Chapter Twenty-Seven: Have You Finished Thinking About It, Little Brother?
Xu Shuo was woken up by the cold, he opened his eyes, and found that the breath he exhaled had turned into bursts of white mist, and Lilian was still asleep on the side, but her posture had changed from leaning on his shoulder to holding his arm.
(It's so cold,, it's cold, how can it be so cold?) )
Xu Shuo was so cold that his upper and lower teeth beat the beat, looking left and right, but he couldn't find the reason for the drop in temperature, he woke up Lilian beside him, and said, "Hey, wake up, I'm going to catch a cold if I sleep again." ”
"Huh?"
Lilian opened her eyes in a daze, and after being stunned for a few seconds, she panicked and let go of Xu Shuo's arm.
"yes, I'm sorry, I slept so badly..."
"Isn't it time to say this, don't you notice that the temperature drops a lot while we are asleep?" Xu Shuo asked.
"Really?" Lilion blinked, opened her hands and felt the air, and said, "Ah, it seems to be a little." ”
"Sort of?" Xu Shuo looked at Lilian incredulously, and for a moment suspected that there was something wrong with his senses, but he quickly dispelled this doubt, pointed to the breath exhaled from his mouth and said, "No, you see that the breath I exhaled has turned into white mist, okay?" ”
Lilian had a look on her face that suddenly realized: "Really, it seems that the temperature has indeed dropped a lot, sorry, I've not been very sensitive to temperature since I was a child, so ......"
Xu Shuo was speechless for a while.
(Am I too weak?) )
Xu Shuo stood up and said to Lilian with some trembling: "I don't know what the situation is, let's go to the second floor first and see if the whole maze is like this." ”
Liliam agreed, and the two of them made their way to the only entrance to the second floor, the Boos room.
On the way, Xu Shuo tried to ask Angela the reason for the drop in temperature.
(Hey, Angina isn't there?) )
No response.
(Sleeping?) Hey, waste goddess, get up and pee. )
Still no response.
Xu Shuo shouted Angina's name in his heart for a while, but Angina's side did not react, this is the first time Xu Shuo can't contact Angina, although this waste wood goddess is usually very unreliable, but there is always a response, and I don't know what happened this time.
At this time, Xu Shuo noticed one thing, the closer he got to the main room on the floor, the lower the temperature in the air seemed to be, which made him have a sense of foreboding.
When Xu Shuo and Lilian arrived outside the main room on the first floor, Xu Shuo found that a large amount of cold air visible to the naked eye was drifting out of the room, and the ground outside the iron door was even covered with a layer of smooth thin ice.
The iron door of the room was wide open, and Xu Shuo looked cautiously from outside the iron door to the cold.
"......"
It was almost like a large freezer, the main room on the floor, the ceiling, and the floor, all frozen, and patches of icebergs stood on either side of the room, with only a smooth path in the center.
"Hello!" Lilien, who was behind her, sneezed, and then said weakly, "Sorry, it's a little cold." ”
“…… Are you just feeling a little cold now? Xu Shuo somewhat admired Lilian's ability to withstand the cold.
Lilian glanced at the main room and asked with some cringe, "Mr. Xu Shuo, what is going on here?" ”
"I don't know, but it seems that this is the reason for the sudden drop in temperature." Xu Shuo said, turning around and taking the white star stone from Lilian's hand, "I'll go in and see what's going on, you wait for me outside." ”
"Huh? I, I, I'll go in with you, Mr. Xu Shuo! Lilian said with some panic.
"Aren't you afraid of any danger inside? You'd better stay outside. Xu Shuo said.
"But it's dark outside, and I'm ...... alone," Lilian whispered as she spoke.
Xu Shuo sighed, "Forget it, you follow me." ”
So, Xu Shuo walked in front with the White Star Stone, and Lilian was nervously grabbing Xu Shuo's shoulders and the corners of his clothes in the back, because she was afraid, so Lilian was very close, close to some disturbing places, and bumped into Xu Shuo's back from time to time.
Xu Shuo couldn't concentrate, so he said helplessly: "That... Lilien, you're so close, I can't walk. ”
"Ahh Lilian took a step back in shame, but still clutched the corner of Xu Shuo's clothes.
The two of them walked around, and they didn't encounter any danger, there was no monster raid, and there were no abnormalities, except for the ice in the main room of the entire floor, there was nothing else wrong, and Xu Shuo couldn't find the root cause of the freezing in the room.
"Hell, is this actually the feature of this labyrinth?" Xu Shuo muttered.
"Ghosts?! Where are the ghosts?! As soon as Lilian heard the sensitive words, she was so frightened that she grabbed Xu Shuo's shoulder, and her whole body trembled.
"It hurts, it hurts, your shoulder is going to break, you calm down, there are no ghosts!" Xu Shuo hurriedly said.
"Really, Mr. Xu Shuo, don't scare people......" Lilian said with tears in her voice.
"You heard it wrong...... It hurts, it hurts, okay, I know, don't grab my shoulder so hard! ”
After exploring and finding nothing, Xu Shuo and Lilian went to the second floor to see if there would be any clues on the next floor.
As soon as he reached the second floor, Xu Shuo saw a unicorn lying quietly on the ground, this unicorn had sound limbs, but there was a hole the size of a fist in its head.
Seeing this scene, Xu Shuo instantly understood - someone came in.
Xu Shuo squatted down and carefully examined the unicorn carcass. A cone-shaped hole was found in the wall next to the corpse, with a puddle of liquid underneath the hole. Xu Shuo touched the liquid, and his fingertips felt very cold.
(A magician with ice-based magic?) It seems that the ice in the main room on the first floor should also be made by this guy, this strength, the level is estimated to be quite high, is it an enemy? Or a passing adventurer? )
"Mr. Xu Shuo, have you found anything?" Lilien, behind her, asked.
Xu Shuo didn't answer, his mind was spinning rapidly.
(Previously, Angela said that this maze had only been opened for a short time and had not yet been explored.) In other words, neither the Adventurer's Guild nor the Bounty Hunters' Guild know about this place yet, and there will be no crusade missions or anything, and the only people who know this place should be me and Lilian, as well as the masked man who chased the two of us before. In this way, it is likely that this mage has been sent by the masked man to kill us...... That's not good. )
Thinking of this, Xu Shuo's brows couldn't help but squeeze together.
(Assuming this guy is really here to kill us, then we're lucky, the guy didn't find us on the first floor, and has already gone further down into the maze.) But if you continue to stay in the labyrinth, it's hard to say when he will be caught by him, or sneak out now? )
"That, Mr. Xu Shuo......" Lilian patted Xu Shuo on the shoulder.
Xu Shuo slapped Lilian's hand away and said, "Shh, I'm thinking about things." ”
(Still no, those masked men will definitely send people to guard the exit, and going out is equivalent to throwing yourself into a net, unless I'm high enough to defeat them...... Sure enough, you should still hide first and find a way to reach a certain level before going out. )
At this time, Xu Shuo suddenly noticed that the light around him had become a lot brighter, and he looked up and found two people standing in front of him.
One was a man, dressed in brown leather and holding a torch in his hand, carrying an exaggeratedly large backpack that seemed to block the labyrinth's aisles if it was a little bigger.
The other is a woman, the mage robe on her body has been changed to look like a cheongsam, two big white legs are looming, and the woman's hair color is also very peculiar, one long hair, the hair on the left side is as red as blood, and the right side is as white as snow.
Facing Xu Shuo's gaze, the woman said impatiently: "Have you finished thinking about things, little brother, after thinking about it, let's make way, don't squat in the middle of the aisle and get in the way when you think about things in the future." ”
