Tomb Raider: Invincible Double Pupil, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 226 Are there any mechanisms in the maze?

Xu Feng released his spiritual sense to explore the traps and said, "Before you see it with your own eyes, everything is possible. The creativity of the ancients is sometimes really beyond common sense. They can always create unexpected surprises within your cognition."

"That's true! From ancient times to the present, haven't the ancients created enough miracles?"

Old Hu said with emotion: "The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Terracotta Warriors, the Lingyun Giant Buddha, the Longmen Grottoes, the Great Glazed Pagoda... which one is not a miracle in the history of human architecture."

"There are also the nine-story demon tower we saw before, the huge bronze door in Sun En's tomb, and the coffin mountain."

“Never underestimate the ancients.”

The fat man said excitedly: "In other words, Qin Shihuang really built an underground city?!"

Just at this time.

They reached the exit of the passage.

However, it was pitch black outside the passage, and even if they had a powerful flashlight, the farthest distance they could see was no more than three meters.

"It's so dark, we can't see anything, how can we get going?"

The fat man grumbled.

Xu Feng took the flashlight and shone it around, and suddenly found lights hanging on the walls on both sides of the passage.

He waved his hand for the fat man to come forward and take a look.

The fat man, like a curious baby, dipped his finger in some and put it in his mouth to taste it, then spat and said, "Damn, this is full of greasy fat."

When Xu Feng heard this, his heart moved.

He took out his lighter and held it close to the lamp.

boom!
A ball of emerald green flame shot straight up into the sky!

As Xu Feng moved the lighter closer to the lamp.

boom!
A ball of emerald green flame shot straight up into the sky!

A green flame instantly ignited in the lamp.

Then, accompanied by the sound of countless sparks, oil lamps on the wall lit up one after another.

Soon, several passages built with blue bricks appeared in front of Xu Feng and others.

These passages were about as wide as two people standing shoulder to shoulder. The walls were probably made of light-absorbing stone. They were quiet and deep. Even if they shone a strong flashlight inside, they couldn't see very far.

Seeing this, the fat man sighed, "Before in the giant mosquito cave, there were three choices, and just now in the stone door, there were eight choices, and now there are seven passages again."

"Oh my god, why is it the same routine again? Can you change it up? Aren't you annoying?!"

Others were also speechless.

Xu Feng walked to the seven passages with a serious face and looked at them.

Meng Yi did not say much about the situation behind the stone gate, but only said that there was a city behind the stone gate.

I didn't expect that there would be such an episode.

He first looked at the lamps and found that there was an oil channel connected to the bottom of each lamp. It was these oil channels that were connected to each other that allowed all the lamps behind to be lit.

Very clever design.

I thought about it.

Xu Feng released his spiritual sense and explored the seven passages.

He didn't know how to use his spiritual sense before.

It will only disperse the spiritual consciousness.

It is the most basic and roughest usage.

Just now, Meng Yi taught him some methods of using spiritual sense. After Xu Feng learned it, he found that spiritual sense was of great significance. It was like carrying a detection radar with him, which could detect the movements around him at will.

However, his spiritual sense was still relatively weak, and could only detect a range of thirty meters in radius with him as the center. However, if he could focus his spiritual sense into a line and aim it in one direction, he could detect a distance of one hundred and twenty meters.

Even if there is a wall blocking it, it cannot stop the penetration of spiritual consciousness.

Unless the walls are too thick.

Xu Feng has been practicing along the way, and now he can use his spiritual sense more skillfully.

He sent his spiritual sense into the seven passages one by one.

The fat man came forward and asked, "Master Xu, which passage should we go to?!"

Xu Feng: “It’s hard to say.”

“It’s hard to say?!”

The fat man looked surprised: "What do you mean by hard to say?!"

Xu Feng's face was a little gloomy: "I didn't explore too far, but I feel like it's a maze inside, and it's a rotating maze."

"A rotating maze?!"

Zhang Rishan, Lao Hu, Zhang Qiling and others also gathered around.

"That's right!"

Xu Feng: "My spiritual sense has a limited detection range, so I can only roughly tell that there seems to be a circular maze inside, and there should be a huge mechanism under the maze that can make the maze above rotate, but it is not rotating as a whole, but like a loop, it is divided into several paths, and each loop rotates independently."

"For example, if the outermost circle rotates clockwise, the second circle inside rotates counterclockwise, the third circle rotates clockwise, and so on."

"In this way, the route of the maze will become extremely complicated, and it will be very easy to get into a dead end."

"If you go back the way you came, when you turn around, you won't be on the same path as you came before because of the rotation. In the end, you'll most likely be trapped in the maze and never be able to get out."

"So it's possible to reach the end through any channel here, but there may be only one correct path. You must wait until it rotates to the right time before you can move forward, otherwise you will end up in a dead end."

At this point, Xu Feng sighed: "Although what I saw is just the tip of the iceberg, this tip alone has already made me astonished. Such a huge design and craftsmanship, except for the workmanship of God, I really can't find any other adjectives to describe it."

The fat man suddenly became anxious: "Master Xu, are you still sighing?"

"Maze? Damn, I hate this kind of maze game the most. What should we do now? Can we still get through it?"

Zhang Rishan: "How about we go back to find General Meng and ask him how to get through this maze?"

Zhang Rishan: "How about we go back to find General Meng and ask him how to get through this maze?"

Xu Feng shook his head: "It's not necessary. It's just a maze. If I go back to him for help because of this, he will look down on me."

Zhang Rishan: "You can't put yourself in danger just for the sake of face, right?"

Xu Feng: "I'm not doing this for face, but for future considerations. Besides, with divine sense to explore the way, it's not difficult to get through this maze. What I'm worried about is that there are other traps in the maze."

They were all stunned.

"You mean, there are mechanisms inside the maze?!"

Xu Feng nodded.

The fat man immediately groaned again: "What the hell is this place? A rotating maze is disgusting enough, but there are even mechanical traps in the maze? How can a human get through this?!"

Old Hu was calmer: "Young Master Xu, can your divine sense detect the mechanism?"

Xu Feng shook his head: "It's difficult. To some extent, my spiritual sense is like a clairvoyance. I can see very far away. I can see obvious mechanisms, but I can't see some hidden mechanisms either."

Old Hu lowered his head and pondered: "A narrow environment like this is very suitable for designing mechanisms. Flames, quicksand, pits, rolling stones, crossbows, poisonous insects... It is indeed very troublesome."

After hearing what Lao Hu said, everyone fell silent.

At this time, Xu Feng broke the silence: "Okay, everyone, don't be scared. We have gone through so many hardships and obstacles, and have seen all kinds of dangers. Are you scared by just some traps?"
