Chapter 1771 Old School Approach

Li Chengxi initially thought that finding treasure was similar to what happened in martial arts novels, such as The Untold Story.

Rather than saying that the treasure is hard to find, it is more likely that there are intrigues to be experienced during the process of finding the treasure.

It was not until Yang Yiyi and the others entered Erlang Mountain and saw the unscientific maze at the entrance that Li Chengxi immediately realized that this so-called treasure was probably different from what he had imagined, with a low level of martial arts and an overwhelming amount of magic.

So Li Chengxi immediately changed his thinking. He stopped thinking in terms of martial arts novels and started thinking in terms of the adventure that Oldie and the others were going through to find the Demon King’s Ring.

In that case, let’s make some preparations in advance.

As a magic consultant, Aoerdai was always available to answer Li Chengxi’s questions, while Fang Lanyin helped Li Chengxi prepare materials that might be used, such as the air quality detector.

Since ships use recycled air, if there is a problem with the air circulation system and the shipowner is unaware of it, it is very likely that everyone on the ship will suffocate to death, and multiple instruments are needed for long-term monitoring.

This portable instrument comes as a tool with many spares, so you can use any one of them.

It can not only detect air quality, but also detect energy. For example, it can provide an alarm if negative energy exceeds the standard. However, its energy detection is not as sensitive as other professional instruments.

Yang Yiyi dragged the main body with one hand and raised the pen-shaped probe to the same level as her face with the other hand. In this pose, Yang Yiyi walked at the front of the team.

Of course, other people didn’t recognize this kind of high-tech, but when they thought that it was given by Li Chengxi, they assumed that it must be a magical weapon from the immortal family…

In short, so far, the air quality detector has not issued an alarm. The readings show that the oxygen content in the air is slightly low, but not to the extent that it will affect the human body, and no substances harmful to the human body have been found.

We walked along this passage for about a hundred meters, and then we saw a fork in the road ahead.

The group came to a Y-shaped intersection and looked around, but did not find any sign indicating which way to go.

This is probably a maze as well.

As mentioned before, the maze has the effect of enhancing the seal, and the effect will be better if you put it layer by layer like a nesting doll.

However, this place was not in the legends passed down by witches and priests, and Ran Xiaoyi had never been here, so everyone was completely in the dark.

One thing is certain, the maze with enhanced seal must have an exit and an entrance, not a dead end.

This is just like when controlling water, it is better to drain than to block. If you block everything, the effect of enhancing the seal will be lost. There must be an exit and an entrance, this is a basic need.

It feels like it might take a long time, maybe I’ll have to stay up late again today.

“Just pick any intersection and go in and take a look.”

Anyway, I don’t know where to go, so I’ll just go in and take a look first.

Yang Yiyi and the others were about to take a step forward when they suddenly heard approaching footsteps from behind. The distance was still quite far, but due to the echo in the cave, they could be heard clearly.

Maybe the bandits have caught up with us.

There are many bandits, and although the road to the seal is as complicated as a maze, with more people they can just rush in, and the effect of the maze will be minimized.

Once the wall of this secret passage was opened, it would be broken and could not be put back together. The bandits could see it at a glance when they rushed into the hall outside.

So everyone quickly chose the path on the left and tried to keep as much distance as possible from the bandits.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Walking through a maze is a headache.

Li Chengxi played in the mirror maze in the shopping mall, and in the end it was the staff who led him out.

Although the maze that Yang Yiyi and the others walked through was not as weird as the mirror maze, it was still quite complicated. Li Chengxi used a very old-fashioned method and took notes.

This is a nostalgic practice.

When Li Chengxi was a child, he played games, especially domestic stand-alone games. At that time, they were not like the games nowadays that put maps on your face.

In that era, it seemed that in order to extend the game time, the mazes were designed to be the same as fucking formations. Not only were they extremely similar, but the density of enemies was also high.

Often you remember clearly that this is a dead end and you should turn around and take another route, but after fighting the enemy several times in a row, you forget where you were going.

Therefore, players at that time learned the habit of drawing and taking notes on paper without looking at guides. In addition, many games did not even provide a task list, so players would write down anything they thought might be a task.

Over time, this has become a skill.

Suddenly picking up a pen and starting to take notes, this action is a bit nostalgic.

Of course, what I miss is the memory, not the setting, which is still very troublesome.

In comparison, Yang Yiyi and the others had it much easier. They just had to follow Li Chengxi’s instructions.

No traps have been found in this maze so far. It may be that the wizard who built this place did this on purpose.

Magic traps do not come out of nothing, they require energy to maintain. The energy that the witches and shamans only need to check on them once every hundred years is simply not enough.

So Olde guessed that the energy used by the traps, secret doors, and even the lights in this place came from the sealed monsters.

Using the energy of the sealed object to strengthen the seal is a relatively sophisticated operation. The wizard who built this place can be said to be quite capable, and Orday also praised him for this.

There are traps outside but not inside, which is to prevent the sealed monsters from drawing back the energy that has been extracted.

After all, it is someone else’s power. If the distance is too far, it’s okay. But if you are too close, it may be used by it to break the seal.

This also shows that the wizard who built this place had some skills, but they were not extremely skilled, otherwise there would not be such concerns.

Another example of this is the Ancient Elves, who never had this problem with the seals they created.

The lack of traps made it easier to get through, but since the bandits had already rushed in, everyone was now going around in circles in the maze.

Yang Yiyi and her friends could often hear dense footsteps, but because of the echo, they could not tell how far away they were.

Although we are not afraid of a fight, the bandits have a lot of people and it would be a problem if a fight really happened.

Moreover, Li Chengxi was very suspicious whether this group of bandits were also instructed by Shen Qingshuang. After all, Erlangshan had been here for a long time.

The bandits didn’t come earlier or later, but they took great pains to come in at this time. Their purpose was very suspicious.

In short, quietly taking things and quietly running away is the best outcome.

The group wandered around in the maze, and time passed by little by little.

Everyone kept walking on the road, making do with some dry food, and they all began to feel tired.

At this time, a double stone door appeared in the passage ahead, and it was well preserved, probably due to the high concentration of magic power here.

Maybe, I found the place.
