Chapter 203: IQ, the way to break the deadlock
Ye Bai thought carefully for a moment, then said, "Let's go in the middle."
"it is good."
So, they followed what Ye Bai had just said and headed towards the fork in the road.
After walking for a long time, they finally discovered that the fork in the road was a dead end.
"Shit. Do I have to go around this maze?" Zhang Dada cursed in frustration.
"It's okay, we can try another direction." Yang Mi comforted.
Then, everyone walked in another direction.
As a result, after walking less than 500 meters, everyone found another fork in the road.
This time, Ye Bai made the right decision - they still took the left fork.
It turned out that this fork in the road was a dead end.
"Oh my god." Zhang Dada couldn't help but swear: "Is this guy kidding us?"
"There's definitely something strange going on in this underground palace." Yang Mi frowned and said, "However, we can't think of any way to solve the mystery for now."
"I think, maybe we just need to find the center of the formation or the key to open the door to the underground palace." Ye Bai was silent for a while and then spoke.
"What is the eye of the formation or the key?" Zhang Dada asked in confusion.
Ye Bai shook his head.
Although he possessed a great deal of knowledge, this underground palace had existed for too long. Even he might not be able to fully understand it.
"Forget it, let's try our luck again." Ye Bai sighed, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Master Ye, I think you can try to find the center of the formation or the key." Zhang Dada suddenly said.
"Looking for?" Ye Bai looked at Zhang Dada in surprise.
"Well. Look, there are so many treasures placed in the secret rooms on each floor. There must be valuable treasures. If there is no key, how can we get the treasure?" Zhang Dada said as a matter of course.
Hearing this, Ye Bai fell into deep thought.
He thought about it carefully and felt that what Zhang Dada said made sense. Since there were so many priceless treasures placed here, there must be a key to open them, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bargain for others?
"Then where do you think we should look for the key?" Ye Bai looked at Zhang Dada.
"Look here." Zhang Dada walked to a corner of the wall.
Zhang Dada walked to the corner of the wall, squatted down, and stroked his fingers on a brick. "Ye Shen, look at this mark. Does it look like a keyhole?"
Ye Bai leaned in closer, examining the mark. Yang Mi also approached curiously, her eyes wide open. "Could this really be the keyhole? But where can we find the key?" Yang Mi asked softly.
Ye Bai said nothing, but in his heart he was complaining: If this is a keyhole, could the key fall from the sky? Outwardly, he still looked aloof, straightened up, and folded his arms.
Zhang Dada scratched his head and said, "Maybe there are clues nearby. Ye Shen, please take a closer look around here."
Ye Bai sighed helplessly and began to examine the wall carefully. Suddenly, he found some strange symbols on the wall, like some kind of ancient writing. "Do you recognize these symbols?" Ye Bai asked.
Zhang Dada and Yang Mi both shook their heads.
Yang Mi said, "Ye Bai, you are knowledgeable, can you understand it?" Ye Bai looked at the symbols, his mind working rapidly, searching for the knowledge in his memory.
After a while, Ye Bai slowly spoke, "These symbols are somewhat similar to the ancient Dian Kingdom's writing, but not exactly the same. I can only try to decipher part of it." He pointed to one of the symbols and said, "This symbol seems to be related to direction."
Zhang Dada's eyes lit up. "Does that mean it's related to finding the key? Should we go in this direction?"
Ye Bai rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's not that simple. This underground palace is full of traps and mechanisms. You can't wander around randomly."
Just then, they heard a slight rustling sound, as if something was crawling in the darkness. Yang Mi was so scared that she hid behind Ye Bai.
"What's that sound?" Zhang Dada also became nervous. He took out an engineer shovel from his backpack and held it tightly in his hand.
Ye Bai calmly pulled out a dagger from his waist and whispered, "Be careful, something might be coming."
Soon, two dark shadows appeared in front!
The two black shadows are getting closer and closer to Ye Bai and the other two!
Zhang Dada's expression changed because he could sense that these two guys exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
"Master Ye, what should we do now?" Zhang Dada asked in a trembling voice.
Yang Mi's face turned even paler.
Ye Bai glanced at them and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't we still have Ye Shen?"
Zhang Dada gave a wry smile and said, "Are you sure we can kill them together? Besides, if we get scratched or bitten by them, we'll be dead."
Yang Mi also said: "We are still young, we haven't lived enough..."
"Waste!" Ye Bai glanced at the two of them with disdain: "With the two of you looking like such idiots, you dare to join me in the underworld?"
Zhang Dada and Yang Mi's faces suddenly turned red with shame.
At this moment, Ye Bai had already stood up, holding two daggers in his hands, looking ahead seriously.
The two shadows were only five or six meters away from them, and seemed to be getting closer.
The two dark figures were pitch black and massive, clearly not common creatures. They had snake-like bodies, but covered in hard scales. Most alarmingly, their tails were covered in sharp barbs! Getting entangled in them would be quite troublesome.
"Zhang Dada, Yang Mi, no matter what happens later, try not to move. Do you understand?" Ye Bai instructed. Then, he brandished the dagger in his hand and rushed towards the two shadows.
The black shadow reacted very quickly and immediately took a defensive stance, using two sharp spikes to block Ye Bai's attack.
clang--
Sparks flew. Ye Bai swung his wrist violently, nearly knocking the dagger off, and felt a dull pain in his palm. His eyelids twitched violently. These two guys were too strong. If he missed, he would be in a passive position.
The black shadow obviously realized that Ye Bai was quite powerful, so it immediately retracted its body and pounced towards Ye Bai. At the same time, another black shadow took advantage of the situation and attacked Ye Bai's flank!
Ye Bai dodged quickly, and the black shadow missed and fell on the wall.
With a "hiss", its entire right leg was embedded in the wall. However, its left claw was still firmly clasped in the wall, showing no sign of loosening.
"Is this an armored snake?" Ye Bai said in shock, "I've never seen such a large armored snake!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another black shadow rushed up. This shadow also had iron armor, but the color was darker, and there was also a protruding cylindrical tumor on its abdomen.
The armored snake is very aggressive. Once it locks on to its prey, it will never give up easily and will continue to attack even if it fails once.
