Chapter 345: Unbelievably weird

the cave

"My lord, there is no way?" Fan Kenos stared at the revolving steps in a daze.

The first magic door was not far away. He walked up and tried it with the dagger in his hand. There was a "Zi La" stabbing sound, and a shallow scratch appeared on the smooth magic door, and then the scratch slowly changed. Shallow, after three seconds, the scratches completely disappeared.

"This door is not too strong. It is not a problem for me to break through them, but there are too many of them."

He estimated that he could break through 5, 10, and 20 leaves strongly, but 50 leaves would have to make him tired.

Link also had a headache.

The reason is very simple, because the space in this revolving staircase is very abnormal. After many clever foldings, only one of these doors is the correct exit, and the position of the correct exit door is not fixed. , it will randomly appear among these 50 doors.

In the previous game, Link came to the game more than 100 times, and every door used to be a fixed exit. As players, their only means is to gamble on luck.

Break down one door after another, go in and check the specific situation, until you reach the correct exit.

When luck is good, the first door is the exit. If you are unlucky, you will go all the way to the fiftieth door. It is really crying, and some players even stay in this ghost place for a whole week.

Link had good luck in his previous life, and with some tricks, he can usually find the correct exit within 5 doors, but that was a game, and now it is reality, and Link doesn't know whether his skills are useful or not.

Of course, the most important thing now is to open the door.

Although it is feasible to break through the door violently, the level of these magic doors is around the peak of level 6, which consumes too much energy and is not advisable. Fortunately, Link has long been prepared.

He took out the dark red crystal claw blade of the previous ghost assassin, modified it with the transformation technique, and turned it into a small crystal stick with a length of 20 centimeters and a diameter of 2 centimeters.

Holding the stick, Link walked around the first magic door and searched carefully on the wall next to the door. After about a minute, he found a small stone crack about one centimeter long on the stone wall.

'I found it, it's exactly the same as in the game! ’ Link was overjoyed, took out his wand, and pointed lightly at the crack in the stone: "Cleaning technique!"

A faint radiance shrouded it, like a whisk, gently cleaning away the dust and gravel around and inside the stone crevices, and finally revealed a hole with a diameter of 2 cm, which was exactly the same size as the crystal stick in Link's hand.

Link inserted the stick into the hole and began to inject magic energy into the stick, explaining at the same time: "This should be the keyhole of Might and Magic, the key transformed from the ghost assassin's claw blade will not cause the power of Might and Magic to repel... Wait, The location is wrong."

He gently pulled out the crystal stick, and then continued to input mana detection. About three seconds later, Link gently pushed the crystal stick in slowly, millimeter by millimeter, and the distance was about 3mm. Finally, there was a light 'click' sound inside the hole.

"It's in place." Fankenos, who was on the side, also heard the voice, and his face showed joy.

Link activated the magic again, transforming the crystal stick bit by bit, making it fit the lockstone structure in the hole. After about 10 seconds, Link turned the stick lightly, '嗡~嗡~嗡', the hole The magic door next to it made a soft sound, and after about ten seconds, the magic door turned into a light spot and disappeared.

"The door is open!" Malinda the Job clapped her hands and smiled, she looked at Link adoringly.

"Tch~ it's rare and strange." The black cat glanced contemptuously at the cheering Job people, then changed its posture and continued to curl up, with a laid-back look that had nothing to do with me.

"Fankenos, explore the way!"

"Okay." This guy charged forward again with his dagger horizontally. After he walked in for a while, he said, "Come in, it's safe inside... But the situation is a bit strange, we seem to have been here before."

A group of people followed in. Link took a look and sighed: "Let's go, this door is an entrance to a circulation space, not an exit. Let's go forward."

The location they were in was exactly the same as the entrance of the door of lies, which was equivalent to a portal in the stairs. They stepped into the portal and returned to the entrance.

"Lord, why don't we go back?" Fan Kenos asked strangely.

Link pointed behind him: "Are you sure you want to go back?"

Fankenos walked to the door behind him and looked at it. He was startled and trembling. The place where they walked in was still the steps, but now it turned into a bottomless pit. , The strength of the wind was still very strong, Fankenuosi didn't pay attention, and was blown so that his footing was unstable, and his body floated up. Looking at the situation, the wind was going to blow him down.

Nana hastily stretched out her hand to give him a hand, pulling him back.

After standing firmly again, Fan Kenos felt that he was trembling even to breathe, and his legs were even weaker, and he could hardly stand.

Link picked up a stone from the ground and threw it out of the hole. One second, two seconds... After waiting for more than a minute, suddenly there was a "boom" flame rushing up from the bottomless hole. The flame was light blue Yes, the temperature was extremely high, and when Fankenos stood a little closer, he felt burning pain all over his face, and he had to break out his fighting spirit to resist.

"So scary?" Fan Kenos swallowed. It took a minute for the stone to fall to the bottom, there was a violent gust of wind, and there was an explosive flame at the bottom of this level that was at least level 8. If you quit, you will not die.

"This is a one-way circulation space, there is no retreat."

Fankenos asked recklessly: "What is a one-way circulation space?"

Before Link could answer, the black cat uttered again: "Mortal, save your poor head the effort and let it live for a few more years. You won't understand it even if you say it."

Link spread his hands and asked: "You have seen the general situation, that is, we can only walk in one direction, and walk through the space we have traveled through. As for the specific principle, are you sure you want to hear it?"

Link understands this principle. He can even create this kind of one-way circulation space. It is not difficult to decipher this space, but there is a big problem.

The one-way circulation space in front of me has a 'dead point', that is to say, once it is cracked, after the space collapses, everyone in the space is very likely to be teleported to the 'dead point', that is, behind into this bottomless pit of flame.

Judging from the situation just now, the power in the dead center is extremely terrifying, and their chances of surviving are not high.

Therefore, Link decided to proceed honestly and follow the established space rules, anyway, he can get out from here.

Fankenos didn't believe in evil: "You tell me, I'll listen."

Link began to say: "That's right, the one-way cycle doesn't really exist. The reason for the one-way cycle is because of the existence of the 'dead point', which is its magic transformation formula..."

After hearing this sentence, Fankenos knew that he was looking for abuse: "My lord, I know I was wrong, forget it, I won't listen."

"Then keep going."

Looking at the magic energy formula slowly disappearing in the air, Fankenos heaved a sigh of relief and continued to lead the way.

After a group of people walked along the familiar road for more than 300 meters, a downward spiral staircase appeared in front of them, and there were 50 doors on the stone walls around the staircase. The scene was exactly the same as before.

"We're back again." Link said.

"But didn't we just open the first door? The door here is closed." Fankenos felt physically and mentally exhausted. This place is really too weird, almost beyond the limit of his comprehension.

This time Malinda discovered the details. She pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "It is indeed walking back. Look, there are still our footprints here."

Fankenos looked at the footprints, he sighed a long time, and gave up thinking about why this happened, anyway, he couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought about it, this kind of brain-consuming work, just leave it to the magician.

"My lord, what should we do now? Should we continue to open the second door?" Fankenos asked.

When he was talking, he felt like an idiot who didn't understand anything, especially the black cat, who always glanced at him like an ant. Even he himself began to doubt himself.

Link shook his head: "No, it's still the first door."

"Didn't it mean that the first door is already a one-way circulation space? Didn't we go in and then go back?" Fankenos was puzzled, and Malinda on the side also looked at Link.

"The situation has changed." Link shook his head: "This door is brand new. Let me put it this way, the first door in front of you is actually not the same door as the first door we just opened You have to know that the door is a connection point in space, and this connection point can be combined at will... Forget it, just follow me."

Apart from him, Nana was not interested in all this at all, she just looked at the situation in the cave curiously. Malinda and Fankenos couldn't understand even if I told them, and the black cat didn't need him to explain it at all, so it didn't make any sense for him to explain the principle.

As for why you still have to open the first door, this is the skill that Link summed up in the previous game.

This may be a preference of the designer of this folding space, the door number of this real exit has a strange pattern.

If the first opened door is a one-way cycle door, then after returning again, the door number of the real exit has a very high probability in the form of the Fibonacci sequence (specifically, what is the Fibonacci sequence, please Self-arranged by Baidu).

If the door number is 1, then after coming back for the second time, the exit may be 1, or it may be 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc., according to the door number, try one by one, no more than 6 times, There will definitely be an exit.

Link had brushed 'The Sorrow of the Night King' more than a hundred times in his previous life, and he never missed this rule.

Once again, I found the keyhole in the first door, inserted the ready-made key directly, twisted it, and with a 'click' sound, the magic door disappeared again, and Fankenos was still the first to enter.

After entering, he sighed: "My lord, we are back again."

"Then continue!" Link was not discouraged. As long as the second time is a one-way loop door instead of an inexplicable monster space, it means that they are on the right path.

Walking to the door of the circular staircase again, Link opened the second magic door this time.

This time I got familiar with it, and quickly adjusted the shape of the key. When I twisted the key, there was a sound of 'buzz~', and the magic door disappeared, and a group of people walked in again.

As soon as he walked in, Fankenos sighed again: "It's back again."

Link looked carefully for a while, then shook his head: "No, it's different this time, look behind us."

Everyone turned around to look, and found that behind them was not the stair space they entered before, nor was it a bottomless pit of flames, but a very bright passage.

The stone walls on both sides of the cave have become very smooth. At first glance, they have been carefully polished. On the stone walls, there is a magic lamp every 10 meters. You can see that there is a very bright hall at the end of the passage. The scenery that emerges is enough to be described as resplendent.

"Exit?!" Fan Kennuo suddenly became excited and was about to run over.

"Wait, be careful!" Link immediately called out to stop him. After Fankenos stood still in doubt, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the exit. The moment the stone passed through the magic gate , "嗤啦" sounded softly, and the stone was cut into more than a dozen pieces at once, and each piece was less than one millimeter thick.

Fankenuosi's face immediately turned white, and the passage looked completely empty. How could such a deadly trap be hidden? It's simply terrifying!

"It's a space cutting thin line, look carefully, is there something?" Link reminded.

Fankenos calmed down and observed carefully for a few minutes before he nodded: "It is a little different, but it is too hidden."

He was very happy when he found the exit just now. Once his mood fluctuated, he would not care about such a small trace at all. If Link didn't call him to stop him, he would run over happily, and he would not be Fankenos at this moment. It's Fankenuosi meat slices.

"Then how to crack it..."

Before Fankenos finished speaking, there was a bang from the passage in front of him, and then, the exit they had finally found collapsed and disappeared, revealing a broken passage, which was the original lie The location of the door.

In this passageway, a black figure covered in black air and blood-colored eyes stood there, shouting angrily: "Lies! It's all lies! Damn Might and Magic! You lied to me!"

When he saw Link and the others, his anger disappeared immediately, and he laughed loudly instead: "Hahahaha, it seems that I came at the right time!"

Link and the others looked at each other, Fankenos wanted to kill and this bastard, they finally found the exit, and they just didn't fall.

But the reality is cruel, this demon is very powerful, not to mention Fankenos, even Link can't fight him!

Link whispered: "The great demon at level 9 is a fallen angel. He is very powerful. He is not an opponent. Back off."
