Chapter 22: Maze

We watched the mummified corpse as if it were inflatable, and all parts of the body were gradually filling up. Lao Li's head opened his eyes wide and asked, "Who was angry with him just now?" Everyone shook their heads and said no. Only Long Tianyang Nuonuo said, "I, I just saw him behind me and just shouted."

"Ouch!" At this time, Lao Li stamped his foot and said, "I talked outside for a long time, but I still messed it up." After saying that, he ran down first. I don't know. The old guy didn't run so fast when he saw the blood corpse just now. Now it's good, like a rabbit. I wink at the magic stick and the doctor. I don't know if they saw it. After all, it was too dark around, and then quickly chased Mr. Li.

When several people saw this, they quickly ran down the steps, especially Long Tianyang. Although he had a big belly and moved a little slowly, he still had the energy to breastfeed and followed us. Because Lao Li was the first to start running, I could only see a little light of the flashlight behind. Because the surroundings were too dark, I couldn't see Lao Li's body clearly.

I don't know if he had run for a long time. I saw that Lao Li's head seemed to stop and quickly took a few steps forward. At this time, I saw Lao Li's head gasping. After all, he was old and running for a while really made him tired. Even I couldn't stand it. Lao Li'er's face was a little pale and gasping. At this time, the others also chased after him one after another. I saw that everyone was safe and sound, but he was panting. It seemed that the big guy was really shocked and scared.

Old Li's head has basically recovered, waved his hand to everyone, and then looked behind with a flashlight to see if the mummified corpse had been chased. Fortunately, there was nothing behind him. Fortunately, I didn't catch up. Long Tianyang wiped the sweat on his head and said. At this time, the stick was stunned and said, "Damn it, that thing won't go to find the monkey, right?"

I was shocked. Yes, the monkey was still on it. We ran away. The monkey did not smear corpse oil. Will the yang leak out? The reason why that thing doesn't chase us is because we have corpse oil on our bodies, which has basically covered up the yang of the human body. What about the monkey? It's so close to the mouth of the cave. Will that thing go straight to the monkey? The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was possible, and then I said, "No, I'm going to go up and have a look."

I turned my head in a hurry and was about to walk up. Lao Li grabbed me and said, "No, you can't go up." I turned my head and looked at him coldly and said, "In your eyes, anyone's life can be sacrificed, but in my eyes, no one here can do anything except you." My words were very direct. Of course, they also expressed my true thoughts, but Lao Li shook his head and said, "You can't go up at all!"

Old Li's words stunned me. Then I looked at him coldly and didn't say anything. Then I said to the doctor and the magic stick, "You two stay here, and I'll just go up alone. If you wait 20 minutes and I haven't come down, you can go down with Lao Li. Remember, don't come up again. ." As soon as I finished my words, the doctor grabbed my arm and said, "What are you talking about? Since we have to go together as soon as we get together, I will go with you."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the magic stick quickly arrived: "Yes, since we came together, we have to go back together. Where can we leave you alone? I will also go and see. If that thing really haunts our brother, I don't mind giving it to pieces." Seeing that the three of us were going up, Lao Li was even more anxious and said in front of us, "You absolutely can't go. To tell you the truth, we can't get out now. Can't you see it? We have now entered a maze.

I looked around and suddenly remembered that I was just running around and didn't care at all. Is it really like what Lao Li said, have we already walked into the maze? Lao Li continued to say, "I just felt something wrong. I have paid attention to it when I ran. We just ran around in one place. If you want to go back, let's go back together. Now no one can fall behind. In case we get separated, it will be difficult to figure it out."

I looked at the dark passage around me, then looked at Lao Li's serious look, and then nodded and said, "Okay, trust you for the time being. Let's go back together." As soon as my words fell, Long Tianyang was originally at the last one. If he walked back, he would walk in the front. At this time, he came to me and said, "Wen Long, can you discuss it? I don't want to walk in the front." I nodded and knew that he was afraid of the corpse. I simply nodded and said, "No problem. You walk behind me. I'm the first one." After saying that, he took the lead in walking up.

After walking for about half an hour, the channel is still the same channel, which has not changed at all. It seems that Lao Li's words are right. We have inadvertently entered a maze. This maze is like a huge circle, allowing us to go around, and there is no way out.

Is there no end to this road? I was a little anxious to think that because I was worried about the safety of the monkey, my pace became faster, and I didn't believe that I couldn't go out. After walking for a while, I knew that Long Tianyang was too tired to shout, so I had to stop, look at the front, and then look at the back. There are dark passages on both sides. It is impossible to go wrong or have a fork in the road. How can it be? Did you encounter the situation when you were in Yunnan?

At this time, the old Li, who had never spoken, said, "Am I right? We have entered a maze. It seems that we can't get out easily, so we'd better stop and discuss it now." I nodded and came to the old Li and said, "What do you think we should do?" Lao Li thought for a moment and said, "We shouldn't panic at this time. Think about whether we have made a mistake."

"Going wrong? Impossible? We have always been winding down. The doctor also said with some understanding at this time. Lao Li nodded and said, "You are right. We have indeed been going down, but you just said that it is winding, which proves that this channel is not straight. In this case, I guess it is because of this that will cause us to circle in the same place."

I nodded. What Lao Li said did make sense. I thought for a while and said, "Well, let's make a mark on the wall and continue to walk to see if we are going around. If so, we should find a way to go out." Several people agreed with me, and then the magic stick took out the one in his hand and painted a mark on the stone wall a few meters away. In this way, all of us began to walk forward again.

After walking for about 20 minutes, I suddenly found that a white mark in front of me was very obvious. It was a mark painted on the rock with a knife. I knew that we were all circled in place and didn't get out of here at all. Of course, others also saw the mark. Long Tianyang lost his voice at this time and said, "We really circled in one place. Are we really going to be trapped in it?"

I don't believe that such a small maze can trap us here. The problem must be the uneven, sometimes steep, sometimes gentle steps. Then I turned my head and said to Lao Li, "What do you think? How should we get out of here?" Lao Li'er looked calm at this time and looked around and said, "I don't know what's wrong now, but there must be a way to solve it."

I nodded and said, "Then tell me what you can do." Lao Li thought for a moment and said, "I think we are now divided into two teams. One team guards here and the other team goes up. If we meet, it proves that this is indeed a maze. If we don't meet, the people standing in the original team will follow the marks left by the other team. I believe they will definitely go out."

Old Li looked at us after saying that, as if he was asking for our opinion. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "What you said really makes sense. Well, I'll go up with you and have a look, and the rest of the people will stay here. In case something happens, you can have a care. What do you think, Mr. Li?" Lao Li thought for a moment and nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." The magic stick and the doctor wanted to say something, but they didn't say it. Then Lao Li and I walked up and left a mark as we walked.

We are obviously slow to walk this time. Because as we walked, we had to check whether there was any difference on these stone steps. After all, we set all our doubts on these stone steps, but along the way, there seemed to be nothing to find. In addition, my defense against Lao Li's head was deepened. I always felt that this old guy knew the way out, but he Don't say it. What's his purpose?

In this way, Lao Li and I checked the stone steps as we walked. These stone steps are indeed some years old, and they are covered with thick dust, as if someone deliberately sprinkled on them, which is very uniform. But when we walked for about ten minutes, we couldn't see the magic stick and others, and we couldn't even see the light of the flashlight, so Lao Li and I kept walking forward.

As he was walking, he heard Lao Li say, "Come on, come and see!" Hearing the surprise in Lao Li's words, I quickly stepped forward and walked to him. Lao Li's head pointed not far ahead and said, "Look, what's the difference between this and other places?" When I shined it with a flashlight, I saw that there seemed to be no dust at all about two meters of the steps in front of me, as if someone had swept it. I looked at Lao Li and looked at the steps, and suddenly realized that the problem was on this step.
