Seeing Peng Hu suddenly talking about personnel issues, the next moment, everyone including He Fei, who was just shocked at the logic of survival, changed their minds, and then showed blank expressions. Just as Kong Ling said above, if the few confirmed dead are excluded Newcomers, the Shenzhou team has now reunited, but it is not considered a full gathering. The reason is that there are still members who have not arrived. Let’s not talk about the female newcomer named Wang Siqi, but what about Chen Xiaoyao? Where is Li Tianheng? Why haven't they come over yet?
"Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng..." Thinking of this and murmuring their names several times, He Fei raised his head and looked at everyone. As far as he could see, except for Hui Jue, who was doing the whole process of cross-legged exercises to heal his injuries, Peng Hu and Cheng Ying , Tang Meng, Tao Mei, Hui Jue and Gao Chengliang, everyone shook their heads slightly to express ignorance. Seeing that everyone's reaction was almost unanimous, then, prompted by some unknown thoughts, He Fei continued to observe without saying a word, his gaze continued He shifted and finally looked at Zhao Ping, who was expressionless next to him.
Noticing that He Fei was looking at him, Zhao Ping adjusted the bridge of his nose and glasses. He didn't speak, but just shook his head.
The bespectacled man's silent shaking of his head was noticed by Chen Shuihong, who looked confused throughout the whole process, which caused the fat man's already troubled heart to turn upside down. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping did not disclose the matter of the second Earth-bound spirit! Why? Could it be that he thinks...
It is often said that the smarter a person is, the better his understanding will be. This is very true. Chen Shuihong may not be very good at finding ways to survive, solving puzzles, etc., but his ability to figure out people's hearts is rare in the world. After just a little thought, The fat man basically understood what Zhao Ping meant.
I remember that after the two of them escaped from the ban and returned to the maze, Zhao Ping analyzed the giant female ghost and finally concluded that the giant female ghost could not leave the room, that is, she did not have the ability to actively appear in the maze. If the giant female ghost If she wants to kill people, she can only use illusions to lure humans into the house where she occupies, and then she can slaughter the prey in the room. However, if humans do not enter, the giant female ghost has no ability to attack people outside the house. Compared with the female ghost in palace clothes who can only move at will, there is a big difference between the two. At present, everyone has escaped from the maze, and the most troublesome female ghost in palace clothes has also been solved. In addition, there is a blood-colored weapon on the edge of the maze that specifically seals ghosts. Wedding dress, so in a sense, as long as the executor is out of the maze, the executor is safe, and there is no need to mention the other earth-bound spirit that cannot take the initiative to show up.
After all, there is a saying that says too much leads to mistakes. In order to cover up the matter between Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng, there is really no need for the man with glasses to announce the second earthbound spirit.
The above is Chen Shuihong's personal speculation on Zhao Ping's thoughts. There is no denying that Chen Shuihong guessed it almost exactly, and Zhao Ping thought the same way. Unfortunately, the middle-aged fat man still missed one thing, that is...
Zhao Ping also thought of Chen Xiaoyao who went out to seek revenge from ghosts not long ago! .
In addition, compared to Chen Shuihong, Zhao Ping knew Chen Xiaoyao better. Not only did he know that Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng had a great relationship, but he also knew Chen Xiaoyao's strength better than anyone else. In fact, in Zhao Ping's heart at this moment, he already A guess emerged vaguely, an astonishingly bold guess!
It was precisely because of that bold conjecture that Zhao Ping didn't mention that there was a second earth-bound spirit in the maze. It wasn't because he didn't want to say it, but because there was no need to say it.
Maybe there’s really nothing to say…
Seeing that Zhao Ping also didn't know the whereabouts of Chen Xiaoyao and Chen Xiaoyao, He Fei frowned, looked down at his watch, and saw that the time had reached two o'clock in the morning. After looking at the time, He Fei decisively raised his ring, and then He shouted towards the ring: "Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng! I am He Fei, where are you? Can you hear me?"
"Hey! Did you two hear that? Why don't you come over and gather!?"
Under everyone's gaze, He Fei opened the spiritual connection and kept calling the two of them through all-staff communication. Unfortunately, after calling for a long time, no response came from his mind. .
Finally, seeing that Chen and Li had not responded for a long time, worry appeared on He Fei's face. Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Tang Meng, Kong Ling and other senior people also showed worried looks. This was both a reasonable reaction and an inevitable result. , unlike newcomers who have no feelings because they have just met, Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng are their old teammates and have deep feelings with them. If an accident happened to them, the blow to everyone would be indescribable. Fortunately, everyone
Everyone is a rational person who pays attention to evidence. Even if there is no response, it does not actually mean that the situation has reached the worst level. Therefore, with frustration and uneasiness, Cheng Ying raised a question: "Is there something abnormal in the maze? That caused them to leave. Can’t get out of the maze? Can’t even receive spiritual connection?”
In fact, Cheng Ying's guess is the most reasonable one at present. There is no denying that mind connection has the effect of immunity to supernatural interference, but mind connection is not 100% immune to interference. There have been cases where mind connection failed for no reason before, so...
"Well, I think that's it. After all, there have been cases where the spiritual connection has occasionally failed in the past." Stroking her bandaged chin, Cheng Ying had just finished speaking. Peng Hu nodded in agreement, and Tang Meng next to him also nodded. Then he said in an uncertain tone: "Although everyone knows that the spiritual connection occasionally fails, but..."
At this point, the conversation changed: "But even if the spiritual connection suddenly failed under the influence of some abnormal changes, resulting in the two of them being unable to receive He Fei's notice, Chen Xiaoyao is a Taoist priest who is proficient in formations after all. Now even we laymen are out of it." After entering the maze, why didn’t Chen Xiaoyao come out?"
"Sister Tang Meng is right! Although Li Haotiou doesn't have the ability to get out of the maze, Chen Ruffian shouldn't. This guy is more proficient in formations than any of us. Now even we have come out, and Chen Ruffian should have been the first to come out. Why didn't you come out? Things are a bit weird!"
Not to mention, after listening to Tang Meng's logical questioning, Kong Ling was the first to speak up and agree. Others also thought that this was reasonable, and the logic was just as Tang Meng said. Even if the maze suddenly became abnormal and Chen and Li were unable to receive the soul, Connection, but at least Chen Xiaoyao is capable of getting out of the maze. It can even be said that Chen Xiaoyao is the first one to escape from the maze in theory. Since the truth is correct, then why...
At this point in the discussion, everyone who was already confused gradually became more confused and remained at a loss. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one could find the answer from the other person's face. However, it was precisely because Chen could not be found. Peng Hu couldn't sit still at first when he found out the answer to Li and Li's missing contact, and his temper suddenly rose. However, just when the bald man was about to propose returning to the maze to look for the two of them, across from him, Zhao Ping, who had been silent throughout the whole process, suddenly He opened his mouth and told everyone including He Fei a piece of personal speculation: "This maze and even the entire Diling Tomb were designed and built by the famous Yuan Tiangang. There are a lot of mysteries hidden inside. Maybe Chen Xiaoyao and the others are not waiting for it." In the maze, but have you left the maze long ago? Leave through other hidden passages."
Huh?
What kind of leapfrogging thinking? This is called leaping thinking. Sure enough, after listening to Zhao Ping's logical guess, which can be called Xinyi's, Peng Hu, except Tao Mei and the newcomer, was suddenly startled. Next to him were Cheng Ying, Tang Meng, Kong Ling and even He Fei. They were stunned for a moment unconsciously. Obviously, because all the smart people present were smart people with excellent minds, they quickly understood what Zhao Ping meant. To put it simply, it can be understood that because the person who designed the maze and even the entire Di Tomb was a person in history. The famous Xuanmen master Yuan Tiangang, so no one can guarantee that the maze has only one exit. What if the maze also hides other connecting passages that can go deep into the tomb? If this is the case, then Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng, who have lost contact, are likely to enter the hidden passage.
what does that mean? It's very simple. It means that if Zhao Ping's guess is correct, then there is no need for everyone to return to the maze to look for the two people at this moment. Forcibly searching will only be a waste of time, not to mention that the female ghost in palace costume has been sealed, so for now, Even if they don't look for him, Chen and Li will not be in danger. .
In fact, to be honest, when the threat of ghosts has disappeared, everyone is not necessarily looking for Chen Xiaoyao and the others. Everyone is just worried about the safety of the two of them. If they can be sure that they are safe, it doesn't matter whether they are found or not. After all, the mission It's not over yet, and the team will continue to go deep into the underground mausoleum to find the crucial soul-fixing bead.
"Huh? What you said, Zhao Ping, seems to make sense. If they go away from other places, wouldn't it be useless for us to go back and search for them now?" As expected, after thinking about it, Zhao Ping felt very happy. After guessing his point of view, Peng Hu had some thoughts. Cheng Ying, Tang Meng and Kong Ling next to him also came up with similar thoughts. Seeing Peng Hu nodding first, he continued to think about it for a while, and soon Cheng Ying also showed a thoughtful expression. Expression, so he asked He Fei tentatively: "Then what do you mean..."
Cheng Ying did not wait for He Fei in the end.
The answer was not that He Fei didn't answer, but that before he could speak, there was a sudden sound outside the door, and a series of panicked footsteps rushing towards him! .
The panicked footsteps moved from far to near, and they were obviously running towards the tomb. Sure enough, as soon as they heard the sound, everyone was not only instinctively alert, but many people were also expecting in their hearts, subconsciously thinking that the people coming were Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng, but...
As the footsteps outside the door got closer and closer, a few moments later, several faces that were still impressive even though they were not teammates came directly into everyone's eyes.
"Eh? Abdullah!?"
"Ah, it's the Shenzhou team! Brother He Fei, you are here! I found you, I finally found you!"
As mentioned above, the person currently appearing at the door of the tomb is neither Chen Xiaoyao nor Li Tianheng, but Abdullah and others, who are the executors of the Arab team!
Yes, since the two teams were separated by the female ghost using space abilities a few hours ago, except for a few people who happened to meet in the maze, the two parties have lost contact and have never met again during this period, so they were forced to enter. In the unfavorable situation of fighting on their own, in order to escape from the complex maze as soon as possible, the members of the Shenzhou team headed by He Fei have been doing their best to find an exit. Why is Arabdu, who is also aware of the dangers of the maze, not searching frantically? That is true, but the search methods of the two sides are very different. Since the Shenzhou team is all Chinese, in a sense, the Shenzhou team has a slight advantage, and their understanding of Eastern culture is destined to be in On the Arabian team, as time passed, some senior members of the Shenzhou team gradually discovered Ni Duan. He Fei, who was most influenced by Chen Xiaoyao, simply discovered the formation, and finally locked the exit of the maze. The Shenzhou team gradually became aware of it. The exit was locked, but the members of the Arab team headed by Abdullah were in misery!
First of all, it is certain that, like the senior players on the Shenzhou team, whether it is Abdullah, Ives, or the old man named Haller, they are also seniors, and they have no less seniority than the Shenzhou team. If not for this, they would not be alive today. Although the truth is correct, they are foreigners after all, and their understanding of Eastern culture is shallow. Even Ives, who is a wise man, has limited understanding. , so naturally, they couldn't find Ni Duan, they couldn't find the formation, and they couldn't even find the exit of the maze. From the beginning to now, they had been walking blindly, running around in the complicated maze, and they were in panic all day long. , although I met acquaintances during the period, I met Osborne, my teammate on the same team, and I did not meet any senior members of the Shenzhou team from beginning to end. .
Of course, as the saying goes, it is a blessing to lose a horse. Although the Arabian team was unable to get out of the complex maze because they did not understand Eastern culture, and the four of them were running around and busy, they had another Chinese team. The advantage he didn't have was none other than the old man Haller's perception!
Relying on the old man's miraculous perception ability, the Arab team can detect danger in advance. To put it bluntly, it can detect ghosts in advance! As long as there is a spirit approaching, Haller will issue a warning, and then evacuate immediately to stay away from danger. Yes, it is precisely using this unique perception that during the few hours trapped in the maze, if the Shenzhou team has been surrounded by dangers , encountered ghosts frequently, but the four people headed by Abdullah were safe throughout the whole journey and were never attacked by ghosts. This is not over yet. They still relied on the old man's perception to finally get out of the maze!
Half an hour ago, when the four of them were exhausted and even about to die in the maze, Haller suddenly sensed something and found that there were two groups of life fluctuations that were different from spiritual bodies nearby that were moving quickly, and the ones passing nearby at that time were... It happened to be Zhao Ping and Chen Shuihong. Although Haller did not know the specific identity of the life wave, the old man was sure that it was a human being and most likely a member of the Shenzhou team. So, with a glimmer of hope, the four of them hurried to Haller's Following the leader, he finally succeeded in leaving the maze and arrived at the connecting passage representing the exit. Now he appeared in front of the tomb chamber door at the end of the passage.
At this moment, under the gaze of He Fei and others, Abdullah, Ives, Haller and the short man named Osborne were standing at the door. The result was certain. As the two sides met again, Leaving aside the reaction of He Fei and others, at least Abdullah and the others took a long breath, and now they are even more excited! .
As soon as he came to He Fei, Abdullah gave He Fei a big bear hug, which perfectly explained what true temperament is.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the two sides have finally reunited. At least most of the senior people on both sides have reunited. As for some of the senior people who did not come and those newcomers? It's probably more bad luck than good...
As the two teams regrouped, the two captains began to talk, and then exchanged information in a tacit understanding. Next, with He Fei and Abdullah's respective narrations, the two sides understood each other's situation, and Xu already trusted them. For the Shenzhou team, Abdullah told He Fei unreservedly about Haller's perception ability, and stated that they relied on the old man's perception to escape from the maze. He Fei, who also believed that the Arab team had no malicious intent, also subsequently told He Fei about his team's general perception. I told Abdullah and others about my experience, and finally told a few people the big news, that is, the ghost has been solved, and the earth-bound spirit with great magical powers has been sealed. For now, the executor is safe. Got it!
Sure enough, after learning that the earthbound spirit that had never been seen before but definitely existed was actually solved by the Shenzhou team, and the thing that solved the ghost was a piece of clothing, for a while, whether it was Abdullah, Ives or Haller, and Osborne, the four of them were shocked beyond belief. Unexpectedly, the Shenzhou team found a way out in advance. Not only did they find a way out, but the bald man named Peng Hu also used his body as a bait to lure the ghost, in a completely gambling way. Sealing it is indeed a team whose overall strength is superior to our own. The Shenzhou team is indeed powerful! .
At the same time, if Abdullah and others are currently sighing at the extraordinary strength of the Shenzhou team, then everyone headed by He Fei is also in a state of surprise. The root cause is the old man named Haller. They did not expect that There is actually a sentient member of the Arabian team. The old man looks ordinary, but unexpectedly he has the ability to perceive something like a ghost! After all, in everyone's impression, the ability to perceive seems to be possessed only by evil ghosts who are spirits. They never thought that the ugly old man in front of them had abilities similar to those of ghosts. As an aside, the ethereal eyes and Chen Xiaoyao's Taoism Dharma is actually a kind of perception in a sense, but strictly speaking it can only be regarded as aspect perception, which belongs to the perceptual exploration in a single direction, such as the ethereal Sky Eye. Although the powerful Sky Eye can indeed see through illusions and peer into the truth, But it is only visual perception, and many of Chen Xiaoyao's sensory Taoist techniques can only detect spirits, and the success rate has always been low. But Haller is different, because the old man's perception is all-round. Contains all spiritual perceptions!
When the old man activates his spiritual consciousness, all nearby beings can detect the perception. Not only can he detect ghosts and spirits, but he can also detect humans and other creatures, and at the same time lock the specific location! What's even more amazing is that as long as he has enough mental power, the old man can even expand his range of perception infinitely! .
Of course, the premise is that the old man has sufficient mental strength. In fact, at Haller's current age, his range of perception is definitely not that big. This is the guess and the fact. Due to his age and reduced energy, the best he can do now is It spreads within half a kilometer, and activating the spiritual consciousness consumes a lot of money. As early as when traveling through the maze, the old man was forced to reduce the range of the spiritual consciousness due to excessive consumption, and could only barely maintain a range of 100 meters.
I understand, I understand completely. No wonder the Arab team can persist in the cursed space until now. It turns out that this team actually has a humanoid radar! This is like turning on the full-map plug-in when playing a game. While other players are still carefully exploring the path in the dark, you are fully aware of the surrounding environment, and you also know the locations of other players and even monsters. Even if this full-map function does not mean victory is certain, it will still give you some advantages, and the chance of completing the task will naturally increase.
Thinking of this, everyone, including He Fei, besides secretly marveling, also cast their eyes on Haller. Among them, Ethereal was the most direct. After learning that the old man actually had ghost-like sensory abilities, the girl suddenly became interested and jumped up and down. He came to Haller's side and said to the old man who was showing his fatigue: "Grandpa, your health is not very good. If you can, it's best not to force yourself. The feeling of exhaustion is very uncomfortable. , Oh, and..."
Through his own personal experience, he first told Haller to pay attention to his health. There was nothing wrong with his words, but it was a sign of caring for the old man. However, as he spoke, before the old man could respond, Kong Ling changed the topic and said, "Let's go." Haller and even everyone were suddenly surprised and said: "Grandpa, you are in danger now, you'd better be more vigilant next time."
Huh?
Except for the newcomers and members of the Shenzhou team, no one could understand the meaning of Kong Ling's words. It was precisely because of the temporary inability to understand. As soon as the girl said this, Abdullah couldn't help but be startled. Next to him, Ives and Osborne also appeared one after another. Shocked expression, what's going on? Why did this girl from the Chinese team named Kong Ling suddenly say that Haller was in danger? He even specifically reminded Haller to pay attention to safety? Wasn't that earthbound spirit sealed? .
As mentioned above, because they really couldn’t understand what Kong Ling meant, Abdullah and the others looked at each other in confusion. However, the members of the Shenzhou team headed by He Fei knew very well that Kong Ling’s eyes were very special and could see dangerous dead energy. , that is to say, whoever will encounter fatal danger in the future will be shrouded in red light in ethereal eyes, and the greater the danger, the greater the range of red light. At this moment, in ethereal eyes, no matter who it is, Whether it was the Chinese team or the Arab team, everyone's heads were shrouded in a dense red light. It is true that after the female ghost in palace clothes was sealed, the red light above everyone's heads briefly disappeared, but the strange thing is...
Just a moment later, the red light that disappeared earlier reappeared and enveloped everyone again, among which Haller's red light was the strongest!
As for Haller…
Facing the girl's inexplicable kind reminder, the old man frowned, and his old face seemed to have changed. Although the slight change in his expression was a fact, he didn't ask anything in the end. He just raised his hand and touched Kong Ling's head, while nodding towards Kong Ling. He responded: "Well, I understand, thank you little girl."
