Chapter 693 The Attack of the Grim Reaper

The seventh lava zone is a giant lava cave with a complex network of pathways.

Olsie accidentally kicked a rock off the cliff. The rock rolled into the smoking lava and bubbled up. The sight made her teeth chatter; what if she accidentally fell in...

"Cha Bai, can you take a bath in lava?"

"untested."

"Want to try it? I'll take a picture for you."

"Forget it, the repair cost is too high."

What Xiao Wu and Cha Bai were talking about made Olise even more afraid. She now understood that the most terrifying thing in the entire maze was these people in front of her.

Li Nuo was choosing a campsite. It was hard to imagine what it would be like to camp in a lava field, but he actually found a unique oasis inside the cave.

The oasis was small, located at a fork in the road in the first half of the cave, and was hard to find. There was fresh water and some edible rabbits, as well as the lingering scent of Adam Ireland. It was by following Adam's scent that Lino found this place. He squatted on the gravel, pinching the gravel between his fingertips and crushing it hard, as if he were crushing Adam.

"That's it."

Li Nuo dusted himself off and stood up.

"Let's stay here for a few days."

Olsie quickly stopped her: "Slacking off will be punished in the maze..."

"I have a doubt."

Xiao Wu interrupted Olise, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes scanning the surroundings, looking at the red smoke at the top of the lava cave with a puzzled expression.

"What's the structure of this great labyrinth?"

As you walk through the maze, you'll see that the connections between the different levels aren't portals to another world, but real elevators. The exact time of their appearance is unknown, but the maze is actually larger than you can imagine. The sixth level alone is comparable to a large metropolis, and the lava cave on the seventh level is even smaller than a small country.

That's not the problem. The problem is, it doesn't look like a normal maze or dungeon at all.

Olsie shook her head.

"No... We've never heard of any records of the labyrinth's past since we started growing up."

"And what about the surface world?"

Xiao Wu is used to being a lone wolf and has an extremely obsessive desire to collect intelligence. The prerequisite for being a one-woman army is that she has mastered all the intelligence.

"We...can't get out of the maze."

Ollie bit her lip in frustration.

She longed to leave the labyrinth and see the wider world, to venture out and adventure. But those born in the labyrinth were bound by a curse; they didn't even have the right to go to the first floor. The natives would be automatically teleported back once they reached the first floor's main hall.

"Tell us more interesting stories; we just need to kill time."

Killing time is a way to passively slack off and invite death.

In order to bring about the appearance of Death, they didn't even think about what to do next. If players also had professional and amateur levels, the people here would all be at the mentor level.

They set up campfires and tents around the oasis.

"So... what should we do now? Rest?"

Olsie looked at them, puzzled.

"No, wait for Death."

Cha Bai said with a cold face.

"Hey...you guys aren't serious, are you? The Grim Reaper...that's a reaper that only exists in labyrinth legends, and he'll take down any lazy creature."

"No kidding."

As Cha Bai spoke, he gouged out an eyeball and pressed the eyeball that could see the Grim Reaper back into its socket.

Ollie almost fainted when she saw this scene.

At this moment, Xiao Wu asked Li Nuo for some soap made of alchemy and invited Olise: "Want to take a bath? There's an oasis here."

Ollie glanced warily at Li Nuo, indicating that there was a man there.

Xiao Wu shrugged: "It's okay, he's only interested in robots."

Robots...

Olise suddenly realized that Cha Bai could gouge out eyeballs, so this woman was actually a robot... Just as she was about to ask her in a low voice about the truth, Xiao Wu took off her head to wash her hair, a scene that completely terrified Olise.

When Olise woke up, it was eight hours later.

"What... has Death not come yet...?"

Her words indicated that Ollie's mind had been slightly corrupted by Li Nuo and the others. "Shh..."

Cha Bai gestured for her to be quiet.

Why do we need to find Death?

It's quite simple. As an important mechanic monster in the dungeon and a key element in its construction, the Reaper's reward should be quite good.

Li Nuo sat on the folding stool, and the flame in his palm turned green.

"coming."

The voice just fell.

The fiery red surroundings were suddenly overwhelmed by darkness. Olsie tightened her mouth. She knew death was coming, but surprisingly, she didn't feel that bone-chilling cold. She herself didn't even realize that her experience on the sixth floor had gradually made her numb to fear.

The oppressive feeling brought by death is nothing compared to that of an orphan.

Cha Bai turned her head to the side, and only she, with her implanted eyeballs, could see the Grim Reaper. It was a skeleton draped in a black cloak, floating in mid-air, holding a ghostly blue lantern in its left hand and a rough scythe in its right.

Death glanced at Cha Bai, and because of the presence of his eyeballs, he judged Cha Bai to be "one of his own kind." So, by sheer coincidence, Cha Bai chose to stand behind Xiao Wu.

A bang.

Xiao Wu's head suddenly fell to the ground. She happily picked it up and put it back on.

Death paused for a moment, first glancing at the scythe in his hand, then carefully examining Xiao Wu, whose skeletal eye sockets glowed with a sense of confusion.

Cha Bai pointed at Li Nuo.

It means, kill that guy.

And so Death came to Li Nuo's back.

five minutes later.

Li Nuo threw the skull of Death into the alchemical cauldron.

"So weak..."

"It's clearly because your [Cross Holy Radiance] counters it."

Xiao Wu complained from the side, holding the Grim Reaper's rough scythe in her hand.

The scythe has an "instant death" trigger effect, but it can only be triggered if the race is "Undead".

Death's head was thrashing around in the pot.

"Don't worry."

Li Nuo examined the guy's data.

"I want to see what you're capable of. If you're too weak, we'll eat you up."

Death, who has lived for hundreds of years, is facing the danger of being eaten for the first time. But there is no way for it to escape. Under the persecution of Li Nuo's [Shadow Step], no creature can escape from its side.

The Reaper of the Labyrinth

Danger Level: B~S

[Attribute: Fighting, Dark]

Because the mask was broken before, and it was repaired with [Repair Powder] but its performance has not been fully restored, the content described is very disorganized.

The mechanism of Death can be roughly understood in this way.

This guy comes from another world.

Upon entering the maze, they were also cursed, "to urge lazy fellows to work, for those who do not work will only waste food."

Death's thinking is rather extreme; it believes that so-called supervision means executing those who don't work.

Thus, the "passive resistance" mechanism of the Great Maze came into being.

Death is an assassin and is extremely weak to the Light type. In Pokémon, he is four times weaker to Fairy.

In terms of actual combat strength, it's not even comparable to the Night Dragon, let alone the Beast King.

But Death has the ability to become a captured Pokémon.

This thing... it knows the locations of all the hidden treasure chests and hidden storylines. That's not the most special thing, since you can find the answers by exploring more. What's the most special thing is... the way to open the treasure chests... actually has a hidden mechanism.

Some treasure chests contain different types of items depending on how they are opened.
