Chapter 278: A New Layer
"Where are you from?" said Phines raised her hand and slapped Thor's paw away.
"I'm from the Sarvinian continent and at the same time I'm a human being. Saul replied.
"Humans, what's the world like over there?" Fenis blinked, as if she didn't know anything about humans.
How's the world over there?, Thor put his arm under his head, looked at the top of the tent and began the long story.
Outside the tent, Kratan and Owen stood guard not far away.
"Why do you think the two brothers and sisters have been in for so long and haven't come out, what are they doing inside?" asked Kratan.
"How do I know!" said Aowen yawned a little boredly.
"Otherwise, you can go and rest for a while, and then come back to change me, and I'll guard it first. Kratan suddenly suggested.
"That'...... All right. Owen agreed after a slight hesitation, then looked deeply at Kratan.
In the past few days, I have been going out hunting with Thor every night, and I have to get up early every day, so it is inevitable that people will be easily sleepy. Aowen's spy operation has almost been successfully completed, and he is afraid of being pursued by Saul, and his belongings have been quietly moved.
"My bunk is over there. Kratan pointed in the right direction.
Owen gave him a blank look, then slipped into Kratan's tent and didn't move.
When he remembered that someone of the opposite sex was sleeping in his kennel, Kratan felt his heart pounding wildly, and his whole face was a little red and hot, so he could only forcibly shift his attention to the guard in front of him.
Time passed silently, and Kratan himself did not expect that this stop would stand from the afternoon to the middle of the night.
Thor didn't know who fell asleep first with Finis, but he felt that after talking a lot, he was unconscious.
When he woke up from a trance, he saw Fenis hugging him tightly, and his expression was a little funny.
Thor raised his hand to wipe her saliva, and Phines woke up.
Seeing that he was cloaked and holding Thor in his arms, Phines's face turned red after looking at each other. I was obviously listening to him tell a story about another continent, and I fell asleep after listening to it somehow, which was obviously rude.
"Thank you, brother, I haven't slept so soundly in a long time. Phineth whispered.
"Because of the safety of the team?"
"Yes, I'm always worried that the night watchman will suddenly be in danger, and then the people will disappear one by one, which is the main thing I have had in my nightmares over the years. Phineth was a little stunned.
"It's normal, so to change a little, you're putting too much pressure on yourself. Thor rubbed her head.
"And what now?" asked Phynice.
"Aren't you here to take me home? Thor smiled.
Walking out of the tent, Kratan's whole body was already standing in place and shaking, and he was about to die.
"Go and rest, and we'll take care of the rest. Thor tapped him on the shoulder amusefully.
The fire was raised, and Thor simply roasted some food, filling his stomach with Finis.
After a whispered conversation, it was time for the team to set off for the next day.
"Ah~" There was a scream from Kratan's tent, which scared Thor and Phines into jumping, and then saw Aowen running out with a shy face, and Kratan followed behind with some embarrassment.
This guy was in a daze last night, and he had long forgotten that Ao Wen was still sleeping with him, and he got into the quilt and hugged others and slept very sweetly.
"Well done, you've finally really grown up. Thor chuckled.
By the time everything was packed, the team over there was ready to go.
Thor and the others blended into the team and began a new day's journey.
Seeing the return of Thor, the clansmen were very pleased, mainly because they ate a day's rough food yesterday, which made everyone very unhappy.
"Where's my tent?" When the team arrived and finished their meal, Thor found that he couldn't find his tent.
"I've put on a cover, and you'll sleep in my tent from now on, just like you used to. Your tent has been distributed to the people below, after all, there is a shortage of supplies, so it can be regarded as a kind of care for them. Phineth replied with a natural expression.
"It's time to take care of it. Thor smiled meaningfully until Phines lowered her head.
During the night, Phines turned over and looked at Thor two paces away.
"Since you think I have a problem leading the team, why don't you ...... Come on. Finis suggested.
"You dream, I can just speak, in fact, I don't have any real skills, I usually help you come up with ideas. Besides, if I was really interested, I wouldn't need you to let me, so I would have driven you to wash the pot by virtue of the fake identity of the eldest son of the family. Thor hurriedly refused.
"Didn't you say you're a lord of a land? Phineth glared at him.
"Forget it, there's really no need, in case I leave without knowing it one day. Saul replied.
"You...... How to leave?" Finis was a little curious.
"Who knows? Just like I don't know how I got here, maybe it's gone with a whoosh. I can only think of two possibilities now, one is my strength to reach the fourth star, and the other is the possibility of finding the exit to this level. ”
"That exit may be a step to the next level for you, but it may be an opportunity for me to return. Saul replied.
"You say we're just your dreams,...... Is this true?" asked Finis, a little nervous.
"This is just my initial assumption, and there is no basis for it. And after I observed it, I found that each of you has a clear sense of autonomy and a certain logic, not like an absurd dream, so don't worry. Thor comforted.
For the rest of the day, Thor began to teach his people something in earnest. Traps, hunting, even cooking, everything you can think of that is conducive to survival, all without reservation.
As for the preparation of spices for cooking food, as well as the basic apothecary, Thor taught Finis alone.
Finis took her studies very seriously, as Saul said that this knowledge was relatively more valuable. Whether it is for the future development of the team, or in a desperate situation, it will be thrown out as the last bargaining chip.
In terms of hunting, Thor and Finis each lead their own teams every day, increasing the intensity of hunting.
Even after nightfall, he did not relax his strength, and every day he had to tire everyone like a dead dog to stop and rest. Fortunately, it usually tastes good when it is full, and everyone does not have many complaints, this is a team that has long been accustomed to hardship.
Although the time was a bit rushed, everyone still achieved the goal of two stars for all members when they reached the exit of this floor.
Eventually, Saul told Phines that this intensity of training must be maintained all the time, preferably in the tradition. Until the team becomes the most powerful force in the labyrinth, or one of them.
After going to the end of the maze, there was no exit in the left corner, so everyone rushed to the right.
After Finis's explanation, Thor had a clear composition of the entire maze in his mind.
Each level of the maze is about the same size, very wide, and roughly square. The entire square is vertically divided into fourteen equal intervals, equivalent to fourteen routes, and Phoenix's party should be on the third route, for each floor.
The exit from each floor will usually only be in the corner of the square top, either left or right anyway.
After the team reached the border of the maze at the top, they sent people to look at the left corner and made sure that the exit was on the right, and then they rushed to the right again.
Thor asked why he didn't see any other tribes on the road, and Phines replied that after the other teams reached the top, they still rushed their own ways, and they didn't deliberately wait for anyone, and only had a brief meeting on the next floor.
After chasing sideways along the edge of the maze for two days, I could see a tribe in front of me from a distance, and Thor and the others did not deliberately chase after them, and still maintained their own rhythm and pace.
When I reached the corner on the right, I saw a staircase going down. The size was a lot like the one Thor had seen in the reincarnation dungeon, but instead of a spiral staircase, it was an ancient turning shape, a stone slab.
The members of the team descended in turn, and Phines accompanied Thor at the end. Before going downstairs, Thor looked back at the vast labyrinth behind him, he was actually quite interested in the so-called Themoor, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance.
Phines stood at the top of the staircase, nervous, as she remembered that Thor had said that the staircase might be an opportunity for him to return.
The footsteps were tapping, and in a blink of an eye, everyone was already standing on the ground on a new floor.
He didn't travel back to his original hometown as he imagined, and Thor was a little silent.
“...... Are you still there?" said Phoenix, shaking Thor's hand slightly, a little nervously.
"Yes, I'm still here. Thor was amused by the strange question.
"Whew~" Hearing Thor's response, Phines little shiitake shrugged out a sigh of relief.
"Why can't I leave...... Is that something that makes you so happy? It's cruel, isn't it?" thall teased.
"Do you have to go? This team is all your family, and so am I. Phoenixy stuck out her tongue mischievously.
After this period of getting along, the two have become very familiar with each other, mainly referring to the spiritual. Although he said that he was reluctant to intervene in management, many of the ideas were developed by Thor and implemented by Phoenix, which is not much different from direct management.
Obviously said that it doesn't matter, isn't it good to live a quiet life? It's really cheap, Saul expressed strong disdain for himself.
According to Finis, this is the most dangerous layer of every ten layers of the maze, because the first eight layers of the three hundred and seventy-eight layers are all going well. Then the most dangerous layer must appear in one of the three hundred and seventy-nine and three hundred and eighty layers, with half probability each.
My luck is really not good, this is happening?Thor pouted to himself.
In fact, even if Finis didn't say it, Thor felt the difference between this layer and the previous one.
If you look up, you can see a corner of the labyrinth, the layout is still criss-crossed by the labyrinth aisles, and the torches on the walls are no different, but you can vaguely see the cold mist in the aisles.
Moreover, the walls of the corridor are obviously old and broken, and they are crawling with dry and strange dead ends, and even some strange traces can be seen, as if there are often battles here.
