Chapter 278: The Road Meets the Owl Bear
The one who cracked this trap was Cheng Jiahui, who used his witchcraft to cultivate a small worm that was very sensitive to several poisons in the labyrinth, and would make a "chirp" alarm once it sensed it.
For most of the month, they all spent on traps, and Yang Hao admired them for their wonderful idea of cracking the trap, and had to admit that they had paid a huge price for attacking the Giant's Cave, and the pressure was great.
"Without further ado, let's try the maze first." Yang Hao proposed, it is better to see than to hear, no matter how much you say, no matter how well you prepare, you still have to try to count.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go in with you." Cheng Jiahui and Tang Zijin gathered people together, but although they were very confident in Yang Hao, they didn't think that he could solve the maze at one time, so they didn't think about themselves when arranging people, and it was uncomfortable to die once.
In the end, the three parties formed a team of 15 people, Yang Hao three, and the other two parties each had six people.
The strange thing is that Xu Zhengqing actually took the initiative to join, this team that most people think is going to die.
Yang Hao glanced at her more, didn't say much, and stepped into the Giant's Cave.
A burst of white mist immediately enveloped Yang Hao, and three seconds later, the mist dissipated, and he had come to a place in the labyrinth.
The walls of the labyrinth are made entirely of tiny yellow branches, impermeable to the wind.
The passage was very narrow, more than two meters wide, and the top of Yang Hao's head almost touched the curved top.
The enclosed labyrinth is very bright, but there is no obvious light source to be seen.
Yang Hao teased the caterpillar-like insect on his shoulder, and when he saw that it was not unusual, he took a few steps back, drew his sword and slashed at the wall of the dead branches.
The branches are flying around, these dead branches are surprisingly tough, and the decapitating sword can only cut through one layer, and this is useless, the dead branches are quickly reborn and reborn, and the color gradually deepens, and the tenacity is higher.
Yang Hao completely extinguished his other thoughts and moved forward along the passage.
Every few tens of seconds, there will be whispers in my ears, a bit like the sound of the wind, I can't hear the source, as if it was everywhere.
However, Yang Hao didn't feel anything unusual, and wondered in his heart: Hey, didn't Old Tang say that he would be upset and difficult to think?
He was ignoring that he had a special physique and had good mental resistance to all Cthulhu gods.
More than twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye, during which Yang Hao broke five or six traps and encountered countless forks in the road.
These forks are almost identical in appearance, and Yang Hao can't see any difference, so he chooses the leftmost fork every time.
As time passed, the mysterious whispers began to affect him, and while it only upset him a little, it immediately aroused his vigilance.
This labyrinth is indeed evil, and it is not right from a spatial point of view. The Horseshoe Mountain, where the Giant's Cave is located, is just a small hill, and the space in the belly of the mountain cannot be so large.
Yang Hao guessed: They were either teleported elsewhere, or they were in a place affected by spatial witchcraft.
At this time, Yang Hao heard the movement of a fight not far away, and immediately quickened his pace, passed a fork in the road, and came to a small room.
The two sides of the fight are Xu Zhengqing and a mixture of fur and feathers, a strange half-bear, half-owl monster - the owl bear.
The origin of the owl is a controversial topic for the world's monster scholars.
The vast majority agree that in the distant past, a mad wizard created the earliest specimens by crossing owls and bears—perhaps to justify some crazy idea about the nature of life, or simply madness.
Whatever the purpose of creating such freaks as owls, they have thrived and inhabited the forests of the world, creating large populations that become predators at the top of the biological chain in the local ecosystem.
Owls are notorious bloodthirsty killers, known for their short temper, wild, and aggressiveness.
They usually attack actively, tearing apart any living creatures they come across. Many scholars who have encountered the creature in the wild have found that their blood-red eyes are constantly rolling as they approach an attack.
This is sometimes considered a sign of madness, indicating that all owls have an innate thirst for fight and killing.
But more sober researchers believe that this is nothing more than the natural construction of the giant's pair of sharp eyes.
Owl bears usually live in remote wild places, placing their nests in deep forests or in dark shallow holes. Depending on the composition of the prey around the nest, they can hunt easily day and night.
Adult owls appear in pairs and leave their cubs in their dens. Usually there are 1~3 cubs in a litter of owl bears, and each one can be sold for 30 gold in the market.
Although they are considered incapable of being domesticated due to their violent nature, they can still act as guards, as long as they are kept in a certain area and allowed to hunt freely.
Adult male owls stand upright, are 260 cm tall and weigh 500 kg.
The small interior has a high roof, and the monster is barely able to move if it is outside.
Xu Zhengqing was at a disadvantage in the fight, the small indoor space was small, there was not too much space for her to dodge the owl's attack, and the owl just blocked the exit, so she couldn't even run.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Yang Hao immediately came to the rescue and stabbed the door of life on the owl's ass with a sword.
"Phew!" The owl screamed, and when he turned around, he was going to use the huge bear paw to teach Yang Hao a lesson, but Yang Hao had already retracted into the channel, and this palm could only return in vain.
Seeing that there were strong reinforcements, Xu Zhengqing's morale was greatly shaken, and he brandished a square nail hammer and attacked with all his might, and the target was the injured buttocks of the owl.
The owl bear was completely annoyed, and his eyes, which were originally red, now seemed to be dripping blood.
It recognized that Yang Hao was the culprit of the disaster on his buttocks, and the bear claws kept slapping the dead branches, and under the fierce force, the entrance was hollowed out by it.
Subsequently, desperately burrowed into the passage to kill Yang Hao.
But it forgot that the dead branches would be reborn and become stronger, and suddenly the left shoulder and upper arm of the owl were stuck in the wall, unable to move.
Yang Hao was also very surprised by this, but he had the opportunity to beat the water dog, so he naturally couldn't let it go.
The two of them quickly killed the careless owl bear.
After meeting Xu Zhengqing, Yang Hao found that her eyes were red and her breathing was short, which was obviously not a change caused by physical overdraft, and she couldn't hold on anymore.
"Ahem... Yang Hao, talk to me, keep talking to me, and suppress the voice in my head! ”
Xu Zhengqing shouted like crazy, her appearance looked very painful, and her facial features were a little distorted.
"Strange marks everywhere, ah, marks everywhere!"
Yang Hao looked around, how could there be any marks, except for dead branches, dead branches are dead branches.
Wait, his heart suddenly moved, and said, "Calm down, where is the imprint?" Point it out for me, if you don't want to die, hurry up! ”
