Chapter 1124: Guiding coordinates
Lin Tao suddenly felt a deep despair, and shouted, and wanted to go up and finish the pursuit: "Damn it, at worst, you can go up and fight them. The space here is so narrow. With the help of the terrain, if we fight head-on, we may not have no chance of winning."
Old Ma suddenly grabbed him and shook his head slowly: "No matter how bad the other party is, he is still two immortals. Needless to say, we are twice as many people, and they are not their opponents. You are no different from dying."
Mr. Ma’s reminder made Lin Tao realize suddenly, and he immediately stopped at least a thousand. He sighed: “It was because I was forced to do it too urgently and I lost my mind for a moment.”
Regarding this, Mr. Ma instructed him to comfort him: "In this case, no one will be able to live a good life. Look at these people, they are actually very panicked and don't know what to do. You are leading us, and you can't act recklessly at this time."
Lin Tao nodded after hearing this and said, "Mr. Ma, you need to say nothing. I understand the truth. Give me some time and let me think about what to do next."
When others heard Lin Tao say this, they stopped talking and did not dare to breathe. They just waited quietly for Lin Tao to think, for fear that even swallowing saliva could interrupt Lin Tao's thinking.
Lin Tao barely concentrating his mind and with his amazing willpower, he temporarily put the enemy who was rushing over from outside. He did not abandon these thoughts and could not calm down and think.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Lin Tao opened his eyes again and said to Ma Lao and others: "Ma Lao, if we three Mahayana period plus one Xiao Kui, how many meters can we jump out at the farthest time if we take all of us to jump in space?"
Mr. Ma instantly understood his intention, lowered his head and thought, "If we jump alone, the farthest is hundreds of meters, it is not difficult to escape from here. But each of us brings one more person, and the jumping distance will decrease by nearly one-third. If we bring one more person, it will decrease exponentially. These of us..."
Mr. Ma’s meaning is very clear. With Lin Tao, Xiaokui, Zhao Mingting and a few of him, it is not difficult to escape by using space to jump. The difficulty lies in the fact that they are taking their families and escaping with them, which is more difficult to do.
When others heard him say this, they all showed complicated expressions on their faces. After a long time, Zhou Lingxiu pulled Lin Tao aside and whispered: "Lin Tao, the situation is urgent now. It is a burden for you to take us with you. If you can leave, leave first, don't worry about us."
Lin Tao looked at Zhou Lingxiu's beautiful eyes with emotion, but shook his head firmly: "At this time, will I throw you here and wait for death, then will you still be human? Besides, you all die here, what's the point of even if we survive?"
Seeing that Lin Tao could not speak, Zhou Lingxiu turned around and said the same thing to Zhao Mingting and Ma Lao, but Lin Tao did not nod. Who could agree with Ma Lao and Zhao Mingting? Therefore, after several lobbying, there was no result.
Mr. Ma said to the others: "You don't have to argue about whether these people live or not. We are in the current situation. To be honest, even a few of us may not be able to go out."
Lin Tao asked him what he said. Mr. Ma looked at the tunnel when he came and said, "Did you see this passage? This passage is obliquely downward. When we fell from the entrance, we had a height of more than ten meters and walked such a long way. Based on this inclined angle, we are at least more than a hundred meters away from the ground."
Before the shock of others passed, Ma Lao looked at them again and said, "Even if we are not one of us here, we may jump. If we are not careful, we may appear underground. You all know what this means."
The others nodded in a wooden manner and appeared under the ground. It means that their bodies would be stuck in the soil. Thinking of the scene where the sand and gravel of the land and the flesh and blood were entangled like paste, it made people breathe a sigh of relief.
After hearing Mr. Ma's words, everyone fell into silence again. Time passed by minute by minute. As the masters of the Demon Sect approached step by step, they had no solution. As soon as this feeling surged up, it made people feel weak in their bodies and even a little dry retching.
Suddenly, Zhang Bei screamed in surprise and attracted everyone's gaze: "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, come here quickly and see what's here!"
Lin Tao and others were already in a state of ashes. When they heard this, the flames of stars in the ashes seemed to be burning again and hurriedly approached to check.
I saw an abandoned treasure bag scattered on the ground, an empty bottle of elixir used by several monks, and some damaged tools that were not known for their purpose. There was also a smooth stone surface the size of a watermelon, with several lines of numbers engraved on it. There were three lines in total, each line had two pairs, and it did not indicate what it was for, which made people feel unclear.
Lin Tao picked up the empty bottle and looked at it, "It seems that someone has been here before us. If he had not returned from the original route, he would have escaped here by some means. I guess he would not take the risk, and the possibility of returning from the original route is greater."
Ma Lao said thoughtfully: "My idea is exactly the opposite of you. If that person really returned the same way, he would not have left so many things here."
As he said that, he went to fiddle with the treasure bags on the ground, and then said, "Look at these things and imagine the scene at that time. Only a desperate person would choose to swallow all the pills, discard the useless magic weapons, and go on a light and simple road. But where did he go?"
After saying that, the few people looked at the numbers next to them together, and they couldn't help but feel the same intuition in their hearts, which was that the number was related to the person's escape route before.
Several people couldn't help but wonder about the purpose of this number. After discussing for a long time, Lin Tao looked at it for a long time and felt it looked familiar. Then he said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of this thing, but I've seen similar things before. Do you see anything special when you look at these numbers?"
Mr. Ma said: "Lin Tao, the situation is very urgent now. It is not a time to keep it in hiding. Just say it just by saying something."
Lin Tao slapped his head: "Look at me, I'm used to talking like this, and I didn't turn it over for a while. These numbers are like some coordinates, such as taking our location as the origin, this 108 represents a 108 step upwards, and the one behind also has this meaning. Isn't that the stone tablet we once found on the back mountain of Stone City recorded this way?"
In response to this, Zhao Mingting had seen the stone tablet with his own eyes, so he was more familiar with the situation, so he raised questions and asked: "The piece we saw at that time was written very clearly, such as how many steps forward and how many steps left. But the one in front of us neither said what unit of measurement it was nor the front, back, left and right. Only these few numbers are difficult to judge."
This sentence woke Lin Tao up suddenly, making him shake his head and sigh. He didn't expect such an obvious mistake. It seemed that he was so nervous.
After thinking carefully, Lin Tao had another thought in his mind and said, "I was thinking just now that if the person who left this set of numbers wanted to point us a way out, then the unit of measurement of these numbers would definitely be what we can achieve. Look at these numbers, the largest number is more than 600. If you convert it in this way, the only suitable unit of measurement is steps. Otherwise, ordinary monks will not reach this distance at all. The question now is, what direction does this coordinate number represent? Is it up or left?"
Since the beginning, Mu Changfeng has not spoken much, staring at these numbers with his brows, as if he could see some mystery from it. At this time, he suddenly said, "I think it is not as complicated as you said. Look at these numbers, the numbers in the first and third lines are much larger than the group in the middle. If this thing is really coordinates, there will be no such low-level error."
A word awakened the dreamer. Lin Tao, after reminding Mu Changfeng, suddenly realized that this was not a coordinate at all, but told them how many steps they needed to take with their location as the origin. According to him, after taking these steps, there should be something like jumping, allowing them to continue to use space to jump. In this way, the problem will be solved, because they are too complicated.
The idea was decided, and Lin Tao started to let everyone take action. He and Ma Lao Zhao Mingting, each of them, led three or five more people to perform the space jumping technique. Although Xiao Kui was not a monk, she also had the ability of a Mahayana monk. She could not only take good care of herself, but also take care of others with ease.
The preparations were almost done, and Lin Tao was still a little worried. If the waiting platform was too narrow to accommodate them, there would be trouble when the time came. After all, those who left these numbers might not have expected so many people to come at one time.
Lin Tao put everyone together tightly and told him not to move around, and made his first space jump.
In an instant, they appeared in a dark space, which surprised Lin Tao. The space could accommodate many people. However, the air here was very thin and almost in a vacuum state. Even if they were monks, they could use the Qihai to run the Zhoutian for a while and temporarily support it. If they were delayed for a moment, they still felt dizzy.
If they stay here for a while, they might all be poisoned to death, so Lin Tao did not dare to stay any longer. He followed the number of steps pointed to by the number and made another space jump...
After a few moments, the group finally saw the sun again. When they saw the warm sun again, they felt the illusion of being reborn as human beings.
As soon as Lin Tao came up, he remembered something that seemed to have not been done yet. He couldn't help but feel upset. Mu Changfeng asked him what it was. Lin Tao said: "Those numbers should be destroyed when we leave."
"That, I'll do it long ago." Old Ma said lightly.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, looked at the environment they were in again, and couldn't help but open their mouths.
