Chapter 30 Passage

Ling, who had completed his transformation, stared at the guy who claimed to be the Sangong of the village. "Did I tell you to stand by my side?"

"This!" Seeing Ling's eyes becoming increasingly fierce, the guy retreated wisely.

I pointed to the meat ball over there and asked, "How do you know she is a big devil?"

Meat Ball immediately replied: "There are several big demons around the Demon King. I have seen them before."

"Is there a big devil here?" I was surprised by this. After all, the Qiankun Gourd is a fairy treasure in China. Logically speaking, there should only be monsters!

Meatball replied: "The demon king's men are all very powerful monsters, some of which are special types. One of them is very similar to this one. Those monsters all claim to be big devils, so I recognize them."

Ling asked the meat ball: "How many demons are there in total here?"

"I don't know this. The Great Demon is a senior general under the Demon King, and rarely shows up. I have seen three of them, but I don't know if there are only three."

"It's really strange that the demon-collecting gourd in the East actually has demons in it."

Xiao Longnu said to me: "This is normal. Generally speaking, monsters from the West sometimes come to our side. If they are discovered and fought, it is understandable that they should be put into a gourd."

"That makes sense." I nodded and said to the meatball, "I'm going to ask you some questions and answer me honestly."

"yes."

"Is there a cliff here?"

"Cliff?" Rouqiu was a little confused at first, but he soon understood. "The cliff you are talking about is not just a cliff, mainly because you can't fly. You can see it if you fly. Where we are now is actually a plateau."

"Plateau?" Could it be that the location I teleported to was really not below the cliff but above it? Could it be that I was teleported to the opposite direction of the cliff?

Meatball replied: "When you came here, did you first go down a deep cliff? There is a teleportation gate on that cliff. If you can't find the way, you will be teleported back and forth again and again."

"Yes."

"The part above the cliff is actually the outer area of ​​this world. If you look down from a high altitude, you can find that this cliff is actually an approximately circular ring. Walk from the edge of this world to the center. Regardless of No matter which direction you come from, you will encounter this cliff."

"Then this should be a basin?"

"If there is only that ring-shaped cliff, this is indeed a basin, but the cliff is not flat. Didn't you encounter Tianzhu Cliff when you came here?"

"What is Tianzhu Cliff?"

"It's just a cliff! Climb that cliff and you'll reach us."

I suddenly understood. The world in this gourd is basically a circular world. There is a ring in this world, which is lower than other places. Basically, you can think of it as a very huge circular canyon. The entire world within the gourd is cut out of an island-like area by this canyon. This area is a plateau, which is where we are standing now.

Normally, if you want to get here, you must first walk to the edge of the canyon from the outside area, and then go down the cliff to the bottom of the canyon. After crossing the valley bottom to this side of the canyon, we only need to climb up this side of the canyon to reach the area where we are now. Phantom and I interfered with the space gate when we were teleporting together. As a result, we were sent to the opposite side of the canyon instead of reaching the bottom.

From what this meatball meant, the situation seemed quite complicated. I opened the guild channel and turned on the video feed. "Rose."

"whats the matter?"

"I found something happening here."

"Well, tell me."

"That's right. The cliff we encountered at the beginning was actually the side of a canyon, and there was another cliff on the opposite side."

"We already know." Rose turned her side of the picture to the other side, and a cliff appeared in the picture. "We encountered this cliff fifteen minutes ago and are now looking for a way up."

"Let me ask for you." I turned around and said to the meat ball: "Do you know how to get up from the bottom of the canyon?"

"There is a special entrance to come up. But the guards are more...!"

Rose and the others saw the situation on my side through video synchronization, and Ying said, "Ask if there is any other way."

I immediately repeated the question to Meatball, which couldn't hear my guild channel. Meatball replied very definitely: "The canyon is blocked by a huge teleportation barrier. It is impossible to cross it. It is useless to fly. The special channel is the only way to get here." After Meatball finished speaking, he asked us: "Didn't you come up from the passage?"

"Of course we are not. Do you know where the passage is?"

Meatball shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"How could you not know?"

"Because the passage is not fixed."

"What do you mean it's not fixed?"

Meatball thought for a long time before replying: "The channel is actually a special drifting circle. Even our own people can't find where it will appear."

"Is it jumping randomly without any rules?"

"That's not true." Meatball replied: "Actually, we know a few fixed 'hole' doors in the passage. It always beats irregularly in these positions, but we generally don't leave here, especially that passage. It’s really annoying. It beats too fast!”

"What's so annoying about fast beats?"

"It's hard to explain. You'll understand when you see it."

I said to those people: "Okay, since you are so sincere, you can share this as a reward." I took out another piece of Suzaku velvet, and the monsters' eyes went straight when they saw it.

After handing the piece of velvet to the meatball, I took out another piece, cut it into two sections, put one half away, and kept the other half myself. "I need a guide now. If anyone is willing to take us to the nearest passage, I will give this half to him."

"I'm going... I'm going...!" There was chaos below, and all the monsters rushed towards us. Fortunately, Xiao Longnu's exaggerated strength acted as a deterrent. She stood in front of me and finally those monsters didn't dare to pounce on me.

I pointed at the monster who asked to be our guide when we first entered the village. "Everything has to come on a first-come, first-served basis. Since you are the first to apply to me, then it's up to you."

The monster walked out excitedly with runny noses and tears. All the monsters around him stared at him as if they wanted to eat him, but the meatball leader quickly stopped the monsters around him and drove them away. . Those who can become leaders are not ordinary characters, and their ability to handle things is quite strong.

Cut off the guild channel and tell Rose to contact us for a while, and then we were led by the guide to leave the village through the side exit of the village. It seems that the road we came on should lead to another village. There is a big angle with this road. The guide's guiding skills are very good. It seemed that he had walked a long way, and this teleportation point was really not far from his village. In total, we reached the place in just half an hour.

The so-called entrance to the tunnel is a little strange. It is a big stone, and it is a very special rock. The shape of this huge rock is messy and completely irregular, but there is a plane that looks like it was polished by humans in the direction of the road we came from. This plane is large and looks like an arch. The surface of the rock is so smooth that it can almost act as a mirror.

"Is this the entrance?" As soon as I finished speaking, the plane suddenly turned black, and then returned to the color of the rock within a second.

The guide replied: "This is one of the entrances to the passage, but as you can see, it beats too fast."

Xiao Longnu asked: "It suddenly turned black in a flash. Could it be that the passage was opened?"

The guide nodded: "The channel will not be opened for more than one second each time. The next opening time is not necessarily certain, but the interval will never exceed 30 seconds. In most cases, it will be opened again after more than ten seconds."

Xiaochun asked: "How are we going to get through in less than a second? It closes before we can react! And what if it closes just halfway in? Could it be that half of them are in and half are outside?"

The guide said helplessly: "That's why we say this passage is annoying. Because it only opens for 1 second each time. So the only way to pass is to rush."

"rush?"

"Yes. Lower your head and close your eyes and hit it. If it happens to be open when you arrive, you can go through."

"What if it happens to be closed?"

"That's like hitting a wall."

"Then your head is full of bumps, aren't you?"

The monster guide smiled bitterly and said: "How else can I say it's annoying! I used to use the passage because of something. I bumped into it more than thirty times before I could get in. There were big bumps all over my head. It hurt me to death! And this door can be used to enter. You will go through a very long passage, and when you reach the exit at the bottom, you have to hit it again, and when you come back, you have to go through the door twice. Basically, you have to knock out 150 big bags in one round trip to get through!"

"So what if we get stuck halfway?"

"That won't happen. If the part of you that crosses the gate boundary exceeds a certain percentage when the gate is closed, the gate will suck you in directly. If it doesn't reach the threshold, it will be like hitting a wall."

"What's that ratio?"

"I don't know. Over the years, we have estimated that about 70% can be entered, but there is no way to be precise."

Lingling asked: "What if the force is too strong and the stone is broken?"

The guide laughed. "This stone is connected to the wrong space. If you can break it, you are considered powerful."

I said to the demon pets: "You go back to the Fenglong space first. It's more convenient for me to wear it alone."

"Oh well!"

I opened the Fenglong space and put them all in. Then start thinking about how to get there. Headbutting like this monster said is definitely a stupid idea. I'm not going to hit a rock! I first handed half of the velvet to the guide, and then said to the guide: "Come over and help me."

"What do you want me to do?"

First I moved a big stone. Then I said to the guy: "Watch carefully. If this is me." After the space door opened, I pressed the stone against the stone wall and pressed it firmly. The guide just looked at me and didn't understand what I was going to do. Suddenly the space door opened again, and the stone surface turned into a dark entrance. Because I kept pressing the stone hard, as soon as the space door appeared, the support of the stone wall disappeared immediately, and the big stone fell into the space door. When the space door closed again, the stone had completely gone in. "Did you see it? You pressed me so hard for a while, and as soon as the door opened, I went in."

"This method is very new, but you are much bigger than a stone, so I don't know if you can do it in such a short time!"

"It doesn't matter if you try, it's better than hitting your head, right?"

"That's right."

Under my guidance, the guide pressed me on the stone, and I kicked the ground hard. As soon as the wall in front disappeared, I would fall into the wall. This time the interval was longer. After about twenty seconds, the wall in front of me suddenly lost its support, and I threw myself forward. The time ended quickly in less than a second, and I held up my hands to offset the impact of my falling body.

He actually came in. I got up and looked around. The big stone I threw in during the demonstration was still lying on the ground. After carefully observing the surrounding environment, the first impression is that there are no traces of artificial excavation. This cave-like passage extends until it is invisible. It is a mixed structure of soil and rock, a completely natural cave.

It is not dark at the entrance of the passage. Looking out from here, you can see bright light, but the picture is unstable and always flickering. The entrance to the passage does not actually close, it is always open, but it constantly changes between locations, so looking in from the outside is like a door opening and closing, but looking out from the inside But the scenery outside is always changing.
