Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue stepped into the third floor of the maze, and they saw a dark and terrifying scene in front of them.
The surroundings were filled with thick dark energy, making the air heavy and suffocating.
They moved forward cautiously, keeping an eye on what was going on around them.
Suddenly, a burst of shrill screams resounded throughout the maze, making Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue's hearts tighten.
The screams were getting closer and closer, and they clenched their weapons tightly, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the fog, as fast as a ghost.
This is a huge black bat, with a cold black aura exuding from its entire body.
Its wings spread out, revealing sharp claws, and it stared with blood-red eyes, as if it were a demon escaping from hell.
Zhang Jianlai gritted his teeth, channeled enough energy in his body, and launched an attack with the meteor sword in his hand. The sword's light was like lightning, instantly cutting through the black bat's figure.
Guan Mingyue fully drew the bowstring and shot several sharp arrows. The arrow shot through the air like lightning, piercing the black bat's vitals.
The black bat keenly felt the fatal threat, let out a low roar, and flapped its wings violently, triggering a powerful storm. Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue were forced to retreat and almost lost their balance.
The black bat took the opportunity to pounce on them, flapping its wings violently, and the storm it stirred up roared past, making people dizzy.
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue are determined not to retreat. They know that they can only win by persisting until the end. They worked together and performed coordinated attacks in tacit understanding.
Zhang Jianlai walked around the back of the black bat at lightning speed and slashed at its wings with a sword.
Guan Mingyue used the black bat's attack to dodge flexibly and shoot deadly arrows.
The black bat was severely injured and screamed in pain, but its ferocious attack still did not stop. It flaps its huge wings and releases dark energy, forming a huge energy storm.
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue immediately realized the danger, and they worked together to display their strongest defensive skills. A shield of light protected them, blocking the invasion of dark energy.
The black bat's attacks continued to hit the light shield, making a dull impact sound. Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue felt the tremendous pressure from the mask, but they did not flinch and firmly maintained a defensive posture.
The black bat's attack gradually weakened and finally stopped. Its body began to tremble, and the dark aura gradually dissipated, eventually turning into a pool of black blood.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully defeating the dark bat and obtaining 50,000 extreme points and a piece of legendary equipment! 】The system prompt sounded again.
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue were breathing heavily, with tired but satisfied smiles on their faces. The rewards they received exceeded their expectations, which strengthened their determination to move forward.
[Ding, the boss of the third floor of the maze, the Spider King, is about to appear. Please be prepared, host! 】The system reminded again.
"Spider King?" Zhang Jianlai frowned slightly. He didn't expect that there was a boss on the third floor.
[Ding, the Spider King is strong and possesses unparalleled power. Please prepare the host to avoid being killed! 】The system reminded.
The storm of dark energy gradually subsided, and Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. They stood there, staring in the direction where the Spider King appeared.
From the dark shadows, a giant spider appeared silently in front of them. Its body is covered with a hard black carapace, and its long, curved spider legs crawl gently on the ground, making a faint creaking sound.
"Mingyue, be careful, this spider is too powerful."
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue were shocked by this huge Spider King, and they could feel the powerful oppression emanating from it. This is a true monster with unparalleled power.
The Spider King's eight red eyes locked on Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue, as if they wanted to swallow them completely. It opened its huge mouthparts, revealing its long sharp teeth, exuding a heart-stopping chill.
Zhang Jianlai held the Meteor Sword tightly in his hand and felt the coldness gradually gathering on the sword.
He knows that this battle will never be easy, but he must stick to his faith, for himself and Guan Mingyue, and for the mysterious goal.
Guan Mingyue fully drew the bowstring and stared at the Spider King.
Endless courage ignited in her heart, and she believed that she and Zhang Jianlai's power could defeat this demonic existence.
The Spider King suddenly roared, its body suddenly expanded, and its spider legs continued to stretch, spreading in all directions.
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue immediately prepared themselves for the coming attack.
The Spider King sent out a powerful shock wave of dark energy and rushed towards them violently. Zhang Jianlai wielded the Meteor Sword and launched a sharp sword energy, instantly defeating the energy shock wave.
Guan Mingyue used her body's agility to nimbly dodge the energy shock wave, and at the same time shot an arrow straight into the Spider King's eyes.
The Spider King roared in pain and rushed toward them. Its huge spider legs slapped the ground hard, making a deafening sound. The ground began to shake, and cracks appeared in the surrounding maze walls.
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue stayed firmly in place. They felt the shaking of the ground and the expansion of cracks. They understand that the Spider King is far more powerful than they imagined and this will be a life and death struggle.
The Spider King pounced on them, Zhang Jianlai channeled his energy and waved the Meteor Sword to attack. The sword light was like lightning, scratching through the Spider King's carapace, but its defensive power was still astonishing, and the sword light only barely scratched a scar.
Guan Mingyue fired several arrows in succession, aiming at the Spider King's weakness, but it nimbly dodged every arrow, as if it had the ability to respond intelligently.
The Spider King roared, and its eyes flashed with fierce light. Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue could feel that it was concentrating its power and preparing to release a more powerful attack.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed, and a figure appeared beside Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue. It was a mysterious woman, wearing gorgeous armor and holding a sword that shone with divine light.
"I'm here to help you!" The mysterious woman's voice was full of determination and strength.
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue felt a warm power surge into their hearts. They knew that this mysterious woman would be their strongest help in defeating the Spider King.
The three worked closely and began a fierce life and death struggle. Their attacks hit the Spider King like a storm, the sword light and sword energy intertwined, and the arrows and sword light pierced the Spider King's body together.
The Spider King roared, unable to stop the attacks of Zhang Jianlai, Guan Mingyue and the mysterious woman. Its body began to tremble, and the dark energy gradually dissipated.
Finally, the Spider King let out one last scream, its body quickly shrank, and finally turned into a pool of black blood.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully defeating the Spider King and obtaining 100,000 extreme points and a piece of legendary equipment! 】The system's voice sounded again.
Zhang Jianlai, Guan Mingyue and the mysterious woman gasped. They stared at the completely disappeared Spider King, their hearts filled with the joy of victory and sense of accomplishment.
They knew that they had passed the third level of the maze and were getting closer and closer to the mysterious goal. This maze will be the stage for them to prove their strength and the starting point for them to find answers.
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue exchanged glances and nodded tacitly. They are determined to keep going until they reach their goal.
The mysterious woman walked up to them, her eyes firm but gentle.
"We still have a long way to go, but as long as we unite as one and believe in our own strength, we will be able to overcome all difficulties." The mysterious woman encouraged them, her voice full of power and confidence.
Immediately afterwards, the mysterious woman suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue got back on their feet, believing that they had entered a new realm. They will no longer be afraid of any challenge, and they will move forward courageously until the final victory.

"Haha, I can finally leave Novice Village. If I stay here any longer, I will get sick."
After hearing the system prompts, Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue both showed excitement. This is already the last copy of Novice Village. They have successfully passed the level and are not afraid of any dangers.
But what they don't know is that this is just the beginning. There are still many problems for them to solve after leaving Novice Village.
