Nightmare Card House
Chapter 98: Underground Maze
The newly joined trialists were not familiar with the way of fighting mummies, so some minor commotions occurred, which were finally resolved smoothly under the coordination and command of each team leader.
Half an hour later, as the last sarcophagus on the second floor was detonated by a summoned creature, the stone door leading to the entrance to the third underground floor was slowly moved to the side by the mechanism.
After a hard battle, they finally won. The newcomers breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their spirits. They gathered in twos and threes in the hall to rest for a while.
Seeing Cui Minghui and Hu Yang discussing something near the entrance, Fang Tian also walked over.
"Mr. Cui, is it not safe for you to go down alone? How about we ask a few people to follow you? Or after entering the third floor..."
"I said, no, no matter how many people you come, it's useless. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, it's good." Cui Minghui interrupted impatiently: "You all just wait here for me. I'll be here soon." It will come out.”
After saying that, Cui Minghui turned his back and walked alone toward the dark entrance to the third floor below.
As Cui Minghui left, the remaining team leaders looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what Cui Minghui was up to, but his straightforward attitude made people think he was very arrogant, which aroused everyone's disgust.
Fang Tian also felt puzzled, what was Cui Minghui doing? Is he confident enough to pass through the three underground floors alone? Or has he discovered something?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Hu Yang came out to rescue him and said, "It seems that Captain Cui already has his plan. That's fine. We'll just wait here for his triumphant return, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Cui Minghui is a person that the museum owner values and no one can offend him. It would be fine if he can lead everyone through this trial. If they fail, then they can also see his jokes.
After waiting in place for nearly ten minutes, the entrance to the passage was still silent, and no sound came from it.
Fang Tian looked at the entrance of the passage and fell into thinking. Can Cui Minghui really find the exit of the maze? In this case, wouldn't there be no way to get the key to clear the level?
Do you want to follow up and take a look?
Just when Fang Tian hesitated, Gu Chao quietly waved to the testers behind him.
After a conversation, Gu Chao led his group of trialists toward the entrance to the third floor.
Hu Yang, who was in front of the entrance on the third floor, saw Gu Chao and the others approaching. He frowned and stepped forward to stop them: "Gu Chao, do you want to bring someone in? Mr. Cui just said that we should wait here."
Seeing the looks from the people nearby, Gu Chao smiled and explained: "Hey, brother Hu Yang, don't be so nervous. Mr. Cui said he would be out soon. There has been no movement for more than ten minutes now. I'm a little worried. I just took people to the three floors below to see the situation."
Gu Chao said and patted Hu Yang on the shoulder, as if they were very familiar with each other, "Don't worry, I'll go down and have a look and come back. There are so many people here, nothing will happen. If something happens, Mr. Cui’s investigation has nothing to do with you.”
This matter originally had nothing to do with Hu Yang, but Hu Yang instinctively felt that something was not right. He winked at Fang Tiantian and wanted Fang Tian to help. After all, he alone could not stop Gu Chao.
Cui Minghui is not here, and the only person who can speak for Cui Minghui at this time is Fang Tian.
"Mr. Fang Tian, do you also want to stop me?" Gu Chao turned back to look at Fang Tian.
"That's not true." Fang Tian, who had been leaning against the wall and watching coldly, walked up at this time, waved his hands with a smile, and said: "Captain Cui has been in for so long, so it is normal for everyone to be a little anxious while waiting, but Gu It would be too dangerous for only a dozen or so of you to enter Chao. How about this. We each organize a few more people. It doesn’t need to be too many. Each group will send five people to come up. Let’s go in and take a look. The rest will all stay here. Everyone. What do you think?"
"But Fang Tian..."
Gu Chao wanted to come up and whisper something to Fang Tian. Fang Tian stretched out his hand and said with a solemn expression: "There is no need to continue. When Mr. Cui is not around, I will make the decision on behalf of the card club. This matter Jess should have told everyone about this, right? If you have any objections, please communicate with the owner in private after this trial. As for the others, do you want to go down to the third floor and see if I am willing to go? Just organize five or six people to join us.”
Perhaps this proposal echoes the thoughts of the vast majority of people, or it may be that due to Fang Tian's identity as the administrator of the Card Hall, no one raised any objection at this time.
Gu Chao's expression changed several times. He looked like he was thinking about the pros and cons, and then changed into the smiling face again, "Mr. Fang Tian, what you said is right, let's quickly organize people to enter the third floor." Well, I'm worried that if it takes too long, Mr. Cui may be in danger down there."
Fang Tian gestured towards Hu Yang, and several team leaders began to prepare the manpower for the third floor.
Within a few minutes, a team of 30 people was quickly formed.
Without further ado, Fang Tian and Gu Chao walked at the front to clear the way.
Following the long stone steps, we descended into the hall on the third floor. After seeing clearly the situation on the third floor, everyone frowned in unison.
The entrance to the third floor is also a larger hall. There are six passage exits in sequence in front of the hall. Just standing here and looking roughly into the exits, you can vaguely see smaller forks behind the six exits.
This is a maze.
Very tricky.
The six passages are not wide, and can accommodate about four or five people in parallel. Going further, the passage after the fork will be narrower.
This is not conducive to the collective action of the players.
Once the maze separates the trial participants, they will be more likely to encounter danger.
After seeing the maze clearly, Fang Tian turned his eyes to the surrounding walls.
It is a mural.
There are murals here too.
Compared with the maze, the murals here make Fang Tian feel more weird. It seems that all the walls here are covered with murals, including the maze passage in front.
The patterns painted on the wall are terrifying and hideous.
Is this the skeleton warrior seen on the first floor before?
Unlike ordinary undead skeleton warriors, the skull bones on the murals are still wrapped with a layer of dry muscle tissue. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call them mummies.
The combat armor and accessories worn by their wearers during their lifetime are somewhat similar in style to the ancient Mesopotamian civilization. They hold shields and bright silver swords and spears in their hands, as if they are warning these intruders.
Skeleton warriors of ancient countries.
Fang Tian remembered that Hu Yang had called them this way before.
Just as Fang Tian was observing these murals, Gu Chao and his men exchanged a few words quietly.
Hu Yang looked around the six entrances, came back and said in Fang Tian's ear: "Fang Tian, I checked, Mr. Cui did not leave any marks here, he should have gone in alone to explore, what should we do next?"
"Of course we go in and look for it, if something goes wrong with Mr. Cui..."
As he was speaking, Gu Chao suddenly frowned, and he felt a slight shake coming from under his feet.
