Chapter 194 Lost City
Chapter 194 Lost City
Li Yirou thought to herself that Chen Ziying probably didn't know her true luck, so he dared to take her to the secret realm.
Huo Lingling also agreed: "That's right, just pick one that you like."
Zhang Yucheng urged, "Why not choose this one? I saw a figure entering the city gate!"
Then I heard Lu Xin say, "Hey, Senior Brother, look carefully, there are people going in all three of them, they are exactly the same."
Li Yirou was also observing. According to her original world, data transmission takes time, and light can also be regarded as data at this moment.
If the figure in any image is slower by a moment, it can be eliminated. Li Yirou looked at them one by one, and the difference was very small. She took off the cloth in front of her eyes and stared more carefully.
Li Yirou couldn't stop crying. Comparing the two, the moment this person stepped into the city, and then turned to the other picture, which was also the moment of stepping in. That meant that the action in this picture was slower and could be ruled out.
Comparing the two times, she chose the city that last appeared in their sight.
Of course, it is also possible that all three are fake. But even if that is the case, the last one should be the closest to the real city.
There are restrictions in the secret city, and the spirit boat cannot be used, so they can only run for a distance and quickly leave.
Halfway through the run, the sight of the other two cities disappeared, and I made the right choice.
“Junior sister, you are really this…” Chen Ziying ran, breathing slightly, and did not forget to give her a thumbs up.
Maybe she thought it was luck, but Li Yirou relied entirely on observation.
But she felt hotter and hotter as she walked, and she was sweating a lot, while the others were dry and cool.
"Junior sister, do you want to take a break?" Seeing that her hair was almost wet, Chen Ziying performed a spell to remove the water for her.
"It's okay, let's rest after we get into the city." She was worried that there would be more changes.
Counting along the way, they found that more than 10 teams had already entered the maze city. They were not lagging behind, but if they wanted to be among the top few, they had to catch up faster.
The color of the maze city looks like it is made of ochre-colored stones. There is no text on the city gate, only a silhouette of a human figure.
Perhaps it is a spiritual creature born from the Lost City, and it regards its portrait as a signboard.
Li Yirou finally felt better. Looking at the city gate eye, she felt that it was a bit creative and that she might not particularly like some things created by humans.
Otherwise, it should have retained the original text of the maze city instead of replacing it with graphics. But there were no major changes, and it was still remodeled based on the prototype of the city left by humans before.
After entering the city gate, the houses become a little strange. They are no longer square, but have curves. The edges of the houses become wavy lines, forming very high floors.
The buildings look like building blocks, fitting together perfectly, with only a tiny gap between each house, like a picture drawn by a child with wild imagination.
In Li Yirou's eyes, it seemed a little twisted and weird, and she always felt that the house was uninhabitable.
The aisles in the city were not very wide and could only accommodate three people walking side by side.
Together with the buildings on the side and the undulating roads that extend in all directions, it is like a maze.
From time to time, small moving balls would pop up, and when they saw them, they would shrink back into the house. They were probably small spiritual creatures.
Taxue became particularly active when he saw spiritual creatures in the space. He stared at each one and licked his paws, but did not attack.
It seemed that it always wanted to eat these naturally formed spiritual creatures. Li Yiru was worried about the danger and told it not to act rashly.
In the city, all written materials disappeared and were replaced by graphic instructions.
For example, a shop that used to sell clothes would draw patterns of clothes, and a shop that used to sell spiritual weapons would draw a spiritual sword.
Perhaps it is because of this that it gave away the equipment refining diagrams used by humans and allowed them to practice it?
"Look, isn't this picture vivid? You can tell what it means at a glance." Huo Lingling asked. Although she asked a question, her tone was full of praise.
"It's okay, but it's not as intuitive as writing." Zhang Yucheng retorted. He felt that he had to guess and it would be a lot of work. Besides, as a human being, he was accustomed to using words as a basic tool.
But Huo Lingling was obviously unhappy about this and glared at him.
Li Yirou praised it, "It is indeed unique and the painting is vivid."
Huo Lingling then smiled and said, "That's what I said."
Perhaps because of some influence from the Lost City, Li Yirou felt that except when Huo Lingling was with Chen Ziying, the way they interacted was just bantering with each other, and she was very gentle to others.
At this moment, she glared at Zhang Yucheng just because of a slight difference of opinion. Her emotions seemed to be magnified. Li Yirou didn't want her teammates to accumulate dissatisfaction as soon as they came in, so she spoke to ease the situation.
She took out the purification talisman and the calming talisman and put one on each person.
"It's okay. I have a lot of these talismans. These are just grade 2 ones, just in case." Seeing Chen Ziying looking back at her after the talisman was pasted on her, Li Yirou explained.
"Junior sister is awesome!" Chen Ziying praised her again and pulled her to the front. "Yirou, which way do you think we should go?"
This... if I leave it to her to choose, I'm afraid she will go further and further away. Li Yirou was just about to analyze it with her when she heard Huo Lingling suddenly shouting from behind: "Senior Brother!"
The voice seemed far away. Zhang Yucheng turned back subconsciously and said, "Lingling, you called me?"
Only as she shouted did everyone realize that Huo Lingling had fallen behind at some point.
She hurried to catch up, "Yes, I just saw that the house was really beautiful, and when I looked up, I found that you all had walked far away, so I wanted to ask you to wait for me."
Li Yiru's spiritual awareness was always open, and she didn't even notice that she didn't keep up. This maze city was not simple, and if you were not careful, you would be affected.
"Ling, are you okay?" Chen Ziying looked at her worriedly. Huo Lingling smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's go. Why don't we go this way? I think the house over there is more beautiful!"
Li Yirou followed her line of sight and found the houses here even stranger. They were top-heavy, as if they had no foundation. A tall building was supported by only one fulcrum, and it looked unstable and would collapse at any time.
And Huo Lingling actually thought this house was beautiful? Her aesthetic was similar to that of the maze city, and she had been praising it since she entered the door.
When Li Yirou thought of this, she suddenly recalled that when she and Li Yi entered the Red Flame Secret Realm before, she was also trapped in an illusion from the very beginning. Could it be that Huo Lingling was also affected at this moment and her aesthetic taste changed?
Where is she leading everyone?
The guide also says that the closer you get to the center of the maze, the more things are opposite to those in the human world, so the path pointed out by Huo Lingling is actually the right one.
So what was the point of her being influenced? To help everyone get out of the maze, find the center of the city, and then leave smoothly?
The secret realm guide only records that the stranger the place is, the more likely it is to be the correct location. So everyone looked at each other and thought that what Huo Lingling said made sense.
"Then let's go!" Zhang Yucheng took the lead. "Actually, if you look closely, the houses in this maze city are a bit special."
