Chapter 112: Labyrinth (Part II)

Stepping over the werewolf skeleton, we move on.

Ahead, we encountered more forks in the road, and I continued to follow my instincts and chose one of them first.

On the way, we came across a bear-man skeleton, two kobold skeletons, five rat-man skeletons, and five weasel skeletons!

Tero's face grew more and more gloomy, and the other two were also full of worry.

"Are we on the wrong track?" They finally couldn't help but ask.

"On the contrary," said Trow, "it shows that we are on the right track!" They were all killed, not trapped, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the path! ”

I said, "I have a feeling, I'm almost at the end!" ”

Tro said, "Hurry up! ”

By this time, we had already burned two torches, and although there were still four left, we were a little worried and quickened our pace again.

Finally, the "end" in my sense has arrived.

It was an underground hall that was bigger than the training ground in the temple!

"Hmm......" Leo exclaimed in a low voice, "sure enough, this is it?" ”

All three looked at me and said, "Where is this?" ”

I shook my head: "How do I know?" ”

"No, I mean, where are we now, like the ground down that street?" ”

I was stunned for a moment: "How do I know this?" This labyrinth is so complicated......"

"That's not right!" Tro shook his head, "Your instincts to bring us here show that you have such talent...... This is an ancient legend, it is said that a certain generation of ancestors of our minotaur once built a huge labyrinth on the island, and no one could safely find the exit from it except himself, and later, the dragons destroyed the island, and he was killed by the despicable humans and elves, however, his descendants have since been blessed by the mother earth goddess, and have the talent not to get lost in any labyrinth, I guess, you are his descendant! ”

"What?" I looked at him in surprise, "Why haven't I heard of such a thing?" Even grandpa doesn't know? ”

Tro said: "Such a talent is already very rare, I also listened to the old people talk about it when I was a child, and now I know that it is not a legend!" ”

I kind of believe it, after all, it's an old legend, and a lot of things about ancestors can also be forgotten.

"That ancestor, what's it called?" I asked curiously.

"It's like, what a mist," Tro scratched his head, "I was too young to remember." ”

"Minotaur, labyrinth minotaur!" Leo suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "What kind of mess is this? Greek mythology is out! Oh no, it's not just Greek mythology, if I'm not mistaken, the maze immunity is the setting of Dungeons & Dragons! What a mess! That's an evil man-eating monster! ”

He muttered, I didn't understand, but I did, he said that the ancestor named Minotaur was a monster!

"Nonsense!" I retorted to him, "How could my ancestors be man-eating monsters!" ”

"Haha," Leo laughed, "you remember, the Minotaur was killed by humans and elves, so, in their legends, you are monsters!" ”

"How do you know it's a human legend!" I'm not convinced.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that I was dumbfounded, Trow asked.

Actually, I'm arguing with Leo.

"That," I said, "is that ancestor, is it called the Minotaur?" ”

Troll's eyes widened and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!" It's the Minotaur, the former minotaur patriarch, but it's been so long ago that many people don't remember it...... Unexpectedly, Bihon, you turned out to be his descendant! ”

I also began to believe it, and I denied Leo's views even more.

"The cunning creatures of man must discredit our ancestors," I said, "and wherever you know it, it's not right!" ”

Leo said: "If you look at things from a different perspective, everyone thinks they are righteous, especially when it comes to race...... Forget it, don't worry about that, hurry up and find the treasure! ”

I said, "Take a look, be careful, I've heard there will be traps in the maze, don't run too fast!" ”

The three of them suddenly became nervous.

"Let's go," I said, "and then again, I don't know what it looks like overhead, but it looks like we're still under Thunder City, and although we've been around a lot in the maze, we're probably going around in circles." ”

Tro nodded: "I hope there is no danger here......"

"Probably there won't be a ......," said one of the companions, "that Weasel has been here, isn't it still coming out?" And those bones, which are also many years old, show that no one has ...... in recent years."

"Then take a good look," said the two, "and when you're done, you'll go up and hand it over." ”

It seemed that they had not thought of anything related to the treasure in the slightest.

However, I also think that the so-called valuable treasure is estimated to have been taken away by the previous people, and we can't touch it.

The light of the torches could barely illuminate the hall, and we couldn't even see anything on the walls and ceilings if there was a passage in the distance, so we could only follow Troll's side and slowly survey the wide but empty underground hall.

Judging from the cracks in the floor and walls, and the protruding pieces of rubble, we can be sure that there were once many decorative carvings here, but these carvings have been forcibly destroyed.

"Someone has been here for a long time...... Leo also seemed a little disappointed, "Could it be that they have all been looted?" Well, it shouldn't be......"

"What's not a baby, it's no fun, right?" I asked in the tone of his voice.

"No, it's impossible!" Leo said, "There must be something precious hidden somewhere!" ”

"Nothing...... "Tro said, "looks like it's long since it was emptied." ”

"Well......" Leo said with some seriousness, "it seems that the real thing is unlikely, take a closer look, the ground, the walls and the ceiling, are there any special patterns or words or the like......"

"What's the use?" I asked.

"Priceless treasures are basically in text patterns." Leo said.

"Okay!" I tried to keep my eyes open.

Eventually, in the corner opposite the hall, two exits were seen, and nothing else.

"Keep going!" Leo was a little annoyed, "I don't believe that the protagonist's aura will return empty-handed!" ”

They all looked at me: "Which one?" ”

I looked at it and said, "Both, you can ......."

"What?" Tro was strange.

"That's it...... "I spread my hands."

"You've got to pick one." Tro said.

I said, "Then it's on the right!" ”

The other two had no objection and we took the road on the right.

The exit was not very long, and we walked a dozen steps and came to another corner.

Turning around, there were two more forks in the road, but my instincts told me that I should continue to the right.

"Why don't we try the left?" One of his companions suddenly said, "Maybe something went wrong with Bihong's instincts just now." ”

"Believe in Bihon!" Tro shook his head.

I said, "Try the left, I'm honestly a little curious about the maze talent......"

Tro hesitated, looked at the torches, and said, "But we have to be careful, there are not many torches." ”

So, we went to the left.

After walking a short distance, we saw a corner with a few spare torches behind it.

Tro happily picked up the torch and said, "I didn't expect someone to come here!" ”

The companion who proposed to go to the left was a little worried: "Why did he drop the torch?" Could it be that there is danger ahead? ”

Me: "Probably not!" Let's move on! ”

"It's always good to be careful!" said Trow! ”

Then, we moved on – back to that hall!

"No wonder—" the other companion suddenly realized, "no wonder Bijon said that both are the same, it turns out to be a cycle!" ”

"Next time, continue to follow Bihon's intuition!" "You two, don't have any other opinions!" ”

The two nodded.

We're back at the fork in the road.

After the fork in the road, we continued to move on, but something even stranger happened.

We walked out of the fork in the road and saw that there was only one exit ahead.

Next door to the exit we walked out of was another entrance.

"This is ......," said Trow, "I see, this is another entrance to the labyrinth, and if anyone comes in from this side, they will have to choose a fork in the road like we did!" ”

"In other words, there are two entrances to this labyrinth, and there are still forks on both sides, but when you go out, you don't need to choose, just go forward!" A companion added.

"Really, strange...... "Isn't the maze a little too easy?" ”

"And what's your intuition? Which one should we take? Tro said.

"That's the one in front of you." I say.

"That's right!" "In this labyrinth is easy to get out and hard to get in!" ”

"Hurry up, go out, and you'll be able to make a difference!" The companion was in high spirits.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the passage ahead.

"Squeak—"

That's the sound of the nezumi, or the Weasel!
