Translator: 549690339
Although Evan and Dragon Town were still confused, they followed Vincent
Wolf, who seemed confident, onto the fork marked “Maze.”
“Are you really sure about this? Just by the name, I can tell it’s not good.” Evan hesitated as she followed behind Vincent Wolf, walking slowly.
“Come on!”
Vincent grabbed Evan’s hand and pulled her to his side. In the blink of an eye, the three of them appeared in a narrow and mysterious corridor, just like the one described in the simulation.
“So this is the Maze?” Evan and Dragon Town looked at the corridor, “Are we supposed to find our way out of the maze?”
“Yes, we need to find the exit, and there are many hidden traps along the way, so we must always be on guard.” Vincent explained. “We came in together, how do you know so much?” Evan asked.
“Wanna know why?” “Yes.”
“Because you’re dumb.”
Angry, Evan tried to bite Vincent but he dodged out of the way, leaving Evan stomping her foot in frustration.
“Uncle Cartwright, can you break through the walls of this corridor?”
Although Vincent had not been able to do so in the simulation, he had been using Barry’s body at the time. Now that Barry was only at Awakening Level 10, his abilities weren’t as powerful as Dragon Town’s.
“I’ll give it a try.” Despite agreeing, Dragon Town clearly lacked confidence.
Evan and Vincent stepped back as Dragon Town maximized his size. He gathered Dragon Breath in his mouth and then unleashed a massive Fire Pillar that carried destructive power towards the wall of the corridor.
Boom—!
A few seconds later, the fire dissipated, but the wall was not only intact, but even the thick vines and moss on it showed no signs of being burned.
“Seems that it’s useless.” Dragon Town shrugged, as if he had expected this outcome all along.
Although he had anticipated this, Vincent was a bit disappointed, but this also confirmed some of his guesses, so it wasn’t a complete loss.
Only Evan stared in amazement at Dragon Town: “So you really are from the
Dragon Clan! I thought you were just a big lizard with wings.”
“Since trying to cheat our way through won’t work, we’ll have to rely on our skills to force our way through.”
When Vincent reached the end of the corridor, he pushed the door open and walked out.
Seeing Vincent begin to move forward, both Dragon Town and Evan followed suit.
Not long arter, tney encountered a crossroacls. vmcent Knew tnat tne maze’s layout had not changed, and it should be the same as in the simulation.
With a smile, Vincent said, “Isn’t this simple?”
“Hurry up and follow me, don’t fall behind.” Vincent called out before continuing forward.
Although they hesitated, Dragon Town and Evan quickly caught up with him, not wanting to be left behind.
It didn’t take long for the three of them to arrive at the Rotating Room. Vincent pulled the door open, then turned to Evan and Dragon Town, “Watch my movements closely and stay right behind me.”
Once inside, the room began to rotate, gravity itself shifting. Relying on his experience in the simulation, Vincent passed through the room in just ten seconds.
Upon reaching the other side, Vincent turned to check on Evan and Dragon Town.
He couldn’t help but laugh at what he saw: Evan was floating in the air, holding onto a table and yelling, while Dragon Town was crawling on the floor, unable to fly due to the confusion with the direction and gravity.
“Watch the timing, find the right direction, and push through all at once!” Vincent could only shout reminders to them.
Even though they understood the trick, they couldn’t manage it right away.
Remembering the time limit on completing the maze, Vincent reluctantly went back into the Rotating Room to lead them out one by one.
After more than ten minutes, Vincent finally emerged again, with one of them on his head and another under his arm. Their combined weight made passing through the room more difficult, but the lingering effect of his Dragon Tiger Body from before prevented him from collapsing in exhaustion.
“I knew this would happen,” Vincent grumbled as he tossed them onto the ground.
“Next time we’ll definitely manage it,” Dragon Town and Evan vowed fervently.
Vincent didn’t believe them, but time was running out, so they had to hurry through the maze.
“There are many traps along this corridor, such as rolling stones, spikes, and launchers. You must follow my footsteps closely and not do anything unnecessary,” he warned.
“Understood!” “Don’t worry!”
Hearing their words, Vincent could only reluctantly trust them. He carefully followed his memory along the corridor, afraid that one misstep would trigger a trap.
Evan followed closely, while Dragon Town shrank down to his smallest size and flew above them.
“There’s a button on the floor here, stepping on it will cause a giant rolling stone to appear. There’s an invisible wire at this corner, touching it will trigger three volleys of arrows. Half a meter ahead is a huge launcher, which will bounce you back to the beginning and randomly trigger several traps. You need to be careful and jump over it…” Vincent explained while they moved.
Dragon Town yawned while flying above Vincent: “These so-called traps are just that, they didn’t even consider flying species. This design is flawed. They should’ve created some aerial traps, like here, if someone were to fly by they would trigger something…”
Snap—!
Vincent’s steps paused midair, and he looked up mechanically. Suddenly, a panel in the ceiling disappeared, revealing hundreds of dangerous mechanical insects with red lights. They flew straight towards Dragon Town.
“What the hell!” Dragon Town was startled and frantically tried to evade them.
The mechanical insects were extremely fast, exploding whenever they neared Dragon Town.
Their explosive force was no joke — a few insects exploding together were equivalent to a small hand grenade. Now, hundreds of these insects filled the room.
Even with Dragon Town’s defensive strength, absorbing all of that force would result in certain death.
Vincent couldn’t bear to watch as Dragon Town tried to escape.
“If you didn’t jinx it, it wouldn’t have happened. Who knew Dragon Town could be so cursed?” Vincent wondered, before continuing, “I never encountered this situation in the simulation, it must be the kind of trap Dragon Town was talking about, specifically targeted at flying species.”
With an idea, Vincent shouted at Dragon Town.
“Uncle Cartwright, hurry up and come down! If you do, maybe they’ll stop chasing you!”
