Chapter 408



408 The mysterious maze

On the forum.

After a day of fermentation.

the night before, the player from northland had witnessed zhao xu’s close-combat damage output as a wizard in the nest, and he had immediately posted two posts-

[ breaking news, I personally witnessed the NPC mage taking down a giant mutated Scorpion with a swing of his staff. ]

[ I’ve already deleted my warrior character and am preparing to use my mage character to prove my path. ]

There wasn’t much of a stir at first, and it was easy for other players to think that it was a bragging post, and then it was immediately drowned by a huge number of flooded posts.

However, the players who were working in the city Hall of the town center revealed that the descendants of the Alliance’s higher-ups had been killed last night. At the same time, there were corpses of mutated scorpions all over the place.

At the same time, some players who were on the run also posted, recording the example of a powerful man paralyzing a super-large mutated Scorpion and a super-large mutated Spider with a spell. At the same time, they also asked what such a powerful spell was.

The sensitive keyword mutated Scorpion was immediately linked by the players, confirming each other’s identity.

after a day of discussion and with more and more confirmation from zhenyu city’s players, the northland post finally became a hot topic at night.

it was just that the status of the players in the game was average, and there were too many cases of lying for the sake of profit.

He wanted to shift the speculations on the forum back to the game so that the officials of Zhenyu city would accept that the mysterious murderer was actually a mage.

Unless the Northerners came forward to testify, it would take at least half a month for the situation to change.

However, the player Northland had already logged out of his account and was studying in a mage Academy.

Meanwhile, the news of a man and a woman killing a super-large mutated Scorpion and a super-large mutated Spider in the escape team was closely followed by the town officials.

With the emergence of the hot topic on the forum, players also began to post related posts based on this speculation-

[ melee mage’s spring! ]

[ no wonder the number one player, starry sky reflection, waved his giant scythe. It turns out that the end of spells is melee combat! ]

[ level 18 strength wizard account has been created. Violent wizard, here I come. ]

However, all of this was put to an end by another post when it was close to dawn-

[ I was vaporized by a meteor. ]

————————-

As he got closer and closer, Zhao Xu started to feel the heat from the thick smoke.

They hadn’t had such an obvious feeling when they were flying in the sky, and they could even locate their position at a high altitude.

Now that he had landed on the ground, he realized that the thick smoke had a suppressive effect on his vision and speed.

the suffocating smoke would definitely not dissipate within a few hours.

It seemed that for most adventurers, unless they could fly in the sky like they did, they would be disturbed by the thick smoke for a short time.

but zhao xu wasn’t in the mood to be happy about it, because he was in a bit of a sticky situation right now.

Fortunately, he had deliberately stacked one more layer of the Dragon skin technique before he came today.

On one hand, it gave him a full 5 natural defense bonus, and on the other hand, it gave him 20 points of fire resistance.

This meant that he would be able to nullify 20 points of fire damage in each round.

This was Zhao Xu’s best life-saving ability in this scorched crater.

Zhao Xu had 20 points of fire resistance, so even if the players were able to break through Level 5 and cast fireballs, he would still be able to cast them.

the 5-30 points of fire damage was something that he could probably take without getting hurt.

if he could successfully reflect and avoid most of the fire damage, then he would be able to avoid it without suffering any injuries.

This was the first time someone else had managed to reach such a high level, but Zhao Xu could already ignore it.

This was the difference between him and the current players.

It was not something that could be described as a snowball.

as zhao xu and vivian descended, apart from feeling the heat of the smoke getting stronger, he could also feel the burning sensation of fire in his throat as he breathed.

“Can you bear it?” Zhao Xu used telepathy to communicate with Vivian.

Compared to him, who had 20 resistance points by magic, Vivian only had 10 resistance points.

If she were a demon with fire immunity, she would be able to dance in the burning crater without a problem.

“President, it’s not a big problem. In fact, there are some places in the abyss that are even worse than here, and I have been there before.” Vivian explained.

Having seen the terrible situation in the abyss, she didn’t have the delicate temperament of a rich lady, and she didn’t feel any discomfort in the hot environment.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu, who didn’t know how deep he had descended, felt a wave of heat coming from the opposite direction.

That incomparably huge falling object was like a small hill that had been cut flat, and it crashed deeply into the meteorites pit.

The bottom of the Holy aura building was still spewing hot lava, and the heat waves from the lava were coming straight for Zhao Xu.

If it wasn’t for his 20 points of resistance, his HP would have dropped like water.

As expected, there had never been such a lucky person in the world.

If one wanted to do big business, they would not be able to survive at the beginning without a strong foundation.

although the smoke was lingering in his nose, vivian, as a paladin, pounced down and tried to observe.

“There seems to be a small opening here.” Vivian responded with her powerful reconnaissance ability.

After Zhao Xu made up his mind, he also flew over.

“That’s strange.”

Although the mysterious building itself occupied a large area, it was insignificant compared to the crater that was easily one to two kilometers in size.

This also made Zhao Xu more cautious.

He remembered that in his previous life, he had heard that hundreds of adventurers had rushed over and risked their lives to enter the mysterious building.

Compared to the civilians and refugees who were lucky enough to escape from the explosion, they wanted to escape.

“Then why don’t you do something like divination?” Vivian suggested.

“It’s fine. I’ll observe it up close first.” Zhao Xu consoled her. At the same time, he flew even closer to that strangely-shaped door.

The building of the Holy breath looked like a huge pillbox, and most of its exterior was covered with complicated incantations.

Zhao Xu took out his whistle and gently scraped off some of the remaining lava that had cooled down on the door God.

But just as Zhao Xu’s spoon touched the mysterious door …

a mysterious and powerful force of attraction pulled him in and dragged him in.

In an instant, Vivian, who had been protecting him from the side, also pounced on him and hugged him. Then, they disappeared into the thick smoke together.

————

When Zhao Xu and Vivian regained their vision, they found that there was a hexagonal space in front of them that was completely compressed by a force field.

“Maze?”

vivian could not help but ask in surprise.

“i’m afraid it’s not just that.” Zhao Xu said.

He couldn’t help but sigh.

the maze spell was to create a new mysterious space to trap them. only by passing the intelligence appraisal in it, which was similar to breaking out of the ” maze “, could they escape from this spell.

That was why the “maze technique” that didn’t require one to walk through a maze got its name.

both zhao xu’s staff and vivian’s advanced teleportation spell were activated.

However, the maze itself was an independent dimensional space, which meant that they were in another dimension, just like the half-plane in the past.

Naturally, the advanced teleportation spell, which could only teleport people within the same plane, could not be broken through.

in other words, all adventurers who arrive here will be swept away by this building of Holy breath and trapped in this maze.

Zhao Xu analyzed.

This was also one of the drawbacks of humans after they transmigrated. At that time, information couldn’t be shared at all. Otherwise, Zhao Xu would have known about the many layers of inside information in this building a long time ago, and he wouldn’t have been in such a passive position.

“then let’s crack it.”

It was a pity that Zhao Xu was now a human with an intelligence of 28.

It was said to be the most intelligent among the players.

if he couldn’t get out of this labyrinth, no one else could.

Not many people in the entire Northern Alliance could make it out of this maze.
