"Why don't I go first!" Yun You You was suddenly eager to try.
"Are you sure?" Lin Dong laughed when he heard that.
"Even without you bringing me along, I can definitely pass this stage." Yun You You could not tell what the protective array of the greenish-white bridge was but she could sense that something was strange about this place. Her sixth sense was extremely sharp and she knew that the protective array of the underground palace had already approved of her entry. The entire space did not have any killing intent. To her, this was a good test.
"Then I will wait for you on the other side of the bridge!" Lin Dong looked at the time and made an estimation. "How about this, You You, your time limit is one hour. Qianjun and Ye Qianru, your time limit is six hours. If you still can't pass after the time limit, I will come out to get you. Before that, you can continue your challenge. I will go in and search for treasures first. Haha! Oh yes, I will generously give all of you a piece of advice, including You You. Don't believe in your own eyes because eyes can sometimes lie to you … Believe in your heart, especially when it is difficult to make a choice. Do it according to your heart. Perhaps the effect will be the best. "
"Believe in my heart?" Yun You You seemed to understand.
"Don't believe in my eyes?" Qianjun and Ye Qianru were confused.
"I will go first and give you a proper demonstration." Lin Dong laughed.
He closed his eyes.
His footsteps were steady and unhurried as he walked along the bridge.
Regardless of whether the small bridge was high or low, or whether it was turning left and right, he maintained a constant speed forward. In the sight of Yun You You and the other two girls, he gradually walked further and further away. After about ten minutes, Lin Dong's figure became an extremely small shadow and disappeared at the end of the small bridge. On the mirror-like surface of the lake, a faint mist floated up, perhaps because someone had broken the tranquility of the past by walking on it. Under the illumination of the colorful light, it looked like the veil of an exiled fairy. It was half covered and half covered, adding a bit of hazy, dreamy poetry.
This time, even Yun You You's eyes could not see Lin Dong's back.
"Has he arrived?" Qianjun asked.
"I don't know either, but it's been fifteen minutes. He should be here by now." Yun You You suddenly sat down cross-legged and adjusted her breathing. She waved her hand at Qianjun and Ye Qianru. "I need to think about how to proceed. Within an hour, I must pass. Otherwise, that blockhead will always look down on me! There are no traps here, you guys can try it out first! "
"…" Qianjun really wanted to say that it would take him six hours to cross such a short distance.
But those were Lin Dong's words, and she couldn't doubt them.
At first, she thought that there were some traps blocking the way. Now that she heard Yun You You say that there were no traps, she was even more puzzled.
What was the secret of this bridge? Six hours to get through? What's more, you can't trust your eyes, but your heart?
Qianjun was confused. Not only her, but Sea Witch Ye Qianru was also full of questions. The two of them looked at each other and then at Yun You You, who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting her breath, entering a meditative state. The two of them did not want to disturb her, so they decided to personally go up and try to figure out what was going on.
The two of them stepped forward at the same time.
They watched each other.
At first, it was very smooth. In less than five minutes, they had already walked a long distance. When they looked back at Yun You You, they realized that she had already become a small dot. Looking ahead again, the underground palace was almost right in front of them.
Did they pass so easily? There was nothing strange about this bridge at all!
The two of them quickened their pace and ran excitedly.
The outline of the underground palace was getting clearer.
It was right in front of them.
The dreamy mist floated past, bringing with it a slight coolness. It made the two girls who were running feel extremely comfortable … In front of them, another turn and they would reach it. The two of them looked at each other again, maintained the same speed, and maintained their vigilance as they continued to run forward.
The bridge was sometimes high and sometimes low, but this design posed no difficulty to warriors like Qianjun and Ye Qianru.
One had to know that if they weren't afraid of taking the wrong path, they could directly jump to the corner at the side. Although the design was a little strange, there was only one path from the beginning to the end. Even if one was an idiot with no sense of direction, as long as they knew one direction and kept moving forward, they could easily reach the end. As they got closer to the underground palace, Qianjun and Ye Qianru almost cheered. They exerted their strength and stretched out their four long legs. At the same time, they ran up what seemed to be the last slightly upward slope. As long as they went down, they would be able to turn into the straight path in front of the entrance of the underground palace.
They were here, they were here!
The two of them rushed down the bridge happily and dashed into the straight path …
However, what was unbelievable was that after they rushed down the bridge, they didn't see any imperial mausoleum or underground palace. Instead, they saw Yun You You sitting cross-legged on the bridge, deep in thought.
How could this be!
"Ah, impossible!" Qianjun and Ye Qianru exclaimed. This bridge clearly only had one path and there were no forks. How did they end up in front of Yun You You? Moreover, just a few seconds ago, they saw the straight path in front of the underground palace. How did they end up at the entrance of the bridge by the lake? If Lin Dong hadn't walked over previously, they would definitely have thought that the design of the bridge was to return to the starting point.
"I knew that you would do this!" Yun You You opened her eyes and looked at Qianjun and Ye Qianru with a smile. "Did you not understand a single word that Lin Dong said just now?"
"Did we go the wrong way?" Ye Qianru probed.
"You did not go far at all. To be more accurate, you have never gone the right way." Yun You You You smiled and raised a finger. "It's my turn now!"
She closed her eyes.
Similar to what Lin Dong did, she walked forward step by step.
After walking for a while, Qianjun saw her turn around the corner and disappear. After a while, he saw Yun You You turn back from the bridge in front. Yun You You did not wait for them to question her. Instead, she was surprised. "I see. Interesting. Let me start again!" Qianjun and Ye Qianru could only watch her walk on the bridge. As they walked, they suddenly heard Yun You You fall into the water.
Then, they saw a dripping wet Yun You You walk back slowly from the bridge.
"There's no need to ask. I'll start again. This time, it should work!" Yun You You walked on the bridge for the third time. From time to time, they heard her step wrong and fall off the bridge into the water. Soon, ten minutes passed. Fifteen minutes passed. Twenty minutes passed. Thirty minutes passed. Yun You You You did not turn back.
"Did she succeed?" Qianjun was not sure.
"Let's do it this way. I'll walk. You stay here and watch me. If I turn back, remind me." Ye Qianru decided to use this method.
Qianjun nodded in agreement and took out his binoculars.
She stood guard at the bridge.
She watched the road ahead for Ye Qianru.
Ye Qianru jogged all the way. Every once in a while, she would take a stone and place it on the bridge as a mark to show that she had crossed it.
Just like that, when she reached the slope previously, she suddenly realized that there was a fork in the road ahead. She was pleasantly surprised. "Aiya, we were running too fast just now. I didn't notice that there was a fork in the road. It seems that this is the real passage!"
She put down a stone on the fork and ran in, pleasantly surprised.
She waited for her to rush out along the fork.
She realized that Qianjun was staring at her with his mouth agape …
"What's going on? I clearly found the real entrance! "Ye Qianru felt that it was unbelievable. There was only one road at the bridge. How could there be another passage? She immediately turned and ran. She followed the stone and ran to the slope again. She searched carefully and realized that not only was there a fork in the road, there was also a very obvious passage on the other side.
Ye Qianru did not rush in immediately. Instead, she searched the surroundings carefully. After confirming that there was no third fork, she placed the three biggest stones on the road in a triangular formation and slowly walked in. After two turns, she realized that as she walked, Qianjun was staring at her with his mouth agape …
"I'm going to faint!" Ye Qianru was speechless. This bridge was indeed strange. No matter which way you walked, it would always send you back to the starting point.
"It's my turn to try!" Qianjun passed the binoculars to Ye Qianru.
"Don't take the fork with the stones. They are all wrong." Ye Qianru reminded her.
Qianjun walked along the way and didn't find any stones. When she came back to the slope, she didn't find any fork. However, there was a small platform about three to four meters in front of her. Then, along the small platform, there seemed to be a path that led to an unknown place. Qianjun thought that the reason why Yun You You fell into the water was because she wanted to walk past this place. She closed her eyes and walked, so she fell into the water. From the looks of it, walking up the slope was definitely wrong. Jumping onto the platform was the right choice. Qianjun jumped lightly and landed on the small platform. She walked along the platform and realized that there were two more platforms in front of her. Each of them led to a different path.
Left or right?
She couldn't make a judgment.
However, one of them must be right.
After thinking about it again and again, Qianjun chose the left. She jumped over the left and walked forward quickly … Then, she realized that Ye Qianru was waiting for her in front!
The left was wrong. Yun You You chose it again after she fell into the water. She chose the right path that time, which proved that the right path was on the right. Qianjun waved her hand at Ye Qianru and walked back quickly. She finally reached the last slope and ran to the small platform. She continued forward and found the two small platforms on the left and right. This time, she didn't choose the left path. She aimed for the right path … This time, she must be right! Qianjun made a mark and jumped over happily. She ran all the way … But in the end, she still ran back to Ye Qianru's side inexplicably!
"What the hell!" Qianjun couldn't help but ask Ye Qianru, "What did you see with the binoculars?"
"I saw you running all the way without stopping. After a while, you disappeared. Just when I thought you were about to reach the underground palace, you came back! What do you think of me? "Ye Qianru asked. Qianjun instantly nodded her head dejectedly," I think you're the same! "
"Is it impossible to cross this bridge with my eyes open?" Ye Qianru asked doubtfully.
"Let's try?" Qianjun decided to close her eyes and give it a try.
In the end.
They were still back to the starting point.
No matter what method they used, there was only one result, and that was to return to the starting point … The most terrible thing was that every time they walked this seemingly ordinary bridge, they would discover that it was different from before, and it would always change slightly. The stones that Ye Qianru placed were nowhere to be found. None of the marks that Qianjun had left behind could be found.
There were crossroads sometimes and sometimes there were none. It was the same for the platforms.
Every time they thought they had reached the end and reached the underground palace, they would mysteriously walk back to the starting point of the bridge.
"Damn it!" Ye Qianru frantically threw the marked stones in her hand into the lake.
"Calm down, we need to find the correct passage. Getting angry won't solve the problem." Qianjun also wanted to get angry, but she knew that it would be even more useless.
"Swim over, we'll keep swimming around the underground palace. I don't believe we'll make a mistake this way!" Ye Qianru made up her mind.
"Ah, okay then!" Qianjun also had no better idea, so she could only agree.
The two of them looked at the underground palace in the distance.
They kept swimming forward in the lake, alternating to remind each other of the direction and the goal.
Unfortunately, after passing through a few piers, they were shocked to find that the underground palace was far behind them, and in front of them was the starting point of the shore where they had just entered the water.
Ye Qianru climbed onto the shore and sighed in exhaustion, "Not to mention six hours, even if I had six days, I still wouldn't be able to cross this damn bridge! I've never seen such a strange bridge in my life. It's even more versatile than Monkey Sun, who knows how to change seventy-two ways. It's a different thing every time. I'm convinced! "
Qianjun gathered the courage in her heart and decided to walk again, "There must be a way. Lin Dong and Yun You You have crossed it, we can definitely do it too! It's only been two hours and we are still far from six hours. Even if we take one step every minute, I don't believe we can't cross this bridge! " Her determination made Ye Qianru feel ashamed. She quickly stood up, "I'll go too. It's better to walk together than to walk alone!"
At the entrance of the underground palace, Lin Dong had already finished touring the first level and was taking a nap.
Yun You You saw that he had woken up and waved her hand, "You do what you need to do. I'll look after this place. They won't be able to arrive so quickly. I'll stay here and try to comprehend this miraculous protective array."
"This illusory protective array is indeed not bad. I reckon that there's such a treasure maintaining it in the underground palace. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so powerful. However, are you sure you're interested in it? "Lin Dong thought to himself," You're a Martial Cultivator girl. It's strange that you're interested in illusory arrays. " Yun You You's interest in illusory arrays wasn't in using illusory arrays to evolve anything. Instead, it was to cultivate one's mind and focus. When Lin Dong heard this answer, he sweated profusely. As expected of a Martial Cultivator girl. Of course, this wasn't a bad thing. He even used treasures to tempt her, "I have an Illusory God's Pearl. It's top-notch when used to cultivate focus. How about I exchange it with you?"
"Exchange for what?" Yun You You saw that this brat wanted to take advantage of her again. She suppressed her rejection and decided to tease him first.
"Your jade pendant!" The thing that Lin Dong wanted the most was her jade pendant.
"No way!" The Martial Cultivator girl gave him the most direct answer.
"You don't even know how to use it. This is a reckless waste of a heavenly treasure!" Lin Dong lamented that the treasure was covered in dust.
"Hmph!" Yun You You's heart almost softened. She quickly maintained her composure and strengthened her will. She didn't want this brat's words to affect her. Before her master acknowledged him and before he became her lover, he shouldn't even think about touching this jade pendant. This pendant represented that meaning …
