MTL - Welcome To the World of Strength [Unlimited Stream]-Chapter 168 maze
Because of the gold coins provided, the boatman rowed conscientiously along the way and carried Jiang Yu to the distance.
Jiang Yu lowered her eyes to look at the river below the boat. It was dark and bottomless, and it seemed that there was some eddy rolling quietly.
Jiang Yu moved her mind, pulled out a hair and let it float into the river, and then she saw that the hair began to slowly annihilate as soon as it touched the river, like soot being blown away by the wind.
Seeing Jiang Yu's actions, the boatman laughed, "Only my boat can cross this river, and it is impossible for others to swim across."
Jiang Yu smiled, "Then what if the other party came up without paying the boat fare?"
The boatman laughed mockingly: "That depends on whether he has the ability to sit on the shore."
Jiang Yu understood, so she didn't say any more.
In fact, she was more or less nervous, afraid that the boatman would overturn the boat halfway and throw her here.
But now it seems that this is just a brainstorm in Jiang Yu's mind, and the boatman is still a very trustworthy businessman.
Soon, the boatman brought Jiang Yu to the shore.
"You probably want to see Mr. Pluto, right? Walk along this road, and you will be there. But don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, Mr. Pluto will not come out to meet you so easily. If you don't see Mr. Pluto, you will come back." Well, it’s not good for the living to stay here for too long.”
Jiang Yu curved her lips and smiled: "Thank you."
"But if you want me to drive you back, then you have to negotiate the price separately."
Jiang Yu is not worried about this, she still has gold coins.
So she smiled and watched the boatman row the boat away, then took a deep breath, released bats to be vigilant on the left and right, and walked forward through the dark tunnel-like road.
When she walked through the entrance, Jiang Yu didn't feel anything, and there was no reminder that the mission was successful, but she had already guessed before, so she didn't panic.
Jiang Yu walked inside. It seemed like a palace built underground. Although it could not be said to be gorgeous, it was very magnificent and revealed a faint imposing manner, which should not be underestimated.
Jiang Yu didn't see anyone here, and guessed that her arrival was not enough for Pluto to appear.
In fact, it would be better if Pluto didn't show up?
There have been two changes in Jiang Yu's speculation, from the original "as long as you pass through the entrance of the underworld, you will leave" to "enter the entrance of the underworld and come out of the underworld, that is, you will leave after crossing the exit", so it stands to reason that as long as she is now Backtrack to complete the task.
But, as the Minotaur said, can all the living people leave the underworld smoothly?
Although Pluto would not come out to see her, he might not allow a living person to come and go freely in his territory.
Now that it has come, it is bound to leave something behind.
Jiang Yu is leaving now, is it true that all of her is gone? Will some of them be mortgaged in the underworld? And what will happen to her who lost part of her back to the transit island?
Jiang Yu didn't intend to take risks, but followed the procedure provided by the Minotaur and told the joke provided by Sphinx King.
Although Jiang Yu thought the joke was earthy and cold, but to her surprise, soon, two laughters, a man and a woman, came from the air.
At first he was very reserved, only a short burst of breath, seemed to be able to hold back, just laughed out of his nasal cavity, but soon, the voice came out of his throat, and he laughed again, and could no longer hide it.
Accompanied by laughter, two figures appeared on the throne in front of them, dressed in ancient Western costumes, a man and a woman, they looked like husband and wife. Obviously Pluto and his wife.
"It's been a long time since I heard such a funny joke..."
Jiang Yu didn't know how to complain in her heart.
This kind of joke is actually very bad, right?
But it is also understandable, it is probably because they guard the underworld day after day and cannot go out, and the foreign souls are afraid of their majesty and dare not talk to them, so it is normal that they have never heard of the joke?
After seeing Jiang Yu standing below, the two slowly stopped smiling.
"You are a living person." It was an affirmative tone, "What are you doing in the underworld?"
"You know, once you come to the underworld, you can't go back easily."
Jiang Yu pursed her lower lips, "Yes, I just had to come for some reason. After seeing you two, I should leave."
"Leave? It's easy to say, since you've come, don't leave, stay in the underworld!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Jiang Yu noticed that the door of the palace at the back was closed immediately, the surrounding environment became gloomy, and even the air became colder.
She could vaguely feel that her body was being corroded by something, if it wasn't for the fact that she was not an ordinary human being at the moment, she might not be able to hold on long ago.
The woman made a questioning voice, "Huh?"
Jiang Yu knew that she was wondering about her situation.
"You are no ordinary human being."
Jiang Yu didn't say much, she knew it was time to present the gift, but she was not in a hurry, but said: "I came to the underworld because I came from the maze, and I want to ask you how to get out of the maze."
"The labyrinth?" Pluto thought thoughtfully, "You're talking about the labyrinth above."
Jiang Yu nodded.
The queen of the underworld smiled lightly: "If you stay here, don't you just leave the maze?"
Jiang Yu paused.
Although the logic is weird, it is inexplicably right.
But everything still depends on the app. Since the app didn't announce that she had completed the task, Jiang Yu would not be moved no matter how much what the other party said seemed to be the truth.
Seeing this, Empress Ming's smile deepened, and she didn't deliberately increase the intensity of her speech, but at that moment, her voice suddenly became much louder, as if she was speaking next to Jiang Yu's ear.
And with echoes bit by bit, it is a bit empty, but inexplicably permeating.
"Why, am I wrong? You see, instead of staying in the maze and wandering and getting lost day after day, it is better to enjoy the wealth and honor here. Although our place is the underworld, the glory and wealth of the human world are also available here.
As long as you provide us with jokes day after day, you can save yourself from all the pain in this world. Is not it good? "
"Using the situation of you humans as a metaphor, you have suddenly become a big celebrity beside the king.
And you see that you are not really dead now, and you don't have to suffer as much as before, so why hesitate? "
The other party's words were soft, with the intention of bewitching.
To be honest, it sounds really good, but it's a pity that Jiang Yu is not from here, and she doesn't care about this preference at all.
Seeing Jiang Yu's refusal without hesitation, Empress Ming's face darkened.
"No matter how much you refuse, you can't leave anyway."
Jiang Yu looked at the two of them, knowing that this situation was very difficult.
Although she didn't know if her props could be used against them—even if she could, Jiang Yu could feel that her strength should not be able to beat them.
In the case that the dungeon level is slightly higher than his own character level, these two are undoubtedly boss-level characters, or two, and they are not the existence of violent customs clearance in the first place—maybe Shi Jun can indeed.
But for other players, you need to use other methods to convince Hades and Hades.
No wonder if you want to prepare a gift, it must be a precious enough gift.
Jiang Yu didn't panic, but subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, feeling that it's okay...
Although she failed to see through the mechanism of this dungeon at the very beginning, and finally came to the underworld eager for quick success, but luckily she was very lucky.
Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and took out the box.
"I think it shouldn't be able to escape while you are here?"
Empress Ming's face changed slightly, "What you put inside is..."
Jiang Yu let the shadow monster out.
Pluto reached out and grabbed the shadow monster.
The shadow monster that was chattering and domineering at the beginning didn't make a sound at the moment, as if it was a pet that dared not speak after seeing its owner.
Jiang Yu first speculated whether the shadow monster was the child or pet of the queen of the underworld. Although she didn't know the specific life experience of the other party, it was definitely related to the underworld.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to see the way to the underworld so directly.
It is not troubled by the maze and can go directly to the underworld, but other people cannot. This is the reason why Jiang Yu cannot come to the underworld even if it tells Jiang Yu. In the end, he had to use a series of props to come here.
Empress Ming's face softened a lot, "So it's here with you."
Jiang Yu said: "I hope to use it as a gift in exchange for my leaving."
The shadow monster seemed to move.
Jiang Yu's gaze noticed, but she didn't say much.
The reason why the other party ran away was because he definitely didn't want to come back. It may not be appropriate for Jiang Yu to "sell" him out for her own departure, but...
Jiang Yu is not a kind-hearted person.
She loves NPCs only within the scope of her ability, and even more so on the premise of not endangering her own interests.
Jiang Yu's "follow your heart" follows her own heart, not the npc's.
So even if she had a flash of guilt, it was just guilt, and Jiang Yu would not regret it, let alone take back her decision.
Empress Ming nodded and sighed, "It's fine if that's the case, since you left it behind, then you can go."
Pluto stretched out his hand, and the door behind Jiang Yu opened.
"Leave. If there is a next time, you can only stay here forever."
Jiang Yu expressed her understanding, and then took a deep breath.
The road ahead is no different from before.
Jiang Yu saw the boatman again, and he was very surprised that she could come out, but even so, he still said in a business-like manner: "Even so, you still have to pay the boat fee to get on the boat."
Jiang Yu smiled lightly, took out the gold coin, "Here."
The boatman took it, nodded with satisfaction, and carried Jiang Yu away.
When Jiang Yu passed by the three-headed dogs, they were lying there, and the three heads were playing together with a toy. Although they were too close because they shared the same body, it was also because of this that the inheritance between them The ball is more convenient and at the same time can grab the ball.
Although it is not as convenient as using the body separately, it seems that I have never seen any toys, and they are very satisfied.
Jiang Yu took a closer look... Speechlessly, she found that the "ball" was actually the head of Hydera she threw out earlier.
No wonder they looked familiar to her, no wonder they ran strangely when they were thrown out.
It turned out that it was not foraging, but playing with toys.
Jiang Yu didn't delay, and left quickly when the three-headed dog didn't pay attention to her.
Then, it's time to use the eyeballs.
A section of the red wool is still lying on the ground, and the other end is connected to the exit.
Jiang Yu took a deep breath and calmed down.
She took out her eyeballs and walked steadily forward step by step.
The feelings of coming and going are completely opposite.
When I came here, I felt the cold and scorching breath getting heavier and heavier, and there seemed to be a magma-like breath in my nose, but when I left, this feeling gradually faded, and the surrounding temperature seemed to return to normal. The air at the tip of the nose is gradually getting fresher.
Jiang Yu knew that this was her going out.
The red line in front of her seemed to be getting shorter and shorter, which meant that Jiang Yu was about to get out of the maze.
After a trance, Jiang Yu looked down, and the other end of the red line was at her feet. As long as you cross it, you will pass the level...
Jiang Yu stretched out her foot and stepped on it.
The next moment, the sound of mirrors breaking came from the surroundings. In the blurred peripheral vision, the surrounding things fell down like flying confetti, and the surrounding environment was shattering little by little. At the same time, something happened Change.
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes in a daze.
She returned to the transit island.
Jiang Yu blinked, realizing that her mission should have been successful?
An idea seemed to flash through his mind, but Jiang Yu couldn't catch it.
She looked at her surroundings, and she happened to be in the living room of Wang Meng.
She was alone in the living room at this time.
Since they were separated in the dungeon, Jiang Yu guessed that Shi Jun and the others hadn't come out yet.
It's just that she came out first, but Shi Jun hasn't come out yet?
If it's a separate dungeon like this, let Jiang Yu guess who will come out first among them, she must choose Shi Jun, but why can't I see her now?
Just as Jiang Yu was thinking like this, Shi Jun came out of the kitchen.
Jiang Yu was startled, and subconsciously observed her.
Facing Jiang Yu's gaze, Shi Jun smiled at her and walked over, "Why are you like this?"
Jiang Yu frowned for some unknown reason, unable to tell what emotion she was in, she just asked Shijun: "You... came out?"
Shi Jun nodded, "Yes."
She observed Jiang Yu, "What's wrong? Your expression doesn't look right."
Jiang Yu shook her head in a daze, "No, it's nothing."
She sat down on the sofa, squeezed her fingers, and couldn't tell what her emotions and feelings were.
After a while, Jiang Yu said: "It's probably because... there were no injuries or dangers this time, so I found it unbelievable, right?"
Shi Jun laughed and sat down next to Jiang Yu, "There is no danger? There are dangers everywhere in the dungeon, but the difference is whether it is thrilling or not for you."
Jiang Yu pursed her lower lip, understanding what the other party meant.
Just enjoy facing the eyes of the peacock. If Jiang Yu is not careful, then she will be injured like her own bat, or when facing Hydera, if there is no reminder from the shadow monster, Jiang Yu may not be able to find a way to completely kill her. opponent's method.
And the Minotaur, if she didn't have the bull, she wouldn't be able to swipe this npc.
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "You are right."
Shi Jun looked at her and smiled softly, "By the way, you seem a little tired, do you want to take a rest?"
Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Yu really felt tired and sleepy all of a sudden.
She narrowed her eyes and yawned.
The author has something to say:
I don't know if I should say it properly... I seem to have reversed the order of the three-headed dog and the boatman (the encyclopedia is to cross the river first and then the dog x) (but it doesn't matter!)
This is really the end
