Chapter 381: Clever Traps and Smart Responses

The audience in the arena continued to cheer, as if they were looking forward to the next more exciting duel. Qin Feng and his companions won the first battle, but they knew that this was just the beginning. The next challenge might be even more difficult.

"We need to stay calm now and be ready to deal with unknown enemies at any time." Qin Feng said to everyone.

"That's right," Ye Li nodded in agreement, "The battle just now has told us that this space-time arena is full of variables."

Zhang Meng swung his heavy axe and said with a smile: "Come on, no matter what the challenge is, we can handle it!"

Chu Tian looked around with some concern: "I always feel that the next step will not be so simple."

At this moment, the host's voice sounded again: "Warriors, are you ready for the next test? This time, you will face a challenge full of wisdom and courage!"

The ground of the arena began to change again, and a huge maze appeared on the ground. The walls of this maze were towering and intricate, and the entire structure looked like a huge foggy forest.

"Maze?" Qin Feng frowned.

"It doesn't look like a simple maze," Ye Li whispered, "This place is full of unknown dangers."

"The rules of the competition are very simple." The host continued, "You need to pass through this maze and reach the center of the maze within the limited time. There will be various traps and challenges on the way, so you must deal with them carefully. Remember, time is very precious!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Feng and his companions immediately started to act. They quickly entered the maze, and faced with the intricate roads in front of them, everyone felt a little nervous.

"Shall we act separately?" Chu Tian asked.

"No, we have to go together this time." Qin Feng said decisively, "There may be traps in the maze. If we separate, it will be easy to get into trouble."

Everyone nodded and agreed to Qin Feng's suggestion. So, the group carefully moved forward along the path of the maze.

After walking for a while, they came to a fork in the road. There were two roads ahead of the fork, one of which looked spacious and bright, while the other was relatively narrow and dark.

"Which way are we going?" Zhang Meng asked.

"Is there any need to ask? Of course it's the spacious one!" Chu Tian blurted out.

"Wait, the safer the road looks, the more likely it is to have problems." Qin Feng analyzed calmly, "The designer of this maze obviously doesn't want us to pass it easily."

Ye Li nodded in agreement: "That's right, danger often hides in invisible places. Let's take the narrow road."

Everyone agreed with Ye Li's suggestion and walked carefully onto the narrow road.

After walking a few steps, they suddenly heard a slight "click" sound from under their feet, as if they had stepped on a mechanism. Then, a stone door quickly fell from behind them, trapping them in a narrow passage.

"Oh no, it's a trap!" Zhang Meng shouted.

"Calm down!" Qin Feng raised his hand to stop everyone from panicking, "We are not at the point of no return yet."

He carefully observed the walls around him and found some ancient runes engraved on them. The runes seemed to be hinting at some clues to solving the puzzle.

"Everyone, look at these runes." Qin Feng pointed at the wall, "We need to unlock them to open the passage."

"But I can't understand these runes." Chu Tian scratched his head and looked at the ancient characters in confusion.

Ye Li observed carefully for a while, then said: "These runes seem to represent numbers and directions... Well, we need to find a correct arrangement."

Everyone immediately took action and tried to interpret the meaning of these runes. With Ye Li's help, they gradually understood the rules of these runes and successfully solved the puzzle. The runes on the wall flashed, the stone door slowly rose, and the passage reopened.

"Great, it's solved!" Zhang Meng shouted happily.

"Everyone speed up, we are in a hurry." Qin Feng reminded.

As they continued on their way, everyone felt a little more relaxed. However, not long after, they came across another strange room. The walls of the room were flat, with a seemingly ordinary stone bridge in the middle, and under the stone bridge was an abyss with no bottom in sight.

"This bridge looks a little strange." Chu Tian stared at the stone bridge suspiciously.

"Yes, there must be something wrong here." Qin Feng nodded, "Everyone should be careful."

They walked carefully onto the stone bridge, however, just as they reached the middle of the bridge, suddenly, the entire room began to turn upside down!

"Ah! What's going on?" Zhang Meng exclaimed. He felt that he was hanging upside down with his feet off the ground.

"Gravity is inverted!" Ye Li yelled, "We need to grab something!"

Everyone quickly grabbed the stone pillars on the bridge to prevent themselves from falling into the abyss. Qin Feng tried to stabilize his body and quickly scanned the surroundings.

"This should be a short-lived trap." Qin Feng analyzed, "We just need to hold on and don't panic."

Sure enough, not long after, the gravity of the room returned to normal. Everyone fell heavily back onto the bridge. Although they were a little embarrassed, they finally did not fall into the abyss.

"Huh, we're finally safe." Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief. "This maze is really challenging."

"Hurry, let's keep going, time is running out." Qin Feng urged.

As they continued on their way, they became more careful and observed everything around them. Soon, they came to a strange room. The room was surrounded by mirrors, and their figures were reflected in each mirror.

"What's going on?" Zhang Meng frowned and looked at himself in the mirror.

"I don't like this feeling. These mirrors seem to have some strange power." Ye Li said in a low voice.

Suddenly, the images in the mirrors began to move. Each person in the mirror became distorted and began to walk out of the mirror, gradually taking on their appearance.

"This is... our mirror image?" Chu Tian's eyes widened. "They look exactly like us!"

Qin Feng looked at these mirror images and frowned: "Not only do they look like us, I'm afraid they even have the same abilities."

Sure enough, these mirror images began to imitate Qin Feng and his companions' movements, and even used the same skills. The scene instantly became chaotic.

"Are you going to attack us?" Zhang Meng shouted while swinging his heavy axe. "This is going to be troublesome!"

Qin Feng realized that if he continued like this, the battle would become very difficult. So he thought quickly and quickly made a plan.

"Everyone, listen to me. We can't go head-to-head with our own mirror images!" Qin Feng shouted, "They imitate our movements, but if we use completely different tactics, they will be at a loss!"

"Then how do we do it?" Ye Li asked.

"Everyone deals with the mirror image of another person! Zhang Meng, you deal with mine, Ye Li deals with Chu Tian, ​​and Chu Tian deals with Zhang Meng!" Qin Feng quickly assigned tasks.

Everyone quickly followed Qin Feng's instructions. Sure enough, this trick worked. Because everyone's fighting style and skills were different, Mirror Image seemed flustered when facing their attacks.

Zhang Meng wielded the heavy axe. Although it was difficult for him to predict Qin Feng's flexible attacks due to his strength, he used all his strength to swing a few heavy blows and successfully broke Qin Feng's mirror image defense.

Ye Li, relying on her agility and the assistance of the Frost Fox, easily avoided the attack of Chu Tian's mirror image and counterattacked successfully.

Chu Tian used his quick footwork and precise fireball technique to constantly suppress Zhang Meng's mirror image.

Soon, all the mirror images were defeated and turned into rays of light that disappeared into the air.

"Success!" Ye Li said excitedly.

"That was a close call." Chu Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "These mirror images are really hard to deal with."

"Okay, we have to leave quickly." Qin Feng reminded, "Time is almost up."

After passing through the mirrored room, everyone finally saw the center of the maze - a tower shining with golden light. On the top of the tower was a floating treasure chest, shining brightly.

"That's the treasure we are looking for!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly.

"Hurry, time is running out!" Qin Feng shouted.

Everyone quickened their pace and rushed to the tower, finally reaching the top of the tower at the last moment. Qin Feng reached out and touched the treasure chest, which slowly opened, and a dazzling light shot up into the sky.

"Congratulations, warriors!" The host's voice sounded again, "You have passed the test of the maze and successfully obtained the treasure. Your wisdom, courage and teamwork have allowed you to reach the end."

The audience in the arena burst into warm applause and cheers. Qin Feng and his partners smiled at each other, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.

"We did it!" Ye Li said happily.

"Yes, we did it together." Qin Feng replied with a smile, "But this is just the beginning. There will be more challenges waiting for us next."

Everyone nodded, with full anticipation, ready to embrace more adventures in the future.
