Chapter 1210 The First Rule
"..."
"Obviously, we cannot be illuminated by the searchlights above."
"Indeed."
By the wall of the military fortress, Ronald and Patricia looked at each other.
Of course they knew they had to be careful when entering the military fortress, and they did not regard the watchtower above as a mere decoration.
It's just that the two of them never expected that the obstacles in the maze would come so quickly this time.
They only walked a few steps forward and backward, but were instantly illuminated by the light from the watchtower, and then were thrown back to the starting point by the rules of the maze.
"Don't be anxious now. Let's take a closer look at the structure inside."
Ronald calmed down and then analyzed rationally:
"Especially the watchtowers above. If we can see through their lighting rules, the maze will be better this time. Break."
Patricia nodded slightly.
Then the two of them stood at the edge of the gap in the military fortress wall without saying a word, and began to carefully observe the changes in the maze.
The ground part of the military fortress maze is still very particular about rules.
The venues and equipment for military training, the materials parked in the square, and the traces left by the casters after practicing the spells. These are actually the things that will appear in the military fortress. Under the rules of the maze picture book, they become an influence on people's progress. obstacles, and the prototype of the maze sprouted from this.
To be fair, a maze with such a simple structure can only be said to be a simple test for Ronald and Patricia, who have already conquered several mazes in succession.
Only the few watchtowers standing in the military fortress were the real difficulty.
After the two Ronalds figured out the general structure of the maze and even had a walking route in mind, they then looked at the high-altitude watchtower and found that the path they had just summarized was unusable.
If you follow the normal maze route.
Then, on the entire route, key nodes close to double digits are located where the observation tower can most easily illuminate them.
Ronald and Patricia were moving at the speed of ordinary people.
As long as you are approached by the light, it will be difficult to escape from the opponent's tracking range.
"..."
"Ronald, these watchtowers have blocked almost all the key positions deep into the military fortress."
After five minutes, Patricia couldn't help but said to Ronald:
"In my opinion, With the ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a way to get through here in a short time."
Ronald looked solemn and nodded in approval of Patricia's statement:
"Actually, it's not just you, the result I saw is also the same. "
Especially the lighting of these watchtowers. Apart from limiting the light to a certain radius, there is no pattern at all. It is as if the operator above is unconsciously shaking the searchlight while yawning!" The current
situation Just like Ronald said.
Even though he and Patricia were observing carefully, they couldn't find any pattern in the lights on the watchtower.
And if you can't find this pattern...
How can you easily pass through the maze of military fortresses that are tightly covered by it?
Just like that, just a few minutes spent observing without progress. Ronald realized that this was just a waste of time, so he gritted his teeth and made a rather bold decision:
"Time can't be delayed any longer!"
"Patricia, let's enter the maze now and start conquering it!"
"If you stand If we can’t observe the results here, then we will actually go in and have a look. Just standing around won’t solve any problems!”
Patricia obviously did not expect Ronald to make such a decision.
A trace of surprise flashed across the girl's face, but she quickly calmed down, and then nodded her head vigorously:
"Let's go, Ronald, I believe you!"
After the decision was made, Ronald and Patricia immediately took action. .
This time, based on the experience they had when they broke in for the first time, they were wary of 'sneak attacks' from the watchtower in the early stage, and they progressed smoothly for a certain distance at first.
However, when they reached about a third of the way into the maze.
The first crisis occurred.
In the direction they were coming and on the correct road they were going to, two beams of light, one in front and one behind, shone over each other. The light that completely blocked the road had no chance of slipping through!
No matter whether you go forward or backward, the only ending is to be thrown back to the starting point!
"..."
"Patricia, come with me!"
In this case, Ronald grabbed Patricia's wrist without hesitation, and then led the girl into the unreachable side. Exit fork in the road.
The path here leads to dead ends and endless twists and turns.
In order not to be thrown directly back to the entrance, Ronald had no choice but to adopt this avoidance method.
"Ronald, look behind you!"
However, at this moment, Patricia reminded loudly from behind Ronald.
He turned around and looked.
A more oppressive picture immediately came into view.
The lights from the two watchtowers did not follow their original trajectory and draw circles on the ground. Instead, they suddenly changed direction in the middle and turned directly towards Ronald and Patricia!
This kind of change that ignores inertia has only one possibility.
——This light is chasing Ronald and the other two!
"Damn it!"
Ronald couldn't help but cursed.
However, he did not give up struggling because of this situation. Instead, he used all his strength to continue running forward and started racing against the obviously faster light!
"Patricia, follow me!"
"I want to verify something!"
Ronald shouted as he ran, and the swordsman girl behind him immediately responded:
"Okay, I will follow!"
"..."
This thrilling chase did not last long.
While walking on the branch road, Ronald also took the time to observe the positions of the two watchtowers.
So, just after they escaped fifty meters from the maze.
Ronald suddenly stopped, and then looked solemnly at the trajectory of the detective's light behind him.
Patricia, who was also pulled to a sudden stop, had not yet reacted, so her tone was quite confusing:
"Ronald, why don't you leave?"
Ronald raised his finger calmly and said to Patricia He replied:
"Don't worry, the most critical time is now."
Almost in response to what Ronald said, two intertwined searchlight beams came to them.
In the next second, the two of them would be enveloped in a beam of light.
Then throw it directly back to the entrance.
But this scene just didn't happen.
Because right in front of Ronald, the two beams of light stopped moving forward. They were like hounds held by a dog chain, and could only bite the enemy within the range of their activities.
As for the part beyond the range of the iron chain, they can only stay in the extreme position and then roar in vain.
At this time, Patricia understood everything:
"Ronald, this is the limit distance of their lighting!"
Ronald nodded and admitted, and then explained:
"Now it seems that although they will take the initiative to chase into the maze people, but still can’t break the limitation of distance.”
