187. The third floor of the underground secret room

Before setting off, Fu Bin casually said that 'the central area may not be without traps'. However, what everyone encountered was not a trap, but an ambushed demonic beast.

Shortly after finding the entrance to the central area of the labyrinth and entering the exploration, they faintly heard the occasional roar through the wall. Obviously, the builders of the labyrinth have placed some magical beasts in the center of the labyrinth to hinder and eliminate people who enter the labyrinth. However, in this way, it also proves the speculation that the exit of the labyrinth is in the central area. Because only when outsiders find the right route will they be blocked.

I don't know what other mysteries there are in this labyrinth, but when everyone is in the outer labyrinth, they can't hear the roar of the demonic beast at all. Moreover, the inner and outer labyrinth can be said to be only separated by a wall, and I don't know why these magical beasts will not walk from the central maze to the outer maze. However, the current crowd is in a hurry to get out of this labyrinth, and they don't care to delve into these small questions.

After solving four or five demonic beasts blocking the way along the way, everyone got closer and closer to the center of the maze. Seeing that a way out was in sight, the traversers who were in a hurry were careless for a while, and they were caught off guard when they encountered an ambush attack again at a corner. If it weren't for Chen Zhanying and Liu Tianyu, who were at the forefront, who blocked the first rush of the ironclad rhino in time, Yang Qianyu made a timely move to block the other party. The team, which didn't have time to adjust its formation, had to let the ironclad rhino inflict heavy losses.

"Look at the sword!"

The long sword in Shi Jinxin's hand stabbed into the body of the iron-armored rhinoceros. But with only a depth of about a dozen centimeters, the tip of the sword could not penetrate. Shi Jinxin immediately withdrew his sword and flew back after realizing that the sword thorn was difficult to penetrate, while the ironclad rhinoceros turned his head and roared and rushed towards Shi Jinxin.

"Roar!!" The ironclad rhinoceros roared and rampaged. While Shi Jinxin's body retreated, Li Xiang blocked it sideways. I saw him shout, and after the 'Holy Shield' was opened, a golden shield formed around his body. Immediately afterwards, the body of the iron-armored rhinoceros rushing forward collided with Li Xiang, who was shrouded in a golden shield.

"Peng!" Li Xiang, who was shrouded in a shield, was knocked away, flying upside down and slamming into the wall.

And the ironclad rhinoceros that collided with Li Xiang fiercely was also shocked by the anti-shock force of the impact, and stopped in place in a daze.

The Holy Shield is truly an absolute defense. If it is replaced by the 'Fighting Qi Shield' of a martial arts-type high-level warrior, even if a high-level powerhouse resists the onslaught of the iron-armored rhino, he will not be able to bear it. And Li Xiang was only knocked into the air on his feet, but the protective shield showed no signs of collapse.

"Now!" Seeing this, Liu Tianyu shouted, rushed up with a big sword in his hand, and slashed with his sword. And behind him, Luo Xu also cast the spell 'Elven Fire' that he had already prepared in his hand (negative skill, current level Lv2, weakening the target's defense by 30%, and observing it with the help of the target's vision for a period of time).

For enemies with strong defenses, Luo Xu's 'Elven Fire' is an absolute nemesis. Luo Xu, who had been too hasty to meet the enemy and failed to cast the spell in time, finally saw the opportunity to attack at this time, and immediately abolished the three-percent defense of the ironclad rhino.

The defense is weakened, and the effect of the attack is immediate. Liu Tianyu's big sword pierced one side of the blade of the iron-armored rhinoceros, and blood shot out.

"Today's dinner is roast beef!" Zhao Bin shouted, and with a windmill-like swing, two big axes slammed into the shoulder blade on the other side of the ironclad rhinoceros, unloading a bull leg alive.

"Hey! Do you dare to eat medicated beef? "Xu Wenjie was not to be outdone, and the spear pierced one of the eye sockets of the iron-armored rhinoceros." If you get poisoned, we won't be able to save you. ”

"Just talk, don't take it seriously." Zhao Bin, who was spit out by his companions, responded stupidly, and he was just ruthless when he said that before. Look at the bulging blood vessels on the epidermis of this iron-armored rhinoceros, which is almost the same as the body characteristics of those armored warriors on the first layer. As long as you are not an idiot, you can tell that you have taken the same secret medicine. No matter how cold Zhao Bin eats, he will not eat animals that have obviously been drugged. Playing with life is playing with life, and no one wants to do something that deliberately kills.

After the armor was weakened, the ironclad rhinoceros also lost its strongest protection, and fell to the ground with a wail and died under the joint attack of everyone. The crowd rested for a moment after the battle, and then marched forward again. It's just that everyone has a long memory after suffering another loss, and even if the end is in sight, they are not careless at all.

After another ten minutes, everyone finally arrived at the center of the maze. In front of everyone's eyes is a circular open space with a radius of about three meters, and in the center of the open space stands a cylindrical steel pipe with the thickness of an arm, the top of which is connected to the ceiling of the labyrinth, and the bottom extends into a hole about one meter in diameter.

Everyone looked at each other.

Less.

"This should be the exit of the labyrinth, right?" Shi Jinxin pointed to the void and asked his companions.

“…… It should be. Fu Bin looked at the hole in the venue, and then looked at the map in his hand. We've explored all the labyrinths, and this hole is the only one that connects to the rest of the world, except for the entrance. ”

In other words, there is a third floor in this underground chamber. And if we want to reach the third floor, we will have to slide down the steel pipe from here? Chen Zhanying asked in disbelief: "The exit designed by the designer of this labyrinth is really enough...... Unique. ”

"Are we really going to slide down the tube?" Shi Jinxin confirmed again.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Li Xiang shrugged. "It seems that this steel pipe is designed to allow people to go down to the third floor, otherwise what else can it be used for? Dancing? ”

"Boss...... Please respect yourself......" Yang Qianyu had a serious expression on his face, and at the same time persuaded in a very sincere tone.

"It's over, after you mentioned it, I've already started to make up some pictures in my head." Fu Bin also said with a wry smile. "It feels like it sucks......"

"I really don't know what you've been thinking about all day...... Sun Xiaoyu, who was angry and ashamed, couldn't help but raise her hand and knocked Li Xiang hard.

While speaking, everyone had come to the round mouth, and when the probe looked around, it was clear that the cylindrical passage extending downward should have no light source, and the hole was pitch black. By the light of the labyrinth's walls, they could see that on each side of the circular wall of the passage there were small pits that extended downward, just the right size for hands and feet. Obviously, this passage is a two-way path that allows people to slide down and climb up as well.

Although it felt that this was the only way to move forward, the group still had the attitude of giving it a try, and walked through the central area of the entire labyrinth again, and after confirming that there was no other path, everyone returned to the steel pipe.

"Let's explore the way first." Yang Qianyu took out a torch from the storage space and lit it, and then threw it down the hole. The torch fell for about a few seconds before it went out with a 'poof', and the sound of an item hitting the ground was heard down the passage. It's just that maybe it's because of the material of the cave wall, and the sound of the landing feels a little weird to everyone.

"It doesn't look like this passage is too deep, so I'll go down and have a look first." Shi Jinxin took the initiative to ask: "If there is no problem underneath, I will light the torch and send a signal." ”

"Okay." Li Xiang nodded and agreed: "The safety signal is based on 'one circle clockwise, two times counterclockwise', be careful." ”

"Don't worry." Shi Jinxin nodded in response, took a deep breath, jumped forward and grabbed the steel pipe, pinned his legs to the pipe at the same time, and the whole person slid down.

Ten seconds later, a sound came back from the hole. Everyone watched with bated breath, only to see that a moment later, a flame appeared at the bottom of the cave, and then began to circle back and forth.

One turn clockwise and two turns counterclockwise.

"Alright, let's go down." After seeing Shi Jinxin send a 'safe' signal, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately after that, everyone lined up in order and slid down with the help of the steel pipe.

A few minutes later, Han Shan, who was finally the queen of the palace, also fell to the bottom of the cave, and immediately saw her let out an exclamation.

"Hello?! How so?! Why is there a waterhole at the bottom of the cave?! ”

I saw that the foothold of the third layer of the underground secret room was actually a waterhole with a radius of about 20 meters and a depth of waist.

At this time, all the people who crossed were immersed in this pool, and they all looked at each other with a look of looking left and right.
