Chapter 347 Passing the Eighth Level Maze
Chris and Eumis are like a living map.
Led by them, Team Light easily passed through the sixth and seventh levels of the maze.
As Chris said, as the adventurers go deeper into the maze, there are strict requirements on their strength.
From the moment he entered the seventh level of the maze, Shu Li felt the terrible gravity.
Yes, gravity.
In the seventh-level maze, in addition to facing harsh environments, one also has to endure extraordinary gravity.
Shu Li was extremely grateful that they met Chris on the fifth floor.
The powerful magic stone played an important role.
After entering the sixth level of the maze, they found a safe place to camp, and then under the guidance of the Elf King, everyone successfully absorbed the energy of the powerful magic stone.
Hector, Siti and Nasha were successfully promoted to senior magicians.
Sadler and Harris were promoted to low-level archmages.
Angel, Disio, Budno, and Amanda all broke through to the intermediate level of archmages.
Kumandi went from a mid-level archmage to a senior archmage.
Leon, Dur, and Hall were promoted from high-level greatswordsmen to low-level greatswordsmen.
The remaining Shuli, Morrisi, Eumis, and Seleu remained unchanged and maintained their original levels.
Shu Li specifically asked the Elf King why he didn't give Hector and the others more powerful magic stones and directly upgrade their levels to archmages?
The Elf King told him that haste makes waste.
Each person has a limited ability to absorb the energy of the powerful magic stone, and once it reaches a critical point, it can no longer absorb any more.
The higher the level, the worse the effect.
Therefore, it was already the limit for Hector and the other three to be promoted from low-level magicians to high-level magicians.
After listening to the Elf King's popular science, Shu Li suddenly understood.
He played with the powerful magic stone in his hand like a marble, and carefully put it into the storage ring.
Powerful magic stones are hard to come by, so you have to keep them well as a souvenir.
After everyone's levels were stabilized, Chris and Eumis led them to find the entrance to the seventh-level maze with familiarity.
As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array on the seventh floor, the gravity suddenly doubled. Even Shu Li was caught off guard and staggered on the spot under the pressure of gravity. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and instantly cast a wind-type anti-gravity shield, avoiding the tragic scene of falling face to the ground.
The wind magicians in the team took turns casting magic, stopping and starting, and after more than two months, they finally reached the entrance to the eighth floor.
This is still the case with "manual navigation", where you can only travel smoothly by taking shortcuts.
If they were to rely on themselves, even with a map, it would probably take them a year and a half.
The gravity on the eighth floor is twice that of the seventh floor. Team Light cautiously stepped out of the teleportation array and quickly released anti-gravity magic.
However, due to the influence of gravity, magic lasts for a very short time and will dissipate in half an hour. It must be replenished seamlessly, otherwise the double gravity will make people breathless and their internal organs will be displaced.
In such a harsh environment, they still have to fight monsters.
Yes, monsters.
The sky of the eighth level maze is dark, the land is barren, and it is filled with evil and ferocious monsters.
The goblins' advantage in the maze disappeared.
There are no monsters to communicate with, only terrifying monsters that keep rushing towards you.
They had to fight against gravity and eliminate the monsters that blocked their way. It was so hard.
"Everyone should be prepared for a long battle." Yumis said seriously.
"How long is long term?" Angel gasped.
"Chris and I have been trapped here for twenty years." said Eumis.
"Huh? Twenty years?" Hector was stunned. "Twenty years in the eighth level of the maze is equivalent to how many years in the outside world?"
"That's hard to convert," Chris said. "The time spent on each level of the maze is different. We can only add up the days we spend here."
Shu Li looked up at the dim sky and sighed, "I hope we can return to the Magic Academy before the holiday is over."
When planning to explore the Snow Mountain Maze, he optimistically believed that two months would be enough time to find the Water Spirit.
After climbing the snowy mountain and entering the maze, he no longer had any hope.
I definitely can't go back for two months.
Hopefully, Elio won't ruthlessly deduct credits for their absence.
Leaving the teleportation array, Shu Li instantly cast anti-gravity magic. Seeing the monsters rushing in from all directions, he raised his magic wand and solemnly ordered: "Fight!"
The three masters of the magic sword, Seleu, Leon, and Eumis, rushed forward with great momentum, paving the way for everyone.
The two swordsmen, Dur and Horey, turned into shields and stood on both wings to resist the monsters' attacks.
Magicians walked among them, chanting spells and casting high-level magic.
The Elf King did not show his full strength, but instead focused his strength on the intermediate wizard, and took turns with Shu Li to release anti-gravity magic circles.
Farm, in his little monster form, squatted on Shu Li's shoulder in frustration.
Its power has been weakened.
The God of Water and the God of Fire are notorious enemies.
The closer to the bottom, the stronger the will of the water god. Farm, the mount of the fire god, found that the fire element was extremely thin, close to zero, while the water element was overflowing and was about to drown it.
With their strength weakened and the Farm bus and plane out of service, Team Light could only rely on their own legs to reach the entrance to the ninth-level maze.
The eighth-level maze is vast, and even with Chris's "manual navigation", it is difficult to navigate.
Walking is a test of perseverance.
They have to release magic all the time to offset gravity, and fight non-stop at the same time. They have to seize every second to rest.
The eighth level maze is very unfriendly to fire magicians.
Fire magicians like Disio, Nasha, Siti, and Sadler are suffering terribly.
After consuming the magic power stored in the body, he basically becomes a useless person.
Unable to summon the fire element in the air, I can only hold on.
After resting, meditate without delay and absorb as much scattered fire elements as possible.
Although the effect is not good, it is better than nothing.
After stopping and starting many times, the group traveled through mountains and rivers for half a year before reaching the entrance to the ninth level of the maze.
Seeing the teleportation pavilion at the entrance to the ninth floor, tears welled up in the eyes of everyone whose magic power had been drained away.
As a gifted little elf, Shu Li felt the hardship of training for the first time.
In Team Light, except for the Elf King who was handling it with ease, everyone else was probably exhausted.
Hector, Siti and Nasha were pale, weak and shaky.
With their strength as senior magicians, it is not easy for them to hold on until now.
Although the process was painful, I gained a lot.
The combat experience has been improved, the mastery of magic has become more handy, the willpower has been tempered, and the disadvantages of rapid upgrades have been compensated.
"Are you sure you want to go to the ninth floor?" Chris asked.
"Of course." Shu Li took out a wind magic stone and absorbed the elemental power from it while saying, "Have you ever been to the ninth floor before?"
Chris nodded and Eumis shook her head.
Shu Li blinked. "What do you mean?"
The two people's answers were surprisingly different. Did they actually make it to the ninth floor?
Yumis pointed at the fairy beside her and said, "He has been in there, but I haven't."
"Why?" Morrissey folded his arms and looked at him with interest. "Aren't you inseparable?"
Yumis blushed and denied, "There are times when we don't act together."
Chris glanced at the dark elf with an unfriendly look.
Although we know that this dark elf named Morrissey is different from others, his personality is not likable and sometimes his words are very annoying.
"The pressure on the ninth floor varies from person to person, and it's a veritable maze of passages. If you fail, you'll be sent back to the starting point," Chris said. "The starting point is stress-free, so you can adjust your state."
The level was very difficult to pass. He failed thousands of times and could not even complete one-third of the maze. Finally, he had to give up.
He didn't want Kamis to wait alone on the eighth floor.
Moreover, he himself is not a fairy who can stand loneliness, and it is too boring to go through the levels alone.
After fifty years of training in the maze, they grew tired of it and decided to leave. But eight or nine months later, they found themselves standing at the entrance to the ninth level of the maze, ready to face a challenge.
After careful consideration, Shu Li asked everyone to divide the food equally.
"I must go to the tenth level maze," he said firmly. "You can do it according to your ability. Don't force yourself. If I don't come out in two months, you can leave the Snow Mountain Maze and return to the courtyard."
"How can that be?" The impetuous Desio was the first to object. "We are a team. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must work together, fight together, and advance and retreat together."
"That's right!" Angel said seriously, "Sperian, we will never leave you behind."
Shu Li felt warm in her heart and smiled, "I'm very grateful that you've accompanied me here. The rest of the way will be my own."
We have reached the eighth floor, but there is still no news of the water spirit.
Either on the ninth floor or on the tenth floor.
No matter which level he was on, he had to find him, gain his approval, and learn instant water magic.
"I will stay with you until the end."
Suddenly, a gentle and clear voice sounded in my ears.
Shu Li subconsciously turned his head to look at the Elf King with the face of "Ace". As their eyes met, his ears couldn't help but feel hot.
“…Okay.” He agreed immediately.
The Elf King was invincible, and with him by his side, he had nothing to fear.
Others no longer insisted.
With the powerful Elf King accompanying Sperien on his journey, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
However, no matter how thorough the discussions were, everyone on Team Light was stunned after entering the ninth level of the maze.
They didn't see any other teammates in the teleportation array at all.
In other words, the ninth floor is a single-player copy.
The maze set up by the Water God is so ingenious that it even has independent spaces so that every adventurer can enjoy the "joy" of walking through the maze.
After Shu Li stepped out of the pavilion, he immediately felt four times the gravity. He didn't even have time to chant a spell before he was forced to kneel on one knee by gravity.
"Hmm..." He forced himself to stand up, holding up the magic wand with difficulty and chanting wind magic to resist the burden of gravity on his body.
His body felt lighter, he heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked at the stone door of the maze not far away.
This is the real maze.
Shu Li was eager to try and walked towards the stone gate with great interest.
He wanted to see if he could find the entrance to the tenth level maze.
After straightening his magic robe, Shu Li held his head high and chest puffed out, then stepped into the stone gate with a heroic and confident look.
