As time pauses, there is no way to change the surrounding environmental factors.
The entire cave was still in a sweltering state, and Xie Chen could only endure the discomfort of sweating all over his body, and walked forward with a little worry.
He was stuck at the peak of the brightness of the stone and pressed the pocket watch, which was equivalent to having ten minutes of wireless lighting.
After walking nearly ten meters to reach the inside of the cave, the peak brightness of this stone was no different from that of a small flashlight.
And this soft cyan shimmer can actually make your eyes see more clearly.
It was the puddles on the ground that easily caused refracted light to flash back. This was the only place where I felt uncomfortable.
Xie Chen looked at the situation around him happily.
Apart from the surrounding mountain walls, the puddles on the ground were also indistinguishable.
There are depressions in two places on the mountain wall, and the rest are not weird. Even except for the drop in the middle, it is more like two pieces of soil that fell to the ground due to the erosion of water vapor in the cave.
Xie Chen didn't pay too much attention to this place, but continued walking forward and almost reached the second half of the entire cave.
Although the inside of the cave is very muddy, within ten minutes, with enough lighting, it is enough for me to walk a long distance.
Xie Chen wiped the sweat from his head and found that the stone in his hand began to slowly darken, and then he learned that the effect of the pocket watch had ended.
"Then just press it again. We should be leaving this cave soon."
Xie Chen thought to himself, and immediately placed the stone on the ground, waiting quietly for the stone to reach its peak brightness again.
Unexpectedly, his wish came true.
Just after the stone was placed on the ground, there was a clicking sound immediately.
I didn't pay too much attention to it at first, after all, the brightness of the stone had completely dimmed, and at this time I just happened to place the stone on the ground.
I thought the sound was caused by the collision with the gravel on the ground in the cave.
But after waiting quietly for a while, I realized that something was wrong. Maybe I really understood it wrong.
Xie Chen quickly touched it with his hand, only to find some babbling sounds around him, ringing in his ears.
It seemed that there were many people surrounding him. If it weren't for the thick water vapor, which made him clearly aware that he was still inside the cave, he might have felt that there was really such a group of people surrounding him.
While Xie Chen touched it with his hands, he vaguely touched the fragments of the stone. There seemed to be a gap in the middle, and there was a ball of something similar to paper wrapped inside.
Xie Chen pulled out the paper in confusion, but did not check it immediately, but held it in his hand.
Then he quickly picked up two warm pieces with his hands.
When he touched his fingers, the two fragments returned to light again, but they were the same as the ones he picked up at the entrance of the cave. They no longer had the same brightness as before.
Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the brightness was very low, it was not unusable.
What I'm most afraid of now is that there's not even a trace of light, so I'm like a headless fly in this cave.
It would be okay if this was the only way, but going straight ahead would be a bit slow at best.
The scary thing is that there will be some forks in the cave, and if a paper figure suddenly appears in front of me like when I went up the mountain, and I can't see the road ahead clearly.
It's definitely a very bad time.
Xie Chen took a heavy breath, and facing the current situation, he could only temporarily press his pocket watch.
The moment the pocket watch was pressed, the sounds that echoed in his ears immediately disappeared again.
Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief. At least the pocket watch still had its functions, and these things were still affected by the pocket watch.
"Old man, even in Kaitan, there are still many things that can restrict you, otherwise you would really be invincible."
Xie Chen sighed helplessly, then picked up the note in his hand and read it.
[First: Don’t let anything find out you can hear. 】
[Second: Don’t let anything see what you can see. 】
[Third: You only need to keep moving forward to return to the original starting point. Don't look back, so as not to fall into danger. 】
[Fourth: The amulet will beat every second. Every time 49 times, you need to throw it to the ground and pick it up again. Don't think about anything. 】
[Fifth: Don’t lift your legs when walking. Follow the red firelight. Only the red firelight will lead the way. In addition, if you don’t see the red firelight, it means you are safe. 】
[Sixth: There is no moon here, don’t look at the moon, it will trap people forever. 】
[Seventh: The position of the fire is the bridge, and the rest is water. Follow the fire to the end, throw the amulet in, then immediately turn around and run out as fast as possible. 】
[Eighth: You have to understand that only you can save yourself. Don’t be fooled by any other superficial phenomena. 】
After Xie Chen read everything on the front of the note, his expression became serious.
At least so far, the precautions mentioned in this note correspond to what happened before.
If nothing unexpected happens, what he will face next is the key node to break this barrier.
But judging from the note and what I have experienced, why does this copy look more and more like a cycle?
"Does backtracking also represent a cycle?"
Xie Chen considered this issue in his heart.
If you can't break this situation, you will have to keep looking back in this copy forever, and even forget who you are.
But this copy is called "Funeral."
I really can't figure it out, why does the funeral have to be related to the retrospective?
Moreover, I am still trapped in it, and there is no place in between that can be put together clearly.
Xie Chen shook his head, took the note and gravel in his hand, and continued walking forward.
The note mentioned three key factors: "talisman", "fire" and "bridge".
Connecting these things should be the key to leaving this copy.
But the talisman he saw earlier had turned into ashes along with the green and white paper man, and there was no such thing as a talisman on him.
As for the bridge, I walked across it by the boat, and there was indeed water under the bridge.
As for the third kind of "fire", I haven't seen it yet.
Especially when entering this dark cave, all you see is darkness.
Not to mention the fire, there was not even a little light.
While thinking about these questions, the effect of the pocket watch also disappeared unknowingly.
Xie Chen walked forward slowly, getting slower and slower.
It was more like my feet were stained with something. Although it was just the trouser legs that were wet, they seemed to be covered and locked, making it inconvenient to even lift my feet.
As we walked further forward, a faint light became more and more obvious.
But there was an extremely severe feeling of heat all over his body, as if he was facing a fireball that was about to swallow him up completely.
Xie Chen was covered in sweat, and the vapor was carrying the smell of sweat, which made his consciousness a little unclear.
In fact, this is considered a serious dehydration. If the water is not replenished, I will probably faint in this cave.
Xie Chen was in a daze, walking forward with difficulty, and vaguely seemed to have arrived at the exit of the cave.
But what caught his eyes were large swaths of blazing flames.
A powerful tearing feeling blew over, which was the huge heat flow generated by the wind blowing across the burning place of the flame.
Sometimes if you get closer, you don't need to let the flames burn you. The heat flow alone is enough to cause burns on your body.
Xie Chen's body surface seemed to be bleeding.
Even the hair drooped.
The flames in front seemed to have gathered into a huge hell demon, roaring at him with its fangs and claws.
