Chapter 957: Labyrinth I.
"It's so much more than just huge!"
Dean shook his head.
"The exit of this labyrinth is in the very center, and here, here, and here, there is a powerful aura - it is the surprise that Fink said, each of which is a 'domain' level!"
Dean said, gesturing to the sketch on the ground.
The location is exactly the exit from the center of the maze.
Suddenly, everyone's brows furrowed.
"Excuse me?"
Darrow. Thunder and Fink. Blaze looked at each other, then frowned and looked at Dean.
"Well, as Dro and Fink guessed, after we enter this portal, we should be transported to different locations, and only in this way can we explain why there is such an arrangement - everyone keep in mind the characteristics of the labyrinth, its changes are all based on this!"
Dean nodded.
Then the crowd began to remember.
This is important for Droz. Thunder, Fink. None of this is easy for the flames.
Rand. Galley and Get. The same goes for Frost.
As for Blank. Storm Bear?
That's completely impossible.
"Just break the walls! Any kind of maze can be destroyed! β
Blank. Storm Bear roared loudly.
"It's not that simple! If I were that evil god, I would be on guard against something like this - either the walls of the labyrinth would be too hard to break, or it would cause even greater changes...... Since that evil god was able to create a monster like Quetzalcoatl, it would not be too much to exaggerate anything else! β
Darrow. Thunder shook his head with a solemn face.
"We should be thankful. The evil god had to fulfill a long-standing plan. Everything in front of you is just to stall for time! If it's really about facing that evil god. All of us combined, we don't have the slightest chance of winning! β
Fink. The flames are more visible.
And no one objected to such words.
Even Dean.
Dean is well aware of the disparity in strength between himself and Morbius.
Maybe given him enough time, he will not be inferior to the other party, and even surpass the other party.
But, for now, the two sides are not at all on the same level.
"So. We need to speed up and ...... Be flexible! β
Dean said this, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Blank. Storm Bear.
On this piece of paper, there is a sketch of a labyrinth on the ground.
Blank. Storm Bear grinned and took the paper.
The crowd around them was stunned, apparently they had forgotten the easiest way to do it: record.
"Sure enough, it needs to be flexible!"
Darrow. Thunder smiled bitterly and took the pen and paper handed over by Dean and began to draw it quickly, and after the others took the pen and paper, they also joined in non-stop.
This process lasted about ten minutes or so.
When Rand. After Hurricane made sure that the key points in his sketch were correct, everyone was ready.
"Before departure. Let's thank Fink again for bringing the Messenger Crystal! β
Dean pinched the fingernail-sized crystal with two fingers and smiled.
There is naturally gratitude in the words.
But it's more of a relaxation of the atmosphere in front of you.
Obviously, that's a good thing to do. The faces of the people who had been tightening their cheeks softened slightly, and then they all looked at Fink. Blaze thanked him.
"I'm one of the bunch, and that's as it should be!"
Fink. The flames show their humility.
And this made everyone's smiles more and more numerous.
After all, no one would deny Fink. The contribution of these alchemical equipment brought by the flames.
At least, there are quite a few things left for them.
Especially Blank. Blaze, and he can't put down his new tomahawk.
"So, let's go!"
Dean said as the first one walked through the portal, Gray was the second, and then Dro. Thunder and Fink. Blaze, and then Rand. Galvane, Getter. Austerity.
The last to enter was Blank. Storm Bear.
The light of the portal rippled like the water of a lake broken by stones, as if it had passed through a layer of mist.
When Dean's eyes were able to see again, it was a hallway ten feet wide and more than fifteen feet high.
The sides, floors, and ceilings are paved with one-foot-square stones.
About every six to seven feet on the wall, a torch illuminates the entire hallway.
"Can you hear me?"
Dean pulled out the teleportation crystal, confirming the safety of his companions.
"Your Majesty, no problem!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
β¦β¦
Voices rang out, except for Blank. Storm Bear.
"Blank?"
Dean asked again.
Airplanes!
And not waiting for Blank. Storm Bear replied, and Dean felt a slight tremor on the floor of the labyrinth, and the next moment, Blanc came from the teleportation crystal. The sound of the violent bear.
"I really can't beat through, these rocks are too hard!"
Blank. Storm Bear said.
Obviously, that's what happened before Blank. Storm Bear didn't answer the reason for it in the first place.
"Blank ......"
There was silence in the teleportation crystal, and everyone was speechless for a while about the behavior of the warriors of the Storm Bear Tribe, even Dean shook his head with a wry smile.
"If you find anything, stay in touch!"
Dean put away the communication crystal and began to survey the maze in front of him.
Looking at a sketch of a labyrinth from a high vantage point and actually being in a labyrinth are two different concepts.
It's like what Dean said in his hometown: the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
When you're in the game, it's hard to see everything around you.
The same goes for the maze in front of you.
When you're in a corner of the maze. Facing an almost identical hallway. It is completely impossible for ordinary people to distinguish what range they are in.
Even if you've ever seen a sketch of a labyrinth.
Not to mention. The sketch of this labyrinth is that of the previous and current labyrinth, which has changed at least three times according to the pattern observed by Dean before.
However, no matter how it changes, it will not be difficult for Dean.
Even, it's a breeze.
Because Dean is not only capable of turning himself into a 'moon'. It can also have a speed like 'moonlight'.
At this speed, Dean was able to reach the exit with easeβhe only needed to 'walk' the entire path in front of him before the maze in front of him changed again.
'How do you get out of a labyrinth?' β
'Go through it all!' β
This is what Dean saw in a book.
Now, it's practice.
The next moment, Dean's entire body glowed, and then, in a flash, disappeared.
When Dean's form reappeared, he was already standing in front of a circular hallway, flanked by the remains of a large metal golem.
Dean's punch shatters his body, including the core.
Dean's gaze looked across the arc β
There was a door glowing with metal.
As Dean remembers. Behind the door is the exit to this labyrinth.
Dean didn't walk over, though. Instead, he looked at the road behind him, which was still the same deep and unchanging corridor, and this section of the road had not changed.
Dean frowned slightly.
The process of getting to the exit was far easier than Dean had imagined.
Originally, Dean had planned to bring a few companions with him, especially Blank. Storm Bear.
However, along the way, Dean did not find any companions at all.
"After entering, there was another change that I didn't know about?"
Dean muttered to himself.
Then his brow furrowed even tighter.
This is seriously inconsistent with Dean's original plan, at least, the maze in front of him in Dean's plan should not consume more time at all.
He was able to lead the crowd and quickly find the exit.
And the reason why it was not explicitly stated before is not a so-called surprise.
It's just that Dean wants to assert his authority in the team - and the mysterious image of omnipotence is Dean's best choice at the moment.
After all, the whole team is minus Gray and Droz. Thunder, as well as Rand. Except for the wind that can make Dean more trusting, the rest of the people, Dean has a choice of trust.
Correspondingly, the same is true for the other party.
Therefore, the necessary authority is necessary.
And that's good for Dean, and for his fellow travelers.
Because, they need to face Morbius.
But now it seems......
Dean was glad he hadn't spoken before, but he was secretly worried about the progress of the rest.
After a few moments, Dean took a deep breath and walked to the door in the opposite hallway.
When he can't go as planned, at least he needs to make sure the exit behind the door is safe.
β¦β¦
"Please, Flame Lion!"
Fink. The Will of the Flame is connected to the Flame Lion, the guardian beast of the Flame City-State.
Then, according to the wild guidance of the guardian beast, according to the sketch drawn by Dean, he quickly found the most correct one among the many forks in the road.
With Fink. Flames, Gat. Frost dries like this.
β¦β¦
And Droz. Thunder is different.
He unfolded the 'domain'!
Although the existence of the labyrinth wall blocks the 'domain', the empty place cannot stop the spread of the 'domain'.
It's as if you need to fill a rubber hose with water to find out where it's leaking.
At the moment, Droz. The 'domain' of thunder becomes the 'water' of the infusion.
And a slight comparison with the sketch given by Dean, when the difference was discovered, the most correct path also appeared in Droz. Thunder in front of you.
β¦β¦
Rand. Wind pulled out the Sword of the Wind from his waist, and he ran his fingertips over the sword, placing it on a sketch.
"The wind, guide me in the right direction!"
Rand. The wind whispered.
Suddenly, a wisp of breeze spilled out of the sword of the wind and headed forward.
β¦β¦
Gray looked down the hallway in front of him, a gentle smile on his cheek.
The whole person disappeared without a trace in the next moment.
Clearly, Gray chose the same way as Dean: speed.
β¦β¦
"Damn, damn it, where are I going?!"
Blank. Storm Bear looked at the fork in the road in front of him, holding a sketch of the maze given by Dean in his hand, comparing it back and forth.
Half a minute later, all that was left was confusion.
