It is now midnight, and many tired adventurer teams choose to go back to rest and adjust, and continue their strategy tomorrow.
When he came, Yang Yu saw many adventurers' tents on the first floor.
The monsters here are too friendly.
If adventurers do not actively attack them, they will ignore the existence of adventurers and wander in the passage.
Therefore, living on the first floor of the underground maze is much safer than living outside the dungeon.
Because of the setting of this underground maze, no matter who it is, as long as they go out to the third floor, they can see the hidden passage at the exit. With so many people, it is impossible that there is no one who is not interested in that passage.
Kalugada may be one of the earlier batches, but it is definitely not the last.
If those adventurers figured out a strategy like Yang Yu did, and happened to know the answer to the BOSS question, and found the hidden BOSS before Yang Yu, then all their previous efforts would be wasted.
In fact, at the beginning, Yang Yu also had the option of ignoring Bai Jin and Iyas' fatigue and leading them to force the attack.
But looking at Kalugada going away, Yang Yu did not hesitate too much and chose to rest on the spot. He waited until both of them had fully recovered their strength before taking action again.
With the map, Yang Yu quickly found the next hidden passage symbolizing "death" and killed the ghost in it. He gently touched the wall at the end, triggering the next prompt.
This time, some text appeared on the wall.
"The archaic way of writing the word '人'."
As it turned out, Yang Yu had underestimated the difficulty of conquering this maze.
This maze actually requires answering questions. I understand some ancient Chinese saying.
Yang Yu showed the map to Bai Jin. "Bai Jin, which part of the map do you think is most similar to the ancient Chinese writing of the word '人'?"
"Here." Bai Jin drew a circle on the map without hesitation. "My master taught me that humans are creatures that support each other, so this is what the ancient saying says."
Taking a look at the place where Bai Jin drew the circle, the pattern there really looked like two people supporting each other.
We should try our best. After walking backwards through the area pointed out by Bai Jin, a new hidden passage appeared before our eyes.
Enter it, deal with ghosts, touch the walls, and new problems will appear.
Bai Jin answered the questions that Yang Yu didn't understand one by one. Yang Yu suddenly realized that Bai Jin's knowledge was far beyond the reach of a village girl.
There was a small episode on the way. When heading to a certain area, Yang Yu passed by another "6" type area on the map.
Out of curiosity, Yang Yu took a detour and entered the hidden passage, but found that there were no ghosts there.
This was a very dangerous signal, indicating that someone had been here before. Perhaps, they had also begun to conquer the maze like Yang Yu.
He led the team to quicken the pace, and after defeating eight ghosts in succession, there were no more problems on the wall, and only a huge picture appeared.
Picking up the map and comparing it, the picture covered almost half of the map, and the end of the picture was the stairs they came in.
Without thinking too much, Yang Yu immediately took Bai Jin and Iyas along the path to the real "Gate of Death".
When they stepped onto the stairs, they suddenly sank, and the upward stairs slowly turned into downward stairs, extending into the darkness underground.
"I say, it's better not to go in."
Looking at the endless stairs, Iyas shuddered. She always felt that something would suddenly pop out at the end of the stairs and swallow her up.
Iyas couldn't help but take a step back, but hit an invisible wall.
This invisible wall seemed to completely separate the two worlds: life on one side and death on the other.
"Having come to this point means we have no way out."
"You don't look like you have no way out. It's so scary! Why do you look so excited?!"
Because I have come this far, it means that everything I thought was right.
The smile on Yang Yu's face became more and more intense, and Iyas got goosebumps all over her body. She looked at Bai Jin, hoping to find a little resonance from Bai Jin, but Bai Jin also showed an extremely weird smile.
"Hey, in such a dark environment, I can already smell the deep scent of death. There must be some dark existence in here. As a curse mage, I like this kind of environment the most. What on earth is waiting for us ahead? I'm really looking forward to it! Maybe I can grasp a new way to become stronger in one fell swoop!"
Bai Jin and Yang Yu raised their heads at the same time, exuding an extremely ominous aura from their whole bodies.
"Iyas, what are you waiting for? Come here quickly!"
Hearing this, Iyas almost fell down the stairs.
at last…
There was no other way, so Yias could only follow Yang Yu and Bai Jin into the darkness.
She carefully pulled Yang Yu's right sleeve and followed him tremblingly, while Yang Yu's left side was also pulled tremblingly by Bai Jin.
"Well, forget about Iyas. Bai Jin, as a curse mage, are you afraid of the dark? If you are afraid of the dark, can't you cast a fireball to serve as a lamp?"
"Don't force me." Bai Jin's reaction now was no different from that of an ordinary girl. "I tried, but my lips kept shaking and I couldn't concentrate on chanting magic."
Yang Yu was helpless. This place was different from the "death" he had walked through before. It was completely dark. The only thing that could serve as a light was the blue ghost that appeared on the road from time to time.
What’s even more fatal is that as soon as Yang Yu gets close to those blue ghosts, they will immediately self-explode, turning into faint light that sinks into their bodies, continuously enhancing the effect of [Touch of Death].
It's good, but once the ghost is gone, there is nothing to use as lighting.
Fortunately, the passage is not long. The deeper we go, the more ghosts there are, and the passage becomes brighter.
Finally, when the effect of [Touch of Death] on Yang Yu changed to +10000% damage, they reached the end of the road.
Unlike before, when Yang Yu touched the wall at the end, his hand was pulled by an invisible force. In the end, he, Iyas and Bai Jin were completely pulled over the wall by this force.
At the end was a completely enclosed room with white walls on all sides. The light from the ceiling made the room as bright as day. In the center of the room, a minotaur wearing Japanese samurai armor was turning into a point of light and gradually disappearing.
Next to it was a team of seven adventurers.
Piles of gold coins and equipment dropped from the Minotaur, and the team of adventurers pounced on them greedily.
The seven-member adventure team noticed the arrival of Yang Yu and his team. A warrior with short purple hair waved to Yang Yu proudly, "Although you also found the hidden passage, I'm sorry! We arrived here before you and defeated the monsters here, so all the spoils here are ours!"
Just as he finished speaking, a member of the team picked up a strange ring from the gold coins and handed it to the warrior with short purple hair.
A closer look reveals that the ring is shaped like a snake biting its own tail, and there is a strange button on the head of the Ouroboros.
Please recommend and collect. Finally, I have reached the 100th chapter. I always feel that I have spent more time on revising the text recently, but it is still difficult to revise it to be completely satisfactory. Sometimes I even overturn a large section and rewrite it. I feel that the update is getting slower and slower.
