After Qin Xiao and Lang Jinghong observed for a while, they began to move forward cautiously.
Since they couldn't figure out anything, they might as well take a look as they walked.
The eerie white skeletons were half-buried in the dust and sand, and it was so mournful.
These skeletons were all Ancient Saints when they were alive. Most of them were probably at the second step of the Ancient Saint Realm.
The scene in front of them was really like the sentence on the stone tablet: No Yellow Springs, White Bones Grieving.
At this moment, Qin Xiao also deeply felt such a scene. They hadn't seen the Yellow Springs yet, but the ground in front of them was already full of white bones.
Amidst the eerie atmosphere, one could almost hear the mournful wails of the dead Ancient Saints. It was a mournful wail.
"Just how frightening and dangerous is this trial? Just now, we only saw more than three thousand Ancient Saint corpses in the first stage. The number of corpses in this stage has probably increased by ten times or even a hundred times, right? I don't know how big this world is. Currently, as far as the eye can see, there are only white bones. Just the number of corpses in front of me is no less than ten thousand. "
"Adding up the entire world, I don't know what kind of terrifying number it has reached."
"So many Ancient Saints have died here. I don't know how so many Ancient Saints died. At present, it seems to be calm here. I don't feel any danger there. "
"However, danger is definitely everywhere. It may appear at any time. What we need to do now is to find the way to the next stage as soon as possible. "
"The longer we stay in this world, the more dangerous it will be."
He understood the logic, but sometimes it wasn't easy to do it.
"Hmm?" Qin Xiao's gaze suddenly fell on a white bone. He saw that there was a strange pattern on the white bone.
Lang Jinghong also saw it. After looking at it strangely for a while, he said, "Brother Qin Xiao, this is strange, isn't it? This pattern shouldn't have been carved by this Ancient Saint himself, right? It should have been carved on after the person died and turned into white bones? "
"If it was carved by someone, then this pattern should have some deeper meaning, right? It should be trying to express something, right? "
"That existence told us not to let go of any small things. Everything that exists has its reason for existence. Did that mean that there was a reason for the existence of this case? Is it a clue to pass the stage? "
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a possibility. We should be bold enough to think about any possibility. Perhaps, they could all become clues. "
"Since it exists, I'm more willing to believe that this pattern was carved by someone.
"However, the existence of this pattern is so obvious that it is somewhat suspicious. The simpler something is, the more likely it is to be confused."
"If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so many Ancient Saints dying in this trial."
"So, even if we have to boldly assume all possibilities, we can't believe these assumptions too much. We still have to deal with every situation carefully."
..... that.....
It was right that existence was reasonable, but what was reasonable did not necessarily mean that it was useful. They had to understand this point.
From the experience of the first stage, they knew that the mixture of truth and falsehood would often confuse people.
The Maze Palace left by the owner of the Maze Palace was probably not a test of strength, but more of other aspects.
The two of them continued to move forward. Sure enough, they soon found strange patterns in other places.
Every pattern was different, and they were all very strange. Moreover, each pattern was very simple. They could not see anything at all. It was just a very simple thing, a bit like a child's graffiti, the kind that was completed with a few strokes.
Some were found on white bones, some were found on weapon fragments, some were found on armor, some were found in the desert, and some were found on stones.
Along the way, they had discovered quite a number of patterns. In total, there were more than ten patterns.
But along the way, other than discovering this pattern, they didn't discover anything else, nor did they encounter any danger.
"Brother Qin Xiao, what do you think is the purpose of these patterns? What are they trying to express? What are they trying to tell us? After looking at them for so long, I still feel that I am confused. Do you have any ideas? "Lang Jinghong asked.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't have any ideas for the time being. Like you, I am also confused."
"I feel that these patterns should be telling us what they are trying to express."
"I also feel that these patterns should be closely related to us going through this stage, but I really can't understand what these patterns are trying to express. I can't find any pattern between them, and there is no way to connect them together."
"Maybe, for the time being, we can't figure out what these patterns are trying to express, but it might come in handy later."
"For the time being, we haven't encountered any danger. It should be because we haven't entered the real test yet. Maybe these patterns are giving us some early hints, so that we can find a way out in the test later. "
"Yes, it should be." Lang Jinghong nodded in agreement.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly trembled.
This sudden change immediately made Qin Xiao and Lang Jinghong perk up immediately. They scanned their surroundings with an extremely vigilant expression, trying to cope with the changes by sticking to the status quo to see what exactly was going on.
The ground was moving. Was there something underground?
It should be the arrival of the dangerous test.
"Brother Jinghong, be careful. There is something underground." Qin Xiao said to Lang Jinghong.
"Hahaha, Brother Qin Xiao, don't worry about me. You should take care of yourself. Who knows, I might even have to help you later." Lang Jinghong laughed heartily and said jokingly.
Just as Lang Jinghong finished speaking, the sand under his and Qin Xiao's feet suddenly sank, quickly forming a huge deep pit.
This deep pit was like a gate to hell. Once they were swallowed, they would definitely lose their lives.
From the deep pit, a strong devouring power surged out, wrapping Qin Xiao and Lang Jinghong like a tornado, trying to suck them in.
Moreover, the wind was getting stronger and stronger. The more they resisted, the deeper they would sink.
Qin Xiao naturally knew that he couldn't fight with these damn things for too long. The best way was to leave quickly. Once he was entangled, he would probably be swallowed.
Once he was swallowed, he would probably lose his life.
Qin Xiao didn't hesitate and fled quickly, leaving the deep pit that swallowed people.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao reacted in time, so he escaped successfully. Fortunately, the deep pit didn't chase after him, so he successfully avoided it.
However, as soon as he avoided the deep pit, Qin Xiao felt that the sand under his feet quickly disappeared, forming a deep pit. Therefore, Qin Xiao also left quickly and successfully avoided it.
However, this wasn't the end. Soon, Qin Xiao found that deep pits appeared on the ground one after another. There was one that was very dangerous. Qin Xiao was just about to go over and was hit. Fortunately, Qin Xiao relied on his calmness, calmness, and his own strength to break free from it and quickly avoid it.
The situation was not good.
"What the hell are these deep pits? Don't tell me that the Ancient Sages who have died here have all died in these pits? "
"It feels like these deep pits should be very scary. Once you are swallowed, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that you will lose your life."
"There are more and more deep pits. If you want to avoid them, you have to rely on luck."
"Some of the deep pits are bigger, and some of them even appear together. In such a situation, there is no way to avoid it. If you can't break free from it with your strength, I'm afraid you can only admit defeat. "
"I'm guessing that most of the Ancient Saints who died here really died in these deep pits, right?"
"It can't be a dead end. There must be a way to survive."
"Are there any connections between the dozens of patterns I saw just now and the current situation?"
In a flash, many thoughts flashed through Qin Xiao's mind. He was looking for a way out.
In the current situation, it was obvious that he would be courting death if he fought head-on. There was no way to fight head-on with those deep pits. He could only find a way to avoid them.
However, there were deep pits everywhere, and the safe area was getting fewer and fewer.
Moreover, those deep pits appeared randomly. If you were not careful, a deep pit might appear as soon as you went over and directly swallow you.
For the time being, Qin Xiao could barely avoid those deep pits. However, as time went by, Qin Xiao felt that he would soon be unable to avoid them.
As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
If this went on, he would soon fall into the trap.
Obviously, in the face of such a test and danger, he definitely could not continue to hide like this. He could not fight head-on either. Then, he had to find a way to solve it.
And how to solve it?
Those patterns —
Qin Xiao thought of those patterns, but for a moment, he could not figure out how those patterns were related to the situation in front of him.
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he could not connect them at all.
Qin Xiao had gone through the dozens of patterns in his mind several times. He had also made all kinds of possibilities and conjectures, but he still couldn't find any clues.
It seemed that there was no connection between the two at all.
Those strange and irregular patterns didn't look like a map, nor did they look like anything.
On Lang Jinghong's side, the situation was similar to Qin Xiao's. It was not good.
If this went on, the two of them would not be able to hold on for long.
Even good luck would run out eventually. Moreover, when those deep pits were increasing and appearing faster and faster, it was useless no matter how good their luck was.
Looking at this trend, it was already very fast.
If they did not think of a way to change this situation, there would be no more chance. It would be a dead end.
What should they do?
They had to think of a way quickly. If they could not think of a way, it would be death.
"It's a shortcoming to be brave but not resourceful. This should be the best time to show resourcefulness, right?"
"The patterns —"
"It must be those patterns. It must be related to those patterns."
"Along the way, I paid attention to all the small details. I did not miss any of them. Those patterns appeared frequently previously, as many as a dozen. "
"These must not be meaningless. There must be some use. Now that such a predicament has appeared, it means that those patterns must be related to the current danger. It's just that I haven't thought of that level yet. "
"But what I should firmly believe is that it must be related to these patterns. Those patterns must be a breakthrough."
