"But …" "But it's completely useless. Just now, I already carved an emblem on the wall, didn't we come back around?" Qi Sanpang did not understand the meaning behind Fang Zi's words. In his opinion, if the emblem was useful, they would not have seen the emblem previously.

Fang Zishu calmly analyzed, "In the southeast clans, there was a special method to determine one's position. But first, we have to walk through this maze once more. But before we go, we have to arrange a particular order for each fork in the labyrinth. "

"And then?" Qi Sanpang was curious.

In the past, he had encountered the situation of being trapped in the underground palace when he was in the midst of a battle.

At that time, he tried various methods to leave the place, but unfortunately, no matter how he tried, he failed. At that time, Qi Sanpang was extremely worried, and in the end, his companions, the Mountain Shifting Founder, had methods, and they actually used gunpowder to blow up several cave entrances.

However, the current situation was completely different from the one before. That time, he encountered a rectangular maze, although there were many forks in the road of cultivation, a few more detours would allow him to find some clues, and when his companion 'Mountain Shifting Daoist' discovered the clues, he used gunpowder to forcefully destroy the 'tamping' layer outside the tomb, and had to use a great amount of effort to connect to the 'cave' that they had created beforehand, only then could he escape.

But now, before they entered this tomb, not only did they not shoot down the burrow, they also didn't know what the surrounding soil was made of.

The most worrisome thing to Qi Sanpang was that the two sides of the forked road were covered by wooden planks made of dark wood, which completely blocked the layer of soil behind the walls. In this situation, he did not know how the soil underneath the planks was made of, or whether it could be blown up.

Taking a step back, even if the soil under the dark wood was normal yellow soil or mixed soil, in this small space, even if they used fixed point blasting method, it would still be difficult to find a useful route.

The most terrifying thing was, if they were careless and caused the soil on both sides of the tunnel to collapse, then they would instantly be buried by the falling sand and stones. When that time came, not to mention Fang Zhoushu, even immortals would not be able to save them.

So, under these circumstances, Qi Sanpang really wanted to know what the so-called 'way to sort the paths' was. Would it really lead them out of this damn maze and into a new place?

Qi Sanpang was not the only one who was curious. Da Ceng, Pang Dun, and even Xiao Hui and Professor Xu also looked at Fang Zishu curiously. They all wanted to know what kind of method the book referred to was called under such circumstances.

Fang Zishu smiled, and explained: "This method is hard to say, but it is also easy to say." We will first arrange all the crossroads, and then use the stopwatch that we carry around to calculate the time it takes to not arrive at a single crossroad, and then use the time difference to determine the type of construction of this maze. "

"I'm afraid that the stopwatch won't work. There's a powerful magnetic field here, and even your compass has failed. Ordinary stopwatches will naturally not work."

As Qi Sanpang spoke, he rolled up his sleeves in front of everyone.

Sure enough.

At this moment, the three hands of the quartz watch on his wrist had all stopped in their tracks without the slightest movement.

"Oh yeah, we can use the time on our phones to count down?"

Da Ceng suggested, "Although there's a strong magnetic field here that will stop the movement of the compass and watch, mobile phones don't. The magnetic field can only affect the signal of the phone, and time is something brought on the phone. It's normal not to make a mistake."

It had to be said that Da Ceng's suggestion was indeed not bad, but unfortunately, it was said a little too late.

Due to the archaeology, everyone left their cellphones at the station before they left. Only Xiao Hui was left alone with his phone.

However, after such a long period of time, even while she was on standby, she still used up a lot of power from her phone. She had already warned him several times when she was shooting the statue of Tiger Boy that he was short of battery. A few minutes after they entered the maze, Xiao Hui's phone automatically shut down.

This meant that even though Da Ceng had proposed a feasible method, it could not be successfully implemented when his phone was turned off.

Seeing everyone's discouraged look, Fang Zishu could not help but comfort them, "Don't be discouraged, there are many ways to measure the time. Aside from watches, mobile phones and other instant measuring tools, we can also use some traditional methods to calculate."

"I know a way to determine direction and calculate time."

"The geography teacher once told me that if I were to lose my way in the wilderness, I can find a place with a sun, and then use the branches to stick in place and wait. Through the shadow cast by the branches on the ground, I can determine the direction and then use the distance and angle of the shadows to estimate the time taken."

"But we are in the underground palace now, where can we see any sunlight?" Xiao Hui ruthlessly punctured Fatty's plan.

"We can determine the direction through the river and some vegetation, but unfortunately, we won't be able to use them here." Da Peng's face was filled with vexation.

Professor Xu nodded. "If we get lost in the wild, I can indeed use the growth preferences of some plants to determine our position. However, my methods won't work in this dark maze."

Fang Zishu nodded. "I know, that is why we must use the most primitive method to measure time."

"What method?"

Fang Zishu slapped his thigh and laughed lightly, "We can use our number 11 bus."

"Route 11 bus? You mean leave? "

Qi Sanpang was stunned. "Go?" What kind of method was this? "And how do you measure time?"

The fat man seemed to know the method mentioned in the book as he said excitedly, "Master Fang, it can't be that Nimue wants to calculate time by walking, right?"

"Because all the functions of the adult body have reached their peak, they will not change for a very long time. This is what people call 'stereotyping'."

Pausing for a moment, Fang Zishu continued, "In the past when we were at the Fang family, I had done this every year. If I kept going at a constant speed, I would have been able to walk about 52 steps per minute, and the span of each step would have been around 80 centimeters. This figure has not been changed for three years, so when both my watch and my phone have failed, we can calculate the time by taking steps." "Although this method is troublesome, it is actually quite practical. It is also the only feasible method right now. What do you guys think?"
