Chapter 106 Maze Rampage
"What?" Lin Xin'er asked hurriedly.

"If I'm not mistaken, there's only one trigger condition, but there are two solutions."

Wang Xi didn't keep them in suspense and sped up his speech.

According to Bai Qimeng, the Puss in Boots dungeon, also known as the Ace of Spades, is a relatively new dungeon, less than two years old. Neither the Overlook Bureau nor the Hero Association has yet fully gathered information about its various scenes.

Even in the database of the Professional Courage Association, there is no record of any "maze runaway" incident related to scene number 014, "Circus".

In other words, this is a new discovery.

"The trigger condition should be to kill any demon king in a very short time. The exact time is unknown, but it will most likely not exceed five minutes."

Wang Xidao.

The reason for this is that the Demon Cat Boots didn't last five minutes in their hands.

"The three theater levels are mostly adjacent in a triangular shape... The first solution is to send three teams of heroes into each of the three levels at the same time. After one team quickly defeats the Demon King and triggers 'Maze Rampage,' the other two teams will successively defeat the Demon King."

"The second solution is to use the Demon King to destroy the scene, open up the three theaters, and kill them one by one."

As he spoke, he glanced back at the Rabbit-faced Rider, who was locked in a fierce battle with the magician, and added:
"Our current situation is suitable for the second solution... but whether it will work or not, we'll only know after we try it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xin'er looked surprised.

It seemed that they hadn't expected the other party to be so perceptive, able to deduce the pattern of the "maze rampage" in such a short time based solely on the information they relayed.

"I agree with your speculation."

She nodded.

“But we don’t necessarily have to fight to the death here. We can leave directly from the Iron Cage Theater on the 'Long Boots and Musketeers' side.”

"Although it might sound a bit cold-hearted to say that."

Wang Xi glanced at Liu Wenjie and the seriously injured and unconscious man and woman, shook his head, and said to Lin Xin'er:
"But your boss's motto probably doesn't include the word 'admit defeat.' Do you think she'd be willing to just slink away like that?"

"..."

Lin Xin'er fell silent.

"Miss Xin'er is in charge of taking good care of them."

Wang Xi thought for a moment and then sighed.

"I'll resolve the 'maze rampage' as soon as possible so everyone can leave sooner."

"Ok?"

Lin Xin'er was taken aback.

Even Liu Wenjie, who was sitting to the side, looked up in a daze, thinking he had misheard.

He knew Liu Shen was very strong, but wasn't it too arrogant to say that, as if he didn't take the "Maze Rampage" incident seriously at all?

However, Wang Xi didn't say anything more. He picked up the decapitation sword, turned around, and ran towards the battlefield.

He just left.

"Viewer 'Sony's Machine' has tipped 10000 credits! Note: Streamer, cheer up!"

"A viewer 'Introverted People Never Use Peripherals' has tipped 5000 credits! Note: Pick up your phone now! I'm about to die of anxiety!"

"Viewer 'Lie Down and I'm C' has donated 5000 credits! Note: We're with you! You must survive!"

A smart announcement sounded, accompanied by a buzzing vibration.

Liu Wenjie picked up the phone and looked at it.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

His popularity had soared to over 300,000 views without him even realizing it. This was clearly because his encounter with Wang Xi and Lin Xin'er during his maze adventure had been spread, attracting a large number of onlookers.

"Liu Shen's analysis is very insightful."

"The streamer was really unlucky. He'd explored the 'Puss in Boots' maze several times already, but this time he just happened to stumble upon the 'circus' scene and even encountered a 'maze rampage' event."

"It's not bad luck."

"Meeting Xi'er and Xin'er is lucky; at least the streamer survived."

"Idiot streamer."

Liu Wenjie's eyes reddened as he looked at the comments on the screen.

It was indeed his greed and negligence that nearly led to the team's annihilation. He regretted taking such a risk for the sake of views. If he had waited a little longer and teamed up with other brave adventurers, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Seeing the urging comments on the screen, Liu Wenjie took a deep breath. Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to raise his phone and point the camera at the theater—

...

...

"Miss Bai! Move closer to me!"

Bai Qimeng, who was riding the Storm Rabbit motorcycle and dealing with the magician, suddenly heard a call.

She turned her head and saw that Wang Xi had somehow run onto the theater stage and was standing under the spotlight.

"what the hell?"

Bai Qimeng muttered something.

But she still chose to believe Wang Xi.

He turned the handlebars around and twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle spun gracefully in place before soaring into the air towards the stage.

Just then.

The magician once again interlaced his fingers and clasped his hands together, striking a golf-playing pose.

The instant his mouth opened, Wang Xi dodged to the side and warned him:
"The Demon King is unleashing his ultimate attack! Dodge!"

Bai Qimeng responded directly with action, and as soon as she landed on the stage on her motorcycle, she drifted ninety degrees and sped off to the right.

A massive gust of air suddenly swung and passed between Wang Xi and Bai Qimeng, hitting the curtain wall at the back of the stage.

Boom! !

After a loud bang, smoke, wood chips, and stones flew everywhere, and a large hole was blasted into the entire curtain wall.

squeak--

Bai Qimeng swerved to the side, stopping at the edge of the stage. Looking at the large hole, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"They even connected the third theater?!"

Through her veiled vision, she saw a dozen or so monkeys riding unicycles, carrying Molotov cocktails, rushing towards her.

The monkeys all wore stiff, sinister smiles, their eyes gleaming crimson.

"γ Special Type Doll (Darkened) · Juggling Monkey (Nemesis/Three Stars)"

Wang Xi saw a series of red entries.

He also discovered that one of the monkeys was extremely special. Its appearance was identical to its companions, but its description was covered in silver patterns. "Maze Demon King - Gamma-type Wire-controlled Puppet - Juggling Monkey Main Body (Nemesis/Four-Star/Hero)"

"We killed the Demon Cat too quickly and accidentally triggered the 'Maze Rampage' event. I suspect that we can only clear the game by clearing all three theaters and killing all the Demon Cats."

Wang Xi explained succinctly.

"Huh?" Bai Qimeng was surprised, but she reacted quickly and immediately understood Wang Xi's meaning. "You're really something! You figured out the pattern so fast!"

"So how do you want to play?"

“Division of labor.” Wang Xi glanced at the troop of robotic monkeys rushing out of the dust and rapidly approaching, and quickened his pace: “The monkeys are yours, I’ll take care of the magician.”

"Alright!" Bai Qimeng twisted the throttle, the motorcycle roared, and flames shot out of the exhaust pipe. "Hey! Let's see who finishes off the opponent first. The loser calls me daddy."

"Childish ghost..."

Wang Xi rolled her eyes.

He carried the decapitation sword, jumped off the stage without looking back, and rushed towards the magician.

With the stage in Bai Qimeng's hands, there's no need to worry.

Looks like I'll have to show some real skill...

Wang Xi said inwardly.

He raised his hand, and water gushed from his palm.

It swung forward while running.

Boo hoo hoo hoo——

Four sharp, slender water arrows shot out and flew towards the magician. The latter grinned and, using the same trick as before, produced a round mirror.

Dang Dang Dang!
However, the three water arrows bounced back, but the last one suddenly stopped in front of the round mirror and burst into a water curtain, soaking the magician.

Hawke's smile froze as he was shocked to find that the water on his body had solidified and hardened like wax, reflecting a deep blue luster and severely restricting his movements.

Wang Xi kept walking.

He calmly watched the three water arrows fly back, then simply held his decapitation sword horizontally and assumed a fighting stance.

—The Secret Teachings of the Gladiolus School

Suddenly, Wang Xi's sword began to shake rapidly.

In an instant, it seemed as if three sword lights appeared simultaneously, blooming like the petals of a gladiolus.

Ding!Ding!Ding!
Three perfect parries.

Water splashed everywhere, but not a single drop landed on me.

The sword in Wang Xi's hand seemed to be accumulating some kind of power, emitting a hazy, faint light.

"To see through it."

He muttered something and, from seven steps away from the magician, swung his sword through the air.

bass--

With difficulty, Demon King Hawke raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Flames erupted from beneath his feet, and an extremely fast arc of sword wind swept past his neck.

Bang!
The flames flickered.

The magician vanished from the spot.

But then there was a thud.

A head fell to the ground.

The face beneath the top hat still bore the expression of shock before death, with its mouth slightly open.

Dozens of meters away from Wang Xi, a ball of flame suddenly ignited, and a headless corpse fell to the ground from within it.

Death flashes...

The magician performed a spectacular "flying corpse magic trick" based on his personal experience.

The performance was a great success.

But he really died.

Liu Wenjie, Lin Xiner, and the more than 300,000 netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but applaud.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, I just came in and saw Liu Shen killing the monsters in the maze."

"That's the Demon King! The rampaging Demon King!!"

"What the hell is this little monster?"

"what?"

Liu Wenjie's attention wasn't on his phone at all; he was just staring blankly at the black-haired youth standing straight in the distance.

That figure exuded an unfathomable aura.

"..."

Lin Xin'er gazed at him silently.

She had felt a strong sense of defeat when she fought the Demon Cat. But now, after witnessing Wang Xi instantly kill the berserk Demon King, her initial competitive spirit vanished.

Wang Xi has already left her far behind.

The disparity was so great that it filled her with despair.

genius……

This is true genius!

So what kind of genius is he, who is packaged by conglomerates, praised by the media, appears on the giant advertising screen of buildings, and is surrounded by flashing lights, as well as Carlyle and Nagata An, who are also rising stars of conglomerates...?
Wang Xi had no idea about any of this.

Without even glancing at the magician's corpse, he grabbed his sword and headed to the battlefield.

now.

Bai Qimeng was riding a motorcycle with one hand and holding a pink pistol in the other, constantly firing at the troop of robotic monkeys chasing behind her.

With a constant beeping sound, a rain of crimson lasers pierced through monkey after monkey, knocking them off the unicycle.

The monkeys, riding wheelbarrows, couldn't catch up with the will-o'-the-wisp no matter what they did, and they squeaked in frustration.

They tried to throw Molotov cocktails at Bai Qimeng, but they couldn't reach her and ended up burning their companions instead.

"A bunch of baboons! Eat your exhaust fumes!"

Bai Qimeng laughed wildly.
