"Um, you...do you want me to follow you?"
"What!"
Sure enough, the guess was confirmed. Following Chen Xiaoyao's tentative inquiry, the sheep that had just taken a few steps in front actually barked again as if in reply!
Seeing this, Daoshi Chen was immediately overjoyed, and he further figured out the whole story. In his personal opinion, the general situation of the previous encounter should be like this:
First of all, it can be concluded that there are indeed beetles in the maze, and the beetles will definitely attack the executor. However, in addition to the beetles, there is another thing in the maze that can protect the executor, something that can effectively prevent the beetles from attacking. Not bad. , the sheep, is the sheep that just appeared with the hawk in front of me. Although I still don’t understand how the sheep prevents the hawk from attacking the executor, at least one thing is certain, that is, as long as the sheep is around, the hawk will The best example of being unable to attack the executor is that the mummy bug just left on its own. It is also the best proof. Yes, if the sheep do not have the ability to drive away the bug, why did the mummy bug give up the attack and leave early?
Based on the above arguments, after much thought, Chen Xiaoyao thought he had found the answer, thought he had figured everything out, and gradually understood the specific role of sheep. What is its role? The effect comes precisely from the mission mechanism. There is no doubt that because this supernatural mission prohibits the performer from using props, in order to balance the difficulty and prevent the performer from dying when encountering a locust, a curse is placed on a monster with the ability to drive away locusts. The sheep were put into the maze together, and according to the latest observation, this sheep seems to have the function of guiding the way. Perhaps as long as they keep following the sheep, the executor will be very likely to find the exit of the maze!
Yes, the above is the answer that Chen Xiaoyao got from his short-term analysis through the encounter he just encountered. In that case...
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
Seeing the sheep walking further and further, seeing that the sheep was about to disappear around the corner in front, with all kinds of secret joy, Chen Xiaoyao hurriedly raised his feet and followed. In a moment, one person and one sheep disappeared into the distance, disappearing into the corner of the intricate alley.
………
The mission lasted 4 hours and 15 minutes, in a certain passage of the maze.
Da da da da da!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
There were ups and downs of shouts, there was panic here, the sound of running quickly mixed with the screams of terror continued in the passage. Looking around, I saw an obese young man trembling wildly and running as fast as he could. He stared intently. It was not Qiao. Who else could Kaidi be?
Seeing this, some people may ask, why do most other people walking through the maze save energy while exploring, but only the fat man is running? In fact, it's not that the fat man doesn't want to save energy, but that he has to run, even if he doesn't want to, because...
He encountered a tiger.
Half a minute ago, when he was tired and hungry and walked to a sideways corner, he encountered a lynx that suddenly appeared out of thin air!
It is indeed a wolf, a wolf through and through, a ferocious wolf that not only floats in mid-air but is also obviously in the shape of a mummy. It is true that this is the first time Qiao Kedi has performed a supernatural mission, but it is not the first time he has encountered a wolf, because he was beaten when he boarded the car. After being chased by the tide, the fat man was extremely frightened by such a terrifying thing. Sure enough, when he was in a maze and had been groping for a long time, he unexpectedly found a floating mummy that appeared almost out of thin air in the alleyway. , the fat man was so frightened that he almost became incontinent!
Fortunately, he had a lot of momentum, and after he collapsed on the ground, he quickly recovered and reacted, then rolled around and ran, running straight towards another corridor.
So, Qiao Kedi ran away, howling and running like a domestic pig that found a butcher. He didn't know how long he ran or how many corners he went around. In the next few minutes, he turned into a headless fly and ran around in the maze. After 8 minutes of running around, the fat man slowly stopped due to lack of physical strength.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Currently at a crossroads in the maze that seems to be almost everywhere, the exhausted Qiao Kedi is sitting on the ground looking nervously. Although his physical strength is exhausted, he still musters up his energy and stares at the observation. He just rests and observes his surroundings. It seems that I am very worried whether the nymphs I encountered before will appear again.
After observing for a long time, until he repeatedly confirmed that there was no sign of the wolf around, the fat man finally recovered a little from his fear, but before that, there is one thing to praise Qiao Kedi, that is, even though Qiao Kedi is fat, he still behaves Feng was very straightforward and decisive. It could be easily seen from his quick reaction when he first encountered the locust. In addition, his brain was quite vigilant. The reason why he chose a crossroad as a resting place at this moment was also very clear. As expected, in his opinion, although he has never been able to find the exit of the maze, there is no harm in resting at such an intersection with well-connected lanes. If he encounters a wolf again, at least he will not be blocked by a wolf into a dead end. There is no escape.
Details determine success or failure, be careful with the Wannian Ship. Zongzong's idea seems to be right, but unfortunately he is still a mortal after all. After all, he is just an ordinary fat man, a newcomer who performs a supernatural mission for the first time. In order to avoid danger, he looks for Although he had unleashed all his potential, it was of no use. He failed and could not find the exit from the maze from beginning to end. Originally, he and Wu Junyou had specifically sought out the captain before entering the mission, hoping that the veteran would be able to It was a good idea to take care of them more or less. Unexpectedly, people are not as good as God. He Fei nodded and agreed, but the curse poured cold water on the two of them. They separated everyone at the beginning of the mission. This is good. Not only was there no trace of the senior people who had placed their hopes on him, even Wu Junyou, who was a newcomer, was nowhere to be found. In addition, more than 4 hours had passed since the mission. Not to mention that he was tired and thirsty at the moment. The mummies that would pop up suddenly almost scared him to death.
There is no doubt that Qiao Kedi believed it and could be sure that there were indeed terrible locusts in the white maze. He was afraid that the locusts would kill him next time!
(What should I do? There is no signal on the mobile phone, no signal on the communicator, the maze is complicated and looks the same everywhere, and no matter where I go, it is all white walls and white corridors. What should I do? Will I be killed by a hawk? Or? Starved to death or thirsty? After all, the mission time is unlimited. If I still can’t find the red door that represents the exit, then sooner or later I will...)
(I don’t want to die, I don’t want to be trapped alive, let alone be killed by hawks. Where is this place? Do I still have hope of leaving? Do I still live to see the sun the next day?)
(Help, help, who can help me? Who can take me out of this damn maze.)
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more he thought about it, the more timid he became. Qiao Kedi did not dare to continue thinking about it, because he finally realized the horror and even despair of the supernatural mission. This kind of despair was something he had never experienced in the real world. Death, the death penalty for making one wrong move and losing everything. Yes, supernatural missions are so cruel. The mission itself is similar to a multiple-choice question. Either you complete the mission and continue to survive, or you die because you fail to complete the mission. There is no other way. Walk.
Just when Qiao Kedi was sitting on the ground to rest and his heart was sinking...
"What!"
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.
Suddenly, there was a noise, and an obvious animal cry and a series of human footsteps were reflected in the eardrums from far to near!
"ah!"
Fortunately, Qiao Keidi did not forget to remain alert even while thinking. As soon as he heard the noise, the fat man was shocked and jumped up from the ground as if he was electrocuted. Immediately, he hurriedly looked at the surrounding observation channels with extremely vigilant eyes. He had already He made up his mind that if he found anything wrong at all, he would choose a way to escape without delay, and he would avoid danger no matter what, but...
As the footsteps approached, he looked around. When his vision swept to a corridor on the right, Qiao Kedi's expression changed, his tense body completely froze, and the corners of his twitching mouth suddenly paused. Not only that, the eyes looking towards the corridor were even more... In an instant, his eyes widened into autumn, and he stared so wide that his whole body seemed shocked, but he did not run away.
Because he didn't know whether to run or not.
At this moment, if you follow Qiao Kedi's gaze and look forward to the opposite side, the first thing that comes into view is the following scene:
Walking in harmony, directly ahead, a sheep walked out of the corner of the alley. First, a sheep slowly walked out!
Yes, he read it right. It was indeed a real sheep. If the sheep could only be described as surprised, then what really made it give up the idea of escape came from further behind. Two people actually followed the sheep and came pacing. The slow pace of the even sheep drew closer.
Neither of them were strangers. Qiao Kedi knew everyone. The visitors were none other than the captain He Fei and another senior named Zhao Ping!
It's not strange to meet teammates in the maze. What's really strange is...
Didn’t expect there were sheep in the maze?
What’s even more surprising is why He Fei and Zhao Ping followed the sheep.
Of course, these are just the instinctive thoughts of Qiao Kedi after seeing the scene in front of him. In fact, when Qiao Kedi saw He and Zhao, they were following the sheep slowly on the opposite side. They also saw the newcomer Fatty, let’s not talk about the discovery. After the fat man, He Fei looked surprised, but the man with glasses next to him raised his hand to say hello before his face was slightly lagging. His movements were obviously to invite the fat man to come to them. Sure enough, after seeing Zhao Ping's movements clearly, Qiao Kedi completely turned around. God came, and what happened next was predictable. Seeing his teammates appear, the fat man didn't know what to do. He immediately showed joy and raised his feet to greet them. He approached the wall in a way that would not hinder the sheep's progress, until he bypassed the sheep and reached the two of them.
Obviously, the key reason why Qiao Kedi turned his worries into joy so quickly is that he did not meet ordinary people, but senior people. Indeed, for him personally, it is much better to meet senior people by chance than to meet new people, and with experience Having a rich veteran by his side is indeed tens of thousands of times better than being alone. Next, he only needs to follow two seniors. No, it should be said that the three of them follow the sheep in front.
"Ah! Captain, Mr. Zhao, why are you two here? And this sheep..."
Back to the topic, with full of joy and some doubts, as soon as the two sides met, the fat man was the first to greet and ask questions. Qiao Kedi tried to ask about the sheep, but before he could finish his words, He Fei interrupted with a wave of his hand, and then used a defensive tone. He asked Qiao Kedi and said: "Qiao Kedi, please wait for a moment. Now I want to ask you a question. You know the reason, and my question is..."
In order to distinguish the authenticity, as described above, He Fei conducted exploratory questioning of Qiao Kedi as usual. However, during the questioning process, neither He Fei nor Qiao Kedi discovered any details.
Beside the two of them, Zhao Ping slowly raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. During the movement, the man narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but stare at someone.
In fact, to be precise, there was one thing that the man with glasses had not noticed. At the same time, beside him, while holding his glasses, the man with glasses was asking Qiao Kedi a question. He Fei also inadvertently rolled his eyes, and then secretly glanced at himself. Man with side glasses.
………
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.
The early dead silence was broken by the sound of footsteps one after another. If you listen carefully, you will hear the sounds coming and going from far to near. When they get close to the top, they gradually become fainter and then disappear into the distance soon.
Some people are moving, some are groping, and the steps are maintained one after another, as if they will never stop, at least not until they find the exit.
But the above reality is not something worth being happy about for Peng Hu. That's because it took too long.
Yes, since they met the sheep by chance, he, Cheng Ying and Qian Xueling had been following the sheep through the maze for several hours. Although nothing happened during this period, somehow, the calmer it became. The current situation in Peng Hu's heart was getting stronger and stronger. He felt that he couldn't explain it. If he had to explain it, he could only summarize it with the intuition that he had learned through many tasks. Yes, the bald man has experienced it so far. Having participated in many supernatural missions, Peng Hu was definitely among the best in the entire team in terms of the number of missions he had participated in, not to mention other things. Therefore, based on his past experience, he admitted that this supernatural mission was indeed a standard ordinary level, but...
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
Just when Peng Hu was keeping an eye on the sheep and slowly following the sheep while his mind was filled with random thoughts, he noticed something strange and found that Qian Xueling's breathing was gradually becoming rapid.
Um?
Subconsciously looking at the other party, in the field of vision, he saw that although the beauty beside him was still walking at the same speed as himself and Cheng Ying, it was still obvious that the other party was not only breathing rapidly, but her face was also much paler than before, and her forehead was even further. Beads of sweat all over.
Seeing this, Peng Hu was immediately startled and hurriedly asked: "Hey, sister Xueling, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh, no, it's nothing."
Qian Xueling's poor condition also attracted the attention of her ex Feng Ying besides Peng Hu. Inadvertently, the girl turned back to look at him. Unlike Peng Hu, with just one glance, Cheng Ying understood and told Peng Hu the truth: " She’s exhausted.”
As soon as he said this, Peng Hu, who had been thinking wildly, suddenly realized. Yes, he had taken it too much for granted before. He took it for granted that Qian Xueling was the same as himself or Cheng Ying. That was so, but in fact Up? In fact, Qian Xueling can't compare to him and Cheng Ying in terms of physical strength alone. First of all, we must understand that before they entered the cursed space, one was a strong soldier and the other was a killer with excellent physique. Their qualities are far beyond those of ordinary people, except Qian Xueling. After all, she is just an ordinary white-collar worker in the real world. Even if she has been trained more or less in the cursed space, walking non-stop for several hours is still... After exhausting the opponent's physical strength, it would be strange if he could keep up with his physical strength by continuing to walk. To be honest, for now, not to mention Qian Xueling, even Peng Hu himself could faintly detect feelings of fatigue and hunger in his body.
So naturally, as soon as Cheng Ying finished speaking, the bald man made a move. He immediately walked to Qian Xueling without saying a word, bent down and gestured: "Girl, are you tired? Don't worry, come up, let me do it." I’ll carry you for a while.”
"Ah, Brother Peng, I... I can still leave, how can I let you..."
"Haha, why don't you refuse? I'm not an outsider. Let me tell you, this physical exertion is really nothing to me at the moment. Even if I carry you on my back, it won't have much impact on me!"
"Sister Xueling, please go up. Anyway, this guy's physique is extremely abnormal, and he has a lot of strength. There is no need to be humble to this bull, so rest when you need to!"
"Hey, what are you talking about, a sleepy pig like you? You have a weak mouth, don't you?"
As mentioned above, seeing Peng Hu trying to carry her on her back, Qian Xueling, fearing that it would increase the burden on the other party, hurriedly shook her head and tried to refuse. Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, the bald man had forcibly carried her on his back and continued walking. Cheng Ying even more She comforted others with an indifferent tone. Faced with such a result, she knew the good intentions of the two and no longer postponed it. After all, she was indeed very tired. The non-stop walking for several hours had almost exhausted her personal energy. In order to He had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on if he didn't fall behind. At that time, she really admired Cheng Ying and Peng Hu. Those two were in really good physical condition, and Peng Hu, who was already strong and burly, was just the real one. What surprised him was Cheng Ying. The opponent was obviously even slightly smaller than himself, but who would have thought that the opponent's petite body contained so much physical strength. He was worthy of being a professional killer and had a really strong physique.
Regardless of the physical condition of the three executors, at the same time, the three of them were right in front...
The sheep was silent and its movements were calm and calm. In other words, from the moment a few people chose to follow, this mysterious sheep that appeared out of nowhere made no sound from the beginning to the end. It moved forward slowly from beginning to end, leading the way. The three of them were walking through the criss-crossing maze passages one after another. Although it was just a cute sheep with an ordinary size, its physical fitness was so good that even Cheng Ying and Peng Hu were secretly stunned. In addition, there was another detail. It was noticed by several people that since they chose to follow the sheep, they have experienced a comfortable journey along the way. Not only have they not encountered the slightest danger, they have not even encountered a dead end that they often encountered when they were exploring on their own earlier. After getting such a result, whether it was Cheng Ying, Peng Hu or Qian Xueling, the three of them came to a vague conclusion in their hearts:
That is, the sheep is extraordinary. This sheep is definitely familiar with the layout of the maze!
That’s right, the above judgment is based on the gradual discovery over several hours, and this discovery is definitely good news for the executor. Yes, since the sheep is familiar with the maze and understands the internal environment, doesn’t it mean that the sheep are indeed Leading the way? Are you leading them to the exit of the maze?
Can……
Somehow, this obviously beneficial thing for the executor disappeared, and as he continued to move around, and with the passage of time, Peng Hu gradually became more and more panicked and unnatural.
Yes, leaving aside the others for the moment, only the bald man felt strange. He always felt that something was wrong, and always thought that he had overlooked something. This is true, but because the above are only personal thoughts, and in addition, he always felt that something was wrong. The truth was unclear, so he couldn't tell Cheng Ying or Qian Xueling directly, but...
As they followed, just as the bald man's thoughts became increasingly confused and his heart became increasingly entangled, the sheep stopped.
Five meters ahead, the white sheep that had been moving for hours and was always responsible for leading the way suddenly stopped, stopped moving, stopped walking, and stopped suddenly without warning while passing through a maze of lanes.
Because the sheep stopped too suddenly, Cheng Ying and the three people following behind were also caught off guard and stopped in a hurry. Then they looked suspicious and had question marks on their heads. For a while, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Qian Xueling were all on guard, and everyone was stunned. The three of them stared at the sheep in front of them that stopped moving for no reason.
"What!"
Suddenly, the sheep that had not brayed for a long time began to bray. After stopping, the sheep did not look back, but went straight towards the empty corridor ahead and let out a threatening cry!
There is no denying that none of the three Cheng Yings are zoologists and cannot understand animal behavior. However, they can still observe that the sheep's cry is obviously much louder than before.
Why did the sheep stop suddenly and why did they make an inexplicable noise? .
Answer? Don't know, don't understand.
Therefore, the three of them were confused and at a loss. They looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they couldn't understand what the sheep wanted.
The description is true, but unexpectedly, just when the three of them were puzzled, a sudden change occurred at the next moment!
Wow!
There was a sound coming from the corridor, first the sound of a breeze, and then an image appeared. A black figure appeared out of nowhere without any warning, appearing directly in front of the sheep out of thin air.
As the black figure was completely revealed, several people took a closer look. The next moment, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Qian Xueling's collective expressions changed drastically, their hearts trembled wildly, and their faces were instantly filled with fear. That was Because, seeing the clear figure, there was a hawk in front of me! ! !
It's a wolf, it's definitely a wolf!
Not to mention that the three of them are all executors who are familiar with worms. I believe that everyone will immediately come to the subjective judgment that the other party is a worm. Although the other party is humanoid, his body is obviously shriveled, and his skin is obviously black, just like a mummy. Not only that, the mummy has been floating in the air with its feet off the ground since it appeared out of thin air. After witnessing such a terrifying scene, it is estimated that anyone except the blind man can immediately make a judgment and conclude that the other party is undoubtedly a wolf!
