Chapter 744: Periphery; Middle; Depth; Human-level Puppet!

......

"I've said that before."

"Adventurers who explore the bronze labyrinth roughly divide the labyrinth into three parts."

"Outside, it's mainly about finding your way. As long as you don't get lost, there's almost no danger."

The walls inside the maze are the same as those seen from the outside.

Dark green in color, and equally hard.

It was high above my head, and a faint grey light shone down from the ceiling.

So that the inside of the maze is not completely dark and nothing can be seen.

The square corridor is about ten meters wide.

Within a hundred meters, you can see several turning roads. No wonder it is called a 'maze'.

On the walls, the floor, and even the ceiling.

These are all marks left by our predecessors.

Some are brightly colored, while others are mottled and old.

Dense, but no one deliberately covers up other people's marks.

Countless marks are engraved on the wall in various ways, forming a unique and peculiar picture.

If it weren't for the Ark that just now caused panic among the people.

Exploring a maze may be like exploring a historical site.

Akshan was in the center of the team, acting as a tour guide, introducing everyone to the precautions of the Bronze Maze.

"The outer perimeter of the maze, which is where we are now."

"The entrance we came in from didn't have any marks left by Senior Yin Gegu."

"We want to get through the perimeter. We estimate..." Akshan thought for a moment and said conservatively, "Five hours."

"After the outer area, there is the central area, which is the key to the bronze maze becoming a 'forbidden area'."

"There is a kind of bronze puppet there, and there are a lot of them."

"Unlike the undead, they are strong and weak. Even if I encounter some strong ones, I have to choose to escape."

Having said that, Akshan glanced at Li Yao.

"Of course, it's not a big problem for our team."

"Crystals can be collected in the central area. The energy core of stronger puppets is the crystal."

"As for the Extreme Crystal Stone that Li Yao mentioned, I have never heard of it. Therefore, it is most likely in the deepest layer. The situation there can only be known by going there."

"Could it be in the strongest puppet in the central area?" Shang Yana asked.

Deep down, it sounds dangerous.

If it is not necessary.

The mountain boat is still parked outside.

She didn't want Li Yao to take the risk.

"Impossible, you will know when you see the puppet." Akshan shook his head.

"My opinion is that we should go to the central area to look for Narimaj's team first, just in case..." Akshan looked at Li Yao.

The scene of this guy destroying the ancient sand city is still vivid in my mind.

Even if the crystal is the culprit of the fire disaster.

But now every city needs crystals to survive.

We must make it clear to the people of Narimaj before destroying it.

Those guys...

Although I am helping other cities collect crystals.

But they don't get along so well.

Crystals are equivalent to their authority, and they collect crystals only to better control other cities.

Once Li Yao's existence is discovered, their way of collecting crystals will be destroyed.

They found themselves defeated.

I will definitely notify the emperor as soon as possible.

It will all be over then.

Li Yao saved him.

Our current actions are even saving the entire Shurima continent.

It is neither emotional nor logical for Akshan to want to see anything happen to Li Yao.

Li Yao saw Akshan's gaze.

But he had his plans.

"Don't look for it deliberately. You can meet it if you see it, but our primary goal now is the Extreme Crystal Stone!"

Li Yao said this very seriously.

The guy who got off the mountain boat.

It is unclear what its goal is.

In short, it is definitely not a cheap product like [Crystal].

Its target is definitely deep.

If it gets the [Extreme Crystal Stone], we will inevitably have to fight with it.

Before the Fire Lord is dealt with.

No need to add extraneous details.

If possible, he didn't want to meet that kind of top-notch expert now.

"I understand." Faced with Li Yao's firm attitude, Akshan had no choice but to nod and lead everyone to quickly shuttle through the maze.

Enter from an unknown entrance.

Without any marks left by the adventurers in the Valley of Songs, Akshan could only look for clues from the marks left by others to find the direction to the central area.

See Akshan's study of these symbols.

Everyone understood his intention.

They all came forward to observe these marks.

Take one step and stop two steps.

The peripheral process is much slower than expected.

"Kasha."

A white figure appeared beside Li Yao.

Enjoy the attribute bonus of [The World is So Small], and the agility attribute will skyrocket.

If you can't tell the direction.

Then rely on speed and try one direction at a time!

The middle area does not require pathfinding, it is more about hunting puppets.

therefore.

The fewer marks there are, the closer we are to the central area!

About an hour passed.

"Akshan, come and take a look at this symbol." Kujo Mise said at the wall.

The marks left by the Shurimans were difficult for them to discern their purpose.

"This is the third time I've seen this mark. We should be walking in the direction of this mark."

Akshan came closer, "It seems to be a unique symbol of Nashiram..."

After a long silence, Akshan said uncertainly, "Next intersection... on the left?"

“???” Mu Xiaoxiao covered her forehead with her hands. What Old Luo said was right. This guy Akshan was not as reliable as imagined!

"Give it a try. We can only make one mistake at most." Akshan said with a wry smile. He pointed to the first half of the character. "This is the end mark. It should be the last part of the mark. It proves that the direction we went in was correct."

"Even if it's not the left side, you can go back and walk the other side to reach the central area."

"Let's go, let's go." Mr. Luo decided to trust Akshan once.

Fortunately.

After walking a few steps, the surrounding marks were visibly reduced.

Akshan breathed a sigh of relief.

The great Akshan volunteered to be the guide.

Fortunately, nothing bad happened!

Otherwise you will lose face.

Li Yao also called Kassadin back.

There were at least eighty intersections that Kassa was exploring ahead, if not a hundred.

Still haven't found the right path.

This can be seen.

The word 'maze' is well deserved!

These marks are the routes left by countless adventurers at the cost of their lives in the two years since the fire disaster occurred.

In the absence of predecessors, they can only try one path at a time.

And getting lost in a maze can be fatal!

“clang...clang...”

The marks just started to decrease.

A sound of metallic friction came from the corner ahead.

"Because it's not a living thing, it has no breath?"

Li Yao muttered softly.

A second before the sound appeared, he did not sense any breath.

A dark green gear-assembled creature appeared in front of everyone.

"The weakest 'human-level puppet', good luck."

When this puppet appeared in front of him.

Everyone then understood why Akshan had said before that when they saw it, they knew that this creature could not possibly have [Extreme Crystal Stone].

Except the head.

The entire body is made up of bronze gears.

Every movement is the result of the rotation of gears.

And the source of power is clearly in the head.

'Human-level' puppet, which is the weakest bronze puppet.

The core of the head is a milky white ball of light the size of a pebble.

A low-level spiritual creature that cannot be named.

Revealed.

If there really is a crystal.

You can see it at a glance.
