In the temple, the light was already dim, but when it was illuminated by the green fire balls above Lin Baici and others, it looked very ghostly.
Lin Baici ran all the way.
"Xiao Linzi, I will be the vanguard and you will direct the direction!"
Xia Hongyao did not question Lin Baici's choice, and even took the initiative to take on the most dangerous task of exploring the route, so that Lin Baici could not be distracted and focus most of his energy on identifying the route.
Otherwise, Lin Baici would have to worry about whether he would step into a trap.
Hua Yueyu and Jin Yingzhen followed behind, holding staffs and ready to attack at any time. Their expressions were serious, and they didn't complain at all even if they ran out of breath.
At this moment, they were competing with each other, and neither wanted to become Lin Baici's burden.
After running for more than a hundred meters, Lin Baici encountered the third fork in the road and turned directly to the left.
"Captain, can he do it?"
Fang Tianhua was worried: "Why do I feel like he's a little reckless?"
"Do you have a better way?"
Fei Xiao asked back.
Fang Tianhua shook his head.
"Then just run!"
Fei Xiao didn't think Lin Baici was running around, because every time he came to a fork in the road, he made a choice directly without hesitation.
There is also Xia Hongyao, whose trust in Lin Baici has exploded. Not only did she not question it, she also took the initiative to clear the way. If Lin Baici made a mistake in judgment, she would be the first to suffer.
Of course, the most important reason why Fei Xiao followed was that he had no idea if he was asked to choose.
"It seems that under the pressure of the one-hour death curse, Lin Baici began to show his true trump card!"
Fei Xiao estimated that Lin Baici must have some kind of mysterious and powerful divine grace at the bottom of the box, and would not use it unless absolutely necessary.
"Lin...Master Lin, I...I can't run anymore!"
"Wait for me!"
“Not even the donkeys working in the countryside are so tired!”
Everyone was panting while running, and there was a burning pain in their lungs and throats. They felt like they didn't have enough air, but they didn't dare to stop.
In this kind of terrain, once they lost track of Lin Baici, they felt certain death.
Lin Baici walked all the way with these people and got a general understanding of their physical fitness. This speed was already beyond his control, otherwise he would have run at full speed. Except for Xia Hongyao, Fei Xiao, and Fang Tianhua, no one would have been able to
Can't keep up.
Even so, some people started to fall behind.
They watched themselves being thrown further and further away, and cried out anxiously and desperately.
[Ignore these trash fish at the bottom of the food chain, go ahead and eat the Pharaoh alive!]
Nagami urged, eager to have a big meal.
Lin Baici stopped.
"No way?"
Fang Tianhua was depressed, this was a dead end, he secretly gave Fei Xiao a look, saying that Lin Baici's choice was not reliable!
Fei Xiao was more calm than Fang Tianhua. He said nothing and waited for Lin Baici to take action.
Lin Baici looked at the wall at the end of the passage.
There are many murals on it, which together seem to tell a legendary story of a hero who killed demons, established a big empire, and brought good harvests and stability to people.
[Please shout three times, ‘Ancient Egypt, your Pharaoh is back again’!]
[Be sure to shout with the loudest voice to show your domineering attitude!]
【I return! I kill! I conquer!】
Lin Baici felt that this slogan was a bit shameful. If time had not been tight, he would have asked Xia Hongyao to recite it!
"Xiao Linzi, do you have any clues?"
Xia Hongyao stared at this mural with all his brain power, trying to decipher the mystery.
"have!"
Lin Baici's answer made everyone look over instinctively.
"Are you bragging?"
Fang Tianhua felt that it would be a big deal if Lin Baici could reveal the secret of this mural in such a short period of time.
Is Wu Zhaokun also called a genius?
He's not even worthy of carrying Lin Baici's shoes.
"Ahem!"
Lin Baici cleared his throat, endured the shame, brewed his emotions for a while, and then shouted out.
"Ancient Egypt says, our pharaoh is back again!"
This voice, if you don't look at Lin Baici's extremely young face, still has some richness, majesty, and domineering.
Everyone was shocked by Lin Baici's sudden words, but they were more confused.
What is this?
Lin Baici gritted his teeth and yelled twice more.
"..."
The whole place was silent, only the echo echoed in the dark passage.
“I think it’s more useful to shout Open Sesame!”
Fang Tianhua suggested.
"Open Sesame is a fairy tale from the Middle East!"
Hua Yueyu was speechless. It seemed that there was also a Jiuluoyu among the divine hunters.
"There's nothing you can do anyway, why not treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor? Besides, there's nothing to lose by giving it a try?"
Fang Tianhua shrugged his shoulders.
Lin Baici's three words were like a joke, which lightened the solemn atmosphere a lot.
"Who says there won't be losses?"
Fei Xiao asked back.
In some rule pollution, there is no such thing as "trying". A mistake is directly judged as a failure.
You can wait to die.
"Well!"
Fang Tianhua was speechless, thinking about how to reply, when the wall in front of him suddenly made a rumble and began to rise upwards.
Wow! Wow!
Some dust, sand, and stone powder fell down.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Everyone was choked and uncomfortable, but their expressions were uplifting.
"It actually works?"
Fang Tianhua was stunned.
"..."
Fei Xiaoxin can tell the truth, this guy definitely has the gift of prophecy and divination, otherwise it would be impossible to find the key to clearing the level at once.
Queen Scorpion, who had been following Lin Baici silently, suddenly wanted to ask, is this your home?
Otherwise, why are you so familiar?
"gone!"
Lin Baici took the lead and passed through the stone gate.
After walking forward for more than ten meters, everyone came out of the passage and entered a hall.
It is as big as two football fields. The ground is paved with stone slabs, and each piece is a cube with a side length of one meter.
There are also mural patterns on these floors.
On the wall of the hall, every ten meters, there is a copper lampstand with a tallow candle burning on it, with green smoke rising.
It's just that the hall is too big and the candle light is too weak, so it's still dark here.
"My sixth sense tells me that there is a trap here!" Xia Hongyao looked around: "I'll go first to check the situation, you guys will wait later!"
After Gao Ponytail finished speaking, he stepped on a stone slab.
Boom!
The stone slab under her feet suddenly fell down at an extremely fast speed, catching her off guard.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely have fallen, but the high ponytail reacted very quickly, stretched out his right arm, and grabbed the edge of another floor.
"Red pill!"
Just when everyone thought Xia Hongyao had escaped disaster, the stone slab she was holding on to suddenly fell.
"Fuck!"
Fang Tianhua was shocked.
However, Xia Hongyao, who had suffered a loss, was already on guard. The moment she grabbed the stone slab, she used all her fingers to push it up.
Whoosh!
Xia Hongyao jumped up.
Fei Xiao shook his left hand, threw out a leather belt, wrapped it around Xia Hongyao's arm, and pulled her back.
"Do you think this level is a matter of luck, or is it based on wisdom?"
Hua Yueyu was nervous.
If you bet on luck, many people will die if you want to successfully walk across. If you rely on wisdom? Then where are the clues?
Hua Yueyu stared at the murals on the floor with his eyes widened.
Fei Xiao glanced back. The hall was too big, and there were too few of them. Even with cannon fodder, they could only cover half the distance at most.
[Gamble to the death, depending on luck, or be ruthless and let the cannon fodder explore the way!]
[Put down the lever handle on the opposite wall to disarm the trap! 】
"Almost fifteen minutes have passed!"
Gu Qingqiu kept paying attention to the time. When he saw that it was a quarter of the time before the one-hour limit, he spoke to remind him.
"I'll rush!"
Lin Baici took out the giant locust leg. This sacred object can increase his jumping ability. As long as he jumps far enough each time, he can reduce the number of steps on the stone slabs.
"no!"
Xia Hongyao and Fei Xiao both spoke.
"Let me do it, it's my turn to do my part!"
Fei Xiao moved his neck: "Otherwise, my dignity as the leader will be lost?"
"How sure are you?"
Because of Fei Xiao's words, Lin Baici had a good impression of him.
"Sixty percent!"
Fei Xiao stretched out his thumb and little finger and made a sign of six.
"This sacred object can increase jumping power!"
Lin Baici lent the giant locust leg to Fei Xiao.
"How about I do it?"
Xia Hongyao looked at the hall: "I'm 80% sure!"
"Captain Fei, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Lin Bai Ciquan pretended that he didn't hear Gao Ponytail's words. Even if she was 90% sure, he would not let her go: "Save your strength and fight the BOSS later!"
Time was running out, so Fei Xiao did not give in. He took the giant locust's leg and jumped twice quickly to get familiar with this sacred object, so as not to feel unfamiliar when using it.
"You see that stick on the opposite wall? Pull it off!"
Lin Baici pointed it out to Fei Xiao.
It was a one-meter-long wooden lever tilted upward.
With the eyesight of a divine hunter, even in dim light, he can still see the opposite side.
"I am leaving!"
Fei Xiao didn't ask the reason, Xin Lin Baici was right.
After he finished speaking, he ran out and landed directly on a stone slab seven meters away.
As he stepped on it, the stone slab fell with a rumble, and Fei Xiao walked away as soon as he touched it, a little faster than the falling stone slab.
Thirty meters!
Forty meters!
Fifty meters!
…
"Well done!"
Fang Tianhua cheered and raised his eyebrows at Lin Baici. The meaning was simple, is my team leader awesome?
But Lin Baici ignored him at all and stared at everything in the hall. He was trying to collect as much data as possible.
When Fang Tianhua saw this, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
Compared with others, his behavior was simply childish, so Fang Tianhua put away his competitive mentality, and now the most important thing is to work together to purify this rule pollution.
Fei Xiao rushed to eighty meters, and the stone slabs within a 120-degree range directly in front of him suddenly began to rise and fall, and they all moved, which made it difficult for him to judge.
If the stone slab starts to fall when he steps on it, it will be difficult for Fei Xiao to take off due to inertia.
Fei Xiao subconsciously stopped, wondering if he should walk from both sides. This would take a long way around, but would be safer.
【Can’t stop! Can’t stop!】
When Lin Baici heard Nagami's comment, he immediately shouted: "Don't stop, rush!"
When Fei Xiao heard this, he rushed forward.
Time was running out, so he stopped taking detours and went straight to the point of recklessness. He tightened his grip on the giant locust's legs and wanted to jump over these rising and falling stone slabs at once.
The moment he left, not only did the stone slab beneath his feet fall, but also the surrounding areas collapsed.
"Hold!"
Fei Xiao was startled, it was so dangerous!
Snapped!
Fei smiled and fell to the ground.
He was unlucky and happened to catch a falling stone slab, making it impossible for him to step on anything and use the force to take off, but he activated the divine grace.
puff!
Fei Xiao's tongue came out, three meters long, and stuck directly to a rising stone slab in front of him.
The tongue tightened like a spring, pulling him to the stone slab, where he somersaulted and landed on it, and then somersaulted again.
Fei Xiao used the frog tongue and giant locust legs to make a thrilling journey through the large stone trap and successfully reached the other side.
Without taking a breath, he rushed to the wooden stick lever, grabbed it, and pulled it down hard.
Kara!
Boom! Boom!
Those fallen stone slabs rose again and returned to their original state.
"Let's go!"
Lin Baici stepped on the stone slab.
Although everyone was afraid, with Lin Baici taking the lead, they felt inexplicably more confident in their hearts, as if they would be safe if they followed him.
Under this situation, there was no need for Lin Baici to urge them. Everyone used the strength to beat their love rivals and ran as fast as they could.
In less than a minute, most people passed safely.
There were still a few stragglers behind, but Lin Baici really didn't have time to wait for them.
"Captain Fei, awesome!"
Lin Baici praised him.
"Don't! Don't! In front of you, I can't be the leader of the group. If you think I'm a good person, I'll do it for you. Just call me Brother Fei, right?"
Fei Xiao valued Lin Baici very much. If he joined the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, he would definitely have a bright future, so it was better to build a good relationship in advance.
Moreover, Lin Baici's conduct as a person also made him feel very comfortable and worth making friends with.
"Brother Fei!"
Lin Baici smiled faintly.
"Ha ha!"
Fei Xiao patted Lin Baici on the shoulder and returned the giant locust leg to him: "I will open the way this time, don't argue!"
Fang Tianhua didn't know why.
Why is the leader so crazy today?
According to the team's tactical habits, agile and attentive members lead the way, with the team leader sitting at the center, because the BOSS must be fought in the end, so the team leader must stay focused.
But Fei Xiao is now a scout...
Isn't he trying to please Lin Baici?
Ahead is another maze area with various forks in the road. For most god hunters, this is not difficult, but it will waste time, and Lin Bai refuses to use it.
The god, the hunger radar, and the turtle shell allow him to find the most correct path every time.
After running for another seven minutes, Fei Xiao suddenly stopped after turning into a passage.
"Be careful, there is someone in front!"
Fei Xiao looked serious.
Everyone immediately prepared combat equipment.
"Who is it? Come out!"
Fang Tianhua burst into laughter.
A man in his thirties walked out of the shadows. He was wearing a light blue sportswear and looked like someone who works out regularly.
There is also a green flame on his head, which is very big.
"The front is impassable, there is a swarm of snakes..."
The sportsman originally wanted to say that there were some basilisks ahead, but when he saw the scorpion monster following Lin Baici, he was dumbfounded.
what's the situation?
"Are you a wild god hunter?"
Fei Xiao asked.
"Um!"
The athletic man nodded: "My name is Bian Xiang, and I usually work in Southeast Asia."
【A takeaway is delivered to your door!】
When Lin Baici heard this, he raised his eyebrows. The god had not shown any obvious hostility towards other god hunters before. So this sentence shows that this Bian Xiang may be a person who lost his way on the coast, or he may have something good in him.
, the god wants to eat.
"How many years have you been a god hunter?"
Not to mention that Fei Xiao, as a head of the Security Bureau, even an ordinary employee is qualified to interrogate this information.
Because this is the right given to them by the state's violent organs.
"Three years!"
Bian Xiang seemed very honest and answered all questions.
"Did you come through the previous levels alone?"
Xia Hongyao interrupted.
In the past, she would have definitely examined this man and invited him to join the Security Bureau. After all, being able to get here proved to be very powerful. But now, after having Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu, her vision has become higher.
"No, there are still two people, but in the snake cave in front, we were attacked and ran away!"
Bian Xiang looked fearful and hopeful: "Can I follow you?"
"Ask him!"
Fei Xiao pointed at Lin Baici.
A flash of surprise flashed in Bian Xiang's eyes. Fei Xiao seemed to be a tough guy at first glance, but he actually let a newcomer make the decision?
"I don't know what to call you?"
Bian Xiang had a humble attitude. He knew Lin Baici because he was a member of the Lost Coast, nicknamed Black Golden Ray. This time he came to Haijing just to kill this young man.
"Lin Baici!"
Lin Baici continued to walk forward.
"Let's take a detour. There are many poisonous snake monsters ahead. I tried, but I can't get past them!"
Bian Xiang persuaded him, and he tried several times but failed to get through.
"If it's just a snake, I can handle it!"
The Golden Scorpion Queen recommends herself.
"marvelous!"
Hua Yueyu was overjoyed: "Queen, I'm begging you!"
The Golden Scorpion Queen came to the front.
Bian Xiang followed Fei Xiao and couldn't hold it back: "Brother Fei, what is going on?"
He was really too curious.
This obviously intelligent monster is definitely not summoned by a god, but why does it want to be with humans?
"I don't know either!"
Fei Xiao couldn't say that the female scorpion was helping Lin Baici to have children with it, right?
Before everyone reached the end of the passage, there were already many snakes on the ground, colorful and piled together, like a layer of snake skin spread out on the ground.
They spat out letters and stared at these uninvited guests with triangular eyes.
Hiss! Hiss!
The Golden Scorpion Queen pursed her lips slightly and let out a hissing sound in her throat. The venomous snakes began to retreat as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
Everyone walked out of the passage and saw a large pit more than ten meters deep, larger than a university playground, and full of squirming poisonous snakes.
Their triangular eyes all stared at these humans. If the Golden Scorpion Queen hadn't been present, the snake wave attack would have already begun.
"Follow me!"
After the Golden Scorpion Queen finished speaking, she walked towards the pit.
"Is it reliable?"
Bian Xiang was worried that once he walked into the big pit and was attacked again, he would not be able to escape.
"I believe Lin Baici will not joke with his life!"
Fei Xiao kept up with him, but he couldn't be outdone by a newcomer.
Wherever the Golden Scorpion Queen went, the snakes avoided her. However, when she was approaching the deepest part of the pit, these poisonous snakes stopped moving and began to press forward.
