Chapter 1366 Courage, courage!
There is a reliable way forward.
Ronald and Catalina's exploration becomes smoother.
They encountered no traps, nor did they encounter the group of jellyfish by the digestive river again.
We walked around this spacious cavity for about half an hour.
After bypassing several undulating folds, an upward channel like a blood vessel appeared in front of them, with a slope of about thirty degrees.
Before walking in, Ronald glanced at Catalina:
"Judging from the flow direction of the digestive river, this should be the direction deeper into the dust beast."
Catalina concluded without thinking:
"Since it covers Hamor If the entire city is protected, then the treasure that was originally protected in the center of the city will naturally be located near the center of this guy's body. Just move forward boldly!" The conversation at this
time was not only to communicate ideas, but also to encourage each other.
Then Ronald and the two set off again and stepped into the tunnel ahead.
At first, this organ, which looked like the veins of a dust monster, was relatively stable, but soon the same rhythmic vibrations as before on the ground began to appear.
The road that originally sloped upward was not easy to walk.
Now there is this kind of vibration interference, which immediately consumes a lot of physical energy for the two of them.
Fortunately, Ronald and the two responded quickly.
They immediately controlled their pace and followed the vibrations in the dust beast's body.
Thus.
Not only was the problem of increased physical exertion solved, it was even easier than before when I was on the road!
Another problem was solved. Ronald and the others were naturally in a good mood, and their rhythmic steps were much brisker.
But this tunnel has undergone noteworthy changes.
After the two of them groped forward for a certain distance and dealt with several fork-in-the-road choices, the white color of the tunnel walls began to gradually change and the color gradually dimmed.
"The color is changing this time..."
Ronald touched it curiously.
In fact, not only the color, but the softness of the tunnel walls has also decreased, and now it feels hard to the touch, almost like concrete.
Catalina has her own opinion on this:
"Before entering this world, didn't I go down and attack this guy's core? That thing is completely different from the white parts of the body in other parts. It is black and the texture is quite hard!"
Luo Nader raised his eyebrows:
"You mean - we are approaching the core of this guy?"
What Katarina said actually makes sense.
The two of them had entered the body of the dust beast for some time. In addition to rushing and solving the maze, the rapids on the Digestive River allowed them to advance a lot of distance.
Even though the dust monster's body is as big as a mountain.
But in this series of adventures, they have actually covered a long distance.
Catalina nodded and replied:
"Yes, that's what I thought."
Ronald expressed trust in Catalina's judgment and did not forget to remind the details:
"Since we are approaching the core, we must be more careful. ."
"Don't forget what the voice-over said at the beginning, we have to face the difficulties of those who obstruct us. Even though the previous mazes and dangers were caused by its body, I feel that these are not enough." Stabilize your mentality and
confirm The goal, then naturally, is to keep moving forward.
However, just a few minutes after this conversation, the slope of the tunnel under Ronald's feet increased sharply, becoming an exaggerated degree of almost 60 degrees. There are even vertical zones at a 90-degree angle in some areas that can only be passed by climbing.
After crawling around another corner, Catalina climbed up and sat down on the ground.
The difficulty of this kind of climbing is second only to rock climbing. If you don’t want to be unlucky due to sudden events, taking regular breaks to restore your physical strength is a necessary choice.
Then looking at Ronald, who was also sitting next to her, Catalina joked:
"Ronald, do you think this terrain is deliberately disgusting us, or is it just like this?"
"I don't think this is a problem. Meaning, both situations are possible." Ronald gave up. Although he did not discuss this with Catalina, his attention remained on the surroundings, "Wait, did you find out? This is the way we are going. The color of the walls of the tunnel has not continued to get darker."
Catalina turned around and saw that the surrounding tunnels now remained gray.
She reached out and patted the ground again.
The hardness of the firm tunnel has not changed much, and you can still feel the vibrations in the dust behemoth's body every now and then.
Catalina lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly:
"This is not good news."
"The color and hardness have not changed, which means that the distance between us and this guy's core has not changed significantly."
Ronald concluded this The judgment was one sentence:
"So - we are not moving in the right direction."
"..."
The tunnel fell into silence.
Only the breathing of Ronald and Catalina and the occasional vibrations told the passage of time.
Said it before.
After Ronald and the two entered the tunnel, they passed through several forks.
In this environment with no reference at all, you cannot judge the direction by looking at the tunnel itself, which is easily misled, and relying on your own sense of direction is a dangerous decision.
Ronald and the two have a feeling now.
Did they make a wrong choice on a fork in the road before, so that they are now on the wrong path?
If that's the case -
continuing backwards will not only consume the physical strength of the two of them, but also waste precious time!
What about turning back and choosing a new path?
While it's still early, turn back and go to other forks early to see if you can find the right path.
But what if the path I am taking now is the correct one, and the situation I have discovered so far is actually just an obstacle in the maze itself, with the purpose of using false information to induce people to abandon the correct path?
For a moment, Ronald's mind inevitably fell into chaos.
The starting point of all problems is that it is impossible to determine the direction at the moment. This is almost an unsolvable problem!
Snap—
suddenly, there was a sound on Ronald's shoulder.
He looked up and found that Catalina reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Caterina?"
The tower master of the astronomy department gave Ronald a confident smile:
"Have you recovered your physical strength? Come on, let's continue on the road."
Ronald immediately expressed his worries:
"Katerina, the path we are taking now may not be the right one. If the previous fork in the road..." "
Ronald Nader, stop talking about this." Catalina interrupted Ronald's rational analysis.
The astronomy tower master grabbed Ronald with both hands and pulled him up from the ground. Then, just like when the two entered the body of the dust beast, they locked Ronald with their hands and pushed him forward.
"Since you have chosen this path, you must make a name for yourself."
"Ronald, courage! Courage!"
"This maze requires not only the wisdom of judgment, but also the boldness to act when faced with difficulties. It takes courage to move forward!"
