Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 389 Solving the Mystery of the Maze

Chu Tian and the others stood in this mysterious maze. The walls around them were tall and dim, and filled with an ancient and oppressive atmosphere. They had been wandering in this maze for a long time, and no matter how hard they tried, they seemed unable to find the exit.

At first, they tried to walk in one direction and mark the places they passed. However, frustratingly, no matter how they walked, they would eventually return to the places they had marked, as if this maze had some mysterious power that was playing tricks on them.

"What is going on? Are we going to be trapped here forever?" someone said in despair.

Chu Tian frowned tightly, his brain working rapidly, thinking of a solution. Suddenly, he had an idea.

"Everyone, listen to me. We can't just keep going blindly like this." Chu Tian said loudly, "This maze may have some kind of pattern. Our previous marking method may have been discovered by it. We are now divided into several groups, starting from different directions, but each group must keep a certain distance and mark in different ways. If one group discovers something new, it will immediately notify the other groups."

After hearing Chu Tian's method, everyone thought it made sense and started to act. Several groups walked in different directions, using stones, branches and other objects as marks, and leaving a special mark every few distances so that other groups could find them.

Chu Tian led one of the groups and carefully explored the maze. They walked slowly, carefully observing the surrounding walls and ground, hoping to find some clues.

After walking for a while, they found a strange pattern carved on the wall. This pattern seemed to be related to some symbols they had seen in the ancient tomb before. Chu Tian was delighted, and he felt that this pattern might be the key to solving the mystery of the maze.

He immediately asked the group to record the pattern and then notified other groups to come over. When the other groups arrived, they studied the pattern together.

After some discussion and analysis, they finally discovered the secret of the pattern. It turned out that the pattern was an ancient map with the exit of the maze marked on it.

Chu Tian led everyone to follow the instructions on the map and walked carefully towards the exit. After some twists and turns, they finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.

Everyone's hearts were filled with joy and excitement. They quickened their pace and walked towards the light. Finally, they walked out of this mysterious maze and came to a new area.

Chu Tian looked at the tired but excited faces of the crowd, his heart full of emotion. He knew that their adventure was not over yet, but they had overcome difficulties one after another and were one step closer to uncovering the secrets of the ancient tomb.

After walking out of the maze, Chu Tian and the others stood in front of a long passage. On the walls on both sides of the passage were still engraved some mysterious patterns and symbols. After the test of the maze, everyone was more cautious, and no one knew what kind of danger was waiting for them ahead.

Chu Tian stared into the depths of the passage, pondered for a moment and said, "We have just escaped from the maze, and we can't be careless now. Everyone should remain vigilant and be ready to deal with any possible situation at any time." Everyone nodded and held the tools in their hands tightly.

They walked slowly into the passage, their footsteps echoing in the silent space. After walking for a while, they found that the ground of the passage began to become uneven, as if some force was affecting the terrain here.

Suddenly, a slight "buzzing" sound came from the passage. Everyone stopped and looked around nervously. The sound became louder and louder, as if countless insects were approaching.

"Be careful! It might be dangerous!" Chu Tian shouted.

At this moment, a group of black beetles swarmed out from the cracks in the walls and the ground of the passage. These beetles were huge, with hard shells and sharp mouthparts, and looked very ferocious.

Everyone quickly raised their torches and weapons, ready to fight the beetles. The beetles came like a tide, very fast. Chu Tian swung his sword and chopped at the beetle in the front. The sword collided with the beetle's shell, making a crisp sound.

During the fierce battle, Chu Tian discovered that although there were many beetles, they seemed to be afraid of the fire. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, use torches to drive away the beetles!" Everyone brought torches closer to the beetles, and the beetles really began to retreat.

However, the beetles did not retreat completely, they lingered not far away, as if looking for an opportunity to attack again. Chu Tian knew that they had to find a way to deal with these beetles as soon as possible, otherwise they would be in a more dangerous situation once the torches went out.

He carefully observed the environment of the passage and found a narrow gap on one side of the passage. He thought that he might be able to use this gap to avoid the beetles.

"Everyone follow me!" Chu Tian shouted.

Everyone followed Chu Tian to the gap, and Chu Tian carefully entered the gap to check the situation inside. The gap was narrow, but it was enough to accommodate all of them.

They quickly got into the gap to avoid the beetles' attack. The beetles lingered outside the gap for a while and eventually dispersed.

Chu Tian and the others breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they were only temporarily out of danger this time. They had to move on, looking for the secrets of the ancient tomb, and at the same time be prepared to deal with new dangers that might arise.

As the road ahead collapsed, the tomb shook violently, rocks fell, and dust flew. Chu Tian's heart tightened, and he shouted, "Everyone, find a place to hide!"

Everyone panicked and looked around for a place to hide. Chu Tian quickly observed the surroundings and found a relatively solid stone arch not far away.

"Hurry and run to that stone archway over there!" Chu Tian shouted as he led everyone towards the stone archway.

As they ran, rocks kept falling from their heads, and they dodged left and right, facing dangers everywhere. Finally, they managed to hide in the stone arch before the rocks fell.

The stone archway was not completely safe either, as small rocks would fall from above from time to time. Chu Tian asked everyone to stay as close to the wall as possible to avoid being hit by falling rocks.

"Everyone, don't panic. Stay calm." Chu Tian calmed everyone down. "After the shaking stops, we'll find a way out."

The shaking of the tomb continued for a while, and everyone's heart was in their throat. Finally, the shaking gradually weakened and the tomb gradually returned to calm.

Chu Tian walked out of the stone arch carefully and observed the situation outside. The road ahead was completely blocked by collapsed rocks and was impassable.

"This is a problem. The road is blocked. We have to find another way out." Chu Tian said with a frown.

Everyone looked at the predicament in front of them with worries in their hearts. But they knew that under Chu Tian's leadership, they would definitely be able to find a way to overcome the difficulties.
