Not long after being kidnapped like this, Ronald struggled and shouted.
Catalina let go decisively, walked around Ronald and leaned out with a smile:
"What? Are you willing to leave now?"
"Weren't you still timid and hesitant just now?"
Ronald immediately defended:
"What does it mean to be timid? That's the trouble caused by careful consideration, okay? We are walking on a high-altitude wire rope now. If we accidentally fall down, we will be completely hopeless!"
"Pfft-" Catalina laughed directly.
"You are so careful, then why are you walking faster than me now?"
You can’t say that you are passionate and want to have the courage to move forward, right?
Ronald raised his eyebrows, and for his own sake, he began to argue with Catalina:
"If you want me to walk slower, don't push me next time."
"You keep pushing me forward, and there is no way you can slow down."
Seeing Ronald's appearance, Catalina was so lucky that she kept nodding in agreement:
"Okay, okay."
"It's my problem, my fault!"
"..."
After this commotion for a while, the conversation between the two gradually became quieter.
Fighting is also something that consumes physical energy, and they have no intention of continuing to waste it.
Next, more obstacles began to appear.
In addition to more forks and slopes, there are even ridiculous passages with an inclination of more than 90 degrees. Ronald and the two often have to lift people up first in the way of stacking Arhats, so that they can pass these difficult terrains.
It is impossible to say that you are not worried and nervous when walking in such an environment.
But with courage firmly holding the bottom in their hearts, Ronald and Catalina did not hesitate. They just overcame the difficulties and tried their best to move forward.
Finally, after a long step with a very steep slope.
A completely different scene came from the front.
There are no forks with multi-directional choices, no walls blocking the left and right, and no slopes that suddenly turn upward. Instead, there is a hollow feeling of opening up the space, which is displayed in front of people at the end of the tunnel.
——This is a cave entrance!
——And the hole means being able to get out of the tunnel!
Seeing such changes, Ronald and Catalina looked at each other.
The two of them rushed forward almost at the same time without saying a word.
Being brave and moving forward does pay off.
Not only did they escape the long and torturous climb, but they also saw hope that symbolized victory.
Then, just as they were about to rush out of the cave, Ronald and Ronald suddenly stopped together.
This is also a tacit understanding between the two.
Because they did not notice the danger when they left the tunnel one time, they fell into a trap and were kidnapped by jellyfish. They were finally thrown into the digestive river and had to face a critical situation of a narrow escape.
Now we are faced with a similar scene again.
Knowing how to learn their lesson, they stopped early and planned to take a look at the situation outside before going out.
In fact.
This caution did save their lives.
Outside the open tunnel exit, there is no ground that can be stepped on as expected, but a vertical cliff. If you rush out unprepared, free fall will be the next problem you have to face.
But after the two people poked their heads out, the next scene was even more surprising.
At the exit of the tunnel, we found that the walls of the entire space were filled with the kind of exits they were in, high and low. At a glance, they looked like Buddhist niches embedded in the wall.
At the same time, countless long white bridges were erected in the air, forming a chaotic structure that looked like a bird's nest, but also resembled the iron frame on top of a concert.
Watching the scene in front of her, Catalina opened her mouth to show off:
"Ronald, am I right? It is always right to move forward bravely."
Ronald had to nod and admit:
"Thank you for having me."
Everything is clear now.
The previous problems in the maze tested not the wisdom of solving the maze, but the determination to move forward.
For someone like Catalina, who has an unwavering goal and cannot be stopped no matter how many difficulties come her way, this can hardly be called a test.
But if you hesitate in the maze...
Then the countless tunnels leading to these densely packed exits will be terrible demons that consume time, and it is not surprising that people will even be trapped to death in them!
Catalina was very happy when Ronald recognized her.
She swept her eyes across the air and quickly locked onto the suspension bridge closest to their cave entrance. Then she took two steps back and began to accumulate strength for her sprint jump:
"So... now we just find our way on these suspended bridges, and then jump up little by little?"
"You wait first!"
But before Catalina could make a move, Ronald stopped him.
Unlike Catalina, who was ready to continue facing the challenge, Ronald, who was more observant, stuck to the ground at the exit, looking down, and then discovered an incredible result.
"Katerina, look down first."
Catalina relaxed, walked up with a complaining tone, and lay down next to Ronald:
"What's there to see?"
"It's nothing more than a fatal trap. At most, it's still moving upwards, telling us that if we climb slowly, we will be..."
Suddenly, Catalina's voice stopped abruptly.
Because following Ronald's guidance, she saw that there was no expected trap below. Instead, very far away, a dilapidated city dominated by trees was located at the bottom of this space.
.
"Isn't this Harmono?!"
Catalina immediately recognized the city's origins.
"After being crushed and swallowed by the giant dust beast, this thing appeared in its body?"
Ronald was also in disbelief.
But considering that this is a "maze picture book"-style world, it's not impossible to accept it.
"Katerina, it seems that we are not climbing up this time, but going down. And pay attention, there is something in the center of the city."
"..."
This time Catalina remained silent.
Because just inside the city of Harmono, the trees and buildings are dyed pitch black. Following this changing trend, looking inward, a black sphere is located in the center of the city.
How could Katerina not recognize this thing?
After all, looking at the current world, I am afraid that she is the only one who has personally contacted it and left an attack on it.
"Isn't this the core of the dust beast?"
Just then, the voiceover sounded——
[Oh oh oh! After experiencing countless difficulties and obstacles, the adventurer and his assistant finally overcame the difficulties and saw the city swallowed by the terrifying monster! 】
[However, the core of this huge monster is also below at this moment. 】
[Can they pass the final adventure and succeed in this dangerous place! 】
