Chapter 507 Map Opening

After exchanging the portable map from the Endless Store, Yuan Lao also sent a message to others, explaining that there was a clue to the exit in the store. After more than ten hours, no one sent a message.

Now the information suddenly comes, it should be that important intelligence has been discovered.

"It was sent by Mao Xintong." The source of information can be determined through the talisman paper. After Yuan Lao activated it, the talisman paper lit up with a light and projected an image.

The video was directed at a dead end alley, only a few meters wide, and deep inside it, a group of strangely shaped monsters were marching in formation, but they were not marching along the alley. Their team was moving perpendicularly to the alley, coming out from the right wall and then entering the opposite wall as if nothing had happened.

Passing through the wall? Aren't the walls of the maze impassable? From the looks of it, these monsters seemed like phantoms without substance.

The impact was not over yet. Two or three seconds later, the camera began to move to the left at high speed and soon came to a corner dozens of meters away. Looking from the corner, you can see that the team of ghosts continued to move forward, penetrated the wall, and drilled into the opposite wall without any hindrance.

Finally, the camera changed direction. The wall had no end in sight and it should be impossible to go around it. It was unclear where the team was going.

The scene ends here.

"What kind of monsters are these?" Ma Qiao asked in confusion, "How did they get through the wall? Where is the team going? What are they doing? Why didn't Mao Xintong say a word? Not even an explanation?"

"She shouldn't be able to say it." Old Yuan frowned and said, "Look at her shots, she's obviously a bit sneaky, and there's almost no sound when she moves... Those monsters should be very sensitive to sound, if she makes any sound, she'll get into trouble."

"Then what can you tell just by sending a picture?" Sun Xiaowei pouted.

"These monsters themselves are the problem." Luo Jun touched his chin. "The rules emphasize that walls cannot be passed through, but they were able to pass through in such a lively group. This should be some kind of clue..."

"You mean, the direction these teams are heading in might be the exit?" Sun Xiaowei asked in surprise.

"It may not be the exit, but it must be a special place." Luo Jun shook his head: "And it may not be the direction they are heading in, it may also be the direction they are coming from..."

Sun Xiaowei shook her head. "But the problem is that everything in the maze looks the same. Just by looking at this video, we can't tell their exact location, let alone the direction they are heading."

"Direction?" Luo Jun frowned, remembering that he had seen an absolute compass in the brochure of the Endless Shop. Such a small item cost more than 2,000 yuan. Luo Jun didn't see any use for it, so he didn't consider exchanging it. Now that he saw it, the ability to indicate direction in a maze was also very important. No wonder it was sold at such a high price.

"Anyway, this is also a clue." Yuan Lao clapped his hands: "If you encounter a similar situation, you can consider investigating it. Now let's continue exploring."

Several people nodded and were about to leave when Luo Jun's ears suddenly moved: "Wait, there is something ahead."

"Huh?" Everyone became alert after hearing this and picked up their weapons and were on guard. After a while, they finally heard a rustling sound coming from the front. Looking up, they saw a thin humanoid figure walking out from the depths of the maze.

The maze was about five or six meters high, and the figure's head was against the ceiling, even tilted.

Although it has a human-like body structure, it is grayish white, with no hair or wrinkles, and is smooth, like a game model without texture maps. This thing may seem funny in the game, but seeing it in real life, in such a dark maze, is really scary.

"What monster?" Ma Qiao snorted coldly, picked up a shotgun, and fired at the ghost. With two bangs, the bullets made more than ten dents on the ghost's smooth skin, but soon the dents flattened out, pushing the bullets out.

"Shooting is ineffective?" Ma Qiao was stunned. Sun Xiaowei on the side put her hands together and transformed into a robot as tall as a person. Her hands transformed into the structure of a chainsaw and rushed towards the monster.

The monster seemed not to see the robot and walked forward on its own. The electric saws on the robot's hands turned at high speed and cut at the monster's thigh!
Hiss, hiss!

A huge cutting sound was heard, and the monster's legs were twisted and deformed by the sharp saw blade, stretched and entangled in the shaft until the machine got stuck and finally stopped.

Looking at the monster again, it seemed as if it was unaware of the attack and continued to move forward slowly. The cutting robot was entangled by the flesh on its legs and could not get free, so it was hung on the monster's legs and dragged forward all the way.

"So difficult to deal with?" Everyone was stunned.

"This kind of soft structure that can be stretched at will is extremely resistant to physical attacks." Yuan Lao frowned: "You retreat!"

The three of them immediately retreated behind Old Yuan, only to see him putting on the Bagua Brass Knuckles and colliding his fists. A thick column of fire gushed out, filling the entire corridor in front of him and instantly engulfing the monster!

The raging flames lasted for more than ten seconds, roasting the cheeks of several people behind him. The temperature in the corridor rose sharply, far exceeding that in a sauna.

Feeling that it was about time, Old Yuan finally removed the pillar of fire. In the middle of the corridor filled with heat waves, the tall and thin human was charred and smoking, and the robot wrapped around his thigh had disappeared.

But the monster seemed to want to keep moving forward. He took another step forward with a stiff step. However, as soon as he moved, his ankle could not bear the weight and broke. His tall body fell down with a loud bang, and fell into pieces.

"I thought it was a very powerful monster..." Ma Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as we find its weakness, it won't be that difficult to deal with."

"It's not that simple!" Luo Jun frowned and said, "The strength of Yuan Lao's attack just now was quite high. As an elementalist, I can feel that the strength is far beyond that of all the elementalists I have ever seen!"

Luo Jun's words were half true and half false. Although he was not an elementalist, he had experienced the power of the Bagua Tiger Finger. Even if Yuan Lao did not use his full strength in the maze, the fact that this monster had survived for so long and still retained its human form was enough to show its strength!

"Hey, look, what is that?" Sun Xiaowei suddenly pointed at the monster's smashed body, from which a faint golden light was emitted.

"It looks like a treasure..." Ma Qiao was about to step forward, but was stopped by Yuan Lao: "This is an endless maze, be careful. Xiaowei, use your ability to go up and take a look."

Sun Xiaowei nodded, controlled her mechanical spider Xiao Hei to move forward, peeled off the charred body of the monster, and picked out a...gold ingot?

"What is this?" After confirming that there was no danger, several people took the gold ingots to study them.

"Remember what the merchant said, you can get currency by killing monsters." Luo Jun analyzed: "Could this be it?"

"Isn't it banknotes?" Sun Xiaowei asked curiously.

"Maybe we can exchange it with this, let's put it away first." As he said that, Luo Jun put the gold ingots into the equipment bag, and the few of them continued to move forward along the maze.

I have to say that the experience of this maze is different from any mission Luo Jun has ever experienced. Other missions are like a sword pointing at you from behind, forcing you to keep moving forward and complete the mission in a race against time.

But the rhythm of this maze is so weird. When I first saw the introduction, I thought it would be a process of being constantly harassed by various traps and monsters. As a result, most of the time in the maze, apart from various forks and stairs, there was basically nothing to encounter...

But the key is that everyone knows that this is a chaos mission, and it is an extremely difficult mission that no one has ever cleared. If the monsters really rush up one after another, it is dangerous, but at least it makes people feel at ease. Going forward all the time, not even seeing a ghost, makes people uneasy and more likely to have wild thoughts. Especially the relatively weak Ma Qiao and Xiao Wei, they are even more nervous all the way. As for Luo Jun, he is now very confident in his strength, but the problem is that he followed because there is a high probability that Yuan Lao will die in this mission. Although he is not very worried about his own safety, he always pays attention to Yuan Lao, fearing that he will ignore any dangerous factors. He is the most worried among the few people.

In this state of anxiety, the group walked for another ten hours. More than thirty hours, almost a day and a half, had passed since they entered the maze.

However, Luo Jun's Tianji dice had not been refreshed, which meant that not even three hours had passed in the outside world...

But only he knows this and he can't tell it to others.

In a relatively spacious room, the group ate some more food. Almost one third of the ten-day supply was consumed. This was because everyone was worried about not being able to find a new supply point, so they were more frugal. Secondly, there was no fighting along the way, they were just rushing along. For cultivators, the physical energy consumption was quite low, and they really didn't need to eat much.

"When will this end..." Ma Qiao complained, "If it were you, I'd open the map and see what's nearby. It would also help us get more information."

"We can open the map..." After such a long time, Luo Jun was a little annoyed. "But based on previous experience, there may not be any encounter points within this kilometer range... After we open it, we need to move as fast as possible to make the map cover a larger area as possible."

"That's no problem!" As a fighter, Ma Qiao was very confident in his speed: "Even if you are an elementalist, can you keep up with us?"

"That's easy." Luo Jun said with a smile, "I'll lead the charge with the map, and you just follow me."

"No problem." Ma Qiao and Sun Xiaowei both subconsciously regarded Luo Jun as the one with the lowest cultivation level. They did not take him seriously at all and agreed readily. Only Old Yuan smiled and said nothing.

After a simple stretch, Luo Jun took out the map he carried with him: "Are you ready?"

"Okay!" Ma Qiao replied confidently.

"Okay!" Luo Jun nodded and activated the map. A spherical three-dimensional projection suddenly appeared in front of it, depicting an intricate maze structure. A light spot in the center represented the location of the map.

A few people took a quick look and found that there was no special place within a radius of one kilometer.

Sure enough, the maze was much larger and more spacious than Luo Jun had imagined.

"Charge!" Luo Jun gave the order and ran out first.

"Wow, you're pretty fast!" Seeing Luo Jun sprinting like a cheetah, Ma Qiao praised him and followed closely. Yuan Lao followed closely behind. Although he was old, his cultivation made him the best in the entire cultivation world. It was no problem for him to keep up with Luo Jun who was slacking off.

Sun Xiaowei, on the other hand, was not known for her physical strength, and she felt that she could not keep up when she ran. However, she also had a way, and she used her ability to transform into a bicycle and rode it to catch up with the others.

The structure of a bicycle is relatively simple, and it is not difficult for Sun Xiaowei, who is good at simulating mechanical bodies, to make one. Even though her physical fitness is a little poor, she is still a cultivator after all. The road in this maze is flat, without even a slope, and she can pedal the bicycle very fast, so she can barely keep up with others.

As they were running, they suddenly discovered a special mark on the 3D map in front of Luo Jun!

"There's something!" Ma Qiao reminded, "Stop and take a look!"

"That's a monster, there's no point stopping..." Luo Jun said without turning his head.

"You can kill monsters and exchange them for money!"

"Okay, but it's not worth wasting time!" Luo Jun said, "I'll write it down and come back to find it after it's over!"

"Remember... remember?" Ma Qiao said in disbelief: "Such a complicated maze, do you think you are a computer..."

Unexpectedly, when Luo Jun raised his hand, a small camera appeared.

"Although it is only an ordinary-grade treasure, it has unlimited power, can take photos and record videos, and the images are clear and reliable. The only drawback is that when traveling through worlds, the information recorded in the previous world will be deleted."

"Is there such a thing?" The three were stunned, but since they had a record, there was no point in wasting precious time on a monster. They could only follow Luo Jun and continue running wildly.

The spherical map kept refreshing, and soon, encounter points appeared on the screen one after another, with monsters, mechanisms, relics and shops.

There were more encounter points than Luo Jun had imagined, but if one ran around aimlessly in the maze without instructions, one would most likely pass over them head or foot and not notice them at all.

The five thousand dollars was well spent!

As time passed, the camera recorded one location after another. Luo Jun was happy, but Ma Qiao behind him was a little overwhelmed.

Although Luo Jun's speed was not Ma Qiao's limit, it was not something he could maintain for a long time. He could run for ten or twenty minutes straight and still maintain his speed, but if it lasted any longer, he would feel a little tired.

But as a fighter, he was embarrassed to mention slowing down. At first, he thought that he would have a reason to slow down when Luo Jun slowed down himself, or even took out a means of transportation. But he didn't expect that Luo Jun, an elementalist, could maintain such a high speed without even breathing, and ran for more than half an hour?

What kind of physical strength is this?

At this moment, he suddenly heard a panting sound. Ma Qiao turned around and saw Sun Xiaowei pedaling the bicycle with great effort, her forehead was already covered with sweat...

Ma Qiao's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted, "Let's slow down, the little girl can't hold on any longer..."

After hearing this, Luo Jun looked back and found that Sun Xiaowei was indeed tired. This girl's foundation was not solid to begin with, and she was not a fighter. It was indeed difficult for him to keep up with this speed.

"Then let's..." Luo Jun was about to suggest slowing down, but Sun Xiaowei suddenly glared at him, "No, you can't let me hold everyone back!"

As she spoke, she circulated her vital energy and the bicycle under her crotch began to deform. In just a few seconds, it turned into an electric bike. Now she didn't need to pedal anymore. She just twisted her little hands and kept up swiftly.

"Good job, senior sister!" Luo Jun praised her and threw the energy storage spirit stone to help Sun Xiaowei replenish her consumed vitality. Xiaowei took a sip and her face became rosier. She sped up and kept pace with Luo Jun, leaving Ma Qiao alone to fight the wolf at the end of the team...

"Sister...how about changing one for me?"

"You don't need an electric one, a bicycle will do..."
