Then, Black Shrimp continued," During the Republic of China, a team entered this place to dig for oil and build a pipeline. I heard that none of the team came out alive. It was said that this was one of the unsolved cases!”
"Hmph, I knew it. How could you possibly distinguish the smell of the oil from the Republic of China and the oil from today?”" But from the looks of it, the pipeline should have been successfully built," said Xiao Hua." How could there be no bones left?"”
"Uncle Hua, I don't think this is something we're worried about. Let's hurry up and find a way out!”
The little brother and the others followed the stone pebbles left behind by Innocent and the others along the way and quickly found the location of the sunken ship.
However, when the three of them arrived, what they saw was a mess. The ground was filled with corpses that had been taken away by the Corpse Monster King.
When everyone saw this scene, they could not help but have worried expressions on their faces. He quickly went forward to check, hoping that there were no innocent people among the corpses.
After Fatty and Pan Zi checked all the bodies, they shook their heads with a smile on their faces. It seemed that those who died were Ning's subordinates.
On the other side, Innocent and Ning were following Zhang Muzhi, avoiding the horde of Corpse Pheasant Kings while searching for the whereabouts of the others.
" I looked at the sun when we were running. We should be in the north-northwest direction of the camp," Zhang Muzhi said after identifying the direction.
" But we've been doing it for almost an hour," Ning looked at her watch and said,""Logically speaking, we should have been able to return to the location of the camp earlier!”
"That's right!" Zhang Muzhi nodded and said," It looks like this Devil Town is no small matter. We must have fallen into the trap of our predecessors!"”
"A trap?"
Naive and confused, Zhang Muzhi explained,"I don't know if you've noticed, but in Devil Town, the mountains are connected, and there will be forks from time to time.”
"That's right. The rocks and rocks here are all the same. After walking for so long, if it weren't for the fact that we were heading in the right direction, I would have thought that we were going in circles!”
After Ning finished speaking, Zhang Muzhi continued,"I think this is a trap left behind by the ancients!”
"A trap?"
Ning thought for a long time. Seeing this, Zhang Muzhi smiled and said,"Now that things have come to this, the three of us can be considered grasshoppers tied to the same rope. As the saying goes, we are in the same boat. We should be honest with each other. Naive, let Ning take a look at Chen Wenjin's notes!”
Hearing this, Innocent hesitated for a moment before taking out Chen Wenjin's notebook from his backpack and handing it to Ning.
Ning took the notebook and said unhappily,"Is this the capital you used to blackmail me into bringing you here? You hid it deep enough!"
"Same here, Ning. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid you wouldn't have brought me here!"”
"Alright, stop bickering!”
Zhang Muzhi saw that the two of them were about to quarrel and quickly stopped them,"According to the notes, the Devil Town we are in now should be made up of a few small Devil Towns. There should have been a river here, and the Queen Mother of the West Palace should be by the river!”
"And in Chen Wenjin's notes, it was mentioned that there was an invisible barrier outside the Queen Mother of the West Palace. It should be referring to those ancient rivers!”
Innocent said. Looking at Ah Ning who was still reading the notes seriously, Zhang Muzhi took the notes from her hands, flipped to a page, and gave it to Ah Ning to explain.
"Look here. There are no less than four small Devil Towns marked on this map. These Devil Towns surround the Western Mother Empress Palace and are built along the river. It's not without purpose. I've carefully observed that the layout of these Devil Towns matches the location of Qimen Dunjia. Therefore, I guess that this is actually a maze formed by many Devil Towns. Its purpose is to confuse those who come to find the Western Mother Empress Palace!”
Ning nodded, but she still had some questions."But we've been following the direction. How did it confuse us?”
"Rather than confusing, it's more like misleading!”
Zhang Muzhi pointed at a fork in the road not far away and said,""Look, we've passed through many of these intersections along the way. There are more rocks on one side and fewer rocks on the other. If you were to choose a path, which one would you choose?”
Ning thought for a moment and said,"I understand now. You're saying that most people will subconsciously choose the easy path, and thus, they will be unknowingly led to the wrong path by Devil Town's layout!”
" But..." Ning continued,""I remember that we have chosen this kind of intersection with more rocks a few times, but why…"
Zhang Muzhi continued to explain,""If there are only one or two wrong guides, then you can get out of the predicament by doing the opposite. But what if there are many?”
"You mean that even if we avoid one or two intersections according to the reverse thinking, there will be more intersections that will lead us in the direction of the thinking pattern!”
"That's what I meant!"
Ning suddenly understood, but a new problem had arisen.
"Although we now understand the truth behind Devil Town, how are we going to get out?”
Ning's problem was obviously the most urgent matter to be solved at the moment. The temperature difference between day and night in Devil Town was extremely large. The few of them had fled in a panic and basically had no supplies. Now that they had walked for more than an hour, Zhang Muzhi's physical strength was naturally not affected. However, even Ning was showing signs of a slight heatstroke, let alone naivety.
Xiao Hua and the black shrimp in the oil pipeline were also in a bad situation.
The two of them walked in the pitch-black pipeline for a long time, but the oil pipeline seemed to have no end.
The black shrimp leading the way was suddenly pressed down by Flowery. As soon as the black shrimp stopped, a drop of yellowish green mucus fell from the sky and landed on his sleeve. If Flowery didn't remind him, it would have landed on the black shrimp's head.
