C125 Wise and Brave to Kill the Worms

After a while, they decided it was safer to stay alone. At least that way, they could know how long this tunnel was, and where the turning point was.

Murong Ke was guarding the first position. Because he was injured, it was inconvenient for him to move more. Next was Wu Daozi, Sha Tongtian, and the others. They arranged one person every five steps. When they were in the twenty people's row, he suddenly felt that the position was a little strange.

That's right, his position was indeed a little strange because he looked to the left. The person on the left was a little slanted, and then looked to the right. The person on the right was also a little slanted. This kind of situation wouldn't happen again.

When it was the forty-second person, he also had the same thought. Most importantly, when the seventy-first person arrived, Murong Ke was standing next to him!

In other words, he was standing at the end of the tunnel, which was the starting point.

Murong Cheng walked for a while, but he couldn't find out how this tunnel was set up, because it looked like a straight tunnel, and he could see the last person at a glance.

At this time, the people at the turning point suddenly said their discovery. Murong Cheng went forward and observed it, and found that it was true. He suddenly realized that the tunnel had indeed turned in some places. However, the reflection of the bronze mirror on the wall had finally affected people's sight and senses.

A person's first sense was usually their vision. Once their vision was misled, it was very likely that their brain would make a mistake.

They had all been affected by this, which was why they had misjudged the direction, and thus thought that there was no end to this road.

The most ingenious part of this design was that if they were not careful, they would miss out on those few turning points. If it were not for the fact that there were many people, they would not have been able to find the turning point so easily.

However, even if they found those turning points, what could they do? Could it be that they could find a way out? This seemed to be another unsolvable problem.

They were surrounded by iron walls. For the time being, they thought that the maze was designed to buy time to trap the trapped people here. Then, what should they do after solving the mystery of the maze?

Zuo Xiping's eyes were staring at the first turning point. He said lightly, "Why can we find this secret? That is. Because someone doesn't want us to find this turning point.

Turn point. She was so smart that she was fooled by her own intelligence. "

Many people did not understand what he meant. Murong Ke nodded and said," It seems like that is indeed the case. Since they deliberately mislead us, Murong Ke said. Then there must be a place where light can be released. "

Everyone came to a realization. Zuo Xiping smiled. He seemed to think that it was a good thing that Murong Ke and he had not conspired with each other. He pointed to the bronze mirror at the turning point and said, "As long as we find out where the first ray of light came from, we can definitely find a way out! Because the designer also needs to go out. She can't possibly trap herself here"

Murong Cheng seemed to have understood the reasoning behind it. He walked to the bronze mirror and examined it from left to right. He used his body to block the bronze mirror. In an instant, the place became dim.

In other words, the light here was not reflected by the bronze mirror. Then, where else could it be? Zuo Xiping walked to the starting point. He knew that this place had the same structure, so he used his body to block the copper mirror. In the blink of an eye, the tunnel was pitch black.

However, there were still some places with weak lights. This meant that the place was where the light beam came from. Everyone was shocked. Those who were originally unable to raise their spirits also stood up.

Lee Yulang walked at the front. He touched the light bit by bit. The light became brighter and brighter in front of his eyes. After he walked for a while, the light in front of him suddenly disappeared!

He stepped back again, and the light appeared again. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He was about to say something, but the light in front of him suddenly became like a raging fire, rushing towards Lee Yulang's face. After a burst of burning sensation, Lee Yulang fainted.

Lee Yulang had always been proud of his handsome face. Now it seemed that his handsome face had disappeared without a trace. What was left was only charred skin.

No one could bear to look at his face. Then what kind of fire would burn him to such an extent? Just now, everyone only saw a beam of light rush out. It was only for a short moment. As for the exact location of the light, they could not say. They only knew that it was in that direction.

Zuo Xiping hurriedly rushed over. When he discovered the situation, he asked, "How did he stand just now? What was the direction of his face?"

Someone imitated Lee Yulang and demonstrated. Zuo Xiping shook his head. This was not right! If that was the case, then the fire would not be in the direction they were pointing at.

Someone argued. "It's absolutely true. I didn't even blink when I saw the fire rush out from that direction. He was too careless, if he had been more careful just now, nothing would have happened "

" Oh? What do you mean? Could it be that he deliberately came over? " Zuo Xiping asked.

That person explained, "Just now, he had already walked over. Later on, for some unknown reason, he returned. Only then did he encounter that fiery light "

Zuo Xiping frowned. He looked at Lee Yulang's burnt face and seemed to understand everything.

The reason he came back was because he could no longer see the light in front of him. The last bit of light should be the exit! So he walked back. Judging from the burns on his face, The wound on the right side of his face was obviously stronger than the one on the left side, and. . . The right side of his head was also burnt. In other words. . . This flame was not like what everyone had said, it was shot out from the left side.

Lee Yulang should have also seen the flame on the left side, so he turned his head and looked towards the left. He never thought that the real flame would come from the right side. The reason why everyone only saw the fire on the left. . . It seemed that the principle was the same. They used mirrors as reflectors, and the amazing thing about this place was. . . Every time a person walked past this place, they would first see the fire on the left side. The moment they saw the fire on the left side, the right side of the fire was already burning.

In other words, the fire on the right side came earlier than the one on the left! This was a very elaborate design. In order to create a time difference between the reflected light and the real fire, she had to adjust the reflective tool, which was the angle of the copper mirror. Besides, it was impossible for a copper mirror to complete this task.

Thinking of this, Zuo Xiping could only sigh. In order to verify his thoughts, he had decided to make a trip. This was the only way. After asking about the length of the flame, he deliberately pressed himself against the bronze mirror on the left and walked forward.

Someone shouted, "Sir, Are you crazy? There's fire on the left! " Zuo Xiping did not answer him. At this time, Murong Ke walked up and said lightly: "What Sir did is reasonable. Let's just wait and see. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zuo Xiping walk back. He sighed and said: "Did you see the fire just now?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see it. Zuo Xiping sighed and said: "Neither do I. But I have clearly walked the path that Lee Yulang took just now. "

What did this mean? Murong Ke seemed to be shocked. " Could it be that only by walking on the right side will I trigger the flame? "

Zuo Xiping nodded. "Not exactly. I think the designer must have controlled the range of the fire to be within the range of burns. In other words, in order to find the source of the light, one person must be burned, and another person must be observing from the side. "

This matter was truly evil, and many people began to feel like throwing up. Who would be willing to take the initiative to burn their own face like that?

"Could it be that I can't squat over there? Wouldn't that prevent me from getting burned?" Wu Daozi asked and looked at Sha Tongtian who was standing beside him.

Sha Tongtian was much shorter than the average person. He stood there like a person half-squatting. Therefore, if he slightly bent his waist, would he be able to avoid the fire?

Sha Tongtian glanced at Wu Daozi. His face suddenly changed. Although he looked ordinary, he would never be willing to destroy his face! No matter how ugly it was, it was still his own face.

Sha Tongtian shook his head. "I don't think this will work. It won't work, right?" He placed his hopes on Zuo Xiping. Zuo Xiping pondered for a long time. He nodded and said, "This may be a good idea. "

Sha Tongtian also understood that this was a good idea. Because from the position of the burns, only Lee Yulang's head was high enough to burn.

Sha Tongtian walked forward step by step with heavy steps. Zuo Xiping said, "This may not necessarily be necessary for you to go. I can also go!"

Sha Tongtian smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Forget it. Old Sha is not very useful to me. Sir can still provide suggestions and suggestions for everyone here. Old Sha only has one request. If anything happens to me, I hope everyone can take care of me. "

Sha Tongtian did not hesitate for long. He had already walked over. When he reached that place, a flame suddenly flew out from the top of Sha Tongtian's head. Zuo Xiping quickly looked over and saw the source of the fiery light.

They all heaved a sigh of relief. Sha Tongtian also let out a long breath. Just as he was about to leave, the fiery light actually turned around and headed towards Sha Tongtian. Sha Tongtian did not manage to dodge in time. His entire body was corroded by the fiery light.

Everyone rushed over and tried to put out the flame for him, but no matter how hard they tried, the flame couldn't be put out. Zuo Xiping held onto the wall beside him, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Wu Daozi fiercely knocked on the ground by the side, regretting that he had come up with such a bad idea to harm people.

Only Murong Cheng was clear-headed. He had never said a word from the beginning to the end. Instead, he was observing quietly. Perhaps, he knew the origin of this fire, but he was not sure. He was waiting for someone to test it out. The result was very obvious, exactly what he had thought.

Not long after, Sha Tongtian gave up struggling. He fell into the sea of fire and turned into dust. Everyone lowered their heads, unwilling to say another word. They felt very powerless right now.

Murong Cheng said coldly, "It's the Fire Star Worm, not the fire. " As soon as he said that, Everyone was in an uproar. For a moment, they had no idea what Murong Cheng was talking about. Zuo Xiping struggled to wipe away his sweat. Realizing that his sweat had turned cold, he sighed and said, "The Starfire Insects are a kind of poisonous insect in the Western Regions. According to records, they carry fire with them. And once it touches the skin. Then, this piece of skin will turn into scorched earth. "

" Why didn't this harmful thing destroy them all? " Wu Daozi slapped the floor and said angrily.

Zuo Xiping explained. "The locals obviously wanted to kill them. The process was very difficult. After two hundred years, the star bug disappeared from people's sight. "

"Then why did it appear here again? Did they not destroy them at that time? " One of them asked.

"That's right, they only disappeared from people's line of sight. A portion of them turned into harmless starworms. They only emitted light, and the harmful part of the starworms were said to have hidden in the desert. Only there could they never meet humans again. " Zuo Xiping seemed to be struggling. He smelled the burnt smell and felt like vomiting.

What kind of person was controlling them from behind? Zuo Xiping's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Although some people had paid the price, they still had no way to deal with the Fire Star Bugs.

"Sir, do you know how to deal with these annoying bugs? Now that we know where they are hiding, wouldn't it be much easier to deal with them? " Wu Daozi wiped away his tears. He only wanted to take revenge for Sha Tongtian, so he asked fiercely.

Zuo Xiping sighed and shook his head. "I read all these introductions from ancient books. There are no detailed explanations on how to deal with them in the books. So. . . "

Before he could finish, Murong Cheng interrupted, "I know how to deal with them. "

He remembered when he was in the desert, he and his son went out hunting. In the middle of the night, he found a group of wolves surrounded by fireflies.

From time to time, there would be wolves that would burn themselves. Later, those wolves would gather together and pee. Then, they would roll around in their own potholes. Those bugs actually disappeared into the darkness one by one.

Later on, Murong Cheng found out that these bugs were actually afraid of peeing! After that, Murong Cheng and his son had encountered these bugs many times. All of them had been peed out.

Now, it seemed like those insects were no different from the ones they had encountered now. In other words, the method to deal with them was the same.

When Murong Cheng said the method, everyone laughed. Fortunately, there were no women here, so there were many people who took off their clothes.

Under Zuo Xiping's command, they threw a pile of clothes covered with urine into the hole where the starworms were. The hole immediately produced sizzling sounds. Murong Cheng knew that it had worked.

Not long after, the hole gradually dimmed. Before everyone could react, Murong Cheng stepped forward and put his hand into the hole. He took out the clothes from the hole.

Everyone couldn't help but feel impressed. If they were to choose a leader now, it would be Murong Cheng.
