TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"This is a big maze !!!" Liu Yang shouted. He was walking around the place he entered a few hours ago.

The high, thick walls completely surround the corner and are divided into several locations.

Being very small, Liu Yang looked like an ant in front of these gigantic walls. But looking from above, we can see that the place is a gigantic maze with a strong light in the middle.

Liu Yang's goal is to reach the middle of the maze because it is the only bright spot. The rest of the place was completely dark and full of strange creatures made of stone.

These creatures come out of the walls and attack people who are wandering through the maze.

After more than an hour of walking, Liu Yang has found several skeletons of people and many creatures. He saw that the skeletons had many precious items and leather bags full of items.

Liu Yang stole all of these skeletons and took the items for him.

After walking some more...

"Huh ?? What is that?" Liu Yang walked randomly through the maze as he marked the walls. This was to avoid going through the same place more than once.

Looking ahead, Liu Yang saw a faint light shining near the wall. That was the first time he saw this light after a few hours of walking.

So he ran to the spot to see what that light was.

But as he ran, Liu Yang was more frightened because the image of the light was becoming clearer.

"A barrier?" He commented.

The light turned out to be a transparent barrier, but looking inside. Liu Yang saw a person.

"A person sleeping?" He saw that he was a man looking 30-34 years old.

His appearance looked much older than usual because of hunger, but what was noteworthy was his leg, it was missing. Besides, his body was thin and almost dry.

This shows that he hasn't eaten anything in a long time.

The higher someone's level, the less food they need to eat. Because his body can recover its energy faster as it gets stronger.

Points in the vitality attribute also increase the time that a person can go without eating.

But looking at the man, Liu Yang can see that he must not have eaten anything in months or years.

In the Xinia Continent, a person without a body part was rare, because, with enough points in the vitality attribute, a person can regenerate any part of the cut body. The only exception is the head and the heart.

A person would die from having these two sites destroyed, but there were also exceptions. For there are skills that can keep a person alive even without a head or heart.

"This person seems to be a nobleman, but how did he get here?" Liu Yang was curious. He didn't think there would be people who managed to get through the worm lake.

The man must have his special methods for doing this.

"Should I wake him up?" Liu Yang did not know whether that person was alive or not.

zzz… zzz…

Liu Yang touched the barrier to see if the person inside would wake up or not.

The hissing sound is heard when his finger touches the barrier.

To his surprise, the man inside the barrier slowly opened his eyes. But the brightness was too weak.

The images he saw were blurred because of his weakness, but he could tell if the person who touched the barrier was a person or a creature.

When he saw that he was a person, the sparkle in his eyes increased. But he was still too weak to do anything.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and the barrier was broken. He tried to say something, but his voice was not so weak that he was.

Liu Yang understood what the man needed and took a potion from his bag.

If the man drinks a more powerful potion, he could vomit or die.

"You can drink this. This is a low-level potion" Liu Yang put the bottle in his mouth and spilled the liquid.

grupp… grupp…

The man drank without thinking twice. He was already almost dying, if he refuses to drink, his death would be closer.

coff !!!! cofff !!!!

He coughed and vomited a little after drinking the potion. His body recovered a little from its old appearance, but it was still dry and thin.

"You can drink this now. This potion is more powerful than the previous one" Liu Yang gave him an orange-colored potion to drink.

The man accepted and drank without hesitation.

A few moments later ...

"Fellow, I thank you for your help. Without that, I would have died "The man bowed and thanked. He was a nobleman, but after going through the experience of near-death all this time inside the barrier. He learned some new things about life.

So, bowing to Liu Yang was nothing humiliating to him.

"You are welcome." Liu Yang commented casually.

"Fellow, my name is Gargo, I am the son of the head of the Norva family in the Pheria Kingdom" The man introduced himself.

"Pheria Kingdom?" Liu Yang knows information about this kingdom, but what made it strange is that the kingdom was not close to the sea.

How was the man eaten by the creature?

The Pheria Kingdom was a neighboring of the Waetor Kingdom. The two kingdoms were divided by a large mountain range.

"Yes. I was eaten while I was traveling across the seas at the edge of the continent" Gargo commented. He understood that Liu Yang found it strange that he appeared inside the giant creature since he lived in a place far from the sea.

"Ohh… I see… But how did you get here? This place here is quite difficult to reach by common methods" Liu Yang asked curiously. He realized that Gargo was weaker than him.

"Well ..." Gargo didn't know how to answer that. Because his skills were secrets that should not be told to strangers.

"If you don't want to talk, that's no problem. Do you have any way to get out of here? " Liu Yang changed his question.

Getting out of the maze is his priority.

"Fellow, I ..."

"You can call me Allston, that's my name" Liu Yang interrupted. He didn't want to be called a fellow because it is so strange.

"It's all right. You can call me Gargo. "

"OK"

"Allston, the only way to get out of here is to reach the middle of the maze. There is some kind of bright spot there" Gargo commented. But this is something that Liu Yang already knew.

"Do you know the way to the center of the maze?"

"Not. If I had known, I would have escaped from here many years ago..." Gargo spoke in a discouraged tone.

"How old are you in here?"

"I have been here for about ten years, but this is time in the labyrinth. If I count when I was swallowed up by the giant creature, that's about twelve years."

"I see ... Were you also attacked by the old people?"
