Bulwark of Light

Chapter 577 Thousands of 【Doors】

Perhaps it was because of the exhaustion of his mind that he accidentally said the word Styx.

But Gu Shen was not flustered.

His expression remained unchanged, he looked at the long knife in Mu Wanqiu's hand, and smiled softly: "This trick is useless to me, I know...you won't use the knife."

Mu Wanqiu gave a cold "huh": "You think you know me well?"

"Of course not."

Gu Shen shook his head.

Although his mental strength recovered a little, his voice still sounded a little weak: "But I know...you are different from those in the Beizhou military. If I were any other captain, I wouldn't dare to say that."

Mu Wanqiu was slightly taken aback.

"We met here, which explains a lot of things... I don't believe that your appearance here is an accident or a coincidence." Gu Shen said slowly: "Is there anything that can make you, the first team of the dignified investigation legion The S-class ace, willing to take the responsibility of violating discipline and acting privately? I think what is this place, even if I don’t tell you, you know it in your heart.”

When I just made a slip of the tongue.

Mu Wanqiu's face did not show shock or astonishment, but suddenly became dignified.

Obviously... she already knew the secrets related to Styx.

What Gu Shen was curious about was how did she obtain this information?
Wait a minute.

In the mind, a flash of light suddenly appeared.

Gu Shen remembered that before the start of the restart mission, he had visited Mu Wanqiu, but that time he was turned away... The reason why he went to visit at that time was to peep into the dream in advance, so that Gather as much information as possible about the disaster situation in the Doru River.

It is a pity.

Mu Wanqiu refused everyone to dream.

Now that I think about it, the reason why she did this is obvious.

Her dream is different from Zhong Yuan's.

Not a mirror dream.

Rather... a dream related to "Styx".

And her ability happens to be named [Judge], which is very similar to Duoluhe's ghostly temperament, and it is very likely that she has some kind of imperial karma with Styx.

Therefore, this forbidden dream about Styx must be kept secret from everyone.

Even captain Lu Zhe is no exception!
Thinking of this, Gu Shen smiled and asked, "So, you dreamed about it through [Judge]?"

This statement came out.

Mu Wanqiu's pretty face instantly turned cold, and a ray of anger appeared in her eyes.

"Crack!"

The saber was really out of its sheath!
After being pushed out an inch, dense thunder exploded!
The stone wall beside Gu Shen's cheek suddenly shattered!

He raised his hands, smiled helplessly, signaled himself to surrender, and shut up obediently.

Ok.

Although I wanted to get Mu Wanqiu's answer...but the knife just now was already an answer.

It is yes to become angry from embarrassment.

Mu Wanqiu slowly withdrew her knife, and said coldly, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

This guy has a good brain.

It's just that the words are really unpleasant, no wonder he was hunted down by Zhenyue.

Gu Shen accepted it as soon as he saw it, and quickly smiled: "Understood. You are the biggest now."

He was seriously injured.

It was all because of Mu Wanqiu's rescue that he survived... In the next road, before he recovered, he needed to rely on Mu Wanqiu's efforts.

This girl is strong, and her fighting style is hard enough and ruthless, but she still lacks a bit of insight in communicating with people.

Regarding her coming to Styx, Gu Shen felt that there was no need to ask more questions at this moment, and he would gradually know about it in a short time.

It is worth noting that.

The moment Mu Wanqiu made a move, Gu Shen unleashed blazing flames. Both were S-ranks and both transcended two realms. His spiritual level and Mu Wanqiu's were actually on par with each other.

So Gu Shen predicted it immediately, Mu Wanqiu's saber just now was just a warning, so he didn't dodge.

But what surprised him was that even Chi Huo couldn't capture the complete ghost image of [Judge]... It can be seen that this guy's speed is unimaginable!

According to the intelligence of the Beizhou military, [Judge] has a spiritual ability, but his induction just now seems to have another mystery!
[Judge]'s melee fighting ability, I'm afraid it won't lose to the assault type!

However, this is a good thing.

Now that I am walking with Mu Wanqiu, in this kind of ghost place, I am afraid that there will be more dangers than good luck... The stronger Mu Wanqiu is, the safer I am.

……

……

10 minute later.

Gu Shen's injury has improved a lot, and he can already walk slowly.

"It looks like Meng Xiao didn't catch up."

Mu Wanqiu folded her arms, leaned against the stone wall, and looked in the direction she came from. This maze is actually not big. Although it twists and turns, there is only such a corridor after all. Every sound made will be clearly captured.

"No... not necessarily."

Gu Shen already knew what happened earlier.

He rubbed his chin and murmured: "Although you repaired the stone wall at the last moment, the stone wall does not necessarily mean the [door]... the [door] at the bottom of the Styx River may not be closed at the same time. According to my hunch, Meng Xiao It is very likely that at the last moment, it crashed into the [door]."

"Your... hunch?"

Mu Wanqiu frowned slightly when she heard the word hunch.

Although spiritual supernatural beings are born with keen perception, but at critical moments, supernatural beings who are superstitious about this kind of perception... will often die miserably.

"Yes, a premonition. My premonition can be used as a clear guide to fate."

Gu Shen didn't change his face, and said seriously: "If you read more books and newspapers, you should know... I am Master Qianye's divination disciple."

When he said this, he touched his pendant through the skirt of his clothes.

The name of a divination disciple is really useful.

"..."

Mu Wanqiu was rarely silent. Although the superhumans of the Beizhou Legion didn't pay much attention to the information from other continents, those "famous people" in this world still need to know something.

The fortuneteller of Qingzuka Mausoleum and the seer of the Tower of Origin, these two are characters familiar to the supernatural beings of the five continents.

"Are you sure? This is a kind of divination?" Mu Wanqiu glanced at Gu Shen suspiciously, her intuition told herself that something seemed wrong with what this guy said, so she tapped slowly on her chest with her slender fingertips. He hit the hilt and asked again.

"Ah."

Gu Shen nodded again.

The reason why he is so sure.

It was because of [Guess of Destiny's Protection], the familiar sense of crisis that came from it did not dissipate.

Meng Xiao must have followed...but because of the rules, they are not in the same maze.

This is a very important message.

When the Styx Gate opened, the place it pointed to was not just such a small area. The maze that he and Mu Wanqiu were in now was probably only a small part of the "Styx Ruins".

"Believe me... Meng Xiao's situation should be similar to ours. He must have come to 'here' as well."

Gu Shen looked at the surrounding environment.

This is the first time he has observed the maze in detail.

He had seen it earlier, the stone wall was covered with ancient writing, but Gu Shen had more self-knowledge than Mu Wanqiu... After studying ancient writing in the cemetery for a year, he knew the characteristics of these things too well.

Without a teacher, without spiritual teaching.

If you don't understand it at first glance, you will never understand it.

Looking further, it's just a waste of time.

"Since you are Master Qianye's disciple... what about these ancient texts?" Mu Wanqiu saw that Gu Shen was looking at it seriously, and during the period, he touched the stone wall with his fingers, knocking, and some anticipation grew in his heart.

It's just that the next moment, she was doused with cold water.

"Don't think too much, I don't understand this stuff."

Gu Shen glanced back at Mu Wanqiu, and asked with a smile: "You won't try to 'decipher' these ancient characters when you see them?"

Mu Wanqiu was silent.

"Since you don't understand, what's the use of knocking?" She said angrily, "Making mysteries......"

"It's not completely useless."

Gu Shen pressed the stone wall with his fingertips, and walked along the corridor for a short distance. He said seriously: "Didn't you notice it when you drew the knife just now? This so-called 'maze' can't be trapped at all. living?"

When Mu Wanqiu heard this, she was slightly taken aback.

It really is……

Just as soon as I stabbed at will, I smashed the ground and the stone wall and shattered it!

Although I don't know who the owner of this ancient ruins is, and what their intentions are, these stone walls obviously can't trap me... so there is a high probability that they won't be able to trap those truly powerful transcendents.

"Even a third-level transcendent should be able to cause damage to the stone wall..." Gu Shen said leisurely: "Although they cut down as much as you, but they are really trapped here and want to find an exit... as long as If you aim at one place, you can always open a hole."

"Yes."

Mu Wanqiu was also a little confused, "Then what is the significance of these stone walls?"

Gu Shen paused.

Yeah... this is really weird.

"I have heard that 'ancient characters' have other functions besides expressing ineffable qualities." Mu Wanqiu said again: "When a large number of ancient characters are combined together, they can erupt unimaginable power. These stone walls, as Doesn't the carrier of 'ancient text' have any special power?"

Mu Wanqiu's words inspired Gu Shen.

Enlightened, he murmured: "You're right... ancient characters must have unique characteristics and special powers. These stone walls are carriers, so they are so easy to break, there must be rules. Every stone wall here, every point , can be [door].”

This labyrinth seems to have no exit, but in fact, every place can be an exit.

As long as the wall is smashed, it is a [door]!
"It's just that the corresponding rules behind these [doors]... are different because of the difference in the ancient writing!"

Mu Wanqiu frowned beautifully: "You mean, if you hack the wrong [door], you will be unable to get out?"

"No...it's probably more serious than that."

Gu Shen held up a finger and said in a deep voice: "Behind some [doors] is 'life', and behind some [doors]... probably is 'death'!!"

Mu Wanqiu fell silent for a moment.

There was cold sweat dripping from her back.

If Gu Shen's conjecture is true...

Then her act of smashing a stone wall at random before was a gamble for her life!

Once you step into the wrong [door], wouldn't you be dead?

Thinking back to that knife that he had done lightly and calmly, Mu Wanqiu couldn't help but feel a little scared. When he smashed the stone wall, he really didn't think so much...

"Come... to this point, draw out the knife."

Gu Shen took a step back slowly.

He touched a stone wall covered with ancient texts, and seemed to understand something.

Mu Wanqiu grasped the handle of the knife.

"here?"

She took a deep breath. After realizing the terrifying rules of the maze wall, she felt a lot of psychological pressure.

Gu Shen nodded: "Don't hesitate, take out the knife and chop it into pieces."

"drink!"

The moment the knife was drawn, Mu Wanqiu's pupils burst into a bright snow-white glow.

The huge ghost of [Judge] shot out instantly, almost overlapping with her palm, and an ordinary saber exploded with unprecedented lethality... With just one blow, it smashed the stone wall into pieces!
Stone chips are scattered!

[Door] appeared, but with it, there was also a pitch-black chaotic turbulent flow!

"Is this... the Life Gate?"

Mu Wanqiu's pupils shrank slightly, and her spiritual perception seemed to be invalid here, and it didn't have any warning effect. There seemed to be an eternal emptiness and darkness behind the [door], and she couldn't sense anything.

She didn't know what would happen to her after stepping into that [door].

But when Mu Wanqiu shifted his gaze to Gu Shen, he found that the latter just shook his head and said calmly, "Fill it back."

[Judge] Shot again.

rumbling--

The flying stone chips were stuffed back into the stone wall by the huge ghost!

A few seconds later, the stone wall was as smooth as new.

"We... what are we doing?" Mu Wanqiu couldn't understand Gu Shen's actions just now.

"Two very important messages."

Gu Shen approached the stone wall again, looked at it for a long time, and then stretched out two fingers.

"First, we guessed right. There are countless exits in this maze... After every stone wall carved with ancient texts is broken, a passage will emerge. Theoretically, we can find countless [doors], through which To countless destinations."

"second……"

Gu Shen paused slightly.

With a dignified expression, he said softly: "These ancient texts are 'changing'."

"What did you say?"

Mu Wanqiu couldn't believe it.

The ancient prose cannot be memorized. Did Gu Shen memorize the ancient prose that was just smashed?

This...isn't possible?
"Divination." Gu Shen's explanation is still simple, but the principle is not difficult. The protection of the goddess of fate is indeed a kind of divination. After the experiment just now, the pendant's spiritual response to the stone wall produced a Change.

This also means that if it is smashed again, the [door] that appears will be different from the one just now!
Well, there is only one possibility...

"After smashing, the ancient text on the wall changed again."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Perhaps that's why Zhenyue didn't catch up. Every time this maze is smashed, it means that the [door] will appear, and every time it is healed, it means that the [door] disappears." , and changes in the ancient text. Even if you don’t use [Judge], these stone walls will slowly return to their original positions over time.”

"Through these two messages, we can speculate further."

Gu Shen stood up, and said: "Good news, these ancient texts that we don't understand must have special meaning, there must be a certain 'exit', connecting to the correct end point."

"Is this good news?" Mu Wanqiu frowned.

"Of course, but we have another piece of good news."

Gu Shen said lightly: "If Meng Xiao really catches up to the [door], and if he is unlucky, there is a high probability that he will be sent to a more severe and cruel environment than the maze."
