Chapter 507 Map Opening
After exchanging the portable map from the Endless Store, Yuan Lao also sent a message to others, explaining that there was a clue to the exit in the store. After more than ten hours, no one sent a message.
Now there is a message suddenly, it should be important intelligence.
"It was sent by Mao Xintong." The source of the information can be determined by the talisman paper. After Yuan Lao activated it, the talisman paper lit up a light and projected a video.
The video was facing a dead end. In the depths of the alley, which was only a few meters wide, a group of strange monsters passed by in a line, but they did not move along the alley. Their team direction was perpendicular to the alley, and they walked out of the right wall and drilled into the opposite wall as if nothing had happened.
Passing through the wall? Aren't the walls of the maze impassable? From this perspective, these monsters seem to be phantoms without entities.
The impact was not over yet. Two or three seconds later, the camera began to move to the left at high speed and soon came to a corner dozens of meters away. From the corner, you can see that the team of ghosts continued to move forward, penetrated the wall and drilled out, and drilled into the opposite wall without any hindrance.
Finally, the camera changed direction. The wall was endless. It should be impossible to get around it. You can't see where the team is going.
The picture ended here.
"What kind of monsters are these?" Ma Qiao asked in confusion: "How did they get through the wall? Where is the team going? What are they doing? Why didn't Mao Xintong say a word, not even an explanation?"
"She shouldn't be able to say it." Yuan Lao frowned and said: "Look at her camera, it's obviously a bit sneaky, and there is almost no footsteps when she moves... Those monsters should be very sensitive to sound. If she makes a sound, it will cause trouble."
"Then what can you see just by sending a picture?" Sun Xiaowei pouted.
"These monsters are the problem themselves." Luo Jun touched his chin. "The rules emphasize that walls cannot be passed through, but they were passed through in groups. This should be some kind of hint..."
"You mean, the direction these teams are heading may be the exit?" Sun Xiaowei said in surprise.
"It may not be the exit, but it must be a special place." Luo Jun shook his head: "And it may not be the direction they are heading, it may also be the direction they are coming from..."
Sun Xiaowei shook her head: "But the problem is that the maze looks the same everywhere. Just looking at this video, you can't tell the specific direction at all, let alone the direction they are heading."
"Direction..." Luo Jun frowned, remembering that he had seen an absolute compass in the brochure of the Endless Store. Such a small prop costs more than 2,000 yuan. Luo Jun didn't see any use for it, so he didn't consider exchanging it. Now it seems that the ability to indicate direction in the maze is also very important. No wonder it is so expensive.
"Anyway, this is a clue." Yuan Lao clapped his hands: "If you encounter a similar situation, you can consider investigating it. Now let's continue exploring."
Several people nodded and were about to leave when Luo Jun's ears suddenly moved: "Wait, there is something ahead."
"Huh?" Everyone became alert when they heard it, and took up their weapons to be on guard. After a while, they finally heard a rustling sound from the front. Looking up, they saw a thin and long human-like figure walking out from the depths of the maze.
The maze was about five or six meters high. The figure's head was against the ceiling, and it was even tilted.
Although it has a body structure similar to that of humans, it is gray and white, and you can't even see hair and wrinkles. It is smooth all over, and looks like a game model without texture mapping. This thing may be a little funny in the game, but it is really scary to see it in reality, especially in such a dim maze.
"What monster?" Ma Qiao snorted coldly, picked up a shotgun, and fired at the ghost. With two bangs, the bullets made more than ten pits on the ghost's smooth skin, but soon, the pits flattened and pushed out the bullets.
"The shooting is ineffective?" Ma Qiao was stunned. Sun Xiaowei, who was standing next to him, put her hands together and transformed into a robot as tall as a person. Her hands changed into the structure of a chainsaw and rushed towards the monster.
The monster seemed not to see the robot and walked forward on its own. The chainsaws on the robot's hands turned at high speed and cut the monster's thigh!
Hiss hiss hiss!
A huge cutting sound rang out, and the monster's legs were twisted and deformed under the cutting of the sharp saw blade, and were stretched and twisted into the shaft until the machine got stuck and finally stopped.
Looking at the monster again, it seemed that it didn't notice the attack and continued to move forward slowly. The cutting robot was entangled by the flesh on his legs and couldn't get away. It was hung on the monster's legs and dragged forward all the way.
"So difficult to deal with?" Everyone was stunned.
"This kind of soft structure that can be stretched at will is extremely resistant to physical attacks." Yuan Lao frowned: "You retreat!"
The three people immediately retreated behind Yuan Lao, and saw him wearing the Bagua knuckles. When he touched his fists, a thick column of fire gushed out, filling the entire corridor in front and instantly engulfing the monster!
The raging flames lasted for more than ten seconds, roasting the cheeks of several people behind him, and the temperature in the corridor rose sharply, far exceeding that of a sauna room.
Feeling that it was almost done, Yuan Lao finally removed the column of fire. In the middle of the hot corridor, the tall and thin human was charred and smoking, and the robot wrapped around his thigh had disappeared.
But the monster seemed to want to continue moving forward. He took another step forward with stiff steps, but as soon as he moved, his ankle could not bear the weight and broke. His tall body suddenly fell down with a crash and fell to pieces. .
"I thought it was such a powerful monster..." Ma Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you find the weakness, it's not that difficult to deal with."
"It's not that simple!" Luo Jun frowned and said: "Lao Yuan's attack intensity just now is quite high. As an elemental sect, I can feel it. Its intensity far exceeds all the elemental sect masters I have seen!"
Luo Jun's words were half true and half false. Although he was not an elemental sect, he had experienced the power of the Bagua Zhihu. Even if Mr. Yuan did not use all his strength in the maze, this monster could survive for so long and still retain a human form. It's enough to show its strength!
"Hey, look, what is that?" Sun Xiaowei suddenly pointed at the monster's smashed corpse, in which there was a faint golden light.
"It seems to be a treasure..." Ma Qiao was about to step forward, but was stopped by Mr. Yuan: "Endless maze, be careful. Xiaowei, use your ability to go up and have a look."
Sun Xiaowei nodded, controlled her mechanical spider Xiao Hei to step forward, peeled off the monster's charred corpse, and picked out a... gold ingot?
"What is this?" After confirming that there was no danger, several people took the gold ingot and started studying it.
"Remember what the businessman said, you can get currency by killing monsters." Luo Jun analyzed: "Could this be it?"
"Isn't it money?" Sun Xiaowei asked curiously.
"Maybe I can exchange this for it, put it away first." As he said that, Luo Jun put the gold ingot into the equipment bag, and they continued to move forward along the maze.
I have to say that the experience of this maze is different from any mission Luo Jun has experienced before. Other tasks are like a sharp sword pointing at you behind you, forcing you to keep moving forward and race against time to complete the task.
But this time the rhythm of the maze was too strange. When I first saw the introduction, I thought it would be a process of being constantly harassed by various mechanisms and monsters. As a result, most of the time in the maze, in addition to various forks and up and down stairs, , basically you won’t encounter anything...
But the key point is that everyone knows that this is a Chaos mission, and it is said to be an extremely difficult mission that no one has ever cleared. If the monsters really rush up one after another, it will be dangerous, but at least they will feel at ease. If you keep going forward, you won't even see a ghost, which makes you uneasy and makes you think more easily. Especially the relatively weak Ma Qiao and Xiao Wei were on tenterhooks all the way.
As for Luo Jun, he is now very confident in his own strength, but the problem is that he followed because there is a high probability that Boss Yuan will die in this mission. Although he was not too worried about his own safety, he always paid attention to Mr. Yuan, for fear of overlooking any dangerous factors, but he was the most worried among them.
Amid such fear, the group of people walked for more than ten hours. More than thirty hours, almost a day and a half, had passed since they entered this maze.
But Luo Jun's secret dice has never been refreshed, which means that the time in the outside world has not even passed three hours...
But only he knows this and cannot tell others.
In a relatively spacious room, several people ate some more. Almost one-third of ten days' worth of supplies was consumed. Firstly, everyone is worried about not encountering new supply points, so they have been saving money. Secondly, there is no fighting along the way, they are just rushing. For cultivators, the physical consumption is quite low, and they do not need to eat much.
"When will this end..." Ma Qiao complained: "I would say, open the map and see what is nearby. It will also help us get more information."
"You can open the map..." After such a long time, Luo Jun became a little irritable. "But based on previous experience, there may not be any encounter points within this kilometer... After we finish driving, we need to move as fast as possible to make the map sweep as much area as possible."
"That's no problem!" Ma Qiao, as a martial arts sect, is very confident in speed: "You are an elemental sect, can you keep up with us?"
"This is easy to handle." Luo Jun said with a smile: "I will take the lead with the map, can you just follow me?"
"No problem." Both Ma Qiao and Sun Xiaowei subconsciously regarded Luo Jun as the one with the lowest cultivation level, and did not take him seriously at all. They agreed happily. Only Mr. Yuan smiled and said nothing.
After simply moving his muscles, Luo Jun took out his portable map: "Are you ready?"
"Okay!" Ma Qiao replied confidently.
"Okay!" Luo Jun nodded and activated the map. In front of it, a spherical three-dimensional projection suddenly appeared, depicting an intricate maze structure. A light spot in the center represented the location of the map.
A few people took a quick glance and found that there was no special place within the radius of this kilometer.
Sure enough, the maze was much larger and more spacious than Luo Jun imagined.
"Charge!" Luo Jun gave the order and ran out first.
"Hey, it's pretty fast!" Seeing Luo Jun sprinting like a cheetah, Ma Qiao admired and followed closely. Mr. Yuan followed closely behind him. Although he was older, his physical ability was top-notch in the entire cultivation world due to his solid foundation and cultivation. It was no problem to keep up with Luo Jun, who was in trouble.
Sun Xiaowei, on the other hand, was not known for her physical strength, and she felt that she could not keep up with the others when she ran. However, she also had a way, and she used her ability to transform into a bicycle and rode to catch up with the others.
The structure of a bicycle is relatively simple, and it is not difficult for Sun Xiaowei, who is good at simulating mechanical bodies, to make one. Even though her physical strength is a little poor, she is a cultivator after all. The maze road is flat, without even a slope, and she can barely keep up with the others by pedaling the bicycle very fast.
As they ran, they suddenly found a special mark on the three-dimensional map in front of Luo Jun!
"There is something!" Ma Qiao reminded: "Stop and take a look!"
"It's a monster, there is nothing to stop..." Luo Jun said without turning his head.
"You can kill monsters for money!"
"Yes, but it's not worth wasting time!" Luo Jun said, "I'll write it down. I'll come back to find it after it's over!"
"Remember... remember?" Ma Qiao said in disbelief: "Such a complicated maze, you thought you were a computer..."
Who knew that Luo Jun raised his hand and revealed a small camera.
"Although it's just an ordinary-level treasure, it has unlimited power, can take photos and videos, and the picture is clear and reliable. The only disadvantage is that when you travel through the world, the information recorded in the previous world will be deleted."
"Is there such a thing?" The three of them were stunned, but since they had a record, there was no reason to waste precious time for a monster, so they could only follow Luo Jun and continue to run wildly.
The spherical map kept refreshing, and soon, one encounter point after another appeared on the screen, with monsters, mechanisms, relics and shops.
There are more encounter points than Luo Jun imagined, but if there is no instruction, if you run around in the maze, you may pass by it above your head or under your feet and can't find it at all.
This five thousand yuan is well spent!
As time went by, the camera recorded one place after another. Luo Jun was happy, but Ma Qiao behind him was a little overwhelmed.
Although the speed led by Luo Jun was not Ma Qiao's limit, it was not something he could maintain for a long time. He could run for ten or twenty minutes continuously and still maintain his speed. If it took longer, he would be a little tired.
But as a martial arts faction, he was embarrassed to mention slowing down. At first, he thought that when Luo Jun slowed down himself, or even took out a means of transportation, he would have a reason to mention slowing down. But he didn't expect that Luo Jun, an elemental faction, could maintain such a high speed without even breathing, and ran all the way for more than half an hour?
What kind of physical strength is this?
At this time, there was a sudden panting sound. Ma Qiao turned around and saw that Sun Xiaowei was pedaling the bicycle with great effort and was already sweating...
Ma Qiao's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted: "Let's slow down, the little girl can't hold on any longer..."
Luo Jun heard it and looked back and found that Sun Xiaowei was indeed tired. This girl's foundation was not solid, and she was not a fighter. It was really difficult for him to keep up with this speed.
"Then let's..." Luo Jun was about to suggest slowing down, but Sun Xiaowei suddenly glared at him: "No, I can't let you all be dragged down by me!"
As she said that, she started to move her vitality, and the bicycle under her crotch began to deform. In just a few seconds, it became an electric bike. Now she didn't need to pedal anymore, and she could keep up with it with just a twist of her little hand.
"Good job, senior sister!" Luo Jun praised her and threw the energy storage spirit stone to help Sun Xiaowei replenish her consumed energy. Xiaowei took a sip and her face became rosier. She accelerated and kept pace with Luo Jun, leaving only Ma Qiao to fight the wolf at the end of the team...
"Sister... How about you change one for me too?"
"No need for an electric one, a bicycle will do..."
