I checked up and down for a long time, but the result was nothing.No matter if I stomped on it with my hands or feet, or punched it with a knife, even my eyes almost popped out of their sockets, but I just couldn't find any clues.This stone slab is neither engraved with flower thread runes, nor inlaid with gems and foreign objects, and of course there is no mechanism wrench installed.Whether it is the texture of the stone slab or the hardness of the texture, it is no different from ordinary stones, and it is completely unclear why it can rise.

Could it be that the key to activate it is not on the stone slab, but on the ground near it?

Subconsciously, I looked down with my probe, only to find that the dark light source was actually very annoying to cover up.Originally, the layout of the maze could be roughly seen clearly on the platform of the passage, but at this moment, although the position is higher than the platform, but due to the distance, the overall layout of the maze can't be seen clearly, let alone those hidden the ground under the shadow of the short wall.

I rubbed the space between my brows annoyed, and turned to ask Xiaoqian about the things before the stone slab went up, hoping to find some clues in our actions.It's a pity that we were in a very bad state just now. Not only were we extremely nervous, but we were also extremely tired physically. It was impossible to notice too many details.At this moment, he suddenly planned to think back, but he didn't remember anything except fighting and running away.

Almost all the attempts have run into a dead end. No matter how hard we scramble left and right, we can't find a way out, just like what we just encountered in the maze.However, just when I was about to give up working on the slate.When he turned to look for a way out in the corridor, Xiaoqian beside him suddenly pointed at the stone slab and widened his eyes.Shouted: "Color! It's color!"

I couldn't help being startled when I heard the words, and subconsciously asked, "What color?"

"The color of the slate!"

"This color...there is no difference..." I took a closer look at the stone slab, and found that its color was no different from the broken bridge under our feet.Then he turned his head and looked at the ground of the corridor, but he couldn't find any difference in color between the two.

"It's not with here, it's with the ground below." Xiaoqian rubbed the space between her brows, and continued: "When I just entered that maze, I also took a closer look at the short wall and the ground while observing the layout. I remember the The design is very confusing, both the wall and the ground are the same color. It is a kind of reddish earthy yellow, almost no difference at all. But look at this slate. Its color is the same as the ground here It is relatively similar, although it is also yellow, but it is a bit whitish, much lighter than the ground in the maze.”[

I didn't speak, I just frowned and thought hard.I don't have any doubts about the color difference that Xiaoqian said.Her professional habits influenced her deeply.Especially when it comes to observing ancient buildings, her grasp of details has almost become an instinct of hers, so what she said is basically the truth.However, I'm not sure whether this difference is the standard that distinguishes this kind of slab that can be raised from ordinary ground.Even if this standard is correct, but under the dim red light of the maze.Can such a small color difference be seen?Also, even if such a stone slab can be clearly found, will it be able to rise just by stepping on it?Or do you need other conditions?All of this is obviously unknown, but this unknown can affect the life and death of teammates.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still haven't been able to find out the answers to these questions.But the gunshots and shouts under his feet never stopped.Constantly reminding me of the urgency of the situation.I even heard a few grenades exploding, and this violent noise probably made me even more anxious.I knew I couldn't hesitate any longer.Whether our guess is right or not, my only option now is to tell my teammates about it, and the rest is just luck.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly lay down on the edge of the broken bridge, shouted out our discovery in the simplest language with all my strength, and repeated it many times, until my voice was too hoarse to continue. .I don't know if my teammates heard my roar, and I don't know if they can find this kind of stone slab under the siege of mural stone monsters, and of course I don't know if every piece of this kind of stone slab is useful.No matter how anxious we are, the only thing we can do now is to wait.

The footsteps of time kept stepping on me, getting heavier and heavier, almost stomping my internal organs to pieces.The gunshots under my feet still sounded from time to time, and every sound pierced my eardrums like a sharp sword, piercing my brain straight, causing the veins on my forehead to twitch.Xiaoqian next to me slowly leaned on my body, her body was getting colder and her face was getting paler, and there was a touch of blood on her small lips, which looked extraordinarily beautiful.We dare not speak, dare not speculate, for fear that if we open our mouths, we will spit out the bad news we fear.

Wait, be patient, wait, be patient...

I kept chanting silently in my heart, trying to suppress the surging sadness.However, this kind of suppression is getting harder and harder, and the last line of defense has almost collapsed.

I jumped up and pulled Xiaoqian back.I decided not to wait any longer, but to find a way to go down in the corridor, and go back to the maze to save my teammates, even if...

"call!"

A violent wind suddenly sounded behind him, as if something jumped up from under his feet.I hurriedly turned around to look, only to see a huge black shadow flying past us and heading straight into the sky.A few seconds later, the black shadow stopped after a crisp sound, and was firmly connected to a broken bridge.

It's slate!Someone made it, who?

I hurriedly yelled towards the stone slab above my head. Although my voice was already hoarse and hard to distinguish, I thought I should be able to hear it only two floors away.

A response quickly appeared on the stone slab, and at the same time, three blurred figures became clear in sight.

"It's Miss Xiaoyu! There's also Third Brother and Kanaguli!" Xiaoqian cried happily, and couldn't help waving her arms at them, with tears of excitement overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

I wiped the corners of her eyes with my hand, and grinned a few times, but the hoarse voice sounded like she was howling.

Seeing this, Xiaoqian couldn't help laughing through tears, and was about to say something just now, but suddenly choked up, and her big eyes widened instantly.At the same time, my ears heard two winds coming one after another, and I was overjoyed. I hurriedly turned around and saw two huge shadows jumping up from under my feet. [

The speeds of these two shadows are not the same, one is slightly faster, and the wind noise it brings out is also louder.The other one is a little slower, and the wind noise is relatively small.I don't know what determines the rise of the stone slabs, but the difference in speed clearly determines the difference in their rising positions.Sure enough, the two stone slabs stopped steadily after a few seconds, and the faster one passed our position, even many floors higher than Yan Daojie and the others.The slower stone slab stopped at the floor under our feet, just opposite to us.

Just one layer of distance does not affect the clarity of sight. As soon as the stone slab under my feet stopped, I saw three figures in red robes. They were Uncle Carter and an Ilias warrior. There is also Lan Wu in the same red robe.However, the stone slab that is far beyond where we are is troublesome. Xiaoqian and Yan Daojie on the other slate shouted for a long time before hearing some vague responses from that slate. , appears to be Arslan and another warrior of Elias.

Counting our own slab, this floating slab has risen four.I calculated silently, and the number of people in the team who have escaped from the maze is exactly ten people.Two Ilias fighters died in the maze just now, so there is only one team member who still has not escaped from the maze.

I sat on the ground and listened carefully to the sound of my feet.However, I waited for a long time, not only did the whistling wind sound not appear again, but I didn't even hear the slightest sound, as if there was no one in the maze.

Is it...

The extreme silence immediately gave me a very bad premonition, before I could think about it.Uncle Carter yelled at me, telling me that one of their soldiers had died in the battle just now. Obviously, he had already calculated the number of people from the communication just now, and he also knew what I was waiting for. .

I sighed, and a burst of irritability suddenly popped up in my heart.The passing of one life after another made my chest extremely tight, like a bomb that was expanding.Naturally, I hate the blood disciples who caused all this, and secretly vowed to make them pay with blood.However, the most important issue at this moment is to bring the team together, whether it is to pursue the blood disciples or eliminate the demon girl, it is obviously safer to gather the strength of everyone.

I stood up and looked around carefully, and suddenly found that this kind of broken bridge extending into the air must not intersect. It seems that if you want to meet in one place, you can only find a way from the corridor.Going down is naturally impossible. Although I don't know the structure between this corridor and the maze, no one can guarantee that the group of stone monsters will not come up, which is obviously too risky.As a result, our only option is to move upwards.

Our current situation is very primitive, communication can only rely on roaring.It's a pity that my voice can only speak in a low voice now, but I can't shout, so I had to tell Xiaoqian what I thought, and then let her shout to the team members.Everyone exchanged a few words in this primitive way, and finally set the meeting place at the top of the corridor.After a brief rest, we set off at the same time and started exploring the corridors separately.
