It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 680 Return Scroll
If the labyrinth spaces hadn't overlapped, the two labyrinth masters would never have met.

Chaos, shrouded in thick fog, charged towards the mountain demon, who turned and unleashed a powerful punch! The fog instantly dissipated!

Enraged, the mountain demon caught up with the thick fog and delivered two more heavy punches! The fists, made of giant rock, slammed into the ground with a dull thud! The earth trembled!

Lin Pengpeng was terrified by what she saw. She dared not imagine what would have happened to her and Pei Xianjue if she had been a little slower in digging.
Aside from Ling Feiran who managed to escape, everyone else would probably be torn to pieces!
Pei Xianjue was traumatized by the mountain demon's hammer blows, and quickly got up, saying, "We need to get out of here quickly! Be careful, the ground might crack!"

The mountain demon's attacks are extremely fierce and have a wide range. It can not only smash the ground and create cracks, but also shatter rocks and destroy all obstacles!

Even the flying debris from the mountain demon's charge could kill or seriously injure anyone who hit it, so Pei Xianjue couldn't help but be on edge.

Everyone was running wildly through the fog!
Behind him, two monsters darted left and right, sometimes near, sometimes far, each attack of the mountain demon raising massive amounts of dust and flying rocks! And wherever Chaos passed, the dense fog would surely weaken all living things!
Everyone is suffering terribly!

Huangfu Miaomiao fell to the ground, her mouth full of dirt, and couldn't help but cry out, "Where are you all?! I can't see anything!"

Pei Xianjue grabbed Huangfu Miaomiao's arm and looked around, but couldn't find Ling Feiran. Only when the thick fog around them dissipated slightly did they discover that Ling Feiran was lagging behind and treating Pashan.

Pei Xianjue said anxiously, "Never mind him! We'll die if we don't leave here soon!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Pengpeng looked at Pei Xianjue, biting her lower lip and remaining silent.

Ling Feiran's treatment ended quickly, and Pashan, fully recovered, dashed off like a hyena! He ran faster than anyone else!

However, no matter how fast humans run, it's just a step away for the mountain demon. Suddenly, the mountain demon took a step, its huge foot passing over everyone's heads, and its heavy fist slammed directly in front of Pashan!

boom! ! ! ! !
With that deafening roar, Pashan was sent flying! His body was tossed into the air as he screamed in terror, instinctively activating the second form of the Hundred-Armed Giant!
However, he had only recently recovered and did not have enough energy in his body, so his energy was completely depleted in just two seconds after he transformed, and he turned back into human form the moment he touched the ground!
Ling Feiran rushed forward to check and found that Pashan was not injured except for bleeding from his mouth and nose.

It seems that although the second form lasted only briefly, it still saved Pashan's life.

Pei Xianjue pulled the disheveled Huangfu Miaomiao to her feet, shouting as they ran, "We can't go any further! Run this way—"

Lin Pengpeng took the initiative to run to Pashan's side and, together with Ling Feiran, helped him up.

Everyone is affected by the dense fog, with varying degrees of weakness.

Ling Feiran used her healing spell again to remove the effects of weakness, but she had a bad feeling about it.

If she cannot escape soon, her energy will probably be exhausted like Pashan's.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. The group ran frantically into the distance, trying to get away from the battlefield between the mountain demon and Chaos.

Everyone ran and stumbled along until the ground tremors subsided, at which point they dared to stop and catch their breath.

Pei Xianjue felt as if her lungs were filled with sand, and each breath was painful. She turned to look at the mountain demon in the distance. The towering giant had collapsed completely, like a stone mountain, blocking their way back.

"Did the Mountain Demon lose?" Pei Xianjue asked, panting heavily.

“No, not dead,” Huangfu Miaomiao gasped, “It seems to have entered a dormant state.”

Ling Feiran said, "The mountain demon's energy is insufficient, and the mountain louse needs to collect raw materials from the outside to replenish its energy, but Chaos is guarding outside, so the mountain louse dares not come out."

“We saw Chaos get injured by the mountain demon at the altar before, so why is the mountain demon no match for Chaos now?” Lin Pengpeng asked, puzzled. “The mountain demon’s attacks have all missed Chaos.”

"I know... Damn it! It's a game bug!" Pei Xianjue suddenly cursed.

Everyone looked at Pei Xianjue. Pei Xianjue grabbed her hair violently, losing all composure due to tension and panic. "Because of the Radiant Altar, the holy light emanating from the remains within it allowed Chaos to materialize, which is why the Mountain Demon was able to severely injure Chaos! But now, Chaos is just a cloud of mist! No matter how many times the Mountain Demon attacks, it's all in vain. There's no altar here, no holy light; Chaos is invincible!"

“We are in a dangerous situation.” Ling Feiran’s gaze swept across everyone’s face as she spoke frankly, “My ghost form can make me immune to the fog, but if you are frequently injured or weakened, my card abilities will not be enough to heal all of you. So I hope that from now on, everyone will try their best not to get hurt.”

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Miaomiao turned pale and hurriedly exchanged for many small bags of jelly, handing them to Ling Feiran, "Here are some energy recovery pills for you! They're all yours!"

These things were a drop in the ocean for Ling Feiran.

Huangfu Miaomiao also knew that restoring physical strength only helped the cards restore their energy, but could not replace energy.

Ling Feiran asked Huangfu Miaomiao earnestly, "Are there any higher-level items in the game store? Like potions that can restore card energy?"

Huangfu Miaomiao replied with a long face, "Those kinds of potions are sold for a limited time and in limited quantities. They are basically sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves. It is impossible to get one."

"Then is there any defensive shield? Or a return scroll or something like that?" Ling Feiran asked again.

She had never played games, only occasionally hearing some game terms from Feng Shao.

Huangfu Miaomiao shook her head, "There's no defensive shield, and no return scroll, but there are similar items called teleportation arrays, and they're extremely expensive!!!"

The word "expensive" does not exist in Pei Xianjue's dictionary.

"Hurry up and buy it!" Pei Xianjue urged.

"It's useless to buy it!" Huangfu Miaomiao was exasperated. "Teleportation arrays can't be set up in mazes! That's a game rule!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Pengpeng exclaimed, "It's coming this way!!!"

With the mountain demons going into hibernation and disengaging from combat, Chaos's target naturally shifted to the living people, which is equivalent to a transfer of aggro in the game.

There was no time to run; the master of the labyrinth was rapidly approaching, and the thin fog around them was quickly thickening.

Everyone held their breath. The moment the thick fog arrived, Ling Feiran raised her hands and released the healing light to its maximum!
My vision turned into a white blur!

The thick fog dissipated in the white light, and Chaos flew over everyone's heads, roaring as if his hair had been singed!

It turned around, its whole body shrouded in black mist, and its six red eyes glared angrily at Ling Feiran.

The white light contracted inch by inch, and Ling Feiran couldn't hold on for much longer.

Pei Xianjue felt that she was really about to die this time.

“Ling Feiran, you should escape on your own…” Pei Xianjue said with difficulty. “Don’t worry about us. If you’re alone, you should be able to get through the fog and return to the quarantine zone.”

Pashan was so frightened that he shrank back to Ling Feiran, not daring to be exposed outside the range of the white light.

Ling Feiran glanced at Pashan, then at Pei Xianjue, Lin Pengpeng, and Huangfu Miaomiao; she still didn't want to give up.

"Miaomiao, let's try setting up a teleportation array. The place we are in now may not necessarily be part of the maze; it might just be a place contaminated by the maze," Ling Feiran said.

　Almost... um, tomorrow, definitely...
