Chapter 361: The Other Side of the World
It was a lake, at least it seemed.
Far away, just at the edge of the forest, the pale green of the lake reflects the dazzling sunlight.
Thor didn't run away with a look of surprise, in fact he was a little rusty now, like an old sluggish machine being revived. This rusty stickiness comes not only from the body, but also from the spirit.
After too long of repeated walking, he felt as if he had just been released from a petrified state, or that he was a stone that was transforming back into a human form. Raising his gaze and moving forward at the same pace and pace, Thor breathed a sigh of relief.
He could clearly sense that he was getting closer to the lake.
At the very least, this shows that what I see is not an illusion, nor is it a mental conjecture.
Standing on the edge of the lake, Thor noticed that the lake was not as big as he thought, but only slightly larger than a pond. The water of the lake is crystal clear, and with the help of sunlight, you can see the silt and aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake.
I took a sip of the lake water, it was slightly sweet, it looked very ordinary, just water.
Thor was overwhelmed by despair for a moment, because standing on the edge of the lake, he could see clearly, there were no fish in the lake, no drowned corpses, and no evil hosts, and the water was so clear that it felt very unreal.
Of course, there is no exit to the maze at the same time.
Thor couldn't prove the uniqueness of the lake, maybe there was one in every direction, and he just found one of them. But now that he was here, Thor decided to go around the lake before walking.
Although there weren't any animals running to the lake to drink, Thor turned his head around as he walked, trying to find more differences. There is an eerie sense of dead silence in the entire labyrinth world, and you can't even find the slightest breeze.
And himself, and only himself, is the only intruder.
After a half-circle along the lake, Thor finally laughed, for he felt the malice coming from this labyrinth.
At this time, through the change of angle, it can be seen that the edge of the lake where Thor was standing before has a slope with a slope and a concave slope on the structure of the lake wall, and on that slope there is a bottomless black hole, and he was standing on top of the black hole just now so he didn't see anything.
If you come to the lake and take a casual look and leave disappointed, it will undoubtedly be a sad story.
Maybe it's a bit funny to rely on a hole to change your fate, but that's what Thor thinks at this time. He was inexplicably more than ninety percent sure that the hole must be the exit, although he didn't know where it led.
The darkness is bottomless, and I don't know what's in it or how long I need to hold my breath. Looking at the size and width of the hole, it seems that it is just enough for a person to swim in, but if you want to make a horizontal U-turn after going deeper, it is obviously impossible, which means that there is no way back.
Thor walked back and forth by the lake, awakening his bodily functions while figuring out the details of what might come his way.
The worst result is that he didn't go back anywhere, and finally suffocated in the hole. The better result is to complete the promotion of the fifth order and return to the ring space, after all, his body is there.
From one dead silence to another.
Maybe it wasn't a good result, but at least there's a puppet shiitake mushroom to feed itself, isn't it?
When everything was almost ready, Thor made his way to the top of the cave, took a deep breath, and plunged headlong into the lake.
He felt that the only key was to be fast, because he should not have a chance to breathe.
The lake was slightly cool and comfortable, and Thor directly touched the entrance of the cave and drilled into it.
The passage in the cave is circular as a whole, and the cave wall is quite flat, and there is no sharp craggy that deliberately makes people difficult.
As it gradually deepened, it encountered a semi-arc turn and changed backwards, and the light behind him gradually faded, and the surroundings were pitch black. But it's not a big problem, as a visitor to the mainland of Salvinia, perhaps darkness is the most intimate color.
The darkness in this passage was pure, and Thor found that his dark vision was ineffective. I don't know if it was because that ability didn't bring it into the labyrinth, or if there was something strange about the darkness here, Thor could only grope his way forward.
I couldn't see anything, and I felt as if I was swimming in a darkness where I couldn't see my fingers. Except for the occasional bubble sound of his own spit out, there was no sound around, and various depressing illusions began to sprout in his heart.
It occurred to Thor that what if he was claustrophobic, or even if he couldn't swim?
Forget it, now is not the time to express his opinion, he can only desperately speed up his swimming.
What if it's a dead end? What if it's a maze at the bottom of a lake? All kinds of irrepressible thoughts are still jumping in my heart.
It didn't seem to be long before Thor felt like he was dying, choking on water.
Choking on water is like a boundary, once the first sip is choked, the person will cough violently, and it will be difficult for the consciousness to stay awake, and the next ...... It's just going to be the end. Thor could only use his hands and feet very unsightly, like a wild dog in the water.
Finally, Thor finally found an upward slope.
Isn't it a little easier? This maze is like calculating the limit of its own gas storage.
Thor climbed up the slope with an arch, and suddenly opened his mouth like a deep-sea rhinoceros and took a big breath, but before he could spit it out, he fainted. The air is poisonous!, this was the last remnant of Thor's consciousness before he passed out.
When he opened his eyes again, Thor subconsciously took a few breaths like a bellows, and then laughed.
He had actually seen the scene in front of him, although he had only seen it once, and even thought that he would never see it again.
At this time, I was reclining on a pile of covers, and judging from the height of the covers, this certainly did not belong to a private person, but to many people.
Apparently he's become the stupid guy named 'Havac' again, oh, the cheap brother of Phoenix's shiitake mushrooms.
What was this guy doing here before he came over? Is it basking in the sun? The point is that there's no sun here?
This is obviously still a layer of the labyrinth of the 'Dungeon of the Gods', or the Abyss of Annihilation? Lair of Chaos? Forget it, whatever. It seems that during his absence, the original Havac has become even more depraved, and has obviously adapted to old age in advance.
This can be felt in the white-eyed care from the occasional passing team member around him.
Thor smiled charmingly, it had been too long since he had seen a human since he had gone to the ring and continued his trials. Oh, these aren't strictly human, they're purple-skinned, black-haired aliens, but at least they can communicate, don't they?
He was in a good mood now, and since he was here again, his promotion to the fifth rank could almost be said to be successful.
Next, as long as you find the Void Beast in the dangerous labyrinth layer, and after some beating and killing, you can go home through the portal left by the Void Beast. Oh, I should say back to my lonely ring.
But why is that? Saul put his hands on his chest and went into philosopher's mode.
The last time it was a little abrupt, and Thor didn't have time to think about it, he just wanted to get out of here quickly.
When he returned through the portal of the Void Beast, he had involuntarily forgotten everything about the advancement.
This time, Thor thinks that the labyrinth of trials and this 'dungeon of the gods' are obviously two places or two worlds. What bothered Thor was why he had to come so late when he got to the end of his promotion?
What is the reason for letting one's soul play the role of another person, and what is the point?
"Get out of here!" a coquettish shout interrupted Thor's deep heaviness.
Thor subconsciously turned his head and sighed...... It seems that Fenis Shiitake has not done nothing over the years, at least the big place has become a little bigger. Oh, the girlish temperament has decreased, but the whole person is more beautiful and capable.
Thor hurriedly grinned and gave his own smile, but unfortunately Fenis didn't even glance at him.
"You hurry up and process these furs today, and then pull a few more tents. Phineth turned to the fur-clad team members around her, and only turned away after receiving a respectful nod from the team.
Thor subconsciously lowered his head and touched his body, oh, it's the fur not the cover, I misjudged it before, this should be the team's stocking point. Now that the team can process the leather by itself, it seems that the leather technology of the adjacent team should be snatched up.
It's not bad, it looks like the little shiitake mushrooms have made everything impressive. Just looking at Phines who turned around and wanted to leave, Thor suddenly felt angry, no one could ignore the Great Demon King, and neither could the alien shiitake mushrooms.
Judging from Phines's attitude, the relationship between Waste Wood Haval and her should have returned to the original freezing point.
Forget it, it's up to the Great Demon King to personally save your tense brother-sister relationship!
So Thor decisively jumped off the pile of fur and quickly pounced...... Oh, chased after it.
Grabbing Phines by the arm, he threw her into the haystack next to her, and Thor slid up with pinpoint precision.
It's a pity that as soon as I rubbed my soft little mouth, I was pushed away by Fenis's irresistible force, and then 'snap~'.
This loud slap made everyone seem to hear the echo from the labyrinth room.
Thor's head twisted to one side, and he spun twice with inertia before falling to the ground, and the world was still spinning after falling.
Finis deftly bounced up from the haystack, threw Thor a cold, disdainful look, and turned to leave.
It was only two steps before she paused and turned to look at Thor.
"Yes...... Is that you?" said Fenis's voice, trembling with hope.
What the hell is me? Thor shook his head like a wild dog in the water, and it took the slap to dispel the vertigo. This great demon king has done evil all his life, and this is the first time he has been slapped by the mushroom monster, and this humiliation even makes the evil god cry.
Oh, it must be a problem with this face!
If he had revealed his true colors, the mushroom monster would have been arrested a long time ago, and Thor quickly found the reason for the crime.
He just wanted to pick up a sneak kiss while people were unprepared, and then announce the arrival of the Great Demon King again. Well, I can't imagine that the mushroom monster welcomes you so warmly, am I really your brother? You're my brother, right?
"Your strength...... Looks like it's getting bigger!" Thor muttered, forgetting to use the continental lingua franca.
"Is it really you!?" Phynices Shiitake pounced gently.
Thor thinks it's hypocritical!
