    Volume 19 Chapter 161 Time Maze

    I originally rushed into the first ice hall with the intention of supporting Olivia and the others, but when we rushed into that hall, Shuangxue, I, and Ye Ying who stepped down were all dumbfounded.

    There are indeed two groups of people fighting in the hall, and one of them is indeed the ice monster I heard Olivia talk about in Ditans. However, the other party fighting the ice monster is not what we imagined.  of Olivia or her team, but

    "Yeyue?"

    The person who was surrounded by a group of ice monsters was none other than my demon pet Yeyue, and Yeyue was also quite surprised after hearing our exclamations.  She first chopped down several monsters that rushed up with a round of fierce attacks, then used the pupil technique to petrify several monsters, and finally nailed the only remaining monster to the wall before looking at me in surprise and asked.  : "Master? Why did you come in from outside? Are you not"

    "Yeyue, hurry up, come back with me" Before Yeyue could finish her words, she saw a white figure suddenly run out of the side road and rushed to Yeyue, grabbing her and trying to drag her into the cave, but in  After she didn't pull, she quickly realized that there was a group of people next to her, and when she turned around, she was stunned.

    The person who just ran out was none other than Shuangxue who came in with me. The problem is that Shuangxue beside me did not disappear, she was just standing there.

    "Youhow did you become two people?" Yeyue looked back and forth at the two Shuangxue and asked in surprise.

    Shuangxue, who just ran out, reacted much faster than Yeyue. She quickly reacted and said: "It must be a time mess. They are the masters and us at another point in time." After explaining to Yeyue  Shuangxue turned to me again and said: "Master, no matter what time you are the master, come and help!"

    I didn¡¯t hesitate when I heard Shuangxue¡¯s cry, I immediately put away Ye Ying and ran over with Shuangxue.  No matter what point in time we are, we are all our own people, so we can definitely help each other.

    Following Shuangxue, she quickly rushed into the passage. She heard a loud rumbling sound in front of her before running two steps. Then she saw a figure flying over and falling to the ground, struggling twice and then stopped moving.  I looked down at the guy who was obviously dead, and realized that he was someone I didn't know at all, and looking at the logo on his chest, he was clearly a guild leader player, because he still had a guild head on his chest.  Purpose badge.

    Since we are not acquaintances, don¡¯t worry. Shuangxue led us forward quickly, and soon arrived at a very wide passage. The situation here was completely disrupted. There were at least two to three hundred people fighting in a melee, and  It seems that they belong to three different forces.  In addition to these two to three hundred people, there is a group of about four to five hundred monsters ahead, all ice-based creatures, the largest of which are two ice dragons. Their whole bodies are shining with blue light. Except for the wrong color, they look like  It looks very similar to Mira's body.  Of course, in terms of hardness, the ice dragon cannot be compared with the gem dragon. After all, no matter how hard the ice is frozen, it cannot be as hard as a diamond.

    Seeing this chaotic scene dragging us here, Shuangxue was stunned for the first time, and then she immediately stood there motionless as if she was demented.  When I saw she didn't respond for a long time, I patted her and then asked, "What's wrong with you? Who are we helping? Didn't you see our people?"

    The Shuangxue who brought us over suddenly burst into tears, which made me so confused that I didn¡¯t know how to persuade her. After all, I didn¡¯t even understand why she was crying.  However, the other party is a snow demon after all, a relatively strong creature. After only crying twice, the cry turned into sobbing. At the same time, he was crying and saying: "UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuI lost them again!"

    We were completely stunned by what Shuangxue said, and we had no idea what she was talking about.

    "What does it mean to lose it?"

    ¡°I just can¡¯t find it!¡±

    "Can't find it?"

    Seeing that I still didn't understand, Yeyue on the side explained to me: "You just came in and you don't know the situation yet. The time flow here changes according to the passage. Every passage and every hall in the entire maze has  According to its own time characteristics, the time in some channels is normal time, some will speed up, some will slow down, and some will flow backwards."

    Hearing Yeyue's explanation, I immediately asked in surprise: "Doesn't that mean that as long as we separate, we will soon be in different times?"

    Yeyue nodded and said: "We have just discovered this problem, but we have lost a lot of companions in order to figure out this situation. Everyone is always divided into different channels for one reason or another, and then after a while  The time in the passage will change, and when we go back, the person will disappear.?Even if everyone runs back to the same hall, they won't be able to meet each other because we are already at different points in time!  "

    After hearing Yeyue¡¯s words, I suddenly realized a problem, and that was about the previous maze problem.  We all initially thought that this ice cave was a huge three-dimensional maze, which relied on its three-dimensional structure to create an extremely complex three-dimensional passage for people to get lost in.  However, after hearing Yeyue's introduction, I suddenly thought of a question, that is what is this maze used for?

    In addition to being used for entertainment, the biggest use of a maze is actually to be an obstacle. It is somewhat similar to a space code lock. It uses a complex channel structure to prevent people who do not know the code from passing through it to reach a certain location, and allows people who know the code to pass through it.  People on the road can easily pass through this area, which is the basic purpose of the maze.  So, what is the purpose of this maze in front of me?  The obvious answer is that it was used to protect the World Book.  Moreover, if nothing else happens, the book stored here should be the Book of Time.  This fits perfectly with the turbulent flow of time here.

    So, if the Book of Time is placed in this maze, does it definitely exist at that fixed location in the maze?  Obviously not.  Time props are different from ordinary things in that they are unique in time.  Take Olivia for example.  Because of entering the time turbulence, four Olivia suddenly appeared on Ditans' side, which shows that there is an Olivia at every point in time.  However, time equipment is different. They are unique in time. No matter how many time points you find, there is only one time equipment. It will not appear in many individuals at different times.  If the Book of Time is really time equipment, then it should have this characteristic. That is to say, even if we reach the location where the Book of Time is stored in the maze, we may not be able to get it because the time point in which it exists is different.  It must be the time point we arrive at, and as long as the time point does not match, we will not be able to see the Book of Time.

    My demon pets are all very intelligent. When I thought of the problem, Shuangxue beside me also screamed.  "Oh my god. We made a huge mistake. This is not a space maze, but a time maze!"

    "Fortunately, I got this first." I took out the speed pocket watch from my arms, and then opened the dial and found that the dial on the thing had changed from one to two.  On the originally normal dial, two sets of hands of different colors were rotating respectively. One set of golden hands moved normally and seemed to be the normal time, while the other set of black hands moved very fast. Obviously, this was not the case.  The time displayed by the group pointer is the current time we are at, and judging from its speed, the time at our current location should be running much faster than normal time.

    In addition to the time on the normal dial on the right, a dial now appears on the cover of the original pocket watch. What is displayed on this dial is not the time, but some scales.  Zero is marked at the twelve o'clock position of the dial, and then the numbers in the dial range from the twelve o'clock position to the three o'clock position continue to increase. Finally, the number displayed at the three o'clock position is four, and after the three o'clock position, the number continues again.  Start shrinking until the number at six o'clock returns to zero.  After six o'clock, the numbers marked on the dial change into percentages. At nine o'clock, the smallest number is 50 percent. After nine o'clock, the number begins to gradually increase until it reaches the twelve o'clock position.  becomes zero.  In addition to this strange scale dial, there is only one pointer on the left dial, and unlike the right dial, there is no protective, dustproof and waterproof crystal panel on the left dial, but the pointer is directly exposed on the  Outside.

    Obviously, the dial on the left is not for people to read the time, but for adjusting the time. Combined with the abilities mentioned in the attributes, I guess that the dial pointer on the left is a device used to control the flow of time, while the right one is  Display dial showing current time and standard time.

    After reading the speed dial, I said to Yeyue and the two Shuangxue: "Now we have two choices. One, use this thing to search different caves at different times, so that we can find everyone together and find out along the way.  Our target is Olivia. Second, let¡¯s leave people alone and find a way to find the Book of Time first. That thing may be able to solve all problems at once, but of course it may also end up having to be found one space at a time.¡±

    "In this case, it's better to find the Book of Time first. Anyway, we have to find it sooner or later." Yeyue suggested.

    The two Shuangxue also nodded to express their support for this plan. I called Ling out again and asked her opinion. After getting a positive reply, I took back the Shuangxue I brought and asked the other Shuangxue to follow us.  The book of time.

    Unlike Shuangxue and Yeyue, Ling, who had been a goddess, was obviously much stronger than them in terms of brain power.  After hearing my explanation, she immediately said: "I think we have to do three more things before looking for books."

    "WhatWhat's the matter?  "I asked with some confusion.

    Ling pointed at the speed in my hand and said: "First we must find the room where the Book of Time is."

    "Then what?"

    "Then we need to record the flow of time in several passages near the room where the Book of Time is located. Finally, we also need to use the time speed difference in different passages to allow us to reach the point in time when the Book of Time exists, so that we can get it  .¡±

    "But how do we know at what point in time the Book of Time is?" Yeyue asked.

    Ling stretched out a finger and tapped the dial and said: "If my guess is correct, it should be at the time pointed by the golden pointer."

    "You mean the time we entered?"

    "That's right." Ling explained: "There is no hint about the existence time of the Book of Time, and the system will not arrange a time for us to store the Book of Time without any clues, so this Book of Time must exist in a  It is a point in time that has a specific meaning, and for us, what time is more meaningful than real time?"

    ¡°That makes sense, let¡¯s try this plan first, and if it doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll think of other ways.¡±

    Because the time in this channel is messy, the method of relying on ghost bugs to batch search is obviously not feasible, because the time gap will continue to send my ghost bugs to different points in time, as long as the time gap here is not fixed  quantity, then its theoretical volume will be infinite. It is obviously delusional to expect the number of ghost bugs to win in such a space.

    If you can¡¯t use ghost bugs, you have to find them by yourself. What¡¯s worse is that for fear of getting separated, everyone can¡¯t search separately. They must gather together to prevent being separated into different time zones and losing contact.

    The area of ??this super underground maze is absolutely beyond imagination, and the room used to store the Book of Time is not known exactly where it is. We are not even sure whether such a room exists. The only thing we can do now is  The best thing is to go through the entire maze as much as possible to make sure that no location is missed.

    It¡¯s really thanks to the fact that I am not an ordinary human being. I have a part of the electronic brain in my brain that can build a three-dimensional channel model of the area we walk through in my brain like a computer. These models can ensure that I will not get lost here, and if I were  Ordinary people, faced with this ice wall that looks the same, will definitely quickly lose their way and wander around here, and eventually run out of supplies and be trapped here alive.

    As we walked, I continued to increase the area of ??the three-dimensional map in my brain. Although we walked through more and more areas, the map became more and more complete.  Of course, in addition to marking the correct roads, this map also marks different time sections in three colors: red, white, and blue, and each section has the time flow rate of the section marked.

    As the map continued to expand, the data we had began to increase. During this period, we also encountered many creatures, including ice monsters, players and NPCs who did not know where they came from, and in the end, there were unexpected  Let's meet the female vampire who was in Olivia's team before. Of course, I can't figure out at what point in time she was a member of the team.

    After contacting us, the female vampire finally joined our team. After all, this place is quite unsafe. Although she is not a member of the same time segment, the female vampire is an ally with us. At least her life is safe with us.  Guaranteed.

    With our normal senses, after walking around the maze for about seven or eight hours and killing countless monsters along the way, we finally found the storage location of the Book of Time in a fork in the center of the maze. Although there is no Book of Time here now.  book, but there is a platform in the room that looks like a podium. There is a book-shaped groove on the platform, which is obviously where the Book of Time once existed.

    "Okay, we found the location, let's check the time." Ling said to me.

    I quickly took out the speedometer and opened it to see that the time displayed by the set of golden hands and black hands was exactly the same.

    "What's going on?" Shuangxue asked in surprise as she saw the two sets of hands displaying the same time.

    I looked at the dial for a while before suddenly reacting.  "By the way, the time difference must be twelve hours! One turn of this dial is twelve hours. If the time difference between the two dials is exactly a multiple of twelve hours, the two sets of hands will completely overlap."

    "Then how do we know now whether we are twelve hours ahead or behind real time? And you also said it is a multiple of twelve hours. What if it is twenty-four or thirty-six hours or something?  What should we do? Have you paid attention to whether our time is fast or slow before?"

    "You wait a momentDown.  "I directly took out a piece of paper from my carry-on equipment and spread it on the ground, and then drew a lot of line segments on it. Finally, I marked the times on the map memorized in my brain one by one, and finally we stayed at various locations.  The approximate time is also written down. Multiply the residence time by the time flow rate, and you get the actual time passed in that section. After adding all these times, the number is minus twenty-three hours and a few minutes. Because  I can't determine the precise time spent in each section, so a slight error in the results is acceptable, and twenty-three hours is also very close to twenty-four hours, which is a multiple of twelve. As for the negative in front, it means that we are faster than  The real world is twenty-four hours slower. In this case, we must look for those areas where time is accelerated to catch up the time.

    After seeing the results I calculated on paper, it goes without saying that everyone understood what I meant.  Ling searched for a section on the map and immediately pointed to a passage about eight intervals away from the room we were in now.  "Let's go here. The time flow rate here is the fastest in the nearby area. Eight times the time flow rate means that as long as we wait here for three hours, our time will catch up with the normal time. If we include the return  For the time loss caused by the time zone we need to pass through, we only need to stay there for three hours and ten minutes at most. The specific time can be calculated with the speedometer. When the hands accelerate and overlap again after two circles, we will return.  The right time to be in this room.¡±

    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it, let¡¯s go there now.¡±

    Because we have a detailed map in our mind, it is very simple to find the corresponding time zone. With the speed timing ability, we can easily confirm the correct time zone.  This section with eight times the time flow rate happens to be an environment similar to a hall. Its interior is a slightly flat oval, with three passages densely connected on one arc edge of the oval, leading to the Book of Time.  The passage to the storage place is among these three passages, and there is only one passage connecting it on the opposite arc edge of the oval. As for where it is connected to, we still don't know yet.  Although we walked around this ice maze for a full eight hours, we actually didn't walk too much.  After all, the Ice Passage is not a safe amusement maze. There are monsters everywhere here. In some places, there are even monsters as powerful as ice dragons, so it is actually very time-consuming to move here.

    Because we had to wait for three hours in the oval hall, we simply laid out a pile of papers here and started to calculate the time ratio between each point, hoping to find some rules.  After all, the Book of Time may not necessarily help us find the missing Olivia, so in order to prevent any eventuality, it is best to prepare early.

    We have been calculating for more than an hour here, and have gone through all the possible rules. It turns out that the time of these channels seems to have no rules, at least we can't find the rules.  Judging from this situation, if we can't find something that can completely solve the chaotic time, then we will have to spend at least ten days before we can hope to find the Olivia that Ditans needs.  Of course, this time is just a normal estimate. If we are lucky, we may find her in the first channel we are looking for, or we may never find her. This is not impossible.

    "I hope the Book of Time can help us sort out this mess of time!" I sighed helplessly looking at the calculation paper that was almost covering the room.  Just as I was about to go over and collect the papers, I suddenly heard a bang from behind, and then I saw a figure somersaulting into the ice room where we were.

    Seeing this figure flying in, the few of us present immediately turned around and entered a fighting state. However, when we saw the man getting up from the ground, we all discovered that he was an acquaintance.

    The guy who just flew in is the undead knight from Olivia's team before, but looking at his current appearance, it can be said that he is very embarrassed.  All that was left of the armor were a few palm-sized armor pieces hanging crookedly on the body by a piece of cloth, looking as if they might break at any time. Fortunately, ***'s leggings and boots were still in good condition, so they wouldn't be damaged.  He was running naked, but there were several blood stains on his face, and his left eye was nowhere to be found, leaving only a black hole.

    Although we don¡¯t know exactly which point in time this undead knight is, one thing is certain, that is, he is Olivia¡¯s, so after seeing his appearance clearly, we dodge to the hole where he flew out.  Together they stared into the hole warily to see what had attacked him.

    The creature behind did not disappoint us. Almost as soon as we reached the entrance of the cave, we saw a huge white creature roaring and rushing out of the cave.

    "Holy crap, it's an ice ape!" Seeing the giant beast that looked like a white gorilla rushing out??I quickly told everyone to get out of the way, and then waited for the guy to rush over, then I chased him from behind, jumped up, and stabbed the guy in the back of the head and cervical spine with my sword.  The moment the tip of the sword penetrated the ice ape's huge body, it completely lost control and tilted to one side. I hurriedly kicked off its body and jumped off the ice ape's back, while the ice ape's body continued to rush forward.  After traveling a long way, he hit the opposite wall and stopped.

    Taking back eternity, I walked up to the undead knight in confusion and asked: "Although the ice ape is a bit stronger, it is not a difficult monster to deal with, right? How did you do it like this?"

    The undead knight got up from the ground and pointed behind us with difficulty. I looked back doubtfully. Just when I was about to say it was nothing, I suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from the ground, and this vibration was gradually increasing.  The upgrade was just a slight one at first, but within a few seconds it had intensified to the point where most people present could feel it.

    Just when we were puzzled by the vibrations on the ground, an ice ape suddenly slid out from the corner of the passage in front of us. The ice ape slid out from the corner sideways as if it was drifting, and then on the opposite side  After a violent collision with the ice wall, it immediately returned to the center of the channel, but at this time its direction had been completely adjusted and it was running towards us.

    When I saw the first ice ape, I already understood why the undead knight did this.  It's not that he can't defeat the ice apes, he just can't defeat a group of ice apes.  Less than two seconds after the first ice ape stumbled out, a large row of ice apes slid out from the corner of the passage like a flood bursting its banks. These ice apes crowded and pushed each other and rushed out of the corner.  , then after passing through the opposite ice wall and slowing down, it rushed towards us again.

    "Frost and snow."

    As I screamed, my own frost and snow had been released by me. The frost and snow at that other time point also raised their palms towards the hole together with the frost and snow I released, accompanied by a large white frost.  The air spurted out, and a thin ice wall instantly appeared at the entrance of the passage. Then the ice wall rapidly grew and thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a few seconds, it turned into an ice wall more than a foot thick.  Completely seal the entrance to the passage.  However, although the entrance to the passage was sealed, the thickness of the ice layer was obviously not enough.  A foot of ice would be fine for blocking ordinary people, but it wouldn't be enough to block a group of crazy ice apes.

    With a thud, the first ice ape hit the ice wall, causing a large spider web-like crack to quickly appear on the surface of the ice wall more than a foot thick. Although the two frosts quickly repaired it with freezing air.  There were some cracks, but unfortunately the ice apes behind them did not give them enough time to continue repairing. A large group of ice apes rushed up crazily and collided with the front row of ice apes, and then squeezed all the ice apes in the row and sprayed them from the mouth and nose.  There was blood, but the ice wall in front completely burst under their crazy impact, and the ice apes in the front rows rolled and climbed into the cave.

    Seeing the group of ice apes rushing in, I had no choice but to pull out the Eternal and take the initiative to greet them. I hope we can get rid of these ice apes before the three-hour deadline. I don't want to miss the time and have to find a new cave.  Wait for the time again.
