Chapter 1091: The Endless Tunnel

Seeing Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan’s reaction, Ma Lu became a little shaken himself.

However, he still found it hard to accept these surreal things. The concept of an endless tunnel sounded utter ridiculous.

However, he did see Zhang Heng pick up the one-dollar coin from the ground. Logically speaking, no one had entered this tunnel since it was abandoned 50 years ago, and at that time, this one-dollar coin hadn’t even been designed yet. This indicated that the coin had been tossed not too long ago.

Of course, there was another possibility, and that was the two people who had jumped off the platform earlier. Thinking of this, Ma Lu’s eyes lit up again. He felt that he had found the only possible explanation. He, however, did not understand why Zhang Heng would lie about this matter. After contacting the other party, he insisted on listening to him talk about the rumors here. Zhang Heng appeared to be deliberately turning the atmosphere into a scary one.

It was only then that Ma Lu remembered that he actually did not know the identities of Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan. Previously, he did not care much about this matter. After all, as long as one was not a newcomer in the workplace, they would know that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan were arranged by the higher-ups to participate in the rescue operation, and Ma Lu had always been very polite to the two of them.

But now, he couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive about Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan’s true identities. They had been behaving from the start, and their focus was different from that of ordinary people. What surprised him more was what happened next. Ma Lu saw Zhang Heng put the large backpack he had been carrying on the ground.

He opened the zipper on the top and took out a longbow from inside.

Although the bow was wrapped in white cloth, Ma Lu instinctively felt a chill. When Zhang Heng untied the white cloth and revealed the authentic appearance of the bow, Ma Lu inhaled sharply.

It was the first time he had seen such a cool-looking longbow. The body of the bow looked like it was made of bones. It had a pale white luster that was unique to bone stubble. Coupled with its ferocious appearance, it reeked of ominous tellings.

Since he already had a bow, it was impossible he didn’t have arrows.

Ma Lu then saw Zhang Heng pull out an arrow pouch from his bag. He took out an antique-looking arrow from it and placed it on the white bone bow.

When the arrow was pointed at Ma Lu, he felt all his blood rushing to the top of his head. For some reason, he felt like he had nowhere to hide. Fortunately, Zhang Heng opened his mouth and asked politely, “Ma Lu, can you give me some space? Move aside, please.”

Ma Lu was frozen solid for a good half-minute before he finally reacted and hurriedly moved away.

Zhang Heng actually didn’t know if this method would work. Now that the three of them were trapped in this endless tunnel, they couldn’t communicate with the outside world and couldn’t use their navigation. If they continued to walk like this, the end result would be similar to the fate suffered by those who disappeared more than 50 years ago.

Therefore, Zhang Heng had no choice but to do something about it. He studied the items on his body and realized that the most likely one to come in handy in this situation was the Paris Arrow.

This arrow featured a capability of automatically hitting the target’s weakness after it left the bow.

On the surface, this characteristic did not seem to help the three of them in their current predicament. However, during the battle against Zavilcha, Zhang Heng had used the Paris Arrow to find out the real body of the monster.

It was also at that time that he discovered that the Pris Arrow also had a certain navigation bonus. Of course, this bonus wasn’t that easy to activate. Previously, when Zhang Heng used the Paris Arrow, the target must be within his line of sight, or at least within his line of sight before the arrow left the bow.

In other words, if Zhang Heng could not see the enemy, he could not use the arrow to track them. However, there were exceptions. When he was dealing with Zavilcha, for instance, Zhang Heng had aimed at the melted wall. The Paris Arrow, however, led him to Zavilcha’s real body in the library.

In other words, whether ventriloquist or puppet, it would be recognized as a part of the real body, which triggered its weakness attribute. However, Zhang Heng was not sure how great its range was.

He wasn’t even sure if what they were experiencing was an illusion or something else. Zhang Heng only decided to use the Paris Arrow to try out its effects here. If it didn’t work, he would consider other options.

In order to observe the landing point and direction of the Paris Arrow, Zhang Heng didn’t fully draw the bow. When he released his finger, the arrow left the bowstring and flew forward without hesitation.

Fan Meinan observed the trajectory of the arrow with her flashlight nervously. In the end, he realized that the Paris Arrow was flying straight forward. There was nothing out of the ordinary about its trajectory, then, and when its kinetic energy was exhausted, it was pulled down to the ground by gravity.

Did it fail?

Zhang Heng walked to the spot where the arrow had landed and picked up the Paris arrow from the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he did not put it back into his travel bag. Instead, he put it back on the Pestilence Bone Bow and raised it. This time, Zhang Heng did not point the darkness in front of him but aimed directly at the wall to his right.

Ma Lu blinked. He had no idea what Zhang Heng was trying to do. It was already strange enough that he had shot an arrow into the darkness for no apparent reason, but now, he was targeting the wall of the tunnel. Perhaps he hoped that this arrow could make a hole in the wall and lead everyone out of here.

Just as these thoughts ran through Ma Lu’s mind, Zhang Heng loosened his grip on the arrow. The arrow on the white bone bow flew out again, but then Ma Lu saw something that almost made his eyes pop out of their sockets—just before the arrow was about to hit the wall, it suddenly turned around for no reason and continued to fly forward, landing about 30 meters away.

What the heck was that?! This time, Ma Lu was genuinely shocked. If the one-dollar coin from before could be explained, he really couldn’t explain what was happening before him. This arrow that completely defied physics caused his back to be soaked by streams of cold sweat.

Zhang Heng, too, was a little surprised, never expecting the Paris Arrow to have really worked. Before it flew forward, it was because the target was really in front of it. After that, Zhang Heng changed direction, and the Paris arrow automatically corrected its trajectory. Zhang Heng continued to work hard, repeating the action of shooting and picking up the arrows. He paid special attention to keeping the arrow in his field of vision every time.

In the end, after about fifteen minutes, the three of them actually walked out of the tunnel and saw another platform.
