Chapter 62: Asterius
"Is it a little game of life and death? I'm more than willing to accompany you. Xia Bai was also very impatient with the behavior of this sword duke, so he replied in a cold tone.
"Don't get me wrong." The Grand Duke of Xindun spoke again to ease the situation: "That is, to understand each other's strength, Your Excellency Xia Bai, don't think too much, let's get to the point between us, don't we have a tacit understanding when we get to know each other and cooperate when the time comes?" ”
Xia Bai learned the usual action of Heizhen rhythmically tapping the armrest with her index finger and pondered for a while, before raising his head and saying, "Then you guys will talk about it first, how do you want to compare?" ”
"Why don't we change to a more spacious place first" The Grand Duke of Heart Shield took the lead in standing up from his chair and looked at Xia Bai, Xia Bai nodded lightly in agreement, and then everyone walked out of the palace together and took the black dragon to the outer city of the Dragon City, that is, a clearing between the two city walls.
Seeing that everyone was standing firmly, Xia Bai spoke again: "You can say it this time, since you must have planned it before you came, just say it, let me see what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?" ”
The Grand Duke of Sharp Sword beckoned lightly behind him, and two sturdy men in cloaks slowly stepped forward. Then the Grand Duke of Sharp Sword looked at Xia Bai and said, "Since you are so humble to me, you're welcome, these two are the strongest killers under my command, Yan and Miao." ”
With the words of the Grand Duke of Sharp Sword, the two took off their tightly covered cloaks, and two identical faces appeared in front of Xia Bai's face. "I don't know if this first game is for you to test the strength of the two of them."
"How do you compare?" Xia Bai looked at the two identical Lian and said. The corners of the Grand Duke of Sharp Sword's mouth hooked up a smile: "Just bet on whether the two of them can get close to Your Excellency Xia Bai within a radius of one meter?" ”
Xia Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the confident Grand Duke of Sharp Sword and said, "Okay, then let's start." As soon as Xia Bai's words fell, the two of them instantly accelerated like swords and rushed towards Xia Bai, and the distance between them was more than half in the blink of an eye.
The first to intercept the attack was the farthest from Arash, and the path that the two of them wanted to advance was completely blocked, but the two of them turned into a figure and struggled to shuttle in the rain of arrows.
Although the vigorous figure was struggling in the brilliant light and rain, it was still moving forward slowly, but the next moment the bewitching red spear galloped towards him, and Dilumudo pounced straight over with the red rose that broke the demon in his hand.
In the face of Dilumudo, who was rushing at high speed, two pitch-black scimitars appeared silently on the opponent's hands and tried to deflect the spear in Dilumudo's hand, but Dilumudo's gun was still too fast, and the spear passed through the flaw between the opponent's two scimitars and slammed it on the opponent's chest.
At the same time that Dilumudo repelled the other party, Bai Maung and Hei Zhen, who had been standing beside Xia Bai, moved at the same time, Hei Zhen's flag gun swept out in one direction with a terrifying black aura, and Bai Maung stretched out his hand to Xia Bai to try to pull him away.
was pulled by the hurried Bai Maung, Xia Bai stood firm and looked behind him and saw a figure standing where he was standing, Hei Zhen's riding spear was staying in front of the other party's throat, and at this moment, Xia Bai was no more than half a meter away from the other party.
After Xia Bai shook his head at Heizhen, Heizhen withdrew the flag gun, and the two men also walked back into each other's camp, this game was obviously won by the other party, I don't know if the two used combat skills or magic, in short, Xia Bai They didn't feel how this person came over at all.
Grand Duke Xindun smiled and said: "I won a game by luck, how about you solve the problem for this second body, Your Excellency Xia Bai?" Xia Bai pursed his lips lightly and said, "Asterius, you can play this game." ”
Xia Bai sent out a new helper who had just been summoned recently, the mad calf Asterius. Xia Bai looked at the two great fairs and said quietly: "After a while, Asterius will summon a labyrinth, as long as you get out of the labyrinth, you will win." ”
The Grand Duke of Heart Shield sent a tall swordsman to stand in the middle of the field with a giant sword on his back. "Start, be careful." After stammering this reminder, the calf slashed his giant axe to the ground.
After a "squeak" of the earth, countless walls of rock rose from the ground, and a labyrinth covering a radius of hundreds of meters formed in the blink of an eye, and the swordsman was surrounded by the rising earthen wall in the middle.
When the earthen wall stabilized, the swordsman began to look for a way out, and after a few laps along the road, the swordsman found himself back to where he started, and the unbelieving swordsman circled around again and still returned to the original point.
Then the swordsman decisively gave up the idea of using normal methods to solve the maze, and began to seek various shortcuts, first using the sword to destroy the earthen wall around him, and after discovering that the earthen wall can break the ring, the swordsman broke the wall all the way forward.
However, the result was the same, and the swordsman began to try to break the maze using various other methods, such as making markers, and climbing the earthen wall to see the path ahead, but he would still return to the starting point anyway.
Xia Bai was sitting on the back of the black dragon overlooking the scene in the sky, and he could clearly see that the swordsman had never even walked a third of the distance when he had exhausted his moves, which was the horror of the eternal labyrinth of Asterius' treasure.
After summoning Asterios a few days ago, Xia Bai and the others collectively experienced the power of this labyrinth, and after everyone entered the labyrinth collectively, they couldn't get out of it by any means, and every time it was time to eat, they were taken out by Asterius one by one.
It is not so much a labyrinth as a huge magic circle, and those trapped in the labyrinth are completely bewildered by the energy generated by the labyrinth, in sight, hearing, smell, and even touch.
You think you're moving forward, but you're just going in circles. You think you're facing a wall, but it's actually the right way to the outside world, but you can't feel it at all, whether you see, hear, or even touch it.
After another half a while, the helpless Grand Duke of Sharp Sword admitted defeat so that Xia Bai could solve the maze. After the swordsman got out of trouble, he found himself almost standing still, and walked back behind the Grand Duke of the Sharp Sword in shame, but instead of being angry, the other party looked at Asterius with admiration.
