"Nonsense! We believe in GC doctrine, not a monster!"

Huang Bin yelled: "Old feudal thoughts won't work here!"

"Huang Bin! If you can't control your emotions, then immediately quit me now! The unity the team needs is not a quarrel!"

Professor Liu finally started the fire, and he scolded his students loudly.

"Teacher... I... I... Ugh!!!"

Huang Bin stomped his foot and sat angrily on the ground of the tunnel.

"Comrade Huang Bin, I wonder if some of us have unintentionally committed the crime? I hope you can tell me that if there is any misunderstanding, it will affect this rescue operation!"

Weizard took this opportunity to ask, hoping that Huang Bin can speak frankly.

Huang Bin looked at Weizede angrily. He jumped up again, pointed his finger at him and said sharply: "Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding between us! If Koyanagi has a long time and two shortcomings, I... I will never end with you!"

"Liu Ru?"

"Girl Liu?"

Weizard and Professor Liu looked at each other. What does this have to do with Liu Ru

Huang Bin quickly explained: "If it hadn't been for the ancient sheepskin scrolls you found in Lop Nor, there wouldn't be this archeological expedition, and Xiaoyan would not end up unclear about her life or death!"

"The ancient sheepskin scroll I found?"

Weizard did not react for a while.

Professor Liu suddenly realized that he shook his head and said, "Xiao Bin, you can’t blame Xiao Ning! Even if there is no this expedition, what about next time? Our archaeological expedition will always encounter various unpredictable dangers, you Can you blame others for everything? Besides, Xiao Ning is the daughter of Liu Yatou, and he is also worried about this situation..."

"If you think, girl Liu still I recommend her to lead the team! Should I, an old man, also take the main responsibility?"

Huang Bin waved his hands again and again: "Teacher, how can you blame you? It's him..."

Hearing this, Weizard finally understood that this Huang Bin should be in a crush on Liu Ru, so he was so gloomy after Liu Ru disappeared!

"I didn't expect it! The identity assigned to me by the system would be so troublesome..."

Anyway, after understanding Huang Bin's inexplicable hostility, Wei Zede secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a good thing to be thought of after all!

After resolving the contradiction, everyone can finally focus all their energy on the "ghost retaining wall".

Professor Liu analyzed and said: "Don't panic, everyone! With so many talented soldiers, we will certainly not be trapped here! But if we want to get out of trouble, we still need to add up."

Lin Pengyi first said: "Actually, I noticed that something was wrong after I noticed the weird behavior of Captain Zheng, so I used special phosphors and quietly made a mark on the wall. Every fifteen minutes during the journey, the team will pass this mark! I am worried that everyone will consume their energy in vain and have not held it back for a while. This is how the situation is revealed!"

He looked at everyone again: "Since Captain Zheng has already discovered this situation, they think they have a countermeasure..."

When Lin Pengyi finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Captain Zheng Hongzhi.

Captain Zheng shook his head: "Comrade Wei first discovered the fact that the team is spinning around. Let's listen to his opinion."

"Old fox!"

Weizard raised a middle finger towards Captain Zheng in his heart, but on the surface it was calm.

"The first thing to explain to everyone is that the'ghost retaining wall' we encountered is just a trapped mechanism designed by the ancients. According to the data recorded in some ancient books, this mechanism is called the'ecstasy'. !"

"'Ecstasy'? The name panicked as soon as I heard it!"

"What's the use of this mechanism?"

"It sounds mysterious!"

"..."

The group said mixedly.

"Xiaoning, what you said is'Escraculous Dao', but the'hanging soul ladder' mentioned in ancient books?" Professor Liu suddenly asked: "Its role should be to create an illusion, can't you find the right direction? "

"Yes, it's the'Hanging Soul Ladder'! Its design principle has been lost for thousands of years. I didn't expect us to encounter it here... It seems that this legendary'Da Xianbei Mountain' is really hard to find! No, we have just set off, and we are just a bit off the beaten track!"

Weizard smiled: "The journey ahead will definitely be difficult and perilous! Everyone must be mentally prepared..."

"Huh! Even this'hanging soul ladder' didn't even go out, still thinking about the future? Groundless worry!"

Hearing Huang Bin's words, Professor Liu could only shook his head with a wry smile. He had no tricks for this student.

Weizard glanced at Huang Bin and ignored him.

"On the road just now, I have tried several methods... Although it hasn't been effective, there are also some eyebrows! The'hanging soul ladder' here is not according to the'twenty-three steps' recorded in ancient books, but The two principles are the same!"

Pointing to the tunnel ahead, Weizard explained: "Although this tunnel looks straight forward, it is not the case! This tunnel has slopes and curvatures... Although the slopes and curvatures are so gentle that you can’t notice it, It really exists!"

"This kind of mechanism is so ingeniously designed, using the illusion of human senses, and adding some small methods, it will make us go around in the'eight tunnels'! And then completely lose the sense of direction and become a kind of encounter. The illusion of a'ghost retaining wall'..."

"Eight tunnels?"

Everyone was very surprised by Weizard's statement. Who would have thought that the route the team walked would be "eight" very similar tunnels

"That's right! The eight tunnels are arranged in the way of'Dui, Li, Gen, Xun, Hu, Zhen, Kun' Yin gossip. I have determined this on the road just now!"

Weizard said confidently: "The reason for taking everyone on the road is to find a'node'! Once we find it, we can walk out of this'hanging soul ladder'..."

Looking at everyone, Professor Liu said in a slightly tired voice: "Since Xiao Ning has a clue, we are all working hard! Go out in one breath and rest..."

Under the sign of Captain Zheng, the team was temporarily handed over to Weizard to lead the way.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Weizard took out a torch from the backpack he was carrying and lit it.

"Comrade Wei, why don't you use the "wolf eye" issued by the team? If you think the light is not bright enough, we can turn it all on. There is no need to use torches for lighting, right?"

Captain Zheng asked suspiciously, and the others nodded in agreement.

Weizard had to explain again: "It is not that the brightness of the lighting is not enough, but that I need to use the state of the torch to determine the location of the'node'. That place must be the place where the air convection is the strongest. The flame is on the torch. The direction can be more easily determined."

"That's it! I said that some folk explorers must prepare torches when they are exploring. It turns out that there are such uses..."

Lin Pengyi praised: "It seems that Wei Sanye's adventure experience is quite rich!"

Weizard smiled again: "The use of torches is more than that, such as dispersing mosquitoes and beasts, testing the concentration of oxygen in the air, and some special places where torches are also needed for warning! Like some environments with poisonous gas and miasma, The color of the flame burning on the torch will change, which will send the most timely warning to our safety."

And in his heart, Weizard thought to himself: "If you encounter some spiritual things, this torch will also change..."

"Don't you smell'people light candles, ghosts blow lamps'?"
