Chapter 120: Labyrinth Master

  "The Road to Death, The Road to Heaven, The Road to the Mortal Realm" These are the most eye-catching words on each of the three roads at the fork in the road. The unusually large font size makes them the first thing that everyone sees. Three forks, three titles, representing the possible outcomes that one may face by choosing them, or perhaps intentionally left to confuse travelers.

  If we look at it normally, ordinary people will not choose the road to death because no one wants to die. However, the way to heaven also contains the meaning of death, so the only choice is the way to the world, but this title also has the meaning of leaving relics, which is obviously not in line with Mo Yan's purpose.

  If they leave without getting anything, then the meaning of their coming here will be lost. Mo Yan participated in this expedition to explore the ruins precisely to figure out what kind of power was hidden here that could drive the digging monsters crazy just by leaking some breath.

  "Which path is good? It seems that no matter which path I choose, it's not correct." Jones stood in the middle of the intersection, looking back and forth at the entrances to the three paths, finally looking at the Minotaur standing against the wall not far away: "Master, you're so clever, you must know which path is right? The road that leads into the ruins must be one of these three."

  "The only road that leads to the human world is safe." Mo Yan, who had been thinking for a while after hearing Jones' words, said: "The other two roads are dangerous, and the one that can lead us to our destination is only the road to death." Mo Yan's conclusion drew attention from others.

  "Why did you come to that conclusion?" Riesz asked. "Although I also think the road to the human world is actually another route leaving, why isn't it the road to heaven that's the destination of the ruins? In many ruins, such a three-forked road is not uncommon, and most of the time the middle road is the correct one."

  "I don't know if my idea is correct, but I think there's some reason to it." Mo Yan expressed his thoughts: "Before we came in, we already knew that this ruin wasn't an ordinary place. Not only was it secretly built into a mountain peak, but the aura leaking from the ruin could drive magical creatures mad. So there must be something evil hidden inside, and this should be a place for imprisoning or storing dangerous items. Death is obviously its alias."

  Mo Yan's words are not unreasonable. If this is a place for storing dangerous goods, then the road to death is most likely the way to the destination. The marked characters may be using people's reverse thinking. If you want to continue moving forward, the vast majority of people will not choose the path leading to death.

  Rui Ze agreed with Mo Yan's words after some thought, and the group walked into the road marked with death. The three characters "Dong Kou" were also the first and last hint they saw. But Mo Yan thought this was normal, if it were really like that, full of riddles and hints everywhere, it would be like guiding adventurers into the ruins!

  The road of death lives up to its name, and on the way, Mo Yan and others encountered all kinds of mechanisms and some unbelievable things. Even in a very wide canyon, they found a transparent floating bridge, and Jones crashed into it while trying to fly over, which made Mo Yan think that maybe they could even find the Holy Grail (Indiana Jones 2).

  Although there were many and complex traps in the ruins, the actual strength of this group was not weak either. Riesz's elemental magic was very useful, some ordinary traps used to deal with humans or other creatures could be made useless by simply freezing them with ice pillars. Regal didn't specialize in traps like Matthew did, but he knew a thing or two as well, which allowed the group to progress at a decent speed even when blocked by traps.

  "This should be the last obstacle." From the winding tunnel, a line of people finally arrived at a huge underground cavern. Standing on the rock wall, Rize looked down at the massive stone labyrinth below, which was as large as a city, and said to the place in the center that emitted intense light.

  Mo Yan and others left the tunnel at a very high cliff. A road leading down that can't be considered a road has been eroded by time and its original appearance can no longer be seen, some places have even fallen off. It's almost impossible to go down from such a road, but fortunately, there is a flying black dragon in the team.

  On the top of the cliff, Mo Yan could see the entire labyrinth. The paths that looked like worms on the cliff were certainly unclear where they were if one was walking among them. The massive black rock walls looked thick and solid, this was the last barrier for those who refused to wake up. It's hard to imagine how much manpower and material resources were used in such a huge project at that time. Those black rocks that made up the labyrinth, Mo Yan had never seen them near Thunder Cliff before.

  Mo Yan originally wanted to mock the creator of the maze, although from the ground it seemed that the walls of the maze were very high and almost impossible to climb or jump over. However, if one were to fly over from the air, it would be easy as can be. But immediately Mo Yan was slapped with a big ear slap by the creator of the ruins. After Qiong transformed into a dragon body and grabbed everyone, they were blocked outside the maze by an invisible wall.

  The invisible wall was like soft foam, which could advance slightly against resistance, but would eventually be blocked. No matter how much force Jones used, he couldn't break through and enter, and even the force Jones used was bounced back, shaking him out of the maze.

  Although this invisible wall has no effect on Mo Yan, Mo Yan can't fly like a dragon. Helplessly, the group could only land in front of the entrance to the maze and plan to break through it in a normal way. Ritz is still very confident in solving the maze, he learned many magic tricks from his adventures in other ruins that can be used to get out of the maze.

  "We need to wait outside the labyrinth for a few days." Riesz said, taking out the materials from her bag and setting up a magic circle on the ground: "This magic I created to explore the labyrinth requires some time to draw out all the paths in the entire labyrinth and find the one that can be walked through."

  "Is it just going to take a few days? That's great." Aruba put the backpack on her shoulder down to the ground, and began preparing to set up camp here to rest. "Just now we saw from the air that this maze is at least three times bigger than the Parliament Building! Even with magical help, I think it'll take ten days or half a month to find a way out."

  "It takes so long." Mo Yan stopped Aruba and Claud, who were about to set up the tent, revealing a row of white teeth as he smiled: "Let's just go in directly. After all, Minotaurs are masters of mazes! I'll lead you through quickly, no need to waste time setting up formations or anything."

  Rize stopped what he was doing when he heard Mo Yan's words, although he didn't know where Mo Yan got the conclusion that the Minotaur were masters of the maze. However, since Rize arrived at Lei Feng Ya, he had never seen Mo Yan do anything wrong, so Rize decided to believe him. After all, in some ruins with magical creatures, the Minotaurs did indeed occupy the majority in the maze.

  After a line of people followed Mo Yan into the maze, the Minotaur took the lead and walked forward without hesitation. When he encountered a fork in the road, he didn't show any signs of hesitation, as if this maze was his own creation. Seeing the Minotaur's performance, everyone had full confidence in him.

  However, they soon discovered that the Minotaur was not familiar with the road or had any mysterious guidance, but was completely wandering around randomly! Except for the initial smoothness, they walked dozens of times on completely impassable roads, and finally even brought everyone back to the entrance!

  "Alright, it seems I don't have any racial talents at all." Mo Yan, who had entered the maze again and reached a dead end, turned around awkwardly to say to Riesz and the others behind him: "I thought that as long as I walked randomly, I would be able to reach the exit of the maze. Looks like I was completely wrong."

  Everyone's face turned gloomy upon hearing Mo Yan's words. It would have been better to set up camp at the entrance and use Rye's magic to explore the entire labyrinth to find a way out! Now, not only has a lot of time been wasted, but it's also unclear where they are now. Wanting to return to the entrance is no longer possible; the good fortune of turning back to the entrance isn't always available.

  "Don't worry!" Oxhead said confidently, raising one finger. "After careful observation, I've come up with a pretty good idea."

  The Minotaur finished speaking and turned his head towards the wall that blocked their path, shaking his sturdy arm, and suddenly accelerated to transform into a residual shadow rushing towards the black stone wall. A fist as big as a cauldron slammed onto it, producing a tremendous sound, and a large amount of thick smoke and shattered stones flew out. The five or six-meter-thick wall was pierced by the Minotaur's single punch!
