Chapter Eighty-Nine

"Ferral, be careful, I heard Uncle Gillym say that the Minotaur doesn't patrol the traps very often, and we may have to stay in the maze for a while!" Seeing Qin Lun moving forward alone, Elistin admonished worriedly.

Neither Idria nor her are good at spotting traps. Qin Lun's perception is very high, and he has a gaze aura that can see through, and he is a hunter by profession, so he is the most suitable pathfinder besides thieves.

Qin Lun didn't summon Venus and Cyberbullus this time, although the Shadow Wind Leopard was very intelligent, detecting traps was not its strong point. The Hell Flame Demon Dog has thick skin and thick meat, and it is a good hand at thunder, but unfortunately this guy is too quiet, and if he attracts several minotaurs at the same time, it will be troublesome.

The Minotaur Labyrinth has a radius of nearly two kilometers and covers an area of more than sixteen square kilometers. It stands to reason that with the ability of Qin Lun and the others, it doesn't take much time to investigate the entire labyrinth, but that is when the path in the maze does not change.

Yes, the walls inside the Minotaur Labyrinth are not only identical, but they also move. Every once in a while, the walls within the labyrinth will change position, and it is said that the labyrinth was given an activation spell by the shaman of the Minotaur clan, and it is their only remaining abyssal ability.

In the narrow labyrinth passages of the environment, the battle advantage of the minotaur will be infinitely magnified. is already infinitely powerful, coupled with the small environment, the enemy has nowhere to hide, which can be called a legal profession? and the nemesis of the Agility class.

Qin Lun walked cautiously forward along the center of the labyrinth passage, and the gaze aura of his left eye was shortened by him, expanding the density of perception, and he tried his best to detect the possible traps. He didn't dare to walk along the wall, and in addition to the front and back, traps could be set up up up and down, left and right.

According to Gillim's somewhat simple introduction, there are roughly three kinds of maze traps for minotaurs, fire traps, thorn traps, and falling rock traps. As for whether there are other types of traps in zài, it depends on whether there are suitable trap materials in this dark area.

"Click...... Be careful! There was a soft sound from the back of the three-man team, and Idria was very alert, a dodge blocked behind Elistine, and a huge black shadow made a half-arc from the air, slamming into the female knight's shield.

"Dang!" The round steel shield borrowed by the female knight from the dwarf made a loud noise, and Idria was carried by a huge force and crashed into the elven druid behind her, and the two of them suddenly turned into rolling gourds.

"Are you all right?" Qin Lun stepped back from the front, pulled the two gray-faced people up, and then looked at the thing that had attacked them.

This is a huge stone hammer, the top is connected to the top of the passage, it was not triggered when Qin Lun passed by just now, but the two behind triggered this trap, so they smashed it down from the top of the passage.

"Looks like your eyes don't work too!" Idria took a long breath as she looked at the steel shield that had been smashed into a dent in the center.

Looking at this stone hammer, the faces of the three of them were a little solemn. Idria didn't blame Qin Lun, the shape of this stone hammer fit perfectly with the gap in the wall at the top of the passage, it was originally embedded, and the perspective was completely no different from the ordinary top wall in the past, which concealed Qin Lun's gaze aura.

"Everyone be vigilant, it seems that these minotaurs are very clever in their traps!" Qin Lun admonished and continued to move forward, but the speed became slower and slower, and the section of the road ahead was reviewed several times before he was relieved to enter.

"Ferral, what time is it?" After a period of time, Qin Lun and the three of them were mentally exhausted, there were not many traps they encountered, and this was only the periphery of the labyrinth, but these traps were cleverly designed, making the three of them have to scramble every time.

The most dangerous of them was the two, one was a serial trap, which almost pitted Qin Lun himself. Another time, Qin Lun had already explored that there was no danger, but he just happened to encounter the transformation of the labyrinth partition wall, and as a result, a large stone nail plate was smashed head-on, making the three of them jump for a while.

"It's been two days and one night!" After checking the length of stay in the death list, Qin Lun was taken aback. Only then did they realize that they were so engrossed that they were completely oblivious to the passage of time.

"No wonder you're so tired, let's take a break!" Elistin sat on the ground regardless of his image, took out dry food and water, and handed them to the other two. Qin Lun summoned Venus and asked it to patrol the nearby probed passages to avoid being raided by the Minotaurs.

Seems a little weird! Looking at the two beauties leaning together and closing their eyes to rest, Qin Lun didn't have time to rest. The exploration process of the past two days was re-filtered in his mind over and over again, and slowly he discovered some details that he had previously overlooked.

The traps they encountered along the way were basically fatal traps. If the purpose of these traps is to hunt, wouldn't it be better to make sure that the prey is trapped alive? Minotaurs are also intelligent races, so they don't like to eat rotten prey, do they?

Do you want to contact another team? Qin Lun took out a mechanical item that looked like a walkie-talkie in his arms, and his eyes flickered slightly.

This thing is a magical communication device given to him by Gillim, and although the dwarves are not good at making magic equipment, this short-range communication device is essential.

Dwarven miners build caves deep underground, often encountering landslides, and this short-range magical communication device is necessary to ensure that others can find survivors. During this expedition, he was brought into several by Gillim.

It's just that this thing is very delicate, and it doesn't take a few times to replace the energy. However, the magic crystal inside belonged to a special synthetic product, and Gillie didn't have much, so he had instructed Qin Lun before not to use this thing unless he had to rescue him.

Forget it, there's still a lot of time, let's see! Qin Lun hesitated for a moment, then put away the magic walkie-talkie. However, after Illistin and Idria woke up, Qin Lun still told them about this suspicion first.

"Ferral, you suspect that the minotaur in this labyrinth fortress has been attacked by a strong enemy, so you have replaced the traps for catching prey with deadly traps!" Elistin slept and was in much better spirits, and immediately guessed what Qin Lun meant.

"It's possible, but we still need evidence." Qin Lun nodded and said helplessly, "This labyrinth is too complicated, and I have basically lost my sense of direction until now. The only thing that is known is that, judging by the density of the number of traps, we are slowly approaching the core of the labyrinth. ”

Qin Lun's speculation was a little optimistic, in fact, after this conversation, they still didn't get anything for the next two days. Luckily, the other teams didn't activate the magic communication device, indicating that they weren't in an uncontrollable predicament either.

It wasn't until the fifth night of the entire exploration process that the magic walkie-talkie that Qin Lun put in his arms finally came out, and the trio on Weiss's side made a heavy discovery.

"Ferral, and Lord Gillym, we've found the corpses of two adult minotaurs here!"

"The corpse of a minotaur?" Gillym's voice didn't sound too surprised, and after a pause, he also fed back his information, "We found a hastily buried bone pit here two days ago, which should be the remains of food left over from the Minotaur's eating. It is worth noting that these newly left bones have been gnawed clean, and it seems that the minotaur has been short of food during this time. ”

Qin Lun and the rest of the dwarves also reported their findings, and Gillim quickly came to the conclusion that everyone was guessing.

"The minotaur of this labyrinth fortress has just been attacked once, and the enemy is very strong, once invaded the depths of the maze and killed several minotaurs, and the minotaurs who are not strong enough to guide zhì began to shrink their defenses, and they did not harvest prey during this time."

"Well, and they've also turned hunting traps into deadly traps, and in that respect, intruders are even tougher than minotaurs!" Mastassia said with some apprehension, "Lord Gillym, you'd better inform the other companions guarding outside the labyrinth and tell them to be wary of potential enemies. ”

"I've been informed, and they've retreated to the stalactite cave before." Gillim said cautiously, "But we have to be careful, since the minotaur no longer takes the initiative to hunt, then there is no need for us to act separately now, let's regroup!" Also, you bring a minotaur carcass and let me examine it when we meet. ”

"Hmm!" Everyone quickly came to an agreement, although they were in the labyrinth, it was easy for the four of them to reunite, and the magic communication device had a simple orientation.

Although the maze wall would block the linear positioning, since there was no need to worry about alarming the minotaur, they could use violent means to crack it. All of a sudden, a slight explosion was heard throughout the labyrinth.

Previously, it took four groups of people a full five days to explore the labyrinth, but now it only took half a day for the straight line to converge, and everyone gathered together. In the process, they did not encounter the minotaur, which proved that these monsters had indeed suffered heavy losses.

"Hey, this wound...... I think I've seen it before, but I can't remember it! Seeing the minotaur corpse that Weiss had carried, Gillim frowned.

In addition to Gillimu, Qin Lun and the others were also observing the minotaur corpse brought by Weiss.

The minotaur lying flat on the ground has a huge body, about three meters and six from head to toe, which is close to the height of two adult humans. Its feet were two stout hooves, and its head was a bull's head with two pairs of sharp horns, one of which was now broken.

However, unlike ordinary bull heads, its back neck to back is covered with manes, which makes it look strong and domineering. Minotaurs are carnivorous creatures with jagged fangs in their mouths and two pairs of sharp canine teeth in their upper and lower jaws that are directly exposed to their lips.

The upper body of the minotaur is basically the same as that of a human, except that it is muscular, like a bodybuilder who has doubled its size. It has only three fingers on its palm, and the other two fingers are more like the index finger merging with the middle finger and the ring finger merging with the little finger except for the thumb.

The last thing that makes the minotaur different from humans is that they also have an oxtail, which is one of the few weaknesses in the minotaur's body.

When the minotaur was alive, its eyes were bright red and bloody, but when it died, it turned into a deep darkness, as if it were pure black agate stone.

"It had three fatal wounds, the heart, the back of the neck, and the left eye socket!" Qin Lun looked at the corpse strangely, "Judging from the shape of the wound, it was pierced by some kind of sharp cone, such as a spear or something, but why did the muscle fibers at the wound turn outward, could it be said that it was a spear with many barbs?" ”

"A spear with barbs?" Gillym, who had been frowning and pondering, suddenly shrank his pupils and said with an ugly face, "I know what it is...... But how could such things appear here, they should stay in the endless abyss of the dark region! ”I1292
