Chapter 348: Shushu Becomes Small and Walks Through the Maze
After walking in the maze of passages for more than ten minutes, Shu Li became dizzy.
He encountered more than a dozen forks in the road. He walked around aimlessly without any idea and hit a dead end wall. He had no choice but to return the same way he came. Halfway through, he was confused by the forked roads again.
That would be fine, but there are actually monsters lurking at the end of the dead end.
The first time they encountered a monster, both he and the monster were furious.
After staring at each other, the monster attacked him fiercely.
Shu Li quickly cast the Wood Entanglement spell to tie up the monster, and then continuously cast Light, Fire, and Wood attack magic.
After a heavy bombardment, the monster was reduced to charcoal, deader than dead.
Shu Li wiped a cold sweat from her face, no longer willing to let her guard down. At the same time, she was incredibly worried about her friends, especially Hector, Siti, and Nasha.
I hope they can adapt to the situation and do what they can. If they are not strong enough to pass the level, it is better for them to return to the teleportation array to recuperate.
Several hours later, Shu Li found a safe passage, replenished his anti-gravity defense shield, and then sat down on the ground, panting.
So tired!
He kept casting magic spells, kept spinning in the same passage, and fought monsters, all his physical and magical strength was exhausted.
He raised his right hand and summoned Falm from the Seal of the God of Fire.
A red light shot out from the back of his hand, fell to the ground, and turned into a small red monster the size of a palm.
Farm yawned loudly, stretched his wings behind him, and looked sleepy.
"Why did you call me out?"
Its power is limited, its strength is greatly reduced, it cannot fight, and can only sleep in the Seal of the God of Fire.
"I'm tired and want to rest. You help me keep watch. If monsters attack, wake me up immediately." Shu Li took out two fruits from the storage ring, gave one to Farm, and ate the other for himself.
Since entering the Snow Country, the fruit he had stored in his storage ring had been running low. Before entering the ninth level of the maze, he had distributed it equally to the others. Now, he only had ten fruits on hand. After eating two, he still had eight left. He had to eat sparingly.
Farm hugged the apple-sized fruit and ate it with relish, saying vaguely, "Okay, go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on you."
Although its power is limited, it is more than enough to deal with monsters below level five.
Shu Li felt relieved and took a bite of the fruit with care.
Now it is different from the past. When you eat one less fruit, there will be no more fruit left.
I don’t know how long it will take to pass the level.
There are no other living creatures in the ninth level maze except monsters. The absence of other living creatures means there is no food source.
If the food in the storage ring is eaten up, he can only go back to the eighth level maze to hunt and gather.
After eating the fruit, Shu Li collected the core.
Fruit cores are good things. You can bring them back to the Fairy Forest and plant them.
Rubbing his swollen temples, he held his magic wand, leaned against the wall of the maze, and said to Farm, "I'm going to sleep, don't be lazy!"
Farm squatted at his feet, waving his short, fat paws. "Alright, alright, I won't be lazy."
Shu Li stretched out her finger to touch its little head, then closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Farm rolled his eyes, jumped left and right, and asked, "Why don't you become smaller?"
If anything unexpected happens, it can pick up the little goblin and run away.
Upon hearing this, Shu Li opened his eyes, looked down at the little monster at his feet, thought for two seconds, and said seriously, "Your suggestion is good!"
I have been living in human form for the past two years and have almost forgotten the habits of a goblin.
Compared to walking on two legs, it is more convenient to fly with wings if you become smaller!
Moreover, its small size makes it a smaller target and allows it to evade monsters.
It’s not that he is afraid of monsters, but given the current situation, he has to save as much as possible. Fighting monsters will only slow down his search for the exit of the maze.
Shu Li didn't think twice, put away his original power, and instantly turned into a tiny thing.
He had been wearing goblin robes, but now they had shrunk, and his clothes shrank with them.
He stretched himself, flapped his fluorescent wings, and relaxedly lay on Farm's back.
Farm was startled and asked stiffly, "Why are you lying on me?"
Shu Li laughed and said, "It's convenient for you to take me away!"
Farm's back is very comfortable to lie on and is suitable for a good night's sleep.
"Okay... okay!" The little monster got on all fours and lay steadily on the ground, allowing the little goblin to lie on its back as a bed.
Shu Li closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He must recover his energy and physical strength as quickly as possible and stay in top condition at all times.
After the little goblin on his back fell asleep, Farm pricked up his ears, remained alert, and diligently performed his guard duty.
Shu Li had a good sleep.
I had just woken up and was a little confused about where I was. I looked around blankly with my eyes open, and it took me a while to wake up.
Rubbing his face, he got off the little monster's back. "Thank you, Farm."
Finally able to move, Farm shook his head, fluttered his wings, and flicked his tail. "Did you rest well?"
"Well, I've almost recovered." Shu Li stretched his limbs and said refreshedly, "You go back to the Seal of the God of Fire. I'll continue exploring the maze."
Farm wasn't polite either. He turned into a red light and penetrated into the back of his right hand.
Shu Li held the shrunken magic wand in his hand, flapped his wings, flew into the air, and began to work.
The maze was dim, with almost no light source except for the faint glow from the stones set in the walls.
Shu Li released a ball of light and hung it above his head, using it as a "mining lamp" to illuminate himself at any time.
After flying for a few minutes, he was surprised to find that the gravity had decreased. He did not feel uncomfortable even without casting anti-gravity magic.
I never thought that becoming smaller would have such benefits.
It seems that Chris was right. The gravity of the ninth level maze varies from person to person.
Because of his small size, he is not restricted by the maze rules, so we let him go?
Shu Li was delighted. He removed the anti-gravity magic and flew freely in the passage.
When people relax, their brain becomes active.
Shu Li felt that he could no longer run around blindly and had to find an exit in a planned way.
I don't have a map at hand, so I can only try my best to explore.
Coming to a fork in the road, he stopped flying, hovered in mid-air, and carefully observed the two passages.
It is not entirely true that all these channels look the same. If you look closely at the details, you can still find some slight differences.
For example, there are subtle differences in the texture of the wall.
The texture on the wall of the left passage is fine, while that on the right is sparse.
Although we don’t know what these lines represent, the existence of differences indicates that there is something going on.
Shu Li touched his delicate little chin, chose the right side with sparse lines, flew for a while, and encountered a fork in the road again.
Sure enough, the patterns on the walls of the two passages were of different densities.
This time, the lines on the left channel were sparse, and Shu Li flew into the left channel without hesitation.
Next, whenever he came to a fork in the road, he would choose the side with less lines, turning left or right. Surprisingly, the road was smooth and he never encountered a dead end again.
This greatly boosted Shu Li's confidence.
Following this pace, he overcame three obstacles and defeated six generals, flying smoothly for half a month.
As for how to count time in a dim maze?
It all depends on the feeling of being hungry.
Whenever I feel hungry, I make a mark in my little notebook to know how much time has passed.
Looking at the densely packed “正” characters on the small notebook, I am deeply impressed by the charm of Chinese characters.
“Gurgle—”
Shu Li touched her flat belly in distress. It was time for dinner again.
However, the food in the storage ring is almost gone, and the exit is unknown, so we have to live frugally.
Originally, the food was enough to sustain for a month, but unfortunately there was also a big eater named Farm.
Although Farm controlled his food intake and ate only once every three days, they were still stretched thin.
Shu Li regretted not storing more monster meat on the eighth floor in case of emergency.
No matter what, we have come to this point and can only move forward.
Shu Li took a nap on Farm's back. When he woke up, he took out a piece of wheat cake and chewed it slowly with the small water droplets condensed by water magic.
The benefits of being smaller are once again evident.
He has a small appetite and consumes food slowly, so one wheat cake can be eaten by two meals!
Shu Li finished half of the wheat cake and put it back into the storage ring with reluctance.
As a little goblin, she lives a life of luxury. She has never been hungry during the past two years of training in the human world.
Now trapped in the ninth level of the maze, I actually felt a deep sense of hunger.
Shu Li touched his half-full stomach and promised Farmu, "After we leave the maze and find the water spirit, we will go back to the Fairy Forest. Then you can eat as many fruits as you want."
Farm sucked his saliva and bargained: "The fruits grown by fairies are too small. The fruits grown by elves are bigger and more enjoyable to chew."
"Alright!" Shu Li said proudly, "Then let's eat the fruit grown by the elves."
As for whether the elves are willing to give it, that is another matter.
Hehehe~
Farmu turned into a red light and happily entered the Fire God Seal on the back of his right hand.
Shu Li cheered up, flapped his wings, cast a light magic to accelerate himself, and flew in the passage at lightning speed.
Since there is not enough food, let's try to find a way out as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, he had been groping in the ninth-level maze for so long, but he didn't even see the shadow of the Water Spirit Pearl.
If I can’t find the Water Spirit Pearl, how can I open the door to the maze on the tenth floor?
Shu Li sighed in annoyance.
Also, I wonder how other people are doing, and if it's going well?
I was thinking while flying, and after passing four or five forks in the road, I suddenly felt the air flow change.
Huh?
Shu Li put away his unnecessary thoughts, felt the direction of the air flow, and quickly determined that there was wind in the passage.
The presence of wind means that there is a large space ahead and the air flow is frequently exchanged.
Could it be... we are almost at the exit?
Shu Li cheered up and cast the light speed magic on himself again, rushing forward like lightning.
A few minutes later, he rushed out of the passage and entered a spacious hall.
"ah!"
Shu Li was suspended in mid-air, gazing at the palace in surprise.
The hall was brightly lit, with ten huge pillars standing around it, inlaid with crystals for lighting.
Shu Li was not unfamiliar with these crystal stones. He had seen them in the Temple of the God of Fire. They were the sea moon stones from the bottom of the sea.
It seems that the Water God is not only generous, but also has a good relationship with the mermaids.
Shu Li looked around the hall curiously, flew to the center, and saw an altar.
There are nine short pillars on the altar, and on top of the pillars squat statues of water beasts of different shapes, all with their mouths wide open, as if they are about to swallow food.
What surprised Shu Li was that the water beast on the short pillar in the middle actually had a crystal clear bead in its mouth.
His eyes lit up and he pounced on it, clinging to the beads excitedly.
It’s the Water Spirit Pearl!
It is true that after searching for a needle in a haystack, it was finally found without any effort.
The water spirit bead in the ninth level maze is actually right here.
Shu Li touched the bead but did not take it off. Instead, he observed the water beast statues on other pillars.
It seems that if the water spirit beads obtained before are embedded in the mouths of these water beasts, they can summon the door to the tenth level maze.
However, he is the only little goblin here now, so it is not easy to summon him immediately.
Shu Li flew to the head of the water beast, looked around, and felt a little anxious.
It’s understandable that none of the friends came out, but what about the Elf King?
Shu Li really couldn't believe it. With the Elf King's ability, he couldn't get out of the maze.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a noise at the edge of the hall. He looked over alertly. When he saw a familiar figure, his eyes became hot. He spread his wings and rushed towards the person.
"King~~~"
