Chapter 28 Maze Chase

Chapter 28 'Maze' Chase

"Where are you?" Rose and I rushed to the area that Kristina was responsible for, but the messy signs on the ground confused us!

Kristina's voice was obviously accompanied by violent movements: "I don't know where I am! That guy is right behind me! Oops!"

The eagle's voice rang: "I've reached the second intersection, where are you?"

Bai Ling's voice: "I'm on the right at the third intersection, heading that way."

Although my Ring Knight didn't answer, he appeared behind me and Rose almost at the same time. I quickly gave them an order: "Look for them separately. You guys are over there. Damn Goth will lead someone to look for you over there. I will do it here by myself."

After running around for a while, we returned to the node where we just separated. The eagle also ran back, but no one found Kristina. At this moment, a huge black figure suddenly ran out of a nearby intersection. It turned out to be Kristina and her steel claws. "Help! I finally see you!"

A big guy rushed out from behind, and it turned out to be the tauren. He brandished the giant ax and rushed forward. Just when the ax was about to fall, several spears were set up at the same time. There was a clank and the ax was pushed aside.

The tauren looked at us, then turned around and ran away faster than when they came.

"Catch him!" Rose suddenly shouted. "Don't let him get away."

"Hurry up!"

The first one to rush up was Bai Lang. He used his strength to jump out. When he reached the intersection, he didn't slow down at all. He kicked off the wall and turned into the intersection where the tauren escaped. After all, Bailang is a creature that comes out of the tunnel. This kind of tunnel is his specialty. This method of turning on the wall is particularly suitable for high-speed movement in such places.

Immediately behind the steel claw were Ye Ying and I, but because the speed was too fast, Ye Ying lost his horse and kicked to the side and missed the intersection, causing me to fall onto my back. Just as I was about to get up, I suddenly saw a black shadow crash down. The heavy armored dragon riding on the bell knight following me also missed the intersection and fell down. I quickly rolled to the side to avoid the tragic fate of being smashed underneath.

This damn intersection turns so fast that if you go too fast, you won’t even have time to turn! By the time we got up, Rose and the others who were following us had already rushed over. The low chassis of the steel claws made it easier to turn, and they had so many tentacles that could help support the ground and prevent falls.

By the time we rushed in, Bailang had already disappeared. It seemed that he had been chasing the tauren. We chased them to an empty intersection, with more than a dozen branches converging on this point, and we had no idea where they were going. Suddenly there was the sound of fighting at an intersection. We immediately found the target and rushed in.

All the way down from this intersection is a straight line of more than 200 meters. Our speed increased unconsciously, but we didn't expect that there was a 180-degree hairpin turn at the end. We were sprinting at full speed and had no time to turn. Collided into a ball again. These damn golden walls will refract light. We can't see what the next intersection looks like at the intersection. We have to get in front to see clearly, but when we see it, it's too late to brake. This must be a deliberately designed structure, purely for causing trouble. It makes us afraid to speed up even though we can run fast.

After getting up again, I continued running, chasing closely all the way, and finally saw the Minotaur at the nth intersection. Bailang had activated his clones and split them into three parts. Together with Lingling's cooperation, he was trapping the tauren firmly in a slightly wider open space. If the tauren attacks Bailang, Bailang will turn around and run away. Anyway, he is so agile that the tauren can't even touch the sides. As for Lingling, she has the strongest attack power anyway, so she can just hit the Minotaur one by one, and the Minotaur won't even dare to attack after three or two. Lingling's attack is too high, and the gold will explode. 'The palace was shaken.

Seeing us coming, the tauren ran towards an exit with all his might. I quickly raised my hand and shot out the dragon tendon rope. The two rope heads just wrapped around the two horns, but this guy was too strong and he pulled me off Ye Ying. The few steel claws at the back quickly came up and wrapped their tentacles around me to help in the tug of war. No matter how strong the minotaur was, it would be impossible for me to run with the two steel claws, and he was immediately pulled down.

Scot saw the difficulty and rushed forward with the Ring Knights. The 11 Ring Knights tied the Minotaur into a rice dumpling with unimaginable speed. No matter how he traded, we still caught him.

Seeing that there was no hope, the tauren stopped struggling and said sadly: "Are you all sent here by my wife?"

"your wife?"

"It's the Lake Fairy in the Skeleton Forest."

Eagle smiled and said: "I didn't expect that our mission was to capture the escaped husband! Hahaha!"

Bai Ling knocked on the bull's head and said, "It's just you who delayed things. If you had gone back earlier, we wouldn't have had to go to such trouble."

The tauren immediately cried: "You don't know! I escaped because I couldn't live any longer. She always uses domestic violence, and I am just escaping!"

Rose burst out laughing when she heard this: "He is still a bitter lover! It's a pity that we need to exchange you for a token, so it's all in vain. Just come with us!"

The tauren's voice suddenly changed: "Are you really unwilling to be accommodating?"

Kristina smiled and said: "What's wrong? Are you still planning to continue running?"

The tauren calmed down and suddenly laughed. "Hmph! Do you think these ropes can tie me up? Ah...ah! Huh?...Ah...! Huh?" He struggled a few times without any response.

I smiled and patted his head: "You continue to make money? Why don't you make money anymore?"

He looked at me in surprise: "What kind of rope is this?"

Shura Ziyi said: "This is the elastic rope we specially produced. It has very good elasticity. Unless you have a way to make yourself 10 times bigger, it will keep pulling."

The tauren softened upon hearing this: "I admit defeat today!"

I snapped my fingers: "Scott, take him with you and we'll go back to hand in the mission."

"yes."

We were just getting ready to return when a serious problem arose. A large passage appeared in front of us, and what was even worse was that we didn’t know which one we came in from! I asked Rose guiltily: "This...? Where did we come in from?"

"Is this one?" Rose looked at the row of passages uncertainly.

Kristina quickly shouted: "Why do I remember that it seems to be that one?"

Bai Ling shook his head: "No, no, it should be this one."

It's over now, we're lost again!

I turned around and asked Scott and the others: "Does any of you know where we came in from?"

The 11 ring knights pointed in 6 directions. What's worse is that there are only 6 roads in total! We had completely swerved, and we had just remembered the chase and the fight, and no one had thought to write down the road!

Eagle blamed himself: "It's all my fault that I forgot to write down the road!"

I quickly comforted him: "You're not the only one who didn't remember it! The map reader in my hand originally had the function of recording maps, but I forgot to record it, let alone you!"

Rose interrupted our mutual consolation: "The focus now is to find the exit. This is not a peripheral area. The route is quite chaotic. The method of drawing marks is not suitable for use here. We must act together!"

Shura Ziyi suddenly asked the tauren next to him who was tied like a rice dumpling: "Which way leads to the exit?"

The tauren rolled his eyes and immediately said: "The one on your left."

"Okay, I've eliminated one, and one of the remaining five is an exit. The probability of guessing is higher." The Tauren will not tell the truth and help us. If we ask him which one is the exit, he must be pointing in the wrong direction. So what he said can be ruled out directly.

I looked at the remaining 5 paths: "It's not possible to guess like this! Bai Lang, can you smell the smell when we come in?"

Bailang shook his head: "You are right next to me, and the smell is covered up. How can I smell it? And the air here has a sour smell of metal powder, which makes my nose feel so uncomfortable!"

"I wonder if you can consider using your bugs?" Kristina asked.

"No. The rules of the competition prohibit the use of summons other than those listed in the registration form, otherwise you will be eliminated directly!"

Rose simply said: "Standing is not an option anyway, we might as well walk around and take a look!"

"That's all we can do now!"

We had no choice but to randomly choose one of the remaining 5 options. This was also the last option. But not long after walking, Rose suddenly said: "Why do I feel like we are going the wrong way?"

I looked at the forked roads around me: "There didn't seem to be so many intersections when I came in!"

"It seems that our five-choice one failed!" Eagle looked back at the way in: "Should we go back the way we came?"

I shook my head: "It's useless, this is not our problem." The dead Goth threw the Minotaur off the back of the armored dragon, and he screamed when he fell. I walked over and kicked him: "Are you deliberately going against us?"

"If you don't fight against me, why should I fight against you?"

The first time I saw the sharp-tongued tauren, I thought they were all idiots! "Then what do you want? To trap us here forever?"

"If you let me go, I'll let you go."

"Then I might as well spend my time with you!" Failure to get the token means failure of the mission!

Kristina didn't understand why I was 'forced' to ask the tauren. She walked over and asked, "Why ask him? Didn't we go the wrong way?"

Rose explained to me: "The road we chose at the beginning seemed to be the right one, because I saw blood on the road. That was the nosebleed from Ziri when we hit the wall when we turned."

"Then why is something wrong here again?"

"Because this guy has the ability to adjust the arrangement of the maze, he changed the path." I replied following Rose's words.

The tauren smiled and said, "Just understand. If you don't let me go, you will never get out. I can take you anywhere."

I smiled and said, "Did you know that there is something called torture to force a confession?"

The tauren also smiled and said, "Come on, I'm not afraid."

"Scott." I pointed at the tauren: "Enter him well, it's best not to leave any permanent damage."

Scott nodded: "Don't worry." Then he dragged the tauren to a turning alley, and then we heard super miserable screams coming louder and louder.

Kristina quickly pushed me: "Isn't this not good?"

Ying shook his head: "Ziri has no choice, Kristina, please don't bother him anymore."

I smiled and said: "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with this. Scott's method is called psychological punishment. It won't cause any harm, but the effect is very good."

Sure enough, after a while, Scot pulled the tauren out. "He said it."

I looked at the tauren: "Are you willing to say it?"

The tauren nodded: "I'll let you go."

Kristina immediately said: "Well, since you know how to modify the road, just drive a straight line to let us out."

The tauren shook his head and said: "My ability can only modify the maze route three times a day, and I can only modify a few gates each time. It cannot be modified casually. I have used up two opportunities just now, and now I'll activate it one last time and take you away."

"Then hurry up."

After the tauren modified the road for the last time, we started turning left and right according to the route he told us, but after a while we found something was wrong. I walked back and gave him a violent blow. "Where are you taking us?"

He laughed so loudly that he said: "You are almost at the center of the maze, and you will never get out. Hahahaha!"

"Do you still want to taste torture?"

"I'm not afraid of you." The tauren suddenly shouted: "Seal of freedom." He suddenly lit up and turned into a golden statue.

Ling shouted: "This is broken!"

"What's the matter?"

Ling explained: "This is a special seal. Its function is to seal yourself or those who voluntarily accept the seal. The Dark Temple usually seals the seriously injured generals on the battlefield in this way and sends them back to the temple for treatment. After being sealed, The injury will not worsen during this stage. This seal will not be released until 24 hours after it is activated, unless the user cancels the seal himself."

"Does that mean he won't be of any use within 24 hours?"

"That's almost it!"

"What a damn guy!" I kicked the Minotaur angrily, but unfortunately the sound of metal being kicked came from it. After sealing, this guy completely turns into gold, and it will take 24 hours before it turns into a living thing!

"What should we do now?" Shura Ziyi asked.

"I don't know." I shook my head: "Maybe the only way is to move forward!"

The off-field commentator 'Lu'lu'lu'ka'lu' is reporting on the situation of our team: "Dear viewers, the Frost Rose Alliance team is currently in big trouble. They are deep in the maze, and the only way out is The tauren has even sealed himself, it seems the problem is serious!"

The situation on the other side is much better. The mission of the Holy Spear Alliance is very simple. Although they received the mission later than us, they have completed the mission and are rushing back to the place where the mission was sent to exchange for tokens. The spectators who bought them to win were all moved to tears, and those spectators who saw that they were about to become the team with the highest degree of completion were extremely excited.

Hongyue doesn't care much about the progress of the Holy Spear Alliance at this time. She is more nervous about whether we can leave this maze. As long as we can leave safely, even if the speed is slower, at least there is hope, but if we are trapped in it, we will escape. Not coming is another matter.

"Vice President, President, will they be trapped in the maze?" A member of our guild asked Hongyue.

Hongyue shook her head: "I don't know, I hope they can leave safely!"

At this time, we were bumping aimlessly in the maze. Suddenly, the passage came to the end, and a large square appeared in front of us.

"Have we arrived at the center of the maze?" Shura Ziyi asked.

I looked at the square and nodded: "We are most likely to reach the center!"

Bai Ling said half-jokingly: "That's great. At least if you go out from here, no matter which way you go, you will be closer to the exit." This is the center of the maze. Leaving here will definitely be close to the exit, but there is nothing wrong with it. It’s just meaning!

"What is this?" Kristina took a fancy to a yellow crystal ball floating in the air in the center of the square.

Xiaochun jumped off Xiaoxue's back and walked to the crystal ball and touched it: "This seems to be a solidified ball. Master, try smashing it and see."

"Smash it? This thing won't explode, right?"

"The explosion won't be very powerful."

"Okay." I raised my hand and punched the crystal ball. Then there was a crack on the crystal ball, and then the maze began to shake. The cracks continued to expand and become more numerous, and the entire crystal ball began to tremble violently and rotate.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound like broken glass, and the entire crystal ball exploded into countless small fragments scattered on the ground. At the same time, a light yellow impact halo quickly spread to the surroundings. The speed of the halo is quite fast, and it can pass through walls without any obstruction. I saw that the area on the ground swept by the flash began to slowly fade. After a while, the surrounding golden square turned into a stone square, and the original walls of the maze also changed from gold to stone.

"what happened?"

Xiaochun said: "The solidified ball was shattered, and the true colors of this place came out."

"I really didn't expect that all this gold turned out to be stone. I thought it was real gold!" Ying thrust his lance into the ground and continued: "We are even more miserable now. It was still a golden cage at the beginning. , this time it has turned into a stone cell. The level has dropped, and I haven’t gained any benefits! You... say... why are you looking at me? "

I walked over and pushed him away, then lay on the ground and looked at his knight's gun that penetrated into the ground. "This...this...? Hahahahaha! God help me!"

"What's wrong?" Eagle still didn't understand what was going on.

Rose finally understood what I meant. "Look at your gun."

Eagle looked at his spear strangely: "What's wrong?"

Bai Ling also understood, and she helped us and said: "Your gun is inserted into the ground!"

"So what?"

"What's wrong?" Bai Ling gritted his teeth and said, "This place was originally in an invincible state, but your gun was inserted into the ground. This means that the invincible state no longer exists."

Eagle finally understood: "Haha! Now there is a way to leave!"

The stone labyrinth is not invincible. After knowing this, everything becomes simple. Just move forward in a straight line and tear down the walls when you encounter them. It is not my city anyway, so destroy it!

The audience outside the stadium were almost dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Some people who bet on our team started to get excited. They were excited that there was hope for betting again. When they saw us trapped in the maze, they thought there was no chance, but they didn't expect that we actually lifted the invincibility of the maze and came out in a straight line.

In order to vent our grievances, we demolished almost half of the maze before leaving the Golden Maze, but now it no longer lives up to its name. Because not only was the golden maze no longer made of gold, but the row of big holes also made it impossible for him to form a maze anymore.

When we brought the self-sealed tauren back to the lake, Fairy Fairy was very happy to express that she was very satisfied with our work. When we told her that we helped her dismantle the maze and help her get rid of her troubles forever, she was even more satisfied. He was smiling from ear to ear. We completed the task, and she happily gave us half of the token.

What we have in our hands is the left half of the half wooden man, and the fairy gave us the other part. The two half-length wooden figures merged together to form a complete wooden figure, which looked very lifelike. With this, you can go straight to the portal. As long as you leave here, you will be victorious.
