Seeing Zhang Heng and Mei Nan's reactions, Milliped was a little shaken.
However, he still found it hard to accept such a surreal thing. A tunnel with no end, it sounded ridiculous.
However, he did see Zhang Heng pick up the one-dollar coin from the ground. Logically speaking, no one had entered this tunnel since it was abandoned fifty years ago. At that time, the one-dollar coin hadn't been invented yet, so the coin must have been thrown down not long ago.
Of course, there was another possibility. The two people who jumped off the platform dropped it. Milliped's eyes lit up again when he thought of this. He felt that he had found the only possible explanation. However, he didn't understand why Zhang Heng would lie about this. Considering the fact that Zhang Heng and Mei Nan insisted on listening to the rumors, Zhang Heng seemed to be purposely making the atmosphere a little scary.
It was only then that Milliped remembered that he didn't know who Zhang Heng and Mei Nan were. Before this, he didn't pay much attention to this matter. After all, as long as one wasn't a newbie in the workplace, they would know that it was better to avoid trouble. Zhang Heng and Mei Nan were arranged to participate in this rescue mission by the higher-ups, and Milliped had always been polite to them.
But now, he couldn't help but wonder about Zhang Heng and Mei Nan's identities. It was mainly because the two's attitude was abnormal from the start, and their focus was different from ordinary people. What surprised him even more was that Zhang Heng put the large travel bag he carried with him on the ground.
He opened the top zipper and took out a longbow from inside.
Although the longbow was wrapped in white cloth and couldn't be seen, Milliped still instinctively felt a chill. When Zhang Heng removed the white cloth and revealed the bow's true appearance, Milliped sucked in a breath of cold air.
It was the first time he had seen such a stylish longbow. The body of the bow looked as if it was made of bones, glowing with a pale white luster unique to bone stubble. Coupled with its ferocious appearance, it gave off a very ominous feeling.
Since he had a bow, there was no way he wouldn't have an arrow.
Then, Milliped saw Zhang Heng pull out a quiver from his bag. He took out an antique arrow and nocked it on the white bone bow.
When the arrow was pointed at Milliped, he felt all the blood in his body rush to his head. He did not know why, but he felt like he had nowhere to hide. Fortunately, Zhang Heng said politely, "Can you please step aside?"
Milliped's body froze for half a minute before he reacted and hurriedly moved away.
Zhang Heng didn't know if this method would work. Now that the three of them were trapped in this endless tunnel, they couldn't contact the outside world, and they couldn't use navigation. If they kept walking like this, they would probably end up like those people who went missing more than 50 years ago.
Therefore, Zhang Heng had to do something about it. He studied the game items he had on him and found that the Paris Arrow would most likely come in handy in this situation.
The unique feature of this arrow was that it would automatically hit the target's weak point after leaving the bowstring.
On the surface, this feature didn't seem to be of much help to the three of them in their current predicament. However, during the battle with Zavilcha, Zhang Heng used the Paris Arrow to find the monster's true body.
It was then that he discovered that the Paris Arrow also came with a navigation function. Of course, this navigation function wasn't easy to activate. Before Zhang Heng used the Paris Arrow, the target had to be within his line of sight. At the very least, the target had to be within his line of sight before the arrow left the bow.
In other words, if Zhang Heng couldn't see the enemy, he couldn't use this arrow to track them. However, there were exceptions. For example, when he fought Zavilcha, Zhang Heng was aiming at the melted wall, but the Paris Arrow led him to Zavilcha's true body in the library.
In other words, the Paris Arrow would recognize a part of Zhang Heng's control or a puppet as part of his body, triggering the Paris Arrow's ability to hit the target's weak point. However, Zhang Heng wasn't sure how wide this range was.
He wasn't even sure if what they were experiencing now was an illusion or something else. Zhang Heng decided to give it a try with the Paris Arrow first. If it didn't work, he would consider other methods.
In order to observe the Paris Arrow's landing point and direction, Zhang Heng did not draw the bow to its fullest extent. When he released his fingers, the Paris Arrow was released from the bowstring without hesitation and flew forward.
Mei Nan turned on the flashlight and nervously observed the trajectory of the arrow. She found that the Paris Arrow flew straight out, and there was nothing unusual about its trajectory. It just went straight forward. After that, its kinetic energy was exhausted, and it fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.
Did it fail?
Zhang Heng walked to the place where the arrow landed and picked up the Paris Arrow from the ground. After a moment of hesitation, he didn't put the arrow back into his travel bag. Instead, he nocked it on the Pestilence Bone Bow and raised the bow. This time, Zhang Heng didn't aim at the darkness in front of him. Instead, he aimed at the wall on his right.
Milliped blinked, not knowing what Zhang Heng was trying to do. It was already strange enough that he shot an arrow into the darkness, and now he was aiming at the wall of the tunnel. Was he hoping to shoot a hole in the wall and get everyone out of here?
Just as Milliped was thinking about it, Zhang Heng released his fingers again. The arrow on the white bone bow flew again, but what Milliped saw next almost made his eyes pop out of their sockets. The moment before the arrow hit the wall, it suddenly made an unreasonable turn and continued to fly forward, landing about thirty meters away.
What the hell was that?! Milliped was really scared this time. If he could still find an explanation for the one-dollar coin earlier, he really couldn't explain what he just saw. The arrow completely defied the laws of physics, and it made his back break out in a cold sweat.
Zhang Heng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect the Paris Arrow to actually work. It flew forward because the target was right in front of it. After Zhang Heng changed direction, the Paris Arrow automatically corrected its trajectory. So Zhang Heng persevered, repeating the action of shooting and picking up the arrow. He paid special attention to keeping the Paris Arrow within his field of vision.
After about fifteen minutes, the three of them walked out of the tunnel and saw another platform.
