Chapter 1922 "A Maze?"



"Big sis, can you find the exit? This slum is surprisingly huge and complicated…or maybe we have been going in circles and we are trapped or something?" 

Ainsley tactfully asked the mermaid in a soft tone of voice so as not to offend the mermaid with her question. 

The other teammates also began to doubt whether they had already gone through the right path all this time. 

The mermaid was confident at first, but she also felt that it should not take such a long time just to cross a slum in this lake that didn't look that big! 

Could it be that they had been going in circles or went the wrong way? What if they actually went to a dead end? 

Just where was the exit and how to leave this ghostly place?!

The mermaid admitted that she became confused and could no longer say with certainty that they were heading the right way. 

"At first, I felt that as long as we continued to rush forward, we would be able to find the exit, but now, I think that we might hit a dead end soon in this kind of maze-like slum." 

The mermaid didn't think that the slum would be like a maze before, but after all the things that happened to them, she slowly felt that the slum should not be just a straight line with roots on the left and the right side. 

What if the slum here was indeed a maze and the terrain was so complex? 

Going up would not solve the problem either because the main roots of the Acacia trees were all tall enough to become the 'wall' that prevented them from finding the short cut to the exit. 

No wonder there were not many people who dared to go to this lake to find the Acacia roots because no matter how valuable that root was, people could die countless times in this seemingly peaceful lake. 

The maze slum alone was already enough to trap many people to death because many ability users could not breathe underwater and could only rely on technology or barriers to supply oxygen. 

The group was luckier because they were all transformed into mermaids and mermen, so even without the barrier, they actually still had some ways to survive. 

The other contestants in the team were stunned at the mermaid's honest confession but none of them could blame the mermaid because they also didn't know whether this slum was indeed a maze or not. 

The mermaid was indeed familiar with underwater places, but lakes and seas were still different. 

ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom Not to mention that this mermaid probably never went on a huge adventure alone, so even if her experience was rich, she should not be too good at things like this. 

Ainsley and the others looked at the dark surrounding where some flashes would appear from time to time, showing pairs of greedy eyes from various gaps and holes. 

This place was indeed more complicated than what they previously thought. 

"If there's really no other way, we can only use the group teleport, but that means we will return to the boat because if we teleport to another place in the lake, we will lose our trump card." 

But then, they still had to find the mysterious monster's cub after this, so if they gave up now, there was a high possibility that they would not be able to finish the mysterious monster cub's mission. 

Ainsley and the others huddled together to discuss this issue while the mermaid kept controlling the water barrier to move forward. 

Even if she knew that they might be heading the wrong way, they could not stop because there were still many strange monsters in the dark, ready to attack them and devour them alive. 

Ainsley looked at her temporary teammates who had gone through various dangers with her and slowly exposed her thoughts to these adults who were way older than her. 

"Do you think using the sound wave to create some kind of a map will work? At least, we will know whether we are going to hit a dead end or not, right?" 

Ainsley looked at the sonic guy and told him a little bit about her 3D map ability. 

"My other ability is actually keen hearing, but after it evolves, I can send out sound waves and then receive the sound wave's scan in the form of a 3D map." 

Ainsley explained a little bit about her ability that could be barely used on this island due to various reasons. 

"I think, since the basic principle is similar, maybe we can also roughly create a map from the released sound wave?" 

Although the sonic guy's sound wave focused on the offensive ability and had too little to do with detection, the guy did use the ability to detect many hidden monsters or incoming enemies before.

The sonic guy didn't know that Ainsley had such an ability because her most famous ability was probably only the mysterious 'curse' ability, the charm ability and the shaman ability. 

The other abilities were not so famous because it didn't feel like an exclusive ability unique to Ainsley or something that could represent the little girl. 

After hearing that Ainsley actually had such an ability but she could not use it on this island, the sonic guy looked at Ainsley with wide eyes. 

'Damn it. If your ability can be used, I bet everything will be much easier now! I think the reason why you can't use that ability is to suppress you so that you won't be too overpowered..." 

The whole Island must have nerfed Ainsley's ability so that the assessment would be 'fairer', right??
