0652 Chapter 14: There is knowledge under the spring, Section 37
Qu Yun tangled her hair and bit her lip slightly: "It seems that there are no features that reveal the difference between each road, and the length of the road exceeds my imaging field...Xiao Nizi, can you see anything?"
"There is a slope. Two are upward, two are downward, and there is no end in sight." Kang Sini gathered the blood energy in her body into her eyes, and a pair of human red pupils appeared in the dark tunnel, emitting blood-colored fluorescence.
After thinking for another three to five seconds, Qu Yun made up her mind: "There is no time to waste. Since there is no clue to suggest the correct path anyway, we can only choose according to the only criterion, no matter how good it looks."
Ridiculous... Let's go, choose the third way!"
"Hey? Master, are you sure?" The strong sense of crisis ahead made Kang Sini a little nervous, but she still walked quickly to the front of Qu Yun.
Qu Yun said, having already stepped into the third road at the fork in the tunnel with four identical entrances: "Either my guess is right, or all four roads can lead to our destination, but they require different challenges.
If neither is the case, it can only mean that the designer of the maze left the situation of life and death completely to fate. If this is the case, then there is no way to embark on the road to death.
However, Sophocles is not such a boring god. Based on previous experience, what the Fate Challenge Labyrinth pursues is not illusory things like 'luck' or 'fate'. It does not accept the challenge and leave everything to fate, but accepts it.
The challenge is to decide your own destiny with your own strength.
All the life and death mechanisms and treasure burial places I have experienced here only reflect mathematical formulas, logic puzzles, and the need to learn to master abilities and evolve myself through hard work, just like when I obtained the Book of Retesin.
challenges.
If the destination before us really has the ultimate secret buried in the maze, then I think there will be no difference here."
The tunnel was indeed very long, but despite knowing that time was running out, the two of them did not dare to move forward too fast. Qu Yun kept flying in the air. Although this would continue to consume her magic power, it could also avoid most traps.
And Kang Sini was actually flying at this moment. She really turned into a little bat and fluttered around Qu Yun. If it hadn't been buried in complete darkness, it would have been a joyful scene of a little witch traveling with her familiar.
This is a new ability awakened in her bloodline after she advanced to count. It's just very inconvenient. In this form, she can't fight in the air like Qu Yun. At the same time, because she has too many shortcomings, she is often ridiculed and ridiculed by Yin Xiyi in various ways.
, so she rarely uses it.
As Kang Sini had expected, there were indeed many traps hidden in the passage. Interestingly, some of them that could not be avoided had been induced and dealt with. The thick dust on the exposed trap structure showed that it had been there for many years.
Things from the past.
This made Qu Yun almost convinced that she had chosen the right path, until...
"Stop a moment. There seems to be a relief on the wall in front of me?" Qu Yun carefully checked to make sure there was no danger under her feet before landing on the ground in front of the relief.
Most of the tunnels and rooms in the Destiny Challenge Labyrinth are as plain as a normal dungeon, with bare stone walls and uneven floors.
But once something strange appears, such as verses, symbols, magic emblems, lights, or reliefs like here. Then it either points to the hiding place of the treasure or warns of a fatal trap.
"Yes, I can see clearly," the little bat followed and fell down, transforming into a human form to protect Qu Yun: "It's very similar to the relief we saw under the Lizard Girl's building, which was the one that was finally destroyed by the apostle.
There should be a god in the middle. He stands upright in the void, radiates light, and fights thousands of troops. The only difference from the last time is that most of the soldiers and horses fighting him are very similar to what we just encountered at Lamarck's former residence.
That kind of angel.
In contrast, the humanoid monsters with goat heads and bat wings near the bottom of the relief that are worshiping at his feet must be the legendary demons in this watch world...ah?!"
On the last word of the statement, her tone suddenly turned into an exclamation. For a moment, Kang Sini felt that she couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.
She first felt that the many demons on the stone sculptures slowly turned their heads to look at her as if they were alive, and then she was surprised to realize that they were really waiting for their goat-like rectangular vertical pupils to stare directly at her, and...
They all stand outside the relief!
"One, two, three, four, five. Each one exudes the pressure of climbing a ladder... Master, maybe Sophocles is really a boring god." I really saw it.
A powerful enemy, Kang Sini abandoned all her nervousness and instead exuded a strong fighting spirit, joking in a relaxed tone.
The realm in Lamarck's game is directly linked to strength. There are very few beings in the world who have the strength to break through their own realm. The crisis here is a literal encounter on a narrow road, and there is no room for Qu Yun to plan.
Facing a powerful enemy of the same level that is more than double their own number, it basically means a dead end. Or, in other words, have they chosen a certain path of death?
The only thing to be thankful for was that they seemed to be the only ones who chose to stop and observe after seeing the relief. Otherwise, if they continued to move forward, they would probably be flanked by this group of demons or appear directly on their side to surprise them.
Qu Yun frowned and fell into deep thought. Although she said that there was a possibility of taking the wrong path, she actually had considerable confidence in her judgment. For a strategist who is accustomed to predicting the enemy's opportunities, having an 80% certainty is enough.
It’s to the point of “I don’t know if something will happen”.
Did she really meet the remaining 20%?
With a slight chance that she might be able to solve the puzzle through intelligence, Qu Yun did not choose to take action first, but the demons took the initiative to attack without any shame.
The five demons raised their hands in unison, and a burning fireball appeared above each one's head. It looked very similar to Qu Yun's [Missile] magic, but it was much larger.
The dark tunnel was suddenly illuminated red and bright by the firelight. The air was twisted and refracted under the hot temperature, magnifying and distorting the ferocious faces of the demons. The girls' shadows were dragged behind them for a long time until they were immersed in the firelight and could not
Burning endless darkness.
The scene of the confrontation only stopped for a moment. The demons did not need lengthy chants to cast magic like the little witches from Blood Candle Castle. In the blink of an eye, five fireballs had already blasted in front of them.
