Chapter 185: Mystery Lock
[Wing Gliding] Temporary skill released in time can suddenly slow down the falling speed.

Li Sheng put on a personal exoskeleton in the air, activated the rocket backpack function, and stabilized his body about 20 meters above the ground.

call out--

The metal arrow cut through the sky and hit his back. Li Sheng twisted his body, swung the rusty machete in his right hand and slashed diagonally to deflect the arrow. He suddenly stretched out his left hand and grabbed the arrow.

The arrow was driven by an invisible force and was shaking violently like a wild horse.

Li Sheng's left hand cooperated with the exoskeleton arm to firmly grasp the arrow, and his right hand held the knife and chopped with all his strength.

clang!
The sharp arrowhead was cut off and the invisible force dissipated.

Li Sheng slowly landed in the tall grass and turned his head to see that the exoskeleton rocket backpack had been hit in the previous attack. The outer shell was damaged, revealing the control circuit inside which was flashing with sparks, and the fuel was leaking all over the ground.

It can’t fly anymore, but its other functions are still usable.

"Your arrows."

Li Sheng handed the broken arrow to Zhao Zijing, who quickly took it and picked up the arrowhead that fell on the ground and put it into his backpack.

Next to their feet was the mission battery, which was deep in the grass, surrounded by four or five-meter-high green grass, and a layer of humus on the moist soil. Some small insects were crawling around.

From what he knew about entomology, these insects did not belong to any terrestrial species.

"Is everything okay?"

Li Sheng asked loudly. When the plane crashed just now, Zhao Zijing used telekinesis to support the others who were unable to fly, so no one should have died.

Midnight Howl, who landed not too far away, said, "Not bad."

Mendoza coughed at six o'clock out of sight, "I'm fine."

The lush green grass all around acted like soundproofing material, making everyone's voices indistinct.

"Walking on the grass, use [Green Grass Field]!"

The voice of the Red Racer was heard at the six o'clock position, followed by the weak cry of Pidgeot and the sound of a Poké Ball collecting Pokémon.

[Grass Field] is a Grass-type move of Pokémon, which restores a portion of the health of the Pokémon on the ground.

It sounds like Crimson Driver gave Pidgeot an emergency treatment and hastily put it into the Poké Ball to prevent its injuries from getting worse.

"Huh." The driver breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed his anger, "Zhao Zijing! Give me an explanation!"

Unlike those trainers who treat Pokémon as tools, Crimson Racer, who grew up watching cartoons and playing every generation of games, truly treats Pokémon as partners and friends.

"I'm sorry that your Pokémon got hurt. I guarantee on the GOC that I will compensate you later."

As an elite sent by the Special Affairs Bureau to the Global Occult Alliance, Zhao Zijing is very knowledgeable about social interactions. He immediately admitted his mistakes and calmed his companions' emotions.

Turning her head, she immediately lowered her voice and said to Li Sheng who was standing nearby, "It wasn't me just now. It was a transcendent who was much stronger than me and whose power system was telekinetic. He suppressed my thoughts and temporarily took away the control of the arrow."

Another telekinetic being?
Li Sheng raised his eyebrows. The battlefield was extremely vast. The probability of encountering other unfamiliar players while walking around was lower than winning the lottery.

"Everyone stay where you are, I'll come find you."

His mind raced, but he remained calm on the surface. He shouted calmly, then took out a drone from his backpack.

This drone is a standard product of Prometheus. It cannot compare to Zhao Zijing’s high-end custom model, but it still has basic night vision and infrared sensing functions.

The drone took off into the air and disappeared into thin air the moment it flew over the top of the tall grass.

"Ok?"

Zhao Zijing, who was close by, also witnessed this scene.

She quickly released her remaining drones, but again, all of them disappeared inexplicably after flying over the top of the tall grass and could never be found again.

The drones that were stuck on the top of the tall grass and hovering showed a strange characteristic - their upper parts would become ethereal, while the lower parts would remain solid. If they rose at this time, they would all disappear.

If it descends, it will be able to return to the ground smoothly and the blurred upper part will return to normal.

Midnight Howl, who was not far away, came closer and was shocked when he saw this scene: "Space barrier?!"

"It's more than just a space barrier."

Li Sheng shook his head. He tried to activate the skill [Familiar Replacement] and replace himself to the position of the thousand paper cranes that were previously placed on the road, but there was no response.

The spiritual power value did not decrease.

What's worse is that even the [Emergency Escape Card] issued by the system, which can return to the real world from any situation, cannot be used.

"Mystery lock,"

Zhao Zijing took a deep breath and said in shock: "Only a legendary level puzzle lock can do this."

In a narrow sense, a maze is a concept in the world view of Dungeons & Dragons (DND). It specifically refers to those powerful barriers composed of magical energy that are responsible for guarding cities or holy places.

In a broad sense at the level of the killing field game, maze locks refer to those super-large barriers, formations, and prohibitions.

This kind of creation often requires extremely sophisticated and complex magic (or psionics, spells, arcane) skills.

Even the simplest maze requires the joint efforts of several Lv25 spellcasters to complete.

"No remote communication, no space teleportation, no exit from the killing field, even the effect of restoring the field itself"

Zhao Zijing muttered to herself, using telekinesis to break off a large area of ​​elephant grass in a cone-shaped area in front of her.

The elephant grass in front fell down one after another, and there was nothing in sight.

But when Zhao Zijing's telekinesis faded, the broken elephant grass that had fallen to the ground actually flew up on its own and returned to its original position as if time had gone back.

The tall grass swayed in the wind, with no visible signs of breakage.

"What the hell?"

Midnight Howl's scalp tingled, "Where are the others? We have to get out of here!"

"I can't leave." Zhao Zijing smiled bitterly.

The so-called mystery will succumb to the higher level of mystery.

The mystery contained in such a large-scale maze is far beyond the ability of players of her level.

Midnight Howl didn't understand what Zhao Zijing said, and shouted loudly: "Driver, Mendoza, where are you? Let's reunite as soon as possible, it's time to go."

"I'm here!"

Mendoza's voice was close at hand, and the midnight howl followed the direction of the voice. He reached out to pull at the tall grass and shouted, "Where are you? Stop moving. I'm coming to you."

"I didn't move."

Mendoza's voice suddenly sounded about ten meters behind Midnight Howl.

Zhao Zijing had a bitter expression, and added another feature to the puzzle lock, "space distortion."

The more characteristics are stacked, the stronger the maze is.

“You can’t leave, you can’t cross the line, and any damage to the surrounding field will be quickly restored.”

Li Sheng looked around and nodded, "I see, this is the Green Grassland."
