[This dungeon is a special competitive dungeon, and the gambling mechanism of the competitive dungeon has been automatically activated. Only players from organizations outside the dungeon can place bets. Betting content: The organization that won the first place in this round of competitive dungeons. ]

[After the organizational ranking competition copy is opened, there will be no rule prompts. All the rules and clues in the dungeon are provided in the dungeon, please pay attention to all the information in the dungeon and the words of the npc. ]

A thin crescent moon hangs in the sky.

The dark clouds were sparse, blocking some of the starry sky, and sometimes sliding across the waning moon, bringing a large shadow. A few hoarse crows of crows pierced the night sky, and amidst the flapping of wings, a flock of crows flew past.

A jungle labyrinth covering the entire hill is located here. From the entrances in all directions at the foot of the hill, there is a magnificent castle on the top of the hill.

After the large crows flew away, one figure after another suddenly appeared in the wide labyrinth. The magnificent castle hidden in the night on the top of the mountain suddenly lit up, and the windows shone with yellowish light.

"He's a man of unknown birth."

"His mother gave birth to him in the wilderness, and fell into a coma in the jungle maze due to excessive blood loss. The blood stained the land, and the surrounding vegetation corroded. His mother was swallowed by crows and died. But he was full of blood on the grass. For three days he wept, and the crows cried out for him, and the forest withered for him."

"He likes to admire the beauty of human beings, but he never associates with the same kind. The castle in the depths of the maze is his home, where his favorite works are stored, which symbolizes his ominous skills. The guests will also suddenly kill them."

"But if the people who go up the mountain don't reach his home that day, he will close the gate of the castle at midnight, and the crows that wander in the jungle maze will eat up those who stay in the maze."

Yan Wei had just stood firm, before he had time to see the situation in front of him clearly, these words from nowhere came to his ears bit by bit, illusory, eerie and strange.

He took a closer look, and the surroundings were very dark, only the castle on the top of the hill was lit, and he could see it as long as he looked up a little.

The voice that seemed to melt into the wind came the last sentence: "Now, he is waiting for his new guests."

Lou's notification tone also sounded at this moment.

[Request begins. ]

Yan Wei has sorted out his current situation in just a few seconds.

He is now in a jungle maze that covers the entire mountain. Judging from the height, it should be halfway up the mountain, right in the middle. And he is surrounded by very neatly trimmed green walls, which are trimmed from trees. The maze made up of such trees is just about the height of an adult male, so people can almost see what is on the top of the mountain when they look up, but they can't see the layout of the maze around them clearly.

Although he could feel the movement of people not far away, there was no one around him at the moment—Yan Mingguang, Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou didn't see it either.

Combined with the words just now that are similar to introducing the background...

Yan Wei looked up at the castle in the distance, his eyes were slightly focused, and he understood.

This dungeon scattered them in the jungle maze that covered the entire mountain at the very beginning. They had to reach the castle in the center of the mountain before midnight, otherwise they would be devoured alive by the countless crows circling in mid-air. Apart from this rule, he didn't hear any rules related to sports at all.

In other words, only after arriving at the castle alive can one be qualified to continue the dungeon and know what the competition rules in the castle are.

And now... Whether it's the angle of the moon, or the remaining time in the normal state of the Yanwei information panel, it's all clearly indicated—there's still two hours left.

Only when you reach the top of the mountain within two hours can you have a ticket to participate in this competition.

Yan Wei tried to spread out his perception—it was useless as expected, his perception burst skill was naturally upgraded after entering the dungeon, but there was still no way to expand it at this time.

This jungle maze will limit the use of their perception, completely cutting off the possibility of players using their perception to find their way and easily reach the castle.

Yan Wei frowned, looked around again, tightly clenched the hands hidden in his pockets.

He has an uncomfortable feeling.

Before he came in, he had seen some competitive dungeons of previous rounds. In such dungeons, people from the same organization entered and started together. There had never been such a situation where everyone was dispersed. He has the confidence to form a team with Yan Mingguang and others. Part of the reason is that this is a group competition dungeon. He stays with Yan Mingguang and the others, and he is not afraid of shortcomings in terms of body index.

But this breaks up...

For the seed players of the 30th and 40th floors carefully selected by other organizations, it is only the first problem of the dungeon.

For him, he was targeted at his biggest shortcoming in an instant.

"It's no wonder I'm narcissistic..." Yan Wei sneered, raised his eyes to look at the dark starry sky, and looked to nowhere, "The fragments of the moon wheel were lifted up to the forty-ninth floor, and the dungeon was opened immediately with the rules. Dispersing all the players and leaving me alone... How do I feel that this is targeting me?"

The darkness in the distance naturally couldn't answer him.

Yan Wei looked away, and took out the miniature walkie-talkie they had used before.

As soon as I put this prop into my ear, Lin Zhen’s voice came: “Hey, little pet, you are loading slower than us, and finally put on the walkie-talkie. This damn labyrinth restrains perception, and my arrows are too slow.” There is no way to shoot in mid-air, we seem to have to rely entirely on walking, come to find the way... "

Yu Feizhou: "It's hard to handle. This dungeon is very strange. I don't know why, but everyone is scattered at the beginning. This maze is similar in every way. I tried it with Lin Zhen just now, and there is no way to just talk about it. location to find people.”

"Be careful when you're alone." This sentence was said by Yan Mingguang. This person didn't say anything related to breaking the game, his voice was steady, but there was a hint of concern in his voice.

When Yan Wei heard Yan Mingguang's words, the corner of his mouth subconsciously twitched.

The wind in the jungle labyrinth is not strong, it is gentle, but it blows on people's body with a bone-chilling chill. Yan Wei tightened his windbreaker, tried to walk forward in the maze for a short distance, and said: "I don't think it's that direct. It's only two hours away from midnight, and it's unrealistic to find the way by going wrong, it must be have what-"

There were rustling footsteps and conversations ahead, Yan Wei paused and retracted his words.

In front of him, on another road, there was a player who stumbled while walking. The man ran forward in a panic, because he ran too fast, the moment he appeared in front of Yan Wei, he tripped over a branch in front of him.

Obviously, this person could not be a seed player trained by various organizations, but more like an ordinary player who was randomly selected because of the failure of the gambling house. He didn't react for a moment, and fell to the ground suddenly. The branches scattered on the ground cut several places on his body, and the smell of blood instantly permeated.

Yan Wei paused.

The crows of crows intertwined came from behind, approaching as if covering the sky. Yan Wei looked back, turned sideways and lowered his head immediately, and a large group of crows flew in front of him.

—They smell blood.

As soon as the player who fell on the ground got up, he saw these crows with black feathers, sharp beaks, and bloody eyes flashing towards him.

The man turned pale with fright, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, he immediately took out his weapon and began to swing at the crow who was rushing in the front. The blade divided the crow's body into two halves, and the more intense smell of blood and blood spread out, not only did not scare off these beasts, but brought a deeper stimulus.

All the crows around rushed up at once!

They didn't see Yan Wei who was leaning sideways at all, and rushed towards the player from all angles.

Yan Wei sighed silently and shook his head regretfully.

These players who were randomly dragged in due to the failure of the gambling building did not have the ability to hit the 49th floor of the difficult competitive dungeon. From the moment they were dragged in, they were almost destined to become the stepping stones for the seed players of the competitive dungeon .

But after a while, the weapon in the player's hand was pecked off by the crow, and the smell of blood became stronger.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

But in the blink of an eye, these man-eating crows devoured the man alive in an instant! !

The cries were intertwined and mixed again, contradictoryly mixed with sharp and hoarse.

The crows scattered in all directions, and the corpse that had been eaten so clean that only the skeleton was left fell down with a bang, the bones scattered in all directions, and a large amount of blood spread from the scattered bones, soaking the entire land where Yan Wei was.

Smelling the rotten smell, Yan Wei waved his hand in discomfort.

But the moment the rotten smell dissipated, the surrounding maze walls pruned from dense trees began to corrode and wither. The line of sight in this area became wider at this moment. Although the corroded area can only be regarded as a small piece compared to the entire jungle maze, it has already saved the way to explore the maze in this area.

The maze wall can be corroded by the player's blood.

With the player's death, Yan Wei was able to walk directly through this unobstructed area, getting closer to the top of the mountain without any effort.

The other two players in this area also appeared in Yan Wei's field of vision. They looked at each other, Yan Wei and the bones on the ground, obviously they also knew what happened just now.

Yan Wei looked at the only remaining bones of the player, and the story he heard when he loaded the dungeon just now rang in his mind.

—"His mother gave birth to him in the wilderness, and was unconscious in the jungle maze due to excessive blood loss. The blood stained the land, and the surrounding vegetation rotted. His mother was swallowed by crows and died. But he died on the grass For three days we cried, and the crows cried out for him, and the forest withered for him."

It turned out to be like this.

The blood corrodes, and the jungle that makes up the maze will naturally wither, revealing a wide field of vision, and clearing out the open space without the maze tree walls.

If such corrosion is in the direction of the top of the mountain, then naturally it is easy to reach the castle within two hours.

The more dead players, the easier it is for players who are still alive to pass this first level.

Compared with spending time finding the way, going directly to the sacrificed player... is undoubtedly faster.

Yan Wei copied his pocket with one hand, fumbling with his fingertips for the edge of the Yanzi coin. He raised his eyes to the other two obvious seed players present, his light brown eyes flashed faintly.

The scene just now was too direct, he could understand this shortcut in an instant, and so could these two people.
