Chapter 909: Companions

In the maze, there are naturally corpses.

Countless adventurers have set out to explore, and some of them have died there because of bad luck or some other reason. Duanmu Huai and others have seen many unlucky people along the way. After all, there are really many people who died there.

But this is the first time.

"It's so dark! So narrow! So scary!"

Standing at the intersection, looking at the adventurer who was half swallowed by the treasure chest monster, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

"Speaking of which, I have seen a book about this subject."

"Book?"

"Yes........."

Duanmu Huai sighed silently. The girl who was bitten by the treasure chest monster and couldn't move met an adventurer with bad intentions, and then took advantage of her inability to resist and hehehehehehehehehehe...

Although the drawings in the book are quite exciting, in reality... who would be interested in such a person whose half body was bitten by the treasure chest monster?

"Ah, it's here."

Just as Duanmu Huai was complaining, several figures appeared on the road on the other side. Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw three adventurers coming over. The leading adventurer looked at Duanmu Huai and others, stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded to them, then walked behind the adventurer swallowed by the box, stretched out his hand to grab her waist...

Hmm? No way, no one would dare to do this in broad daylight.

"Hey."

Fortunately, the adventurer did not strip the clothes of the unlucky guy in front of him as Duanmu Huai thought, but grabbed her and stuffed her in. Then the treasure chest monster made a painful "hiccup" and then directly vomited out the unlucky guy.

This technique... is really skillful.

"Huh..."

The one who was vomited out was a girl with white hair and twin ponytails, with a pair of long and big ears. I don't know what race she is, but anyway, looking at her appearance, she doesn't seem to be very smart.

Otherwise, how could she be swallowed by the treasure chest monster?

"Hello."

After skillfully rescuing the girl from the treasure chest monster and drying her hair, the adventurer looked at Duanmu Huai and others and said hello.

"You are also adventurers who come to break through the Great Maze."

"Yes, you too?"

"Yes."

The young man nodded.

"I am the brave Xin Meier, and these are my companions, the warrior Aize, the monk Haita, and the magician Fulilian."

"Hello, I am Duanmu Huai, and these are Ogis and Zhen Jiling."

Duanmu Huai also introduced himself lightly.

"But I didn't expect that you could come to such a deep place. I thought we were the first to arrive here."

Xin Meier said while looking at the passage behind Duanmu Huai and others.

"Are you also going to break through the Great Maze?"

"Yes, our mission is to defeat the Demon King. Of course, the maze is also our interest."

As he spoke, the brave smiled at Duanmu Huai.

"In that case, do you want us to act together? This maze is so huge that it is obviously difficult for us to explore it alone, and there are many dangerous monsters in it. It would be more convenient if we are together."

"Are you good at exploring mazes?"

Hearing the invitation of the hero, Duanmu Huai frowned and asked, while the monk next to him laughed.

"Of course, this guy is simply a maze maniac. His favorite thing is to walk through mazes."

"Well, this is my first time in this kind of maze. To be honest, I just want to leave this damn place as soon as possible."

Duanmu Huai himself doesn't like this kind of fancy stuff, and there is no one around who is good at walking through mazes. Since the other party has this intention, it is more convenient to follow the experienced people.

"In that case, then you can follow us."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the hero quickly responded.

"There are many traps in this maze, which are very difficult to deal with. Although I don't know how you got here, even the strongest warriors have to be careful of traps. Just follow us..."

"No."

However, Duanmu Huai waved his hand and interrupted the brave man.

"Since we need your help, we can't just do nothing. Let us go ahead. And as you said, traps are really hard to guard against, but we also have ways to deal with them, so just follow us and point us in the direction."

"This..."

It must be said that Duanmu Huai's request also surprised the brave man and others. They looked at each other and then nodded.

"Okay, please be careful."

In this way, after the two sides briefly introduced themselves, they continued their journey. Duanmu Huai walked in front, and the brave man and his party walked behind them. Of course, in terms of experience in maze exploration, the brave man and others are much more familiar than Duanmu Huai.

For example...

"Ah, be careful, there is a trap on the floor ahead!"

"Huh?"

When Duanmu Huai heard the reminder from behind, he had already taken a step forward and then stepped directly on a stone brick. The next moment, he saw dozens of spears on both sides suddenly fly out and stab towards Duanmu Huai.

An ordinary person would have been pierced by these spears long ago, but Duanmu Huai just stood there, and then he saw those spears pierced Duanmu Huai's armor, and then broke into two pieces.

"Wow..."

Seeing this scene, everyone behind them also gasped.

"To be honest, although it's not the first time, every time I see this scene I still feel... I don't know what to say."

The monk looked at Duanmu Huai who continued to stride forward with his head held high and his chest high with a complicated expression, looking like he didn't know how to evaluate him. Now he finally understood why Duanmu Huai asked him to take the initiative to walk in front. After all, his body is too big. There are some traps that ordinary people can avoid, but Duanmuhuai absolutely cannot avoid them. But on the other hand, as long as he walks through, everyone can pass smoothly as long as they follow him.

To be honest, although this is a bit like letting the other party go through thunder, it does greatly enhance safety.

"What's wrong? Haita?"

Seeing the complicated expression on the monk's face, the dwarf warrior next to him glanced at him.

"Feeling sick?"

"No."

Faced with the dwarf warrior's joke, the monk rolled his eyes.

"You can tell by looking at it that the thick armor the guy is wearing is definitely extraordinary in defense. To be honest, it doesn't seem particularly strange to me that those traps can't harm him."

"Really……………"

"Yeah, it's much better than you falling to the ground from a height of dozens of meters and still not getting hurt. That's really disgusting."

"Really………"

"Yeah, it's really disgusting..."

The soldiers in the back were chatting, and Duanmu Huai in the front was also passing the time with the brave man.

"You are also going to defeat the Demon King?"

"Yes, I heard that the Great Maze is connected to the Demon King's City. If you can reach the Demon King's City by breaking through the Great Maze, you won't have to waste several months."

"By the way, how much do you know about the Demon King?"

"Honestly? We don't know much about it. We have fought against the Demon King's men before, but we didn't get much information. In any case, the Demon King has to be defeated, so... ah, here we are."

As he spoke, the brave man stopped and looked ahead. When he raised his head and looked up, he could see a straight passage and corridor in front of him - obviously, they had already passed this level.

"Then let's go back."

However, at this moment, the brave man turned around.

"??? What do you mean, don't you have to go through the maze?"

Looking at the brave man in front of him who turned around to leave, Duanmu Huai looked confused. He had obviously reached the next level. What did he mean by going back?

"That's what this guy is like."

At this moment, the magician next to him also said helplessly.

"He would explore every level of the maze he went to before going to the next level."

"After all, this is common sense among adventurers."

"You don't have such common sense."

Facing the brave man's answer, the soldier next to him silently complained.

"It turns out to be a Qingtu player..."

Duanmuhuai can understand it. After all, many players in the game feel uncomfortable if they don't clear everything on the map of a place and all local achievements are 100%.

It's not that Duanmu Huai can't understand, but he won't do it.

the reason is simple.

When you are on a planet and find that your achievements are 99%, finding the remaining 1% is the most painful.

Seeing Duanmu Huai's expression of deep understanding, the members of the brave team were shocked.

"Hey? Can you understand?"

"I have seen many similar people in this situation."

"Let's see."

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the brave man proudly flipped his hair.

"I would say this is common sense among adventurers."

"I don't have this kind of common sense..."

"All in all, I'm not interested, so I'll go down first."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai pointed to the stairs, while the brave man waved his hand.

"Thank you for taking care of me. Let's see you again."

"hope so."

Just like that, Duanmu Huai turned around and walked down the stairs, while the brave group turned back and continued their adventure.

Then, after more than ten hours...

"Uh... why are you here?"

The brave team who had cleared the entire first floor of the maze walked down the stairs and when they arrived at the second floor, they saw Duanmu Huai and his party fishing there.

"Big brother is lost again."

Zhen Ji Ling sighed helplessly, while Duanmu Huai looked at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of him speechlessly, his eyes full of sighs and emotions.

"At the crossroads of life, it's really hard to make a choice..."
