From Cheng Yu's point of view, the master of this place definitely did not gather treasure seekers like them together to kill them all.
It was just that every treasure seeker who wanted to obtain his treasures had to strictly follow the rules he set up and undergo his test. Only those who passed the test were qualified to obtain his treasures.
Moreover, he was also sure that there must be an exit from this place that could return to the human world.
After all, if he couldn't return after obtaining his treasures, what was the point of creating so many tests?
Therefore, Cheng Yu was not in a hurry to leave this place. He knew that if he wanted to find his treasures, he might need to spend some time. If he wanted to leave this place, he would need a certain amount of time.
In addition, Cheng Yu could also be sure that the exit that the master of this place designed to return to the human world was definitely different from the exit that led to the treasure trove.
If these exits were all the same, then wouldn't everyone be able to leave directly from here?
Therefore, there were only two possibilities for those who came here. They could not pass the test and die here or be trapped here. The other possibility was to pass the test and find the treasure trove before leaving this place.
According to this logic, under normal circumstances, they would definitely have to find the treasure trove before they would have the chance to leave this place. Otherwise, they would never be able to leave this place.
Therefore, seeing that there was a new staircase appearing at this exit, it was enough to prove that this exit was not the exit to return to the human world, but the entrance to another place.
However, facing such a situation, Cheng Yu did not show any disappointment because this was within the scope of his reasoning.
If there was an exit that allowed them to leave, it would make him suspicious.
However, what Cheng Yu was looking forward to the most was not leaving this place. He hoped that this new entrance could bring them to the treasure trove. That was the most important thing.
If that was the case, not only could they find the treasure trove, but there might also be an exit that allowed them to return to the human world.
"Young Master, let's go in and take a look first?" Elder Yang stood at the entrance and looked around. He was unable to see what was going on inside because it was different from the stone steps that led downwards. The stone steps inside led upwards.
"Follow behind me." Cheng Yu nodded and took the lead to enter the passage.
After all, his strength was stronger. Furthermore, his experience and vigilance were higher. Even if an accident suddenly appeared in front of him, he would be able to react immediately and not suffer a huge loss.
The stone steps weren't steep, but they were very long. One couldn't see the end of them at all.
However, Cheng Yu and his group did not dare to walk too fast. Every step they took was very careful. After all, there were a lot of traps set up here.
Although they did not find some of the mechanisms, it did not mean that there were no traps.
Even if they had already triggered the traps, if someone else were to barge in, they would most likely trigger some traps that they had never encountered before.
Therefore, it was always right to be cautious in such a place.
"I now understand why this palace is so tall," Elder Feng said as he carefully walked up the stone steps.
"Why?" Elder Yang asked.
"We've been walking on these stone steps for so long. I estimate that we're at least halfway up the palace. If we continue walking like this, I'm afraid we'll reach the top of the palace, "Elder Feng said.
"Perhaps the treasures of this palace are at the top," Elder Fang said.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the top of the palace so quickly," Elder Yang said as he looked up at the stone steps.
"It's hard to say. In any case, we can't see the end of this place. Perhaps, the path we're walking is really going to lead us to the top," Elder Feng said.
"Elder Feng's words reminded me," Cheng Yu suddenly said.
"Young Master, what do you mean by that?" Elder Yang asked.
"We've already discovered two passageways. The previous passageway was heading downwards. This meant that the place we arrived at was the lowest level of the palace.
Now that we've walked up, from the distance, we should be at least the height of two palace halls. In other words, our current position should be one level higher than the hall we entered at the very beginning.
This meant that the space inside the palace was also distributed layer by layer. However, if we wish to enter the other layers, we must pass through these passageways.
Perhaps, the treasures are really at the highest level of the palace. If so, we need to find the passageway to the highest level, "Cheng Yu said.
"But this is only a guess. The treasures might not be at the highest level of the palace. It might be at the center," Elder Fang said.
"En. This is also a possibility. However, previously, we were clearly in the same passageway. However, the palace hall that appeared in front of us had changed. This caused me to think of another possibility, "Cheng Yu said.
"What possibility?" The three of them were puzzled.
"If we were to divide this palace into different levels, do you think that for such a big palace, every level would only have one palace hall?" Cheng Yu said.
"This …" Everyone was stunned. Obviously, they had never thought of such a problem.
"Young Master, you mean to say that every level of the palace has a different palace hall? Furthermore, every palace hall will change?" Elder Yang said.
"It's impossible for every palace hall to change. We have yet to discover any more palace halls. Just take the previous strange situation as an example. We had temporarily divided each level into two palace halls. If these two palace halls are actually rotating, would the situation we encountered previously appear again? "Cheng Yu explained.
"Therefore, what we saw at the start was one of the palace halls. When we returned, the two palace halls had already rotated. Therefore, what we saw was the other palace hall," Elder Feng seemed to have understood Cheng Yu's words as he said in realization.
"Do you think there's such a possibility?" Cheng Yu nodded.
"If it's like this, it can explain why we appeared in two different palaces when we walked through the same passageway.
However, how does this palace hall rotate? Why don't we feel anything at all? "Elder Yang asked, not fully understanding.
"This isn't a problem that we need to consider. I think there will be a way to do it. It's just that when we were outside the palace, we saw that the palace was indeed very big.
Although the palace hall looked very big, two palace halls were not comparable to the size of the palace. Therefore, I suspect that in the same level, there might be more than two palaces rotating. Perhaps, there might be three or four palaces or even more, "Cheng Yu said.
"But why would the master of this palace do this? This doesn't seem to have any meaning! "Elder Fang asked doubtfully.
"Not necessarily. Have you heard of the wheel game?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Wheel game? Don't understand! "The three of them looked at each other before shaking their heads.
"In the secular world, there's a wheel game. It's a big disc that is evenly divided into several pieces. On each piece, there's a different game content written on it.
Rotating the disc, using the method of throwing darts to choose the game content. Whichever area the darts are nailed to, you have to complete the game according to that area's content, "Cheng Yu explained.
"Oh! I understand. Young Master, you are saying that every level of this palace is like a big disc.
This big disc is divided into several palace halls. We are like the darts. Different palace halls are rotating in front of us. When we walk through this passageway, we will coincidentally encounter a palace hall. We have to follow the rules of the palace hall to find the passageway to the other level! "Elder Feng said in realization.
"That's right. That's the reason. Therefore, when we returned from the passageway, the palace hall would be different. Because the palace hall had already been rotated," Cheng Yu nodded.
"It seems to be the case. But I still don't understand why the master of this palace would do this?" Elder Feng asked.
"This is a kind of test! Think about it. This time, we found the passageway so quickly. Don't you think it's too simple?
If it's the palace hall we saw at the beginning, don't you feel that the palace hall was obviously filled with danger? Do you think that we would be able to find the passageway so easily in that palace hall? "Cheng Yu said.
"Young Master is trying to say that every level has a different palace hall. Every palace hall represents a different degree of danger?" Elder Fang said.
"That's right. This is a test of our luck and strength. If we are lucky, we will encounter a relatively safe palace hall. Furthermore, it will be easier for us to find the exit.
If we are unlucky, we will probably encounter a dangerous palace hall. Or it will be difficult for us to find the exit.
Of course, if we are unlucky, we might have to use our strength to speak, "Cheng Yu explained.
"If that's the case, wouldn't we become someone else's game tool?" Elder Feng said.
"This is real life. Actually, no matter which world we live in, we are all the ruler's game tool. It's just that we don't know about it," Cheng Yu sighed.
Previously, without Elder Feng's reminder, he had never thought of such a situation. However, with Elder Feng's reminder, he immediately thought of such a possibility.
In fact, when they came to a foreign place, if they were able to quickly understand the place, it would be very beneficial to everyone.
If this palace was really like what he had guessed, then it would be very helpful for their upcoming adventure in this palace.
"Young Master, if that's the case, then are we going to wait for the safest or easiest palace hall to enter?" Elder Fang asked.
