Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"Hiss... Lord Kenrushi, you misunderstood. I'm not here to collect payment, but to provide you with free help."

The Earth Ghost said this as he slowly crawled between the two maze entrances.

"It's quite a coincidence... I happened to be nearby today for another 'commission', and I saw you, Master Kenroshi, rushing here in a hurry... If I'm not mistaken, Master Kenroshi, you're probably chasing a human boy wielding a jet-black longsword, right?"

The words spoken by the Earth Ghost were exactly what Ken Ruoxi needed at the moment, but he didn't want to expose his thoughts to be manipulated by the Earth Ghost, so he controlled his expression very well without showing any ripples.

"It's not a chase, it's just a bit of a holiday," Ken Ruxi said lightly.

"Hiss... That's perfect! I just saw this young man enter the maze entrance alone, about fifteen minutes ago."

The Earth Ghost's statement caught Ken Ruoxi's attention. This statement was different from what he had just deduced.

"Alone? The young man was the only one who entered the maze?"

"Hiss... Yes, there's only one person. What's wrong, Mr. Kenrushi?"

"No, it's nothing."

Ken Ruoxi was a little surprised. He thought these people would share life and death together, but he didn't expect it to be just like this.

It turns out that the only one who really came to save Shirley was Fike.

That would be perfect, as he could more easily enter the maze and find and kill Fei Ke.

The only question left is...

"Mister Earth Ghost, I heard that this 'Maze Green Ghost Lair' seems to be a bit unusual recently. Do you have any relevant information?"

Kenroshi was not stupid, he knew the risks of entering a maze, even if it was just an ordinary maze.

Moreover, he had heard some bad rumors about the "Maze Green Ghost Lair" these days.

"Eh? Really? I really don't know that."

Digui's heart skipped a beat. What he was most worried about was that Ken Ruxi was afraid to take the risk of the maze and then backed out of going in. He didn't expect that at this critical moment when he was about to go in, Ken Ruxi still brought up this matter.

In order not to affect Kenruxi's enthusiasm, Digui chose to lie, but his action made Kenruxi even more suspicious.

——(You don’t know?)

——(With the Snake Shadow Society’s intelligence network, how could they not know about this?)

Ken Ruoxi, who has always been cautious and suspicious, became suspicious at this time. He vaguely felt that the underground ghost seemed to be very eager to let himself enter the maze.

As the saying goes, there is no pain without gain. The fact that Di Gui is so motivated must be due to his vested interests.

——(If the Earth Ghost just wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, then it’s fine, but if this guy is eyeing my life, then…)

Ken Ruoxi's thinking was not without basis. As far as he knew, although the Snake Shadow Society had powerful combat capabilities, sometimes they would not take direct action, but instead manipulate intelligence and play with people's hearts to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If another client offered the Snake Shadow Society a high price to kill "Kenroshi Okami, the second son of the Wolf King Chief", the Earth Ghost would definitely accept it.

——(Suspicious, very suspicious.)

——(The underground ghost even went to the trouble of deceiving me and trying to get me into the maze. There must be some conspiracy here.)

Since he and the Snake Shadow Society still have a cooperative relationship on the surface, and the top combat power of the Snake Shadow Society cannot be ignored, Ken Ruxi did not choose to directly tear his face with the Earth Ghost.

However, he would definitely not enter this "Maze·Green Ghost Lair".

As for the potential threat "Fike", Kenrushi felt that it would not be a big problem to let it go for a while.

In any case, in a month or two at most, he, Kenroshi Okami, would gain even greater power and even become the new leader of the werewolf royal family. What could this "Fike" do in the meantime? Just being able to increase his strength by one level was already remarkable, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

——(Also, as long as Shirley is still in my hands, he will definitely throw himself into the flame sooner or later...)

After some consideration, Kenroshi finally gave up entering the maze. He couldn't take too much risk at this critical juncture when the plan was going smoothly.

"Thank you for the information, Lord Earth Ghost, but I suddenly remembered that I had something urgent to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Ken Ruoxi turned his horse around, spurred it on, and galloped away with a light shout.

Digui, who thought his plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife was about to succeed, didn't react at all. He couldn't understand why Ken Ruxi suddenly changed his mind?

"Hiss... Damn it! Why is Benning so lucky!!"

The Earth Ghost was so angry that he controlled the puppet snake to crash into a tree and "committed suicide".

8.66 - Labyrinth Strange Phenomenon (Part )

Outside the maze, a scene of intrigue has just ended.

Inside the maze, Jiang Ran didn't know that his crisis had been resolved, and was carefully rushing towards another entrance and exit - because, if Kenroshi Okami entered the maze, he would definitely enter from here.

Before entering the Green Ghost Lair, Jiang Ran anticipated that he might encounter a Goblin army right after entering, so he was ready to use the "Shadow Step" the moment he entered.

Unexpectedly, more than ten minutes have passed since Jiang Ran entered the maze, and he hasn't seen any goblin.

(Something's wrong... This maze is too peaceful.)

·

Under the gray sky, in the dense yet lifeless woods, the boy was lurking.

After monitoring at another entrance for an hour, Jiang Ran did not wait for Kenrushi Okami.

At this time, Jiang Ran had two choices. One was to risk leaving the maze to see what was happening outside, and the other was to stay in the maze.

Jiang Ran thought about it for a while and finally decided to stay in the maze and go deeper into the maze to see what's going on.

As Jiang Ran walked deeper and deeper towards the core of the maze, he saw more and more strange scenes.

Not only did he see no trace of goblins in the wild mountains, but even in the terraced fields and goblin camps, there were no goblins at all.

(The goblins...all disappeared?)

Jiang Ran went into the barracks to explore. He saw half-cooked dishes on the stove in the kitchen, and half-hammered pig iron in the smelting room... All signs indicated that something seemed to have happened to the goblins and they suddenly disappeared collectively.

However, this disappearance did not happen out of thin air. Jiang Ran followed the large number of footprints on the ground and found where these "disappeared" goblins went.

(This direction is... the Goblin Castle at the center of the maze...?)

Although he found a clue, it made Jiang Ran even more confused.

After he left, what exactly happened in this maze?

Could it be that the Goblin King summoned all the goblins in the maze to destroy the Bloodthirsty Serpent and the Red and Black Elder?

(No… that’s not right… it’s been so many days, even if we were called, we should have disbanded.)

In Jiang Ran's last memory of the maze, the Red and Black Elder only had the strength to escape, and although the Bloodthirsty Serpent could fight against the Goblin King, it was generally no match for the Goblin King.

Moreover, Jiang Ran had just found traces of a battle between the blood-sucking snake and the maze exit, which meant that the blood-sucking snake had also left the maze.

Since the Bloodthirsty Serpent has left the maze and the maze has not disappeared, it means that the Goblin King is not dead yet and this "Green Ghost Lair" has not been conquered.

The more Jiang Ran knew, the more suspenseful the mysteries in this maze became.

He glanced at the time, thought for a moment, and then continued to head towards the Goblin Castle with Xiao Moto.

·

After more than an hour's trek, Jiang Ran and Xiao Moto finally arrived at the gate of the Goblin Castle again.

To be more precise, it should be called "The Former Goblin Castle", because after that tragic war, the Goblin Castle is now a dilapidated ruin.

At the gate with only rafters and tiles, Jiang Ran did not see any goblin, and he and Xiao Moto had not encountered any goblin in the more than one hour they had been walking.

Moreover, the footprints of the goblins disappeared one after another after they entered the goblin city.

(Weird, really weird.)

(Has this "Maze: Green Ghost Lair" been cleared?)

Jiang Ran didn't think that someone had killed all the goblins, because it was impossible for such a large number of goblins to leave not even a single corpse.

Something extraordinary must have happened in this green ghost's lair.

·

After Jiang Ran explored here, he had no reason not to enter the Goblin Castle.

Even if something unexpected happens, he is confident that he and Xiao Moto can escape.

So, Jiang Ran and Xiao Moto carefully entered the ruins of the Goblin Castle, and finally made a discovery in this desolate ruin.

·

As soon as he entered the ruins, Jiang Ran saw the "red beam of light" that he had seen before.

Before, this "red beam of light" was very thick and bright, and could be seen clearly even outside the maze. But now there is only a thin beam of light like a red line, and it is very dim, so Jiang Ran didn't notice it until now.

If Jiang Ran remembered correctly, the "core" of this maze should be below the "red beam".

In addition to being protected by a magic barrier, it is also protected by six fourth-order, level 100 goblin guards.

And now, the core of the maze is still there, and the magic barrier is still deployed, but the goblin guards are nowhere to be found.

However, this does not mean that the "maze core" can be left to Jiang Ran to destroy, because the strongest king in the "Green Ghost Lair" is guarding the "maze core" at this moment.

·

As soon as he saw the Goblin King sitting there, Jiang Ran immediately hid with his motorcycle. Fortunately, the other party seemed not to notice Jiang Ran and his friends' arrival and was still sitting there quietly.

Jiang Ran and Xiao Moto hid behind the ruins. It took them several minutes to calm their hearts, which had been beating at 200 beats per minute.

No matter how you look at it, it's still a bit exciting to run into the maze boss unexpectedly.

After calming down, Jiang Ran's ability to think returned.

Why did all the goblins in the entire maze disappear, leaving only the Goblin King?

Jiang Ran asked Xiao Moto to stay on standby while he quietly stuck his head out to check on the Goblin King's situation from a distance.

The Goblin King was indeed the same one Jiang Ran had seen before, except that one of the magic goblin was missing an arm, presumably injured by a blood-sucking snake.

Logically speaking, this level of injury would not have much impact on the maze boss, but for some reason, Jiang Ran always felt that the Goblin King's aura seemed not as terrifying as before.

...Even within this huge figure, there is a hint of loneliness and sadness.

(Is it because I’m used to it?)

(Or is it because I advanced from level 2 to level 3?)

Jiang Ran gritted his teeth and, relying on the cover of the shadows, moved a little closer to the Goblin King.

When he got close enough to use his identification ability, Jiang Ran finally understood why the Goblin King looked different.

·

For some unknown reason, the Goblin King, who originally possessed the strength of a monster, is now "only" at level 270, level .

·

(Strange, what is going on?)

Jiang Ran recalled the rules of the maze. Logically speaking, when he entered the maze again, the level of the monsters in the maze should only increase and not decrease. Moreover, Shirley had never said before that the monsters in the maze would become weaker on their own.

Whether it was the Goblin King's inexplicable weakening or the goblins' collective disappearance, Jiang Ran was completely puzzled.

At this moment, the Goblin King, who had been sitting still, suddenly stood up and looked towards Jiang Ran's hiding place.

"Insidious human! I smell your stench! Get out of here now!!!" (Demon language)

After several days, the roar of the Goblin King still made Jiang Ran feel the shock that struck his heart.

8.67 - Negotiations on the Battlefield (Part )

Upon hearing the Goblin King's furious threat, Jiang Ran's first reaction was to grab his scooter and run away.

But just after meeting up with Xiao Moto, Jiang Ran suddenly noticed something wrong.

(Strange, why didn't the Goblin King chase me out?)

Generally speaking, it is definitely a good thing that the maze boss did not chase him out, and Jiang Ran does not have any special interests or hobbies. However, in his memory, the Goblin King can easily chase a monster at a distance of five or ten kilometers. Why did he just roar a harsh word this time and then there was no further news?

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Ran stopped.

He asked Xiao Moto to wait outside the Goblin Castle and turned around and went in again.
