Chapter 503 Endless Maze

"Reduced?" After hearing Yuan Lingmin's words, everyone was shocked: "How much has it decreased? Is it obvious?"

Yuan Lingmin nodded: "It's obvious, although you can still see the look of death, but it's very faint..." Then she looked at Luo Jun: "His look of death is lighter than grandpa's..."

"So powerful?!" Everyone was shocked, and they looked at Luo Jun with different eyes. Yuan Sijie is the elder with the deepest cultivation in the clan, one step away from the peak. He can't be shaken by Yuan Lao's look of death. What kind of ability does this kid have?

"Xiao Luo, do you have any special abilities?" Yuan Sizhe asked curiously.

"My level is just like that..." Luo Jun waved his hand: "I guess it just fits this mission?"

He said it easily, but Luo Jun was a little confused in his heart. Yuan Lao is also a Class A mission now. He has peak combat power, and he is also at the top level of the peak now. The two of them joined forces to participate in the mission, but they still showed the look of death. What kind of mission is that?

But there is no point in considering those things. He can't let his master take risks alone anyway.

As for Old Yuan, although he didn't want Luo Jun to follow, he had to follow because his treasures had been used. He just repeatedly reminded him to prioritize self-protection when encountering danger and not to put himself in danger for taking care of him.

The preparation time passed quickly, and under the gaze of a group of relatives, the figures of the two slowly disappeared.

"This is..."

After the surrounding scenery stabilized, the two appeared in a circular room. This room is about five or six meters high and about fifteen or sixteen meters in diameter. There are twelve tall doorways around it. At a glance, the situation behind each doorway is different.

Some are followed by wide and straight corridors, some are followed by curved passages, some are followed by another room, and some are simply stairwells with steps going up and down.

In addition to Old Yuan and Luo Jun, seven people appeared in the room.

"Is it... Old Yuan?" Luo Jun was still observing the environment, and someone had already run to Old Yuan, looking excited.

"You are..." Old Yuan looked at the middle-aged man in his fifties and a little fat in front of him, with a blank face. The man introduced himself: "Don't you remember me? I'm Li Ying. I used to study at Ningdong College. You taught me?"

"Li Ying?" Yuan Lao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. His weathered face slowly merged with the young man of the past.

"It's you? How did you become like this?" Yuan Lao was surprised. "I remember you were thin and handsome back then, and many girls chased you?"

"How can I not change..." Li Ying smiled a little embarrassedly. It's been 30 years: "You are no longer the young man of the past..."

Yuan Lao also sighed: "I haven't seen you for so many years. What are you busy with now?"

"I work in the Southeast Branch and am an ordinary sheriff..." Li Ying smiled.

"Being able to enter the A-level mission is not ordinary." Yuan Lao shook his head: "Your talent back then was not top-notch, but it was not bad. I remember that you broke through the state of concentration when you graduated? After so many years, you are still an ordinary sheriff?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Lao looked at the mercenary and smooth temperament that Li Ying inadvertently revealed on his face.

"These years... have passed..."

"Oh, let's not talk about it..." Li Ying waved his hand.

At this time, several other people were also attracted. Yuan Lao was still well-known in the cultivation circle. Even if they had never seen him, they had at least heard of his name. Everyone came to greet him and introduced themselves.

"My name is Zheng Yu, the security captain of the Northwest Branch of the Element School." This is a thin, capable man with a buzz cut.

"My name is Mao Xintong, the explorer of the Southwest Branch of the Insight School." This is a woman in her thirties with a capable temperament.

"My name is Ma Qiao, a casual cultivator, a martial arts school." This is a burly, broad-shouldered man.

"My name is Ling Jian, a manipulator." This is a young man in his twenties with a stern face.

"My name is Sun Xiaowei, a creator... I'm still a student, a sophomore at Dongchuan College." This is a long-legged girl wearing a half-face mask... Hmm? These legs... Sun Xiaowei?

Luo Jun took a closer look and found that the mask she was wearing was quite similar to the Midnight Mask. The difference was that this mask was obviously a kind of technological treasure, and the eyes were similar to goggles. Judging from the exposed lower half of her face, it was really Sun Xiaowei!

I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance?

Luo Jun couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Sun Xiaowei noticed his gaze, turned her head to look over, looked up and down, and then turned her head away.

Through the goggles, Luo Jun could feel the other party's disdain.

"My name is Zhuge Zi, a student of Puhuashan College." This is a girl with shoulder-length hair.

"Are you from the Zhuge family?"

"I've heard of you. You're a freshman this year, right? I've seen posts about you on the forum!"

"You're doing a Class A mission at such a young age. It's amazing that a hero is born young..."

Others praised Zhuge Zi's introduction, and Sun Xiaowei, who was standing by, was a little indignant. What do you mean a hero is born young? I'm about the same age as her, and I also say I'm a student, so why doesn't anyone praise me?

This can't be blamed entirely on everyone. The enrollment range of the Explorer Academy can be relaxed to a maximum of 30 years old, so even if they are both students, the age difference may be more than 10 years.

Zhuge Zi is a freshman. A genius from a big family like her can be sure that she will not be too late to enter school. She must be under 20 years old. In addition, she is relatively petite and looks childish, so she is naturally regarded as a child.

Although Sun Xiaowei is not yet 20 years old, she is tall and has long legs, with a mature charm. In addition, her mask covers most of her face, so her age is hard to tell. People instinctively regard her as 27 or 28 years old, close to 30 years old...

Sun Xiaowei was dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't say it directly. She just pouted and sulked aside. Luo Jun noticed her mood, came over and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are also very good. You are only a sophomore, you should be about the same age as me, and you look like a mature explorer!"

Sun Xiaowei looked at Luo Jun with some surprise: "You have a good vision!"

Luo Jun laughed: "I admire the ability of the Creation School. I think that being able to create objects and even creatures out of thin air can be said to be the most magical faction!"

Sun Xiaowei felt better when she heard that he also affirmed her faction. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder: "Just because you are so good at talking, don't worry, tell me if you have any difficulties in the mission, I will protect you!"

"Thank you, senior sister!" Luo Jun replied with a smile.

He took care of Sun Xiaowei's emotions so much, not just because they had fought side by side before. Don't forget that before Yuan Lao came in, Yuan Lingmin saw that he was about to die. The threat of death may come from the mechanical monsters in the mission, or from teammates... Luo Jun had done missions with Sun Xiaowei before, and knew that this girl was not bad, but her emotions were not stable and she was a little willful. If she really did something stupid because of a bad mood, it might become the fuse that killed Yuan Lao.

It is still unclear what the possible cause of Yuan Lao's death is, but Luo Jun wants to kill all unstable factors as much as possible!

"By the way, this guy hasn't been introduced yet, what's your name?" Everyone has finished introducing themselves and turned their eyes to Luo Jun.

"My name is Luo Jun, a freshman at Ningdong College, an elementalist... But I'm not used to my ability just after the breakthrough, so I mainly fight in close combat, hahaha."

The label of the elementalist has been posted by Lao Ai, and Luo Jun can only play the role of a character, but he can't use any of the elementalist's abilities, so he can only find a reason for himself first.

"Hahaha, the elemental card likes close combat, a close combat mage?" Everyone laughed, especially Sun Xiaowei, who laughed the loudest.

Amidst the laughter, the ceiling of the house began to change, and the rules of this mission slowly emerged.

Welcome to the Endless Maze

Main Mission: Find the Exit

Mission Time Limit: None

Mission Type: Cooperative Challenge

Mission Level: Class A

Mission Description: This is a strange maze located outside of time and space. People or other creatures often come here accidentally due to various accidents and coincidences. People know very little about this maze. No one knows where it came from, how it was born, how big it is, and how many floors it has. The only thing that can be determined is that once you come in, it is almost impossible to leave.

The floor and walls of the maze are made of inert materials with an additional protective layer that can isolate space teleportation abilities and cannot be passed through using space abilities.

The maze is a multi-layer structure with almost infinite branches and rooms, but there is only one exit.

There are various monsters, mechanisms, supplies, shops, guidance, etc. distributed in the maze, which will also trigger some abnormal situations, requiring players to carefully identify and respond.

The time in the maze is severely distorted and is not synchronized with the outside world. The specific proportion varies in different locations.

Side quest: Collect relics.

Mission description: Many people who were lost in the maze before have stayed here forever. They lie in unknown corners and have spent countless years. Find them, pick up their treasure boxes, and choose to activate different functions after consumption.

Function 1: You can get random supplies immediately.

Function 2: You can randomly get a treasure in the treasure box, which can only be used in the maze and will be automatically retracted when you leave the maze.

Function 3: You can teleport yourself and the surrounding players to a random location in the maze.

Function 4: Make a powerful attack.

Function 5: Get a hint based on the current situation.

Hint: The treasure box found in the maze cannot be opened with a lock-picking treasure.

Death in the maze is real death.

Now, use all your abilities and wisdom to escape from this endless maze.

Note: Now that you are here, don't be so anxious to leave.

…………

After reading the mission rules, everyone was a little surprised.

"A mission without a time limit? Doesn't that mean that if you can't get out, you will be trapped here and die?"

"Good guy, you don't even give me a chance to erase the process?"

"Then think about it from another perspective. As long as you can survive here, everything will be fine?"

"How can it be that easy!"

Everyone started talking about it. Old Yuan looked at the rules and nodded: "So that's why Xiao Min saw my death..."

Luo Jun was stunned and looked at Old Yuan: "Master... Old Yuan? Have you heard of this mission?"

"The Endless Maze is a rare, currently confirmed, unsolvable Class A mission."

"Unsolvable?" Everyone was shocked when they heard it. Sun Xiaowei shivered a little and said: "Is this maze so difficult? Is there any terrifying monster hidden?"

"Senior, don't be afraid, let's listen to what Mr. Yuan has to say first..." Luo Jun hurriedly tried to persuade her while secretly comforting her.

"Who... who is scared..." Sun Xiaowei said harshly: "I have a lot of experience in missions, I'm just a little surprised... But you, a freshman, have just entered Class A... don't be frightened by this difficulty. "

"It's true..." Luo Jun nodded: "This is my first Grade A mission, and it's definitely not as good as my senior sister..."

"It's good to know..." Sun Xiaowei pretended to be calm, but her heart was already boiling: It's not the first time for anyone. Why is it the first time for Class A to encounter such a difficult task? Even Mr. Yuan said there is no solution...

"Don't worry..." Mr. Yuan advised: "According to the known information, the monsters in this maze are not very strong... In other words, powerful monsters are very rare and difficult to encounter. Its real difficulty is still In the mission mechanism itself.”

"Can't find the exit...right?" Zhuge Zi already realized the problem.

Mr. Yuan nodded: "It is impossible to verify exactly how many people have entered this endless maze, but what is certain is that no one has found the exit yet."

"How is this determined?" Mao Xintong frowned: "Since no one has ever gone out, where did the information about this mission come from?"

"Just because no one has found the exit does not mean that no one has gone out." Li Ying explained: "There are more than one unsolvable tasks. Many tasks cannot be cleared by conventional means due to special mechanisms or extremely high difficulty. But Other methods, such as relying on special treasures to be reborn and returning to the main world, or simply triggering the erasure process, can also be used to escape, but the evaluation will definitely be failed. "

"That's it..." Sun Xiaowei nodded and said, "So, we won't necessarily be trapped here?"

"No..." Mr. Yuan shook his head: "The endless maze is different from other known unsolvable tasks. The only survivor confirmed that the erasure mechanism will not be triggered in this maze, and rebirth-type treasures can be used. , but due to the isolation of space, even if ordinary Noble Phantasms can be reborn, they cannot be transported back to the main world. After rebirth, they can only continue to explore this maze. "

"So, where did this sole survivor come from?" Luo Jun asked curiously.

Mr. Yuan looked at Luo Jun and smiled: "The only survivor is called Caroline. She is one of the five elders of the Hell Creek family and the youngest elder. Of course, when she was trapped in the endless maze, Not yet an elder, not even at the peak.”

"Hell Creek Family..." Luo Jun frowned: "Could it be that..."

Mr. Yuan nodded: "That guy was able to escape because of the Hell Creek family's treasure, the Rebirth Blood Pool!"
