"Haha, it's just good luck." Xu Ziyan laughed, but his heart was already on guard.
The reason why he took out this map is also a test for Tianle. After all, Tianle is just a snake, not a fool. He will definitely find some clues when he walks through the maze for a while. come out. If Tianle has any bad thoughts, he can also make some preparations.
"Well... luck is really good." Tian Le touched his chin, rolled his eyes and said, "Well, since fellow Daoist Xu has a map in his hand, I can't take advantage of you for nothing. Why don't we work together."
"Oh? What kind of cooperation method?" Xu Ziyan smiled lightly.
The slyness flashed in Tian Le's eyes, he slowly turned through the Qiankun bag, and then took out, one, two, three, four, five keys...
Xu Ziyan:…
Hehe, why are these five keys so familiar? It's exactly the same as the one that Ao Yuanqing gave me except for the color difference!
fall! Is the treasure room key already in one hand
After thinking for a while, Xu Ziyan also took out the key that Ao Yuanqing gave him, and gestured to Tianle: "If you want to divide it equally, it's not enough."
Tianle's heart moved when he saw that Xu Ziyan also had a key. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes became more cautious when he looked at Xu Ziyan.
Xu Zirong's figure flashed, blocking Tianle's face, her fingertips gleaming with blood, making it clear that if Tianle dared to do something, he would kill him mercilessly.
What about the patient? Can it be compared to a piece of my brother's hair!
Tianle: (╯‵*′)╯︵┻━┻ , can we still have a happy seizure together! Don’t you have a good patient for a lifetime
"Cough cough... Actually, I have a piece of news to share with you." Tian Le noticed that Xu Zirong's eyes faintly flashed with blood, and immediately adjusted the expression on his face, turning it into a serious look.
"Let's hear it." At this time, Xu Ziyan smiled like a fox. Now the two of them can be said to be restraining each other, but Tianle doesn't have a map after all, so what if he gets the key? What's the use of finding the secret room and asking for the key
"Do you know how many secret rooms are there in total?" Tian Le asked with a wink.
Xu Ziyan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know that. In the original novel, Bai Hua got the map and headed straight for the biggest secret room. He was trapped by Tianle halfway and almost died, and it took some time. After he opened the central secret room, the rock fragment world was about to close, so there was no chance to find any other secret rooms.
The novel didn't say that the original body had never explored this treasure, so Xu Ziyan naturally didn't know how many secret rooms there were in the world of broken rocks.
"The central secret room, one." Tian Le pointed to Xu Ziyan's map and stretched out a finger.
"There are six attached secret rooms. We were very lucky and just got all the keys." Tian Le smiled and shook the keys in his hand.
"Hidden secret room, one. It takes six keys of the annexed secret room to be combined to open it, which can open a mysterious treasure." When Tianle talked about the mysterious treasure, his eyes shone, as if he had seen countless spirit stones. emerge in front of him.
"How did you know so clearly?" Xu Ziyan asked suspiciously.
Tianle smiled: "My master is a ghost cultivator. Ghost cultivators are notoriously long-lived, and when he was cultivating before, he read a lot of ancient books because of boredom, and one of them mentioned this treasure. But at the time I didn't know when the treasure was opened, and I didn't have a map, otherwise it would have been hollowed out a long time ago. No, the key I collected with all my hard work is just waiting for the treasure to be opened this time."
Xu Ziyan silently praised Master Ghost Cultivator. Living for a long time is indeed beneficial. At the very least, he has read more books and learned more about secret realms.
"Thirty-seven points, we are seven, you are three, you can go if you agree." Xu Zirong interrupted Tianle's show off and said coldly.
Tian Le rolled his eyes and said, "Done!" He didn't suffer any loss either, his tone was wandering here alone, it would be better to follow Xu Ziyan, who has a map, to act together.
The two sides reached a consensus, and Xu Ziyan and Tianle consciously made an oath. Both sides are smart people, and in the absence of 100% trust, making an oath is the most reliable way to cooperate.
The central city of Shattered Rock World is actually a huge labyrinth, and this labyrinth is more complex and changeable than a normal labyrinth.
At first, the True Dragon Labyrinth could only be regarded as a flat labyrinth at most, but the central city of this fragmented rock world is a three-dimensional labyrinth covering both the above-ground and underground worlds.
In his novel, Xu Ziyan once marveled at the monk who built this labyrinth in those years, and will build a city into a complete labyrinth.
In this labyrinth, any room may hide a passage to other places, and the six subsidiary secret rooms are also hidden in several different places on the ground and underground.
"Well, the entrance to this place is the east gate on the ground. The fastest way to enter the central labyrinth from here is through this, this, and this passage." Xu Ziyan placed the map on a relatively flat boulder. , pointed to several hidden passages on the map and said.
"But like this kind of secret path, the internal organs are several times more than the external ones." Tian Le's expression also became serious. In those previous worlds, with his cultivation in the Nascent Soul period, as long as he was careful, there would be no life. Dangerous, but once he entered the central city, under the combined action of those organs and monsters, even he was in danger of falling at any time, so he couldn't help but be serious.
"Yes, the map also indicates that there are traps here, but the map doesn't explain what the traps are. Only by looking at them can we know." Xu Ziyan said solemnly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go." Tian Le raised his eyebrows and said. "The colors of the traps marked in these three passages are different. The sooner we see them, the better. Don't forget, in addition to the central secret room, we also need to spend time looking for other secret rooms."
Xu Ziyan nodded, the map also seemed to have his limitations, and only a part of the terrain could be shown at a time. According to Xu Ziyan's inference, the content of this piece of land is about a quarter of the central city. That is to say, the entire central city is cut into eight fan shapes, four above ground and four underground, respectively. Spread to both sides with the central secret room and the entrance gate as the center line.
Only after entering this sector can the map be activated, otherwise they simply won't get the rest of the map.
"Since everyone has nothing to say, let's go." Xu Ziyan put away the map and walked towards the intersection ahead.
According to the instructions on the map, the secret realm they want to enter should be in one of the houses on the next street, but it is also marked on the map, and there are green trap-type markers on both sides of the house.
For the first part of the road, the three of them walked fairly smoothly, but the more they walked, the heavier their hearts became. In an empty city, there are many shops on both sides of the street, as if you can still see the prosperity of the day, but at this time, there is no sound here, only the rustling footsteps of three people echo on both sides of the street.
"It's really uncomfortable here." Tian Le's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help reaching out to give his neckline.
To say that as a snake spirit disease, he really rarely has any heavy thoughts, but for some reason, after entering this huge maze, he feels inexplicably depressed and irritable.
"It's really uncomfortable. It feels as if some people have lived here, but now, when I look at it, these people seem to have disappeared in an instant." Xu Ziyan looked at the streets on both sides and frowned.
Xu Zirong looked around silently. The surrounding environment was no different from that of ordinary cities. The most surprising thing was that many of the shops even had living things that were sold at that time.
Of course, after so many years of wind and frost, these things have long been rotten, and even some spiritual stones have completely dissipated their spiritual energy and become a pile of slag.
Obviously, Xu Ziyan is not the first person to notice this situation. In some shops, there are obvious traces of being rummaged, but those traces are also left a long time ago. When the rock world opened, the monks who entered here did a good job.
"Look!" Xu Ziyan pointed to a courtyard in the alley.
They were standing at a good angle, and they happened to see a house living in the alley. It was a small courtyard. It was obvious that the people living in it were definitely not rich and noble. There is a dining table in the center of the courtyard, and there are three bamboo chairs around it.
There was even a pile of ashes scattered on the dining table. Xu Ziyan took a closer look. If he guessed correctly, the owner of this small courtyard should be eating at that time. Not knowing what happened, the owner left in a hurry. Even the food on the table was too late to clean up.
"It's really weird, why do I feel like my master is staring at me from behind..." Tian Le subconsciously shivered and looked around suspiciously.
He didn't find any abnormality in his consciousness, but he was always teased by his elusive ghost cultivator since he was a child, and he had already developed a keenness far beyond ordinary people - or, intuition
Even though he didn't find anything in his consciousness, he had a faint feeling that he was being watched.
"Let's go, no matter what happened here, it happened thousands of years ago. We are not here to understand confusion, but to hunt for treasure." Xu Ziyan glanced at the picture that turned into dust when he touched it. Wooden table, suppressed the weird feeling in my heart and said.
Xu Zirong followed closely behind his brother and walked out of the small courtyard. Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and looked at him—
The small courtyard was empty, and there was not a single person. In his spiritual investigation, there was no trace of living creatures here.
After everyone left, a breeze blew from somewhere, and there seemed to be a sigh mixed in the wind...
