Inside the manor
Baker Stoneeye's companion, Tarian, was carefully avoiding the guards and guards, and walked to the most remote corner of the manor.
He looked around, took out his pocket watch to check the time, and waited slowly.
Soon, a figure with a cold face came over in the distance, it was Baker Stone Eye. He looked rather ugly.
"Answer?" Tarian asked in a low voice.
"Confirmed. Now the last point is to find the place where he conducts experiments. The experimental subjects outside cannot appear for no reason. He must have a hidden place to house the core experimental equipment!" Baker Stone Eye said coldly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Go straight to it!" Tarian was gearing up, with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Don't worry, the old guy has already become suspicious of me, and your inquiries over the past two days must have let him know what we are looking for. We must proceed carefully."
Baker's stone eyes were calm.
He took out something from his pocket with his backhand. It was a small piece of blue crystal, diamond-shaped and crystal clear.
"When I came out, the teacher gave me a total of three clock fogs, and I can use one at this time. Each of these can use two abilities, one is confusion, and the other is instant separation. And it can also be used separately."
While he was speaking, the crystal in his palm suddenly floated slowly, spinning slightly in the air, soundlessly.
Baker Shiyan threw his hand upwards, and immediately pushed the crystal up gently, floating lightly on his right side.
"Okay, let's go, a certain range around us is fogged, and any detection spells will be invalidated. But the time is only half an hour."
"You have enough good things in your hands! Why don't I have them?" Talian said unbalanced in his heart.
"Using this requires maintaining a certain amount of calculation lead every moment. The difficulty is equivalent to asking you to solve an advanced physics problem within ten seconds. If you want to use it, I still have it." Baker Stone Eye replied lightly.
Suddenly Tarian fell silent. He is the worst at learning calculations.
Baker Shiyan looked left and right, bent down and lifted it lightly on the ground, and immediately pulled up a metal plate of the underground passage from the ground. The whole body of this metal plate is disguised with green grass, and the surface is covered with a thick layer of soil, so it cannot be seen that it is the entrance of an underground passage.
Baker's stone eye looked inside, and a silver light shone slightly in one eye, and soon, the silver light calmed down.
"Walk."
He jumped directly into the entrance, and his whole body was submerged in the dark hole like jumping into a lake.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tarian carefully entered with his lower body first, and then pulled back the entrance metal plate with his backhand, pretending to return to its original position.
The two of them walked forward in the dark cave, only the blue crystal around Baker's Stone Eye continuously emitted a bright blue light, illuminating a little area around it.
The ground was very damp, and there was a faint rotten smell.
"How long has it been since the wind passed through this place? It smells so bad!" Tarian muttered and covered his nose.
"It's not that there's no ventilation, but the stench can't be blown away even by the ventilation." Baker Stone Eye replied lightly.
"It's disgusting, it smells worse than the monster's belly we drilled last time!" Tarian complained in extreme annoyance.
The two moved forward quickly one after the other.
A few minutes passed, Baker Shiyan suddenly felt something different.
"No!" He stopped abruptly. "After walking for so long, how could there be no movement?"
His right eye flashed with silver light, and the vision in front of him was suddenly covered with a layer of light silver.
"It's a labyrinth of spells!" His face suddenly darkened. "Sure enough, you have been prepared! You actually set up such a troublesome maze in advance."
"What kind of maze is it! Go straight through him!" Tarian became impatient.
He patted his side, and suddenly a huge black beast appeared beside him, a giant humanoid beast with an eagle head, covered in thick black feathers, his eyes were slightly golden, and there was a black ring in the pupil. Its arms were two huge black wings, and its legs were goat's hooves. It was a head taller than Tarian, at about 2.5 meters tall.
"Ye Xiao, straight ahead! Pierce!" Tarian pointed forward.
The giant eagle-headed beast screamed. The wings flapped violently.
Click!
Amidst a stabbing sound, two forearm-thick white electric lights shot out fiercely, hitting the wall in front left.
boom! !
Immediately, two large pits appeared on the wall. The gravel exploded and flew everywhere. Part of it hit the two of them viciously, and was bounced away by the light of the silver totem.
But soon, the two big pits that were blown out quickly returned to their original state, as if a living thing repaired itself, which was very strange. The gravel on the ground also sank directly into the ground and disappeared.
"It's useless." Baker Stone Eye said lightly, "The magic maze is made of strong composite materials, which have the effect of diverting attacks. You can only break through the entire maze by following its rules. If you do this, it is equivalent to It is a one-person fight against the source of power that supports the entire labyrinth. If it is sourced from geothermal heat, you will not be able to solve the problem if your strength is exhausted."
"Then what should we do? Could it be that the strength cannot be broken?" Tarian said angrily.
"Find the four main nodes and destroy them, and the entire maze can be solved directly." The silver light in Baker's eyes flashed, "Let's split up."
***************
Somewhere underground in a secret room.
Du Qian stood quietly in front of a huge black crystal, she had been transformed into an inhuman form by Vindman.
The upper body is still in normal human form, with snow-white skin, good facial features, and a set of close-fitting armor covered with green blood vessels. But the lower body has turned into a large piece of dark green tree roots, which are rooting into a square pool behind. The tree roots on the lower body are densely packed, no less than a few hundred, and the roots are constantly absorbing the dark green liquid from the pool, as if the big tree is absorbing nutrients from the earth.
As Vindman's housekeeper, Du Qian is also Vindman's lover. She has been following Vindman since she was very young. The relationship between the two is like a husband and wife, and also like a father and daughter.
In order to fulfill the plan of her loved one, she is willing to let herself be transformed into such a state.
"Who dares to break into the maze?" She looked up at the figure revealed on the crystal stone.
It clearly shows that there are two red dots moving forward from the two entrances of the maze.
The whole maze is like a huge spider web, the rightmost end is the entrance network, and the leftmost end is the exit network.
And now the two are approaching the exit step by step. The node guards encountered in the middle were all easily resolved by them.
Du Qian pressed a symbol on the stone platform on the right, but nothing changed.
She was slightly surprised. "Is this... the fog blockade? There is such a high-end technology! It seems that it was premeditated."
She pondered for a while.
"Since I can't send a signal, I'll come and meet you in person."
Her five fingers were anxious again on the stone platform.
Soon the black crystal in front of him split into four different pictures. Four different weird avatars are revealed respectively.
A clown, a blind giant, a boar with two heads, and a blonde with red eyes.
"Someone broke into the maze, which one of you will solve it? The other party has come prepared." Du Qian said lightly.
"Yeah!!" The two-headed wild boar was the first to snort, with a very rhythmic voice, obviously expressing something.
Strangely, Du Qian actually showed a hint of understanding.
"Well, Ralph, take care of yourself. Just don't let them cross your property."
The wild boar snorted twice again, and the screen was turned off immediately.
"Why don't you leave it to me?" The clown licked his long dark red nails with dissatisfaction.
"It's better to let you go." The red-eyed beauty was carefully dressing up with a dressing box. "I've run out of raw materials here, just add some."
"You only use a few parts and throw them away, and bake them for me to save money!" The blind giant said in dissatisfaction. "That's all right now, Ralph the pig, there's nothing left of the madness."
Du Qian looked at these thorns. These four guys are the mutant biological test subjects produced in the experiment, and they are also the four strongest test subjects. Each of them has extremely unique and powerful abilities. The strength cannot be judged simply by the type.
Together they would be tricky even for her.
Although I don't know the strength of the two guys who broke in suddenly, but on their own territory, with the help of the maze, they can definitely solve the task easily.
***************
Garen watched two black carriages approaching from a distance. Along the driveway to the manor, the carriages were bruised and about to fall apart. Two horns were missing from the top, revealing a huge hole.
There are curtains made of torn clothes at the window, and the driver is a beautiful cousin whom I haven't seen for a long time: Sophie Hathaway.
Hathaway's glamorous temperament was not damaged in the slightest, but the silver armor on her body was a little tattered, revealing the vascular inner armor inside. The iconic inner armor with red blood vessels can be seen at a glance as the work of Vindman's experiment.
She was sitting in the driving seat. Although she was still very heroic, with a high golden ponytail tied, she had lost a lot of weight.
Just turning from the forest driveway, Hathaway saw Garen and Leyla standing in the middle of the road.
"Xia!?" She was suddenly surprised, with a look of surprise on her face. "you are still alive!!?"
call~~call~~
She quickly yelled at the two black horses, turned over and got out of the carriage, and quickly ran towards Garen.
He hugged Garen tightly into his arms.
"You damn little guy! Where did you go! You're so worried about me!" Hathaway was overwhelmed with surprise, and quickly let go of Garen, stretching out her hands to keep pinching the flesh on his body. "Fortunately, there are no missing parts!"
"Don't be like this, cousin!" Garen broke free from her arms helplessly. "I'm already an adult, so be careful with groping like this, I'll sue you for sexual harassment!"
"Huh? I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have learned this accent?!" Hathaway was amused, and ruthlessly grabbed Gallon's face. "Tell me! Where have you been fooling around all this time!?"
"Can you stop doing this?" Garen was completely helpless, and quickly kept a certain distance from his cousin. There was Leila on the sidelines, if this continued, the boss's majesty would be lost.
He took a moment to look at Leila, and this guy was really laughing beside him.
"Xia! You're not dead!?" A familiar voice came from the carriage.
Garen followed the prestige and saw a young girl with flaxen shawl hair jumped out of the carriage, wearing a white tights that looked like denim, with washed-out holes in her knees and thighs.
This girl is well-proportioned, her face is not pretty, but there is a faint trace of morbid tenderness. His cheeks were flushed, and he seemed a little sick.
"Andalu?!" Gallon recognized the girl immediately, and his good memory allowed him to quickly recall the girl's identity.
Andalu, Marlene, Bai Lan, and Aishiya, the four of them are the most prominent combination of noble children in the entire Green Forest Province.
I didn't expect to see Andalu alive now.
"What's wrong with you? It looks like you're sick?" Garen hurried over. He still had a good impression of this girl who had always had a little admiration for him back then.
"What about Bai Lan and the others? Where's Marlene? How are you?" He still missed the time when he was dawdling in the foursome, it was a rare time for him to relax.
"Bai Lan and Marlene were taken to the capital by the family. Marlene was seriously injured by a monster attack and had to go to the capital to be healed. I have nowhere to go now." Andalu lowered her head in a depressed mood stand up.
Hathaway walked over and held her gently in her arms. "When Andalu's family was transferred, they were attacked by monsters and couldn't stop them. Everyone scattered and fled. I don't know how the rest of the people are doing. I also met her when I came here. If it wasn't for Bailan Escorting our totem master, probably" She didn't finish, but the meaning was already very clear.
"Sister and mother will be fine." Anda Lu whispered.
"Let's go, go back to the manor first. Tell us about your experiences by the way. Settle your life first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Gallon knew that Bai Lan's identity was more noble than him, and he should be the strongest in the entire Green Forest Province. family. The forces should be strong. Don't worry about him, that guy's family has a deep background in the capital and even in the royal family.
"I have to find a way to inform my uncle in the capital, and he will find a way for me. He loved me the most when I was young." Andalu whispered.
The families of the four are inextricably linked throughout Cowichan. That is Garen, that is, Ahishia's father Vindman belongs to the academic nobleman, but even so, in the research institute, the three major institutions, Vindman has a lot of relationships and favors, and now in times of chaos, Barba Fia also came to help because of this terrifying connection.
The families of Andalu and the other two are also extremely powerful. As long as people are alive, there is still a great chance of turning around.
*******************
hum.
A burst of silver light beams projected from Baker's stone eyes, quickly forming a group of silver swirl patterns on the wall.
The graphics kept changing, and soon formed an extremely complicated map network. On the Internet, two white and green dots clearly appeared.
"This is the map of the entire maze. It's not complicated. There are only 322 forks. It's just that the technology of building the maze is a bit backward, and it seems that it took a lot of energy." Baker Stone Eye said lightly.
Tarion behind him looked bored, hands behind his head.
"Anyway, I'll follow you, and I'll do whatever you say. Don't tell me these complicated things, I'll feel dizzy when I hear them."
boom! boom! boom! !
There was another sound of heavy footsteps in the passage ahead.
"It's coming again, it's annoying! It's endless!" Tarian waved his right hand impatiently, and the dark owl beast reappeared. "This monster is so annoying! You have to kill it five times to get rid of it completely!"
