Chapter 345 Untitled Draft 2
"You have half an hour. If you can't get out, you'll be stuck here forever." The group exchanged glances, but without hesitation, they quickly dispersed and began exploring the maze. They moved cautiously, each step fraught with uncertainty. Some triggered traps, forced back by suddenly fired arrows; others discovered hidden clues, guiding them forward. Time ticked by. Could they escape the maze within the allotted time and obtain the treasure?
Just as everyone was in a state of panic, Shao, who had been silently pondering, suddenly activated his technique, thankfully without serious injury. Finally, at the last moment, they saw the light of the exit. Everyone cheered and rushed out. Before them lay a treasure chest radiating a mysterious light; the secret treasure was inside. They had succeeded. What awaited them now was the surprise brought by the treasure and unknown challenges.
Just as everyone was racking their brains, Ash, who had been quietly observing, noticed strange patterns on the maze walls. Following the patterns, he found a mechanism. As the mechanism activated, a section of the maze wall slowly moved, revealing a new passage. Everyone's spirits lifted, and they hurried forward through the new passage. But they hadn't gone far when a huge stone gate appeared ahead, covered in mysterious runes.
The crowd gathered around the stone door, trying to decipher the secrets of the runes. At this moment, Xiao You, an expert in runes, stepped forward, carefully examining the runes with a furrowed brow. Time slipped by as she pondered, and more than half an hour had passed. Suddenly, Xiao You's eyes lit up; she discovered that the arrangement of the runes seemed to be related to constellations in the sky. She quickly compared the runes to the faint starlight filtering through the maze's ceiling and found the correct sequence to decipher them. As Xiao You gently touched the runes, the stone door slowly opened, revealing the passage behind it.
The group entered the new passage with great anticipation, their hearts filled with longing and curiosity for the hidden treasure. However, when they finally reached the end of the passage, they were stunned by the sight before them—it was a huge circular space!
In the center of this space, a mysterious treasure radiating an enigmatic light floats, standing silently as if awaiting the arrival of a destined one. However, surrounding the treasure are concentric circles of rapidly spinning sharp blades, forming a tight protective net that prevents anyone from easily approaching.
Time was running out, and everyone began to feel anxious. Just then, Xiao Kai, who was skilled in mechanics, stepped forward. He carefully observed the spinning blades and discovered that they weren't rotating randomly, but rather following a certain pattern.
Xiao Kai concentrated, carefully studying the rotation trajectory of the blade, and finally found the gap. He quickly explained his discovery to everyone and directed them to pass through in turn according to a specific rhythm.
The group cautiously weaved between the sharp blades, each step fraught with danger. A single misstep could result in a cut from the rapidly spinning blades. Everyone kept their eyes glued to the front, not daring to relax for a moment.
Finally, everyone except the last person successfully passed through the blade zone. Just as the last person was about to pass, an unexpected event occurred—the blade's spinning speed suddenly increased, and it was about to hit him!
In the nick of time, Ash reacted swiftly, reaching out and pulling the person away. Everyone's hearts raced from the shock of the moment, but thankfully, all was well, and the last person escaped danger.
After a tense and arduous journey, the group finally arrived at the treasure. However, just as they were about to reach out and touch it with great joy, something unexpected happened again—the treasure suddenly emitted a bright light, so bright that it was almost impossible for them to open their eyes.
The light gradually faded, and a phantom figure slowly emerged. This figure appeared somewhat blurry, making it difficult to discern its true form, but judging from its outline and aura, it seemed to be a powerful being. It spoke, "If you wish to take the treasure, you must pass my test." The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination. Having come this far, they would not give up easily.
