Chapter 931: The "Heroes" Who Mistakenly Entered the Maze

"This... where is this?" Zhang Meng stood blankly in the dark corridor and looked around. In front of him was a gloomy stone wall, which seemed to be the depths of some ancient ruins.

"This is a maze." Qing'er looked around, her brows furrowed like a "川" character, "We are already trapped in this maze."

"A maze? No way?" Zhang Meng's eyes widened like bells. "I'm not a lost child. No one can trap me!"

"Yeah, no one can trap you except yourself." Qing'er rolled her eyes helplessly, "We were teleported to this place, why can't you recognize the current situation?"

Qiqi couldn't help but interrupt: "Look at these walls, they must be ancient seals or mechanisms, not ordinary mazes. Be careful."

"Oh, a mechanism!" Zhang Meng touched his chin. "This is interesting. Isn't the purpose of the mechanism for us to solve? I love challenges like this the most!"

"You..." Qing'er was almost vomiting blood in anger, "Do you want us to be trapped here and die? Can't you be a little more rational and consider the safety issue?"

Zhang Meng spread his hands and smiled: "Being rational or something like that is your business. I, Zhang Meng, have always taken an unconventional approach!"

"Unconventional route?" Qing'er was completely speechless. "Who knows which road you took!"

"I think we should look for some clues and not waste time here." Qiqi observed the surrounding environment, "There are some strange symbols on these walls. They don't look like ordinary decorations."

"Yes, yes, symbols!" Zhang Meng suddenly slapped his thigh, "These symbols are hints, otherwise how could we appear here for no reason?"

Qing'er nodded: "You have a point. However, we still need to analyze what the symbol means."

"Three people, three directions!" Zhang Meng quickly decided, "Let's search for clues separately!"

"Can't you just stay calm?" Qing'er covered her forehead. "I don't care where you go, I have to find the exit anyway."

"Then I'll go find the exit too." Zhang Meng smiled slightly, "However, the exit may be deep in the maze, so none of us can fall behind!"

After saying that, he walked towards one of the passages.

"Are you so sure that we can find the exit through this passage?" Qing'er obviously didn't believe it.

"Of course! I, Zhang Meng, never go back!" Zhang Meng waved his hand and walked forward.

Qing'er and Qiqi looked at each other and had to continue walking along their respective passages.

However, after walking for a while, Zhang Meng's steps began to become hesitant. There seemed to be only endless walls and empty corridors around him. Suddenly, he heard light footsteps coming from behind.

"What's that sound?" Zhang turned around suddenly and found nothing.

He shuddered, feeling a little uneasy: "Did I hear it wrongly?"

At this moment, a deep voice came from the end of the corridor: "The depths of the maze are full of dangers. Do you dare to enter?"

"Look!" Zhang Meng waved his arms excitedly, "There's a sound! This must be the clue to the exit!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Qing'er's voice came from a distance, "This is a trap, don't believe it!"

Zhang Meng didn't hear anything at all. He walked towards the direction where the sound came from: "Since it's a trap, let me break it!"

Suddenly, the surrounding air began to vibrate, and the stone slabs inlaid with runes on both sides of the stone wall began to glow faintly, and the atmosphere of the entire maze became more mysterious and strange.

"This is bad..." Qiqi finally arrived and saw the scene ahead. His expression changed slightly, "Zhang Meng, stop!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Meng smiled proudly, "The ruler of this maze will only scare the timid. How could a brave hero like me be afraid of such a trick!"

Qing'er ran and shouted: "How come you haven't made any progress! These symbols and mechanisms are definitely not that simple!"

Zhang Meng turned around and said, "Don't worry, I know how to deal with it!"

Just as he was about to move forward, suddenly, one side of the corridor collapsed, and a huge iron claw stretched out from the crack and pounced towards Zhang Meng.

"Did you see that? You're asking for death!" Qing'er shouted nervously.

“Haha!” Zhang Meng did not flinch, but instead rushed forward, “That’s a good move! I’ll go play with it now!”

Seeing that the iron claw was about to grab Zhang Meng, Qing'er hurriedly swung her sword at it, but the iron claw was like a living thing, dodging in an instant and continuing to approach Zhang Meng.

"Zhang Meng, retreat quickly!" Qiqi's magic shield immediately appeared in front of him, blocking the attack of the iron claw.

However, Zhang Meng was not in a hurry at all. He looked down at the ground under his feet and said, "Wait, let me find a suitable place."

At this moment, Zhang Meng suddenly jumped up, nimbly avoided the iron claw's grab, and kicked the ground with his backhand.

With a loud "bang", the ground of the entire maze suddenly collapsed. Zhang Meng rolled over and fell directly into a new passage.

"Are you crazy?" Qing'er stood there, almost going crazy, "Are you sick?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Meng climbed out from below, "It's just a small challenge, hurry up and catch up!"

Qiqi and Qing'er were so angry that their faces turned blue, but they had no choice but to jump in. Soon, the three of them fell into an even more complicated maze, surrounded by even more complicated traps.

"This... what is this place?" Qiqi looked back at the increasingly complicated mechanism, frowning, "It looks like we're going to be in real trouble this time."

"No problem." Zhang Meng patted his chest, "I'll be the one making the decision this time!"

"Can you please stop making decisions on your own?" Qing'er was no longer able to refute and could only sigh, "Maybe the design of this mechanism is much more complicated than you thought."

Zhang Meng looked down at the symbols under his feet: "These symbols seem to be direction signs. We just need to take the right route to find the exit!"

"Are you sure?" Qing'er was still worried, "I feel these symbols are not simple, so it's better to be careful."

"Don't worry, my intuition is always accurate!" Zhang Meng was full of confidence, "These traps seem to be set up for those who are timid. As long as we are more courageous, we can get through anything!"

Qiqi smiled helplessly: "When you put it that way, I feel a little more confident."

"Just wait and see if you don't believe me!" Zhang Meng walked in front, "If you take the right path, you will definitely get out!"

As he walked, the mechanism seemed to open automatically, the walls and the ground were no longer closed, and a new path appeared.

"That's right!" Zhang Meng laughed, "I am indeed a natural maze cracker!"

Qing'er and Qiqi were a little skeptical, but they had no choice but to follow behind.

At this moment, suddenly a dazzling light shone out from the depths of the maze, like a signal to welcome their arrival.

"Where... does this lead to?" Qiqi asked puzzledly.

Zhang Meng turned his head and smiled: "The answer is just ahead!"

As the light gradually approached, they finally came to a huge door, on which were engraved unknown runes and totems, as if waiting for them to unlock it.

"It looks like this door is the key to our ultimate goal!" Qing'er concluded, "But we must also be careful, as there may be even greater challenges ahead."

"Challenge? I, Zhang Meng, am not afraid!" Zhang Meng laughed loudly, "Come on! I'm ready!"
