Gronn and the wood elf girl gathered their auras along the way and kept changing their routes in the maze. ＋◆Top＋◆Point＋◆Little＋◆ said,
Except for the towering walls of this super giant maze, the internal passages are no different from the ordinary surface. It has uneven terrain, there are also some dead demonized plants scattered around, and you can even find some caves and caves. Yes, but no one knows where these passages that exude malice and ominousness will lead to, and whether there will be terrible hell monsters living in them. Therefore, no one would choose to enter these caves unless absolutely necessary.
According to Luna, the elf's "living map", they have probably reached the central area of the maze. They were quite lucky along the way. They never encountered a terrifying opponent like the tyrannosaurus monster again. They encountered it by chance. For some monsters such as human-faced dogs and human-faced birds, Goron does not need to use the means of pressing the bottom of the box. He can deal with them with only brute force and two shots at most.
And their only problem now is still food. Of course, Gronn can eat wherever he goes. Although those maze monsters look weird and scary, and a little disgusting, they are nothing to an ogre as food. The problem is, the taste is unexpectedly good. After eating too much, there is a vague feeling of overall comfort and physical enhancement, but I can't confirm it. Even without these "advantages", just having sufficient sources is enough.
However, the elf girl was about to die... Before meeting Gronn, she had been hungry for a long time in the halfling mage team. Gronn did not lie. What he gave to the halfling mage was indeed the last bit of "normal food" on his body. But if he had expected that an elf known for his preciousness and delicate temperament would join the team, he would not have handed over the food so readily just because he was afraid of the halfling's keen sense of smell and terrifying persistence in food.
The vast majority of elves are vegetarians. There are only fruits and vegetables in the daily menu, and only a few eat small amounts of meat. Although wood elves will also hunt wild beasts and magical beasts in their own forests. But their main purpose is to obtain necessary materials such as animal skins and magic crystals, and occasionally hunt wild animals for food. They will only select and kill a small number of wild creatures that they consider to be pure and clean. Such as the Labyrinth Monster, which is ugly and strange, with unknown origins. The most terrifying thing is that it has more or less human characteristics. Let alone eating them, just looking at their corpses will make elf girls feel uncomfortable. A sickening feeling.
Although elves are unusually capable of enduring hunger, sometimes a meal or two is all that matters. But in such a harsh environment as the Hell Abyss, without eating or drinking, and having to travel and fight, Luna Moon Shadow's body had already reached its limit. During this period, Goron forced her to drink some monster blood, but the girl's delicate and difficult-to-maintain stomach returned all these things with interest, and almost killed her. In this way, even Goron no longer dared to force her to eat monsters.
Hunger has completely destroyed the elf girl's body. Her weak body is as light as a feather, and the fire of life may be extinguished at any time. In desperation, Gronn could only carefully hide Luna Moon Shadow, who was weak and unconscious and unable to move, in a gap in the maze wall, and then moved a lot of dry plants to cover it up. Then if Gronn can't find food that can fill the troublesome elf's picky stomach within two or three hours, he will have to go on his own in the future... Gronn has been completely confirmed at this time . If he loses the "living map" of the elf girl, he can only wander around in this super maze that is comparable to a giant city, and then pray to the ancestral spirits to make a blind cat encounter a dead mouse, and find the exit or escape by luck alone. It's a treasure trove.
****
Gronn already knows a lot from Luna Moon Shadow. Coupled with some of his own guesses, Gron already had a general understanding of the current situation. He knew that the most likely place to get normal food now was the large groups of people with large anti-magic barriers. The food they carried could be protected from the miasma of the hell abyss. But even if you can meet them. Gronn was not sure of getting food from their hands. Without any supply support, no one would give away food that is as important as life. As for robbery, it is even more unrealistic. Gronn is not arrogant enough to think that he can rob an elite army.
So Gron's goal is to focus on the other two possibilities...
In addition to large-scale anti-magic wards that can resist the demonic pollution of the miasma of the Hell Abyss, if there is just one or two levels in a small team, it will be good. If a priest who reacts quickly enough opens a small anti-demon barrier in time, it is possible to avoid the contamination of the demonic miasma. If he carries one or two holy objects such as good-grade holy guardian talismans with him, it will be difficult to keep the food he carries with him. Being tainted by demonization is not completely impossible.
Everyone knows that the "Knights of the Holy Fire" is synonymous with "rich", "tycoon" and "golden leaves". Although holy objects with sacred purification capabilities are rare and expensive, there is no telling which young master or lady will have one. In fact, Goron and the elf girl not long ago encountered a small team composed of a dozen members of the Holy Fire Knights. Among them were two powerful priests. The personnel were basically not demonized, and only one person had a forehead. A short horn protruded from the body, and the skin of the other person became dark red and rough. However, apart from their violent temper, they did not look like they had completely lost their minds, and they were able to fight side by side with their companions.
The most important thing is that these people all look good and don't look like they are starving. It's a pity that this group of people took the initiative to attack without any explanation after encountering Goron. Two of them were killed by Goron's Wind Fury Magic Bullet and Stone Tooth Magic Bullet. This group still had the upper hand in numbers and had very good level equipment. The young master and lady knights actually chose to turn around and run away. Gronn was afraid of hurting Elf Luna in the melee and was unable to pursue her, thus missing a valuable opportunity to snatch food resources.
Now Goron's main target is naturally them. As long as he can catch up with this group of people, he will keep them even if he transforms into a man-eating King Kong again.
However, even Goron himself knows how slim this hope is. It is not easy to pursue a target that can move on its own in the maze. The probability is even comparable to the possibility of him wandering around in the maze and randomly picking up one or two artifacts from the ground. Sexually equivalent. But at this moment, what other choice does he have besides doing this
Fortunately, Goron's memory is still very good. In addition, he also learned some tips from the wood elves on memorizing paths and identifying directions in the maze. As long as he is active in nearby areas that have been explored, Goron will I am confident that I will not get lost. Of course, the most important thing is that before the elf girl became weak and passed out, she still managed to draw the map in her mind on a piece of parchment and handed it to Gronn. This was also his biggest basis for acting alone.
Gronn first returned to the place where he met the team of young knights, and then relied on the remaining smell to choose the direction to follow. Although the ogre is not known for his sense of smell, Gronn, as a chef, has been trained for a long time. The sense of smell is finally good. It's just that the thick fog that smells of sulfur is still there, causing serious interference to all senses. I'm afraid even the dog and wolf tribe among the orcs can't bite the target just by smell, so what Gronn needs most is still luck.
At this time, he was running at high speed in a maze passage that was more than 20 meters wide and had a relatively straight path. Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly, his steps stopped suddenly, he suddenly stopped all the breath in his body, and then squeezed his body into a pile in the corner of the wall. Among the broken masonry.
In just a few breaths, a fishy wind blew in the passage he was running in, and a giant lizard-like, wingless, six-legged beast covered in fiery red scales rushed past. Its footsteps were extremely heavy, and when its sharp claws trampled the ground, it actually made the walls of the maze tremble slightly, and dust particles scattered from high places from time to time.
"Hell Salamander!"
Goron was pleasantly surprised. Unlike those labyrinth monsters with strange and irregular shapes and obvious human characteristics, the Hell Salamander, like the Nightmare Beast and Cerberus, is a known abyss that has been clearly recorded for a long time. The species is said to be the mutated product of the six-legged rainforest demon lizard that was led into the abyss by the demons and adapted to the environment. It often appears as a mount or beast for the demon warriors on the battlefield to resist the invasion of demons.
The strength of this Hell Salamander should be around the fifth level, comparable to the King of War warriors in the Blade Tower Continent, and even more powerful than the tyrannosaurus monster that Goron encountered before, but at this time, this one is as powerful as a dragon. The giant beast is in a very embarrassed state. If you look closely, you can see that it is already covered in scars. Its scales are broken in many places, and its flesh and blood are flying everywhere. One eye is broken into a ball, and crystal clear mucus is flowing down the corner of the eye. Two of the six long legs are moving. It looked extremely unnatural, and the bones had been broken violently.
It was running very hard, no doubt trying to escape. So the question is, what could force this powerful hell creature into this situation
Thinking of this, Goron curled up with all his strength. Just when he wished he could awaken the shadow fighting spirit, seven small snakes of light that had not moved in his body for a long time unexpectedly emerged again and scurried around his body. After the "destruction", they disappeared one after another, leaving only a small blue snake lingering inside his body. In Gron's opinion, this process was extremely slow, as if days and nights had passed, but in fact it happened in an instant. When Gron regained consciousness, he felt that something was slightly wrong with his body. Then he suddenly realized that he was obviously lying down, and he could see his wrist when he lowered his eyes, but now he could only see a pile of rocks. Goron was startled, and instinctively activated his clairvoyant eyes. Then he saw where his arm should have been. There was a slight distortion in the light and space. If he looked carefully, he could see the edge of the distortion. The lines outline the shape of his own arm.
Then Goron understood that at this time, he had actually entered an invisible state. (To be continued...)
