Extraordinary Mechanical City

Ren led the "Mountain Antelope Group" out of the safe house and began to search for clues in the maze.

He needs to collect more stone murals, let the system complete the "puzzle" of the entire underground palace, and find the correct way to leave the maze.

Along the way, corpses can be seen in almost every stone room.

One or two less, dozens more.

Most of the wounds were on the neck, and the blood was sucked dry and died.

Obviously, this is the masterpiece of the dog-headed monster.

There were many dead hunters, and there were also many kobolds.

In the tunnel, the ratio of the two is almost one to one.

This also directly shows that the tens of thousands of wild hunters who entered the ruins have "consumed" all the kobolds in the maze with their lives.

And because of the number of people, most of the traps and organs in the underground palace have been triggered.

Now, the entire maze is almost free of danger.

Simply turned into a sleepy maze.

This is also the effect that the nobles of the Rosas family want to see when they play tricks. Without the deadly threat, it is the time for their large official teams to enter the arena.

Ren also finally understood the purpose of those guys giving everyone a [Evil Resisting Magic Bracelet] before entering the maze.

There are indeed some low-level evil-proof enchantments on the bracelet.

But Ren felt that it was just a deceptive thing, and the biggest function of the bracelet should be "positioning".

Those guys can confirm the number of remaining survivors in the maze by sensing the movement of the "magic mark" on the bracelet; they can also judge that the danger of the dungeon is gradually decreasing through the frequency of attrition; they can also use the distribution of magic marks to determine Determine the structure of the entire maze.

Serves multiple purposes.

Those guys also used this method, and they mastered too much useful information with almost no effort.

I have to say that this plan to bury tens of thousands of ordinary hunters is a bit insane, but it does allow those noble lords to quickly explore the maze.

Ryan's guess is also correct.

It was just midnight when the tens of thousands of wild hunters first entered the underground labyrinth, but now the sky outside is about to dawn.

But after just seven or eight hours, the maze was already full of corpses.

But outside the underground palace, it was another peaceful scene.

Just as Ren and the "Mountain Brigade" set out to search for clues in the maze, in the camp outside the temple, the senior members of the Rosas family were staring at a magic light screen, discussing something.

This is a magic location phenomenon device.

Glory City is the capital of magic, so there is no shortage of such high-level magic equipment.

The densely packed dots on the light screen are the positions of the marks on each magic bracelet.

Through this light screen, these noble gentlemen also clearly saw the layout of the entire underground palace.

If Ren was here, he would be surprised. The whole picture of the underground palace is the shape of the irregular polyhedron "Rubik's cube" he guessed.

And as time went by, fewer and fewer hunters survived in the underground palace.

Unless they are seriously injured and unable to move, there will be absolutely no hunters who will stay in the same place for too long.

In the beginning, there were "dog head monsters" who seemed to be urging everyone to flee; now that there is not much crisis, the survivors will eagerly choose to find the "exit".

Then, those "light spots" will continue to move on the magic screen.

There are more and more stationary light spots, less than one tenth of them are still moving.

It is the division of these light spots that allows these nobles to clearly and real-time control the situation in the underground palace.

Not long after, the staff responsible for the observation came to the conclusion that the ruins could be entered.

A steward opened his mouth to the two green-haired youths on the main seat of the tent, and reported: "His Royal Highness Prince Harper, Master George, there are about 3,000 people in the maze who are still moving the 'Magic Mark'. The frequency of attrition is already very low. , it seems that those monsters and organs should have been triggered almost. The staff thinks that the risk of entering the ruins is now very low."

There is no need to personally risk yourself, these nobles naturally have smiles on their faces.

No one expected that such a dangerous expedition to explore the ruins would break the deadlock so easily.

"Okay! Let the pioneer group go in and open the way. By the way, bring those [polymaths] and [archaeologists] along, and let them find a way to enter the second floor of the mausoleum as soon as possible."

"yes."

"."

With an order, a large hunting group dedicated to the nobles began to organize their exploration equipment and entered the ruins one after another.

And those "pioneer groups" who pretended to take the lead in entering the ruins before also rested in some entrance corridors. Now get the message and start really going into the depths of the maze.

As the young lord of the "Black Wind Collar", Young Master George was in a very good mood.

This is the most well-preserved ancient civilization relic of Monkel discovered so far. The value of the treasures excavated just outside the relic exceeds expectations. It is conceivable that the treasure deep in the relic will never disappoint.

If it is fully discovered, it will definitely be great news for the Rosas family. With these treasures, they can recruit more cavalry and guards of the lord.

But at this time, he looked at the black-robed witch with the green staff beside him, and said with a loud smile: "Hahaha, Master Jizela, your method really works! Otherwise, if we really want to let our own people go in and explore, why don't we go in?" Only by knowing how many people die can we find out the situation of the labyrinth. Now that only a few refugees have died, the gate of the ruins has been opened to us, and you should be the first to contribute.”

Hearing this, the black-robed witch's expression didn't change much, and she said calmly: "It's all for His Majesty the king, and a small contribution is not worth mentioning. But Master George, I still want to reiterate that there must be a poisonous treasure in this underground palace." .I'm not interested in anything else, but if the [The Holy Grail of Malacath] is in it, I must get it. Also, if someone else encounters that thing, you'd better inform me, otherwise there will be an accident. A lot of people could die."

"no problem."

"."

On the other hand, the "Mountain Antelope Group" led by Renn is also progressing rapidly in the maze.

There were no surprises along the way.

Now Ren has a high resistance to the paralysis toxin. Even if he encounters three or five kobolds biting at the same time, he will be very weakly affected by the paralysis, and he can easily fight back.

Everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" followed him, and there was no reduction in staff.

Originally, the number of monsters in the maze was already very rare, even if one sprang out occasionally, no one would die if it was bitten.

Every time a new stone room is passed, there will be a few more "puzzle" pieces in the system.

The special symbols engraved on those walls are also collected more and more, and the translated "meanings" are becoming more and more accurate.

Finally, an hour later.

There was no need to explore the entire maze, and Renn cracked the "breaking key" of the maze.

"'' is downward, '' is upward, '' is forward, '' is backward, and '' is a trap"

Lane discovered a special pattern of symbols on the rock wall.

He also knew that this moving "maze" was a bit like taking an elevator up and down.

But it is not a direct elevator, but a complex system composed of many "local floor elevators".

Each section of "elevator" will only run on a specific floor, either left or right, or up or down.

If you keep walking in one direction, you will definitely not be able to get out, as that will only make you loop endlessly in a certain dead end.

You must follow the prompts on the wall, and occasionally you need to turn around and go back, and change to "another elevator" to reach the deepest location.

This is also the brilliance of this maze.

Even for those who can understand "Monkel's ancient text", those special symbols need a lot of evidence to deliberate their meaning, which requires people to collect symbols in the tunnel and find the rules.

If the kobold was still there before, this would definitely be a near-death process.

Now that there is no kobold that is elusive, and Ren has the assistance of his "intelligent brain", he can easily decipher the law.

Everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" didn't understand at all why this "Doctor Nicholas" led them forward for a while, and then left for a while, but no one complained at all.

They encountered too many corpses along the way, which also made them rich.

Almost all the tens of thousands of hunters scraped away all the funerary objects in this underground palace and packed them with them.

Bart and those people walked all the way, collecting money all the way, and their bags became heavier and heavier.

After all, manpower was limited, and in the end they had to discard some pure gold wares, and only chose to take away some more precious gemstones, mithril, and more exquisitely crafted jewelry and antiques.

In this way, I explored the maze all the way without encountering any accidents.

Not long after, Ren discovered that they had reached the end of the corridor.

In the distance, he saw a stone gate.

Standing beside him is a conspicuous stone tablet, engraved on it: [Trial Brave, congratulations, your wisdom and bravery have passed the test of 'Osiris' Labyrinth'. 】

He carefully observed all the marks on the wall, and after not finding any hints that it might be a trap, he continued to move forward.

Then, everyone saw the stone gate at the end of their field of vision and stopped.

Because before reaching the door, everyone smelled a strange smell coming from the shop. Even through the gas mask, Bart and the others behind him felt a sense of dizziness.

"No, it's poisonous gas!"

Instinctively, they retreated tens of meters before stopping.

However, Ren didn't move at all.

This level of toxin has no effect on his current body. He looked at the stone gate that spewed "poisonous gas", his eyes flickered in thought for a moment.

The sudden appearance of the stone gate blocked the way, and everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" was also stunned.

They didn't see the ruthless and endless stone chambers and corridors anymore, and they suddenly felt a little unaccustomed to it. After a moment of stupefaction, they finally came to their senses. This "Doctor Nicholas" seemed to have really led them to find a way out.

"Have we reached the end of the maze?"

"Seems to be."

"But, this doesn't seem to be the entrance we came from before."

"."

Everyone originally wanted to leave the maze, but they suddenly reached the end of the corridor, and suddenly felt uneasy.

If there weren't tens of thousands of lives to pile up the maze before, they would definitely not be able to get here alive.

Therefore, it is unavoidable that there may be some new danger behind this stone gate.

Listening to the whispers in his ears, Ren also considered this issue.

There must be unknown dangers.

But since it is a "land of trials", the maze is obviously just an appetizer.

He felt that after this stone gate, it might be the real rewarding place.

Even if there is risk, there is vitality.

Ren felt that the greatest joy in this world for him was to "explore the unknown" besides extraordinary power.

He naturally planned to go in and find out.

But seeing this, Ren also understood that the next road is not suitable for leading the "Mountain Antelope Group" to continue walking.

The toxin in the door is not a big problem for him, but it poses a fatal threat to ordinary people.

He glanced back at Bart, smiled and said, "Commander Bart, I'm going to go down and have a look. I won't be with you guys."

"But."

Bart's expression was slightly complicated, he hesitated to speak, "Then you."

He naturally knew that Renn said such words to take care of their safety. But thinking about being taken care of all the way, he didn't help at all, which made him feel a little sorry.

But he also understands that they are not qualified to accompany this big man on the next road.

Moreover, he survived by luck this time, and the treasures he harvested have far exceeded expectations, so there is no need to continue taking risks. So are his players.

"Don't mind me."

Ren shook his head with a smile and didn't say much.

Because he was an old friend, he felt that he was not bad, so he took care of him.

Not too familiar, not even to the point of needing to say anything else.

Ren didn't talk too much, took out a pen and paper and wrote down the meaning of the special symbols he had analyzed, and said, "I have already cracked the law of this maze, you should be able to get out if you write down the meaning of these symbols I wrote. "

He walked over, handed the paper to Bart, and said, "However, there may be no danger in the maze now, but the nobles outside are also a hidden danger. If you go out directly now, you will definitely cause trouble."

"this"

Bart looked at the paper in his hand with a complicated expression.

It turns out that this big shot really deciphered the maze.

Shock, emotion, and bitterness are intertwined in my heart. How lucky I am to meet such a big shot who takes care of their "Mountain Antelope Group" everywhere.

But the other party didn't say much, so naturally he didn't ask too much.

Bart also naturally understood the truth in Ren's words.

This maze is so complicated that it is impossible for most people to get out alive. If they went out directly, they would definitely be suspected.

At this time, he thought of something, and said decisively: "Mr. Nicholas, don't worry, even if you die, we will not expose you!"

Hearing what the group leader said, everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" expressed their opinions one after another, "Yes, we will never expose you."

"Not that serious."

Ren shook his head with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "If you really can't hide it, it doesn't matter if you tell the truth."

After all, Bart and the others knew that their information was very limited, so it wasn't a big problem if they were exposed.

After a pause, he suggested: "However, I don't think there is much danger in the maze anyway, you can find a safe house to stay for a while. Those noble hunters will definitely enter the maze in the near future. Just find an excuse and go out. That will save a lot of trouble."

"good."

Everyone in Bart nodded.

Ren didn't say any more about the details. Bart is a shrewd old wilderness hunter, and he will find a way to deal with the rest.

Ren waved his hand and said, "Okay, see you again."

"Mr. Nicholas, take care."

Under everyone's gaze, Ren walked into the stone gate with steady steps.
