Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 218
Chapter 218 Labyrinth Trap
The two parts of the two-person maze were completely different. Even if they were the same, it was meaningless to Xu You and Xue Wuhen, who were unable to communicate. Now, they had to rely on their own efforts.
The maze wasn’t dark. Although it wasn’t sunny, there were magic lights on both sides of the tunnel. Therefore, Xu You didn’t need to set up a large bonfire to light the torch, nor was he worried that Xue Wuhen wouldn’t be able to see the road.
After Xu You left for a while, There were no monsters in the labyrinth, Actually, they hadn’t discovered any monsters after entering the Farrah Temple. Monica wasn’t wrong and Xue Wuhen wasn’t wrong. However, Xu You was surprised that Monica and Lachwick didn’t mention the trials on the Farrah Temple’s floors. Whether they didn’t know or didn’t say it on purpose was a bit interesting.
However, even if he did not say it on purpose, it would still be reasonable. If the old dwarf and the female dwarf had told Xu You and Xue Wuhen all about this test, would this mission still be a mission? It’s a tour, isn’t it?
However, the tests on these floors were getting harder and harder. After arriving at the main hall of the Ferrah Temple, what kind of tests would there be? Could it be some kind of daddy-cheating couple test?
“Ah, let’s settle this maze first!” Xu You shook his head and shook all the imagination in his mind. There was no point in thinking so much about it now.
Xu You walked to a fork in the road. There were two choices ahead. Faced with such a choice, Xu You never wanted to. He only relied on his intuition, and his intuition was basically correct. However, he needed to find a place to exchange keys first, not an exit. He didn’t know if his intuition would take him to the exit first. If so, then he wouldn’t be able to laugh or cry.
Normally speaking, the paths of the maze were very similar, causing people to walk back and forth without knowing if they were going to turn their heads again. As for this two-person maze, it was the same. Xu You didn’t know if he had followed the same path, but he only needed to follow his intuition.
On the other side, Xue Wuhen couldn’t do this, Every time she passed a fork in the road, she would record it. The method of recording the snow beauty was also very strange. She threw some of the materials she had gathered at the fork in the road to record that she had passed through the fork in the road. The refresh time for the materials to fall on the ground was one hour. If no one picked them up for one hour, the system would scrub them away and disappear.
However, if Xue Wuhen walked to a fork in the road where there were records of materials, he would pick up the materials and throw them out. Using this method to prolong the time the materials were brushed off, because Xue Wuhen was already prepared to wander in the maze for more than an hour.
At this time, Xue Wuhen once again encountered a forked intersection. Looking to the left, it was a dead end. Because the passage on the left was only three meters long, and then there was a wall, Xue Wuhen did not mark the dead end and directly walked towards the passage on the right.
However, not long after Xue Wuhen walked, a small rectangular hole suddenly appeared on the wall of the dead end on the left. It was not big enough for an adult’s palm to fit in, but it was still enough to put some small items, such as keys.
On the other side of the wall was another part of the two-man maze. Of course, that was also a dead end. Xu You’s figure had just left because he discovered that there was nothing in this dead end. That small rectangular hole only appeared after he left …
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, forty minutes had passed. Xu You and Xue Wuhen were facing different situations. Xue Wuhen was still trying to find a place to exchange keys, while Xu You was standing in front of a door and cursing.
“My Sun! The key hasn’t been changed yet, why should I come to the exit?” Xu You really came to the exit. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he kicked the stone door. Of course, it hurt.
Xu You’s intuition was indeed very powerful. After turning left and right for half an hour, he walked to the stone door. Without a doubt, this was the exit.
However, he and Xue Wuhen still hadn’t exchanged keys. This stone door couldn’t be opened. Helplessly, Xu You held onto the idea that the system had made a mistake and tried to open the stone door with the key in his hand. The result was that he had a fantasy. How could the system make a mistake?
Thus, he took it out on the stone door. After kicking it, other than the pain in his foot, he didn’t feel anything else. Helplessly, Xu You could only continue searching.
However, Xu You walked around the maze and actually returned to the stone door at the exit. This time, he sat down decisively and rested. It seemed that his intuition would only help him find an exit. How could this be possible?
“Why is this labyrinth so bizarre? You have to exchange keys to open the stone door? Isn’t this nothing to cause trouble?” Xu You was very dissatisfied with the designers. Originally, he had no problem visiting the maze, but with multiple conditions for changing keys, no problem would become a problem.
Right now, Xu You had no other choice but to sit in front of the stone door and quietly ponder. He recalled the information inside the light screen when he first entered the maze. The information said that the two mazes were independent maze systems and did not communicate with each other, but there was a place where keys could be exchanged.
If the method of exchanging keys was not through magic, but face-to-face. It was like going to a bank to get money. There was a small opening for the person who took the money and the bank clerk to pass on something to each other, then the two labyrinths would definitely stick together, but there was no passage connecting them.
If that was the case, then the place where the keys were exchanged should be at the edge of the labyrinth, north, south, east, and west. In any case, it was on the dead end at the end of these directions.
“Dead end?” Xu You finally figured out what he was thinking. He had passed through many dead ends just now. Could it be that they were in those places?
However, whether it was true or not, Xu You had to look for it. This time, he no longer followed his intuition. Instead, he deliberately headed in one direction, aiming to reach the edge of the labyrinth he was in.
Facts proved that Xu You’s thoughts were correct. Although he couldn’t tell the direction in the maze, his choice of direction was incomparably correct. Very quickly, Xu You arrived at a dead end that he had come to, and he saw the small rectangular hole in the wall of the dead end at a glance.
Seeing that, Xu You hurriedly walked to the front of the wall and looked into the small hole. Indeed, there was another path opposite the wall. If he guessed correctly, it should be the maze where Xue Wuhen was.
So Xu You shouted, “Traceless! Traceless, do you hear me? Come here, this is the place to exchange keys!”
However, Xu You shouted a few times without any response. Obviously, Xue Wuhen was not nearby. This time, Xu You really had no choice but to wait! Wait for Xue Wuhen to arrive nearby! If Xue Wuhen couldn’t find this place, they would be trapped in this maze.
“Wuhen, you have to work hard!”
…
Xue Wuhen was anxious, because after searching for an hour, she was still running around the maze like a headless fly, unable to find any strange place.
“You You should have found a place to exchange keys, right? But I …” Xue Wuhen was somewhat dispirited. Traveling through the maze was really not her forte. She would rather fight a Level 40 Lord Monster than wander around here.
Xue Wuhen left behind a Level 20 herb. Then he walked to the right of the fork of the road, There were no signs of materials at the fork in the road that she had come to. She didn’t know if she had never been here or if the original signs of materials had been brushed off by the system. This was also the reason why Xue Wuhen was anxious. If she continued walking like this, she didn’t know when she would be able to exit the maze.
But just like that, Xue Wuhen suddenly realized that the path she had taken had not forked for a long time. She just kept turning left and right, but there was only this path. Xue Wuhen’s heart lit up. Could it be that she was about to arrive?
Xue Wuhen immediately quickened her pace. After walking for more than two minutes, she finally reached the end of the road! Seeing the stone door in front of him, Xue Wuhen was delighted. Then, it darkened. This was the exit, wasn’t it? But the problem was that there was no key!
“What should we do?” Actually, Xue Wuhen understood that there was only one way for her to go, and that was to go back and find a place to exchange keys. However, it was very difficult to find an exit. If she left again, what if she couldn’t find it later? This thought caused Xue Wuhen to wander in front of the stone door for a long time.
In the end, Xue Wuhen still had no choice but to return the same way and continue searching for a place to exchange keys.
Xu You, who was already waiting at the key exchange point, could not wait for Xue Wuhen’s response. He would shout a few times every once in a while, hoping to help Xue Wuhen find the key exchange point. He believed that Xue Wuhen would not disappoint him.
…
Outside the temple.
Blood Rose had already walked more than 10 laps on the outermost floor of Lollipop, but she couldn’t find any way to go up. She raised her head to look at the main hall. This height of several dozen meters had actually become a mountain that couldn’t be climbed. Blood Rose was extremely disappointed with this. She had paid such a high price to enter, but found that there was no way to go. This feeling was truly terrible.
“How did Yue Wuyou and the others get up?” Blood Rose thought. She didn’t find Yue Wuyou or Snow Wuhen, so they should have found a way to go up.
However, no matter how she thought about it, Blood Rose did not get any answers, nor did she have any way to try. In the end, at a loss, she walked to the wall beside the entrance passage and sat down, playing with the vines hanging down. Her expression was lonely, like a lonely child, helpless, and hesitant.
