Get out of the maze of giant eagles and towering canopies.

The two Ronald came to the ground, but this time the test of the preparation of the "Labyrinth Picture Book" did not give them much time to rest.

However, after a short rest, the two set off again.

Suddenly, a new obstacle came in front of them.

- It's darkness.

In the world of Labyrinth Picture Book, whether day or night, the sky rarely affects people's activities here.

But it's a different story ahead.

The dense canopy casts the darkness that cannot be seen through to the ground.

Occasionally, light passes through the shade of the trees, forming soft pillars of light that shine diagonally. But except for a small part of the view, everything else remained in darkness.

Caterina immediately expressed her opinion on the maze in front of her:

"Is this for us to walk the maze blindfolded?"

"With all due respect, if there are any more monsters in the darkness this time, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to escape."

Ronald is a little more optimistic:

"Katarina, don't be too pessimistic."

"As if we were able to escape at the last moment, the labyrinth will certainly not be an impossible test. Even if there is a danger lurking here, there is definitely a solution. ”

Caterina shrugged her shoulders, and there was no joy in her mechanical expression:

"So let's hit the road now?"

Ronald nodded naturally:

"Time is pressing, let's go."

[The adventurer and his assistant have the audacity to step into the dark woods!] 】

[In this darkness inhabited by terrible things, will they lose their way and eventually be swallowed up completely? 】

The voiceover sounded at the right time.

At the same time, it is also announcing the danger of Ronald's choice.

If you want to break through this labyrinth, it's all about how to get out of the darkness and not get lost. And the worst-case scenario...... Even as the two of them had just said in their conversation, there was something dangerous hiding here.

Moving forward in the darkness with no reference, humanity can easily get lost.

But Ronald is in a better situation on their side.

The light shining into the forest looks like a Tyndall effect, and it can also be used as a reference point for them as they move forward.

Let's get off the book

Groping forward like this, they even kept their speed in good shape.

However, after a period of progress deeper into the forest, the number of surrounding pillars of light began to decrease.

At the beginning, there were pillars of light within ten meters.

But now this distance is gradually lengthened, and sometimes the distance in the dark is too long, and you even need to stop to confirm it.

Walking in such an environment, Ronald immediately reminded:

"Katarina, the point of this labyrinth is not to get lost."

The girl's voice immediately sounded behind Ronald:

"Am I not stupid?"

Ronald nodded in the dark, but the tower master of the Astronomy Department was more aggressive than Ronald.

As soon as the conversation between the two ended, Caterina suddenly quickened her pace behind her.

When their bodies collide in the dark, Ronald is ready to ask each other for reasons for doing so.

Katerina groped for Ronald's body and then grabbed his hand tightly.

"Okay, from now on, we'll never let go of each other."

"Hear that?"

Feeling the temperature on the other party's palm, Ronald was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly replying:

"Ah...... Oh, and don't let go. ”

Holding hands, the two continued to grope their way forward in the darkness.

As with the previous trend, the reference pillars of light are getting farther and farther apart from each other. In order not to get lost in the dark, Ronald and his two were forced to slow down.

The touch of the ground beneath your feet, the flow of the air around you, the subtle sounds of the forest.

These things, which usually only stay on the edge of perception, have become more sensitive than usual because their vision has fallen into darkness.

After about four or five hundred meters, Ronald felt an itch on the back of his neck.

Katarina, who was holding hands, was probably bored, and was so idle that she joked with him in this tense atmosphere.

"Katerina, can you stop this? I'm a little itchy. ”

Caterina asked rhetorically:

"Your palms are itchy, I'll help you scratch them?"

Ronald was a little helpless:

"No, I'm talking about the neck, don't blow up."

“……”

"Let's guess a riddle." This time Caterina was silent for a while, and then spoke again, "There is a man who is riding a horse to herd sheep on the grassland, and he jumps off his horse, holding the reins in his left hand and the shepherd's staff in his right hand, so does he have the extra hand to pick up stones and enclose sheep?" ”

“……”

Ronald fell silent.

Katerina's question is not a riddle at all.

The core problem is one - she doesn't have the extra hands to do anything else.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, Caterina's grip on his hand suddenly tightened.

This seems to be a signal formed in the tacit understanding between the two.

Then, needless to say, they didn't bother to slow down any longer, and just ran wildly in the dark.

Pacha –

Ronald and the two ran wildly, and where they were originally located, there was immediately a movement.

There was something else lurking around them at some point!

At this time, Ronald and the two ran forward with all their might, and this guy who was lurking in the dark naturally chased them.

Caterina scolded rather unhappily:

"When this thing approached, I didn't notice it at all!"

"Even if there is danger in the labyrinth, it is impossible to do such an inexplicable thing, right?"

Ronald's attitude is much more straightforward than Katarina's:

"You better save your strength and run!"

Bang——!

Running in a panic, the two of them crashed into a tree unexpectedly.

It's a pity that they don't have time to blame the forest now.

The two of them, who would not let go, hurriedly got up from the ground, chose a similar direction according to their feelings, and continued to start to escape.

Luckily, they escaped fast enough.

Or rather, the test in this maze is not the type of racing.

Otherwise, in the completely dark labyrinth, there is still a danger of catching up with them at any time, and there is no hope of escaping at all.

In the darkness, the run continued.

The sound of chasing from behind is also fading away in the chase.

It wasn't until there was no movement at all that Ronald and his escape, slowed down slightly.

But at this time, look at the darkness around you—

There is still a pillar of light as a reference.

But without the sense of direction accumulated during the previous exploration, this lonely pillar of light will not play a role in determining the direction!

The cruel and helpless truth is in front of us.

Now that they can't use the ability of the original canon, neither Ronald nor Caterina can and can't get back to where they started at the beginning!

Faced with this situation, Caterina bluntly said:

"Ronald, what should I do?"

"We seem to have lost our way."
