"Are we just going to do nothing? Can we go back to the starting point and make a new choice from the very beginning?" An Ran raised this possibility by looking at An Yu with a frown.
An Yu sighed deeply when he saw his sister. He said with a worried look on his face, "The key issue now is, even if we want to go back to where we started, we have to see if we can actually walk back!"
"Why not?" An Ran raised an eyebrow at her brother and asked, "I started from the first cave we saw and marked every step I took. That's why I can be sure I'm going to a different cave each time. With those marks, why can't we go back?"
"Hmm... I think what Yunxi said makes sense. If we can determine the way back, we might as well go back and take a look. You can think carefully about whether we should go back or not!"
Jun Zichen had been frowning and thinking about something since he entered the thirty-two caves, and he remained silent. Only when he heard what An Ran said did he speak.
For a moment, the four of them fell into an eerie silence, each of them wondering which way to leave...
After a long moment, Xu Errong let out a long sigh, raised his head and looked at Jun Zichen, saying firmly, "Then let's go back. After all, you're taking the same route going forward, and you'll experience exactly the same things going back. So what's there to hesitate about?"
Three of the four people had already agreed to go back. Jun Zichen raised his eyebrows and looked at An Yu, asking calmly, "So, what about you? What do you think?"
An Yu glanced at Jun Zichen, Xu Errong, and An Ran, and said helplessly: "Since the three of you have chosen to go back, then I will go back with you!"
There was no conversation along the way. They followed An Ran, looking at the marks An Ran made at every distance, and walked back along these marks.
However, what shocked them was that they could no longer go back. The cave between the sixteenth and thirty-second entrances had been sealed off at some point!
The four people looked at the sealed cave entrance. A deep sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts. No matter who they were, after passing this same road, they would feel numb, as if they had never walked out before and were always standing still!
It was as if there were so many caves on this large mountain wall, which were usually closed. However, when you walked into this cave and came out, those originally closed caves opened one after another for some unknown reason!
And now, when you look back, no matter which cave entrance you go back from, it seems as if you have returned to the crevice where they hid because the cave collapsed!
"What have we encountered? Is it a formation?" An Ran looked at Jun Zichen helplessly and asked with some concern.
As far as she knew, there was a formation called Ghost Wall in her past life that could do this! She just didn't know if there was a similar formation in this world...
Jun Zichen also had a helpless and worried look on his face. He looked at An Ran and said irritably, "I don't know. I haven't come across such a formation before!
However, as far as I know, there is no such formation on the vast continent today, but I don’t know whether there was such a formation in the era when the Qilin mythical beast lived.
After all, after thousands and tens of thousands of years of inheritance, much has been lost, and what we see now is only the tip of the iceberg of those ancient philosophers.”
The four people were silent. It took them almost two or three hours to walk from the beginning to now. So, they were almost doing useless work.
"Then what should we do now? Staying here is not a solution!" An Ran calmed down a little and said to Jun Zichen, An Yu and Xu Errong.
Seeing the three of them remain silent, An Ran continued, "Why don't we just walk back? Resting in an open, bright place is better than waiting in a narrow, dark cave like this, right?!"
"Okay, since you want to go, let's go!" An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong said at the same time.
After all, if the four of them wanted to continue going down, those thirty-two cave entrances were where they had to go! Moreover, at least there, Xu Errong didn't have to waste his fire magic elements all the time and could preserve a little bit of his strength.
The group of four returned to the place with the thirty-two cave entrances and started to think about what to do next.
Xiaohuo and Xiaomei'er were also sitting obediently in Anran's arms at this time, not making any noise but quietly watching the four of them with frowns in thought.
Jun Zichen carefully observed each hole, comparing them bit by bit, just like playing "Find the Differences", not missing any corner. He even went several meters into each hole, searching different places carefully bit by bit.
After he walked through the thirty-two cave entrances, he was completely disappointed. These thirty-two cave entrances seemed as if they were carved out of the same mold, without any difference at all!
"It seems that we can only rely on Angel. This is his territory, and the Qilin beast will definitely guide him on how to get out."
Jun Zichen returned to An Ran in frustration. He sighed and raised this possibility.
Since he started to train on his own, this was the first time he encountered a formation that he couldn't handle. For the first time, he put away his arrogance and realized that there are always people better than you. Everything he learned, knew and mastered was just the tip of the iceberg.
You know, he was hailed as the number one genius on the continent back then. He was high-spirited and successful at a young age. He rode his horse to the capital, acting recklessly and without regard for anyone!
Even though he was later ambushed and seriously injured, he simply believed that those people used unfair means to make him surrender. If he came in an open and honest way, no one would be a match for him!
During those years when she was seriously injured, her personality was gradually erased and she became gentler. However, the pride hidden in her heart never disappeared!
Now, under the wisdom of the predecessors, he compromised and understood that the Tao is endless!
It was because of this idea and the change in his mentality that made him become more open-minded, his ideological realm was elevated to a higher level, and there were subtle signs of upgrading in his whole body!
