Long Fei Ye wanted to shout at Tang Li?
Everyone was puzzled. Tang Li also had a suspicious look on his face. "Brother, what are you trying to do?"
Using this method wouldn't attract Bai Yanqing. It would only make Bai Yanqing hide further away!
"Don't talk nonsense. Shout!" Long Fei Ye urged impatiently.
Tang Li shouted, "Ah!" and even dragged out the last syllable. Han Yunxi and the others covered their ears, but Long Fei Ye listened attentively.
After shouting, Tang Li looked at Long Fei Ye and seemed to have remembered something. He immediately turned around and ran back to the stone room.
When Long Fei Ye and the others caught up, Tang Li was already shouting in the stone room!
His voice was very loud, even louder than the first time. Even so, the volume didn't seem to be enough to travel far. It could only be heard nearby.
Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue weren't stupid. They quickly understood what Long Fei Ye meant.
They were in a hurry to save people earlier, so they didn't realize this. Now that they thought about it, it was really strange!
Even if Ning Jing's voice was twice as loud as Tang Li's, if she shouted in the stone room, her voice might not have traveled that far, right?
Han Yunxi remembered that it took her a lot of time to get here. This proved that she wasn't close to Ning Jing.
"Could it be that Ning Jing isn't here? But it sounds like the voice is coming from the stone room? "Gu Beiyue asked curiously.
Tang Li frowned and pondered. Soon, he exclaimed, "I get it!"
He pulled out his sword and looked for a mechanism on the ceiling as he explained, "Ning Jing should be at the top of the stone room. I remember reading in a book about mechanisms that some mazes use special structures and sound amplification stones to transmit sound. In special positions, normal sounds will be amplified, and even affect the judgment of the people in the maze. "
Han Yunxi was surprised by his words. There were plenty of sound amplifiers and silencers in the modern world, but she never expected Cloud Realm Continent to have such a non-electronic design.
Sure enough, there were many strange things in ancient times, and the ancient people were smarter than the modern people.
"Brother, we might have been deceived. Ning Jing and Su Xiaoyu might have been together all along! It's at the top of the maze. "
Tang Li was very excited. Every time he found a clue that could save Ning Jing, he was full of hope. Although his hopes were dashed every time, he never gave up.
Long Fei Ye also raised his sword and helped Tang Li knock on the ceiling to look for the mechanism.
Gu looked at Tang Li and suddenly realized that this fellow wasn't simple after finding so many hidden mechanisms!
Tang Li really wasn't simple. Ever since he was young, he was much more interested in the design of mechanisms and secret passageways than he was in the design of hidden weapons. Because the two had many similarities, he learned the art of mechanisms very quickly. He could understand even the most complicated and obscure ancient texts.
Tang Li had never encountered a mechanism that he couldn't find in his life.
Soon enough, he touched one of the mechanisms.
"Brother, all of you get out of the way. Go to the left and be careful of hidden weapons on the right," he looked back with a serious expression.
Looking at Tang Li like this, Han Yunxi couldn't help but feel hopeful. She believed that Tang Li would definitely be able to find Ning Jing.
As soon as Tang Li activated the mechanism, multiple hidden darts flew from the ceiling to the right side of the room. They were so fast that it was impossible to guard against them.
If it weren't for Tang Li, who knew how much danger they would have to go through.
"Tsk tsk, amazing!" Gu was never stingy with his praise.
Tang Li turned back and chuckled. "Of course!"
He touched the mechanism again, and the two stone slabs above his head slowly began to move. When he looked up, he saw that there was a hidden passage with no end in sight.
Tang Li immediately wanted to fly up, but Long Fei Ye stopped him.
Long Fei Ye wanted to go up, but Gu beat him to it. It was safer for him to be the vanguard.
Without needing Tang Li to explain, Gu flew up and attached himself to the stone wall. He shouted down softly, but unexpectedly, his voice was amplified.
"Gu, quick, look around. Is there a red stone nearby?" Tang Li quickly said.
Gu lit a match and looked around. He chuckled and said, "It's not just one, it's a circle! We'll bring them out later. "
The stones around him were all red and felt very strange to the touch. They were the Amplifying Stones that Tang Li mentioned.
Gu whispered something to the stones, and his voice was amplified immediately. It was louder than before.
"I guessed right! Ning Jing must be up there! "Tang Li was overjoyed.
If it were any other time, he would have immediately dug up those Amplifying Stones. Those were all treasures. However, no matter how good the treasures were, they could not compare to his precious Ning Jing!
"Brother, I've seen this setup before. This secret passage is very high, at least ten stories high. Let's go up quickly. Bai Yanqing might still be down there! "Tang Li said anxiously.
"Gu, go up!" Long Fei Ye immediately urged.
Gu did not dare to delay and flew up. Gu Beiyue followed closely behind, Tang Li was in the middle, and Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were still at the back.
Bai Yanqing might still be down there in the secret passage. He definitely did not expect them to find this passage. As long as they could find Ning Jing before Bai Yanqing, it would be too easy to save her.
The four of them went up. They were nervous but hopeful at the same time, especially Tang Li. The corners of his mouth were always upturned. He even forgot to be nervous.
As long as they could find Ning Jing, everything would be fine. As long as they could find her and see her!
There was no need for too many words. Gu tried his best to rush up again and again, hoping to be faster. After all, his speed determined the speed of the people behind him.
Tang Li was the slowest. Gu Beiyue waited for Tang Li and pulled him up to fly up. Han Yunxi was led by Long Fei Ye. They quickly passed through the secret passage and arrived at a stone room.
They came out from the right wall of the stone room and saw that the stone room was empty. There was no one in sight. There was also a hole in the left wall of the stone room. There was a slanted passage in the hole, and they could not see the bottom.
There was no doubt that these two holes and the passage below were used for sound amplification. They did not guess wrong. Ning Jing and Little Yu 'er had been together all this time.
The sound they heard was not the original sound, but a sound that was amplified in different directions.
Tang Li was disappointed again.
However, he no longer needed Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's comfort. Seeing that the stone door was open, he was the first to rush out and saw that there was a passage outside the stone room.
Han Yunxi was about to speak, but Tang Li did not chase after them. Instead, he turned back.
He did not say a word and immediately began to check the entire stone room. In the end, he came to a conclusion. "There are only three exits in this stone room. Two sound amplification passages and one door. They might have escaped through the door, or they might have escaped through another sound amplification passage. "
"Which one do you choose?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Tang Li looked at everyone with a serious face. He was obviously hesitating. After a while, he said, "The sound amplification passage."
Long Fei Ye knocked on his head. "Impossible! Let's go out and look for them, quick! "
Tang Li looked calm, but he was anxious.
The sound amplification passage was the most unsafe. If they could not control Little Yu 'er and Ning Jing well, the two of them would shout a few times inside, and everyone in the maze would hear them.
Tang Li did not understand, but he did not have time to think about it. As long as it was his brother's judgment, it could not be wrong!
The group did not delay. They immediately went out and chased along the passageway.
Han Yunxi and the rest did not take the wrong path. At this moment, Ning Jing and Little Yu 'er were being escorted in the direction of the exit.
Although this level of secret passageway was not a part of the maze, the route was very complicated. There were several intersections that led to different directions. Although they would not go far if they took the wrong path and would only meet with a dead end, it would take a lot of time to turn back.
The most depressing thing was that these intersections were not organized at all. There was no pattern at all. Even if someone was familiar with the secret passageway, they would not be able to take the right path.
There were only two ways to save time and avoid detours. One was to know the route, and the other was to rely on luck.
Han Yunxi and the rest could only rely on luck.
The two men in black who were escorting Ning Jing and Little Yu 'er knew the route. They had just received their master's order to bring these two hostages to the exit as soon as possible.
They did not know what was going on. They only knew that their master wanted to take the hostages and escape from this place.
Ning Jing and Little Yu 'er's hands were restrained. They walked in the middle while the two guards walked on either side of them.
Little Yu 'er deliberately bumped into Ning Jing several times. Ning Jing understood what she meant.
Although they did not know what Bai Yanqing wanted to do, they guessed that the reinforcements should have arrived. Otherwise, Bai Yanqing would not force them to shout like that.
Now there were only two guards escorting them. Bai Yanqing was not around and this was the best time for them to escape.
Ning Jing did not have much strength and her martial arts were very weak. Although she was helpless, she could only pin her hopes on Little Yu 'er.
Su Xiaoyu walked and walked and suddenly stopped, "Aiyo, I ….."
"You? You have a stomachache? Haha, stop putting on an act! Go! "The guard immediately reprimanded her.
"No, my stomach hurts!" Su Xiaoyu did not leave. Instead, she knelt down.
The guard did not care where she was in pain as long as she didn't die.
The guard lifted her up and carried her on his shoulder before escorting Ning Jing forward. "Hurry up!"
Su Xiaoyu hung upside down on the guard's shoulder. That pair of big eyes flashed with a trace of craftiness and a dark needle silently emerged from her mouth.
If Bai Yanqing was around, she would absolutely not do such a stupid thing like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
But if there were only two guards around, even if it was a stupid thing, she must take a gamble!
She suddenly spat out the dark needle. The dark needle did not shoot at the guard who was carrying her but shot at the neck of the guard who was escorting Ning Jing.
"What is it?" The guard was shocked and reached out to touch it.
Just at this moment, Ning Jing suddenly turned around and fiercely knocked the guard to one side before running forward.
The guard who was knocked away was on his last breath. He was not injured by Ning Jing but by Su Xiaoyu's poison needle. If there was no antidote, he would die in a while.
This guard was of course a poison expert but unfortunately, Su Xiaoyu's poison needle was obtained from Han Yunxi. She had been keeping it until now so that she could use it on her blade.
Not to mention this guard, even if Bai Yanqing was here, he might not be able to detoxify this poison.
The guard who was carrying Su Xiaoyu was not someone who was easy to deal with. He was afraid that Su Xiaoyu would poison him again so the first thing he did was to throw Su Xiaoyu towards Ning Jing. At the same time, he immediately shot out more than ten poison needles!
