a strange look on her face and didn't dare to stop.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Ye Fan looked inside the tunnel, but found nothing unusual, so he couldn't help but ask Qin Yu'er.
The rest of the people are also strange.
"It's common sense that there must be traps and hidden weapons in the tunnels. I used to follow my grandfather on adventures, and what I had to do in this kind of underground palace was to crack the traps. This stone staircase passage is narrow and straight, and the stone steps are paved with stone bricks, which are only two feet high. It is wide and about one hundred feet long. There are some small holes on both sides of the passage. This passage is probably the passage for hidden weapons! If a person steps on the stone bricks in the wrong position, the hidden weapons will be shot out immediately! "
Qin Yuer pointed forward and analyzed carefully.
"It's possible! Why don't you try stepping on it?"
Ye Fan nodded thoughtfully and said deliberately with a smile.
"I won't try. The passage is so narrow that you can't even dodge when the trap arrows are shot out. It's very easy to break the trap passage. Just find a round stone and throw it in!"
Qin Yuer immediately shook his head and said angrily.
Ye Fan looked around the stone gate. There were many ruins and stones here. He picked up a stone weighing dozens of kilograms from the ruins, cut it into round stones, and rolled it down the stone steps sloping downward.
The boulder just rolled down and there was no response, but when it reached the ninth stone step, there was a sudden "Gada" sound, which seemed to trigger some mechanism.
Whoosh, whoosh...!
Sure enough, a large number of fine gold needles shot out from the small holes on both sides of the stone path. These golden needles shoot out from various tricky angles, left, right, up and down. Unless someone's whole body is covered with armor, they will definitely be attacked.
A lot of golden needles were inserted into the boulder in an instant.
Fortunately, it's a stone, so it won't be a problem no matter how many times it gets stabbed.
Everyone was shocked.
The boulder rolled all the way down, almost triggering all the mechanisms on the stone steps of this passage. It didn't stop until it reached the bottom of a hundred feet deep.
"There are mechanisms on the ninth, fifteenth...seventy-eighth...ninetieth stone steps."
Ye Fan reported a series of numbers.
Everyone finally felt relieved when they saw that all the stone steps in the passage were triggered.
"I'll go to the bottom first, and you'll follow me later!"
Qin Yuer was the first to go in, carefully following the traces of rolling boulders. I went all the way to the bottom of the passage without any problems.
Later, Ye Fan and others followed in.
Walking through this dark stone path, below is the entrance to a palace.
"Is this an underground maze?"
Ye Fan looked into the entrance and was suddenly a little surprised.
There is no one here, there are only many entrances to the entrance, you can go inside. However, there is no way to see the size and scope of this maze, nor do we know what we will encounter inside.
"There are three forks when you go in here. If nothing else, there are more forks when you go in. You can't pass this maze unless you take a correct path. If you don't go in, you have no idea what's inside this maze. situation. But once you enter, you are likely to lose your way and not be able to find the exit."
Qin Yuer said worriedly.
Zhao Zhong was very surprised: "Why did the ghost clan build a maze underground here?"
"This place was not created by the ghost clan. There was another owner originally, who should be a person who was proficient in mechanisms and labyrinths. But later the owner disappeared, and the ghost clan just occupied the magpie nest and occupied someone else's place."
Qin Yuer shook her head.
But Feng Rufeng's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "I know how to solve this maze. You just need to keep walking along the left wall or the right wall to find the final exit through the maze!"
He can be considered an adventurer, but he doesn't know much about it. But he knows how to solve some mazes.
Qin Yuer immediately rolled her eyes and said, "If you encounter a maze with a 'back' shape, and the exit and entrance are not connected, and you just go around in a circle, won't you just come back to this exit?"
Feng Rufeng was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he was speechless. Walking along one side of the wall, it is obviously impossible to pass the "zig-zag" maze.
"What's more, what I'm most worried about is that this is not a single-layered maze, but a multi-layered maze. At most, I can only solve some single-layered mazes, but multi-layered mazes are very troublesome. Once trapped in it, I'm afraid that I will walk to If you die, you can't get in or get out. In addition, if you set up all kinds of weird traps in the maze, it will simply put people in a place of death. My grandfather once said that if you encounter multiple layers of A circular maze, then the person who designed the maze is definitely a pervert, and you must not enter it easily."
Qin Yuer said worriedly.
But from the outside, you can't tell what kind of maze this maze is.
Even the adventurer's map on the token of the Ten Boat Races did not indicate how to pass this maze.
When Mu Bing, Cao Youwen and Zhao Zhong heard this, they were all stunned. This was the first time they knew that this maze was so difficult.
"Let's go in and take a look! Only when you go in can you know what's going on inside. Since ghost disciples can come in and out freely, it means that this maze can also be entered and exited. Are we not as good as ghost disciples?!"
Ye Fan said lightly.
He was not too worried. Shang could calculate the path even in a complicated maze.
It doesn't matter if you really can't calculate it.
With that said, Ye Fan took the lead and walked into the maze passage in front.
"But what if we really get lost in there? We didn't bring much dry food, and we would starve to death after being trapped for a few days."
Qin Yuer said hurriedly.
"Then tear down the wall! If you really can't find a way out, dig a hole above your head. If you dig a hundred feet, you can see the sun."
Ye Fan said without looking back.
This wall is just an ordinary underground rock, and it can trap ordinary mortals and low-level warriors with weak strength.
It is neither a black copper wall nor a black iron wall, which is indestructible and can even trap Wu Zun inside.
"This... is a good idea!"
"Let's go, Yu'er! This trick is more effective than anything else."
Mu Bing and Cao Youwen both burst into laughter.
"Tear down...the wall? How could you use such a simple and crude method to destroy this ancient maze! What would the ancients who worked so hard to build this maze think, and wouldn't they jump out of their coffins with anger at you?"
Qin Yu'er was stunned for a long time, with a face full of shame and anger, and she stamped her feet and hurriedly followed.
She hadn't thought of this simple method. I still hesitated at the entrance of this maze for a long time, not daring to go in.
Zhao Zhong, Feng Rufeng and Heishui were also stunned for a moment, shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and followed in.
Ye Fan walked in front of everyone this time.
He is not worried about getting lost in this maze.
In contrast, he was more worried about whether he would encounter a trap or encounter a ghost.
Ye Fan calmly pricked his middle finger, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and ejected it one after another.
"Call"
Four blood eagles appeared and flew in front of the maze, heading deeper into the maze in different directions.
In the pupil of Ye Fan's left eye, the vision of these blood eagles is constantly transformed. Wherever the blood eagles can see, they can be seen.
This labyrinth is quite grand. There are many skeletons and corpses in many places. Even the clothes have long been corrupted. It seems that they are people who were trapped and died here a long time ago.
Various strange and bizarre hidden weapons are also set up in the maze passages.
Stone traps, flamethrowers, rockfall traps... Many adventurers who entered the underground palace died on these dangerous mechanisms. It is estimated that due to the age, many of the traps have long since expired.
Fortunately, these hidden weapons did not trouble Ye Fan. No matter how dangerous the organization is, there are records, and if there are records, there are ways to break them.
Moreover, there was a blood eagle flying ahead to explore the road, which saved Ye Fan a lot of time in finding the road.
After walking for two full hours, Ye Fan finally found another passage deeper into the ground in this giant maze. In this passage, the cave walls are smooth and there are no more mechanisms.
However, there were a lot of faint sounds coming from deep in the passage.
