“Ferrari, be careful. I heard from Uncle Jillim that the traps are not patrolled very frequently. We might have to stay in the maze for a while!” Seeing Qin Lun walk forward alone, Elistine warned him worriedly.

Neither Idrya nor she was good at detecting traps in their group. Qin Lun’s perception was very high, and he had a gazing halo that could see through. His profession was also a hunter, and he was the most suitable person to explore other than a thief.

Qin Lun did not summon Venus and Cyberlus this time. Although the Shadow Gale Leopard was very intelligent, it was not strong enough to detect traps. The Hellfire Devil Dog’s skin was thick and thick. It was a good hand at thundering. Unfortunately, this fellow’s movements were too big. If he attracted several ox-headed monsters at the same time, then it would be troublesome.

The Ox-Head Monster Labyrinth had a radius of nearly two kilometers and covered an area of more than sixteen square kilometers. Logically speaking, with Qin Lun and the others’ abilities, it wouldn’t take much time to explore the entire maze, but that was only if the path inside the maze didn’t change.

That’s right. Not only are the walls inside the maze identical, they can also move. Every once in a while, the partition wall in the maze would change its position. It was said that the maze had been given activation spells by the Ox-Head Monsters’ shamans, and that they only had a few abyss abilities left.

Within the narrow labyrinth passageway, the ox-headed monster’s battle advantage would be magnified infinitely. His strength was originally boundless, and coupled with the narrow environment, the enemy didn’t even have a place to hide, making him a nemesis of the magic profession and agility profession.

Qin Lun carefully walked forward along the middle of the maze passageway. The gaze halo in his left eye was shortened by him, and his perception density increased. He focused all of his efforts on detecting possible traps. He didn’t dare to walk along the wall. Apart from the front and back of the passageway, traps could be set up from top to bottom.

According to Gilliam’s brief introduction, there were roughly three types of maze traps for the Ox-Head Monster: fire traps, thorn traps, and falling stone traps. As for whether there were other types of traps, it depended on whether there were suitable trap materials in this dark region.

“Ka … be careful!” A soft sound came from behind the three-man squad. Idrea was very alert. She took a flash step to block Elistine’s path. A huge black shadow drew a half arc from the sky and slammed into the female knight’s shield.

Dang! The round steel shield the knight borrowed from Dwarves let out a loud noise. Idrya was hit by a huge force behind Elven druid, and the two of them instantly turned into rolling gourds.

“Are you alright?” Qin Lun retreated from the front and pulled the two gray-haired men up. Then, he looked at the things that attacked them.

This was a huge stone hammer. The top of the hammer was connected to the top of the tunnel. Qin Lun had not triggered it when he passed by, but the two people behind him had triggered the trap. As a result, they smashed down from the top of the tunnel.

“Looks like your eyes won’t work!” Idria looked at the concave steel shield in the middle and took a deep breath.

Looking at the stone hammer, the three of them had serious expressions on their faces. Idrea did not blame Qin Lun. The shape of the stone hammer was perfectly suited to the gap on the top of the tunnel. It was originally embedded, and its perspective was no different from an ordinary top wall. Only then did it conceal Qin Lun’s gaze halo.

“Everyone be vigilant. Looks like the traps made by these ox-headed monsters are very clever!” Qin Lun warned him and continued forward. However, his speed was getting slower and slower. He had checked the road several times before entering at ease.

“Ferrari, what time is it?” After such a period of time, Qin Lun and the others were mentally exhausted. There weren’t many traps they encountered. This was only the periphery of the labyrinth, but the design of these traps was so ingenious that the three of them had to be in a hurry every time.

The most dangerous of the two was a series of traps that almost trapped Qin Lun. On another occasion, Qin Lun had already checked to see if there was any danger, but just as he was about to encounter the transformation of the labyrinth’s partition wall, a large stone nail slab smashed towards him, causing the three of them to jump.

“It’s been two days and one night!” After checking the duration of his stay on the death list, Qin Lun was immediately shocked. It was only then that they realized that they had completely ignored the passage of time in their concentration.

“No wonder you’re so tired. Let’s take a rest!” Elistine sat down on the ground without caring about his image and took out some dry food and water and handed it to the other two. Qin Lun summoned Venus to patrol the nearby tunnels to avoid being ambushed by the Ox-Head Monster.

It seems a little strange! Looking at the two beauties leaning against each other, Qin Lun did not have time to rest. Over the past two days, the exploration process had been re-filtered in his mind again and again, slowly allowing him to discover some of the details that he had previously overlooked.

The traps they encountered along the way were basically deadly traps. If the ox-headed monster set up these traps for hunting, wouldn’t it be better to ensure that its prey was trapped alive? Ox-headed monsters are also intelligent races, so they don’t like to eat rotten prey, do they?

Should we contact the other teams? Qin Lun took out a mechanical item that resembled a walkie-talkie in his arms, and his gaze flickered slightly.

This was the magical communication device that Jillim had given him. Although the dwarves weren’t good at making magical equipment, this kind of short-range communication device was indispensable.

Miners in Dwarves build caves deep underground and often encounter landslides. This short-range magical communication device is necessary to ensure that others find survivors. During this expedition, Jillim had brought him into several of them.

However, this item was very delicate and expensive, and it would need to be replaced with energy within a few times. Unfortunately, the magic crystals inside were special compositions, and Jillim didn’t have much. Therefore, he had previously instructed Qin Lun not to use this item unless he needed help.

Forget it, there’s still plenty of time, let’s see what happens next! Qin Lun hesitated for a moment before putting away his magic walkie-talkie. However, after Elistine and Idrea woke up, Qin Lun still told them about this suspicion.

“Ferrari, you suspect that the ox-headed monster in this maze fortress has been attacked by a powerful enemy. That’s why the traps used to catch prey have been replaced with deadly traps!” Elistine fell asleep and was much better spirited. He immediately guessed what Qin Lun meant.

“That’s possible, but we still need evidence to support it.” Qin Lun nodded and said helplessly, “This labyrinth is too complicated. Up until now, I have basically lost my sense of direction. The only thing I know is that according to the density of traps, we are slowly approaching the core of the labyrinth.”

Qin Lun’s speculation was somewhat optimistic. In fact, after this conversation, they still found nothing in the next two days. Fortunately, the other teams didn’t activate their magic communication devices, which meant that they weren’t in an uncontrollable predicament.

On the fifth night of the exploration, the voice of the magical walkie-talkie in Kieran’s arms finally came out. The trio from Wei Si had made a major discovery.

“Ferrari and Lord Jillim, we’ve found the bodies of two adult ox-heads here!”

“The corpse of the ox-headed monster?” Jillim’s voice did not sound too shocked. He paused for a moment and gave back his message. “We found a crater here two days ago. It should be the remains of the food the ox-headed monster ate.” “It’s worth noting that these newly left skeletons have been eaten clean. It seems that the ox-headed monster is short of food during this period of time.”

Qin Lun and the remaining group of Dwarves also reported their findings, and Jillim quickly came to the conclusion that everyone was guessing.

‘”The ox-headed monsters in this maze fortress have just been attacked. Moreover, the enemy is very strong. They once invaded the depths of the maze and killed a few ox-headed monsters. As a result, the weak ox-headed monsters began to shrink their defenses. They haven’t harvested any prey during this period of time.”

“Yes, and they also turned the trap into a deadly trap. From this point of view, invaders are harder to deal with than ox-headed monsters!” Mustacha said worriedly, “Lord Gilliam, you’d better inform your companions outside the maze to be careful of potential enemies.”

“We’ve already notified them that they have retreated to the stalactite cave.” Jillim said cautiously, “We have to be careful. Since the Ox-Head Monster no longer takes the initiative to hunt, there is no need for us to split up now. Let’s gather again! Also, bring a corpse of the Ox-Head Monster with you and let me examine it when we meet up.”

“En!” Everyone quickly came to an agreement. Although they were in a maze, it was very simple for the four groups to reunite. The magic communication device had a simple orientation.

Although there were labyrinth partitions blocking straight-line positioning, since they no longer needed to worry about alerting the Ox-Head Monster, they could use violence to break it. At that moment, a slight explosion could be heard from all over the maze.

Previously, the four groups of people had spent five whole days slowly exploring the maze, but now, they had only gathered in a straight line for half a day, and everyone had gathered together. During this process, they did not encounter the Ox-Head Monsters, which proved that these monsters had indeed suffered serious injuries.

“Eh, this kind of wound … I seem to have seen it before, but I can’t remember it anymore!” Seeing the ox-headed monster corpse that Wei Si had brought with him, Jillim frowned.

Apart from Jillim, Qin Lun and the others were also observing the ox-headed monster’s corpse that Wei Si had brought with him.

The ox-headed monster lying flat on the ground had a huge body. From head to toe, it was about 3.6 meters tall, close to the height of two adults. Its feet were two thick hooves and its head had two sharp curved horns, and now one of them had been broken.

However, unlike an ordinary bull’s head, it had a mane from the back of its neck to its back, making it look domineering and majestic. The ox-headed monster was a carnivorous creature. Its mouth was filled with serrated fangs, and the sharp canine teeth on its upper and lower jaws were directly exposed to the outside of its lips.

The ox-headed monster’s upper body was basically the same as a human’s, except that its muscles were well developed, like a bodybuilder who had doubled in size. Its palm only had three fingers. Other than the thumb, the other two fingers were more like the index finger merging with the middle finger, and the ring finger merging with the pinky.

The last difference between the ox-headed monsters and humans was that they had an ox tail, which was one of the few weaknesses of the ox-headed monsters.

When the ox-headed monster was still alive, its eyes were bright red and blood-colored. When it died, it turned into a deep darkness, as if it were pure black agate stones.

“There are three fatal injuries, the heart, the back of the neck, and the left eye socket!” Qin Lun looked at the corpse strangely. “Judging from the shape of the wound, it was pierced by some sharp cone, such as a spear. But why did the muscle fibers in the wound turn out? Could it be a spear with many barbs?”

“A spear with a barb?” “I know what it is” Jillim’s pupils suddenly shrank as he pondered. “But why would it appear here? They should be in the endless abyss of the dark region!”
