The route map of the maze is very complicated. Even with Zhou Wen's memory, it took him a long time to memorize the route map.
In addition to the fact that the maze is too complex, it is also because the maze is constantly changing, and the degree of complexity of the change far exceeds the limit that ordinary humans can imagine.
To memorize these road maps, you not only need to memorize the route, but also need to cooperate with some formulas. When you really get lost, you will not rely on your brain to memorize the route, but use formulas and road maps to calculate the way out.
Zhou Wen spent a lot of time in this area. Just in case, Zhou Wen worked hard.
Two days later, Zhou Wen and An Sheng came to an inconspicuous field. It was originally a corn field, but the place was too remote. After the extra-dimensional storm, changes occurred here due to its influence.
The corn here grows very tall, each one is as tall as a big tree. The corn on it is bigger than a human head, and the corn kernels are golden and transparent.
And since that dimensional storm, the corn here has never withered and has been growing continuously.
The entrance of the maze is in the cornfield. When An Tianzuo and Ansheng were chased by a mythical forbidden creature, they fled in a hurry. In a panic, they escaped into the cornfield and finally fell into the maze. So he escaped.
It was there that An Tianzuo got his first mythical companion pet.
Ansheng wandered around the cornfield for a while, and finally found a place. He used a shovel to dig up the soil on the ground, revealing a metal plate.
The metal plate was lifted up, revealing an ancient well underneath.
An Sheng patted the dirt on his hands and said: "Later, the governor and I made some disguises here to prevent others from entering by mistake. Firstly, it was to prevent the treasure chest from being opened by others. Secondly, it was also to prevent humans from falling in. It is impossible to escape from it. Coming out of such a complicated maze will lead to a dead end."
"Master Wen, you must follow me closely when you go down, and you must not go wrong." An Sheng warned again before going down the well.
Zhou Wen followed Ansheng down to the ancient well. There was still water under the ancient well. Ansheng dived down. Not too deep, there was a horizontal passage.
Soon, the two people passed through the underwater passage and appeared in a square stone room.
An Sheng led Zhou Wen through the stone rooms. Every stone room here looked exactly the same, and there was almost no difference.
Moreover, every stone room has six exits, front, back, left, right, and up and down. Normal people can't walk very far in it before they get lost in it.
What's more, the stone houses here can move by themselves. For ordinary people, it is more difficult to get out than to climb to the sky.
The only good thing is that there are no dimensional creatures in this maze. They only need to identify the path and ensure that they don't get lost.
An Sheng walked around, calculating from time to time. It took him three or four hours to finally find a treasure chest with Zhou Wen.
This stone house is a little special, because this stone house has no exit below. There is a stone box placed where the exit below should have been.
Different from Zhou Wen's imagination of a treasure box inlaid with gold and silver, this is just an ordinary stone box, which doesn't look surprising.
"The treasure chests here are very strange. One person can only open three treasure chests. If there are more than three treasure chests, even if you bombard them with all your strength, it will be difficult to move them. Based on our previous experience, the treasure chests may be empty, or they may be empty. Companion eggs, dimensional crystals and some strange items are all extra-dimensional items," An Sheng said.
Zhou Wen stepped forward, reached out and pressed the lid of the treasure box, and lifted it up.
There was no golden light or precious aura. Inside the huge box, there was only a palm-sized crystal hourglass.
"What is this? What is its use?" Zhou Wen took the hourglass out of the treasure box and looked at it in his hand.
I saw the sand in the hourglass slowly flowing from one end to the other.
The sand is a kind of white sand, not the common yellow sand, and looks more delicate.
"There may be any strange things in the treasure chest. It's hard to say whether it's useful. Maybe this hourglass will have some effect." An Sheng said.
Zhou Wen nodded and was about to put the hourglass away when he discovered something strange.
Because he wanted to put it into his backpack, Zhou Wen turned the hourglass sideways. The strange thing was that when the hourglass was turned sideways, the sand did not stop and was still falling to the other end.
"Weird!" Zhou Wen picked up the hourglass and looked at it again, and saw that the sand was flowing sideways, completely violating the laws of physics.
Zhou Wen turned the hourglass upside down, and the sand that was supposed to flow downward actually flowed upstream without any intention of falling, which looked extremely weird.
"This hourglass is really unusual!" Zhou Wen played with the hourglass curiously. No matter how the hourglass was placed, the sand inside stubbornly flowed in the same direction.
But other than that, there is nothing particularly magical about it. Zhou Wen's injection of vitality has no effect on the hourglass. It seems that it is an insulator of vitality.
Seeing that the hourglass had no special effect, Zhou Wen put it into his backpack and followed An Sheng to continue looking for other treasure boxes.
During the time they stayed here, the location of the stone house changed again. An Sheng kept making calculations. After making the calculations, he took Zhou Wen and continued walking.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhou Wen suddenly heard a ding, like the sound of an electric oven resetting on time.
Zhou Wen and An Sheng were both startled, and then discovered that the sound came from inside the backpack.
Zhou Wen opened his backpack with a strange expression. There were no mechanical items or clocks in it.
Zhou Wen suddenly discovered that all the sand in the hourglass had leaked out, and all the sand had gone into another hole.
"Could it be that the sound just now was made by it?" Zhou Wen felt that there seemed to be no other possibility besides this.
I looked around repeatedly and saw that the hourglass didn't react with anything except that it began to flow in the opposite direction.
Putting the hourglass back into their backpacks, the two of them continued walking, but as soon as they stepped into the next stone house, they suddenly discovered that a light lit up inside the stone house.
All the stone houses that Zhou Wen and the others had walked through before were the same, without any difference, and there were no carvings on the walls.
But now there is a mural similar to a phoenix on the wall of this stone house. It is still radiating light and seems to be coming to life.
Just when the phoenix mural lit up, all the passages in the stone house were automatically closed.
