Chapter 121 The Suspended Gate to the End
Do those stone gate passages have hidden ends?
If that's the case, then she'll take it more seriously.
Regardless, she still has to go down there again.
Before going down, ask the little lamb again if it knows anything.
We can't waste this NPC that issues the quest.
In fact, Shen Jue asked, but the little lamb didn't answer her, or rather, it did answer, but Shen Jue couldn't hear it.
This really leaves no room for error.
If you can't get an answer from them, then forget it. Just focus on getting underwater and completing the mission!
Arriving at the stone gate passage with practiced ease, Shen Jue was suddenly relieved that the mission had no time limit.
If there's a time limit for a task like this that's completely unpredictable, then you might as well just wait to die!
The dungeons set up by the game system usually have a way out; they won't directly force players into a dead end. There must be something she hasn't discovered yet.
Shen Jue first walked through the stone gate passage to familiarize herself with it.
The first attempt yielded no results; not a single piece of information was found.
Shen Jue did not give up. She changed her approach. Since she had not gained anything from this stone door, she would try another passage.
Try them one by one, and you'll eventually find the problem.
After Shen Jue had searched through all 15 remaining stone passages, he still found nothing.
If once isn't enough, try twice; if twice isn't enough, try three times.
I can always find something different.
Through her tireless efforts, Shen Jue finally discovered the unusual nature of the passage.
From the moment you enter through the first gate, as you walk to the middle, there are some subtle changes.
The change was not very obvious; it was so subtle that Shen Jue had to go through different gates multiple times to confirm whether the change had occurred.
After more than 20 rounds of observation.
The evidence does show that things have changed; as you walk down the middle of the path, the marks you leave behind become shorter, and the entire passage is compressed.
If we really calculate it that way...
Before long, the 16 doors will become 15 doors, the 15 doors will become 13, 12, or even just two doors, and eventually there may be no space left to live.
If it hadn't been discovered early, and the compressed space had only become increasingly scarce, she would have been in ever-growing danger, and it would have been unseen and unpredictable. At that point, she would have been even less able to save herself.
Shen Jue did not want to die in this way, nor did she want to face the consequences of failure.
What's most frustrating is that this is an unsolvable dungeon quest; there's absolutely no way to break it.
The passage shortens with each door you pass through. You can't even find the end.
Especially in times like these, we must not be discouraged. Continuing on is impossible; with each new stone gate opened, the passage will continue to shrink.
This would be detrimental to her mission; it's a deep pitfall.
The sheep NPC who issued the quest didn't say anything.
They probably knew she wouldn't pass this test and would die sooner or later.
Game systems and dungeon NPCs cannot be judged by ordinary standards. If I manage to get out of this dungeon alive, I will definitely not hold back against the NPCs there.
Faced with this situation, she was not without options; she had the space card given to her by Master Zhijiu.
This spatial card allows her to use her mental power to create an image of herself, which can then travel freely through any space without affecting any other space.
This card was the only one with special functions that Master Zhijiu gave her as a token of his gratitude before she left.
She thought the card was very valuable, so she put it in the first compartment of her backpack to ensure she could access it at any time. Originally, Shen Jue thought she wouldn't use the card so soon.
I never imagined that so little time would pass before I would need to use this card.
The card he took out still had Master Zhijiu's consistent style; it was an oversized gold card with intricate and exquisite patterns on its surface.
It is very powerful and just right to deal with the current predicament.
Fortunately, when they arrived here, she didn't ask Qingfeng to check and help in other passages. Instead, she asked Qingfeng to come with her. If they were in different stone gate passages, and she discovered that something was wrong with the passage while Qingfeng didn't, causing the passage to keep compressing, then it would truly be game over, with no way out.
Shen Jue used the space card without hesitation. Then, she felt that her mental energy was very active when she was illuminated by the light of the card. Instantly, she formed another self and traveled through the entire space as a special spiritual body.
Her body remained stationary, but her spirit could repeatedly traverse this space, centering on her current body, until she found the necessary node.
This ability is equivalent to mental teleportation, ignoring any walls. The card shows that with her current mental strength, the first ten minutes do not consume mental energy, so she needs to make the most of the time.
She was familiar with things related to mental strength.
The only downside is that this card is a one-time use card; it's gone after this one.
She absolutely had to get out of the dungeon alive this time. After she got out, she would bring a generous gift back to Thousand Rabbit Island to properly thank Master Zhi Jiu, and also ask him if he had any similar cards.
She is willing to spend a huge sum of money to buy it.
Shen Jue used his mental power to traverse back and forth in this space.
She searched for details she hadn't seen before, again and again.
After using the space card, the entire passageway seemed different to her.
She could even see her own body standing still with her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.
She circled the passageways with her spiritual form for a long time but found nothing unusual. She felt something was wrong; the space would change every time she reached the middle of a passageway.
Since her body stopped moving, her spirit moved around, and the space no longer compressed.
Based on her current location, it's similar to the middle section of the passage. Thinking about it this way, it seems that this space is different from where her original body was standing.
Because she was a spiritual being, she was able to pass through the passage and come to the bottom of the passage, where she saw a suspended door.
Beside that stone gate, a notice was clearly printed.
(This is a special realm, an invisible gate, not visible to the naked eye.)
Seeing the suspended stone gate in her spiritual form, Shen Jue finally understood why she hadn't seen any prompts despite walking back and forth so many times before.
It turns out that this is because the field is different, and because the field is different, she needs to be in a different form to see the prompts.
It seems the game system finally realized something was wrong and was worried that some players might have a bug like Shen Jue.
This checkpoint is probably meant to verify whether she is the heretic.
Shen Jue guessed that her hint had become invisible for this reason.
Now, she saw the notification in a different state, and she was still using a system item, so the game system wouldn't suspect her.
Once you've determined that this suspended stone door is the key to clearing the dungeon, simply create a sloping passage beneath her original body, and then unlock the door to complete the mission at the end of the stone passage.
The established location.
Shen Jue walked around the outer passage again.
She was certain that outside the passage, there was only a suspended gate several meters below her feet.
This is how the space card was deactivated.
After the space card failed, Shen Jue, whose spiritual body returned to its physical form, realized that he was mentally exhausted.
I feel like I can fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes and lie down.
"I absolutely can't sleep right now," Shen Jue immediately pulled out a mental recovery potion and downed it in one gulp.
Only then did I feel my mental energy ease a little.
