Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 272 The first floor of the maze, the exploration is complete
"Huchi... Huchi", accompanied by a strong panting sound and trembling, Chu Xin felt that the monster behind him was getting closer, so close that the hot breath from the opponent's breath fell on him.

The power of the earth element surged rapidly, and earth walls, swamps, and thorns appeared behind Chu Xin.

I don't want to hurt the other party, I just want to delay the other party as much as possible, in exchange for enough escape time for myself.

"Boom", the ground thorns and earth wall were smashed into pieces in an instant, only the swamp caught the monster off guard, and it took dozens of seconds to break free from it.

But it was also this moment of respite that allowed Chu Xin to distance himself from the monster again, and to be safe for the time being.

But in Chu Xin's mental perception, the monster was pressing closer and closer, and the distance between the two sides was shrinking rapidly.

Blindly fleeing, sooner or later the other party will catch up.

In this case, only by meeting the iron scale as soon as possible and blocking the monster's passage can it be considered completely safe.

The agreement between Chu Xin and Tie Lin was that they would meet up quickly when they got the key. Counting the time, Tie Lin should arrive in about 3 minutes at most.

One after another, the mire spells were thrown out, but the effect became worse and worse. From the first tens of seconds, to the end, it was almost useless.

The monster was constantly adapting to Chu Xin's spells. Except for the first few moves it was not familiar with, it predicted ahead of time, stepped on the walls on both sides of the passage, and easily crossed the range of the mud spell.

After this monster entered the tunnel, its size shrunk a lot, and now it looked like an ordinary hunting dog. Its flexible body allowed it to travel quickly underground without any obstacles.

The opponent's pursuit was too fast. According to this trend, Chu Xin felt that he could only last for less than half a minute at most.

It was hard to delay the time any longer, which meant that he had to endure one or even multiple attacks from this seven-star monster before coming to Iron Scale's rescue.

"Huh", a gust of evil wind hit.

There was no need to look back, Chu Xin's mental perception had already "seen" the picture, and the monster slapped towards him with a claw.

With a thought, a layer of bones was quickly assembled on Chu Xin's body. This was the undead armor from Friday, a four-star undead spell.

At the same time, his figure swayed slightly imperceptibly, barely getting out of the way of the monster's claws, and only withstood a relatively marginal force.

A strong force came from behind, and Chu Xin withstood the blow with his undead armor.

"Crack", the undead armor shattered in response, and then there was a burning pain on the back.

"Not dead yet!" Chu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, his goal had been achieved.

With the strength of the opponent's blow, he bounced far away in the dark underground passage like a cannonball, and once again opened the distance between him and the monster.

Regardless of checking the wound on his back, Chu Xin frantically ran forward. He had already sensed movement in the darkness ahead, and the iron scale was approaching.

But if you use the same method a second time, it will definitely not work.

Just now, the opponent just hit casually, and almost lost his life. If he hit with all his strength, I am afraid that there will be no chance to borrow strength, or he will be killed by the opponent in seconds.

The attack of the seven-star creature is not so easy to withstand.

"Roar", there were bursts of terrifying howls that looked like humans but not humans, and beasts and not beasts. Chu Xin was startled, and felt something in the darkness behind him quickly attacking him.

Oops!

I didn't have time to check what method the opponent used to attack, but this angry blow would never be like the light blow just now.

Chu Xin quickly calmed down, and the undead armor on his body condensed again. At the same time, the temperature around his body dropped rapidly, and a layer of blue ice crystals quickly condensed into shape.

Bing Meng's life-saving six-star water-based defensive spell, with his magic power greatly increased, he cast it very smoothly.

In addition, there is also a spiritual shield formed by mobilizing most of the spiritual power in his body on the innermost side.

At this moment, Chu Xin had reached the MAX of his defense power.

But whether she could withstand the seven-star attack, Chu Xin had no idea.

The first thing to break open was the outer ice crystal shield. After resisting it for a moment, it shattered into ice slags on the ground, followed by the undead armor, which also broke instantly.

At this time, Chu Xin finally saw clearly the monster's attack method. It was the tail on its back, which extended an astonishing ten meters, stabbing him like a spear.

After breaking through the ice crystal shield and undead armor one after another, he hit his mental power shield unabated.

It only lasted for less than three seconds, and with a "click", the spiritual shield full of cracks shattered.

But immediately, a blue brilliance emerged and blocked the spear.

This is, the magic shield!
Chu Xin's magic power trembled violently, almost three-quarters down, and finally stabilized.

But the opponent's attack did not stop. The spear retreated a few meters slightly to gather momentum for the next blow. Chu Xin, who had exhausted his defensive means, only had a little magic power left on his magic shield, and it was difficult to resist another attack from the opponent. .

Suddenly, countless dirt fell down, instantly filling the distance between Chu Xin and the monster.

Ironscale is finally here!

After all, the monster was ready to attack for the second time, but it still didn't have time to pierce it. The mud that fell madly covered it.

"Retreat, withdraw!" Chu Xin called Tie Lin and Xiaoqing to retreat quickly, keeping a distance from the monster to prevent the opponent's attack from breaking through the blockade of the soil.

From the movement coming from the soil, one can feel that this monster is rapidly approaching here.

Chu Xin took Tie Lin and Xiao Qing and continued to sink. At the same time, Tie Lin quickly blocked the passage near the monster and buried it in the ground.

As for using the underground space to kill the opponent, he didn't even think about it. It was a blessing to be able to trap the opponent underground. It was simply impossible to kill the opponent with the few of them.

Moreover, the scene where the shadow clone was blown by parasites was still in front of us. Killing this monster might cause trouble for the upper body, but it would be more effective than trapping it.

More than 50 meters deep underground, even if this guy wants to climb out of the ground, it is not an easy task.

After confirming that the opponent was completely trapped, Chu Xin relaxed, followed by burning pain.

The situation was urgent and I didn't have time to check it. Only now did I realize that the claw had left three deep blood grooves on his back, and the blood was continuously leaving.

But Chu Xin could sense that the injury was healing. This was because the rapid growth and healing of the prostitute group had taken effect. Otherwise, relying on his own recovery ability, the injury might not last for 24 hours.

After the monster devoured all the villagers and dogs in the village, it was empty, and the monster was sealed underground again, so now there will be no enemies in the whole village.

Chu Xin showed up in the village with Xiao Qing and Tie Lin carelessly, and began to search the rooms from house to house.

The key has been obtained, and the next step is to find the dark hole.

This thing is quite a wide range, the door of the room, the mouth of the bottle and jar, the well... these seem to be counted.

But the prompt only gave one direction, and it was up to Chu Xin to explore what the answer was.

The scale of this village is not too big, but it is definitely not small. There are about more than 200 houses, and there are seventeen or eight pots in each house, including chimneys and wells outside the house. I don’t know how many targets need to be explored. .

In 10 minutes, Chu Xin only explored five rooms. According to this progress, it will take at least five or six hours to search the entire village.

Moreover, he still doesn't know whether he is searching in the right direction.

After a brief hesitation, Chu Xin decided to carry out the original plan, and the immortal showed the way (〃'▽'〃)!

The method is very simple. It is to secretly release the underground monster. According to the goblin's setting for it, as long as Chu Xin and others do not appear within the opponent's perception range, it will most likely find the next target to protect.

As for the goal of guarding, besides the key, isn't that the only door.

If this method doesn't work, you can repeat the same trick, and then lure this monster into the ground to trap it, it will be a waste of time at most.

But once successful, the time saved is also a lot.

Fortunately, it has iron scales. Without the advantage of land travel, the difficulty of exploring this maze would be terrifying.

This seven-star monster is obviously a melee-type creature, with exaggerated physical fitness, coupled with the speed of coming and going like the wind, it is simply invincible in this village.

Basically, as long as it is activated, it will be difficult to complete the maze exploration. If Chu Xin hadn't worn the iron scales, he would definitely have fallen on this level.

But now, with the advantage of underground space, there are more strategies that can be used.

After making some preparations, the group returned to the ground again. Chu Xin took the iron scales and began to actively clear the monster in front.

The monster was also very cooperative, digging vigorously behind him, and soon entered the tunnel dug by Iron Scale.

In an instant, it sensed the aura of enemies appearing in the above-ground world.

Without the slightest hesitation, the monster sank to the ground with its four claws, and ran up crazily. Just waiting for it to rush to the ground, it was shocked to find that the target on the ground had disappeared unconsciously.

Including the passage it ran all the way out of, it was smoothed out very intimately.

The monster roared a few words anxiously, but after still being unable to find the enemy's target, it began to walk in one direction unhappily.

Slowly, it walked out of the village, came to the head of the village, and lay down slowly under a big banyan tree.

Chu Xin, who was following the other party all the way, perked up and explored the situation around the big banyan tree. Soon, he found the clue.

At the bottom of the big banyan tree, there was a hole the size of a washbasin. Chu Xin's spiritual perception explored it, but was unexpectedly blocked.

Obviously, this is the exit from the maze. I don't know how to use this key. It seems that there is no door to open.

The monster is guarding in front of the banyan tree, so it must not be able to go up to test it, it must be lured away first.

Familiar routines, familiar methods, this time the monster has learned it well, and seems to realize that going underground is not good for him, so he didn't take the initiative to chase it down.

But it didn't bother Chu Xin, he took out the key that he had just lost, and arranged a decent burial for him with ease.

"This goblin is so insidious, the exit is arranged outside the village!" Chu Xin stood under the big banyan tree, full of complaints about the goblin.

Under normal circumstances, who would think outside the village, really search the entire village according to the prompts, how much time will be wasted, and will unconsciously fall into the strange circle of thinking that exits in the village.

Xiaoqing and Tie Lin, with big, ignorant eyes, were indifferent to Chu Xin's complaints.

Chu Xin shook his head, took the golden key from Xiaoqing's hand, and walked towards the hole in the banyan tree.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered, there was a sense of dizziness, which was the feeling of being teleported.

This feeling only lasted for a moment, and Chu Xin felt his feet solid. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in front of a huge maze.

This time it was a very real labyrinth, with walls three to four meters high on both sides of the deep entrance passage.

It can be seen that this large area is divided into passages by these walls, which together form a huge maze.

"Hey, is this the original appearance of this maze?" Chu Xin didn't think much about it. He guessed that if the goblin hadn't entered indiscriminately, perhaps what he should explore was the maze in front of him.

However, why is the reward for this maze not given?
Thinking of this, Chu Xin's eyes widened, thinking of a terrible possibility.

"Reminder, you have completed the exploration of the first floor of the maze, and you will be rewarded with 2000 exploration points and the right to choose items from the goblin backpack once."

"Please choose whether to continue. Continuing will start the exploration of the second floor of the maze. If you succeed in the exploration, you will get more rewards. If you fail, all the rewards you have obtained will be confiscated and you will be punished by the goblin. If you give up, you can leave the maze with future rewards."

"Option 1: Continue; Option 2: Resolutely continue. Please choose!"

???

I knew it wasn't that simple!
In fact, Chu Xin accepted as soon as he wanted to, so that he could get the reward without being punished by the goblin.

But the problem is that both options are affirmative, and he has no choice but to continue.

The most important thing is that when Chu Xin hesitated to choose, the damn maze exploration time was still counting down. The longer he hesitated now, the less time left for exploration.

"Choose 1!"

Anyway, I have no choice, but it seems that the rewards are more generous than I expected. It turns out that the 2000 exploration points are just the basic rewards. If you continue to explore, there will be more rewards.

This made Chu Xin feel a little less forced, but a little more looking forward to it.

Holding the old underground driver in his hand, he occupies a geographical advantage, and there is too much room for maneuvering. Chu Xin is still quite confident about the next exploration of the second floor of the maze.

"Hint, you chose to continue exploring the maze. I have to say that this is a wise choice. Then, the second stage, escape from the dark maze, start!"

"Maze reminder: This is a constantly moving maze, and only those with enough insight can get out of it."

"Reminder, the hunters on the first floor of the maze will be teleported to the dark maze in one hour, and hunt down the maze explorers!"

"It is a reminder that at least two people are required to participate in the dark maze, and the other person can gain the ability to overlook the overall situation and provide off-site guidance. When two participants reach the end of the maze, they are deemed to have passed the dark maze."

"Hint, hunters have obtained special ability bonuses, please pay attention!"
