Chapter 3018

Limestone chessboard

They had already been in the space-time distortion for ten days. In these ten days, they had only walked 935 steps, which was about 855 meters.

At first, they thought that the distorted zone wouldn't be very big. But now, it seemed that the area of the distorted zone was beyond their expectations.

If this distorted land was thousands of meters long, wouldn't it take them years to leave?

"Look, the space-time ahead doesn't seem to be distorted anymore."

Suddenly, Ma Yujie pointed to the front and exclaimed.

Zhuowen hurriedly looked over and saw that a normal passage had appeared about a kilometer away.

Seeing that they were finally going to leave this place, the four of them perked up.

A month later, Zhuowen's group of four finally left the distorted space and arrived at the normal tunnel.

This passageway was not long, and the four of them only spent two days to reach the end of the passageway.

At the end of the passageway was a stone room that was neither big nor small.

There was basically nothing in this stone room. The only decoration was the green stone chessboard in the middle of the stone room.

The strange thing was that the chessboard was empty. There was not a single chess piece.

"This stone chamber is sealed. In other words, this is the end of the passage. There is no other way!"

Ma Yujie walked around the stone room and frowned. He was a little depressed.

"Could it be that the Void Passages we found in both directions are not the correct exits?" Jiang Qisheng smiled bitterly.

Zhuowen observed the stone room and found that it was too ordinary.

However, it was precisely because it was too ordinary that he was even more puzzled.

Why would such an ordinary stone chamber be hidden in such a mysterious void passage? Moreover, the void passage had a space-time distortion zone.

He had personally calculated the distortion of time and space. It was not a natural formation, but a man-made arrangement. Clearly, it was set up to stop intruders.

Apart from that, it was obvious that someone had entered the void tunnel before, but there were no signs of them coming out.

Moreover, the traces of entry were relatively new. It was obvious that the person had been in there for less than a month.

Since that was the case, when they reached the end of the passage, they should be able to see the cultivator who had just entered this place. Even if that cultivator had died, there should be a corpse left behind. It was impossible for there to be no traces at all.

However, Zhuowen had observed that whether it was on the road or inside the stone room, there were no traces of cultivators at all. So where did the people who came in first go?

Thinking of this, Zhuowen's gaze fell on the green stone chessboard in the center.

He found a strand of hair at the southeast corner of the chessboard.

Zhuowen picked up the strand of hair and sniffed it. He smelled a refreshing fragrance. Clearly, this strand of hair belonged to a woman, and it had fallen here not long ago.

If the hair was here, then where was the person?

"Brother Long, I suspect that there is something wrong with this chessboard!"

Ma Yujie came to Zhuowen's side and naturally saw the strand of hair in Zhuowen's hand. He took another look at the green stone chessboard and said in a deep voice.

Zhuowen looked at Ma Yujie speechlessly.

This fatty must have seen him pick up the strand of hair, and that was why he said that.

When Ma Yujie entered the stone room, he didn't even look at the green stone chessboard.

However, Zhuowen didn't care about Ma Yujie's belated advice. Instead, he put the strand of hair in the palm of his left hand and formed a seal with his right hand, beginning to use the Art of Heavenly Divination.

Speaking of which, after entering this place, Zhuowen had used the Art of Heavenly Divination quite frequently. He had a serious feeling that his body was weaker than before.

This weakness didn't come from his physical body, but from his perception of his own lifespan. After all, using the Art of Heavenly Divination cost his lifespan.

Zhuowen knew that if he wanted to solve the problem of his lifespan, he could only continue to advance his cultivation base and gain more lifespan.

Fortunately, his original body had just advanced to an Eternal Overlord, so his lifespan had been replenished quite a bit. That was why he had been using the Art of Heavenly Divination repeatedly.

"This strand of hair belongs to Zhongli Hao Yan, and I've calculated that this is the real exit. The key is indeed this green stone chessboard," Zhuowen said.

"How can this chessboard help us leave this place?

I don't see anything special about it! "

Jiang Qisheng circled around the chessboard, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Ma Yujie, on the other hand, calmly circled around the chessboard three times. Then, he pretended to sit at the side and shook his head. "If I'm not wrong, this chessboard should be the foundation of a formation."

"To be more precise, it should be the foundation of a teleportation formation!

The chess pieces on this chessboard should be the key to activating the chessboard! "Zhuowen interjected.

"Chess pieces?

But there's no chess piece on this chessboard at all! "

Jiang Qisheng glanced at the chessboard, his eyes even more puzzled.

Yao Xiangjun was also puzzled. They didn't know much about formations. Even if Zhuowen and Ma Yujie said that this was a formation, they only knew a little about it at most.

"I'm afraid the chess pieces were taken by someone who came here first!"

Ma Yujie suddenly cursed the person who took the chess pieces for being immoral.

Zhuowen also agreed with Ma Yujie's guess. In the process of his deduction, he had indeed deduced this matter.

"Which one of you has jade stones?

The higher the grade, the better! "

Zhuowen said to Ma Yujie and the others.

"What do you want jade stones for?" Ma Yujie asked, puzzled.

"The chess pieces on this chessboard are refined using jade stones. I plan to refine the chess pieces and place them on this chessboard to completely perfect this formation. When the time comes, we can use this teleportation formation!"

Zhuowen's eyes were calm. Just now, in the divination of the Heavenly Divination Technique, he saw the vague shadow of a person activating the formation in front of the chessboard.

Although he couldn't see the figure clearly, he could see the positions of the chess pieces on the chessboard clearly.

He guessed that if he could restore the positions of the chess pieces on the chessboard, he might be able to restore the formation that existed in this chessboard.

"I have a lot of jade stones here!"

Ma Yujie quickly took out a pile of jade stones from his Spirit Ring.

Seeing these jade stones, Zhuowen's face suddenly became gloomy. This was because the jade stones that Ma Yujie took out were ordinary, the kind from the mortal world that didn't have much energy at all.

"Do you have any creation-grade jade stones?" Zhuowen asked in a low voice.

He felt that the formation of this chessboard was at least of the creation-grade, so the jade stones used to make the chess pieces had to be creation-grade at least.

"Creation-Grade jade stones?

Why don't you go rob someone?

How could I have them? "

Ma Yujie put away the jade stones and said unhappily.

"I know you must have them. This is the key to leaving this place and going to the place where Gonggong's body is stored. Are you sure you don't want to contribute some creation-grade jade stones?

Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you! "Zhuowen said with a shrug.

"Damn it!"

Ma Yujie had no choice but to fiddle around in his Spirit Ring for a while and take out a bag of jade stones to give to Zhuowen.
