The maze is actually not that dangerous, although you might fall into a pit and be stabbed to death, or be poisoned to death by accident.
But in front of Chen Zhong, it was useless.
As long as you are indoors, most of the monsters here are locked in secret rooms. Occasionally, some monsters will run out, but it is difficult for them to form groups.
In the wild, there may be relatively more people, but few people would wander around outside openly. Most of them are there to take certain herbs.
"Have you noticed that since the maze was closed last time, there seem to be fewer monsters. I usually wander around the third and fourth floors, but now I dare to go down to the sixth floor!"
"Yes! Now that you mention it, I feel it too. It seems the rumors about the demon king plundering the demon tide are true!"
"We must not miss this opportunity. With fewer monsters, our chances will be greater!"
"I heard that the ruins this time are the treasure trove left by the ancient Nine Swords Pavilion to its disciples?"
"It seems so. Originally, Hongwu Sect discovered it and wanted to keep it for themselves, but they didn't expect the ruins to cause such a big stir that they were soon discovered by the people of Qingfeng Hall. They couldn't hide it anymore, so they made it public."
Chen Zhong sat in a corner, eavesdropping on the discussion nearby.
This is a vast square. The stone slabs that originally stood above the maze have become an extremely tall blue sky and white sun, and a huge bead emits light comparable to that of the sun.
Thousands of people gathered in the square, and at the innermost part, a magnificent palace gate stood.
This is obviously the entrance to the ruins.
There was still half a day before the predicted opening time, but it was already crowded with people, mostly in groups of three or five, and some traveling alone.
Chen Zhong saw the people from Xuan Yue Tang and Zuo Weiyun and others from Shen Lei Academy on the other side. Apart from looking a little embarrassed, they had no casualties.
"Kid? Want to team up with us?"
Several hunters dressed in rough clothes specifically looked for those people who traveled alone and asked them one by one.
But after Chen Zhong's observation, he found that the purpose of this group of people was not to form a team, but to rob!
Those who were questioned by them were very polite and left directly after being rejected.
Those who were weaker were surrounded and pushed to the corner at the back. You could guess what happened with your toes.
Looking for the weak ones who are alone!
Chen Zhong turned around calmly, not wanting to have any contact with these people.
Perhaps it was Murphy's Law, a smaller man in the group suddenly pointed at Chen Zhong and shouted sharply, "Don't run, kid! Are you going to form a team?"
Chen Zhong rubbed his brows and said, "Little brother, the road is getting narrower!"
Quietly taking out a few talismans, Chen Zhong smiled and said, "Let's form a group! Why not?"
A few people moved closer, and they didn't expect Chen Zhong to be so sensible.
"Haha, not bad, kid. Come on, come over here and discuss our plans with us!"
As they said this, they wanted to pull Chen Zhong into a corner.
The people around were also indifferent and just watched the show.
"Hello!"
Someone from the back shouted.
Chen Zhong smiled, it seemed he was fine.
Yuan Wusha pushed through the crowd and walked towards Chen Zhong with a bold move. He glanced around and said, "Brothers of mine, Yuan Wusha, don't you want your heads anymore?"
Several people were frightened and trembling. King Wusha's reputation was not only in Tianyan Academy, but also in this Zhongyue Maze, Yuan Wusha was a famous god of violence.
Who wouldn’t be scared if someone chopped off your head for a disagreement?
"Brother, we are sorry for offending you just now. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us!" Several people changed their expressions on the spot and smiled apologetically.
Chen Zhong silently patted the faces of several people, then replied, "It's okay, it's okay."
Just as they were about to slip away, they were stopped by someone.
"You want to run away after just a few simple apologies? My junior brother Chen Zhong is kind-hearted, but I'm not that good-tempered!"
The person who spoke was not Yuan Wusha, but an extremely handsome blond young man.
"Who are you? King Wusha doesn't care about it, how dare you go against him?" Several people were furious. It would have been fine if it was Yuan Wusha, but some random little bastard wanted to act so arrogantly.
Li Wei smiled and said nothing, walking slowly towards them.
As he walked, the fifty bodyguards stood behind him in an orderly manner.
The iron-blooded and powerful aura burst out, shocking the entire audience.
Looking at this scene, not to mention local forces like Xuanyuetang, even the two first-rate forces of Qingfengdian and Hongwumen couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
"Judging from the looks of these people, they should be from the White Pagoda Federation or the Divine Empire. What's the background of that kid?" A middle-aged man at the peak of the Minor Success Realm from the Hongwu Sect said in a deep voice.
"Tianyan Academy...blonde hair, blue eyes, and a strong background." The highest leader of Qingfeng Hall was a woman, also at the ninth level of the Minor Success Realm. "I heard that the son of a great duke of the White Tower Federation is studying abroad at Tianyan."
"One of the eight dukes? He should be the Grand Duke of Xuelong, who is friendly with our empire." The middle-aged man became even more wary and ordered his men, "Don't offend this boy, lest he jeopardize national affairs."
The woman from Qingfeng Hall also said, "Don't mess with those students from Tianyan Academy, especially the one with a constant smile on his face. To be able to gain the attention of Yuan Wusha and the Duke's son, his background or strength must be even more terrifying!
"If there is a conflict, communicate verbally first, rather than resorting to violence!"
"Yes..." everyone from Qingfeng Palace answered.
The middle-aged man from Hongwu Sect smiled and said, "You're exaggerating. The Duke's son's money should be taken seriously. But that kid doesn't look that outstanding. You're really worrying too much. As for Yuan Wusha, two fists are no match for four hands. How can he make waves in my hands?"
The woman curled her lips, "Pride is a slow-acting poison. You, the Hongwu Sect, have been rebellious for too long. Be careful not to offend the big boss and be doomed to destruction."
The middle-aged man sneered even more, "Our sect master is at the level of a Grandmaster, and is also a well-known figure in the lower realms. How could he be destroyed!"
