Chapter 875
Feeling Xia Ruofei's strong embrace, Song Wei blushed a little, but Xia Ruofei quickly let go of her hand after helping her stabilize her body, which made Song Wei feel a little disappointed.
"Are you OK?"
Xia Ruofei's concerned voice came from Song Wei's earphones.
Only then did she come back to her senses and said quickly, "It's okay! Where are we going?"
This is a long passage. There are statues on both sides of the passage. Under the illumination of the flashlight, they look like monsters. Rao is Song Wei, who majors in archaeology. She is much more courageous than ordinary girls. Hairy, subconsciously approached Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei looked to both sides with the flashlight, and faintly felt that the corridor was full of gloomy atmosphere.
The location where they came in is just in the middle of the corridor, with dark holes on both ends, and they don't know where to go.
However, Xia Ruofei also has a basic basis for judgment, which is to sense jade leaves.
However, the change of the induction jade leaves in a short distance will not be too obvious, so Xia Ruofei can only go in one direction first. If he is lucky, the induction jade leaves react more and more violently, it means that he has chosen the right direction, and vice versa Need to fold back.
So, Xia Ruofei said, "Let's go in any direction first!"
Xia Ruofei and Song Wei walked side by side, carefully walking in one direction.
In this empty and silent underground palace, the footsteps of the two of them were particularly loud, and it sounded a bit intimidating. Song Wei couldn't help but grab Xia Ruofei's clothes, not daring to step behind.
Xia Ruofei turned to look, smiled and asked, "Song Wei, are you afraid?"
Song Wei was clearly trembling in her heart, but she still said stubbornly: "Cut...you forgot what major I studied? How dare a timid person enter this industry?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Then can you pull a little lighter? I'm afraid you will tear my clothes..."
Song Wei suddenly let go of her hand in embarrassment, but she quickly took Xia Ruofei's arm again. Fortunately, the gas mask covered her expression, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
This passage seems to be very long. The two advanced nearly 100 meters, and there is still no sign of turning, as if it will continue forever.
Xia Ruofei suddenly stopped,
Song Wei asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"We may have gone in the wrong direction." Xia Ruofei said, "Turn back!"
After walking so far, not only did the heat of the induction jade leaf not increase, but it also decreased slightly. Xia Ruofei knew that he was farther away from the boundary stone, so he did not hesitate to change his direction.
"It's your intuition again?" Song Wei asked with a smile.
"It turns out that my intuition is still very accurate!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
The two turned around and moved towards the other side.
Soon they reached the position they had just entered. Seeing the rope hanging down from the entrance of the cave, Song Wei's heart was slightly more at ease.
As for how to climb up the distance of more than two meters, she is not worried at all. Anyway, with Xia Ruofei there, it must be no problem.
The two of them did not stop, they crossed the position just now and continued to move in the other direction.
In this direction, a fork in the road soon appeared.
Xia Ruofei still chose a direction by intuition. Of course, he also expected that the scale of this underground palace was very large, and this passage was immutable, so in order to prevent losing his way, he carved a mark with a military dagger at the fork in the road. .
The luck this time was better, and the reaction of sensing Yuye was much stronger than before, indicating that Xia Ruofei should have guessed the right direction.
As Xia Ruofei moved forward, he asked, "Song Wei, does the place you just walked through overlap with the area you entered for archaeology last time?"
Song Wei shook her head with certainty and said, "Absolutely not! We didn't find such a passage at the time."
"It seems that the scale of this underground palace is bigger than we thought!" Xia Ruofei said.
The two continued to go deeper, and they encountered many fork roads on the way. These fork roads all looked exactly the same, with a passage more than two meters high, with sculptures standing on both sides.
Xia Ruofei also relied on the guidance of sensing Yuye to constantly correct the route. Of course, he did not forget to mark every fork in the road carefully.
Along the way, the reaction of sensing Yuye became stronger and stronger, and Xia Ruofei also had some expectations and excitement in his heart.
If it has always been this kind of corridor, although walking in it is a bit infiltrating, it is not dangerous. If you keep going deeper like this, you will eventually be able to find the boundary stone.
Although Song Wei didn't know the real purpose of Xia Ruofei's trip, she didn't ask much, just followed Xia Ruofei closely. Every time Xia Ruofei determined or changed the route, she never asked the reason, it was Xia Ruofei's intuition.
However, Xia Ruofei suddenly stopped walking and his face became a little ugly.
Song Wei didn't know what to do, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Ruofei's voice was a little weird, and he said, "There may be trouble..."
Just now, Xia Qing, who had been paying attention to the outside world with his spiritual sense, suddenly sounded a warning, telling Xia Ruofei that there seemed to be a problem with this passage, and asked him to look back immediately to find the route he just came.
"What's the trouble?" Song Wei asked in a trembling voice.
"It's not clear, let's turn back first!" Xia Ruofei said.
The two turned around and walked to a fork in the road they had just passed before. Xia Ruofei immediately took a few flashes on the wall next to the statue with a flashlight, and his heart was slightly shocked.
The markings he had previously made at this location are gone.
Song Wei obviously found this too, her face was slightly pale, and her heart was even more troubled.
The two also searched for the other two roads at the fork, but did not leave any traces.
Could this mark disappear on its own? Or did someone clear it in the back?
Either way, it will make the hair stand upright.
Without those markers, the two would most likely be lost in this intricate underground palace.
Xia Ruofei's face was a little ugly, and he communicated with Xia Qing with his spiritual sense: "What is the situation?"
"Master, there may be a formation in this underground palace." Xia Qing analyzed, "The scope of these corridors is not as large as you feel, and it is very likely that you have been circling in place."
"Sleepy formation?" Xia Ruofei said.
"Yes!" Xia Qing said, "There is a great possibility, and you have to try to decipher it yourself."
Xia Ruofei frowned and said, "But the place we just came in has disappeared, which means that we are not in the same place!"
"Master punches a hole into the formation from the top, and that part will definitely be blocked by the formation." Xia Qing said, "Maybe that area is very close to you, but you will keep going around in another area. If you don't break the formation, It will never be possible to go back there."
This is also the reason why Xia Qing strongly suggested that Xia Ruofei obtain the Jade Talisman of the Earth Character. For a tomb of this size, and there are things in the cultivation world like the boundary stone, it is very likely that there are various formations.
"What should I do?" Song Wei's voice trembled.
As a student majoring in archaeology, she has naturally heard all kinds of supernatural stories in different versions. She, who has always prided herself on being daring, can't help but tremble when she encounters such a situation.
Xia Ruofei said calmly: "Don't be afraid, let's go back a little bit according to memory, maybe we can find the place where we just came in."
"That's the only way." Song Wei said helplessly.
The two walked back for a while, and found that the prompts that did not need to be marked could be seen, and the road was different from just now.
Where there was a fork, it became a straight passage.
Xia Ruofei also encountered such a situation for the first time. He forced himself to calm down and began to recall the knowledge of the formations he had learned.
Inferring from various characteristics, this is undoubtedly a trapped formation.
Since it is an array method, it must not be unsolvable. As long as the core of the array method is found, which is the so-called "array eye", many problems can be solved easily.
However, Xia Ruofei is not sure. After all, what he has mastered is theoretical knowledge, and he has not practiced it before, so this time he immediately rushed the ducks to the shelves.
But when things came to an end, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but flinch.
He took a deep breath and began to release his mental power, carefully feeling the changes in the surrounding aura.
Since it is a trapped formation, it is definitely impossible for the naked eye to find any clues, especially such a labyrinth-like corridor, which looks the same wherever it goes, and it is even more difficult to detect changes.
The mental power is different. It is much more sensitive than the human eye's perception, and it can often break through falsehoods.
Sure enough, after Xia Ruofei released his mental power, he immediately felt the subtle changes in the surrounding aura, and there seemed to be invisible mysterious lines lingering around his body.
Change is a good thing, if you are afraid of it, you will be afraid of a pool of stagnant water.
Xia Ruofei showed a hint of joy, and immediately began to analyze the lines.
The classics of the formation path in the jade talisman of the earth character are worthy of the top treasures of formation path. Gradually, in Xia Ruofei's eyes, this unchanging corridor seems to reveal its true face little by little.
A smile gradually appeared on his face.
However, Song Wei couldn't see Xia Ruofei's expression under the gas mask, she saw Xia Ruofei standing blankly in the same place, feeling a little strange and anxious at the same time, but she didn't dare to disturb Xia Ruofei.
At this moment, Xia Ruofei turned to Song Wei and said, "This way!"
After he finished speaking, he directly took Song Wei's hand and walked forward. Song Wei's heart was rambling, but he still held Xia Ruofei's hand tightly and did not shake it off.
In fact, Xia Ruofei was worried that Song Wei would fall into the formation after going wrong, and it would be more troublesome at that time, so she must be held tightly.
Not far in this direction, the corridor has a ninety-degree turn.
But Xia Ruofei didn't seem to see it, and went straight to the wall.
Song Wei couldn't help shouting, "Ruo Fei, you're going to hit the wall in front of you!"
Before Song Wei could finish speaking, Xia Ruofei had already slammed into the wall. Song Wei subconsciously fell behind half a step. Just when she was about to scream, she found that Xia Ruofei had passed through the wall directly, as if in front of her. Walls don't even exist.
And Xia Ruofei's hand was still holding her tightly. Except for this hand, other parts of Xia Ruofei's body were invisible. This scene was very strange.
Then Song Wei felt a pull coming, and she involuntarily rushed towards the wall.
Seeing the wall coming towards her face, Song Wei subconsciously closed her eyes.
However, the imagined pain of hitting the wall did not come, and it seemed that there was no obstacle.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that Xia Ruofei was holding her hand, and the two were standing in the corridor. Although it looked exactly the same corridor, there was no 90-degree turn, and the two were facing each other with their backs to each other. The wall seems to be pierced through the wall.
Song Wei was dumbfounded and asked in surprise, "Ruo Fei, this..."
"Just follow me!" Xia Ruofei showed a confident smile, "It's just a simple trick, I didn't pay attention to it just now, and I almost got it!"
Song Wei's heart is like the world is churning, and this so-called "obfuscation method" is too realistic.
Xia Ruofei has seen through the operation of this trapped formation, and then he led Song Wei forward quickly.
Although the reaction of sensing Yuye sometimes increased and sometimes weakened, Xia Ruofei ignored it - because the most urgent task now is to get out of this trap.
There seems to be no regularity in the route he travels. Sometimes it is a fork in the road, but Xia Ruofei turns in the direction where there is no road. Go through the wall; sometimes Xia Ruofei will go back for a while...
Song Wei is now numb, and she will go as Xia Ruofei takes her anyway.
As for whether it was a wall or a sculpture in front of her, she didn't care at all, because she passed through the wall without incident again and again.
After walking for about ten minutes, Song Wei saw a few bricks falling on the ground of the corridor in front, and a rope hanging down from the ceiling of the cave.
She was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed with joy, "Ruofei, we're out!"
After speaking, Song Wei ran quickly towards the front.
Xia Ruofei was also slightly relieved. Seeing this hole, it means that he has walked out of the trapped area. No matter whether he can get the boundary stone or not, at least it is not a problem to leave the ancient tomb.
However, when his mental power went forward, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Song Wei, stop! Come back!"
Under the detection of mental power, this corridor is still within the range of the trapped formation, and he also found a very dangerous aura...
However, the reminder seemed to be a little late, Song Wei had already run to the bottom of the hole at this time.
When her foot stepped on a tomb brick that had fallen before, the mutation suddenly occurred!
Hearing a sound of kakaka, Xia Ruofei's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Song Wei, get down!"
While reminding loudly, Xia Ruofei also turned his qi to the extreme, and swept towards Song Wei as fast as lightning.
shhhhhh...
A trembling sound of breaking the air sounded, and Xia Ruofei would swept to Song Wei's side, throwing her directly to the ground.
Almost at the same time, in the gap between the statues on both sides, feathered arrows shot out at a rapid rate, and a thudding sound rang out, and these feathered arrows were all deeply inserted into the opposite wall.
If the person was standing in place just now, he would have become a hedgehog at this time.
Song Wei was almost stunned, her face turned pale in an instant, and her delicate body couldn't help trembling...
