The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 218 Labyrinth
  After staying in the misty forest for a night, Allen and Saru adjusted their bodies to the best condition. Then they each carried their full luggage and walked to the edge of the obsidian pillar. One of them stretched out his hand and put it on the edge of the pillar, concentrating on Imagine the idea of ​​entering the passage.

Allen felt his body suddenly alternate between light and heavy. When he opened his eyes again, he had lost sight of the misty forest scene with white mist. He was now in a place surrounded by walls on three sides. , there are also gray-brown rock walls at a height of 6-7 meters above the head.

The long passage continued forward for more than ten meters, and then was blocked by a rock wall at the turning point. The scenery further away could not be seen, only on the rock wall above the head, every ten meters or so. There is a piece of fluorite placed in it, emitting a faint light.

Saru was next to Allen. After opening his eyes at this time, he saw a strange environment. The first thing he did was to check the environment like Allen. However, in the passage with the same width of 6-7 meters, the scenery was so monotonous. , even if Saru's eyes were blurred, he couldn't see anything unusual.

"The sheepskin says that there are eleven passages like this in the misty forest, corresponding to the Star God constellation in the sky. It seems that our current location is the starting point of the maze."

The sheepskin in Saru's hand was copied from Mark and the others. At this time, he unfolded it and looked at it again, trying to find out some more information. However, when he put away the sheepskin, there was no other movement. It seemed that There is nothing gained.

"..."

Allen didn't have much experience in this kind of maze, so he just followed Saru without any idea and let him lead the way.

"Let's keep walking along this road. When we reach a fork in the road, we'll mark it. If we encounter a dead end, we'll turn back."

What Saru knows most about mazes is an eighth-level maze spell, but he has never experienced the power of this spell, let alone walked through the maze. The only ones that were of some use were some small methods and tips for solving mazes in the civilized world, which Saru recalled and used.

"it is good."

Allen nodded, but he suddenly swung his sword and hit it directly on the seemingly solid rock wall. With a loud bang, there were also faint sword marks on the rock.

"Let's go."

There is no point in staying here for a long time. Saru walked in the front, but his figure gradually faded and he had used shadow energy to hide his figure.

Allen walked behind, several feet away from Saru's hidden figure, so that even if there was danger, both of them could detect it in advance and respond in time. According to the records on the sheepskin, in this maze of unknown width, there were not only the two intruders, but also countless other unknown creatures that the original owners had placed to live here.

The maze is connected in all directions, but after only walking half a magic, Allen and Saru have already encountered 5-6 forks, and each fork does not seem to be a dead end. This makes Allen and Saru They were more cautious when traveling, and left marks with their swords in front of the forks in the road they passed.

However, what Allen and the others didn't know was that just as they left the starting point where they had just entered, the traces on the wall that had just been scratched by Allen's heavy sword were gradually fading and recovering until they turned into the original uneven shape again. appearance. It took half a day to go around like this. Allen and Saru were confused by this complicated and mysterious maze. When they finally encountered a dead end alley and turned back, they suddenly found that the traces they had left had long since disappeared. , so to speak, the two of them have been completely lost in this maze.

While Allen and Saru were looking for a way out, in other places in this vast mysterious maze, there were four teams just like them, exploring the way out of this maze. One team already had a to gain a share of the harvest, or to encounter other creatures and start a fight with them.

In one of the teams, a very familiar face to Allen appeared. It was Oscar, the druid who had just visited their village before. At this time, he was holding his staff and using natural magic to bring magic to those around him. Companions heal.

"Oscar, you don't have many magical slots left. Otherwise, it's better for you to transform into an iron-backed earth bear to hold up the front."

Next to Oscar, a dwarf wearing a suit of mail and holding two gorgeous one-handed axes gave Oscar unceremonious instructions.

"Ok."

When Oscar faced the other party's order, he agreed on the spot. The dwarf in front of him was the leader of this team.

Behind them, a team of more than a dozen people, including elves, humans, dwarves, and even kobolds and hobgoblins, were tending to their injuries in the execution alley. They had just experienced it before. A fierce fight, and the objects of the fight were just clusters of piranha flowers rooted in the soil.

Piranha flowers are an anomaly among plants, because they are plants that lure animals to their side by releasing the alluring nectar from their stamens, and then actively hunt their prey.

Because they are woody plants, their physical defense is better and their recovery power is also extremely strong. The roots buried deep in the soil are their weapons and sensory organs. When the shock wave of an active creature approaches, they will suddenly From a harmless, flourishing plant body to humans and animals, it suddenly turned into a ferocious and terrifying man-eating monster.

Flame is the natural nemesis of plants. A single piranha can actually be eradicated in this way. However, when the size of the piranha reaches a certain number, they can secrete a kind of piranha in the air and on the plant body. Breath and liquid inhibit the burning of flames, and at the same time, the activity of the fire element in the air is also inhibited.

Especially after a leader of legendary level was born from the piranha in this open space, Oscar and his party, whose way was blocked by the piranha, had to stay in this dead alley and wait for the ruins. Turn on the past of time and be ejected from the ruins; or they can only force their way through the piranha territory blocking the way.

The dwarf beside Oscar, Notin Thoris, is the leader of the Guard Knights of the Oak Church in Mansa City, and is also one of the five legendary powerful men installed by the church in Mansa City. Even when he faced the leader of the piranha, with the help of a strong man like Oscar, he could not lead his team to break through the blockade in front of him, which showed how powerful the piranha territory ahead was.

In fact, what Allen doesn't know is that the biggest difference between the Oscar he met almost two years ago and the Oscar he met just last month is that today's Oscar is already a true master. As early as 3 months ago, Oscar finally found his own belief after nearly 60 years of hard work and embarked on the path of legend.
