Chapter 3224 Trap
The words of Mandrill are quite relaxed. You can reach the place you want by choosing any of the three roads! But where should we go? Death destination?
As for Ji Xiaoyan, she simply could not imagine how the maze in this state could end up in the same place from three different entrances! However, the mandrill didn't look like he wanted to explain to Ji Xiaoyan in detail. He just smiled at her and indicated that Ji Xiaoyan should choose another path, and then led Ji Xiaoyan to the trail.
Unsurprisingly, as soon as Ji Xiaoyan and the others stepped onto the maze path, all the statues standing on both sides of the path seemed to come alive instantly, and they all began to twist. Come, all eyes are looking in the direction of Ji Xiaoyan and Yushen Mandrill, but there is no intention to attack them as Ji Xiaoyan imagined!
But just looking at this made Ji Xiaoyan feel frightened. If he hadn't been following the mandrill, knowing that even if those statues came to life like this, they probably wouldn't be able to attack him. Ji Xiaoyan wouldn't be able to attack him. I want to take out weapons directly for defense.
Seeing the eyes of the statues following them, Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but look at Mandrill and asked: "Master Mandrill, are these statues alive?"
"Of course these statues are not. A living statue is just a statue." Mandrill smiled and said to Ji Xiaoyan, "City Lord Ji saw them moving, so he thought they were all alive. "
Ji Xiaoyan nodded quickly and asked with a bit of confusion: "If these statues are not alive, what is going on with them? If you just move and stare at us, you won't attack people, right?"
If it is just to scare people, Ji Xiaoyan feels that the credibility is a bit low.
"Of course they can attack people! Otherwise, what are there so many stone statues on both sides of the trail doing here?" The mandrill had a smile on his face, with a sense of matter-of-factness. He said to Ji Xiaoyan: "These stone statues were placed inside by the city lord. Supported by mana. Their mission is to determine whether all the indigenous people who enter the labyrinth have a killing value! If not, these stone statues will immediately start to attack those who do not have a killing value until they are killed. Kill them all!”
"This means that these stone sculptures actually act as guards, right?" Ji Xiaoyan understood a little after hearing this. After seeing the mandrill nodding affirmatively, he couldn't help but look at those stone sculptures. The stone carving asked after thinking for a while: "Master Mandrill, is their only criterion for distinguishing the aborigines is the killing value?"
"That is natural! The aborigines of our Sha City all have killing values! As for those Adventurers can now have There are not many adventurers with killing points. Even if they have the ability to have killing points, what can they do? It is estimated that it will be difficult for them to enter our evil city, let alone, they can't come to our city lord's mansion. Naturally, There is no need to guard against them! Of course, Master Ji, you must also be thinking, what should we do if there are some aborigines who have killing value and are not the aborigines of Sha City?"
< br>Ji Xiaoyan nodded affirmatively, his face full of doubts.
“Actually, there are not many aborigines like that! If they could really break through the mazes outside and get here, they would surely be jumped when they see these stone statues moving, and they would definitely start to defend themselves first. And so on. As long as they show hostility, these stone statues will attack them immediately. So, only the aboriginal people of Sha City are not afraid of these stone statues, so they cannot attack these stone statues. In this way, they will naturally not be attacked by the stone statues. With this explanation, Lord Ji, do you understand? ?”
Ji Xiaoyan frowned and thought about it, but he understood a little bit.
In other words, for these stone statues, the first thing they can identify is whether the indigenous people have killing value. If they have killing value, they will not attack the indigenous people or adventurers. But after these indigenous people or adventurers with killing points take the lead in showing hostility or intending to attack them, these stone statues will directly transform into attackers in a state of being alive. , attack the indigenous people or adventurers!
In other words, the ability of those stone statues to distinguish is these two.
After Ji Xiaoyan figured it out, he looked surprised. He couldn't help but said to the mandrill in admiration: "The Lord of the City of Tina is indeed very powerful! Such a method can be used to create Come out! If the aborigines with killing value come here and see these stone statues suddenly moving, they will definitely be scared, then they will definitely take out their weapons. , as soon as they move, these stone statues will attack immediately, and there is no way they will stop, right?"
"That's natural," the mandrill nodded with certainty and smiled. He said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Those aboriginal people have already taken action, and there is no way these stone statues will stop! They have already determined that those aboriginal people are invaders, right?" Since they are intruders, they will naturally be killed! However, if all the aboriginal people are like you, Master Ji, if they don’t move even if they see the stone statues moving, they will naturally be fine. Yes! This is considered a flaw.”
“I don’t think any aborigines would have encountered this kind of flaw! If a person comes here alone and sees these stone statues suddenly moving, they will tighten their weapons in fear." When Ji Xiaoyan heard what Shen Mandrill said, he quickly said with a smile, "If you don't follow Shen Mandrill, you won't. I don’t feel at ease with Master Mandrill! I have to thank Master Mandrill for guiding me, otherwise I would have been besieged here too!”
Mandrill smiled when he heard Ji Xiaoyan's words. He couldn't help but look at Ji Xiaoyan, and then said to her with some uncertainty: "Mr. City Lord Ji's words are quite flattering to me. !”
“No! Lord Mandrill is indeed too powerful! Master Shen Mandrill, you are so capable! I am naturally not that scared when I am with you and in Sha City. This is the truth!" Ji Xiaoyan said quickly to Shen Mandrill, all he wanted was to give him to him at least. Coax it, otherwise you won't know what is going to happen in the city lord's mansion when you look back! Having a mandrill with you will save you a lot of trouble!
Shen Mandrill naturally liked Ji Xiaoyan's flattering words. After giving Ji Xiaoyan a good look with a smile, he motioned for Ji Xiaoyan to follow him and continue moving forward.
This path of stone statues winds and twists, and finally, just like the mandrill said, it converges at a central location.
It was a large pond. There was a pool of green lotus leaves planted in the pond, but there was no flower at all. It looked a little out of place with the dark surrounding scenery.
"This place is like this. It is a place where the Lord of the City specially allows everyone to rest! How about it, it looks pretty good!"
"A resting place?" Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard this He was confused, "Who is this for rest? For those intruders?" Mandrill laughed, nodded seriously to Ji Xiaoyan and said, "How is it? Lord Ji, City Master, didn't think of it, did he?"
"I really didn't think of it!" Ji Xiaoyan suddenly smiled with a confused look on his face, but he didn't know what to say!
She was a little confused, what on earth was the Lord of the City of Tina thinking? After setting up such a stone statue passage, you also specially prepared such a resting place. What is this? Is it okay to encourage those who came to invade to attack their city?
"Lord City Lord Ji, don't you understand? When you look at the other two roads in this pond, your first reaction is that this is the end point of the other two roads that we didn't choose at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion before?" God Mandrill seemed to notice Ji Xiaoyan's confusion and asked her.
“Isn’t this true?” Ji Xiaoyan blinked, but couldn’t help but look at Shenpin in surprise and asked him.
"Look! I'm just saying that most people must think so!" Mandrill's face was full of smiles, and he said something seriously to Ji Xiaoyan, looking at her even more... With a puzzled look on his face, he pointed to the lotus leaf in the pond, and then looked at Ji Xiaoyan asked: "Lord Ji, City Master, take a look, besides lotus leaves, is there anything else in this lotus pond? Look carefully!"
"What else is there?" Ji Xiaoyan frowned, looking confused. Looking into the pond, there are lots of lotus leaves in the pond! It’s so densely packed that you can’t see anything else! But since Mandrill said so, there must be something in the pond that she didn't take a closer look at.
So, Ji Xiaoyan patiently scanned all the lotus leaves carefully, and finally found a crane-shaped stone sculpture among the many lotus leaves in the lotus pond. Come on, that thing is not big in size. It stands so quietly among the countless lotus leaves. It is not easy to see if you are not paying attention.
"Did you see it? That's what our Lord City Lord left here to show the way!" With a smile on his face, Shen Mandrill pointed in the direction of the crane and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Lord City Lord Ji, look at that. Is the direction the crane is looking at pointing to a road? "
Ji Xiaoyan nodded affirmatively, and suddenly had a guess in his mind.
The mandrill continued: "The direction of the road that the crane is looking at now is the correct road to continue to the city lord's palace. And the other road and the road we are taking now, On the other side of the city lord's palace gate, after the three roads were gathered together, I will definitely come out of this position. So, Lord Ji, do you understand?”
“Some understand, some don’t understand.” Ji Xiaoyan smiled slightly embarrassed when he heard this. Laughing, I feel that my IQ seems to be a little difficult to use.
"This is actually very simple! It's just a blind trick!" Shen Mandrill said to Ji Xiaoyan with a smile, "Everyone who arrives here will definitely think that there are three roads at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. , and here are also three, regardless of No matter how they go, they will definitely appear here. Then they will think that the other two roads must be back to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, so they must go back this time! Come on for free, right?”
Ji Xiaoyan nodded, as if this made sense.
"So, they obviously came here to find the city lord's palace, but they have reached here but there is no way. What should they do? They must not have missed any forks along the way. So, There must be other roads that they haven’t seen! But now, where else can they go but to go back? ”
Ji Xiaoyan blinked his eyes and couldn't help but look into the pond. He somewhat understood what Shen Mandrill wanted to tell him, so he quickly asked Shen Mandrill: "Master Shen Mandrill, you don't know how to You want to say that there is still a way in this pond, right?”
“Don’t Lord Ji think that this is what normal aborigines would think when they come here?” Shen Mandrill smiled. Looking at Ji Xiaoyan with squinted eyes, he said matter-of-factly, "Master Ji, think about it! If you had come here, you would have thought that the remaining two roads were turning back, and it would be impossible to lead you there. Deep in the city lord's palace, you must also be thinking, where is the real road? And there is only a pond here, so are you thinking, this road or the exit is actually here? It’s in the pond! Do you need to jump down to see clearly?”
Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while, nodded silently, and then looked into the pond for a few times, looking at the bottom. He couldn't help but look at the water and asked: "Master Mandrill, is there something hidden in the water that will kill the aborigines who jumped in?"
"There are no dangerous things in the water, but there are some in the underwater passages!" Mandrill said to Ji Xiaoyan with a strange smile on his face, "Since we are going to give it to the aborigines If we create such an illusion, we must not leave the pond with nothing! If there is something hidden directly in the water, the aborigines will be frightened if they go down to test it. Are they here? If they run away then, how can we kill them all? "So is there really a road in this pond?" Ji Xiaoyan's eyes widened for a moment, his face full of fear. Ji Xiaoyan looked at the mandrill with confidence and asked. After seeing the mandrill nodding in affirmation and laughing, Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but cover his chest, feeling that his imagination really couldn't keep up.
"The Lord of the City of Zhidina is really amazing! This operation is like setting a trap within a trap. If aborigines really come in, they probably won't be able to escape at all. Ah! "
"That's for sure! If you don't want to kill them, why set up so many traps?" Shen Mandrill said to Ji Xiaoyan with a sneer. (End of chapter)
