Jia Chaomeng was right!
When a "spotlight" shines on a stalactite crystal at an angle, the refracted light eventually projects a pattern on the boulder.
This pattern looks very much like the teleportation circle in the chess hall.
Jia Chao tried to inject some soul power into this "magic circle", and it really succeeded!
The magic circle was activated, and a black hole appeared on the big rock!
Through the black hole, you can see a dark staircase.
Jia Chao immediately withdrew the "spotlight" in the sky and urged Xingyue and Youchen to enter the black hole!
The three of them quickly walked up the long staircase to the end of the staircase.
There is a stone door here, and there is also a magic circle pattern on the stone door.
After activation, another black hole appears!
On the other side of the black hole is the dark desert!
Without any hesitation, the three of them immediately got through the black hole.
After coming out, I looked around and saw that there was still endless desert around me.
It was dark, there was no direction, there was no terrain to refer to.
The small dirt bag where the Five Chess Cave was located also disappeared, and it seemed that the three of them had been teleported to the center of the desert.
Breathing the dry air, Jia Chao lay down directly on the spot.
Seeing this, Xingyue and Youchen also lay down.
"Ah Chao, it's good to have you! If it had been anyone else, I wouldn't have been able to get out again!"
Xingyue said with lingering fear.
She recalled everything in the Five Chess Cave, and it seemed that no one except Ah Chao could crack it and get out smoothly.
But Jia Chao didn't think so at this time. He felt that he seemed to have missed something.
Logically speaking, the design of the five-chess hole should not be so difficult!
Otherwise, even if you get all the rewards from the first three levels, you may not be able to get out!
But at this moment, Jia Chao doesn't intend to find out anymore. After all, it seems that it is impossible to pass the level perfectly with the means he currently has.
Many times, it still depends on fate!
"You Chen, do you know how we should go now?"
Hearing this, You Chen sat up and looked up at the sky.
"Maybe we have to wait until dawn! There are no stars now, so we can't tell the direction!"
Jia Chao: "Do you still know how to observe the stars?"
You Chen scratched his head, "I once studied with the priests in the tribe, and I can barely tell the direction through the stars. On the Mingyi Ancient Road, just walk all the way north!"
When Jia Chao heard this, he immediately became interested. He patted his chest and found a natural magnet and an iron needle from the spiritual sea space.
After a while, the iron needle suspended by the hair became a compass.
You Chen, who was holding the "ceiling lamp", looked at the iron needle that pointed in the same direction no matter how he moved it, and asked:
"Brother Achao, even if you are facing north and south, which end points to the north and which end points to the north?"
Jia Chao: "..."
Good guy! If you get this thing wrong, it will really go the other way!
"Okay! Let's eat something and go to bed!"
After cleaning up, Jia Chao began to distribute the food.
Because there was no firewood, they could only eat hard dried meat.
As for water, it is one piece of ice per person.
As for whether eating it will cause diarrhea, it depends on the individual's immunity.
The night passed quickly.
The rising sun coats the entire desert with a layer of golden light. Looking up, it feels like you are in a golden ocean.
There is no wind in this desert, so you don't have to worry about being buried after sleeping.
But Jia Chao discovered some strange places. For example, the footprints of the three of him disappeared after a while!
There seems to be some kind of law at work here that makes the desert more like a desert.
Without delving into the mystery, Jia Chao woke up You Chen and Xingyue.
Under You Chen's identification, the group began to move towards the north.
Jia Chao didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until he was walking with a "compass" that he discovered why he was lost.
It turns out that without a compass, one cannot keep walking northward in the desert.
There will always be a mysterious and mysterious force that makes people deviate from the established direction and eventually get lost in the desert.
You Chen quickly realized this problem and used a compass to determine his direction from time to time.
Two days later, the three of them arrived at the edge of the desert.
There is a deep ditch here, and in the ditch is a dry river, with only a trickle flowing in the middle of the ditch.
Glancing at the east and west sides, You Chen pointed to the west and said to Jia Chao:
"Brother Achao, let's go in that direction. There may be a bridge over there."
Jia Chao shook his head with contempt and said:
"With your brother Ah Chao here, do we need to go to such trouble?"
As he spoke, a short sword suddenly shot out.
The dagger circled twice over the ditch and walked back and forth several more times.
No barriers, confirm safety!
"I'll try it first. If it works, you guys will come over too!"
Jia Chao took one step forward and flew across the ditch to the other side with his dagger.
You Chen and Xingyue were overjoyed to see this, but they were still happy too early.
Of the three people present, only Jia Chao was proficient in wielding a sword.
Xingyue held the dagger with one hand and hung it over because she had to free her hand to hold the dog-headed statue.
You Chen, on the other hand, was forced to cross the river by hooking his dagger to his waistband. It was also thanks to the stronger animal skin clothing Jia Chao gave him.
After crossing the river ditch, a dense forest appeared in front of the three of them.
Before they entered the dense forest, an ominous aura surrounded the three of them.
I saw some white bones exposed on the ground everywhere at the edge of the dense forest.
Jia Chao took the dog-headed statue from Xingyue, signaled the two of them to grab their weapons, and then took the lead towards the dense forest.
As a result, as soon as the three of them entered the dense forest, some strange "rustling" sounds began to sound around them.
The sound seemed to be something digging out of the thick rotten leaves and crawling out of the soft soil.
Jia Chao flew into the air with his dagger, and finally saw clearly the situation around him.
All the skeletons within a hundred meters came to life. They slowly emerged from the ground and began to surround the three of them with broken weapons.
Upon seeing this, Jia Chao immediately returned to Xingyue and the others.
"Quick! Let's pass here as quickly as possible, otherwise we will be surrounded!"
At this time, Xingyue and others had also discovered the problem, because many skeletons of bones emerged from the ground in front of them.
Without any hesitation, the three of them ran towards the north!
Their tactic is to win with speed.
The skeletons emerge from the ground very slowly. As long as you get through before they emerge, you will definitely be able to break through the encirclement.
However, something unexpected happened to Jia Chao and the others.
It turns out that although the skeletons are slow to emerge from the ground, once they emerge, they will transform into agile warriors.
In the dense forest full of dead branches and rotten leaves, they ran as if they were walking on flat ground.
Although Jia Chao can perform Ten Thousand Sword Art, he cannot control objects other than daggers in this dense forest.
If not, he would have used the flying board to carry Xingyue and Yue to escape!
So after escaping less than a thousand meters away, Jia Chao and the others were surrounded!
