The colors of the strange land come in a dazzling way, and then quickly pull away, forming a realistic scene around it. When Darko saw the surrounding scenery clearly, he was sure that he had reached the fifth level through the delayed teleportation channel.

In the delayed portal, Darko felt like only a few seconds had passed, but he knew that in fact a long time had passed. What this teleportation channel changes is not the speed of time, but the perception system of the people who pass through the channel, making people's sense of time confused.

Although this layer is no longer a random teleportation, Darko did not see Wendy by his side, and it seems that everyone was separated during the teleportation process.

At this time, there are walls on three sides around Dakota, and only one is a passage, which is winding and twisting, but it seems to follow some invisible law, and there is an inexplicable beauty in its twists and turns. Darko looked towards the far end of the passage and saw that there were many branches in the passage, and he didn't know if he could meet other people through those branches.

It seems that the five floors are similar to the first floor, all of them are maze-like terrain, except that the first floor is a horizontal or longitudinal straight path, while the fifth floor here is an irregular zigzag passage. Dakko first searched the surrounding walls and ground to see if there were any maps to guide him.

In the first four floors, the first and second floors have a map of the entire floor in a conspicuous place, while the third and fourth floors do not have a map because they are not obscured by obstacles, so they can easily identify the direction to the next floor. Dakko thought that since this fifth layer is also the pattern of the labyrinth, then there should also be a map. Otherwise, if you rely solely on luck to find the lower level, you will rely too much on luck.

However, Darko searched for a long time, but he couldn't even find the shadow of the map, but found that the walls and the ground were coated with a mixture of various magical materials, so it took on a blue-green color. Darko was familiar with this mixture of magical materials, and the ink he used to copy teleportation scrolls was similar in color to them.

Darko was surprised, there were obviously many forks in the road in this fifth layer, why didn't there be a map to show the explorers the way? Do you really want to let them try their luck? Although Darko was puzzled, his movements were not slow, and he immediately ran along the passage towards the front. He didn't run blindly, but groped according to his own rules.

When he encounters a fork in the road, he always chooses the fork on the right side, which is equivalent to walking against the wall on the right side all the time. Because the maze is closed, the walls are continuous, and as long as you follow the wall on the same side, you can avoid repeating the path. Although it is possible to avoid taking a duplicate route by making a mark, this is a relic of a god after all, and even if you don't encounter other explorers, you can't say whether you will make a marker or not, and then disappear after a while.

After walking through the two intersections, Darko had a strange feeling, as if the structure of this maze was somewhat familiar to him. This feeling was completely unprovoked, as Darko had never touched any kind of labyrinth in his past life or in this life before coming to the Dead Ruins. Dakko was puzzled by an inexplicable familiarity, and the feeling made him feel the urge to scratch his ears and cheeks.

Fortunately, Darko calmed down in time, he knew that such a entanglement in the ruins was unavoidable, which would only slow down his progress in exploring the ruins and be left behind by others. Since entering the fifth layer is a delayed teleportation, then all the people who enter will start exploring this labyrinth at the same time, and whoever can find the right path first will also be able to seize the opportunity.

Unable to find the source of this familiar feeling for the time being, Darko tried to think differently, why there is no map on this level? The reason why the first two floors of the Dead Ruins have a map is because its purpose is not to rely on the maze to make it difficult for explorers, but to set up various obstacles in the process of passing through the maze passage to attack explorers. The first layer relies on alchemy traps, and the second layer uses giant alchemy golems.

When he thought of this, Darko perked up and opened his eyes wide. Each layer of the Dead Relic doesn't seem to be set up to block explorers from entering, but more like some form of screening. Just like the giant alchemy puppet modified by Kevin, it can also have good speed and magic resistance, and its overall performance has improved a lot compared to the second-layer alchemy puppet. There is also a layer where he has seen all kinds of alchemy traps, and he also has the feeling of releasing water.

The alchemy trap on the first layer is fully activated, which can completely block all the professions below the great samurai and the great magician, but under the release of water, it only limits the level to the threshold of the high-level. If the first layer relies on alchemy traps to eliminate low-level explorers, then the giant alchemy puppets on the second layer are aimed at the warriors, excluding all explorers who cannot cast spells.

According to this line of thought, Darko began to recall the situation of other layers, and the attack forms of the third layer became diversified, with zombies, corpse kings, resentful spirits, and electric zombies mixed together, and it was impossible to distinguish which undead creatures were the main force for screening. But as long as you can see from the characteristics of the explorers who entered the fourth floor, almost all people with weak mental strength failed to go down to the fourth floor, and Kevin escaped because of Wendy's timely rescue. It seems that among the three layers, the resentful spirit is the real killer move, in order to eliminate the explorers with weak mental power.

As for the fourth layer, it is more obvious, and it can be seen from the selectivity of the attack of the mindless soul that the fourth layer excludes the heretics who have faith, and those who remain are the unbelievers.

Darko wandered through the maze non-stop, thinking about what kind of screening method this fifth layer would be, and the familiar feeling was getting stronger and stronger, lingering in his heart. At this time, the frost armor on his body gradually turned into an ice element and dissipated, and it turned out that the duration of the spell had arrived. After inlaying the frost armor glyph, his frost armor had lasted for half an hour, which meant that he had been circling the labyrinth for half an hour.

Darko suddenly realized that after running for so long, not only did he not encounter anyone, but he also did not encounter any danger. When he walked through a fork in the road again, Darko stopped, turned his head to look at the passage he had walked behind him, and then closed his eyes and began to remember, the familiar feeling in his mind became more and more obvious in the process.

The explorers do not meet each other, and there is no danger in the labyrinth, which means that the screening method of the fifth layer is likely to be in the labyrinth itself! And the pattern of this labyrinth Darko seems to be familiar, and the reason why he is only familiar but not recognizable is that he does not see the whole maze in its entirety. When an object is magnified thousands of times, it is naturally difficult to recognize that thing when you put yourself in it.

Darko thought as he walked forward with his eyes closed. The passage had no regular twists and turns, but Dakko shifted direction as flexibly as if he could see the walls. When there was a fork in the road on the left, he stopped and turned to the left. When he opened his eyes, he saw a fork in the road appear in front of him.

"Haha! Sure enough, it's the escape teleportation array!" Darko laughed excitedly, and at the same time, he had quickly constructed a complete formation in his mind, and ran quickly when he saw the direction.

The labyrinth pattern on this level is the structure of the array diagram on the escape teleportation scroll, and Darko had copied hundreds of copies before. In order to tear apart the parallel space and teleport people back to the main space, this array has an average of 360 loops around the center of the array, and they do not intersect with each other. Daktronics guessed that there's a good chance everyone was at the outermost end of a loop. In this case, the location of the entrance to the lower six floors is also imminent, and only the position of the center of the formation is equal to the end of all peripheral loops. In order to screen all explorers fairly, in addition to the setting of delayed teleportation on this floor, it is necessary to ensure that the distance is the same, so the entrance to the lower six floors must be in the center of the array!

The first level is for rank, the second layer is for professions, the third layer is for souls, and the fourth layer is for faith. So the first layer excludes the explorers of the lower rank and leaves the higher ranks, the second layer excludes the warriors and the lawyers, the third layer excludes the weak souls and the strong spirits, and the fourth layer excludes the infidels and leaves the unbelievers.

And this fifth layer is a labyrinth with the formation diagram of escape teleportation, excluding professions that do not know the skills of inscriptions. It turns out that the ultimate purpose of this dead relic is to screen out the inscriptionists!

The reason why it is not screened all at once is also very simple, if you want to filter out the inscription master through the labyrinth of the magic array, you must be limited by the structure of the array itself. For example, there are only 360 circuits in this escape and teleportation array, and if there are more than 360 people, someone will inevitably meet, and it will not be possible to accurately screen it.

This method of eliminating a part of the explorers at each level is not only within the tolerance of the major powers, but also has to continue to explore because of the sunk cost. The benefits of each layer inspire greed, allowing explorers to unconsciously descend from floor to floor, following the guidance of the god of death.

At this moment, in every loop of the fifth layer of this dead ruin, there is an explorer looking for a way out. Some people are making marks and trying here, some are running blindly like headless flies, some are meditating on the spot, and some are like Dakko who have found the pattern and are quickly approaching the center of the formation.

The inscriptionists discovered the secrets of this layer in turn, and the others couldn't understand the layout of the labyrinth at all, and it was useless to break their heads. Of course, some people are not inscriptionists, but they are involved in a variety of auxiliary professions and can guess the secrets. However, it is one thing to recognize the maze pattern, and quite another to be able to clearly understand the structure of each circuit. Explorers who are not inscription masters, even if they accidentally recognize this as an escape teleportation array, cannot remember the transcription method of the inscription circuit, and it is still useless.

Kevin is one such case, he stands on the shoulders of a giant alchemy golem, and it is easier to control the overall situation from a high position. After walking for more than half an hour, he also saw some clues, and he muttered to himself at this time, "It seems to be the structure of some kind of escape teleportation scroll, but fortunately, I read it a few times when Darko copied it, otherwise I really wouldn't recognize it." ”

Kevin was proud of his ingenuity, but he was about to make another mistake.

"But this array is too complicated, I can recognize it and I don't know how to go......" Kevin looked down and thought for a while with a sad face, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he slapped his forehead and shouted, "It's stupid, I have this kind of scroll, just tear it open and see!"

Kevin directly took out the escape teleportation scroll, tore it open, and verified his idea in a flash, "Haha, sure enough, this formation diagram, go to the left at the next intersection!"

Just when Kevin was excited, he felt a wave of spatial fluctuations surround him, and the next moment he had already launched the escape teleportation, and he disappeared before he could speak. Only the giant alchemy puppet remained, still standing in place.
