2521 Searching for someone in the labyrinth (1)
When the runic airship advanced, it was always in the mountains, so few people saw it along the way.
They had to pass by the Heaven’s Wall city in order to head to the maze. However, Tang Zhen chose to pass by it. Moreover, he had deliberately lowered his flying altitude.
Obviously, this was to avoid trouble, to prevent the enemy from discovering the runic airships, and to make defensive preparations in advance.
During this period, that bone had tried to Scout out the situation in the enemy camp. However, due to the high trees and dense forest, it had not been able to see the specific situation of the enemy camp.
In fact, it was obvious that the enemy camp was heavily guarded against the church of the alarm Bell’s believers.
On the other hand, the believers of the Heaven’s Wall city discovered the runic airships. However, because they were too far away, they did not recognize the runic airships at all. They only thought that they were monsters living in the deep mountains and old forests.
There were monsters in this world, but many people could not come into contact with them. The appearance of the runic airships had also caused some chaos.
When they saw the runic airship leave, the church of the alarm heaved a sigh of relief and prayed that the monster would not come again.
Tang Zhen and the others, who had been treated as monsters, had already left the Heaven’s Wall city and were flying straight towards the labyrinth.
During this period, Tang Zhen asked the bone if it knew anything about the labyrinth. In the end, the bone said that it didn’t.
At the same time, he explained to Tang Zhen that there were countless remains in this world, many of which were unknown.
That was why there were so many adventurers who searched for ruins in the deep mountains and old forests for years. Although it looked dangerous, it really fed a large number of people.
There were many ruins near the Heaven’s Wall city that had not been explored so far. For example, the ancient tomb that was connected to the underground city was one of them.
The races of the previous civilization liked to build underground spaces. After they went extinct, these underground spaces were left behind, which was why there were so many relics.
Even the Heaven’s Wall city was left behind by that extinct race. The various races today were only slaves and savages in the past.
Since that bone didn’t know, Tang Zhen didn’t ask anymore. It was better to go to the scene first.
The runic airship flew at its maximum speed and finally arrived at its destination after more than an hour.
It turned out to be a huge Valley surrounded by mountains, with only one entrance blocked by the forest.
The environment didn’t seem to be naturally formed, but more like man-made. The purpose was to hide the existence of the valley as much as possible.
If one were to look at it from a distance, one would not be able to see the valley at all. Due to visual errors, one would only think that it was a complete mountain peak.
It was only possible to discover the Valley after approaching it, and it could only be discovered from a high altitude.
By the same logic, it would be difficult to come out after entering, because by then, one would already be in the labyrinth.
Looking down from the runic airship, one could see stone walls that were dozens of meters high. They crisscrossed in the valley, forming a huge maze.
There were also statues on the stone walls. Many of the statues had collapsed due to the erosion of the wind and rain over the years, and their surfaces were covered with colorful moss.
The mosses were very distinctive. They were more like large flowers, making the labyrinth look like a garden in the air.
The statues and stone carvings that had survived had now become blurry, and it was impossible to see their faces or their specific contents.
When one looked around, the feeling of vicissitudes hit one’s face, making one feel shocked from the bottom of their heart and marvel at the greatness and magic of the ancient people.
There was no need to think to know that a great amount of manpower and material resources must have been spent to build this super maze.
However, what was the purpose of building such a special building in the deep mountains and forests?
Tang Zhen was not interested in this.
He glanced at the maze and started to search for the cultivators from Lou Cheng who had asked for help. He didn’t let go of any suspicious spots.
This labyrinth was extremely large, covering an area of dozens of kilometers. Who knew where the other party was?
In the world of towers, there was no lack of super buildings, and many of them were beyond imagination.
Tang Zhen had seen countless super buildings that were even more spectacular than this maze. He had long been accustomed to it.
Just as he was searching for his target, Gu and the other two were also looking at the labyrinth below with shock on their faces.
This was the first time they had seen such a miraculous sight from a high vantage point. One could imagine the shock they felt.
Especially that bone. He couldn’t believe that such an ancient ruin was hidden less than a hundred miles away from the Heaven’s Wall city!
He wanted to ask Tang Zhen. However, after seeing the serious expression on the other party’s face, he ultimately did not speak.
However, he still took advantage of the height advantage to record the nearby terrain in case he encountered any changes in the future.
Tang Zhen had also stopped observing at this time. He controlled the runic airship to slowly move above the maze, constantly repairing the blank and missing places.
At the same time, he was also looking for Lou Cheng. He asked two believers to knock on the wooden barrel constantly, and through the sound of the wooden barrel, he could let the other party know that he was in the sky.
In the process of drawing the map, Tang Zhen discovered that the labyrinth’s builder had already considered the possibility of aerial surveillance. Therefore, some places had been installed with something similar to a cover.
In this way, the scenery below could not be seen, and the path would also change accordingly, misleading the observers in the air.
From this, it could be confirmed that once one was trapped in the maze, even if one could investigate from the sky, it would still be difficult to escape.
Of course, if they had the ability to fly, they would definitely not be trapped in the maze. If their companions were trapped, they would not be of much help.
After walking around the labyrinth, the two believers smashed the wooden bucket, but they still did not get a response from below.
They looked at the bone with questioning eyes, only to see the other party wave his hand, indicating that he would continue knocking.
The two believers had no choice but to pick up the wooden board and continue to knock on it.
“Your Excellency, are you looking for someone?”
After observing for such a long time, that Gu had also guessed Tang Zhen’s goal. However, he was curious as to why the other party had yet to show himself.
Tang Zhen nodded. There was no need to hide this matter. Na Gu and the others would find out about it sooner or later.
In fact, he was also thinking about how to deal with this matter.
It was impossible for the runic airship to stay in the sky all the time. Tang Zhen could not waste too much time here. If he could not find the target, he could only choose to evacuate.
At most, he would leave a letter and set a time with the other party, then he would take the other party out of the maze.
The problem was that the situation in the Heaven’s Wall city was grim. If Tang Zhen returned, he might not have the time to return to the maze.
Therefore, if possible, it would be best to take the cultivators here with him, and they could also serve as his helpers.
Tang Zhen looked at the map that he had just drawn and added a paragraph in the blank space.
He asked the other party to find a way to send a signal so that he could determine his location and tell the other party that he was in the sky.
If he couldn’t do it, he would try to go to the location marked on the map and wait for his rescue patiently.
After Tang Zhen finished writing, he absorbed the map and fused it with his body. After which, he looked below in silence.
If the other party did not update the shared map, they would not be able to find his message and would lose their last chance.
Tang Zhen did not have much hope in this. This was because even though the labyrinth was not small, there was not a single trace of a monster.
Cultivators of Lou Cheng earned their points from killing monsters. If there were no more monsters to kill, they would become poor and weak, like beggars.
Who knew where the other party had obtained the points for sharing the map last time? he had probably used up all his assets.
However, after thinking about it, Tang Zhen felt that there shouldn’t be a problem. After all, sharing the map also gave points. Perhaps this guy had already earned a lot.
As expected, just as this thought rose in his mind, Tang Zhen saw a wisp of smoke slowly rising from the ground on the left in front of him.
