Chapter 327 The Third Level of the Maze
The third level of the maze is indeed dangerous.
As soon as Shu Li and others stepped out of the teleportation array, they were attacked by monsters.
There were a large number of magical beasts, ranging from level one to level six, all surrounding the pavilion, staring eagerly at the adventurers coming out of the teleportation array.
Shu Li didn't hesitate, gripped the magic wand tightly, and cast an instant fire spell.
A gigantic oriental fire dragon rushed out with great momentum. All the magical beasts that stood in its way suffered varying degrees of damage. The magical beasts below the second level were directly knocked to the ground.
The clever monsters retreated continuously, and a huge gap appeared in the encirclement.
"Let's go!" Shu Li rushed to the gap first, and the others followed.
There are too many monsters, and it is time-consuming and laborious to kill them. It is better to break out of the encirclement and escape to a safe place.
"These monsters must have gathered here to chase that birdman." Morrissey complained.
The birdman team left the third level maze, followed by a large group of monsters. They fled into the teleportation array and ran away, leaving many monsters circling outside the pavilion.
As a result, Team Light entered the third level maze without knowing it and became the new target of Warcraft.
"Why didn't they remind us?" Hector shouted as he sprinted.
They say the Winged People are easygoing, but he feels that reputation is misplaced. From their brief interaction just now, he knew that while the Winged People might appear warm-hearted, they were actually quite simple-minded.
If he had been more careful, he would have told them that there was a large number of monsters lurking at the exit of the third-level maze.
In this case, they will wait for an hour or two before entering the teleportation array.
If the monsters cannot find prey for a long time, they will definitely disperse and return to their own territories.
"It's normal not to remind you." Sadler said calmly.
After all, they met by chance and had a conflict. The other party has no responsibility or obligation to remind him.
"Run quickly, there is a level six monster behind us." Kumandi urged.
Shu Li looked back and instantly cast a wood entanglement spell. Countless green vines sprang out from the ground, tied up the legs of the monsters and prevented them from moving forward.
"Well done!" Siti gave Shu Li a thumbs up.
"Wow~ I also want to learn instant magic!" Budno said enviously.
Although magicians have powerful attack power, they often fall into disadvantages when encountering emergencies because they fail to chant spells in time.
This is why every adventure team is equipped with a swordsman, who can transform into a meat shield and stand up when encountering danger, leaving time for the magician to chant the spell.
"If you work hard, you might be able to gain recognition from the elemental spirits." Hector encouraged him.
"No!" said Dizio regretfully, "Only Sperian can do it."
He once asked the Fire Elf if he could cast fire magic instantly like Sperian, but the Fire Elf refused with a smile.
Sperian is a unique little elf. Only he can form a pact with elemental spirits and gain powerful strength.
Shu Li instantly cast multiple light magic spells, and the light balls fell on his teammates, causing everyone to speed up instantly.
After running for more than twenty minutes, I finally got rid of the group of monsters.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
Everyone leaned against the tree trunks, catching their breath, and looked around.
The third level maze is a dense forest.
The ground is covered with giant trees that reach into the sky, which is comparable to the Fairy Forest. However, compared to the tranquility of the Fairy Forest, this forest is filled with a terrifying and murderous atmosphere.
The monsters here tend to be dark in nature, with hideous faces and brutal temperaments, and they regard adventurers as prey.
"Are you okay?" the Elf King whispered to the little elf who was holding the tree trunk.
"Oh, it's okay." Shu Li recovered and smiled confidently.
The advantage of a seven-element magician is that he has seven blue bars. When one is used up, another one is added to it, which makes it extremely durable.
The Elf King took out a clean handkerchief from his storage ring and handed it to Shu Li: "Wipe it."
Shu Li was stunned for a moment, took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. He turned his eyes slightly and found that there was no sweat on the Elf King's face and even his hair was not messed up.
He was indeed the Son of Light who was close to being a god. He ran very fast for more than 20 minutes without getting red in the face or out of breath, and his appearance remained the same as before.
"Where should we go next?" Amanda looked around. Her dragon instinct told her that there were high-level monsters nearby.
Nasha said worriedly, "I don't know where my brother is."
Judging from the map, the third-level maze is twice as large as the second-level maze, equivalent to the area of the Dalia Empire.
Finding someone in such a large place is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Morrissey said, "The monsters here are distributed in a regular pattern according to their levels."
There are five regions: east, south, west, north and center. The monsters in the east and south are basically level one to three, the monsters in the west and north are level four to six, and the center is the gathering place of level seven to nine monsters.
Prince Leon is currently a high-level swordsman. If he wants to improve his strength, he will definitely choose the west and the north to challenge monsters of levels four to six.
After Morrissey's analysis, the search area was immediately narrowed.
Shu Li took out the map and compared it with the density of the leaves, then determined the direction and where they were.
"Lucky!" He stretched out his finger and drew a line on the map, saying happily, "The teleportation array is in the west. As long as we follow this direction and go north, we will definitely find Prince Leon."
"That's great!" Nasha was excited.
"Let's set off without delay!" Shu Li said.
"I'll lead the charge." Seleu put on a warrior's light armor and held a long sword in his hand.
This place is different from the first and second floors. Monsters appear in endlessly and can jump out at any time, making it difficult to guard against. There are swordsmen standing in front to give magicians the opportunity to release magic.
"Okay." Shu Li nodded.
Soon, Team Light carefully made their way through the dense and dark forest.
As we move forward, there is an endless stream of magical beasts blocking the way.
Everyone was on high alert, ready to fight at any time.
The sounds of battle attracted monsters from afar, and it was endless. After only an hour of walking, I was exhausted.
Shu Li instantly released several lightning bolts and repelled a fourth-level monster. Seeing Hector, Siti and Nasha looking tired, he frowned slightly.
In Team Light, only three of them were true low-level magicians, and such high-intensity combat was far beyond their physical capacity.
You must find a safe place to rest and recover before moving forward.
The third-level maze is very large, and it will take at least one or two years to walk through the entire map.
After killing a wave of monsters, everyone did not rest immediately, but took the time to collect materials.
The whole body of Warcraft is a treasure. Its skin, scales, horns, bones, claws, etc. can be used to refine weapons and armor. Its blood, toxins, body fluids, milk, etc. are good things for making potions.
There were more than a dozen magical beasts lying on the ground. There was no time to dissect them all, so only the most essential parts could be taken.
Fourteen people moved quickly, each responsible for one head, collecting them quickly.
Shu Li turned his head to look at the Elf King, and saw him cut off the horn of the monster cleanly and neatly, put it into the storage ring and then called it a day.
Blinking, Shu Li looked away.
The Elf King, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, has seen many treasures. These low-level magical beasts may not be in his eyes.
After the collection is completed, Shu Li releases Farm.
Farm saw the decomposed monster corpses scattered all over the ground, looked disgusted and refused to eat.
Shu Li poked its round belly. "I didn't ask you to eat it."
Farm stared. "Why let me out if you don't let me eat?"
It is sleeping soundly in the Seal of the God of Fire!
"I need your help with something." Shu Li said with a smile.
Farm looked at his slightly cunning smile and asked cautiously, "What favor? Let me be clear, I won't help you with anything."
"A small favor." Shu Li took out two watermelon-sized fruits from his storage ring, holding one in each hand, and said to Farm, "Give us a ride and let's find a safe place to camp."
Farm stared at the fruit in his arms, his mouth watering.
This is jackfruit. There are not many of them, so the little goblin rarely takes them out to eat.
"Okay, okay!" Farm agreed unconditionally.
The next second, it turned into a giant monster about fifteen or sixteen meters long.
The pressure from the monsters that surpassed the tenth level shocked all directions. The monsters hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike, all retreated timidly.
"Wow! What a great idea!" Angel clapped his hands.
If you have a ready-made means of transportation, of course you should make good use of it!
Amanda touched her nose.
In fact, he can also transform into a dragon and carry everyone to fly.
However, there are many demonic birds in the sky, and it will be a tough battle if they encounter one. Farm is of a high level, and when the demonic birds see it, they don't even have time to escape, and dare not come forward to provoke it.
Farm ate the romanesco fruits one bite at a time, enjoying them very much.
Shu Li took the lead and jumped onto its back, and the others followed, with fourteen people standing in a row.
Farm spread his wings and quickly flew into the sky.
Shu Li looked at the endless forest and felt emotional.
No wonder this place is called a maze. People who have no sense of direction will not be able to get out after entering here for several years.
Shu Li asked Farm to slow down as much as possible and fly at a low altitude. Then, he and everyone else released their perception and kept an eye on the ground below to avoid missing Prince Leon.
"Don't worry." The Elf King gently pressed Shu Li's shoulder.
Receiving his hint, Shu Li nodded, believing that with the Elf King's wide range of perception, he would definitely not miss any clues.
Farm flew them for more than ten minutes and landed beside a small lake.
The lake is a great place to camp.
Farm releases his mighty power to intimidate the nearby monsters and provide Team Light with conditions to rest.
After an hour of rest, Team Light walked in the forest again. Farm turned back into a little fat ball and took a nap on Shu Li's shoulder.
A week later, Team Light, who had adapted to the third level of the maze, stepped into the territory of a sixth-level monster.
There were many fourth and fifth level monsters in the territory of this sixth level monster. When they discovered Shu Li and others, they rushed forward one after another to die.
Shu Li released magic with an expressionless face, killing wave after wave.
Anyone who kills dozens of monsters every day will become numb.
After a long battle and extreme consumption of magic power, everyone's strength was effectively improved.
"Bang--"
The three-meter-tall monster fell, and the battle was nearing its end.
Hector sat down on the ground, his limbs limp from exhaustion, unable to walk. "The third floor is already so terrifying, won't the fourth floor be even more perverted?"
Thanks to the presence of goblins, dragons, and sword masters in their team, they were able to hold out for so long. If it were any other adventure team, they would have suffered heavy losses long ago.
"Get up." Morrissey kicked his butt. "Don't be careless. Danger is everywhere."
Hector stood up with difficulty.
"Prince, what are you looking at?" Harris wiped the sweat from his face and turned his head to see Seleu staring at the trunk of a tree with an unfathomable expression. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Seleu ran his fingers along the trunk, scraping along a few cracks, and replied, "These are sword marks."
It's an old scar.
It has existed for at least half a month.
"Sword marks?" Morrissey took a closer look and raised an eyebrow. "Yes, they are indeed the marks left by the swordsmen after the battle."
Shu Li suddenly had an idea and asked in surprise, "Could it be that Prince Leon left it?"
Nasha's purple eyes were bright.
Sadler looked at the sword marks and thought, "If we follow the sword marks, we may be able to find the person who left them."
Everyone was excited and kept moving forward. As the sword marks became more and more, there were fewer and fewer monsters blocking the way.
Two days later, they entered a swamp and heard the earth-shaking roar of beasts.
Someone is fighting a high-level monster.
