Chapter 842 Staying as a Gatekeeper
Du Lai's footsteps stopped, including Leonid who was about to go out.
"The exit has already appeared, why don't you leave?" Du Lai was puzzled, "And didn't you say that the biggest use of those keys is to use them as road signs? You may not really need to collect them all."
Leonid was also a little impatient, "It's better to get out as soon as possible. These lice have been following us and we can't get rid of them no matter how hard we get rid of them. Even if we rinse them with wine, they won't last long and the lice will come out again."
He took off the towel wrapped around his face. It was unbearable. "If we continue to stay here, will our symptoms become more serious? I am really... so hungry!"
"The exit is right in front of you. It doesn't take too long to find the last few keys. Just be patient and patient." Bai Youwei looked at the square luminous object with a worried expression, "After all, none of us are sure... After leaving the maze , will these lice disappear?"
"No, it can't be?" Asalina said again, having just put her mind at ease, "Wouldn't it be that every time you walk out of the maze, your physical strength will be upgraded? Moreover, no matter how severe the injury is, it can almost be cured!"
Bai Youwei pursed her lips and said nothing.
She wanted to say that this was not the case. Cheng Weicai left the maze. Not only did the fish scales on his body not disappear, but they also upgraded together with Cheng Weicai.
Just like it was an underwater creature before, but after upgrading it became an amphibian, able to survive on both land and water.
And Bai Youwei couldn't predict what effect these "lice" would have if they were improved by the maze.
Chen Hui looked around awkwardly and said, "I think... we should do as Sister Weiwei wants. There are only 3 keys left, and there aren't many stone rooms left that we haven't walked through. We just need to spend a little more time." , we can collect the keys and open the iron door... No matter what the result is, at least when we go out, we can feel more at ease."
"But what if the exit disappears?" Du Lai frowned, "Will the exit stay here forever, or is there a time limit?... There must be a time limit, right? Otherwise, when the next group of people comes in, wouldn't it be easy to find the exit? ?”
Bai Youwei thought for a moment and replied: "Well, now that the Minotaur is dead, there is no need to worry about the number of steps. Let's leave one person here to guard, while the others find the keys, and then everyone will go to the center of the maze, where there are murals. Meet in that stone room.”
Du Lai said: "I'll stay."
Everyone looked at him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Du Lai didn't want to miss this opportunity to go out.
He is neither Bai Youwei's subject nor has any friendship with Bai Youwei. He really does not need to obey Bai Youwei's orders.
"Okay, you stay." Bai Youwei nodded lightly and directly assigned tasks to others.
Leonid searched the stone chamber in the east, Asalina searched the stone chamber in the south, Chen Hui was in charge of the west side, and she and Shen Mo were in charge of the north side.
Before leaving, Bai Youwei handed Du Lai a white conch.
This is a prop that can transmit sound. As long as Du Lai speaks through the white conch, Bai Youwei, Asalina and others can clearly hear Du Lai's words even through layers of stone walls.
It's a pity that this prop cannot make calls, otherwise the practical effect will not be worse than that of a mobile phone.
Du Lai held the white conch, sat down cross-legged in front of the glowing square, and said calmly: "If the exit shrinks or disappears, I will use the conch to notify you immediately."
After a two-second pause, he continued: "But, if you never come back... I won't wait forever."
Bai Youwei looked at him deeply.
Tiny black insects were scurrying around his neck, and veins appeared faintly on his forehead. He seemed to have reached the limit of his endurance...
"I don't have any objection if you take the first step." Bai Youwei said lightly, "However, it's best to think carefully, lest in the end, Fu Miaoxue recovers and you turn into such a ghost."
Today, my face hurts a little.
