Chapter 13: The Maze of Boxes

True to its name, the Labyrinth of Boxes is a large labyrinth of chests, with a roof and floor made of masonry, and many stone pillars for weighing are built in the middle. In addition to the stone pillars, there are large and small chests all around. The number of boxes was so large that it was too numerous to count, stretching in all directions.

Most of these boxes are made of wood, and although they vary in size and size, they all have the same shape, and they are all standard square shapes.

Boxes of various sizes form a complex labyrinth, some of which are stacked all the way to the roof of the shed, while others are undulating and leave some way through. This dungeon, like the Dark Cavern, is infinitely large and has no boundaries at all.

The labyrinth had no windows or any natural light source, only oil lamps hanging from the ceiling. After all, the brightness of the oil lamps is limited, and the distance between the oil lamps and the oil lamps is large, which makes the maze appear hazy.

Zhao Zheng looked around, taking in the situation around him, then lowered his head and picked up a package, which was a copy supply.

In addition to the necessary water and medicine, the package also provided an additional pair of fist gloves. The gloves were made of black cloth with metal balls sewn into the knuckles. This quest prohibits the carrying of real-world weapons, only this fist glove is allowed.

Zhao Zheng doesn't know how to work hard, and he needs this kind of boxing to help. He put on his gloves, found a wooden box next to him and tried it, used the greatest internal force, and hit it at the center of the wooden box. The fist slammed into the wooden box, and an internal force was released through the metal ball, which instantly spread throughout the box.

With a crisp sound. Cracks appear in the chest. But it was not completely crushed.

"Huh? Why is this box so sturdy? Zhao Zheng was slightly surprised. Two more punches were blown, and the wooden box was shattered.

If it was an ordinary wooden box, it was absolutely impossible to withstand a punch from the Four Heavenly Martial Artists, and these wooden boxes were obviously specially made, far stronger than ordinary wooden boxes.

Zhao Zheng shook his aching hand and flicked it in the broken box, but there was nothing in it except broken pieces of wood.

It's so hard just to break the box. Coupled with the fact that some of the chests contain traps, it can be seen that it is not easy to reap the benefits of this dungeon.

Zhao Zheng carried the package on his left shoulder and traveled lightly, looking for the box he liked as he walked.

What's inside the chest is all random, and it's all a matter of luck and inspiration to find the chest that contains the treasure.

"Smack...... Syllable...... Smack......"

The sound of shattering sounded in the maze from time to time, and one by one the boxes were broken into several pieces under Zhao Zheng's fist gloves, but there was nothing in them, and it seemed that the probability of a special box appearing was very small, and it was difficult to encounter both mechanisms and treasures.

When the thirty-third box was hit, Zhao Zheng encountered a special box. The box was particularly fragile and shattered with the slightest exertion. He was suspicious. Without waiting for the broken wood to fall, he immediately withdrew his fist and jumped backwards, landing on the wooden box at a high place.

The next moment, a few black lights flew out of the broken box, and a few muffled sounds were heard, and several flying locust stones shot out of it and hit the surrounding boxes. The strength of the flying locust stone is not small, and it is deeply trapped in the wooden box, and if it hits a person, it must be seriously injured.

Zhao Zheng secretly said that it was dangerous, waited on the box for a while, and saw that the broken box was not moving, so he jumped down to check.

Under the cover of the wooden block there is a special mechanism, spherical in shape, with small holes on it, from which the locust stone is shot. This mechanism is very ingenious, it is a treasure, but unfortunately there is a set of judgment systems in the dungeon, and the trap cannot be taken out, even if he stuffs this trap into the package, when he leaves the dungeon, the trap will automatically disappear.

He knew about this abominable rule, so he fiddled with it twice and put the trap back on, and walked on.

A narrow road appeared ahead, with a large number of boxes piled up on both sides of the road, leaving only a small passage to pass through, and one had to lie on his stomach to pass. In this kind of dungeon, the more special the place, the more likely it is to be good, so Zhao Zheng didn't look for other ways, lay on the ground, and crawled along the low passage.

The inside of the passage is dark, and there are wooden boxes on the top, bottom, left and right, and the wooden boxes are exactly the same size.

As he crawled, he suddenly noticed a special chest, which was much smaller than the surrounding chests, embedded in the middle of another large chest. Since the two boxes fit together so tightly that there are no traces, it is easy to overlook if you don't look closely.

"It's a bit weird, maybe there's something good."

Suspicious, he grabbed the box, embedded his nails in the cracks of the box, and lifted it with force, pulling out the small wooden box.

The space here is small, and if there is a mechanism in the small box, there is no place to hide, so it is better to take it outside to fight.

He stuffed the small box into the package and continued to crawl forward. There are no more special boxes in front, all the boxes are the same and featureless. He crawled for a long time, and finally managed to crawl out of the passage formed by the box, and saw the light of day again.

When he came out, he put the small box on top of a large box, rubbed his hands, and hammered it down.

The small box was not strong, it was smashed with a single punch, there was no mechanism in it, but a red pill rolled out.

Zhao Zheng's heart trembled, thinking that he had come to work and found something good, but a system prompt sound that followed made him fall back to the bottom.

[Hint: The host found the Bloody Pill ×1 in the box maze dungeon, do you want to teleport it to the system warehouse?] 】

The Bloody Pill sounds quite domineering when it sounds like a name, but in fact, the effect is very simple, that is, it accelerates the blood flow of the person taking the medicine, which plays a certain role in improving, and the effect is the same as the "Blood Qi Rushing Crown" ability of the Triple Heavenly Martial Artist, or even inferior. Zhao Zheng was already a Quadruple Heavenly Martial Artist, and he could stimulate his blood qi to rush to the crown at will, and this blood pill was of no value to him at all.

"Alas, empty rejoice." Zhao Zheng shook his head and chose yes. The elixir in his hand vanished into the colored light and teleported into the dungeon.

He continued on his way, occasionally picking crates to strike. It didn't take much effort to break a box, but it was different if he hit too much, and the internal force in his dantian gradually fell short.

As he walked, he found a special box, which had a big red cross drawn on it, which was very eye-catching.

Inside this kind of chest with a red cross is 100% stuffed, either a trap or a treasure.

Zhao Zheng came to the spirit, ran quickly to the front of the special box, and after getting ready, he gathered all his strength and hit the corner of the box with skill. He used this punch very well, and the power was all concentrated in one point, and it did not spread around. A corner of the chest was shattered, while the surrounding wood was still intact. As soon as he struck a blow, he immediately stepped back.

There was a muffled thud in the box, and then a puff of purple poisonous smoke poured out of the shattered corner. If the whole box was broken, the poisonous smoke would definitely spread instantly, but fortunately, only a corner was broken now, and most of the poisonous smoke was held inside.

"Depressed, it's a trap again." Zhao Zheng complained in his heart and retreated farther away, going around from one side to the other, away from the box that was spewing poisonous smoke.

As he walked on, he smashed a number of chests, including a number of special chests, small chests, large chests, and chests with red crosses painted on them. However, these chests are either empty or traps, and there is not even a single treasure, so it seems that the chance of finding a treasure from this dungeon is still very low.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, three hours had passed, and the time limit for the copy of the box maze had been reached, and he had to retreat from it.

This quest had just been opened, and it attracted him quite a lot, and he didn't hesitate to enter this quest again after he came out.

His luck seemed to be better this time than the last time, and after looking for a long time, he found a very rare special chest on the way.

The box is small in size, only one meter square, and is surrounded by many strips of metal skin, each as thick as a finger. The metal skin shimmers with a bright silver glow, and it is particularly strong at first glance.

This metal chest is mentioned in the dungeon description, and the chance of this type of chest appearing is extremely small, much lower than that of other special chests. In this kind of chest, there will be 100% hidden treasures, and there will be no traps, but it is very difficult to destroy.

Seeing a metal chest is no different than seeing a treasure. Zhao Zheng's heart jumped, and he hurriedly walked over and checked it carefully.

The box is airtight and flawless, and the metal strips are screwed together and unbreakable.

Zhao Zheng had no tools in his hands, so he could only disassemble them with his bare hands.

No matter what you disassemble, the best way is to break through from one point, and dismantling this metal box is no exception. He chose a corner of the box and planned to start there.

He stretched out his fingers, secretly used his strength, and used the exercise method in his sleeve to force the internal force out through his fingers. He stabbed his finger into the crack in the metal bar, making a dent in it, and then stabbed several times in succession, making a small hole in the dent. He did the same, stabbing his fingers in succession, and gradually widening the small hole into a hole.

His fingers were not made of iron, and even though they were protected by internal force, he suffered some minor injuries, and sawdust was stuffed into his nails, oozing blood, and it hurt to the core. Holding back the pain, he put his hands into the hole, gritted his teeth, and let out a loud cry, bending the metal strip that wrapped around the wooden box a little.

He pushed back and forth, shaking the screws on several metal strips with brute force, and then screwed the screws out and removed the metal strips.

It took a lot of effort to get a big hole in the box that was big enough for your wrist to stick into.

He reached into the metal box, fumbled back and forth, and suddenly came across a mysterious sphere. (To be continued.) )
