Except for Wu Chi, Wu Ren and Sa Shangmai never mentioned the matter about the captain of the Earth Walker to anyone else. Because among the remaining group of people, they are the only ones who know about this person's betrayal...
The remaining people had received favors from this person in the past. Wu Ren was worried that they would cause trouble if they knew the truth, so he hid the matter and only said that he was surrounded by travelers.
Seeing that Wu Fan's expression was wrong when he returned, Wu Ren asked Wu Chi to dismiss everyone, and then he and Sa Shangmai took Wu Fan towards the depths.
After hearing Wu Fan's explanation, Wu Ren's expression also became solemn: "Although I don't know what this guy misunderstood, but he will definitely be detrimental to you when he goes back this time!"
"This is secondary..." Wu Fan shook his head, "Although he didn't succeed this time, he still got a rough idea. I saw that the travelers on the road were patrolling closely, and I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before our position is exposed..."
"It doesn't matter." Wu Ren waved his hand and said: "Anyway, we are used to hiding, so we don't have to move again."
"But hiding like this is not an option after all..." Wu Fan sighed, "After all, there is not much time left now."
"Huh?" Sa Shangmai, who was listening in the audience, was slightly startled. "Why do these words sound familiar? By the way! That day I heard the sect leader also uttering the same words..."
Hearing the sect master, Wu Fan suddenly asked: "During the time I left, did he come back?"
"Uh..." Shanshou Mace touched his nose after hearing the words, "No...Actually, I haven't seen the sect master for a long time. These words were all said by him before..."
"Hahaha... Don't worry, little brother, although the sect master is not here, he is always concerned about this place! So if anything happens, he will definitely come here as soon as possible!" Wu Ren glared at the boss and said haha.
"That's not what I'm worried about..." Wu Fan was afraid that telling the truth would frighten people, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile, and continued: "Senior, I have something to ask you."
"It's not about asking for advice, little brother, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it." Wu Ren said with a smile.
Wu Fan nodded slightly: "I want to know... how to enter the black line?"
"What?" Wu Renyu was stunned.
Before returning this time, Wu Fan used convenience to go to the Black Line to test. But he found that the black line seemed to be integrated with the surrounding space, forming an airtight wall that completely isolated everyone who wanted to pass through. It was not as simple as he imagined.
"Senior, time is running out now. I have to go investigate inside the black line. Since your people have already entered once, there must be a way, right!" Wu Fan explained.
"Why do you want to investigate? I see that you are clearly seeking your own death! No, no, no! There is nothing we can do!" He refused rather simply.
"Yes, little brother..." Wu Ren also looked solemn, "There is a huge price to pay for entering the black line. We really can't afford any more losses..."
"Seniors, don't get me wrong." Wu Fan continued, "I just want to go alone without wasting too many resources!"
"This is even worse!" Wu Ren interrupted coldly: "You have done too many things for us. As seniors, how can we bear to see you die in vain!"
Seeing that the other party had a firm attitude no matter what he said, and even turned around to leave. In desperation, Wu Fan no longer cared about comforting people.
"This space is about to collapse..." Wu Fan took a deep breath and said calmly.
Hearing this, the two of them immediately stood still and looked back with disbelief: "You...what did you say?"
"This space is about to collapse." Wu Fan repeated.
"If it collapses, it will collapse. At worst, we will just wait for the sect leader to come back and find another place..." He looked like he didn't care when he let go.
"That's why...there's no time left, right?" Wu Ren was silent for a moment, his face slightly pale.
"That's right." Wu Fan's tone was calm, as if he was telling a normal thing: "The space here was originally created temporarily for the group of travelers, and it couldn't last for too long, especially after so many things happened. It has already reached its end..."
"Then little brother, can you tell me how much time is left?" Wu Ren's expression was a little stiff.
"Tomorrow or destruction, no one knows which one will come first..." Wu Fan said. Although the owner vowed to wait for his return, Wu Fan did not believe that he could give up his hard work for his own tree. Forest for many years…
Naturally, Wu Ren couldn't bear to let Wu Fan go into danger alone, but he was still injured. If he insisted on following him, he would not only be unable to help, but might even drag him down...
Thinking of this, Wu Ren was really unwilling to give in and sighed: "It's really not that easy to enter the black line. Little brother, it's better to follow me first and then make a decision."
With that said, Wu Ren gave instructions to Sa Shangmai, who immediately quickened his pace and went back to prepare.
…
"Please, little brother, this is it." The two walked along the path towards a remote place, and not long after they came to a stone chamber excavated the day after tomorrow.
Wu Fan followed Wu Ren into the stone chamber, and saw that although the opening here faced away from the sun, it was full of light. It turned out that the lighting torch was lit by the trump card who had arrived before them.
With the help of the firelight, Wu Fan looked down and saw that the ground was piled with dark yellow papers. He casually picked up a piece of paper and felt that the corners of the paper were rough and the thickness was uneven. It looked like it was made in a hurry and was shoddily made.
But what attracted him was not the material of the paper, but the strange symbols painted on it.
"Senior, this must be the weird map you mentioned before, right?" Wu Fan still remembered the previous conversation and asked, pointing to the symbols on the paper.
"Yes, this is the map drawn by that person, and it is completely arranged in the order of that day, without any..."
Before Wu Ren finished speaking, he saw Sanshou coming in with a pile of thick papers and throwing them on the ground with a clatter.
"Wu Ren, all the maps are here!" Lethal gasped and pointed at the ground.
"Get out of here!" Wu Ren looked gloomy and was about to get angry.
"You guys are really heartless. Is this your attitude of asking for help?" He muttered, turning around and going out.
"This reckless guy..." Wu Ren cursed with a smile, and then pointed to the other side: "Little brother, please watch first, let me sort it out and explain to you..."
According to Wu Ren, access inside and outside the black line was originally smooth and unobstructed. And at that time, there will be some strange noises coming from inside, or strange and fascinating sights.
The sect leader always felt that the black line was not that simple, so he decided to take the lead and go deep into it, ready to find out!
Perhaps because of his strong sense of danger, he noticed that the situation was not good as soon as he entered the entrance. He could always feel a shadow lying behind him, so he hurriedly struggled out.
In order to prevent further abnormalities from happening, he used all his strength to set up a magic circle to isolate the internal and external passages of the black line. Perhaps because he was frightened, or because he expended too much energy, the sect leader fell into a weak state and could not recover for a long time.
Wu Fan didn't have much contact with them before, so Wu Rencai didn't mention it. Now that Wu Fan has considered entering the black line, there are some pros and cons that he can no longer hide.
Wu Fan was relieved to hear that the isolation was just a magic circle, and judging from Wu Ren's attitude, he must know how to enter.
But before that, there is still a problem that needs to be solved.
"Senior, are these really maps?" Wu Fan had already read through the paper on his side, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that these weird symbols had nothing to do with the map, and he really had no clue.
Wu Ren looked helpless when he heard this: "To be honest, none of us can understand it, but the sect leader did say so. Maybe there is some connection between them?"
As he spoke, Wu Ren pointed to the wall opposite: "In order to prevent travelers from discovering anything strange, although we have destroyed the paintings on the wall of the previous residence, we have transcribed them on homemade paper in advance, although they are slightly different in details. , but the approximate location is the same..."
"Senior is interested." Wu Fan thanked him.
"No, it's just a small effort..." Wu Ren's tone was a little bitter, "But speaking of it, we haven't been to the black line for a long time, and we don't know when the next exit will appear..."
"Oh? Does it mean that if you want to pass through, you need to have a fixed time?" Wu Fan asked.
Wu Ren nodded: "Yes, although this black line looks lifeless, there seems to be a flow of life in it. So when night falls and the flow of life slows down, the circle will also loosen, and that is to enter it. The best time! But..."
"Is there anything else wrong?"
"Not really..." Wu Ren frowned, "It's just because there are travelers all around, and I'm worried that someone will find me if I go out now..."
Wu Fan smiled nonchalantly: "Since I have listened for so long, I leave this matter to you, senior."
Wu Ren looked around and said doubtfully: "Little brother, who are you talking to."
Wu Fan did not answer, but simply comforted: "Don't worry, senior, you don't have to participate in this matter anymore, just leave the rest to me."
Wu Ren could only shake his head as he came outside the stone room: "Let's go, did you notice anyone nearby?"
Letting go looked confused and shook his head repeatedly.
After Wu Ren left, Wu Fan settled down again and studied the ghost-drawing talismans in front of him.
"Little friend, are you really planning to enter that black line?" the old immortal said seriously.
"Otherwise? I can't ignore them and choose to leave with that unknown guy..." Wu Fan was also helpless. At the moment, there was really no better way besides taking risks.
"Let's not talk about this for now, time is running out! Old immortal, you guys are here to help me as well!"
As he said that, one person, one stick and one flower cloth, were immersed in the problem together...
…
"Good boy, how did he know that I was eavesdropping?" The three-eared mouse stood up, looked at his palms and muttered, "That's all, there are so many weird things about this kid, it's not surprising that he noticed me... "
After saying that, I saw the figure of the three-eared rat flashing, and then quietly disappeared from the place, as if it had never appeared...
