Chapter 267: Unknown Life

Thor had been carrying his own rags on his back and following the group.

The tattered tatters consisted of a cover, two small clay cups filled with water, a clay plate, and a rusty dagger, and that was all he had. Supplies are undoubtedly scarce, but for Thor, who is used to suffering, it is not a big problem.

As for the so-called bedding, it is really just a bundle of scattered hay.

When you go to bed, spread the hay on the ground, and shake a rag that acts as a sheet to the surface, and this is the bed.

In addition to his poor possessions, Thor carried two poorly made tents of animal skins, but even the roughness was not something he could enjoy. It belonged to the two people in the team with a management position, and Thor was just acting as someone else's handyman.

The wound on the ankle from the poisonous snake bite gradually improved after two days and no longer affected the movement.

In the past two days, in addition to trying to keep up with the pace of the team, Saul has also been figuring out his current situation. Unfortunately, his knowledge is limited, and even if Thor took the initiative to talk to anyone in the team, no one would pay attention to him.

The whole team consisted of thirty-five people, twenty women and fifteen men, all of whom were young and middle-aged, and there were no old people or children. Thor suspects that the old man and the child may have been left behind in the rush, or that they had been eliminated by the hectic pace of life.

Speaking of danger, there are actually everywhere here, and you may encounter them as you walk. It could be a beast, or it could be some strangely shaped monster, which gave Thor the illusion that his party was trudging through the dark wilderness.

Thor had determined that he was still in a labyrinth, but it was unknown if this labyrinth was still a rank labyrinth, as his body began to feel hungry and thirsty like a normal person again.

The team is interesting, it seems to be divided into six small teams, each with a squad leader or something, and then a young female captain, and Thor is not part of any of them.

This was not a blessing, as Thor was the equivalent of a servant and handyman for the entire team, serving all small teams, or everyone in the team. He has a share in all the drudgery, but not all the good deeds.

The main thing for the whole team to do every day is to travel, day and night.

Except for eating and sleeping all the time on the road every day, Thor doesn't know what they are running away from.

It's not just these people who are strange, but the maze itself is also strange, the whole maze seems to be very wide, and it can be completely let go.

The terrain isn't just a crisscrossing of aisles, or rather a small part of a labyrinth. It is not uncommon to encounter such large spaces on the road, as if a large room suddenly appeared at the junction of an aisle and an aisle.

Whenever I came across this kind of room, everyone happened to be tired from the journey, so they would stop and rest.

However, Saul noted that there are options for such breaks.

First of all, the space chosen by the team is never located at an intersection, and Saul estimates that if there are four intersections, the vigil will become leaky on all sides, and there will be one more person on the night watch, so usually the team will stay in an open area with only three intersections.

Secondly, the selected open space should be large enough to accommodate more than 30 people to rest.

Whenever the team stops to rest, it is not that they fall asleep, but that they will leave a squad on duty for the night, one squad will go out in search of food and water, and the rest will rest and wait for the squad to return and then rotate one by one.

When it comes to finding food and water, this is yet another place that Thor can't understand. Because basically the wolf, mouse or pheasant that appears in the maze are the main food source for the team, the question is, why are there pheasants in the maze?

In addition to the carnivorous maze, there are also patches of plants, densely packed with all kinds of berries, mushrooms, and even pointy leaf carrot beans and dill celery, which Sol has seen, but the question is, who grows these exactly?

It's easier to get water, like the small pool that Thor encountered when he first climbed up from the Sky Tower, which is the source of the water. It seems that the labyrinth is everywhere, and there are even a few times when Thor has seen large areas of grassland and a lake in the labyrinth.

Unfortunately, no matter what the terrain, even if the conditions were conducive to survival, the team never stayed for long.

To be precise, looking for food is actually hunting, and since it is hunting, there will inevitably be fighting.

In terms of combat, Thor found that if he was divided according to the rank standard of the Salvinian continent, he was currently equivalent to only the strength of the first order. The rest of the team is generally also a first-order, only the captain and the two squad leaders are three second-order.

Well, I'm obviously here to advance, but now I'm going backwards. Fortunately, the enemies encountered in this labyrinth are generally not too strong, so these days, there have been no casualties in the team.

After a few days of mixing with the group, Thor could already see his face in the light of the pool.

This face is obviously no longer Saul Drake, his original handsome appearance has become the current purple-skinned idiot named 'Hawak', only the mind is still his own.

Can't be himself, can't be someone else, Saul suddenly didn't know where to go.

Fortunately, I need to go back to the problem of survival and the rush of the day, and I don't give myself much time to think about damn philosophical questions like where I am and who I am.

While it is unclear what his current situation is, Thor believes that it is an illusion, as he still hasn't woken up from the labyrinth of advancement. If you have woken up, you should be in the bed in the territory bedroom, not in this environment.

What's more, not only has his strength regressed now, but even he has become another person.

The strange thing is that although the body is not his own, his two professional skills are still there, or they can still be used.

Thor vividly remembers making a big fuss at the ball in Odrensa, when the third elder of the Dark Council, Sestin, his seventh-order illusionist daughter Sinelle, had cast an illusion on him and dragged herself back to the old things in Grey Velode.

It is undoubtedly a dangerous thing to lose consciousness in battle, but fortunately, his third-order professional skill 'Necromantic Pupil' was forced to trigger, so that he saw through the illusion and solved the crisis, and it was from that time that Thor learned the usefulness of the 'Necromantic Pupil'.

After coming to this labyrinth, Thor also tried to use the 'Necromantic Pupil' to look around, but to no avail, and I don't know if it was because the skill was not strong enough or for some other unknown reason.

Anyway, for now, whether Saul wants it or not, he's a different person.

Thor has always had a good ability to adapt, and after this period of observation, he has basically adapted to the rhythm of life in the team. Aside from the fact that everyone in the team seemed to have an inexplicable prejudice against themselves and disdain to communicate with them, there were no major problems.

Saul didn't care about this, he had been living in isolation during his years in the monastery.

In addition to following the team, Thor has been observing, or researching ways to break the illusion, more often than not.

The only thing that worries Thor is the passage of time, and he may have passed a few months in the process of his slumbering promotion, and he doesn't know how the territory and Beth are doing, let alone whether he has a chance to wake up, and how long it will take.

Thor wondered if those who never woke up after advancing to the rank would be like himself, in such an unbreakable fantasy, living day after day, or living in another form.

Unable to find a chance to return, Thor can only refocus on the life in front of him.

After adapting to the current life, the rhythm is actually quite orderly and stable, but there is also a kind of boring repetition. Every day of hunting, night watch, and hurrying, day after day, it seems that there is no end in sight, and there is no hope in sight.

Thor never gave up communicating with people during this time, but unfortunately except for arranging vigils or hunting missions, the people in the team never paid attention to him. Those disdainful glances drove Thor mad, did I pee on the graves of your ancestors?

A bunch of neurotics!

Gradually, Thor didn't bother to bother, and if he asked what was going on, it wouldn't necessarily help him to return.

In the past two days, Thor has some new ideas, and he finds that the team's handling of food is very crude.

For example, meat obtained from fresh hunting can be roasted on the fire and stuffed into the mouth, which has no technical content at all.

It's not a picky taste, although Thor is not a full-time chef, but he does have a little bit of wild cooking skills. Looking at the crudely processed food, Saul thinks it's disrespectful to the food, leaving his chef's heart in a constant state of agitation.

I didn't feel it for a short time, and Thor began to get used to eating salt-free food for a long time.

He had thought that these aborigines had always come this way, and they didn't know what salt was, and although they could find food in the labyrinth, they didn't seem to have heard of finding salt, so Sol thought everyone was the same.

Later, Thor discovered that it was not that there was no salt, but that it was very rare, and it was tightly covered by the woman of the captain, and occasionally sprinkled a little seasoning on the barbecue. But the barbecue was a benefit for a few managers and regular team members, and it had nothing to do with Thor.

This makes people angry, usually you let me do the most tiring work, do the most things, I endure, you spurn and isolate me, I don't talk to me, I also endure, but a little salt, you still have to play different, it's very boring!

So when he was about to fall asleep before the night of duty, Thor took the initiative to get into the captain's tent.

There's no way, everyone is very busy before going to sleep, and they basically won't be idle, and only at this time can there be a chance to talk about things.

"Captain, I have something to say. "Thor's ancient continental lingua franca has become very proficient after repeated use during this time.

Captain Phinis, who is known to everyone as Phoenix, is actually a girl in Saul's eyes, no different from Beth's group of shiitake mushrooms.

"Get out!" Hearing Thor's words, Finis glanced up at Thor, the disdain in her eyes and tone undisguised.

"I'm looking for something from you. Thor didn't care about the other party's attitude, just prepared to finish what he had to say.

"I'm telling you to get out!" Phoenix's voice suddenly increased, and the whole person stood up, the dagger in his hand and pointed at Thor. Then several squad leaders who heard the movement outside also drew their weapons and entered the tent to surround Thor.
