971 Labyrinth 1
Queenie, the blood-spotted leopard lying flat in the anti-gravity force field, her eyebrows furrowed and her facial muscles still twitching from time to time, but the light blue liquid that Willard had configured before had now completely penetrated her skin, although it relieved the onset of heart pills in her body, but it made her complexion a little weird.
And Willard, who was standing next to this force field, was still telling the reason.
"These are all messages that my grandfather sealed in my memory, but I didn't expect this part of the sealed memory to be unlocked in advance because of Yves' death......"
"Raymond, do you know the truth...... The duty of these true Cataclysmic Lords in the Far North is to lead these powerful people gathered under their command to plunder the plane, and in this way to improve their own strength, cultivate loyal subordinates, and fight against those families and forces that are unwilling to rely on them, to put it bluntly, the ultimate goal is still one, which is to snatch and occupy resources......"
"Although the original Northern Frontier Alliance will still carry out dimensional plunder, in fact, even if it does not carry out such dimensional invasion, most people can live well...... But if the Far North doesn't carry out such a dimensional raid, it will be completely finished......"
Seeing that Willard's eyes became a little straight when he said this, Raymond coughed lightly and asked. "Then why did your grandfather leave the Northern Frontier Alliance, and where did he go now?"
"Leave? no, no, no...... He was forced to leave, so that I could grow up with peace of mind, for the sake of those who lived in the Abyssal World, but I firmly believe that he is still alive, because in my sense he is still there, as if he never left......"
It seems to be longing and remembrance, but the sadness and confusion in the tone are not concealed. And Willard, who no longer spoke, also had a flash of sadness in his eyes.
For a long time, the eternal night that Raymond came into contact with because of Gracie seemed to be very different from the eternal night that Willard had learned about in the frozen city, but it is not difficult to understand that in the far north under the guidance of the law of the jungle, there is a situation like Cheney that is extremely indifferent to the strong of the weak race.
Time passed slowly, and when Quinnie woke up, Raymond inquired about her health.
The Mind Pill toxin, which had already struck once before when she was besieged by those metal golems, had now completely dispersed throughout her body, and although the light blue potion that Willard had prepared had a relieving effect, she could not get the antidote given by Cheney for three hourglass hours. Then she will lose her mind and become a puppet being.
Realizing that time was pressing, Raymond stopped wasting time, and after getting Willard and Quinny the Blood-Spotted Panther to follow him, he picked up speed and began to move forward.
A large and eerie labyrinth, when Raymond enters the inner ring area. It showed its power in vain.
Hallucinations, hallucinations, and even inexplicable low-power attacks began to appear one after another.
Because it is impossible to use mental power to probe and understand the traps in the passage ahead. So the three of them had to brace themselves and face it.
There are passages with slight slopes. Narrow and obsessive, it can lead to a gradual sense of irritability and depression over time.
But Raymond, who had a complete road map, didn't care about these traps at all, just urged Willard and Quinny the blood-spotted leopard to follow closely behind him, and kept shuttling through the maze at the speed of ordinary people's hundred-meter sprint, walking towards the center of the maze.
The whining of the wind. In fact, it was a precursor to some inexplicable attacks.
And the faint but direct scream of the mind is a warning that the illusion is about to appear.
The inexplicable flash that appeared in front of the passage represented that an important choice was about to appear in the fork ahead......
Although Raymond could not remove the trap in the labyrinth, let alone invalidate it. But he is familiar with the changes of traps in any area, and he will not make a mistake at all, so a lot of time is saved.
However, even though Raymond had a complete path map, this maze with countless inexplicable traps in its twists and turns, it still took the time of the two hourglasses for the three of them to come to the core area of the labyrinth.
Suddenly, a corner appeared in the slender passage, and after turning around, the force field film that covered the entire passage suddenly appeared in front of him, and Raymond, who was finally relieved to see this, solemnly explained to Willard after stopping. "You stay here with Queenie the Blood-spotted Leopard, and when you notice that the color of this force field film has changed, you will bring Queenie the Blood-Spotted Leopard in to find me!"
Willard, who was originally full of joy, was stunned when he heard it, but then reacted. "There's danger inside?"
"If Cheney hasn't been able to get out of the illusion, then anyone who enters will be attacked by her, so it's better for you to stay here!"
Willard, who nodded in promise, had doubts in her eyes, but she still stood next to the force field with Quinnie, the blood-spotted leopard.
And Raymond, who took a deep breath, walked directly into the force field film after applying gainful states such as speed, brute force, and light body on his body.
The force field film, which is like a water curtain, has a faint coolness after passing through.
But Raymond, whose body had just entered the interior, suddenly had a loud shout in his ears! "Kill you, kill you, kill you......"
The sharp and panicked shouting sounded as if it was exploding in his ears, and there was a faint fluorescent Raymond in front of him, only to feel a strong force hitting his right shoulder, and then his body fell uncontrollably to the left.
There was a muffled sound, and Raymond, who was caught off guard and hit the wall next to him, seemed to hear the sound of a bone crack in his left shoulder thigh, but the corner of his eye found that the sneak attacker had pounced suddenly.
There was chagrin in his heart, but Raymond, whose back was on the wall, bounced up at an accelerated pace, and after avoiding the poke that seemed to be a sharp weapon, the Void Slash backhand condensed by his right hand was released!
The figure that pounced on him almost brushed past him because the weapon in his hand was given up by Raymond, so this void slash hit her right shoulder firmly!
With a painful scream, Raymond, who turned around, saw that it was Cheney, who had been trapped here for several days, who attacked him.
The movement of the cape was slow, and the protective force field on Cheney's body surface was dim to the extreme, and the Void Slash released by Thunder just now almost destroyed her protective force field, and the huge amount of force generated by the Void Slash when it was released was also something that Cheney could not bear, and he was smashed over by a blow, and fell to the ground as if he was seriously injured!
Cheney, who was lying on the ground in embarrassment, was facing Raymond with a side face, her eyes were red and her face was distorted, and what she was holding in her hand was a thin, short, sharp stabbing sword, and the blue flesh of the sword was obviously poisonous.
Raymond didn't need to observe everything in the surrounding environment of the road, and Raymond, who couldn't entangle with Cheney, immediately flew back, and after moving away from the entrance to this place, he turned around and rushed to the right side of the entrance, ignoring Cheney, who roared at him like a wounded beast, and there were no thoughts and ideas in his mind, and he just started to move forward as if he were scattered.
The dim but still narrow and annoying slightly curved passage, only a few meters away as far as the eye could see, Raymond was met with an irresistible resistance as soon as he was running.
As if it was the kind of 'rule' before, this kind of resistance was not like the effect of some kind of spell, and there was no fluctuation of the force field to be detected, but Raymond, who had slightly increased his speed, felt that there was an iron wall in front of him that could not be broken through!
It's a very strange phenomenon, although I didn't perceive any force field breath, let alone any energy surge, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with my own strength.
But in Raymond's heart, he was extremely ambivalent to be able to identify one thing, that is, if he still wanted to increase his speed and force his way through, then the iron wall in front of him that could not be seen, touched, or felt would be fine, but he himself would definitely hit his head and bleed...... (To be continued......)
