What about unknown parasitic life forms?
The shadow clone guarded the door of the house, just like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly killed the villagers who were rushing towards them. It was quite courageous for one man to guard the gate and ten thousand others to stop it.
But Chu Xin's heart became heavier and heavier. The enemy should not be so simple, otherwise he would not have to balance his strength to five stars when entering.
But as a mission target, the parasitic life form is too weak and does not look like a qualified enemy at all.
When something strange happens, there must be a monster. The simpler you act now, the bigger the hole you will dig next.
Thinking of this, Chu Xin quietly moved more than ten meters deep into the ground with his iron scales to avoid suffering any disaster later.
While I was thinking about it, something strange happened.
The shadow clone that was killing everyone in the room suddenly froze as if pressing the pause button.
A "squeaking" sound came from his body, and the shadow clone quickly expanded like a balloon.
Sensing something strange, Chu Xin's expression changed, and the shadow clone lost contact.
"boom"!
The smoke and dust scattered, and the entire house collapsed, revealing a terrifying figure more than three meters tall.
This is a monster that looks like a cheetah, with strong limbs, but without any fur on its body, revealing the flesh and blood wrapped in fascia underneath, which looks terrifying and weird.
As for Chu Xin's shadow clone, it disappeared silently.
Based on what he sensed, Chu Xin guessed that this monster should have emerged from the body of the shadow clone.
Uh-huh!
The monster's eyes looked directly to the ground, and two eyes that seemed to be substantial were locked on Chu Xin.
Found!
Chu Xin's breathing stagnated. He was so deep underground and had the power of mental shielding, yet he was noticed by the other party at a glance.
This means that the other party's perception is not only amazing, but his strength is also far superior to him.
Facing the opponent's murderous gaze, Chu Xin sensed the opponent's strength.
Sure enough, the six-star peak was an existence that they could not match at all.
After the monster noticed Chu Xin's position, its sharp claws began to dig wildly, and the speed was not too slow while the dirt was flying.
Is it so powerful!
"Retreat!" Chu Xin shouted when he saw that the situation was not good.
Tie Lin led the two men to retreat quickly, and the excavated underground passages were quickly filled with soil and sealed.
There is a difference between a professional and an unprofessional. The monster's digging speed cannot keep up with Iron Scale.
With an angry roar, Chu Xin was out of the monster's perception range.
Even if it chases after her with flying claws, it can't keep Chu Xin from wanting to leave.
The nearest target within the sensing range disappeared, and the monster immediately changed its direction. In the dark village, a dark shadow was sneaking towards the center of the village.
Its movements were very stealthy, hidden in the shadows, and perfectly integrated into one body, but it was instantly locked by this monster.
"What a terrifying perception!" Chu Xin simply asked the shadow to give up hiding and rushed madly to the center of the village, trying to use the limited time to explore.
But in less than ten seconds, the monster caught up with the shadow clone.
"Wave", with a soft sound, the shadow clone appeared in the opponent's big mouth full of sharp teeth, dispersed into countless shadow energy, and disappeared without a trace.
After being stunned for a moment, the monster roared angrily, spreading its anger on the remaining villagers and dogs in the village.
One bite at a time, it began to slaughter these parasitized targets crazily.
Every time it swallows one, its momentum will rise by one point, and its strength will also increase a little.
After the entire village was slaughtered, a seven-star boss appeared.
Chu Xin was hiding deep underground. Seeing this scene unfold, he was completely convinced that the prompt to enter the maze was simply a trap by the goblin.
If he had really followed the goblin's prompts and rushed into the village to fight, he would have gone back to his territory to be in a daze by now.
This extremely tempting task is definitely a trap.
Chu Xin's heart sank, and he thought of a more serious problem.
So, does it also mean that those things that automatically escape from the maze and are protected by rules are also lies.
"Reminder, you have seen through the goblin's deception, please correct the information."
"Maze Tip 1: The dark hole is the direction of the light; Maze Tip 2: The fairy can modify the content every time the maze tip is released. After seeing through it, it will automatically change to the original maze tip; Maze Tip 3: The key in the village is the certificate that opens the exit door of the maze."
Chu Xin frowned. He roughly understood the meaning of the Dark Castle. The goblin could modify the guidance prompts of the maze, but could not modify the specific rules of the maze.
Just as he thought, the next mission to kill all the unknown parasitic life forms was the hole dug by the goblins.
Through the change just now, Chu Xin guessed the terrible thing about these parasitic life forms. As long as the killer kills the parasitized object, the parasitic state will automatically transfer to the killer, just like the shadow clone. General.
And with the continuous killing, this state will gradually deepen, and when it reaches a certain level, it will be hatched.
Therefore, there was a scene where the shadow clone was directly burst and turned into that terrifying monster.
Even energy bodies like shadow clones can be parasitic, which I have to say is really scary.
What's even more terrifying is that this parasite will also devour its own kind and continuously strengthen itself. Once you choose to avoid fighting at the beginning, it will strengthen itself into a seven-star boss as quickly as possible.
This goblin who designed the contents of the maze is really not an ordinary person who can trick people. If a normal person casually enters the village to cause trouble, it will be easy for it to trick him.
Even if you are more cautious, you only need to make a tentative move once you get in, and it will be difficult to come back once the parasitic state is set.
Parasites were able to sense each other before. As long as the parasite state is activated, hiding will basically have no effect. Those parasitized villagers and dogs will be sent to you to kill, quickly awakening the parasitic life form.
And even if you discover a problem and don't take action, the parasitic lifeforms in your body will gradually wake up over time and eventually devour you.
In addition to Chu Xin's cowardly approach, perhaps another mode of clearance is to come in and search the village despite the attacks of crowds and dogs.
"After all, I still underestimated the other party!" Chu Xin sighed. Although he was not tricked by the goblin, the seven-star boss has already taken shape, and no matter what he does next, he will be greatly hindered.
And more importantly, although the strength of these three five-star novices has been promoted to five stars, they are only pure physical attributes and have not obtained matching abilities, and the methods they can use are also extremely limited.
However, the goblin's scam was finally solved, and the maze exploration can be considered a big step forward.
Another point is that Chu Xin also verified another thing in his heart. The goblin has not been to his hometown. All these tasks were done by the Dark Castle himself.
There is a high probability that this black castle came with him, so it was inevitably contaminated with a lot of things.
There is no way to think deeply about this kind of problem. The conspiracy theory or the guinea pig theory has no meaning. Anyway, life is not bad now, so continue to live it if you can.
Chu Xin quickly retracted his thoughts and began to patiently test the monster's sensory limits underground.
The labyrinth gave this monster great strength, which served as a balance. Its IQ took a big hit and was cut to the point where it was half disabled.
Therefore, Chu Xin easily tested the limit distance perceived by the other party.
The underground space is about thirty meters, and the sensing area is roughly a semicircle with a radius of thirty meters.
In the above-ground area, the perception range covers an entire village, making it very difficult to deal with.
After confirming this, Chu Xin kept a sufficient distance and began to search the entire village room by room.
After reaching five-star strength, his mental power has been greatly improved, and his mental perception ability has also reached an astonishing level.
Although limited by the implicit rules of the maze, the range of perception was suppressed to fifty meters, but underground, Chu Xin was still able to reach this limit of fifty meters.
Therefore, he can easily avoid the monster's perception and detect the situation of the room on the ground.
The maze prompt gives two directions. One is the dark hole, which should be a worthy feature, and the direction of light means leaving, and the other is the key to the room that needs to be obtained.
Two hints, one is the door and the other is the key, both are indispensable.
Of the two, the key was the easiest to find, and Chu Xin found the clue with almost no effort.
Because the monster on the ground, after slaughtering the entire village, returned to a house on the left side of the village and lay down in front of it.
No matter how stupid Chu Xin was, he could still guess that there was something wrong with this room.
In order to prevent him from escaping the maze, the monster's first mission must be to kill them all. Its secondary mission, Mu Yong suspected, must be to protect key targets.
After confirming that there was something wrong with the room, Chu Xin easily investigated and noticed the key bathed in golden light in the room.
Very coquettish, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be discovered.
Chu Xin's heart sank, and she suddenly felt that there might be some deep pit waiting for him with this key.
After thinking about it carefully, there should be no problem with the maze prompt. Could it be the key itself?
No, I had already been deceived once. There was no guarantee that the correction prompt would be fine. Chu Xin had doubts again.
But after thinking about it carefully, he rejected this idea. He probably wouldn't allow the goblin to play like this, otherwise no one would be able to get out of this maze.
This matter became more and more complicated the more she thought about it. Chu Xin originally thought that the maze was like a maze with many walls, separated by passages, and a time limit to find the right passage to get out. Unexpectedly, the goblin turned it into something like this.
Without the detection function of Black Castle, the authenticity of the key cannot be judged. Chu Xin can only choose to get the key first and then make the next judgment.
But how to get the key under the protection of the monster?
Chu Xin quickly made a decision. He was just using this monster's attack priority to make a fuss.
Of the three maze explorers, only one of them needs to be seduced outside the village and draw its attention away. Here, Iron Scales will go straight to Huanglong and take the key.
After getting the key, the explorer adds the key, and the attack priority will naturally be the highest, and the monster will be quickly lured back.
At that time, all that is needed is to block the underground passage with iron scales, and it will be complete. No matter how powerful this monster is, he can only stare blankly.
Chu Xin stayed quietly for a while, and the cooling of the shadow clone finally ended. After charging for one hour and talking for ten minutes, it was still not in line with the mainstream rhythm of society.
It would be great if this shadow clone had a ten minute cooldown that lasted an hour.
Unfortunately, the rock and soil puppet is a spell attached to the magic book and cannot be used in the warehouse. Chu Xin cannot use the spells engraved on it.
What he can summon now is the shadow clone.
The shadow clone will only appear near him, so the team must be divided. He must summon the shadow, and here, Xiao Qing and Tie Lin are responsible for stealing the key.
This key belongs to the thing guarded by the monster, so it is very likely that once there is a problem with the key, the other party will rush back as soon as possible, so the passage here needs to be blocked first, and the iron scale is more necessary here. .
In the darkness, from the rightmost corner of the village, two black figures jumped out one after another.
As soon as the black shadows appeared, they separated and ran quickly in two directions.
Inside the passage, Chu Xin deployed an earth wall to block the entrance, and quickly rushed towards Tie Lin.
The three maze explorers all had reminders of the countdown to the maze exploration. Tie Lin might not be able to understand it, but Xiao Qing did, so Chu Xin made an appointment with them and took action as soon as the time came.
This time was calculated by Chu Xin by predicting the speed of himself and the monster. Although it is not particularly accurate, it can be roughly guaranteed that when Tie Lin takes action, the monster will almost chase the monster to the edge of the village. .
Of course, there is also a situation where the seduce cannot be stopped. This kind of iron scales must make their own judgment and terminate the action.
Chu Xin moved quickly in the passage, and only about halfway out, the two shadow clones sent out died one after another.
It seemed that the attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain was successful, and Chu Xin was reassured.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a feeling of being locked suddenly came to his mind. Chu Xin was shocked. He was more than fifty meters deep underground, why would he still feel this way?
There was only one possibility, that the monster chased into the underground passage.
This was something Chu Xin had never expected. As a guardian, the dual goals of the key and the maze explorer could not divert its attention.
Could it be that his judgment was wrong and the other party was not a complete idiot, or that the key was actually just a fake.
The monster was huge. It should have been impossible for it to get through a hole as wide as one person, but it happened.
Chu Xin was not prepared for this at all. It was definitely impossible to fight head-on. At the moment, he could only quickly join forces with Tie Lin. Only with this underground king-level player could he gain an advantage in the confrontation with his opponent.
"Iron Scales, Iron Scales, come and pick me up!" Chu Xin called as he ran forward crazily.
But he could feel that the thorny feeling behind him was gradually getting stronger.
That monster's pursuit speed is faster than mine!
