Chapter 17: The Labyrinth of Flesh
Unexpectedly, there was no egg fluid in this amazingly large hive. It was filled with wriggling flesh that filled almost the entire hive space, leaving only a small passageway. The strange thing is that the moment Zuo De stepped into the hive, Long Wei's suppressive effect actually disappeared, as if it didn't work in the body.
Zuo De didn't think about it so much, and immediately returned to the insect body, increased his speed, and rushed along this passage. However, Zode soon noticed that something was wrong, and the wriggling flesh and low passages did not seem to change in any way, while the forks in the road became more and more.
Zod could no longer sense the aura left by the leader of the arachnids, and he couldn't even confirm his location.
Zode was disoriented, he was lost.
"Flesh Labyrinth!?" Zuo De carefully observed the strange space in front of him and began to search the knowledge base. Soon, he found a term.
The "Labyrinth of Flesh" is a variant of the "Labyrinth", a spell that specifically targets the invasion of microscopic creatures into the body, connecting the flesh to a special labyrinth alien space, allowing the invading miniature creatures to get lost in it and eventually kill them.
As with all kinds of labyrinths, the "Flesh Labyrinth" has a flaw that is not a flaw. That is, if you have enough intelligence, you will be able to quickly calculate the correct way to pass.
However, Zuode's level of intelligence obviously did not meet that specific requirement, even with a special being as special as Stoneeye.
Intelligence is a comprehensive expression of various mental powers such as observation, memory, imagination, creativity, analytical judgment, thinking and reasoning.
Cracking the maze requires extraordinary intelligence and numeracy. Other than that, you can only go out after the spell is over.
However, the "Flesh Labyrinth" is a constant labyrinthine technique, and waiting will only slowly kill you.
Since the correct route cannot be calculated and derived, there is only one last way left to solve the maze. Zuo De raised the active giant sword Kun, and the demonic weapon was activated. Kun pierced the flesh wall on the ground at once, and sank in with Zuode.
As one of the variants of the Labyrinth, the biggest advantage of the "Flesh Labyrinth" is that it can be constant on top of the flesh. However, it is precisely because of this that the materials that make up the labyrinth can only be built with their own flesh and blood, which means that the flesh walls of the "flesh labyrinth" can be destroyed. As long as you find the right direction and dig all the way through, you should be able to crack this special spell as well.
When Zuo De drilled into the flesh wall, the countless broken flesh buds suddenly grew wildly, and Zuo De was wrapped tightly at once. Zode's greatsword had just sliced through a part, but more flesh sprouts poured in.
"It's not that simple, it's a defense mechanism that touches the flesh. Zode thought, but did not panic in the slightest. As a high-level spell, how could it be cracked so easily.
However, there is a fatal flaw in the body's self-defense mechanisms. Zuo De's consciousness immediately escaped into the stone eye space and turned on the manipulation mode.
Sure enough, this time those disgusting granulations did not reappear, and Zuode, who easily tore through the restraints, began to continue to destroy the flesh wall. The body's self-defense mechanism is its inability to react to inanimate objects, and this is its biggest flaw. When Zod enters manipulation mode, the worm body becomes a soulless shell, which is the nemesis of this mechanism.
It didn't take long for Zuo De to destroy it, and finally, he felt that his eyes lit up, and the maze technique was cracked!
It's an extremely large space, no smaller than the hive outside, and it seems to have been spatially strengthened. It was surrounded by disgusting walls of flesh, but in the middle was a huge strange flower that reached the top of the cave, and this strange flower looked like a huge mouth. The petals are sharp teeth, and in the stamens of the flowers, a brilliant gem is inlaid with them. This should be the last defense mechanism in this dragon soul's body.
"It's the soul core, no, this form, such fluctuations, this is a perfect soul gem. Zode sighed.
At this time, this strange flower is fiercely fighting a arachnid elf wearing gorgeous armor.
It was the leader of the arachnoid elves.
Unlike Zuode, who was covered in mud and mud, the arachnid elves appeared unharmed, and should have relied on their strong intelligence to get out of the labyrinth. Not only that, even in the face of the crazy bite of this strange flower, the spider elf seemed to be calm and relaxed, without any fear, the whip in his hand rolled left and again, and from time to time he made up a few magics, which had suppressed this huge strange flower, and it was only a matter of time before he won.
The abnormal movement of the maze technique being forcibly cracked also alarmed the arachnoid elf, and when it saw Zuo De who broke in, it couldn't help but speed up the pace of attack. The whip was so strange that she was about to fall to the ground.
It was at this time that Zuode, who saw the situation clearly, began to attack.
Rapid assault, launch.
Demonize the weapon, unleashed.
Target, Arachnid Elf Boss!
Zuo De knew that once he let the arachnid elf defeat the strange flower, he would not be able to resist the elf's whip. Moreover, Zode understands that as long as he maintains a manipulative mode, the self-defense mechanisms in these hives will ignore his existence, which is extremely beneficial to him.
Zod began to circle the strange flowers, waiting for an opportunity to harass the leader of the arachnid elves. In control mode, Zod's agility is greatly reduced, and he is not sure if he will be able to avoid the attacks of the arachnids. Fortunately, the sharpness of the giant sword kun is also an existence that the elf leader is extremely afraid of, and with the active strange flower, this makes its offensive strength greatly weakened.
"Who the hell are you, damn one?" it roared angrily.
Zuo De was not in the mood to communicate with it, and with the help of the huge size of the strange flower, he instantly entered the shadow line, avoiding the sight of the arachnid elf leader. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the whip was bitten by the sharp teeth of the strange flower, there was another rapid assault, and the giant sword swung at the back of the enemy.
The spider spirit let out a screaming spell, and a bright yellow energy shield appeared on its body, immediately resisting Zode's heavy slash, and then shattered into tiny energy fragments.
"Bastard, you guy, look for death!" the arachnid elf was visibly annoyed by Zode's repeated harassment. As soon as it raised its arm, the delicate whip was raised high, and a huge amount of magical energy began to gather together, and with the spell of the arachnid, a halo of thunder and lightning began to appear around it.
"Damn, it's a big move! This guy, how much soul equipment did he bring here? It's too cheating!" Although the worm stage can obtain all kinds of strange natural abilities, however, these abilities will not exceed the beginner level.
The arachnoid elves have used many spells, all of which are clearly beyond the initial stage. Looking at the armor on its body, the whip in its hand, and the various accessories it wears, it is obvious that they are not the product of natural evolution. You must know that even for high-level demons, a piece of soul equipment is a very precious treasure. And it is almost unthinkable for a worm stage like the leader of the arachnid elves to wear these seven or eight pieces of soul equipment.
Zode was even a little skeptical that the operation was too reckless. However, the current situation is that it is difficult to ride a tiger, and seeing that the arachnid elf is about to magnify his moves, Zuo De did not hesitate to take advantage of the cover of the huge flower path of the strange flower, and ran away.
