Chapter 31: The Labyrinth (Part II)
The two walked side by side in the seemingly endless corridor, Mu Yan placed his palm on the wall, paused occasionally, waited for a moment, and a flame burst out, as if nothing was there.
The ochre-brown walls shook like water for a moment, disappearing as if they had been evaporated, revealing a two-meter-square gap, which the two men immediately dodged into, and after about five minutes, the gap automatically returned to its original state.
"You said you would walk back when you go to the end of that road, right?" Mu Yan asked with a smile. Not long ago, he learned that the enemy who was scared away by his "frozen earth" turned out to be Amath.
The silver-haired swordsman nodded stiffly, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get out of this place without a mage to lead the way, he wouldn't be willing to cooperate with the shameless humans.
"Then how did you find out that there was a secret door in the wall?" Mu Yan asked again.
After the two temporarily teamed up, the other party told himself that this should be the outermost layer of a circular passage, according to the direction of the road bending, the center of the circle was on the left hand side of the direction he left at first, and it was true, Mu Yan had found two water curtain secret doors embedded in the wall in a row, and after using the "burning hand" to temporarily dry the water element, the water curtain would be lifted.
"Voice."
Amacer knocked lightly on the wall, making a "thump" sound, tapping several times every time he walked forward.
After listening to it several times in a row, Mu Yan didn't notice any difference in the voice.
Seeing this, the elf explained in a rather relaxed tone, and it was not difficult to hear the pleasure that Mu Yan brought to him.
"The walls are filled with a lot of water elements, and the closer you get to the secret door, the lower the content is, and the sound sounds more crisp."
"Then why do you have to be a spellcaster to disarm the secret door?"
With that, the two stopped in front of a secret door, and Amachew stopped him from lifting it.
"Five meters back."
Although Mu Yan didn't know why, he did it.
Amacer quickly slashed out two swords, and the silver sword qi sank into the wall, like a stone sinking into the sea. Immediately after that, he stabbed out a few more swords, but they were blocked one by one by the sword light that popped out of the wall.
"What if you adjust the strength twice so that the first time you can't beat the second?" Mu Yan asked again.
Amatho chuckled, apparently having thought something similar to him.
This time, he deliberately treated the two waves of attacks differently, the first time he only swung one sword, and the second time the sword light was like a storm.
So Mu Yan saw a ridiculous scene, when his second wave of offensive came, except for the first sword being resisted by the previous one, every two swords in the back canceled each other, and this small secret door seemed to be able to think and understand the reasonable analysis of the current situation.
"So I think it's supposed to be a trap for non-spellcasters."
"Not necessarily, let me try."
Mu Yan didn't say a word and threw an ice pick in.
Sure enough, the ice picks were also absorbed, no, it should be said that they were stored.
The second icicle followed, and with a "bang", the two icicles collided together and turned into powder.
"Look, magic isn't easy either."
With that, he pulled out his ebony and chanted "Ice Spike".
“Icey-Elorrhuca-Oasita”
At the end of the spell, the tip of the staff sent out a steady stream of frost shocks, hitting the secret door of the main body composed of water elementals, and soon the latter was frozen hard, and the ochre-brown walls around it were not affected in the slightest.
"Look, the power of science." He used his staff to tap lightly on the ice, and with a "bang", the latter shattered instantly.
Ammathur pouted, but didn't say anything.
After this episode, the two of them walked unhindered to the very center, where they saw an upward spiral staircase with a sign inserted next to it.
"Congratulations, fools, on coming to the very center of the labyrinth, where you will be faced with two choices. First: Crawl on the ground and become a slave of Piper-sama, maybe Piper-sama will let you out as soon as he is happy. Second ......"
Mu Yan didn't continue to read, he directly burned the brand.
"Hey, you-"
"The second is to go up and fight." He looked at Amath for a long time. "Don't the noble elves even have the courage to do so?"
Amacer snorted coldly and walked straight ahead, stepping on the stairs before him.
"Human, this is the repayment of coming here through your hand, and it has nothing to do with your clumsy agitation method."
"Well, it's good if you're happy."
"Hmph."
The elf drew his sword and stepped up the steps vigilantly.
Speaking of which, Mu Yan's choice has nothing to do with the words on the sign, he just substituted Gustavo's thinking mode - the patriarch can't read Samiga at all, and he knows his choice here with his feet, and he can even make up what he will say in this situation.
"Hey! Go up the stairs! "What kind of bird is this?" "Whatever, go up and talk about it."
It's nothing more than this routine, but I don't know where he is now.
------------------
The second floor of the maze is still a maze, but this time it has become a real maze, not a mosquito coil road, and there are more difficult enemies at the end of the wrong road.
Surya swung a sword vigorously, and the purple sword light instantly cut the quagmire in half, exposing the finger-sized demon core in the center of his body to the air.
"Keep your head down!"
There was a coquettish cry behind her, and almost at the same time, Surya lowered her body, her hands on the ground, and a streamer flashed above her head, hitting the quagmire's core with precision.
"Wow-"
Ichizana screamed like a vomit, and the quagmire's body turned into white light and dissipated, leaving a dark green jungle hat on the ground.
"Where's the corpse of the monster?" Surya asked in surprise as she picked up her hat. "You shot it with an arrow?"
"How is it possible, the monster is gone."
Tina shook her head, her gaze drifting involuntarily to the hat in the other's hand.
The dark green jungle hat, tied with a red ribbon, and a white feather of an unknown bird inserted into the edge, is small and chic, and beautifully made.
"You want?" Seeing this, Surya handed over the hat.
"I'm just curious how it came to be, hehe." Tina sneered, "The elves of the Night Whispering family never pursue such flashy things. ”
Surya glanced at her openwork quiver and the pattern on her leather armor.
"Xia Mu said that if your family heirloom quiver is not hollowed out, the defense will increase by a quarter, although the pattern on the leather armor is an enchanted pattern, but it has also taken a lot of detours for the sake of beauty, so ......"
"Shut up! What does that shameless human understand! ”
"Then you're wrong, he knows a lot." Surya smiled slyly, "If he doesn't understand anything, how could he get that scroll from you?" ”
"You ......," Tina said indignantly, and the words of rebuttal came to her lips, eventually turning into a cold snort that came out of her nose.
"Humph!"
"Okay, let's stop arguing, God knows how many layers this labyrinth has."
"We'll go our separate ways for the rest of the road, and I don't want to stay with you anymore." Tina said with a frown.
"That's not good, you forgot who was pitifully following me down just now, one by one......
"Enough!" Tina quickly interrupted her. "In return for this small help, I will stand by your side at this level, but once we run into that shameless human, the partnership will end immediately."
"Deal!" Surya was immediately relieved.
"Then, you'll continue to lead the way."
Hearing this, Tina glanced at her suspiciously.
"I've taken two wrong paths in a row, and you're still doing it?"
That's better than me leading the way, Surya thought, but she still maintained a polite smile on the surface.
"Shamu said that the Children of the Night will not get lost even in the dark, so I choose to believe you."
"Hmph."
Tina ignored her and gestured casually.
Surya, of course, understood what she meant, and walked over first.
Swordsmen and archers team up, as they should.
……
Perhaps because of Miya's favor, the two walked for five minutes without encountering any enemies, and what is even more amazing is that there is always a road in front of them, and there is no situation where they have strayed into a dead end.
Obviously, the two have not yet discovered the pattern that monsters only appear in dead ends.
Women never seem to be idle, something that is common both on Earth and in Lokan, and they always have to find something to distract them.
"How did you say this hat fell off? I was looking down and didn't see clearly. Sulia asked curiously, looking at the hat in her hand.
Tina forced herself to take her gaze off her pretty hat and didn't answer.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you, I'm not like Xia Mu, I can't guess what you're thinking." Surya pursed her lips and handed over the hat again.
“…… Don't you like the look? Tina hesitated, the other party said it so clearly, she really couldn't refuse.
"Of course I like it, but it goes better with Miss Tina's temperament." Surya smiled sweetly, in fact, that's what she thought in her heart.
Not really! This hat looks so good!! But Xia Mu said that it is very unlucky to choose green for hats! Ever since the incident with Anthony in Nighttown, he has called this color the color of forgiveness, and reminded me that I must try to avoid green when wearing hats, headbands, headwear, etc. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to give it to you!
"That'...... Thank you. Tina took the hat and flipped it around. After putting on her hat, she also took out a small mirror and looked up and down for a long time.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Surya took the opportunity to throw out the question she had been curious about for a long time.
"Miss Tina, I would like to ask, what is your relationship with Amather?"
