It is impossible to explain, at least not yet.
So when the three people didn't get the answers they wanted from Qi Zhen and Li Qiang, they didn't feel too disappointed.
After all, in the game, Li Qiang and Qi Zhen's considerations are probably much deeper than those of the three of them.
It's just that I'm still a little curious.
Then several people walked through the main hall and came to the illusion barrier arranged by Jade Yao.
The magical thing about the so-called illusion barrier is that even if you walk up to it, as long as you don't step directly across the boundary, there will be no incongruity in the feedback of the scene in front of you, just like it is real.
So when the scene in front of everyone suddenly changed from the red walls and green tiles in the inner courtyard of the palace to a dark mountain of rocks and rock walls, even if they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by Princess Yuyao's methods.
Stripped of the illusion, the scenery here actually feels a bit like an underground tomb.
Of course, the walls and mountains here still have a lot of support to prevent things like landslides from happening due to the influence of external forces.
The dark stone walls also clearly have some traces of artificial modification.
Finally, there is more of a sense of calmness and solemnity, less of the fireworks in the world, and less of the inexplicable magnificence and rich decorations.
Everyone began to look around for clues to see if there was a way to somewhere else, or some clues that could trigger the next plot.
Of course, except Xiao Ao.
Others have become accustomed to this matter, and when they see the white-clothed figure behind his hands behind his back, they are all speechless.
Facts proved that Qi Zhen's guess was correct. After searching around for a long time, Meng Ran took the lead and found an unusual place in front of the mountain valley on one side.
A well-organized institution.
This valley is really neatly made, as if a piece of the mountain here was deliberately cut out to form a space in front of me that seems to be nearly one hundred square meters.
The location of the mechanism is right in the center of the wall in the middle of the valley in front of the team.
When he heard Meng Ran calling others to him in an unbelievable tone and saw the boxy mechanism in front of him, even a calm man like Li Qiang couldn't help but feel a trace of astonishment on his face.
Mainly because this mechanism is too familiar to everyone.
In the previous life, this institution had a very magical name, called Huarong Dao.
Huarong Road is the road that Cao Cao took when he was defeated during the Three Kingdoms period. I don’t know if it was inspired by this story, but later generations created this little puzzle game.
Of course, there is no Three Kingdoms in this world, and naturally there is no Cao Cao, so on those large and small squares, all that are marked are uppercase and traditional numbers.
But the meaning is almost the same.
Huarong Road has a chessboard with twenty small squares. Players need to move each chess piece to help the largest chess piece above move from the initial position to the bottom of the entire mechanism and escape from the exit. While you are not allowed to cross the chess pieces, you must also find ways to move the largest chess piece to the exit in the least number of steps.
In the game in his previous life, Cao Cao's biggest obstacle to escaping from Huarong Road was Guan Yu. Guan Yu immediately mounted Huarong Road, one man was in charge of the pass, and ten thousand people could not break it.
Therefore, the chess piece occupying two grids in the middle usually has the word Guan Yu written on it. How to solve it becomes the key to unlocking this mechanism.
And here, the word written on this chess piece is eight.
And on the largest chess piece representing Cao Cao, it says "Shi".
There are only ten boxes of different sizes, occupying the twenty fixed grids of the entire mechanism. The two empty grids are the spaces that can be moved.
This puzzle game is very interesting and not very difficult. As long as there is enough time, everyone in the team should be able to solve this mechanism.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I can do this!"
Yu Liang stepped forward carelessly and moved the smallest block with three written on it one space downwards in the mechanism in front of him.
As Yu Liang moved the inconspicuous small square in front of him, the ground under the team's feet began to tremble.
After a sound of machine springs, a rumbling sound echoed throughout the space.
Yu Liang was so frightened that he quickly stopped moving his hand.
"What's going on?" Yu Liang asked quickly.
When Qi Zhen heard these voices, she showed a hint of surprise on her face and said softly: "We may have encountered the real thing."
If they meet the real one, naturally it doesn't mean that the team has met the real Huarong Dao and has to fight Liu Bei's army again.
But what Qi Zhen said, except Xiao Ao, everyone else understood what Qi Zhen meant instantly.
The square chessboard in front of me is somehow related to the mountain here, or it is part of the mechanism and was built this way on purpose.
The current team is probably at the place where it was picked up. Once the positions of the small squares in front of them are adjusted, the mountains here will also move accordingly.
Until the team walks out.
This is much more advanced than ordinary Huarong Dao games.
After listening to Qi Zhen's explanation, everyone gradually felt relieved. Yu Liang, who was afraid that he had just caused some serious trouble, also let out a sigh of relief at this moment.
Fortunately, no unpredictable danger will happen to the team.
Just before Yu Liang finished breathing, there was a sudden click next to the Huarongdao chessboard in front of him, revealing three engraved numbers.
Jiu Shi Jiu.
Then the last character "9" was turned upwards and became "eight".
Under these three words, three engraved numbers also appeared with a clicking sound. It read eighty-one, and then it changed to eighty-one and stopped moving.
Even a fool knows what this means.
Before the countdown of ninety-nine numbers is completed, the team must complete the game within eighty-one steps. If not, the result is unknown.
"Fuck!" Yu Liang shouted.
Naturally, no one wants to try what will happen after the countdown reaches zero zero zero.
So Qi Zhen said "I will come" at this time as a matter of course.
No one competed with him.
As the chess pieces in front of them continued to move, rumbling sounds began to echo in everyone's ears.
At the same time, a layer of dense sweat gradually formed on Qi Zhen's forehead.
When Qi Zhen moved the square with the word "Shi" written on it, the wall in front of everyone also moved accordingly.
The team can only move together.
Qi Zhen seemed relaxed and happy, but in fact, no one could explain the tension in her heart.
He just doesn't want to make his teammates anxious.
Needless to say, Xiao Ao, neither Li Qiang nor the other three people actually have a deeper understanding of this game than Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen's understanding of games, or to be precise, these small puzzle games, is much higher than his ability to play large-scale games.
As for the game in front of her called Huarong Dao, Qi Zhen happened to have a very deep understanding of the game.
The standard three-horizontal Huarong Tao in front of us has been studied by senior game players for many years. There are hundreds of steps to solve it in China. After continuous exploration, it was reduced to 82 steps. Finally, it relied on the deduction of modern scientific computers to solve it. Eighty-two steps reduced to eighty-one steps.
In other words, the Huarong Road that the team is facing now is the most complex state of the game.
No one knows the anguish and shock that Qi Zhen felt when she saw the number eighty-one.
Just like now, no one can understand Qi Zhen's caution when moving the chess pieces.
Others are only worried that the last ninety-nine number above is decreasing bit by bit, but it is difficult to understand that the number eighty-one is the most fatal number for everyone now.
The first three numbers engraved on it changed from nine to eight, and then to seven.
However, the position behind the team was just blocked by the mountains representing Landing, Two and Four respectively.
Qi Zhen stopped what she was doing at this moment.
"Why did you stop?" Yu Liang asked.
Qi Zhen wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves and stared at the chessboard in front of her.
The three characters representing the number of steps have now become Wu Shijiu.
"Let me think about it." Qi Zhen said lightly.
Qi Zhen closed her eyes uncharacteristically at this time, and began to deduce silently in her heart. The appearance of the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of her was deeply engraved in his heart.
It’s definitely possible. You’ll have no problem figuring it out with your own mental strength!
The positions of the chess pieces on the virtual chessboard in my mind kept changing, and it gradually became clear.
Got it! Qi Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up!
Eighty-one steps, no more, no less!
"Is this difficult?" Yu Liang suddenly asked.
Qi Zhen nodded, then looked shocked!
It turned out that Xiao Ao came to the chessboard at some point and moved back the square with 2 that Qi Zhen had just moved.
Then he looked back. As he moved, the mountain behind him began to move, revealing the space behind him.
Qi Zhen looked at the engraved number that had turned into five and eight, and her face turned pale.
"Look at the back." Xiao Ao suddenly said at this time.
After hearing this, everyone looked back and saw the place where they had stood just now.
Xiao Ao's true form was an owl, and his vision at night was naturally very sharp. He saw a palm-sized pattern in an inconspicuous place on the ground.
If it hadn't been for Xiao Ao's reminder, no one would have been able to discover this.
It was a mark that looked like a flame,
Yu Liang nodded: "It seems there is something unusual underground. Can you see anything?"
Xiao Ao thought for a while and shook his head.
Qi Zhen didn't look back at all, he just closed his eyes again.
After Xiao Ao moved this step, the puzzle that could be solved in eighty-one steps was instantly reduced to seventy-nine steps. This time, it was equivalent to wasting two steps.
The countdown moment is now less than five...
Si Shijiu, Si Shiba...
