Chapter 95: Rules are dead, people are alive
Bran bluntly admonished: "Even if we play, it's okay." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
Then Leonard raised his head and put his hands to his lips and shouted, "How, Hanks! Call!--"Bang! bang... There was a loud noise. I saw that Howl slashed through the walls of the labyrinth with the shattered axle in his hand, and Hanks slammed directly into the wall with his body, and ran from the labyrinth passages on the left and right sides to the passage where the Great Swordsman and Bran were.
Seeing this, Leonard flicked the wall next to him with the middle finger of his left hand, and slapped the wall with his palm a few times, but no trace was visible, and he couldn't help but continue to curse: "What kind of reputation is this wall paralyzed?" Then, his angry right leg kicked against the wall. There was a crack in the wall (though not where he kicked it). Then the Great Swordsman deliberately waited for a while. After three seconds, the crack disappeared from the wall of its own accord.
Seeing this, Leonard kicked the wall of the maze three times in succession. The wall shattered in response to the area he had kicked in. Then, the Great Swordsman stood very arrogantly in the position of the broken wall, thinking, "I want to see how you recover!"
As a result, three seconds later, when the broken wall was restored, it squeezed him into the passage next to it. Then, Leonard was reluctant to repeat his old trick... As a result, he was squeezed back by the restored wall. Seeing this, Howl and Bran both began to learn from the Great Swordsman and start experiments. The fact that the three of them were squeezed open by the restored labyrinth wall more than a dozen times proved that standing on a broken maze wall, the chance of being squeezed to both sides during the restoration accounted for 50% each.
Hanks, who was watching coldly, couldn't help but pop a word out of his mouth: "boring." โ
Leonard, who was also bored, beckoned to his teammates: "Go back." So, the four of them rushed to the center of the maze again. Halfway back, I saw a single bedroom-sized recessed corner on the labyrinth wall to the right of the greatsword. In the corner of this place is also an altar made of gray and white marble, large enough to stand on it, and has no feet and no lid in the shape of an incense burner. Above the altar suddenly appeared a guardian with a turquoise crystal on its forehead.
Leonard, who happened to be passing by the altar, couldn't help but curse: "Lying rough!!" I saw a reflexive sword in his right hand, and it slashed at the guardian who suddenly appeared. The Guardian instantly turned into sand, leaving behind a turquoise crystal.
Leonard then discovered that there was such an altar in the passage of the labyrinth: "Am I not mistaken?" He and Tina were only on their way when they came, and they didn't even notice the existence of this thing.
Bran, who was accustomed to careful observation, replied: "You read that right. The passage where I came also has such an altar. The Guardian did indeed emerge from the altar out of nowhere. โ
Leonard, Bran, Hanks, and Howl then make their way to the open space in the center of the labyrinth and join Tina, Crotty, and Lee. In total, they had already gotten seven turquoise crystals, plus two used by the female mage and the middle-aged uncle. In total, the group has dealt with nine Guardians.
Leonard finally held back and didn't swear anymore: "That's not right, isn't it?"
At this time, he stretched out his arm again, pointing directly to a nearby labyrinth passage and reminded, "Look! Two more appearedโ"
Hanks reminded Tina with unusually certainty: "Your Highness, there are definitely more than seven guardians. We must have been tricked. It's only three minutes away from the end. โ
Tina, however, was very calm at the moment: "The elder didn't come in at all. No one else was found in the labyrinth. Even if it is playing us, it is the rules that are playing us. Since it is a rule, there must be a way to break it. โ
Seeing that there were only three minutes left, he raised the broken ground in his hand and slashed towards the big treasure chest in the center of the maze: "It doesn't matter if it plays or not." Rules are dead, people are alive. Wouldn't it be okay to cut this box open?"
As a result, as soon as the howling axe touched the large treasure chest, a voice prompt came out from the location of the treasure chest: "Deliberate sabotage! Disqualify the saboteur from this trial and teleport to the outside of the field." I saw that the orc warrior disappeared in the labyrinth in an instant, and was suddenly teleported to an entrance to the labyrinth. When he tried to enter the labyrinth again, he found that he was blocked by the transparent barrier and could no longer enter.
Then half an hour was there. Leonard and the six of them were instantly teleported to the six entrances of the labyrinth, and the emerald crystals in their hands and pockets were all gone. Thundered... With another tremor of the ground, there was a muffled roar. The entire labyrinth sank into the ground with a sound and vanished without a trace.
The voice prompt came again: "This trial is over." Candidates were not able to obtain the Holy Prayer Crystal. โ
Crotty felt that the trial was a bit difficult and confusing, so he asked Strong, "Elder, can you give us some hints?"
Strong stroked his gray beard and replied, "There are thirty-six trials of the Holy Prayer Crystal, and each year is different. This year, even the old decay doesn't know how to pass. The only way to pass is not to give up, to be observant, and to try a few more times. At least that's how the predecessors passed. โ
Tina also came forward and asked, "So how many times did the person who passed the fastest try?"
Strong replied, "It took three years for the fastest person to pass and a total of nine attempts." You know, we elves have a long lifespan. When the companions heard this, some of their faces turned green.
Rosie felt that such a long time was simply unimaginable: "My God, three years. By that time, the island of Salk..."
Seeing this, Strong encouraged the group: "There are so many of you who participate in the trial together, help each other, brainstorm ideas, and you should be able to pass it quickly." It is said that similar trials, the five great Heroic Spirits only need to try three times at most to pass it. โ
Leonard stepped forward and patted Rossi on the shoulder: "Yes." With all of us, there's nothing that can't be done. Haven't we all been here this way?"
Strong crutches asked, "Do you want to continue the trial today?"
Leonard cautiously refused: "No need. Reiter is injured and is in dire need of rest. We're going to go back and wrap it up. Strong thought to himself: this kid looks like a fool on the surface, but in fact he is a powerful character. So the group followed the elder back to his lodgings. After returning, all the other companions except Strong, Shera, Sister Yan, Kay and Rett returned to the village inn to stay at the hotel. Skywalker was injured, so he moved into the empty room of the Elder's house, and the elders were responsible for their treatment.
Skywalker replaces Wingman to refer to Rayt.
That night, Leonard summoned Crotty, Tina, Hanks, Bran, Howl, Rossi, and Li Ming to his guest room and concluded, "First of all, the introduction of the Labyrinth says that there are seven Labyrinth Guardians in total. But we saw far more than seven. Secondly, it is also said that only one forehead is inlaid with red crystal, and the rest are useless turquoise crystals. But Bran and I found out that the color of the crystals on the Guardian's head changes, so we can't be sure if only one Guardian has a red crystal on the head.
The duration of each trial is half an hour, which is accurate. There are only three attempts per year. We've used it up once. In addition to this, the Guardian can easily pass through the walls of the labyrinth.
The walls of the labyrinth will shatter when attacked three times in a row by a certain amount of external force, and will be restored after three seconds. There is more than one place in the labyrinth where there is an altar that can stand up to a person. Bran and I also noticed a Guardian suddenly appearing on the altar..."The group analyzed the above situation, but ultimately came to no conclusion.
The next day, Leonard took the initiative to come to Strong's residence and asked the elders: "Elder, please schedule the trial for this evening, after the sun goes down." โ
Strong agreed: "There's no problem with that. Leonard then walked into Raytt's room and talked to Skywalker for a while. In the evening of the same day, the group, led by the elders, carried bamboo lanterns lit with candles inside, and came to the open area in the forest again. Sister Yan and Kai also did not show up.
Tina saw the orange light flashing on the tails of the fireflies above the forest, like a group of pocket lanterns flying all over the sky, drawing a series of dim tracks; the vast and deep Milky Way composed of countless stars, reflecting a round of white crescent moon, like shining and blurry eyes pouring out poetic heartfelt hearts; and feeling the breeze blowing, the air was exceptionally refreshing and soft, and she couldn't help but express her feelings: "The night sky is really beautiful." โ
Sheila chimed in: "Our island of Yarebis is such a beautiful place. โ
Strong raised the cane in his hand, emitting a blazing white light, like a bright light in the night: "The second trial of the Holy Prayer Crystal has officially begun. "Boom... With a tremor of the ground, there was a muffled roar. The previous maze of gray and white marble slowly rose to the ground again.
Seeing this, Leonard extinguished the lantern in his hand and told Leiter, who was standing beside him, "Leiter, it's up to you this time." โ
Dressed in the Xuankong Battle Armor and with a bandage on his right wrist, Lei Tet held the Rune Spear with his left hand, and flew into the sky with his wings and replied, "No problem." Then he continued to flap his wings and flew directly above the maze and began to hover in place.
Leonard raised the broadblade sword with his right arm, slashed in the air, reflecting a bright white cold light, and took the lead in striding towards the labyrinth: "Okay, everyone is ready to enter." โ
