Green Monster Epic

Chapter 218 Maze

After spending a night in the Misty Forest, Allen and Salo adjusted their bodies to the best condition. Then, each carrying a full bag, they walked to the obsidian pillar. One of them reached out and placed a hand on the edge of the pillar, concentrating on the idea of entering the passage.

Allen only felt a sudden lightness and heaviness alternating. When he opened his eyes again, the misty forest scene had disappeared. He was now in a place where three sides were blocked by walls, and the place 6-7 meters above his head was also a gray-brown rock wall.

The long passage extended more than ten meters forward, and then the turning point was blocked by a rock wall, so you could not see the scenery further away. Only on the rock wall above, every ten meters or so, there was a fluorite placed, emitting a faint light.

Salo was beside Allen. At this time, after opening his eyes and seeing the strange environment, the first thing he did was to check the environment like Allen. However, in the passage with the same width of 6-7 meters, the scenery was so monotonous. Even if Salo's eyes were blurred, he could not see anything unusual.

"The parchment says that there are as many as eleven such passages in the Misty Forest, corresponding to the constellations of the Star Gods in the sky. It seems that our current location is a starting point of the maze."

The parchment in Salo's hand was copied from the parchment obtained from Mark and the others. At this time, he unfolded it to re-examine it, trying to find some more information, but when he put away the parchment, he did not see any other actions, it seemed that there was no gain.

"…"

Allen did not have much experience in breaking into mazes, so he just followed Salo blindly and let him lead the way.

"Let's just keep walking along this road. When we get to the fork in the road, let's make a mark. If we encounter a dead end, we'll just turn back."

Salo knew the most about mazes, but he only knew a Maze spell that was as high as level 8, but he had never experienced the power of this spell, let alone walked through the maze. The only useful thing was some small methods and tips about cracking mazes in the civilized world, which Salo recalled and applied flexibly.

"Okay."

Allen nodded, but suddenly waved a sword, directly hitting the seemingly solid rock wall. With a loud bang, a faint sword mark was left on the rock.

"Let's go."

It was meaningless to stay here. Salo walked in the front, but his figure gradually faded away, and he had used shadow energy to hide his figure.

Allen walked behind, several positions away from Salo's hidden figure, so that even if there was danger, the two could discover it in advance and react in time. According to the records on the parchment, in this maze, which was unknown how wide, not only were there two intruders, but also countless other unknown creatures that the original owners had placed here to live.

The maze was well-connected, but after only half a magic hour, Allen and Salo had already encountered 5-6 forks, and each fork seemed not to be a dead end. This made Allen and Salo more careful and cautious when traveling, and left a mark with the blade of their swords in front of the forks they passed.

However, what Allen and the others did not know was that just as they left the starting point they had just entered, the marks on the wall that had just been scratched by Allen's heavy sword were gradually fading and recovering until they returned to their original uneven appearance.

After half a day of turning around, Allen and Salo were confused by this complex and mysterious maze. It was not until they finally encountered a dead alley and turned back that they suddenly found that the marks they had left before had disappeared. In this way, the two of them had been completely lost in this maze.

Just as Allen and Salo were looking for a way out, in other places in this vast and mysterious maze, there were 4 other teams like them, exploring the way out of this maze. Some teams had already gained something, or encountered other creatures, and started a fight with them.

Among one of the teams, there was a face that Allen was very familiar with. It was the druid Oscar who had visited their village before. At this time, he was holding his staff, casting natural divine spells to heal his companions around him.

"Oscar, you don't have many divine spells left. Otherwise, you should transform into an Ironback Earth Bear to stand in front for a while."

Beside Oscar, a dwarf wearing a suit of chain armor and holding two gorgeous one-handed axes ordered Oscar unceremoniously.

"Okay."

Oscar agreed on the spot to the other party's order. The dwarf in front of him was the leader of this team.

Behind them, in a team of more than a dozen people, there were elves, humans, dwarves, and even kobolds and earth goblins. At this time, they were taking care of their injuries in this dead alley. They had just experienced a fierce fight, and the object of the fight was just clusters of man-eating flowers rooted in the soil.

Man-eating flowers are considered to be a kind of alien among plants because they lure animals to their side by releasing tempting nectar in their pistils, and then actively prey on the plants.

Because they are woody plants, their physical defense is more excellent, and their recovery is also extremely strong. The roots buried deep in the soil are their weapons and sensory organs. When the shock waves of active creatures approach, they will suddenly transform from harmless and flamboyant plants into ferocious and terrifying man-eating monsters.

Fire was originally the natural nemesis of plants. A single man-eating flower can actually be eliminated in this way, but when the scale of man-eating flowers reaches a certain number, they can secrete a kind of breath and liquid in the air and on the plant body to inhibit the burning of fire. At the same time, the activity of fire elements in the air is also inhibited.

Especially after a leader equivalent to the legendary rank was born among the man-eating flowers in the current open space, Oscar and his party, who were blocked by the man-eating flowers, could either stay in this dead alley all the time and wait for the end of the ruins' opening time, and then be ejected from this ruins; or they could only force their way through the territory of the man-eating flowers blocking the way ahead.

Nordin Sorese, the dwarf beside Oscar, is the leader of the Oak Church's Guardian Knights in Mansa City, and also one of the five legendary powerhouses that the church has placed in Mansa City. Even when he faced the man-eating flower leader, with the assistance of the powerhouse Oscar, he was unable to lead the team to break through the blockade in front of him, which shows how powerful the territory of the man-eating flowers ahead is.

In fact, what Allen didn't know was that the biggest difference between Oscar, whom he met almost two years ago, and Oscar, whom he had just met last month, was that the current Oscar was already a truly well-deserved master. As early as 3 months ago, Oscar finally found his own belief after nearly 60 years of honing and embarked on the road to legend.
