MTL - Welcome To the World of Strength [Unlimited Stream]-Chapter 165 maze
Jiang Yu said, "I want to know the way to leave the maze."
"Is this..."
"Although our three sisters have been in the maze for a long time, and there were not so many neighbors in the maze at that time, it doesn't mean that we know how to leave."
"If we knew, maybe our three sisters would have left."
Jiang Yu frowned, feeling a little disappointed when she heard the words.
She pointed to the box: "But the shadow monster said that there is no maze in its eyes. What's going on?"
The three sisters muttered for a while, "Maybe it has something to do with its own racial traits." "You should ask it what it said."
It's as if I didn't say it.
Jiang Yu pursed her lips, and a great loss swept her heart.
Although I know that I have only been in for half a day, it is impossible to pass the level immediately, but I suspected that I had hoped for Peacock before, but now I am disappointed, and I am really sad.
But... could the peacock be telling lies?
Jiang Yu doesn't meet many npcs now, she doesn't know what kind of npcs in the maze are, but one thing is certain, that is, npcs are the key to her leaving the maze.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Jiang Yu to leave the maze without the assistance of other things.
And the power world will not allow players to enter a copy that must die.
So there must be something else she hasn't noticed.
Jiang Yu recalled her mission, which was: successfully get out of the maze.
After a pause, Jiang Yu realized where she had been wrong all along.
As we all know, the maze has a total of two doors or two intersections, one for the entrance and one for the exit.
If this is a normal maze game, then Jiang Yu needs to find a way to the exit and leave here.
However, the mission description only said to leave, and did not specifically mention the word exit.
So in other words, as long as she can find the door, whether it is the entrance or the exit, as long as she goes out, she will leave the maze.
And the question Jiang Yu used when asking the npc before was "how to leave", but they might not even know how to get there, so how can they talk about leaving?
Moreover, the definition of the word "leave" is extremely special, and it is also very difficult, but Jiang Yu's "leave" is not like that.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu became somewhat clear.
"Then do you know where there is something similar to a 'door'?" Jiang Yu asked, "It is a place similar to an entrance or an exit."
Now the three sisters gave different answers.
"Oh, if you want to talk about the door, it's true..."
"We do know that a neighbor is indeed a janitor, but we don't know its exact location."
"But it's very fierce. If you want to find it, it may be a bit difficult, and it won't let you in."
Jiang Yu's eyes brightened, "May I ask who is ta—?"
The three sisters looked over together, "Who else can watch the door?"
"of course-"
"The three-headed dog who guards the gate of the underworld."
Jiang Yu was startled, and opened her eyes slightly, but she quickly realized it.
That being said...it is.
Moreover, the npcs that Jiang Yu met in the maze were more or less related to the characters in Greek mythology. Therefore, if there is some kind of gatekeeper, it is not surprising that it is the three-headed **** dog .
Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and asked again: "How do you know?"
"this one?"
The three sisters smiled, "As the existence of two sisters and brothers, of course we will pay more attention to each other."
"However, we don't know exactly where it is."
Jiang Yu: "If I want to go through that door, what do I need to do?"
"My God, you want to go through that door?"
"Are you going to the underworld?"
"Good boy... For the sake of helping us find our eyes, I advise you, don't go there, Cerberus is not something easy to communicate with."
"Yes, and it has a violent temper and strong strength, you simply can't break through it."
"If you force your way through, it will only become its appetizer."
"Oh... don't think that you can go to the underworld, be eaten by Cerberus and die, and you won't be able to come back after you go."
Of course, Jiang Yu knew that this would be risky. After all, whether she could really leave after passing through the door was only her speculation.
If not...
Then she might really enter the underworld.
But this is both a danger and an opportunity, and it is rare to encounter a clue about "exit/entrance", Jiang Yu will not give up.
What's more... Doing nothing is the fastest way to die.
Jiang Yu said: "I will be careful, thank you."
"Okay, okay, since you've already decided."
Before leaving, Jiang Yu asked, "By the way, how much do you know about shadow monsters?"
"Hmm...not sure."
"It's very mysterious."
"But I like petty theft."
Hearing the "slander", the shadow monster immediately howled: "What?! I obviously took the things openly, but you didn't realize it yourself, and you actually rogue me to steal things, it's too abominable!"
Jiang Yu said in a low voice: "What you mean by being aboveboard is that you hide in the shadows so that others can't see it, and then 'take' things away when they are not prepared?"
"...Then, what's the matter! They didn't see it themselves, and they don't blame me."
Jiang Yu didn't say much, but asked again: "Is there a being named Minotaur in the maze?"
"Of course, what's the matter, are you going to find it?"
"I advise you not to go, it is not something to mess with."
After Jiang Yu heard the words, she was more sure that the composition of the npc here was related to the characters in Greek mythology. She nodded, "Okay, thank you."
He gave them the peacock's four eyes, and Jiang Yu kept two for herself, and then left.
Has the river **** pointed her to the npc direction before, has she been checked yet?
Jiang Yu was thoughtful: "Why are you so special?"
So special that it is not limited by the maze.
Could this be somehow related to getting out of the maze?
"Hey, when will you let me go?"
Jiang Yu said: "Wait first. By the way, can you see where the three-headed dog is?"
Although the shadow monster can't see the specific route, it's good to help her see the direction.
The shadow monster bargained: "Unless you let me go, I won't watch it for you!"
Jiang Yu is not in a hurry. Also ignored it.
Moreover, she also needs to add some chips for herself.
Because her own props may not be able to have an effect on the three-headed dog.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu stopped slightly.
Except for those red-named npcs who are irrational and only know how to attack, all the npcs that Jiang Yu met who could communicate and provide clues did not seem to rely on force to pass the level.
When facing the river god, you need to answer questions to make choices. When facing the three sisters, you need to help them find their eyes. When facing the peacock, you need to help it find the lost treasure.
Jiang Yu has never fought with them, because before the option of fighting, there is an option that is more prioritized and optional.
Will the three-headed dog be the same?
Moreover, shadow monsters are an exception.
In order to verify her guess, Jiang Yu quickened her pace and went to find the rest of the npcs who knew the location.
Then, Jiang Yu met Hydra who was able to communicate but seemed cruel and had a bad temper? Although the size of the opponent is much larger than that of Hydra. It looks like Yamata no Orochi exists.
The land under his feet has turned into a swamp, and there are countless green mist rising around him, which looks very ominous.
Seeing someone coming in, one of its heads opened its eyes and looked over. It opened its mouth slightly, revealing its sharp fangs.
"Humanity…"
To be honest, Jiang Yu was somewhat disgusted by such things, but she still stood there without changing her expression.
This is an npc that can communicate, but...even if it can communicate, it doesn't look too good.
The shadow monster in the box trembled: "You, why did you come to Hydera's territory..."
Jiang Yu asked in a low voice, "Do you know each other?"
"How can you not know the famous Lord Hydera!"
Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Ah, I'm somewhat ignorant."
Although he didn't know each other, it didn't prevent Jiang Yu from making judgments about the other party's image.
This is also good, just use this npc to test the props.
However, the other party unexpectedly did not attack, but only made his own request: "Give me human and animal food, and I will let you pass."
Jiang Yu: ...
"Sorry, there's no such thing."
Her disrespectful attitude obviously aroused Hydra's anger. The nine heads of the other party shook at the same time, causing the neck to bend, making a loud hiss, and even the sky seemed to darken a lot in an instant.
The huge body can almost be regarded as covering the clouds and the sun, thanks to the relatively large open space, otherwise the maze would not be able to accommodate it.
Jiang Yu was covered by the fierce air brought by the other party, and had to cover her face to resist the stench, and took a step back at the same time.
"If that's the case, I'll eat you!"
Jiang Yu didn't wait much, and rushed up directly, and fell directly on top of the hydra amidst the terrified screams of the shadow monster.
Both props and spells are useful to NPCs, but they have to be greatly discounted. The functions themselves can be used, but the redundant functions will not work.
For example, if Jiang Yu has a knife that can make the wounds of the injured monsters unable to heal, then when it acts on these npcs, it can only play the role of a knife itself, without additional functions, that is, the wounds cannot be healed. effect.
This is not good news for her, but it is also useful news. At least it is better to test it with this not too strong npc than to face the **** three-headed dog.
Jiang Yu could feel that she could deal with it, but she couldn't kill her.
The other party can't eat her, and she can't kill the other party either.
If this stalemate continues, there is no way...
And if you cut off a head, it will grow back soon.
At this time, the shadow monster finally said: "Use a torch, light it with fire and cut off the exposed place, so that it won't grow back!"
When Jiang Yu heard this, she didn't hesitate anymore, and a raging fire burned at the place where the snake's head was broken.
When the last head was finally chopped off, Hydra finally fell to the ground.
Jiang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that to defeat the npc, a specific method must be used, and this method...
Jiang Yu looked at the box, "How do you know?"
The shadow monster stammered, "I, I can't tell either."
Jiang Yu was thoughtful and didn't ask any more questions.
If the principles she experimented with before are useful to all the npcs in the maze, then it stands to reason that this box shouldn't be able to hold shadow monsters.
Maybe it's okay to be trapped for a while, but the opponent can use the shadow in the box to escape instead of being trapped inside and unable to move.
This shows that shadow monsters are special.
What is it?
After dealing with the hydra, Jiang Yu had time to notice that the blood shed by the other party seemed to be corrosive. She squinted her eyes, and then found something to store some of the blood in case of emergency.
If the props don't work, then you can only use npc things to deal with npc.
At this moment, Jiang Yu seemed to have grasped something vaguely.
She regretted not choosing the ax provided by the river god. Maybe that would be a useful prop, no telling.
But since he had already missed it, Jiang Yu didn't think about it anymore.
Jiang Yu asked the shadow monster again, "Can you see where the **** three-headed dog is?"
This time the other party did not evade, but gave an answer: "I can see it. In my vision, it is located below. If you want to get there, you have to walk in a straight line for an hour. You can't turn in the middle." , or you won’t be able to pass.”
This is undoubtedly very useful information, but—
Walking in a straight line through this winding maze for an hour? This is simply impossible.
Or…
Jiang Yu knew that the other party was guarding the gate of hell, so in other words, those who could be released should be human beings who died naturally, so the metaphorical meaning of this method is that only the soul can walk straight through the wall?
Jiang Yu roughly understood something.
It's just that this method is too dangerous. Even her, if her soul cannot come back, she will die in the dungeon. If only her soul goes out, she will also not be able to survive.
The safest way is to physically pass through the gates of hell.
But in this way, she was stuck in the first step.
Jiang Yu didn't act in a hurry, but looked at the fallen Hydra corpse, wondering what she was thinking.
Now that she already knows that the gifts and props of each npc are useful, what is the use of Hydra?
blood?
Jiang Yu asked the shadow monster: "Is the **** three-headed dog stronger than the Hydra?"
Shadow monster: "Of course! It's not a level thing at all."
It also confirmed Jiang Yu's guess that Jiang Yu couldn't beat the opponent at this moment.
"Then what is its recipe?"
Jiang Yu vaguely remembered the plot of a Greek story that she once read. It was about a person who wanted to get past the interception of the **** three-headed dog, so he fed a piece of bread. The three-headed dogs fought and quarreled for the piece of bread, and the human Then slipped in while in chaos.
So does she have to prepare a piece of food too?
Jiang Yu can take out the food herself, but she is not sure if she can attract the attention of the npc, so she still has to look for it in the maze.
And now, what was lying in front of her could be regarded as food to some extent?
The shadow monster seemed to understand Jiang Yu's meaning, and asked tremblingly: "You don't want to give Lord Hydera's body to Lord Cerberus...to eat it?"
Jiang Yu smiled and bent her eyes, her voice was soft: "What's wrong, isn't it good?"
The author has something to say:
Cerberus is the watchdog of **** in ancient Greek mythology. Born to Typhon and Echidna. Hesiod said in "Theogony" that this dog has 50 heads, and some later works of art mostly show that it has 3 heads, so in the Chinese context, especially in popular culture, it is often called the three heads of Hell. head dog. (Encyclopedia)
Hydra is a Hydra in Greek mythology. It is said that it has nine heads. If one of its heads is cut off, two heads will be born immediately. . Using his wisdom, Hercules successfully defeated the giant water serpent Hydra. (Encyclopedia)
