"Could it be that we have to go through the wall?" Jiang Cheng walked towards the wall pointed by the ruler in confusion, stretched out his hand and pushed the wall, trying to test its hardness. This time, Jiang Cheng finally saw a ray of clear light coming from the Qiming Star between his fingers, penetrating into the wall in front of him.
For a moment, the wall trembled slightly, shaking off a piece of dust, and Jiang Cheng was choked and retreated repeatedly. At the same time, Chu Xueying suddenly felt as if a needle had pricked her forehead. The pain reached deep into her brain. Her legs became weak and her body fell backwards uncontrollably. She was about to fall out of the corridor. This corridor is more than ten meters high from the ground. If you fall down, you will be severely disabled even if you fall down. Jiang Cheng happened to see it at this time, and in desperation, he quickly grabbed Chu Xueying, pulled her into his arms with all his strength.
Chu Xueying's pained expression receded slightly, and when she came back to her senses, she found Jiang Cheng's face drawn into her eyes. He was less than ten centimeters away from her. Chu Xueying suddenly panicked and tried to break free from Jiang Cheng's embrace. It seemed that because her body was too weak, her struggle had no effect at all, and she felt that Jiang Cheng seemed to be hugging her tighter.
"Don't move! You will fall!" Jiang Cheng's voice was so close to her ears that Chu Xueying could feel the hot breath coming from him.
Chu Xueying calmed down, finally noticed her dangerous situation, stopped struggling, and allowed Jiang Cheng to lead her to a relatively safe place.
After leaving Jiang Cheng's arms, Chu Xueying finally breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that her heart was beating like a deer. Sakura had never encountered such a situation before, and she couldn't adapt to it for a while. She could only turn around to avoid looking at Jiang Cheng.
Of course, Jiang Cheng didn't know Chu Xueying's inner activities, so he just asked with concern: "What happened to you just now?"
Chu Xueying did not answer, still facing Jiang Cheng.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Fortunately, Xu Dingjia shouted at this time: "Look at the wall!"
Jiang Cheng recalled that it was the Qiming Star that had triggered some changes in the wall, and he quickly turned to look at the wall.
The wall between them was no longer flat, but instead showed a shimmering pattern. Jiang Cheng looked at it carefully, his expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise, and said: "This... this seems to be a map of the ruins!"
Xu Dingjia also stepped forward to take a closer look. After a long time, he nodded and sighed: "Who would have thought that there would be a diagram of the internal structure of the ruins here! This further confirms our previous guess that this ruins is not just a tomb."
Chu Xueying calmed down her emotions at this time. She turned around and seemed to have discovered something. She pointed at a line on the map and said: "The door on the right seems to lead to the tomb. Look, there is a rectangular frame here. The humanoid sign. The tomb only occupies a small part of the ruins. There are many rooms behind the door on the left, and the patterns marked on them are also different. But at the end of this route, there seems to be a glowing crystal sign. Could this be the mysterious object Jiang Cheng mentioned?"
Jiang Cheng carefully recalled what he saw in the context of the ruins, and pondered: "That thing does shine... and its direction is consistent with the position of the sign on the map. Although I can't understand the text marked on it, but no If something unexpected happens, this will be our final destination.”
"In this case, we should take the door on the left!" Chu Xueying said and was about to set off, but found that Xu Dingjia was still staring at the map.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly?" Chu Xueying urged, "If you continue to be so slow, we won't be able to leave before midnight!"
But Xu Dingjia shook his head, keeping his eyes on the map, and murmured: "I'm not busy."
"Why don't you have any sense of time!" Chu Xueying was about to lose her temper again.
Xu Dingjia suddenly said: "Aren't you curious why the ancient strangers built this ruins?"
"Isn't it for the purpose of building a tomb?" Chu Xueying felt something was wrong as soon as she said it, because she had just said that the tomb only occupies a small area of the ruins. It's as if the tomb is just an appendage of the entire ruins, and it is obviously not the main intention of the ancient strangers to build the ruins.
Jiang Cheng was also very curious and asked Xu Dingjia, "Have you discovered anything?"
Xu Dingjia smacked his lips and said: "The structure of this ruins is really puzzling. After you look at this passage, the rooms are all about the same size, but they are engraved with different symbols, and they all seem to have different functions."
Chu Xueying was also lost in thought and said, "I think this layout is more like some kind of warehouse."
"It is indeed possible." Jiang Cheng said: "For example, the mysterious object is stored in the deepest part of the ruins. Inferring from this, other rooms may also be used to preserve items."
"It makes some sense." Xu Dingjia murmured: "But if that's the case, how can we explain the open space covered with ruins that we passed before?"
Listening to Xu Dingjia's words, Jiang Cheng's eyes gradually moved to the corresponding position on the map. The open space marked on the map occupies about a quarter of the entire ruins, and many of its details are also shown on the map.
The positions of the three stone pillars are marked on the map like a simplified version of the stone pillar carvings. It seems that the role of these stone pillars is not only to support the ruins, but also has some deeper meaning.
In addition to the unusual markings on the stone pillars, there are also many puzzling patterns on the open space. These patterns did not emit light, so they were not discovered at first. Xu Dingjia pointed at the lines and said, "These lines are looming, and they seem to be fundamentally different from other signs. What the hell is this?"
Chu Xueying reminded: "Have you forgotten our previous experience? I guess these lines are the veins of the ruins."
Jiang Cheng's eyes followed the lines and found that these dark lines were all over the entire ruins. However, unlike the open space, these lines seemed to exist in the walls of other rooms and were not revealed in the corridors.
Xu Dingjia sighed, "So, this open space should be the core area of the ruins' veins. Starting from three stone pillars, the ruins' veins connect almost all the rooms, and the more they look, the more they look like some kind of line. This also represents the ancient times. Strangers are able to fully understand this extra-dimensional substance and master the methods of using it. In fact, I suspect that these veins were created by strangers at all, and the core we passed through is the device that creates the veins."
"This is too scary!" Jiang Cheng said in disbelief, "Being able to possess this kind of ability shows that the civilization level of ancient foreigners even surpassed that of modern people, and it was not more than a little, it was a lot! Ruins like this Existence, modern humans cannot even understand its existence! Have you noticed that besides where we came in, there is another entrance here, and that entrance is a zone leading to multiple rooms."
Everyone looked carefully and found that the other entrance was quite secret, and it was impossible to open it without looking carefully.
"Looking at the sign, there is an arrow pointing vaguely outward, which seems to be a secret exit. Why did the ancient strangers build this ruins?" Xu Dingjia sighed with emotion, and suddenly turned to look at Chu Xueying and said: " Let’s discuss it.”
