Chapter 53 [Exploration]
Ge Xian and his party continued to move forward, aiming naturally at the final exit of Calabash Valley. With his powerful spiritual knowledge, he discovered an oasis. The location did not match the location of the exit shown on the map in his hand.
"Strange, shouldn't the exit shown on the map be near here?" Shulao He Shuren pointed to a grassland on his map, which was called "Tianma Grassland", while the location indicated by Ge Xian was called " Oasis of Miracles”.
Flying Sword Immortal Li Xian and Penglai Fairy Hu Jiuniang also frowned, but they still stubbornly believed in Ge Xian's judgment. After all, he gave everyone too much confidence.
Yun Ziyi said: "Gexian, tell me the reason for your choice?" She is the only one here who can speak to Ge Xian like this. Although others are still unable to know the relationship between the two, it is obvious that Ziyi and Ge Xian The relationship between them goes beyond ordinary friends, but they are not lovers.
After coughing, Ge Xian told what he had discovered from the beginning. After hearing this, everyone was in disbelief. It turned out that the entire Hulu Valley they were in had deviated from its original position, and the place marked on the map was no longer there. It was exported, but because of the relationship between them, they were completely unable to sense it. Only cultivators with powerful spiritual consciousness like Ge Xian could detect it.
Afterwards, everyone headed towards the Miracle Oasis, walking in silence all the way. Nearly three days have passed since they entered here. Ge Xian was a little worried about the outside world. After all, his family thought that he was on vacation in the provincial capital. If they knew that he had left class, it would be difficult to explain.
However, Ge Xian is now quite famous. His ranking as No. 1 in the provincial college entrance examination is enough to reassure Ge's father and Ge's mother. Naturally, he will be given more freedom. Moreover, after Xu Xuan awards him a million-dollar scholarship, the family You will probably be immersed in a sea of joy.
Thinking of this, Ge Xian couldn't help but smile, full of pride. Being able to rely on his own abilities to make his family live a better life is the pride of all men.
Three hours later, everyone discovered the oasis. It was still somewhat different from the surrounding environment, but since it was a transformation by a rich man, it was understandable.
These rich people have built the back mountain of Zuifeng Mountain into a small world, where they have artificially created deserts, rainforests, hills, snow-capped mountains and other landscapes, so that they can enjoy various landscapes just by coming here.
Everyone stopped and repaired for half an hour, and then quietly approached the terminal station called Miracle Oasis.
I don’t know what the specific exit is yet, but as long as you are in this oasis, you will definitely be able to find it.
After scanning with Ge Xian's spiritual consciousness, he found that everything here was peaceful and there was nothing abnormal.
The oasis is not complicated. An artificially modified above-ground river passes through the oasis and divides it into two. There are only some docile animals and abundant vegetables and fruits on both sides.
However, there were dozens of barriers around the oasis, and Ge Xian felt the obstruction of the power grid, magnetic field, etc., and reminded everyone.
If they follow the established route, they will have to slowly pass through the passages of the power grid, which is as circuitous as a maze, and they don't know what kind of difficulties they will encounter.
"This barrier can be left to us." Ziyi and Li Xian took the initiative and said.
"Are you sure?" Ge Xian asked uncertainly.
If he were to crack it, it would be to directly destroy the power system supply and then tear it apart directly. However, the movement would be too loud, which would cause some bad consequences, and it would also make the place very conspicuous, so what is left Some opponents are likely to be attracted.
Ge Xian is confident. He is probably the only one who has discovered that the entire Hulu Valley is tilted. Others have not yet reacted. They will only become suspicious when they cannot find the exit at their original location. But at that time, they Already left here.
Li Xian is responsible for the specific construction and cutting of the barbed wire, while Ziyi is responsible for blocking through the system software interface and integrating software and hardware.
Sizzling...
The power grid sensed the trigger and started to activate the program. Suddenly, several blue arcs lit up, but they were obviously blocked by some force and could not get through. Ziyi's strength was evident.
Subsequently, the two small swords in Li Xian's hands became extremely sharp under the full infusion of zhenqi. At the same time, he began to cut the barbed wire attached to the power grid very accurately in the blocking area, one after another, his movements were as smooth as water. , which is very pleasing to the eye.
Ge Xian led everyone to follow Li Xian closely. Every time he cut the barbed wire in front of him, he would advance one level. Within a few minutes, they had advanced seven or eight floors. Finally, there was an empty space in front of them, and there were some strange things in the distance. The brilliance overflows in the oasis.
At this time, there was no longer any obstruction from the power grid, and Ziyi had also ended the interception. The current immediately filled the cut area, causing some of the beasts that came in behind to be instantly killed and burned into a pile of ashes.
Hu Jiuniang felt that although there was no obstacle ahead, the sense of crisis told her that if she stepped out rashly, she would fall into a place of eternal disaster.
She carefully threw a stone. At first, the stone was normal, but as soon as it entered the range of ten meters, the magnetic field defense was activated. In an instant, the stone was frozen, and then a force invisible to the naked eye penetrated the stone. It exploded out of its body and turned into powder instantly.
If it were a human being, it would probably have turned into meat paste at this moment, which made everyone feel chills in their hearts.
If you want to crack this level, you can no longer use tricks like before. You can only find the source that controls the magnetic output, destroy or control it, and then you can pass safely.
With Ge Xian's powerful spiritual consciousness, he quickly discovered the location of the switch. This time, Ge Xian decided to try it alone.
"Don't worry, my spiritual consciousness can resist a certain degree of magnetism, and I am the safest person." Ge Xian comforted, and then under the protection of everyone, he sat cross-legged, released his spiritual consciousness, and turned into a translucent stream again. The humanoid shadow flew towards the control room.
As soon as he entered the magnetic field, he immediately felt a sensation. Ge Xian quickly felt a huge force coming, and his spiritual consciousness was fixed in the air, making everyone's hearts rise to their throats.
However, the strange thing is that the power of the magnetic field, which was so powerful just now, seemed to have a greatly reduced effect on Ge Xian's spiritual consciousness. Ge Xian immediately continued to move. Due to the magnetic field, the air at this time seemed to solidify. He simply started running in the air. Although it was not as fast as before when his spiritual consciousness flew into the air, it was not slow either.
Seeing that he could still run fast in the powerful magnetic field, everyone cheered him up. At this time, several of them felt that it was very difficult to breathe, even outside the magnetic field.
Soon, Ge Xian approached the control room. He found that the closer he got, the harder it became, as if the two poles of a magnetic field were trying to repel him.
A powerful spiritual power came from the direction of Ge Xian's body, fell on his spiritual consciousness, and immediately formed a protective barrier, which offset a lot of the repulsive force from the outside world, and he could finally approach the control room again.
In front of the spiritual consciousness, circles of magnetic field power are continuously released through the control room, like ripples on water.
Ge Xian mobilized his spiritual power and punched the ground. The ground suddenly shook. Due to the magnetic force, his punch did not reach the control room.
He had no choice but to continue punching, constantly dispelling the magnetic force, and constantly approaching the core of the control room.
The physical body continued to provide spiritual power, and everyone found that he began to sweat, and the Baihui point on his head released bursts of green smoke, and they were all worried about him.
"Feed him some water." Zi Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of something.
He Shuren took out a bottle of mineral water from his luggage. He just unscrewed the cap and wanted to pour it into Ge Xian's mouth, but he found that the water inside seemed to be pulled by Ge Xian and was sucked in directly.
The bottle of water was quickly sucked up, and everyone took out their own water for Ge Xian to absorb. After a while, dozens of bottles of water, at least a dozen liters of water, were absorbed by him alone, but the effect was obvious. , the green smoke on his head gradually dissipated, and he seemed to be relieved.
The improvement of Ge Xian's physical condition significantly increased the combat power of his spiritual incarnation on the other side. After more than ten minutes of attack, finally, the energy of the magnetic field also consumed a huge amount and began to decrease.
He was so happy that he did not dare to reserve his strength and continued to mobilize more spiritual power to attack the control room.
Bang!
As the force of the last punch punched hard into the control room, a sound of destruction came from inside, and then like a switch being turned off, the entire magnetic field disappeared instantly.
That huge power disappeared instantly, and Ge Xian's spiritual consciousness rose into the sky again, and then flew back to his physical body.
Opening his eyes and seeing everyone looking at him, Ge Xian smiled and said with sweat, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Seeing that at such a young age, he has the air of a general, and his character is not arrogant, everyone's impression of him has once again risen to a new level.
This time the five people passed through the defensive square without a magnetic field, and finally smelled the breath of the oasis. A chill spread to everyone. Even if they knew there was danger inside, they probably couldn't stop everyone from wanting to break in and enjoy it. .
The river water is very clean and seems to have been filtered. There should be filtering facilities under the river. It seems that you can drink it directly.
There are all kinds of fruits and vegetables growing on both sides, and there are no large beasts, let alone ferocious beasts.
After scanning with his spiritual sense, Ge Xian found nothing wrong and agreed to everyone's request to rest.
He took Hu Jiuniang and Li Xian to explore other areas, leaving Shu Lao and Zi Yi to set up a temporary camp nearby and collect food at the same time.
The river is not long, only three or four kilometers to the end. The oasis has heavy human traces, but they still haven't found a way out.
"The original exit seems to be a cave. You just need to find it and go through it. But now that the location has changed, it is difficult to find, and there is no cave at all in the oasis." Hu Jiuniang said a little tiredly, after these two After three days of torture, everyone was tired of it. After all, this kind of killing and escape game was extremely offensive to their seniors who were already tired of fighting in the world. It is estimated that after this mission is over, there should be no one here. Never accept another challenge like this.
Li Xian held his chin and scanned the river in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.
Ge Xian found that even if he had spiritual consciousness, he was not omnipotent. After all, the exit was just a place, and there was nothing special about it. If he wanted to find it, he might still have to rely on his wisdom to distinguish it.
"Doors...why do I always think of doors and other existences when I think of exits, such as holes, pipes, passages, etc. Don't other forms count as exits?" Ge Xian said to himself. road.
Li Xian's brows on the side deepened, and a typical "Chuan" character formed between his eyebrows, while Hu Jiuniang smiled and said: "Maybe it's human common sense that limits our cognition. I think it might be possible." If you make a bold assumption, for example, if you go to the sky, the sky is the exit, or if you go to the earth, the ground under your feet is also the exit."
"Well, that's what I said, but it seems unrealistic." Ge Xian smiled politely.
"No, no, I'm just making an analogy." Hu Jiuniang feels that every time she teases this shy young man with superior strength, it is still very interesting in life, especially when the two of them had such an ambiguous relationship in the cold quicksand. A night of cuddling.
In the end, the three of them returned without success, but Li Xian seemed a little confused and felt that he had forgotten some important details.
Fortunately, Shu Lao and Zi Yi entertained the three of them with sumptuous food, which quickly made their mood reach its peak.
The richness of food materials in the oasis is completely unimaginable. It is simply like picking a vegetable garden. A simple meal, everyone's stomach became bloated after eating it. It was rare for Ge Xian to eat a little too much. It was really rare these days. It was a bit uncomfortable.
Around the bonfire, another night falls. Three whole days have passed here. Tomorrow will be the fourth day. I don’t know how many people will be able to get out of here alive in the end. Since no exit has been found, everyone’s mood is so high after the delicious food. , and finally recovered slowly.
In the woods not far away, a shadow stood up from the soil, looked at Ge Xian and the others, and said through gritted teeth: "Wait a little longer, until you find the exit, I won't let you leave here alive." Then, this person The man turned into a shadow and burrowed into the ground.
"Everyone, since we have come here, we will surely find the exit sooner or later. Don't be discouraged by the temporary difficulties. Tomorrow we will continue to expand the search area and search every inch of grass as much as possible." Ge Xian, as the captain , at this time, he took the initiative to boost morale. Sure enough, under his influence, everyone's morale recovered a little.
This time, Shu Lao and Li Xian were in charge of the night watch. The two ladies had rested early and were exhausted from the past few days, so the two women slept deeply, probably because the three of Ge Xian were enough to protect them.
Ge Xian is still the same as before, practicing and meditating. The effect of practicing is much better than sleeping, and he has long been used to it.
Because he had to deal with the magnetic field during the day, he consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy. After entering the practice, all of Ge Xian's attention was temporarily focused on absorbing and refining spiritual energy. The spiritual energy here in the oasis is about 10% higher than the previous mountain, which makes Ge Xian quite satisfied.
Three people were on night watch, and one person was on duty for almost three or four hours. Ge Xian was arranged to be the last one. It made no difference to most people when they were most sleepy.
Shu Lao was the first to stay on duty, and Li Xian was the second. In the second half of the night, when Ge Xian got up to replace him, he found that Li Xian's eyes already had dark circles. Could it be that his injury was not healed yet?
"Brother Li, are you too tired?" Ge Xian asked curiously.
He shook his head and wanted to say something, but didn't seem to know where to start.
"It may be that your injury is not fully healed yet. Go and rest quickly." Ge Xian comforted him.
Li Xian nodded, but after walking a few steps, he turned around again and said to Ge Xian in a confused manner: "Is the exit always the exit?"
After Li Xian left, Ge Xian was affected by his words. When he looked up at the night sky, he felt a little distracted.
"Brother Li has probably been thinking about where the exit is, or what kind of form it is. Could it be that the person who originally designed this exit designed more than one exit? The exit indicated on the map should be the simplest and can be used by mortals. There is no exit, but Yin Zhengtian must have blocked this road, so that means we have to find another exit?" Thinking of this, Ge Xian's spiritual consciousness spread again and began to sweep around the oasis and even around the oasis.
This time, he didn't have any specific goal, he just wanted to find the answer, so he was unrestrained. This allowed his spiritual consciousness to expand to an astonishing level, and sometimes he could sweep across the Calabash Valley with a single thought.
The Thousand Machine Blade in his body also sensed the evolution of Ge Xian's spiritual consciousness at this time, and couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is making great progress. It won't be long before his spiritual consciousness will evolve into divine consciousness. By then, I'm afraid he will become The number one person innate, even those geniuses in the spiritual world, must bow before him."
For Ge Xian, this evolution of spiritual consciousness has no special feeling. He just feels that his spiritual consciousness is getting stronger and stronger, and he can sweep across the entire Gourd Valley in an instant.
This time, the entire Hulu Valley terrain appeared in his mind again. Compared with the shape on the map, it had once again shifted a lot counterclockwise. Compared with its earliest position, the entire terrain was rotated ninety degrees counterclockwise. All The direction has undergone earth-shaking changes.
A flash of lightning flashed through his mind, as if breaking through the barrier of cognition, making his eyes suddenly open.
"A mirage...like an illusion...it turns out that we have already found the exit, but our eyes were blocked by the fog in front of us. No matter how we look for the exit, we can't find it because we are in a dream." At this moment, Ge Xian felt His spiritual consciousness suddenly rose into the sky, flew very high, rushed out of the oasis, rushed towards the sky, broke through again, and suddenly the glow was brilliant.
In the rays of light, he saw a man in a white long-sleeved robe with long, slender hair. He was looking at him with a half-smile.
"What do you call fellow Taoist?" the man asked first.
Ge Xian immediately replied: "Junior Ge Xian, pay my respects to my senior."
"Tian Chenzi, a poor Taoist, has been refining elixirs here for decades. Unexpectedly, today I met someone from the same Taoism." The feeling the man gave people was not that of oppression, but a kind of warmth like running water.
