There was a whistle ahead, and there was a burst of explosions, and Tonyo was making a cameo mage, throwing a flaming sword to cover Jerry's retreat.

When the scouts converge with the vanguards, they begin to retreat back to join the larger forces.

"We had bad luck. Charles's animal trainer named Xia Zuo, who was with them, sighed, "I didn't expect to run into the Spider Parade." ”

"What's that?" Charles asked, pulling his weapon out of the storage ring.

Elizabeth had ordered the combatants to line up and prepare to fend off the attack of the beast.

At this time, Charles's role was revealed, he took out a few bundles of spears and a bunch of huge shields from the storage ring, and the sword and shield soldiers in the array suddenly turned into pikemen.

Xia Zuo asked his blade-toothed tiger to guard the rear, and said, "Those spiders in the maze have a special place to lay eggs, and every certain time, these spiders that are usually scattered everywhere will go to that place to lay eggs together. ”

Soon, Elizabeth gave the order to retreat thirty meters.

It's still a hassle to destroy these spiders in a narrow passage without collapsing them, and it's not worth it right now to fight these spiders who are about to catch up with Charles.

The labyrinth was full of passages, and they just had to back off to a fork in the road to make way.

Elizabeth sent Artoria to lead Penelope and Galatea to the rear to secure the retreat, and then the whole team steadily retreated while bombarding the movement of the retarded spider swarm with magic.

Charles was suddenly picked up by Xia Zuo and placed on the back of the Bladetooth Tiger.

"If something unexpected happens, you run out with him on your back, and leave me alone. Xia Zuo touched his pet's head and said to it.

The Bladetooth roared twice, then walked backwards with the others.

The accident that Xia Zuo feared did not happen, and when the team retreated to the fork in the road to reorganize the defense, first several huge spiders hit their heads on the defense line and broke the bleeding flow, and then the other spiders turned around and left from the side of the intersection.

Charles was sitting on the Bladetooth Tiger at this point, and he could finally see these surprisingly large spiders.

These spiders with dark red, dark green, and off-white shells are more than a meter tall and have a body the size of a dining table.

On their backs, there are "packages" wrapped in white spider silk, many of which are still squirming slightly.

Dozens of these spiders turned in front of the line and walked towards the fork in the road, just like the passengers in the train station who came out of the exit with large bags and small bags.

It is not difficult to deal with a single spider, as long as you are vigilant at all times and do not jump from the top of the passage to sneak attack, the average three-person adventurer team can deal with one or two.

But when they advance in groups, they can become a force that sweeps through the passages.

After a long time, these spiders who returned to their hometown with large bags and small bags to give birth to babies all passed through the procession.

At this time, Charles noticed that Halcara was frowning, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"This spider's venom is not easy to deal with. Halkala went to Elizabeth to report the matter, and according to her, the venom of these spiders can quickly put people into a deep coma, beware of the cultists who use it to coat their weapons.

After this period of time, there are a lot fewer demonic beasts left. Because along the way, the migration path is the same as that of the spiders just now, and the demonic beasts on the road either escaped or the spiders were packed and taken away.

After a long time and a few more turns, other magical beasts finally appeared.

Several flame lizards more than a meter long were easily cleaned up by Jerry, and the unknown canine monster lurking in the fork next to the passage was bitten to death by two wolves that hit the outpost, and then the two wolves dragged out the tattered corpse of the monster together.

During this time, the blade-toothed tiger carrying Charles roared a few times, then Xia Zuo stood there and listened intently for a while, and the next moment, a throwing knife entwined with lightning was thrown by him.

"It's just a snake following us. He said unconcernedly.

Artoria and Junia gave him a thumbs up.

The road in the maze is not easy to walk, constantly rising and falling, bending left and right, and there are some low-lying places with standing water that can reach the knees. In some places, there are even deep quagmires, and only demonic beasts such as slimes and snakes that have little pressure on the ground can pass through them.

The maze of games and comics where the floor looks clean doesn't exist. Don't forget, the monsters defecate in the open.

That's where Horatio comes in, and whenever he encounters these impassable places, he uses ice magic or magic such as turning mud into stone to solidify the ground.

By the way, some of the sneak attackers lurking in the sludge were also finished.

Follow a group of tubas to walk around the novice village, which is easy and enjoyable.

In the underground labyrinth, without sunrise and sunset, it is difficult for people to make an accurate judgment on the passage of time.

Fortunately, Artoria has a mechanical watch in her hand, God knows which traverser brought it and was seized by the demons, and finally fell into her hand as a prize for the advanced worker of the year, and it can still be used after hundreds of years after being strengthened with magic, so that everyone knows what time it is.

Charles saw that the time displayed on this Casio watch was just over five o'clock. It's just that there is a slight difference in the daily length of the two worlds, and Artoria adjusted it to twelve o'clock when she entered the labyrinth, so it can only be known that they have now advanced more than five hours of earth time in the labyrinth.

It is said that this place is very close to today's destination, and it will be about an hour's walk away.

Suddenly, there was a "buzzing" sound in front of the passage, and Jerry and Horatio fled back vigorously, and from time to time Donio threw a magic behind him and exploded a ball of flames.

"Fire magic ready!" Horatio shouted, "It's a swarm!"

I saw that under the light, palm-sized mosquitoes flew from front like dark clouds.

Under the command of Elizabeth ahead, a wall of fire blocked the entire passage. Then the wall of fire moved forward under the control of the mages, and the mosquitoes that had not had time to escape were scorched and crackled down, and the smell of the huge mosquitoes that had burned filled the passage.

At this time, Xia Zuo said to Artoria, "This smell will summon slimes, we need to be prepared." ”

Sure enough, his blade-toothed tiger quickly roared at the lack of light behind him.

But it wasn't a slime, it was a wolf-like beast with blood-red eyes.

"Kill it!" Natsuzo hurriedly shouted as he threw a dagger at it.

Charles immediately aimed the beam of light from the searchlight on his helmet at the jackal's eyes, and at the same time turned the brightness to the highest setting.

The jackal subconsciously dodged Xia Zuo's dagger, but was a little dizzy by the bright light.

Junia's free right hand swung forward, a fist of white light slamming into the jackal.

This time, when the jackal was about to jump away again to dodge, an invisible hand suddenly appeared in the air and grabbed its front legs, causing it to stop and not jump into the air.

With a "snap", the jackal was beaten into a cake by the white light fist.

"Nice mage's hand. Junia complimented Charles.

Charles smiled sheepishly, he often used the "Mage's Hand", a magic made purely of mental power, to exercise his mental power.

"It's the enemy's beast trainer. Xia Zuo said worriedly, "I think we have been discovered." ”

Then Elizabeth came over, and he explained to her, "The jackal and his animal trainer have figured it out, and I think the enemy has seen us." ”
