Unlike what Gu Shi had imagined, the maze outside the door was actually bright. There were lights installed at regular intervals on the walls on both sides. Although the brightness was not as bright as daylight, it was enough for them to see the things around them clearly.
Zhang Bei led the team forward a few steps, then stopped, as if checking something.
Ji Wen asked: "Is the detector useful?"
Zhang Bei shook his head. "This place seems to be able to block the detector's ability. The situation outside the wall cannot be displayed. Only the places we walk through will be recorded."
Zhang Nan said, "That's good. We don't have to remember the route ourselves. At least we don't have to worry about going in circles."
Zhang Bei said, "Let's keep going."
The group continued to move forward, and soon they came to the first fork in the road.
Zhang Bei decided to go right. Although there was a detector that could generate a map, he still carefully marked the intersection.
After turning another corner, they encountered for the first time the challenge the two adventurers had mentioned.
A translucent wall of air appeared in front of them, with the words "What kind of magical beast is the two-headed python" written on it in fluorescent blue font.
"This air wall is so magical, what's the principle behind it?" Ji Wen walked to both sides and touched it carefully, and found that the air wall was connected to the walls on both sides with a perfect fit.
Zhang Nan casually replied, "What else could it be? Magic."
Gu Shi approached the air wall and tentatively touched it with his hand. It felt smooth, like glass. He knocked on it twice more, but apart from the two thuds, the air wall didn't change at all.
Zhang Bei walked forward and tried to write with his finger below the question, but it didn't leave any mark.
He pondered for two seconds and reached out his hand again. This time, the word "fire" appeared on the wall as he moved. Then the air wall disappeared, leaving a bright red magic crystal on the ground.
Zhang Nan picked up the magic crystal. "This challenge looks quite simple. Brother, how did you manage to write on the wall just now?"
Zhang Bei first scolded him and told him not to take it lightly, then explained: "Concentrate the magic power on your fingertips, and you can leave words on the wall."
Zhang Nan said, "I understand. I will be careful. Let me try next time."
Having passed the challenge, they continued to move forward.
The second air wall that blocked them was still a question-answering challenge, the question was "What level spell is Eye of the Storm?"
Zhang Nan turned to look at Gu Shi. He was the only wind mage here.
Gu Shi recalled that he had seen the name of this spell in a book, "Eighth Level."
The answer is correct.
Zhang Nan picked up the magic crystal and handed it to Gu Shi, "You solved the problem, so you should keep the reward."
Gu Shi did not refuse and accepted it silently.
The third air wall was not as gentle as the first two. It said "Fight against a first-level monster. Kill the monster or hold on for ten minutes to win."
A first-level monster was nothing to their team, and Zhang Bei easily solved it with one sword.
The challenges at the beginning were very simple and they could pass them easily, but as they went deeper, the difficulty of the challenges gradually increased.
Soon they were in a situation where they had to take a detour.
The air wall gave them a potion that they had never heard of before and asked them to write down the effects of this potion.
The group of six were all completely in the dark and had no choice but to turn back and walk the other way.
…
Time just kept passing by. In the maze without sunlight, they could not sense the passage of time. Fortunately, Zhang Bei and his men brought in a clock, so they could determine the time by this clock.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Bei asked everyone to stop and set up camp on the spot.
Wu Zhenxing handed Gu Shi a rolled-up tent and said, "This is a spare tent. Do you know how to set it up? Do you want me to help you?"
Gu Shi really didn't know how to set up a tent. On the way to Congleton, the tents he slept in were all set up by others.
"Thank you, Brother Wu." Gu Shi didn't try to be stubborn and simply agreed.
With the help of Wu Zhenxing, Gu Shi's tent was set up quickly.
Wu Zhenxing asked again: "Do you want a sleeping bag?"
"want."
After they finished their work, Gu Shi noticed that everyone was surrounding Zhang Bei. He walked over curiously and found that they were looking at a map.
Gu Shi asked: "Is this the road we walked today?"
Zhang Nan turned his head and said, "Yes, this maze is really huge. We have been walking for so long today, but it feels like we haven't gone very deep."
Gu Shi sighed, "Maybe it's because we've taken several detours. The questions are getting harder and harder."
They had successfully passed all the battle challenges they encountered today, and the puzzles were also quite good, as they tested logic and thinking, so they could easily pass them. However, the only problem was answering the questions, which was simply too much for them, who had only been in the alien world for less than a year.
Zhang Nan felt a little regretful. "If I had known, I wouldn't have let those two go. These local residents are definitely better at answering questions than us."
At this time, Wu Zhenxing's voice sounded, "It's time to eat."
Zhang Nan cheered and took the lunch box. "Luckily, we just had a resupply trip, so we don't have to worry about supplies."
Today's dinner is shrimp fried rice, which tastes just as good.
Gu Shi asked, "Do you all prepare and pack your meals like this so you can take them with you?"
"Yeah, it's more convenient this way. It's not suitable to light a fire in the Monster Forest. Not only is it easy to cause a fire, but the aroma of food will also attract monsters." Zhang Nan said as he ate from his lunch box. "Every time we go back to resupply, we spend most of our time helping Brother Zhenxing cook. He's in charge of the kitchen, and we all help him."
After dinner, everyone was very tired after today's accidents. Zhang Bei and Ji Wen agreed to keep watch all night, and the rest of the people went into the tent.
Gu Shi was already a little sleepy, and with his injury, he was running low on energy. He changed his clothes and tidied himself up a bit, then crawled into his sleeping bag and fell asleep.
For the next three days, the six people continued to explore the maze.
The challenges became increasingly difficult, making it increasingly difficult for them to cope. They could barely answer the questions, and the battles became increasingly difficult. Only by pooling their wisdom could they solve the puzzle.
"Oh, no, I can't take it anymore. When can I get out of this maze?" After hitting the wall five times in a row, Zhang Nan finally couldn't help but scream to the sky.
Qin Yao chuckled, "I think this is just right. It can temper your temper."
Zhang Nan said aggrievedly, "Sister Yao, don't you feel uncomfortable? You keep taking detours like this."
Qin Yao said: "When you experience more in the future, you will naturally develop patience."
