At noon, when the sun was at its highest, the howls of beasts suddenly came from the Yueyang Fort, which was shrouded in a thick cloud of black smoke … It was not the howls of a single beast, but the howls of countless beasts at the same time. The howls were so loud that it seemed as if the entire earth was shaking.
"Oh no, Yuan Kou is making a big move!
Hurry up and report this to the base city! "
The captain of the scouting team, who had risked his life to lurk around the black smoke, was so scared that his hair stood on end. He quickly reported the location of the Yueyang Fort to the base city.
The base city of Yuzhang immediately became nervous when they received the news. The sword-bearers were all told to return to their homes or to their respective assembly points to await further orders.
At the same time, another five scouting teams set off from their respective strongholds to scout around half of the Yueyang Fort.
However, the strange thing was that although the black smoke kept howling, there was no concrete movement.
Even the roars stopped after more than 20 minutes, and the entire black fog returned to its tranquil state.
Thus, the strange howling incident came to an end. In the next two days, there were no other movements from Fort Yue Yang.
However, this made Liu Lei and Ju Wudao very vigilant. They added more sword-bearers to the scouting team and started to patrol the entire Yuzhang City. Unfortunately, they found nothing.
…
"Spare me, my lady!
Spare me, my lady! "
A golden-furred monster with a bull's face and monkey's ears was sent flying by Qingpin's sword. It fell to its knees and started kowtowing desperately, begging Qingpin to spare its life.
This was the ninth Yuan Kou that Qingpin had killed that day. After a good night's sleep, Qingpin fought under Guhan's pressure for the rest of the day. Any combat room that required a fight with a Yuan Kou would be handled by Qingpin.
As a result, Qingpin used her teeth to leave dozens of deep bite marks on Guhan's body. However, on the other hand, Qingpin's combat ability had reached a very good level. For example, the little monster Little Diamond Wind, who had been singing "The King called me to patrol the mountain", had been defeated by Qingpin by herself. Guhan had not given her any instructions at all.
In terms of exam results, before entering the trial, Guhan would at most give Qingpin five marks for her sword skills. However, now, Guhan felt that Qingpin could at least get 70 marks … based on the Ancient Sword Maiden test paper.
This meant that the child's talent in swordsmanship was extremely high, it was just that she was a little too lazy, which was why Gu Han used such forceful methods to force her.
"Yuan Kou, aren't you a memory fragment of His Majesty Zhe Tian?
If you want to leave, how can we stop you? Just admit defeat! "Song Yifei sneered at Little Diamond Wind, who was kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"That's right, Little Diamond Wind can run away on his own. Why should he beg for mercy?"
The little monster finally realized that he did not need to beg for mercy. He could just admit defeat and leave.
He scratched his head in frustration, and the cow lice scattered all over his body. "I'm sorry, I'm used to it when I was a monster. It's just a habit, a habit …"
After saying that, Little Diamond Wind ran away like a puff of smoke … he really did run away like a puff of smoke. With Journey to the West as proof, whenever a monster wanted to escape, there would always be an explosion, followed by a puff of smoke, and they would escape.
"I'll throw this!" Song Yifei grabbed the die before Guhan could.
Song Yifei seemed to be surprisingly fond of throwing dice and drawing cards. Ever since the three of them had formed a team, Song Yifei had taken care of everything.
“666666。”
Song Yifei kept shouting "6" as he threw the die. Naturally, he hoped that his die would roll a "6".
"Tch!
Only an idiot would do that! "
Liunian Ling muttered disdainfully. However, something amazing happened. After the die spun a few times, the side with a "6" appeared on the top.
“YES！
This is my strength! "
Song Yifei showed off proudly, which made Liunian Ling gnash her teeth. However, she could not refute him. After all, he did roll a "6".
Guhan and the others continued to walk forward. The light walls opened up one by one, making way for Guhan and the others to move forward.
According to previous experience, there should be six light walls opened up, which meant that Guhan could move forward six squares.
However, when the light wall opened up to the fifth one, the last light wall stopped disappearing. Guhan and the others were stuck at the fifth step.
"What's going on? Did I make a mistake?
Have we already moved six steps? "
Song Yifei said confusedly. She had been counting her steps all this time. How could she make a mistake for no reason?
"No, this is the fifth room. I don't know why we're stuck here!"
Liunian Ling walked around the room, trying to see if there was anything unusual in the room. However, she could not find any clues.
"Could it be that the trial array has gone out and mistook the" 6 "I rolled as a" 5 "?"
Song Yifei guessed naively. "After all, this array has been going on for more than seven hundred years. It's not strange for there to be a small problem."
"No, it's not like what you said. The small bar in the middle of the room did not rise. This means that we did not trigger the task mechanism of the entire room."
Guhan said. Logically speaking, after each advancement, the small bar would rise within a minute to indicate the way to pass through the entire room. However, it had been about ten minutes, and the small bar had not risen. Did this mean that there was a special trigger condition for this room?
Guhan pondered for a while. He suddenly raised his head and said to Liunian Ling, "Ling, give me your electronic map!
Hurry. "
Under Guhan's urging, Liunian Ling handed her electronic map to Guhan. Guhan glanced at it and his expression relaxed. "I know what's wrong."
"What?
What's wrong? "
Hearing Guhan's words, Song Yifei and Liunian Ling gathered together to listen to Guhan's explanation. Guhan stretched out his finger and pointed at a grid with a red mark on the map. "This is our current position. Take a look and see what's different about this position!"
Liunian Ling took a closer look and found that they had reached a very critical position. She immediately said, "This is the intersection point of the two paths. The path that extends from the other starting point will converge here!"
"It's true. It's like a Y-shape!" Song Yifei also realized this in shock.
"Yes, I think this should be the reason why we are stuck here. This is the intersection point of the two paths. I think there must be some special task that we need to complete, so we are stuck here. We can't move forward anymore!" Guhan gave the final conclusion, which was reasonable and convincing.
"But what special task do we need to complete?
There is not a single hint here! "
Song Yifei said with a frown. Since he met Liunian Ling, Song Yifei seemed to have become more and more adorable.
"Wait!"
Guhan took out his own tent from his pocket and began to set it up. "Maybe we have to wait for a long time."
…
"My dear brother, how long do we have to go?" In a room, two white-robed swordsmen said to each other.
The Green Sect called each other brothers, and they rarely called each other by their names.
"I don't know. Dear Allah, I really want to leave this place immediately. I don't even know which direction to pray in!" the other white-robed swordsman complained.
Jerusalem Base City was probably the base city with the best preservation of religious rituals before the Great Destruction. Most of the rituals of the Green Sect had been preserved and passed down.
For example, they had to pray in the direction of the Holy City of Mecca every day at five times: morning, noon, afternoon, dusk, and night.
The reason why they had to pray in that direction was because the founder of the Green Sect, Muhammad, had prayed to Allah in the White Square House of Mecca. Therefore, all the Green Sect disciples would pray in that direction.
The five times a day of worship was a pious ritual that every Green Sect follower must observe. Even if one of the five times was missed, it would be a great sin, and if it was reported, it would be punishable by death.
Therefore, the two swordsmen from Jerusalem were complaining that they could not tell the direction, and could not complete their prayers … It had been two days since they had last prayed. It would not end well for them if word got out.
The two white-robed swordsmen knelt in front of a veiled woman behind them and asked, "Saintess, what should we do? We haven't prayed to the great Allah for two days!"
The woman should be a Saber-rank swordsman, but her status in Jerusalem Base City was very high. It was so high that the two Saber-rank swordsmen were willing to kneel in front of her and ask for her orders.
"Allah is supreme. His power is above all things. When necessary, you don't have to pray in the direction of Mecca.
You just need to recite Allah's name in your hearts, and Allah will feel your devotion and forgive your mistakes! "
The voice of the Saintess was like the voice of the heavens under the veil. Everyone who heard it could not help but feel a sense of respect.
"Yes, Saintess, we understand!"
The two white-robed swordsmen each chose a direction and prayed to the Allah in their hearts.
Under the veil, the Saintess sighed softly. No one knew what she was thinking.
The two white-robed swordsmen seemed to have forgotten that the Saintess had also missed two days of praying.
