Since she knew that she had fallen into an illusion, Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan did not waste any more energy and stopped walking forward. Instead, they were thinking about how to break the illusion.
"There must be clues to these weird runes on the stone walls of the corridor, but it's a pity that I can't understand them at all."
Lin Ran carefully observed the surroundings. Apart from the skeletal corpses, there was nothing around but the extremely hard stone wall.
Moreover, the more Lin Ran looked at the runes on the stone wall, the more strange they became. Lin Ran guessed that these runes must be of great use to break this illusion.
"Lin Ran, the runes on the stone walls on the left and right seem to be the same, and they seem to be repeated?"
Meng Zhishan carefully compared the runes on the stone walls on the left and right, and said to Lin Ran beside her.
"I've also discovered this, but unfortunately I have no clue. If I could understand these runes, it would be simple."
"I really didn't expect that the first trial site that Senior Yuntian mentioned would be like this. I thought it would be a fierce battle, and only the one who managed to stay in the end would be considered successful."
Lin Ran has now completely confirmed that this blood-red corridor must be the trial site of the first level, but he never expected that it would be in this form, which made Lin Ran feel very surprised.
However, Lin Ran just complained a few words and did not give up at this time. He was still looking for clues seriously.
"Zhishan, I feel that in order to break this illusion, the runes on these stone walls must be useful. They are definitely not as simple as decoration."
"And these runes are still stained with some star power."
"In this way, let's compare it carefully and see if the runes on the stone walls on the left and right sides are exactly the same. If there are any differences, let's take a closer look."
I don't know if it was Lin Ran's premonition or some other reason. The more Lin Ran looked at these runes, the weirder they felt, especially when he felt that they were contaminated with the spiritual power of Xu Xing. This made Lin Ran even more curious and firmly believed that they must be. It is an illusion formed by such runes.
"Um."
Meng Zhishan nodded slightly, and then seriously began to compare the runes on the stone walls on both sides, not daring to slack off at all. After all, this was related to the safety of her and Lin Ran's lives, so she had to take it seriously.
In this way, about ten minutes passed, and the two of them were still observing the runes carefully.
But at this moment, Meng Zhishan suddenly shouted: "Lin Ran, isn't this rune a little weird?"
When Lin Ran heard this, he immediately ran towards Meng Zhishan.
"Look, this rune is exactly the same as the rune on the stone wall on the left except for a little bit missing. There is only this one difference on the stone walls on both sides. You think it is too long ago and it will move on its own. Has it fallen off, or is it simply missing a little bit?”
Meng Zhishan's observation was very subtle. At this time, she pointed at a rune on the stone wall in front and said to Lin Ran seriously.
After Lin Ran heard this, he also observed it carefully, and then felt the rune, and found that there was still a fluctuation of star power on it, and it had the same degree of fluctuation of star power as other runes around it.
"The remaining star power on this rune is the same as the other runes around it, so their effectiveness should be the same, and it is impossible for it to fall off on its own."
"Even if it really fell off, why did Zhi fall off alone and not the rest?"
Lin Ran paced back and forth, constantly observing the runes on the stone walls on both sides.
"The traces I left with the lightning dagger just now did not damage these runes."
"Look, there is no damage at all. This further proves that the runes on the stone wall cannot fall off on their own."
At first, Lin Ran didn't think there was something weird about the runes on the stone wall, so he just used the lightning condensed city dagger to make a few random cuts on the stone wall.
Moreover, Lin Ran had not carefully observed the stone wall that he had scratched before. After hearing Meng Zhishan say that the runes were a little missing, he quickly carefully observed the stone wall that he had scratched before and found that the runes were indeed not damaged.
It was as if there was an invisible force protecting the runes. Even if Lin Ran used the dagger condensed by lightning, it did not damage the runes. The traces left by the lightning dagger seemed to automatically bypass these Runes are very magical.
"If you look at it this way, then this rune will definitely not fall off automatically, but it is indeed missing a little here."
"Wait a minute, is it possible that if we make up for this, it will be possible to lift the illusion?"
Meng Zhishan tried to press the runes on the stone wall, but found that they could not be removed at all. She also observed that the marks left by Lin Ran on the stone wall with the lightning dagger had not damaged the runes.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Lin Ran beside him and said.
"Although I can't be sure, I can give it a try."
"Anyway, there's no good solution now. Let's try it out."
Lin Ran nodded slightly, then used lightning to condense the dagger, preparing to re-engrave the missing point on the rune to see if it could trigger any mechanism.
Even if a dangerous mechanism is triggered, it is still better than staying in the corridor all the time.
Just like that, Lin Ran seriously waved the dagger condensed by lightning and began to carve marks on the stone wall.
But something strange happened again. No matter how Lin Ran imprinted it, he could not imprint it successfully. Every time it was imprinted, it would be inexplicably erased, leaving no mark.
"Hey, no, what should I do?"
Meng Zhishan herself took out a sharp dagger and tried to carve it several times, but ultimately failed, so she sighed deeply and showed a bit of despair.
Even if they don't have to kill each other, they can't leave this tunnel. Over time, they will inevitably die.
"No, no, there's definitely something weird about this rune."
"Could it be that... we are using the wrong tool?"
Although Lin Ran was a little discouraged, he was also more certain that this rune was weird, not just that it couldn't be engraved.
In addition, every time Lin Ran was carving, he could clearly feel the star power in all the runes on the surrounding stone walls vibrating. Although it was very small, it was still noticed by the vigilant Lin Ran.
Moreover, in Lin Ran's understanding, if something like a mechanism is operated improperly or the wrong method is used, it will definitely trigger a dangerous mechanism.
But now there is none, which means that maybe Lin Ran and the others are on the right track, but they just cannot successfully engrave and need to find something.
