Chapter 70: The Underground Labyrinth (I)

Higg, who entered meditation, didn't know how long it took, his magic began to recover gradually, and he was surprised to find that the recovery speed of mana was much faster than before, and the mana value increased a lot, so it would take a long time to fully recover the mana, so when he recovered most of the mana, he had to stop and start to heal himself, using the healing technique of water magic to clean the venom of the wound first, and then restore the vitality of the wound. Higg tried to use the Phoenix Nirvana Technique, but he couldn't use it, this spell that I don't know how many levels of magic skills it is, is completely useless here, and sure enough, as Nicole said, this is a cursed land, and it is impossible to use all magic skills except for the first order.

All the wounded soldiers, including Nicole, with the help of Higg, quickly healed their wounds and almost completely regained their combat effectiveness.

Rogson walked over and said to Higg: "Young marshal, this place is known as one of the four forbidden areas of Shenlong Island, there must be something weird, we must leave as soon as possible!" ”

"General Rogson, where do you think the exit will be?" Higg asked.

Rogson replied, "I don't know, but legend has it that the people who entered the Sin Sin Sinkhole never went out, and it's hard to say if there was an exit!" ”

Higg smiled bitterly and said, "Let's take one step at a time, there will always be a way!" ”

Rogson and Snorlin put the team in order, Higg led the way in front, Daniel and Nicole were behind Higg, both of them had recovered more than half of their magic, and although Nicole's injuries had not fully recovered, there was no problem at all in keeping up with the team.

Three ravines, Higg chose the middle one and led the team forward.

The road in the four sinful sinkholes is very strange, on both sides are stone walls formed by the Gobi three or four meters high, and the road is in the middle of the two stone walls, all the way, the width of the road, the height of the stone wall does not change at all. It's just that there are a lot of curves in the road, and there are also a lot of forks, and Higg has no choice, so he just chooses a direction and goes all the way with his own feelings at the fork, and turns around, and then he can't even make out the direction.

"There's movement ahead, be on alert!" Higg reminded Rogson.

Snorring immediately stopped in front of Higg, and the soldiers behind him also formed a defensive formation and waited for it.

Three figures suddenly appeared at the fork in front of them, and the figure was more than one person tall, and the strange thing was that the heads of these three figures were all huge bull heads, but they were human bodies, and their feet were in the shape of cow hooves.

"Minotaur, attack now!" Snorlin screamed in horror, and the Minotaur, who had not noticed them, spotted Higg's team at this time and rushed quickly and savagely.

Seeing the bullhead rushing towards him desperately and quickly, Higg immediately applied a slowing magic skill to the minotaur in front, and Daniel and Nicole reacted quickly enough to apply the slowing skill to the corresponding position. The speed of the three minotaurs immediately slowed down, brushed and brushed, and several arrows shot at the minotaur's body, shooting into the minotaur's strong body, but the minotaur did not suffer much damage at all except for being held back, and continued to rush towards Higg.

Snorlin and several swordsmen swarmed up and quickly slashed around the minotaur. The minotaur fought back, his strong body, holding a huge axe in his hand, and fighting hard with the swordsmen. Although the minotaur had no armor on its body, and its strong body was stabbed several times, it did not lie down. Higg had seen Snowlin's skills, and he was also embarrassed in front of these minotaurs. Higg, Daniel, and Nicole all shot arrows of the first-order magic skill and shot them at the Minotaur, who mooed angrily and was inspired to fight with great fighting spirit.

After a hard battle, although in the end the minotaur was killed by all the guards under the leadership of Snowlin, except for Snorlin himself, all the swordsmen were injured, some were cut by axes, some were directly kicked by the hooves of the powerful minotaur, and some were even injured by the double horns of the minotaur, which was extremely tragic and made everyone feel uneasy.

"It's good that there aren't many of these guys, otherwise we would be more than lucky!" When Rogson stepped forward to check the soldier's injury, he secretly rejoiced, he knew that his men were all soldiers who had survived a hundred battles, and they were all the best of the best, but they were so embarrassed by the three minotaurs, which showed how terrible these guys were.

It's good to have a magician in the team, especially Higg, a demon who has comprehended the origin of the water system, and it is simply handy to treat external injuries, and after a while, all the swordsmen have basically recovered as before, which surprised and surprised Rogson and Snowlin.

After another hour's rest, the team continued to advance under the leadership of Higg.

"Strange!" Nicole exclaimed, "We seem to be turning back again!" ”

Higg and the others carefully looked around, and found that this place was indeed where they had come not long ago, but because the roads and stone walls here were similar, they didn't notice it, but it was Nicole, who was as careful as a hair, who discovered it first.

"Labyrinth!" Daniel exclaimed, "This is an underground labyrinth!" ”

"What underground labyrinth?" Higg asked.

Daniel thought for a moment and said, "My mother used to tell me an ancient legend about the underground labyrinth, a powerful underground lord built a huge labyrinth underground in order to imprison the minotaur, and imprisoned many minotaurs in the labyrinth, but I didn't expect this legend to be true. ”

"So what do you mean is that this sin sinkhole is a prison at all, and there is no exit?" Higg asked.

"I don't know about this!" Daniel said with a shrug.

"No, there should be an exit!" Nicole said, "Our Alchemy Kingdom and Shenlong Island have gone through hundreds of years of war, and there is a lot of information about the participation of Minotaur warriors, if there is no exit from this labyrinth, then where do those Minotaur warriors come from?" ”

"So you think this isn't just a prison, it's a minotaur's lair?" Rogson asked.

"It should be like this, the minotaur breeds here, and occasionally the minotaur breaks through the maze and goes out from the exit, and then is captured and domesticated by the people of Shenlong Island!"

"So there are a lot of minotaurs here?" Daniel also asked in horror.

Everyone didn't speak, no one wanted to admit this fact, in the maze, the exit is hard to find, but there will be a large number of minotaurs, wouldn't it be certain to die?

"Young marshal!" Rogson spoke first, "What's the solution?" ”

Higg said, "Staying where you are is a dead end, let's go first and see if we find anything!" ”

Along the way, I really encountered several waves of minotaurs, but they were generally threes and threes, and I didn't see more than three, but fortunately, everyone was able to deal with it, and there were no serious injuries, but the time for healing and recuperation increased a lot, and the speed of travel was greatly affected.

"Higg, you can't go on like this!" "We've been gone for two days, and the crossbowmen are running out of arrows, and they're running out of food, so we'll have to think of something else," said Nicole. ”

Higg knew that what Nicole said was the truth, but Rogson and Snorling didn't tell Higg directly, so they beckoned everyone over and said, "Have you noticed it, every time we encounter with the Minotaur, we are the first to discover and attack, and those Minotaurs are all passively attacked!" ”

"What do you mean, the young marshal, that the minotaurs didn't even notice us?" Snowlin asked in surprise.

"It's very likely that if we don't take the initiative to attack, the minotaurs in the maze will probably treat us as part of the maze, and they only have the route of the maze in their minds, and they don't care about anything around them at all, I think so!" Higg analyzed, "I mean, the next time we encounter a minotaur, we can try to only defend, not attack, and see what the effect is!" ”

Rogson said, "Young marshal, wouldn't it be too risky to do this?" If we can't strike first, we will be very passive! ”

"General!" Higg raised his voice and said, "I believe you know the current situation better than I do, we can't always fight the minotaur, that will make us tired for those guys who can't finish fighting, as long as we are fifty percent sure, we can only take this risk, because we have no choice!" ”

"General Rogson, don't hesitate, the young marshal is right!" "In the current situation, as long as we have a glimmer of hope, this risk is worth taking!" ”

"Okay, that's it!" Rogson no longer hesitated and made decisive decisions.

Higg continued to lead the group through the labyrinth, and after a few curves, they found that they were back where they were, and they gradually lost their patience, and walked in the maze for two days without seeing any hope of getting out.

Suddenly, three more minotaurs appeared in front of them, walking towards everyone. According to the original plan, everyone did not make a sound, lined up in a defensive formation, and held their breath. Sure enough, several minotaurs were unaware and walked slowly past Higg and the others, without any intention of attacking.

"Hahaha!" When the minotaur was far away, everyone laughed on the spot, these minotaurs with well-developed limbs and simple minds were simply too funny.

"Young marshal, I'm almost convinced!" Rogson said to Higg with a smile.

"Now is not the time to relax!" Higg said solemnly, "Although there is a way to deal with the minotaur, we have not found a way out, and our trouble has not been resolved!" ”

"I also think it's not a way to go on like this now, this maze is too big!" Rogson said worriedly.

"I shouldn't have brought you here, let you fall into the land of death!" Higg sighed.

"Young marshal, there is no need to say this!" Snorlin said, "Let's not mention the previous situation, we have no choice, even if there is, the commander gives an order, and the soldiers of our Fifth Army will definitely not have any retreat!" ”

"Young marshal!" Rogson chimed in, "You shouldn't have so much foresight. Marshal Hero I, marching to war, what you want is to order and forbid, the commander's order is above all else, whether the order is right or wrong, it must be strictly enforced, and who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes? Young marshal, please don't hesitate, indecision is the taboo of the coach. ”

"I need to be quiet!" Higg said, "Rest where you are! ”
