Chapter 1219 The World Was Born Where the Gods Slept (41)

World Tree Secret Realm Area A.

The tree is the weird maze.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, scorching this mysterious three-dimensional rock forest maze.

The maze consists of three completely different spaces. The upper layer is an intricate suspended rock corridor with sharp stone edges hanging down. Sunlight shines through the gaps, forming a series of light curtains of light and dark.

The middle layer is a lush yet dangerous rock forest. The blue-black stone trees grow in an interlaced manner, with twisted branches and sharp saw-tooth leaves. When the breeze blows, they make a "clicking" sound. They have the same shape as the tree monster.

However, only a very small number of them are tree-type Pokémon, and the vast majority are tree-type rock statues made of rocks.

The lower level is a crisscross of rock cracks, with varying widths. Some places are only wide enough for one person to pass through sideways, and the ground is covered with gravel and sand.

Wu Muyang had been in the maze for several hours. Sweat had already soaked his clothes and kept sliding down his cheeks.

He squatted beside a crevice in the lower passage, carefully observing a fresh scratch. He stretched out his dry palm and gently stroked the yellow sand on the ground, feeling the depth and direction of the scratch, and his fingertips were stained with some fine stone powder.

"This scratch hasn't been smoothed out by the wind and sand yet. According to the previous rules, the maze will undergo a round of three-dimensional movement every twenty or forty minutes. Now there should be 10 minutes until the next round of movement."

He whispered to himself, his voice echoing in the narrow passage, and the Night Demon and the Shield Blade floated beside him.

Wu Muyang stood up slowly. Just as he stood up, a dull "boom" sound came from above his head, as if a heavy object was moving slowly.

Wu Muyang subconsciously looked up and saw that the upper rock wall began to move slowly downwards. Although the speed was not fast, the feeling of oppression was overwhelming.

The space that was originally large enough for a person to stand upright suddenly became more than half a meter shorter. The sharp stone edges pressed towards it, making a loud "boom" sound.

"Something's wrong. This time it's not just shrinking left and right, it's also moving up and down!"

Wu Muyang was shocked and quickly ran towards the middle rocky forest.

While running, he keenly noticed that something strange was happening in the lower passage beneath his feet.

The ground shook slightly, and the rock walls on both sides seemed to be pushed by a pair of invisible hands, slowly shifting sideways toward the center. The passage, which had been barely passable sideways, suddenly narrowed by two fingers. Wu Muyang was forced to slow down and move forward cautiously sideways, each step extremely difficult, fearing that he would be pinched by the approaching rock wall.

"This is a three-dimensional linkage of up, down, left, and right!"

Wu Muyang struggled forward while looking down at his mobile phone.

Even though the situation was extremely critical, Wu Muyang remained calm, his eyes fixed on his mobile phone, and the numbers on the screen kept jumping.

"There are still eight minutes left... Last time, the movement was only left and right, but this time there's also movement up and down, even though we already know that movement in the maze is related to time."

"It seems that time controls the movement of different dimensions in stages... Every once in a while, this kind of coordinated transformation of up and down, left and right occurs."

Wu Muyang muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement and anticipation. The desire and challenge of solving the maze made him temporarily forget the fear of being in danger.

He continued to crawl forward along the lower passage, but suddenly found that there was something wrong with the rock tree in the middle layer.

The originally still stone tree suddenly began to rotate slowly. The stone branches near the east side slowly swayed towards the west, as if it was deliberately blocking certain passages.

"The upper, middle, and lower mazes are all moving simultaneously, and they're linked up and down and left and right. No wonder almost no one can crack the Tree Maze."

He stopped, stared at his phone, and counted down silently in his heart: eight minutes, seven minutes, six minutes, five minutes... Just when the countdown reached five minutes.

The downward movement of the upper rock wall came to an abrupt halt, and the lateral movement of the lower passage also gradually slowed down. However, the rock trees in the middle layer began to rotate faster and faster like a lit powder keg, and the branches collided with each other, making a deafening sound.

"Five minutes is the critical moment for the upper rock wall to move!" Wu Muyang's eyes flashed, and his mind quickly sorted out all the clues he had observed before. "In the first five minutes, that is, from ten minutes to five minutes, the upper and lower layers move. And in the next five minutes, from now until the next five minutes, the middle layer begins to rotate. From now on, as long as we find the pattern of the rotation direction, we can solve the mystery of the maze's movement."

With this idea in mind, Wu Muyang carefully groped along the roots of the middle-level rock tree and continued to travel through the maze.

Under a rocky tree with intertwined branches and particularly thick branches, he found that the sand here was obviously denser than elsewhere, as if it had been compacted by heavy objects for a long time.

trap?

"Shieldsword Monster, cut this open!"

The Tree Monster Maze does not only have puzzles to solve, but also various traps that appear occasionally. Although they are not dangerous, they are very disgusting.

Sometimes, you will even fall directly to the entrance of the maze and start all over again!

As Wu Muyang's voice fell, the sharp sword of the Shield Sword Monster slashed on the sand layer, digging away the sand layer covering it.

As the gravel was dug away bit by bit, a stone slab embedded in the rock gradually emerged, with a striking "H"-shaped symbol engraved on it.

The "H"-shaped symbol is composed of seven orange cores, which corresponds to the core symbol of Reggie Locke. Wu Muyang has seen this symbol more than once on the way to the maze.

However, this time the "H"-shaped symbol is different from the "H"-shaped symbols seen before. The vertical mark of this symbol is twice as deep as usual, and next to the vertical mark, there are upward and downward arrows engraved respectively. There is a small groove at each end of the horizontal mark, and left and right arrows are engraved next to the groove; next to the small hole in the midpoint of the symbol, there is an extremely fine scale with an hour hand dial marked on it.

"The dial represents time, and the arrow represents the direction of rotation?"

"The law representing rotation is controlled in stages according to time, and the arrows next to the "H" symbol correspond to movement in different dimensions." Wu Muyang muttered to himself while lowering his head to observe carefully.

He raised his head and looked at the moving rock trees in the middle layer, then looked at the time on the screen of his mobile phone.

At this moment, the numbers on the phone were jumping mercilessly, and two minutes had passed.

The rock tree in the middle layer was spinning more and more rapidly, and its branches were dancing wildly, and it seemed that it was about to completely block Wu Muyang's only way forward.

"There is no time to observe now, we have to leave here first. Shield Sword Monster, charge forward, Night Demon, pay attention to whether there are any traps." Wu Muyang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice while looking at the constantly rotating passage in front of him.
