Previously, Wu Liang visually estimated that this underground secret realm was about the size of a football field.

Now looking at it again, Wu Liang felt that the area of ​​this underground secret realm had at least doubled, and even the four stone platforms located at four corners of the secret realm were much farther away. The corpses of soldiers who had jumped off the stone platform that could be clearly seen before were somewhat difficult to see clearly.

All signs indicate.

This underground secret realm has indeed become larger. Their actions towards the stone house in the center of the secret realm have not shortened the distance between them, but have also been constantly distanced from the stone house.

Wu Liang looked back and looked at the location he had just set off.

They were not standing still, but they did indeed walk a not-so-short distance...

Wu Liang looked down at the stone slabs with uniform specifications under his feet.

Strangely, the area of ​​these slabs has not changed at all.

That is to say, even if the area of ​​this underground secret realm becomes larger and larger and the stone house is getting farther and farther away from them, in fact, not all things here are scaled up together.

besides.

Wu Liang went to observe carefully again and found that the stone house, the four stone platforms, and the drum of admonition themselves had not changed. The only thing that changed was the distance between him and them.

Even the dome of this underground secret realm did not seem to have a significant increase.

"A little like a fool..."

Wu Liang guessed so much in his heart.

Many things that can be used as reference objects have not changed. What is mainly changed is the area of ​​this underground secret realm and the distance between everyone and these reference objects.

This situation is very similar to a kind of visual deception, and visual deception is a trick.

But Wu Liang could not say what kind of tricks this was and what principles it used, so he could not confirm his guess.

"live!"

This situation naturally attracted Yan Lu's attention very early, and he finally waved his hand to stop.

Because the more you walk, the further you get from the stone house. If you can't solve this problem, I'm afraid that if you walk here for a lifetime, you will never be able to reach the stone house.

"Zuo Xianshi, do you know what's going on?"

After stopping everyone, Yan Lu called Zuo Ci to her side and asked with a frown.

"This is very likely another effect of this formation..."

Zuo Ci pondered for a moment and analyzed carefully, "The soldiers who went to the stone platform just now should not have encountered this situation, otherwise they would not be able to reach the stone platform smoothly, but they were inexplicably confused... In this way, it can be judged that this formation should have at least two different magic techniques mixed in. As for whether there is a third type, the fourth type is still an unknown number. However, even if there is only two magic effects, it is still much more powerful than I expected, which is extraordinary."

Hearing this, Wu Liang suddenly interrupted and asked, "We are different from the situations we encountered before. Is it possible that it is because of the different areas we entered?"

"you mean……"

Yan Lu turned his head and looked at Wu Liang, saying thoughtfully.

"So far, there has been no similar situation among us who have ever seen the soldiers before. The witchcraft that can confuse the mind has not been used on any of us."

Wu Liang continued, "The soldiers in the past did not encounter a situation similar to us, otherwise they would not be able to arrive at the stone platform smoothly. So can we speculate that although there may be multiple witchcrafts in this formation, the same person may only be affected by one witchcraft at the same time, and..."

Speaking of this, Wu Liang suddenly turned around and looked at the group of soldiers and asked loudly: "Did everyone find that the more we walk, the further we get from the stone house, and the secret realm is getting bigger and bigger?"

“That’s right!”

"Are we also being evil?"

"Under such a situation, will we never be able to walk through the stone house, nor will we ever be able to walk out of this secret realm, and we will be trapped here to death?"

"Mr. Yan, I don't want to die here!"

"What should I do..."

"Do you have any ideas? Tell me out quickly if you have one. Don't keep it here!"

The soldiers gave Wu Liang a positive answer one after another, chatting like venting the panic in their hearts, and the scene instantly became a little noisy.

"Quiet!"

Wu Liang had to shout out loud and yell at everyone, and then asked, "But someone has a situation other than that. Whether you see, hear, or smell it, any situation that is contrary to common sense is considered. If you want to survive, you will report it immediately!"

“…”

This time, no one responded again. The soldiers just subconsciously looked around, trying to find out what Wu Liang said that was contrary to common sense.

After waiting for about three seconds, no one came forward to report.

At this time, Wu Liangcai looked at Yan Lu and Zuo Ci again and said seriously: "It can be concluded that the situation we encountered is a group phenomenon, not different from people. The situations we encountered before were also a group phenomenon. Therefore, I think that if, as Zuo Xianshi said, different witchcrafts were mixed into this formation, then it is likely to be distributed in different areas. This is the biggest difference between us and those soldiers before. That is, no matter who or how many people, as long as we enter different areas, we will definitely be affected by the corresponding witchcraft, and no one is the exception. If you want to resolve witchcraft, you should also focus on this factor."

"Little brother is right!"

Zuo Ci didn't expect Wu Liangjing to analyze this step. He looked at him unexpectedly, then nodded in agreement, "But we should be trapped in this area at present, and we cannot move forward or retreat. This is the dilemma we must face now... I wonder if my little brother has ever heard of a witchcraft called "the curse of the earth"?"

"I heard a little. I heard that this witchcraft is very magical. It can be used thousands of miles away with just one foot. Unfortunately, I have only heard it and have never seen it with my own eyes. Has Master Zuo seen it?"

Wu Liang replied.

"I have never seen it before."

Zuo Ci shook his head and said, "But since this witchcraft uses the word "reducing the earth" but not the word "shen action", it means that its essence is not "steps", but "reducing the earth". When we travel in mountains and rivers, we must have to endure the pain of crossing mountains and rivers and sleeping in the open. However, if we are on a thumbnail map, we can reach the Western Regions from the East China Sea in an instant even with our fingers. What's more, this may be the essence of the "reducing the earth curse"."

"this……"

Wu Liang was slightly stunned.

This was the first time he heard someone interpret the "Shrinking Curse" from this perspective, which was indeed an eye-opener.

At the same time, Wu Liang immediately understood Zuo Ci's meaning.

When he mentioned the "Shrinking Curse" at this time, it must be related to the situation they are currently facing. Could it be...

Zuo Ci means that this secret realm may have been imposed with a "reducing mantra". The real secret realm may be much larger than what they had seen before. It was just shrunk by the "reducing mantra" and hidden here.

And because they have no ability to control the "Shrinking Curse", they still have to endure the journey they had to shrink before, so that they can go further and bigger and bigger?

But if so.

They can't be considered trapped here.

Because even if they saw the world of "Shrinking the Earth Curse" before, and now they are walking and seeing the original journey, this world still has an end.

They can continue walking and there will always be a day to reach the end.

At the same time, they can also choose to return the same way. How long does it take to come here? They can use the same time to walk out. How can they be considered trapped?

"You mean that this place is subjected to a 'reducing curse'?"

Yan Lu then asked Wu Liang the questions in his heart.

"It's just that possible."

Zuo Ci said with no certainty, "We will know whether it is true or not. Now we only need to return the same way. If we spend the same time returning to the original place, it will confirm my guess. Next, we only need to prepare enough to continue to go to the stone chamber with peace of mind."

As expected, Zuo Ci used the same method to confirm this speculation.

"Everyone obeys the order!"

Yan Lu is not an indecisive person either. He immediately adopted Zuo Ci's opinion when he heard this and said loudly, "You must not make any mistakes when you return the same way!"

"promise!"

The soldiers were eager to leave this strange ghost place, and they hurriedly did so.

...

Not long after.

Wu Liang and others returned to their original place safely.

"Is it really what Zuo Ci said about the 'reducing mantra'?"

Wu Liang couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

It turns out that the legendary "Shrinking the Earth Curse" actually has this kind of usage. It can actually shrink and seal a large area, forming a large secret realm that outsiders can only notice after entering?

The question now is, how big is this reduced area?

Just now, Wu Liang and others were walking in this area, and they felt that the stone house was getting farther and farther away, and the secret realm was getting bigger and bigger. They didn't know where the limit was.

So even if it is confirmed that the "land-reducing curse" is indeed implemented in this place, how long will it take to reach that stone house if you enter again?

"I am worthy of being the Master Zuo, and I can see the essence of this place at a glance."

Yan Lu praised Zuo Ci very much and said in a very good mood, "If I can get what I want this time, Zuo Xianshi will be the first to be the master of my achievements."

"Yan Gong praised it."

Zuo Ci smiled modestly.

"Since that's the case, we should take advantage of the victory and complete the work here as soon as possible, and leave this ghost place earlier."

Yan Lu then summoned a soldier to his side and said, "Every time I enter this secret realm, I will ask no one to bring three days of food rations for emergencies. You can collect the food rations these people carry for centralized management, and prepare to go to that stone house again."

"This... Mr. Yan, it's easier for them to carry the rations separately. When they are concentrated, they have to separate a few people to take care of and transport them. Then they will have to be distributed uniformly, which will be a lot of trouble. I don't think there is any need for this?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but put forward his own ideas.

"I see that your mouth and head are a little redundant!"
