The cooperation with the young man was actually Tang Zhen’s spontaneous idea. However, after interacting with the young man, Tang Zhen was filled with antic.i.p.ation as to what kind of surprise the young man would bring him.

This young man was not simple. He was unknown now only because his wings had not yet grown. Once he could grasp power, he would definitely become a figure.

As for how high he could stand and how far he could go in the future, it was not something that Tang Zhen needed to be concerned about.

To Tang Zhen, there were far too many secrets about Lou Cheng. This was his first time coming into contact with it, but he had already experienced many visual impacts.

However, Tang Zhen also knew that this was merely the surface. He believed that the higher-ups in power would definitely be keeping even more secrets.

Since he wanted to build a city of his own, the more information he collected about this, the more beneficial it would be for him.

Only by being careful and not doing anything unprepared would one be able to live longer!

After pondering for a moment, Tang Zhen turned his head and left.

It had been a few days since he left Wanderer town, and he wondered how Murong Zi Yan, Qian Long, and the others were doing. Tang Zhen knew that without his permission, they would not leave the small town and would wait for his return.

Tang Zhen thought as he walked. However, after walking for more than ten minutes, he discovered that he seemed to be lost!

This dark corridor seemed to be very long. He had walked for so long, but he had not reached the end at all.

According to Tang Zhen’s visual estimation of the outer wall area of the Black Rock City, he was certain that there was definitely not such a long corridor inside. However, the corridor in front of him was really under his feet.

After musing for a moment on the spot, Tang Zhen once again took a step forward. However, this time around, he did not pay attention to the ground below his feet. He made a mark and paid attention to the details inside the corridor.

Half an hour later, Tang Zhen stopped his footsteps. A mocking smile appeared on his face.

I really didn’t expect that I would be tricked by that little guy and unknowingly led into such an interesting place!

Tang Zhen secretly sighed. However, he did not feel much anger in his heart. He only mocked himself. He did not even know that he had been tricked by the young man when he acted pretentiously in front of him.

In the past half an hour, Tang Zhen had been continuously walking forward. However, he did not show any signs of walking out of the corridor. It was as if this was an endless corridor that had no exit.

From Tang Zhen’s point of view, this corridor was filled with strangeness. If he continued walking without an exit, he was afraid that it would drive a person with a weak heart crazy.

If an ordinary person were to enter this place by mistake, he would definitely not be able to leave this place until the day he died.

However, Tang Zhen was different. Not only did he possess heaven-defying black technology, but he also had knowledge that far exceeded the natives of Lou Cheng.

After the natives of the other world entered this corridor, they might not know what to do and might not know the strange principle behind it. However, Tang Zhen had a faint guess.

This corridor should be a panlos staircase, or perhaps it could be called the hanging soul stairs.

Black Rock City was square in shape with a huge square in the middle. There were several floors of underground s.p.a.ce below the building for planting and rearing crops.

Ordinary floors had four staircases that were connected to each other, and they were connected from top to bottom to ensure that there was no obstruction.

And this kind of architectural environment provided the best geographical conditions for the construction of the panlos stairs.

Perhaps the panlos staircase was not built by Black Rock City, but appeared together with the tower after it was built.

Murong Ziyan had also heard of Tang Zhen before. After every Tower City was built, a strange place would appear. Strange things would often happen in that place. Therefore, such places were regarded as forbidden places by the residents of loucheng. Even the ruler of loucheng forbade the residents from approaching those places.

The basic principle of the panlos staircase was that there were four staircases in total, and the four corners were connected. However, each staircase went up, so it could be extended indefinitely.

Walking up these stairs was equivalent to stepping into an endless loop, never finding the way out.

In order to break this cycle, one had to jump out of this frame, or rather, destroy the walls on both sides of the staircase that guided people forward. Only then could one jump out of the panlos staircase.

Tang Zhen recalled the scene when he and the young man entered this corridor, but he discovered that he was unable to find any clues.

Although the panlos staircase was strange, a mere pa.s.sageway was not enough to trap Tang Zhen. According to his previous methods, he had at least two ways to escape from this place.

However, from the current situation, both methods had their drawbacks.

The teleportation could take him away immediately, but when he came back, he would still be in the same place, so this method was not feasible.

The short-distance teleportation on the map could also help him teleport to any place within a hundred meters. However, from the current scene on the map, only the pa.s.sage was shown, and the rest of the place was dark.

He believed that this was definitely Lou Cheng’s strange ability, which blocked or messed up the map. Otherwise, the powerful map would not only show the image of the corridor.

Tang Zhen didn’t dare to teleport rashly. If the pitch-black place was high in the sky, Tang Zhen, who couldn’t teleport continuously, would definitely fall from the sky and be smashed into meat paste.

Therefore, this method could also be undesirable.

However, in addition to these two simple and violent methods, Tang Zhen actually still had other means.

First of all, he could choose to blast open an exit in the corridor.

However, if he were to do so, he would easily attract the attention of the Black Rock City. If he were to meet an extremely powerful expert from the Black Rock City who could see through his quantum stealth light curtain, Tang Zhen would be in a dangerous situation.

Or, he could use the data combat interface to scan and detect the corridor.

The reason why the data battle interface was so expensive wasn’t because it only had simple functions such as monitoring the user’s body data and the weapon’s condition. Instead, it had more than 20 powerful branch options. It was just that Tang Zhen had never used them.

If an elite soldier were to possess such a powerful ability, they would instantly become a super soldier, capable of causing any enemy to tremble in fear.

What Tang Zhen wanted to use now was an option on the data battle interface.

The real-time mapping and imaging function of the terrain integrated radar, laser, ultrasonic, and other functions into one. It can map the geographical environment within a kilometer in an extremely short time and build a four-dimensional holographic image.

After he activated this option, lines of data immediately refreshed at the edge of Tang Zhen’s eyes like a waterfall. At the same time, a clear three-dimensional image formed by countless fine dots and lines gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

A minute later, the detection ended, and the four-dimensional holographic 3D image appeared in front of his eyes.

With just a glance, Tang Zhen was sure that this was indeed a panlos staircase!

Tang Zhen carefully looked at the image once. After he confirmed his position, he slowly walked to the wall of a corridor not far away and stood still.

There was a solid wall in front of him. When he threw a stone at it, there was an echo. When he touched it with his hand, it felt real, no different from the other walls of the corridor.

However, Tang Zhen was certain that the real exit of the panlos staircase was here!

The results of the survey on the data battle interface were never wrong. In the entire tunnel, there was only a very fine gap on this wall, which happened to be a door.

Tang Zhen walked toward the wall with large strides. Even if he was about to touch the wall, he did not have the slightest intention of stopping.

However, just as his nose was about to hit the wall, a magical thing happened. The image of the hard wall was still there, but Tang Zhen felt that he had pa.s.sed through an empty door.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Zhen realized that he had already left the panlos staircase and walked to the corridor outside.

He turned around and saw that the door where the soul ladder was hidden didn’t look any different from the other places. Even the solid walls of the corridor had disappeared without a trace.

“This is indeed an interesting place!”

Tang Zhen smiled. He stood up and walked out of black Rock City.
