In front of Wu Jiu was a long and narrow corridor, made of stone, with no end in sight, with an unknown end point and unknown risks.

At this moment, Wu Jiu was standing alone at the beginning of the corridor, as if waiting for something.

After entering the golden gate, Rong Xiao who was following him disappeared. From just now until now, Wu Jiu has been standing here, waiting for a vague miracle to appear. Unfortunately, the development of things is not satisfactory. After waiting for a long time in the brand new scene, Rong Xiao did not appear in the end.

After losing the trace of Rong Xiao, Wu Jiu was not overly at a loss. What gave him confidence was the trial itself. After passing the first two checkpoints, he has roughly figured out the path of this trial, although there are certain dangers , but the main purpose is to allow the subject to continue to grow through tempering. Now, he and Rong Xiao have successfully passed two rounds of "selection", far surpassing the other dog descendants who also entered the trial barrier. According to common sense , There is no need to wipe them out of this trial, because this behavior itself is contrary to its original intention of existence.

However, without a powerful helper, it is not a happy thing after all. Taking a deep breath, Wu Jiu finally decided not to waste time anymore. He has waited long enough, and now he can confirm whether Rong Xiao is right or not. will show up here too.

Wu Jiu looked at the promenade that could not be seen to the bottom at a glance, and began to quietly absorb the courage diffused in the air, accumulating her own self-protection power.

Before stepping into the promenade, he turned his head and looked back for the last time. The golden gate had long since disappeared. Behind him was a stone wall as tall as a person. It was like a sealed door, completely separating this place from the previous scene.

Stepping into the promenade, Wu Jiu was extra cautious, the quiet stone corridor was extraordinarily quiet, only the sound of his footsteps could be heard, Wu Jiu looked around while walking.

The rock walls on both sides are not blank. On the contrary, they are all painted with magnificent patterns and patterns, forming a huge mural covering the entire wall. These figurative patterns seem to be interpreting some ancient history or old customs. , Wu Jiu saw the shadow of "people" in many patterns, most of them were transformed from animals, and some pictures even had records of the transformation process of these intelligent animals.

These ethnic groups in human form worked, lived, and played in the murals, and jointly compiled a complete picture scroll of life. Wu Jiu looked at it with great interest, and felt that what he had learned about the Yu clan all along Even the "history" of other animal-shaped races has become bright and vivid at this moment, because they are all represented in this mural in a concrete form.

Unknowingly, Wu Jiu stopped in his tracks and looked at one of the murals obsessively. At a certain moment, he even had the delusion of being immersed in it.

Immersed in it... Wu Jiu was thinking about these four words, and always felt that the sudden thought was extremely inconsistent. He was like waking up from a big dream. He woke up suddenly, only to find himself clinging to the In front of the secondary mural, the colorful mural that was still very bright just now was replaced by dark and rough lines at some point. The messy lines swam back and forth flexibly on the smooth wall, like countless black long snakes, making At this moment, when Wu Jiu came to his senses, the pitch-black ball of thread was about to touch the tip of his nose. Wu Jiu took a sharp step back, and subconsciously threw the ball of courage that had been accumulating for a long time. After being hit by that force, the black lines shriveled immediately, like some kind of plant, withered instantly.

Standing in the middle of the road, Wu Jiu looked at the withered black thread, and let out a long sigh of relief. After relaxing, he inadvertently turned his head to look back, and then he took a breath. The high masonry wall was behind him, he had obviously walked forward for a long time, but unexpectedly returned to the starting point!

Looking at the dark corridor again, at this moment, it adds a bit of mysterious atmosphere in vain.

Stepping into the long corridor again, Wu Jiu didn't dare to look left and right anymore, and only focused on the front. The tension brought about by the experience just now made him walk very quickly, and he didn't find anything unusual along the way. Until a certain moment, he Feeling a strange dizziness, when he came back to his senses, he came to the original starting point again!

How is this going?Wu Jiu looked at the wall behind her, fell into confusion, stared at the wall for a moment, Wu Jiu used her courage to attack the wall, the light source condensed with bursting energy was on the wall, and there was no Any change, the seemingly powerful force did not even leave a trace on the wall, as if a dead leaf swept across the water without even bringing up a ripple.

Wu Jiu then tried physical attacks, used tools, and even knocked every stone brick on the wall one by one, and finally determined that the wall was really just a simple barrier, so she gave up exploring the wall, Wu Jiu Once again, he set his sights on this mysterious and seemingly endless corridor.

Stepping into the promenade for the third time, Wu Jiu began to count the time and the number of steps, carefully looking at each brick under his feet, and at the end of a quarter of an hour, he stopped. According to his memory, the last time he produced When feeling dizzy, it is near here.

Standing on the same spot, Wu Jiu stretched out her hand tentatively. There was nothing in front of her. Wu Jiu should not have touched anything, but when she stretched her hand to a certain distance, the familiar feeling of dizziness struck again, and Wu Jiu looked back. , not surprisingly, I saw the wall at the starting point.

At this point, Wu Jiu finally knew the secret of this long corridor. There is a teleportation thing in front of the long corridor. Once stepping in, it will be teleported to the starting point. Those who walk forward return to the initial starting position infinitely. If they keep moving forward, they will never reach the end.

But any puzzle has an answer, and Wu Jiu's firm belief in the trial itself confirmed that this is not an unsolvable problem. Staring at the promenade ahead for a long time, Wu Jiu once again set her sights on the double stone wall.

As the black "long snake" was scattered by Wu Jiu's blow, the dreamlike and magnificent picture on the wall disappeared, and became a pattern engraved on the wall.

Wu Jiu took a closer look, and found that without the blessing of black stripes, these patterns became more abstract and simpler, but she could vaguely see the original intention expressed. Wu Jiu looked over one by one, and finally found some of these patterns. Strangely, whether it is literature, history or customs, the patterns are incoherent, as if they were randomly scattered, making people look a little uncomfortable. Wu Jiu walked to the middle of the corridor, and finally found a side that can be counted as "beginning". "As for the murals, that is the new knowledge I learned in the maze of stone slabs just now. There is a history about the first part of this continent, and the origin of the name Arakawa Ze Continent.

Looking at the mural, Wu Jiu couldn't help stretching out his hand. In the end, he was surprised to find that the mural was taken off the wall by him, like a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing, clinging to the palm of his hand. Genuine stonework, yet seemingly weightless.

Wu Jiu immediately took this painting and walked towards the beginning. He came to the first mural and tried to replace it, but failed. Wu Jiu looked around and finally set his sights on the mural behind the starting point On the other wall, with the mural in her hand, Wu Jiu looked close to the wall, and an invisible suction appeared, and the mural was stuck to the brand new wall in this way, seamlessly, as if it was there.

Entering a brand new wall, the engraved patterns are reinfused with color, and the rivers, lakes and seas become vivid and lifelike again, but this time, the picture is only fresh and alive, but it no longer has the original lively and strange feeling up.

This continent named Arakawa Ze consists of three areas: the khaki-colored wasteland, the indigo-colored Okawa, and the green swamp. The Okawa is the largest river that runs across the entire wasteland, all the way into the sea. The swamp is the most fertile on both sides of the Okawa. the land, the wilderness and the sea completely enveloping both

When the first sacred tree was born in the center of Dachuan, the first Yu clan appeared.

Seeing that he had found the right idea to solve the problem, Wu Jiu immediately began to search for the second mural on the promenade. Based on his memory, he found the next story in a short time. As the first holy tree grew taller, , the first Yu family was born on it, he wore colorful feathers, and claimed to be a descendant of God.

The second piece of mural was smoothly integrated into the wall, and Wu Jiu searched for the third piece non-stop. As a result, this fragmented past began to become coherent. With the appearance of Caiyu, intelligent beasts began to appear on this continent. People of the shape race, they saw the huge sacred tree growing in the big river from a distance, and they began to walk towards it as if they were inspired. , which makes them smarter, but also makes their system weaker.

When the group of former beasts finally gathered under the sacred tree, Iroha fell from the sky and turned into a beautiful young man. The beasts who were shocked by the young man's appearance knelt in front of him to express their submission. The young man loved their intelligence, but troubled them Finally, he taught them the method of his own form transformation, and this group of people who had forgotten the shape of the beast was finally able to transform back and forth between the two forms, and they regained the sensitivity and strength of the beast.

Under the leadership of Caiyu, this group of magical tribes possessing the intelligence of humans, the agility and strength of beasts began to reclaim wasteland around the holy tree. After several generations of reproduction, the place has become more prosperous than ever before. The capital of China, divided into two halves by long rivers and great rivers, is called Zhongdu.

Soon, the prosperous marshes attracted the covetousness of ghosts. They climbed up from the ground, trying to occupy this rich and prosperous land.

Iroha led a group of beast descendants to fight against the ghosts. In order to enhance the combat power of the beasts, he taught them the method of absorbing the ghosts' souls to increase their combat power. Finally, he drove the ghosts back to the ground. , set up four sealing towers, and assigned manpower to guard them. In the end, they became four new cities guarding Zhongdu, and that was the origin of the four county towns surrounding Zhongdu in Zedi.

Caiyu sent her confidant Yu clan to manage these four counties, and asked them to recruit beast descendants as servants like herself. As a result, new followers began to appear, and emerging ethnic groups began to gain precious reproduction as slaves. Opportunity.

The story came to an abrupt end. Wu Jiu took back the last piece of mural. When the picture was absorbed by the wall, the whole wall reconnected the pictures just now, like a revolving lantern. When all the pictures were checked in order, Wu Jiu Hearing the sound of unlocking in the air, he turned his head to look at the corridor behind him, only to find that the seemingly endless corridor just now disappeared, and an ordinary wooden door appeared in front of his eyes.
