Qiu Yu and his party were exhausted after walking in the maze for six hours. Although this was the right path, there were countless traps that needed to be dealt with carefully.
Qiu Yu's tiredness is that he has to keep doing calculations based on ancient tortoise shells, find the right path and avoid countless traps, while other people's tiredness is that he has to do countless pushes and pulls under Qiu Yu's guidance one after another. The physical work required, sometimes even Qiu Yan had to use his hands.
When Qian Xiao kept complaining that he would die on his own without waiting for the lizard man to do anything if he continued like this, the end of the maze finally appeared in front of him.
This is a long downward slope. Because of the existence of those microorganisms, the scene down this slope cannot be seen, but everyone can feel the sense of danger coming from down the slope.
Qian Xiao stepped on the slope and fell to the ground. It looked like there was a layer of oil on the slope of less than 30 degrees. If I didn't just use my toes to try and keep my center of gravity behind me, I might have slipped down.
Qian Xiao wiped away the startled cold shout and said to Qiu Yu, "Master, I remember that the exit is on the ground, why is it downwards here?"
"I didn't say we were going to the exit."
"Then where is this place?" Qian Xiao had a bad feeling.
"This is the way back to our command room." Qiu Yu touched the smooth slope with his hand, and then quickly slid back and forth on it like a child playing, "According to the characteristics of the lizard people, They have absolutely no interest in robbery and plunder, and will not wander around. And without our presence as a guide, they may not be able to discover the existence of the command room. So combining these two points, after we leave the command room, there will probably be no lizards. People have gone in. If we go back now, everything in the command room should be usable..."
Qian Xiao no longer wastes his brain cells to analyze Qiu Yu's thinking, which would easily be affected by his own way of thinking. Now his tone of questioning Qiu Yu is more and more like a studious student, "If there is anything important in it, you can Why didn't you use it earlier and had to turn around in a big circle and then turn back?"
"This is to eliminate the difference between half and all." Qiu Yu picked up his hand that had been sliding on the slope for a long time, raised it to his nose, smelled it, and continued, "In the temple, the only area where people can actually move is Floors one to six, and floors seven, eight, and nine are part of the maze, and they are also the most dangerous part of the maze. It can be said that no position in it is absolutely safe. The purpose of the entire maze is not to let people get lost. , but allows those who can pass through the front part to be killed after reaching the last three floors. However, this is only a normal situation. The ultimate method can be to kill the entire maze instantly at the cost of destroying the entire maze. Everybody in it.”
"The lizardmen chasing us should have entered the maze. Counting the time, the lizardmen who are attacking the palace have almost entered the seventh floor and beyond."
"In other words, the main attack force of the lizardmen has chased the defeated missionaries into the maze from the entrance to the seventh floor, and their reserve team has also chased us into the maze. The lizardmen left outside the maze now should be gone. There will be too many, so the so-called everything should be basically achieved."
After Qian Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, a look of realization appeared on his face, "The purpose of our circle is to introduce all the lizard people into the maze?"
Qiu Yu stretched out five fingers toward Qian Xiao, then nodded and put down one.
Qian Xiao immediately understood what Qiu Yu was testing him for, and continued, "For the Lizardman Commander, your guidance on his mentality is not only to allow us to enter the maze smoothly, but also to make him feel that everything is under his control. After suddenly realizing that they had been tricked, they became angry and because they valued our resourcefulness, they sent as many lizardmen into the maze as possible."
Qiu Yu put down another finger and added at the same time, "The anger and attention that arouse him are actually one and the same. As a calm commander, he knows that calmness is his greatest advantage, so it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to anger him. So after I made him realize that there were opponents among us who were the same as him, or even stronger than him, he would use the excuse that the dangers and variables we brought must be eliminated as soon as possible to cover up his anger. As for him personally For me, this excuse was so deceptive that it caused him to completely confuse his concern for us with his anger, but he couldn't realize it. But in fact, the effect of the two mixed and alone is very different. Different places."
Qian Xiao suppressed the exclamation in his heart and said as calmly as possible, "So since you have tried so hard to get most of the lizard people into the maze, you must not expect to kill them all by relying on the maze itself. In addition, our destination is The command room...the last one of the three red buttons is probably the bomb in the maze, or a self-destruct mechanism, right?"
Qiu Yu put down his third finger, "Yes, the structure of the entire maze is quite amazing. Just activate a small mechanical mechanism, and the entire maze and all the lizardmen in it will disappear completely. If there are evolutionary rewards, If so, I think the number of lizardmen in the maze should be enough."
"In the end, all this plan is not only to keep us alive, but also to pave the way for you to press that button..." Qian Xiao sighed, "Then even if you kill all the lizardmen in the shelter at once If we kill them all, then the lizardmen from other places will also come to complete the task of killing us?"
"The key to these is time." Qiu Yu put down his fourth finger, "The lizardmen can no longer bring out other large forces. You have forgotten that it took three days for the lizardmen to attack the shelter. Assembled? In other words, it is impossible to gather a large-scale lizard force within 3 days around us. And I let them see the results of the attack step by step, which is to make the lizard people appear now. The troops are sufficient, and there is no need to summon troops from further away... Only in this way, they will not fight while summoning lizardmen from further away. The three days gained in this way are absolutely safe."
Before Qian Xiao could speak urgently, Qiu Yu put down his fifth finger and said, "Let's get down from here first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yu jumped up the slope and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Everyone who had learned the lesson immediately jumped up.
Because the slope is very smooth, even if the speed is very fast, you will not feel too much discomfort caused by high-speed friction. It feels like you are playing on a slide. It's just that you can't see the scene around this slide at all.
After a minute or so, as the angle slowed down, everyone gradually slowed down, and an exit with bright light appeared in front of them.
Qian smiled and squinted his eyes for a few seconds before sliding into the bright place with a dumbfounded expression.
"what is this?"
Although Qian Xiao was the only one who asked the question, the expressions corresponding to these four words were all on the faces of the others.
This is actually the command room where a bunch of people like him have been staying for several days. Although he knows that Qiu Yu's destination is here, he has said so many words just now, which always gives people the feeling that the journey is difficult.
As long as Akiha explains in detail, the idea that what will follow is either a historical event or an unfortunate event that requires desperate efforts has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But this time, it is so smooth to reach the destination, it is really difficult to turn around. Come.
