"The energy fluctuations in this space are unusual. The magic wedge we are looking for is very likely to be here."
As Barong spoke, he turned around suddenly as if he sensed something unusual, and saw that the door he had just entered melted away under his eyes, as if it had never appeared, and there was no trace left, not even the breath left.
"It seems there is no way out."
As the exit disappeared, both of their expressions became tense. Holding the spirit sword tightly in her hand, Artoris's eyes swept across the surrounding walls of water, and finally looked straight ahead.
"Let's try first to see if we can break through it with violence." Artolis said, and the straightened sword gradually glowed with white light.
Since it is a man-made maze, exploring along the path presented in front of you is exactly what the maze creator intended. And if the tolerance threshold of the maze barrier is below the power of your own attack, you don't need to explore the maze, and you can avoid the unknown danger you are about to reach.
However, Artolis was disappointed. The sword energy thrown out with all her strength did not cause any damage to the water wall. It was like rejecting all attacks, causing the flying sword energy to lose its due power.
It was like a pebble sinking into the vast ocean, without even ripples appearing, it was lost under the girl's cat-like pupils.
"Ming Jing Shisui, indeed there is no reason for the creator of the maze to not think of this. It is thought that this special barrier was specially set up to prevent someone from not following the rules of the maze and choosing to break through violently." Barong said after witnessing this scene. , frowned slightly.
"There is no shortcut to find, we can only explore step by step."
"Then just like before, it's not impossible to explore."
Artoris didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, and Baron had no intention of explaining it. After shaking his head with a wry smile, he opened his legs and stepped into the maze first.
Seeing this, Artoris did not hesitate and followed closely, dragging her spirit sword.
It is really surprising to step on the water that is as smooth as a mirror, but it feels like walking on flat ground. If it weren't for the ripples where you stepped, Artolis would definitely associate this with the illusion.
I thought that I would find the right path smoothly as before, but the reality was not satisfactory. Just when he came to the second fork in the road, Barong in front stopped.
"What's wrong?" Atoris asked after seeing this.
"We are trapped!" After looking around at the scene, Barong gave this reply with a solemn expression.
"How could it be? We obviously only left two..." Artolis felt incredible. She was about to refute Baron's statement, but when she looked back, she found that the path she had taken before had obviously changed.
The surrounding water wall seemed to be alive, filling in the road behind it at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then opening up new pathways. The moving maze seemed to confirm Barong's judgment. From the moment they stepped into it, the two of them had lost their way.
A drop of cold sweat slipped from Artolis's forehead, and she couldn't help but swallow as she looked at the incredible sight.
"None of the water walls have characteristics that are obvious enough to distinguish different ones. Even if the maze does not move, it is not easy to find the correct path simply by relying on memory. Moreover, there is no way to mark such a place."
Barong explained, took out two spiritual stones, and put one of them into the wall of water in front of him. The water flow pushed the spiritual stones upward into the sky, and soon disappeared.
Then he dropped another spiritual stone at his feet. The spiritual stone seemed to be pulled by a great force. It sank into the water and disappeared from the end of the field of vision in the blink of an eye.
"This..." Artoris's eyes widened after learning this information. She had not seen strange mazes before, just like the spatial discontinuity fault maze in Gawain's professional assessment. She could do If marked, there are ways to break even the moving maze.
And this maze that doesn't even allow signs to exist, can anyone really conquer it except the creator himself?
"Excessive worry will not help. Just rest here for a while." After Barong finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
Artoris knew that Baron was thinking about countermeasures, so she did not choose to disturb him. After the sword spirit of the Life Spirit Sword was guarding here, she also sat down.
For some unknown reason, Artoris felt that the connection between the other consciousness that existed in this world and this place was much stronger than at the beginning. She didn’t know whether it was because the dichotomous consciousness was more consolidated, or because the line was getting closer to the Xia Corridor of the Heavenly Realm. The changes that come.
In short, strengthening the connection can be regarded as a good thing. If the two consciousnesses advance together over time, it will undoubtedly greatly improve one's own cultivation.
Feeling that Artoris gradually opened her eyes, there were no monsters blocking the maze. Maybe the creator still had a conscience and did not give them a higher difficulty. However, even so, it would be impossible to break through this maze. so easy.
"Artoris, let's use your subjective judgment. Which direction do you think can lead to the exit of the maze?"
Baron on the side suddenly asked a question for no reason, making Artolis slightly stunned. Wherever he looked, he saw that Barong had opened his eyes like him and cast a trusting look at him.
"What do you mean?" Artolis failed to understand what Baron meant, and was a little confused about his strange question for a moment.
“Without thinking too much, just point in the right direction with your heart.”
"Ah~oh~ok!"
Atoris didn't know what kind of deal Balong was trying to sell, but since it was up to her to judge, then...
"This direction!" Artolis raised her hand and pointed to a certain place in the field of vision.
"reason?"
"The exits from the second to fifth floors of the Water City Labyrinth are located on the right, front, left, and center respectively. When we excavated Trausk's head, we sent the Spirit Sword to the first floor to explore. The exits are located at The middle of the entrance direction. Therefore, the positions of the first five floors are center, right, front, left, and center. Although the maze on the first five floors of the temple was acquired, the exit was designed when the Balinoa civilization was still there. In this way, if the four directions form a cycle, then the fifth floor is the middle, and this floor may be the right. However, I think the mirror door at the entrance may be a hint, and the internal structure may be similar to the mirror projection. In fact, it is the opposite. Therefore, we should not use 'queue', but use the 'stack' formula to judge with 'last in first out' with 'middle' as the boundary. This should be the reason why I chose left. From the entrance, it is left It’s ahead!”
Artoris explained with a bit of pride. She once said that this time she did not make a blind choice based on intuition. The soundness of this analysis would definitely be recognized by Baron.
"Well, the analysis is very good, then let's choose the right side."
"ha?"
