Chapter 97 Tracing the Desert (20) - Avoiding "One Million"
At this moment, Ning Shu's gaze swept over another recessed pattern next to her, and this pattern was even more familiar.
That's the shape of Anka, the object of Wu Yi's martial arts. This should be the "designated location" of Wu Yi's target object.
Thinking about this, Ning Shu felt a little depressed. She had helped others find all the clues for their missions, but she didn't have any clues for her own.
The little figure in Ning Shu's mind kept shouting and venting its dissatisfaction, but Ning Shu had no way to do anything about it.
Remembering that she had taken photos of the stone table before, she put the "heart" back in her bag, didn't linger, and turned back to find Wu Yi.
After returning to their original room, Ning Shu told Wu Yi about her discovery.
Wu Yi originally wanted to complain to Ning Shu that he was scared because she had been gone for so long, but when he returned, she told him that she had found the clues for his mission.
Wu Yi was so moved that he burst into tears.
"Sister Ning, you've been so good to me. How about I repay you with my body?" Wu Yi felt that he had no other way to repay Ning Shu.
Ning Shu refused, suggesting instead, "If you want to repay me, why not give me all your points?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yi immediately refused: "Sister Ning, you can deceive me with your body, but you can't deceive me with my points."
Cut it, get lost.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes at Wu Yi and continued walking towards the exit directly ahead. Wu Yi quickly followed.
Sure enough, there were traps all the way ahead. It seems that the original design of the tomb was intended for players to enter through the main entrance and then get lost in these three passageways full of traps.
But unexpectedly, one player emerged with exceptional combat skills and single-handedly destroyed all the mechanisms.
Wait, Ning Shu felt something was wrong with how things were developing; any path could lead into the main tomb chamber.
Why spend so much time dismantling the mechanisms on the other two roads even though it costs a million? Is there a valid reason to do so?
The way the expert thinks is indeed beyond the comprehension of a newbie like her.
Soon, they turned right, a turn that made Ning Shu realize that they were heading towards... a treasure room.
But she remembered that there were only two exits from the treasure room, and she had already passed both. Could there be a third exit?
"..."
"Sister Ning, there's no road here." Wu Yi looked at Ning Shu.
I'm not blind, I can see.
Ning Shu sighed and ordered Wu Yi, "Push the wall and see."
Wu Yi obediently stepped forward to push the wall, but it wouldn't budge. He looked at Ning Shu, waiting for her next instructions.
"Don't stop, the wall is only so big, push it all over," Ning Shu instructed.
She remembered that during the Red Brick Factory trial instance, she could directly pass through a wall to another place, and perhaps this place was the same.
The wall-penetrating event didn't happen, but Wu Yi did manage to push the wall open, revealing an exit that looked like a "door".
However, this "door" is a bit special. Its fixed axis is in the middle, and when it is pushed open, one side of the door faces outward and the other side faces inward.
The doors on both sides of the fixed axis are on the same straight line. The place Wu Yi pushed should be the fixed axis of the door, so it didn't move.
Ning Shu walked to the door and looked outside. The golden, opulent light shone on her face, confirming that it was indeed a treasure room.
At this moment, everyone in the treasure room looked at Ning Shu and Wu Yi.
Ning Shu recognized them; these were the players from the Oasis before, probably the ones Sister Li mentioned who had taken the other exit.
Their appearance was somewhat unusual, and the noise of them pushing open the door alerted the other players.
Several players inside started whispering among themselves:
"So there was another door here."
Where did they come from?
"Could this be the exit we just reached where there was no road? We're actually only one door away from here?"
"No way, then we've been taking a lot of unnecessary detours?"
The players only discussed it briefly before continuing with their work.
After seeing that the other players were no longer paying attention to him, Wu Yi asked Ning Shu, "Sister Ning, should we still go in?"
Now that Ning Shu knew what these corridors were for, she didn't really want to stay here anymore; it was just a waste of time.
She still wanted to go back to that unknown space and dig at the walls, and since Wu Yi's "designated location" had been found, it was time to go back and find his target.
"Let's not go in. Let's go back to where we were."
Wu Yi didn't understand: "Back where?" They had just been to many places.
Just as Ning Shu was about to step out, she saw golden light shining from the corridor leading to the sacrificial chamber. The golden light that illuminated the ceiling outshone the dim firelight.
One million has arrived! He's here!
Ning Shu didn't really want to run into him, so she pulled back the leg she had already stepped out and instructed Wu Yi, "Hurry up and close the door. Let's go back."
Wu Yi didn't understand, but he was obedient and quickly pushed the other side of the door back, successfully closing it.
After the door closed, Ning Shu turned and ran back. Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
After running around the bend, Wu Yi asked, "Sister Ning, why are we running?"
Ning Shu gave a good reason: "You don't want to pass the test? Of course you should go back and find clues to pass the test as soon as possible."
Wu Yi strongly agreed with this reasoning.
The two returned to the unknown space. As soon as they arrived, Ning Shu noticed that the million was not there, which was good news.
She summoned the game panel, drew an altar on the ground with her knife, and pointed the tip of the knife at the location of Anka's groove.
"The indentation shaped like an anca in the upper right corner should be the final destination of your target item. Look for it yourself."
Wu Yi looked at the pattern on the ground, a little confused: "Sister Ning, can I find the object just based on this 'picture'?"
Ning Shu understood what he meant. Although it was absurd, he was already very close to the result, and she hadn't even shown her face yet.
"Just look, there are so many 'anka' on the wall. First, eliminate the solid ones. Then, look at the shape of the remaining hollow ones to eliminate some of them as well."
If the rest are indistinguishable, just peel them all off and try them one by one on the altar; eventually, one of them will fit.
If there's no clever way, then a clumsy way is still a method.
"……All right."
Wu Yi felt that Ning Shu had already helped him a lot, and he couldn't be ungrateful, so he obediently did as she said.
Before leaving, he turned back to Ning Shu and promised, "Sister Ning, I'll come back to help you find it after I find it."
His confident demeanor made it seem as if he could really find it if he offered his help, but Ning Shu still accepted his kindness.
When she returned to the innermost wall in this area, she was dumbfounded.
What happened here? How could this be?
