Chapter 511 New Information
Luo Jun''s worries are not unreasonable...
A Class A mission was discovered more than ten years ago. According to Caroline''s testimony at the time, she found a body here at least thirty years ago. That was not the oldest body in the maze... In this way, this maze It has been around for at least half a century, and despite searching the entire cultivation world, no one has ever heard of anyone cracking it.
If you can leave here as long as you collect the ultimate treasures from the black and white shops, then there is no reason why no one has succeeded. Although this condition is harsh, to be fair, it is not difficult to find. The existence of the white store is clearly written in the mission rules. As long as you get the gold ingot, you can know the existence of the black store from the white store. The product catalogs of both stores can be viewed for free. As long as you can see this From the two booklets, it is natural to think of ways to break the situation.
If it is normal for no one to succeed in several rounds of tasks, then in fifty years, even if it is only opened once a year, it is still fifty rounds and hundreds of cultivators have come in. Isn''t it possible that none of them have succeeded?
In fact, according to statistics, 300 to 500 Class A missions are launched around the world every month, which is almost 5,000 missions a year. The same type of Grade A missions are often opened multiple times a year, especially those that have not been conquered before. The frequency of opening will be higher, but people who have entered it will not come in again.
From this point of view, after all, I am afraid that at least several thousand people have entered this endless maze. There are no weak people who can reach Level A. No one of so many people has ever gone out. This mission will definitely not be that simple!
But what''s the problem?
Luo Jun doesn''t know. There is too little information now, and others can''t analyze it.
"If you ask me, don''t worry about this for now." Mr. Yuan comforted: "At least now there is a hope, let''s treat it as a backup plan. Our top priority is to return to the starting point as soon as possible and join the others."
With that said, Mr. Yuan started the origin pointer again and continued to move forward. Finally, more than four hours later, he returned to the origin.
"No one else has come back yet..."
The familiar circular room in front of them seemed to be completely unchanged from when they left.
But all in all, they had been gone for five or six days.
"Others don''t have an origin pointer." Ma Qiao said: "They might not be able to come back even if they want to."
"Not necessarily." Luo Jun shook his head: "Do you still remember the Hall of Decision we passed when we left? After passing there, our retreat was blocked. If that road is still there, we can''t come back. It will be so far away.”
"If the Hall of Decision is not sealed, will you be able to remember the way back?" Ma Qiao curled her lips with a look of disbelief.
"You didn''t remember?" This time it was Luo Jun''s turn to be surprised: "Except for the part where I opened the map and ran wildly, it was a little too late, I have carefully remembered the road we walked before. I dare not say that there are no mistakes. , but it shouldn’t be a big problem if we fumble back to the starting point.”
"What? We''ve been gone for two days..." Ma Qiao said in surprise.
"This is a maze. You should memorize the path carefully every time you go." Mr. Yuan also said: "And this endless maze is mainly big. In fact, the route is not particularly complicated. The cultivation of the solid state not only strengthens the body, but also strengthens the memory. It’s not difficult to get promoted and remember these routes, right?”
"This..." It was Ma Qiao''s turn to be embarrassed.
Luo Jun nodded: "The other couples all choose to act alone. They should know better the importance of remembering the route. I believe they can come back if they think about it."
Seeing the old man and the young man taking it for granted, Ma Qiao was completely speechless. He turned to look at Sun Xiaowei beside him: "You remember it too?"
Sun Xiaowei was stunned by his question, her eyes wandered around and she stammered: "Dangdang... of course!"
Ma Qiao looked unbelieving: "Are you bragging?"
"You... don''t drag me into the water!" Sun Xiaowei ran directly behind Luo Jun: "I knew that my junior would remember the way, so I spent my energy on other places... Don''t forget, there are various agencies and detectives along the way. The road depends on my robot, and I also contribute to the team!”
Ma Qiao looked at the three of them. Luo Jun was the one who made the plans, Mr. Yuan was in charge of combat, Sun Xiaowei could make a robot to explore the road, and he was the only one who co-wrote it?
"Let''s do this. I''ll send another message to confirm." Mr. Yuan took out the talisman again, lit it and sent a message.
"We have arrived at the origin. If you confirm that we can come back, please reply."
After the message was sent, a few minutes later, they received three replies one after another, from Mao Xintong, Zhuge Zi and Ling Jian.
Mao Xintong and Zhuge Zi said they would come back, but Ling Jian said they did not need supplies and would continue to explore.
"Li Ying didn''t reply?" Mr. Yuan was still a little worried about this former student.
"Maybe I didn''t see it?" Luo Jun comforted: "Maybe he was in a hurry? Why don''t you send another one after a while?"
Mr. Yuan shook his head: "The talisman paper is limited and cannot be wasted... I will confirm it again when the two-day time limit is up."
Just like that, the four of them started waiting here.
As Luo Jun said, the other groups also remembered the way back, but there was no pointer to indicate the nearest route, so they didn''t come back as fast as they did. While no one came back, Luo Jun explored around the origin. He didn''t go far. He just looked at the nearby terrain. In order to prevent being trapped in a place like the Hall of Decision, he would Try to avoid it.
Finally, after waiting at the origin for about a day, Mao Xintong came back.
This capable woman seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Her somewhat torn clothes and tired look showed that she had not had an easy time these days.
Exploring alone means that you have to do everything by yourself, even when you sleep, no one is watching and you are on tenterhooks.
Mr. Yuan immediately gave her a supply, and Mao Xintong opened the package and ate without caring about the image.
"Slow down, don''t choke..." Mr. Yuan advised: "There is water, drink more water and take it easy..."
After eating and drinking, Mao Xintong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Sorry... I haven''t eaten for two days."
Although cultivators have stronger physiques than ordinary people and are supported by vitality, their essence must also follow the law of conservation of energy. Their vitality is generated by themselves, and their external work is greater than that of ordinary people. In theory, their energy requirements are also higher, so they should all be big eaters.
But the cultivation of vitality will not only strengthen the output, but also strengthen the intake ability. The strengthening of the body by the solid state will greatly increase their utilization efficiency of the energy in food. The movement of vitality itself will also assist digestion and absorption, allowing them to ensure enough energy to maintain activities even if they eat the same amount of food as ordinary people.
Even as their realm improves, their energy intake methods are also evolving, but even if they reach the peak, they are still at the mortal level and cannot do without the need for food. Legend has it that when you reach the realm of ascension, you can stop eating grains and become a true land god. For a life at this level, eating has changed from a necessity to a recreational activity.
"It''s okay. Is it enough to eat?" Looking at the wrapping paper on the floor, Luo Jun took out another supply: "If it''s not enough, there''s still more."
"That''s enough, that''s enough..." Mao Xintong waved her hand: "You also have to keep some, this maze is too difficult... After I left, I didn''t find anything on the first day, but I found a relic the next day and exchanged some for it. The supplies lasted for three days, but they were all used up, and we didn’t encounter any supplies after that.”
After hearing his experience, both Sun Xiaowei and Ma Qiao secretly rejoiced at their good luck. If they had not selected that store door in the decision hall, they would not have had so many supplies, and their encounter would probably be similar to that of Mao Xintong... No, maybe Earlier, after all, there are four of them, and one supply of supplies is not enough...
"Relic?" Luo Jun asked curiously: "Is one relic enough to exchange for three days of supplies?"
"Not enough..." Mao Xintong shook her head: "The food given by the relic is not much, just a little more than your portion. I only ate for three days. But in addition to food, I also gave some weapons and Medicines, the rules say they are random, I don’t know if other people exchanged them for the same thing..."
"Eh? Wait..." Mao Xintong looked at Luo Jun with some surprise: "Don''t you know? Haven''t you exchanged the relics?"
Luo Jun shook his head, and Mao Xintong asked in surprise: "Then where did the food you gave me come from?"
"We met a store." Ma Qiao said, "Didn''t I send you a message?"
"The message only said that you found clues about the exit in the store. Can''t you afford it?" Mao Xintong frowned and said, "I thought you didn''t have money. There are also supplies in the store?"
"As long as you kill monsters and find treasure chests, you can get money. We bought a lot of supplies." Sun Xiaowei said with a smile: "Sister Mao, why don''t you join us and take care of us."
"Even if there are supplies, one more person means more consumption." Mao Xintong still hesitated: "And with one more route, the probability of us going out is also higher."
"Don''t worry, we have found a way to sustainably obtain supplies, and maybe even a way to leave!" Sun Xiaowei said confidently.
"How to get out?" Mao Xintong was even more shocked. Then, she heard Sun Xiaowei talk about the situation in the black store.
"After all, there is strength in numbers... I am too conceited." Mao Xintong shook her head: "It seems that as long as we make enough money and gold ingots, we can find an exit."
"It can only be said that it is possible." Mr. Yuan said: "We are still skeptical about the merchants'' remarks...especially the black store."
"By the way, Sister Mao." Luo Jun asked: "What happened to the monster team that passed through the wall in the message you sent before?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot if you didn''t tell me." Mao Xintong said: "Those monsters are very sensitive to sound and will be targeted at the slightest movement, so I didn''t dare to make any sound in the video I sent. I recorded that video I have been following them for a while, and I really couldn’t find a way around the wall where they finally entered, so I can only send you a message to record it. "
"In other words, we don''t know where their destination is in the end?" Mr. Yuan asked.
Mao Xintong shook her head: "I don''t know..."
"Where is the direction?" Luo Jun asked: "Using this as a reference, can you draw the approximate direction they are heading?"
With that said, he took out a pen and paper from the opened supply bag and handed it to Mao Xintong.
"Let me give it a try..." Mao Xintong took it, drew a circle in the center of the paper, and then began to draw his own route: "I remember that after I went out, I walked straight for a while, then turned left, and walked about a few hundred meters. Go upstairs, and then..."
As she drew lines along the way, she finally arrived at the location where she encountered the monster parade.
"It seems that this is how they walked." She drew an arrow on the paper to indicate the direction of the team''s advance.
"Of course, it''s not necessarily accurate." Mao Xintong said: "Because not every intersection is a right angle, and after so many turns, the angle may be deviated."
Indeed, with just such an arrow and no reference, it is difficult to tell where this thing leads, not to mention there are deviations...
Luo Jun frowned, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He also took the pen and started drawing on the paper.
This time, what he drew was the route they took back the day before, but they started from the origin and worked backwards.
Eventually, the route ends at a point. Here is the black store they went to before.
At this time, look at the line drawn by Mao Xintong. Although it is not directly opposite, it is probably pointing to this store, and the position where Mao Xintong finally lost it is not far from this point.
"This is..." Mao Xintong said in surprise: "Where is here?"
"Black store..." Luo Jun frowned and said: "Of course, we both drew from memory, there must be deviations. It is possible that this route is far away from the store, and it has nothing to do with it at all, but it is also very possible... you The last place where I got lost is only one wall away from this store!”
"It can''t be such a coincidence, right?" Sun Xiaowei said in surprise: "You mean those monsters came to this store?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Luo Jun nodded: "And you have forgotten that the thing sold in the black shop, the effect of the void pass, is that it can pass through the wall in the maze?"
"Yes!" Several people suddenly realized: "If that team is holding the Void Pass, then it will move towards the store, which makes sense!"
Luo Jun nodded and looked at Mao Xintong: "Sister Mao, you said before that those guys are very sensitive and are afraid of being heard... Does that mean you have been discovered by them? What are the consequences?"
"Actually, it''s not me." Mao Xintong explained: "Before I discovered these monsters, I just happened to alert an armored monster. I acted alone, in line with the purpose of trying not to alert the snake, and planned to retreat and sneak around, but the armored monster made a sound The movement suddenly attracted a big monster, which smashed the armored monster with a hammer. "
"I didn''t dare to act rashly at the time. I followed quietly out of curiosity. I found that the big monster was circling all the way. Finally, I found the team, joined in, and started to follow them through the wall..."
