I'm tied to Athena.

An assassin holding a huge sword pierced her wind and went for her throat!

Ais dodged hurriedly, but her hard body could not completely avoid the opponent's attack, and eventually a scar appeared on her arm.

Once there is a wound, there will be a second one. Scars gradually appeared on Ai Si's body. Just when she could no longer defend herself and knelt on the ground, a big assassin raised his spear and struck her with a fatal blow.

"This won't work, Aisi!" The blood-stained sickle blocked the spear's path. Li Yun dealt with the enemy on the opposite side as quickly as possible and rushed to the rescue!

"No...the curse will..." Ai Si raised her hand hurriedly. These men in black were cursed. As long as you touch them, you will be cursed. Even if you don't come into contact with them, the men in black next to you will use negative magic to inflict a debuff on you.

"Curse? This thing is useless to me!" Li Yun, who possesses the Gorgon Stone, has the blessing of the Skill Goddess. This blessing makes him immune to the influence of negative magic. Unless his hands and feet are broken, he can always exert his full strength.

With the blessing given by Athena, Li Yun completely slaughtered the men in black here.

He won't attack humans, but if no one here is human, then it doesn't matter.

Yes, these guys here are all weird!

"What a warm and cordial greeting!" However, after killing all the monsters, Li Yun and Ai Si had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, because more enemies came!

"Poisonous demon maggots!"

A small hole appeared in the ceiling above Li Yun and the others at some point, and from the hole, densely packed worm monsters and poisonous maggots fell out!

The other party had planned this long ago. They deliberately cast a curse to weaken Ais's wind power, and then used a large number of poisonous maggots to block one of their routes, forcing them to escape.

The main means of attack of the poisonous demon maggots is poison. As long as you are exposed to the poison of the poisonous demon maggots, you will definitely fall into a state of poisoning. There is no panacea or special medicine that can cure it.

Originally, the poisonous maggots were easily restrained by Ai Si's wind magic, but in Ai Si's current state, she couldn't cast very strong wind magic.

"Aisi, hold me tight and recover at the same time!" Li Yun used his black energy to condense a rope and tied Aisi to his back, while taking out a bottle of recovery medicine.

"Sorry..." The blonde swordsman lowered her head. Not only did she not accomplish anything, but now she has become a burden to him...

"It's okay, you just need to remember this grudge... When we find their lair, return it to them double!" After comforting Ai Si, Li Yun was about to take action.

"Although I don't want to follow the other party's plan, it seems that I have no choice but to run forward!" Li Yun looked back at the densely packed poisonous maggots that were swarming from the ceiling, walls, and ground like a wave of ants, and ran forward decisively.

Li Yun ran as fast as he could, and was able to shake off the poisonous maggots. However, there seemed to be only one way left in front of him... as if this passage was deliberately given!

Sure enough, this maze can be changed... Daedalus took into account that the dungeon is alive, so he transformed his own maze into a shape that can be changed freely.

For example, shift the wall so that only one path forward remains...

There must be something dangerous ahead... Li Yun was alert to the crisis ahead and at the same time, ran into the enemy's trap!

"Hey, hey...Aren't there wolves in front and tigers behind?" Li Yun stopped and a trickle of sweat ran down his forehead.

The passage in front of us doesn't seem to have changed much, but if you look closely, you will find that in the tiny cracks in the walls of the passage, there are stones that glow red!

Fire stone!

Fire Stone is a dropped item obtained from the Flame Demon Rock, a monster that lives in deep areas. This dropped item is highly flammable and explosive.

In other words, this is a bomb! And it is a bomb with extremely strong power!

"Aren't they afraid that the explosion of so many fire stones will cause the maze to be overturned?" Li Yun stopped in front of the maze passage and fell into deep thought. Should he go out from the back and fight to the death with the poisonous maggots, or go forward and find a glimmer of hope in the explosion of the fire stones?

"Li Yun, let me do it. I'm almost recovered." The blonde swordsman suddenly spoke.

"You want to come? Your magic power and status haven't recovered yet. Going over now would be courting death." Li Yun held her hand, sensed her status, and then denied it outright, "Keep going!"

The moment Li Yun and Ai Si stepped into the fire stone passage, the door fell!

Then, a fire stone exploded...

The vibrations produced by the explosion of the Fire Stone caused other Fire Stones to react. Then, the bombs that had been set up in the passage exploded one after another like mines that had detonated simultaneously.

Countless exploding flames roared loudly, and unknowingly formed a terrifying stream of flames that engulfed the figures of Ai Si and Li Yun in an instant!

This is a fire burial trap. Once an invader steps into this area, he will be completely burned by the flames and will surely die.

Although the fire stone is very powerful, unfortunately, this passage is made of super-hard metal. The raging flames will only cause the temperature inside the maze to soar, but will not damage the maze passage in the slightest!

"Miss Ais!!" After seeing what happened to Li Yun and Ais through the eye crystal, Loki's family and others became anxious.

"Damn it, is this thing really unbreakable!" Diona looked at Grace anxiously, but this heavyweight Grace was helpless in front of this huge mountain bronze door.

Grace is very powerful, not only in Loki's family, but even in the entire Orario, his strength and endurance are among the best. Legend has it that he once lifted a huge sailboat by himself. If he says there is no way, then there is really no way.

"If we can't break through the gate, then let's break through the super metal wall to get in! Grace, you can do it, right?" Finn made a prompt decision, "Livelia, you come and help too!"

"No, my magic can't break this thing." Livilia shook her head. She walked to the wall of the maze and hit it directly with the end of the long staff in her hand.

The wall revealed the luster of super-hard metal, and at the same time, some small fragments fell down.

"The body stones of the obsidian soldiers are mixed into this wall."

Obsidian Soldier is a monster that appears on the 37th floor of the Deep Layer. It has a body made of obsidian. The characteristic of this monster is very simple, that is, it weakens magic.

The excellent magic-resistant armor or shields worn by adventurers are all made of this material.

"That is to say, the stone slabs covering the super-hard metal are all mixed with this kind of stone. This wall is not only strong, but also resistant to magic."

In short, this wall has increased both magic resistance and physical resistance to the point of ninety-nine. Even if Livilia and Grace work together, they can only barely open a passage.

The white and slender fingers tightly grasped the demon-killing obsidian in the palm of the hand and crushed it.

Livilia frowned and continued, "And using magic from the outside would only cause damage to Daedalus Road or the underground waterway."

Of course, this is not the point. The point is how to find Li Yun and Ai Si after entering.

All the enemies and dangers they have encountered so far have been seen through the eye lenses by everyone here. If they rush in rashly, can they really get rid of them?

"This maze is an unprecedented feat, a manifestation of the Daedalus family's infinite wisdom..." Firth's hoarse voice sounded: "If we rush in rashly, we will only fall into a desperate situation. We need to make a long-term plan."

"Take a long-term view? If we take a long-term view, our Ai Si Tan and Athena's Li Yun will be gone!" Loki opened his squinting eyes, "Athena, she wants us to take action again!

PS: Baka is a blocked word. I’m drunk.

Chapter 134: Destined Opponent

"Loki, be quiet." The silver-haired goddess spoke calmly. The waves of fire reflected in her dark pupils did not shake her. Her clear and pleasant voice contained a reassuring power.

"Athena kiss?"

"Just watch quietly. My child is not that fragile."

"Captain, look! The fire wave doesn't seem to be getting close to Mr. Li Yun and Ms. Ai Si!" Raul seemed to have noticed something, and he shouted in surprise, "Something is blocking the fire wave!"

Everyone came back to their senses from their anxiety and stared carefully at the image reflected in the blue crystal for a while...

"Really, the fire wave didn't come near them!"

"That's great...Aisi and Liyun are both fine."

The members who stared at the crystal carefully for a long time finally discovered that the fire wave was blocked by some invisible force when it was half a meter away from Li Yun and the others.

The force that could blow down any building seemed extremely insignificant in front of the invisible force. No matter how they roared, they could not get close to the center of the power.

"Dear Athena, could this be...!?" His narrowed eyes widened. This was the first time that Loki showed such a shaken expression. In response to his hesitation, the silver-haired goddess gave him a proud and proud smile.

"That kid, you have already used your power to this extent..."

In the passage, the waves of fire that burned all enemies slowly subsided, and the bronze passage became red and hot due to the blazing flames. White smoke rose repeatedly, and the entire passage looked like it had been washed by lava.

"I made it through." Li Yun breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What was that just now?" The blonde girl showed a puzzled look on her face. She only saw the boy bending down to the ground, and the fire wave was blocked outside. There was no magic chanting, and no power fluctuations... It was like an innate power.

"Gravity." After untying the rope, Li Yun put Ai Si down. "I just used gravity to form a barrier to protect us."

"Gravity!?" The answer was somewhat unexpected. It's not like Aisi had never seen adventurers who used gravity, but most of those adventurers could only exert gravity on other people, or they were enveloped by gravity themselves. She had never seen or even heard of anyone using gravity as a barrier like Li Yun.

But this is normal. The adventurers in this world have never considered the various uses of gravity. Apart from turning gravity into pressure and exerting it on the enemy, there is no other use. They have never considered the possibility of using gravity to pull down meteorites or using gravity to form an absolute defense.

However, even if it is considered, few people put it into practice. Pulling down a meteorite requires powerful gravity capabilities, and forming an absolute defense requires exquisite gravity control capabilities. Either way, it is not something that can be mastered casually.

Li Yun was able to achieve this thanks to Athena's guidance.

By the way, Li Yun's sudden gravity ability is also one of the abilities of the Gorgon Stone.

The Gorgon Stone is a snake, symbolizing immortality, earth, and darkness. One of the abilities evolved from the power of the earth is gravity.

In God Slayer, the Witch Queen who obtained the power of Athena had a record of using gravity to pull down a floating island in satellite orbit.

Although Li Yun cannot do this now, as long as he works hard, he will be able to do it sooner or later.

As if he could see Ai Si's astonishment, Li Yun smiled and didn't say much, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's take a rest here first. There shouldn't be any danger in this place."

It would be terrible if there was still danger after being washed by such a fierce wave of fire.

"Yeah." Ai Si nodded silently.

In the quiet passage, Li Yun and Ai Si were both silent. Although they successfully resolved the enemy's attack, the tension never dissipated.

Judging from the enemy's cautious approach, they will send people to check whether they are completely dead in a short time.

Take advantage of the opportunity when the enemy sends people to recover as soon as possible.

After about ten minutes, Aisi's negative state finally disappeared. She looked down at the rough palm, a smile appeared on her little face, and she could participate in the battle again!

"It's almost done, let's go." Li Yun brushed off the dust on his robe and reached out to pull Ai Si up.

The two continued to move forward and soon finished walking through the passage inlaid with fire stones.

Relying on his skills, Li Yun successfully led Aisi out of this level and into the next level. The two turned many corners in the maze and did not encounter any danger. But the quieter it was, the more nervous they became.

This is the calm before the storm.

Suddenly, the two stopped at a fork in the road.

Coincidentally, the golden eyes and the black pupils were staring at the same fork in the road.

It was no different from any other passage, it was just an ordinary passage hidden in the darkness.

But as if attracted, the two stared intently into the depths of darkness.

"Boom!" The heartbeat sounded heavily, and the blood flowing in the body seemed to be telling Ais something.

"It seems we have found something." After looking at the girl's expression that seemed to be attracted by something, Li Yun raised his foot and walked towards the dark fork in the road.

Ai Si followed without hesitation.

As they continued to move forward, Aisi's heartbeat became faster and faster. Then, a ray of light appeared at the end of the passage, and that light... was calling Aisi.

"Is the door open?" After passing a long passage, the two came to an open space.

"!?" Sword Lady and Returner widened their eyes at the same time.

This place...is more like a laboratory or a breeding room than an underground maze. It is completely different from the mazes I encountered before!

In the circular hall, which is different from the square secret room, there are long pipes winding on the ground, and the pipes are connected to large flasks on the wall.

There were seven flasks in the room, large enough to fit a curled-up adult.

However, it seemed to tell the visitor that this place had been abandoned. The glass was broken, and the room was filled with dust and cobwebs, with a desolate atmosphere everywhere. Only the huge magic stone lamp in the center of the ceiling was still emitting a bluish-white phosphorescent light, illuminating this gloomy secret room.

At the bottom of the broken glass bottle, there was still some foul-smelling green solution left.

Aisi reached out to touch the flask.

But suddenly, the heartbeat sounded loudly!

The blood in the body began to stir violently.

Then, a sharp tinnitus sounded deep in the eardrum, a feeling of earthworms crawling around under the skin, and a wave of nausea surged up into the throat.

Aisi felt dizzy, and the next moment, she couldn't bear it anymore and her knees bent.

Aisi's blood sensed the residue of immortal essence.

Can't go wrong.

These flasks are used to hold the precious fetuses!

"Is this room the place where the precious fetuses transported to the surface are preserved and nurtured?" Li Yun narrowed his eyes. Does the number of broken flasks represent the number of fetuses?

If this is true, does that mean there are seven immortal clones in total? In addition to the two immortal clones they defeated on the 59th floor, there are still five?

No....this is the orb that is transported to the surface, not the orb in the dungeon...

After realizing this fact, Ais felt an indescribable chill.

Seven of the monster seeds that had cornered Loki's clan on the 59th floor and had required all the first-level adventurers to unleash their full potential to barely defeat them have already been transported to the surface.... Once the immortal clone appears, Orario will... cease to exist!

"You are here as expected." Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded.
