Chapter 1353: Cooperate to escape.
"Surprise?"
Ronald turned around and immediately understood what Catalina meant.
In order to find his way through the complex maze, after Ronald reached the top of the tree canopy, his eyes wandered around without even looking back.
But just behind them, on this tall enough tree, there is actually something very special.
Thanks to Katarina's attentiveness, they didn't go unnoticed.
【Look! What did the adventurer's assistant discover? ]
[There is actually a small mechanism on this towering tree. ]
[The way to leave the canopy maze is not to go down, but to go up! ]
[But they have to hurry up! 】
【Because while the adventurer and his assistant are looking for a way, the danger in the distance is also approaching! ]
"唳——!"
As soon as the voice-over finished, the voice of the giant eagle sounded high in the sky.
These dangerous creatures are back and are now hovering in the sky, with a trace of confusion among the hawks' cries.
They didn't understand where the two Ronalds who were placed in the bird's nest had gone.
However, with the vision of eagles, it probably wouldn't take long for them to spot the two people in the canopy on the other side.
"Time is running out!"
Knowing that the situation was tense, Ronald immediately checked Catalina's findings.
On the main trunk of the tree, a series of five sliding buttons, like the combination lock on a suitcase, was embedded in the tree in front of them.
Ronald tried to flip it.
The patterns on these five sliding locks are exactly the same, and they can all be fixed on one of [eyes], [palms], [footprints], [trees] and [lips].
While Ronald was still thinking, Catalina explained the situation:
"Each of the five positions has five results. This puzzle needs to be solved using the exhaustive method. There are a total of 3,125 arrangements. Even if we are lucky enough, it may take thousands of times to crack it!" "Then
think about the rules here." The deadly giant eagle is circling looking for them, and it is naturally impossible for Ronald to try three thousand ways. Arrangement, "Think about it, [Trees] most likely refers to this forest." "
Although this maze is difficult, this riddle can't be too difficult!"
Ronald has already analyzed the situation in his mind.
Because they planned to reach a high place to observe the entire maze structure, he and Catalina did not waste any time going down. Instead, they almost went all the way up here and took the right path.
But the giant eagle returned at this time, and the threat of death almost followed.
Although this maze is difficult, it is definitely not an impossible task.
Therefore, the password lock in front of you must not be a test that requires a lot of time to pass.
After all, in that case, this would be a complete trap for malicious murder.
Rather than a truly passable maze!
"唳——"
Suddenly, the cry of the giant eagle sounded again.
The voice was already approaching the two of them, and the moment of life and death was coming in seconds!
"Ronald, get out of my way!"
Catalina pushed Ronald aside.
Then she quickly swiped the password with her finger and adjusted the pattern to the order of [Palm] - [Tree] - [Lip] - [Eye] - [Footprint].
Click -
Katarina has just completed this change.
The sound of the wooden structure twisting sounded in the tree trunk in front of it.
Then the combination lock glowed with a beautiful blue light, and a curved arch suddenly grew out of the tree.
——Katerina successfully cracked this test!
"Let's go!"
Ronald and the two looked at each other. At this time, the sound of the giant eagle flapping its wings could even be heard behind them!
Now I don't care about the sequence and actions of pushing the door.
They knocked open the curved arch together, and behind it was a staircase going downwards. Ronald and Ronald fell down as expected, then rolled into a ball and fell all the way down!
Not long after, they fell hard to the ground.
The two people entangled together interacted with each other in a tone of both complaint and joy:
"Ronald, take your hand away from me!"
"I want to take it away too, but can you get up from me first?"
" You hit my eyeball, I'll kill you!"
"Why don't you look at where you are grabbing me now?"
Bang -!
Suddenly, a crash sounded from above.
The two of them, Ronald, immediately fell into silence.
Although the dense tree canopy blocked the view above, they heard the sound and the friction of wings and claws, and they understood that this was the giant eagle coming to the canopy and venting their anger for losing food.
Several giant eagles had been creaking on it for some time.
After venting their anger and confirming that there was really no way to retrieve their food, they left with an eagle's cry that filled the sky.
"..."
In silence, Ronald and Catalina looked at each other.
They breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and then Ronald stood up first, then extended his hand to Catalina and said,
"Katrina, it's all thanks to you this time."
"I really didn't think of the answer to the mystery at that time. Time will tell. It's one o'clock in the evening, I'm afraid we can't stand here talking now."
Catalina grabbed Ronald's hand and stood up.
But she was not at all arrogant. Instead, she replied calmly:
"Ronald, you determined the correct way to go upwards, so that we did not go astray; and I solved the final answer and successfully opened the door to the ground. "
This maze is a victory of the cooperation between the two of us, rather than the result of individual efforts." "
Maintaining such cooperation is the key to winning this game."
Catalina calmly said The correct attitude made Ronald feel relaxed a lot from his nervousness.
The two continued on their way, smiling at each other.
Everything is left unsaid.
After walking nearly a hundred meters away, Ronald's doubtful voice sounded again:
"But Catalina, to be honest, I haven't figured out the riddle yet. What is going on?"
"It's very simple!" Catalina immediately explained her thinking, "Those five patterns actually correspond to our experiences after entering this world. Just lay them out in chronological order." "The first is [Palm], which
represents The action of the giant eagle catching us in the air; followed by [trees], this refers to the two of them landing in the forest, which is the most confirmed part of the entire secret language; and the following [lips] means that the two of us listened The voice-over; [eyes] refers to our choice to observe the structure of the maze after the voice-over; as for the final [footprint]..." At
this point, all doubts were solved.
So Ronald directly told the final truth:
"The last [footprint] represents our action to crack the maze."
