"What happened!" After such a long time, Lin Yuechang had finally recovered. He was just on the verge of waking up when he heard that familiar roar, which startled him awake! "There’s the call of that beast!"
"Even after fainting, your ears are still so sharp," Jiang Xue rolled her eyes.
"Alright, it’s likely that we disturbed this spirit sword or those treasures, and that alerted the beasts somehow. They must be coming this way now. We need to hurry."
Now that the spirit sword no longer exerted its suppressive power over them, these beasts were not particularly formidable. However, just thinking about how these creatures could infiltrate the stone walls and attack without any warning made them reluctant to engage in battle.
The three of them leaped outward at an astonishing speed, relying on their memory to head towards the entrance they had come through.
But just as they thought they had shaken off the beasts, a shadow suddenly burst out from the side of the stone wall, heading straight for Wang Long, who was at the front.
With a flash of his sword, Wang Long had not yet sheathed the spirit sword he had just wielded; it came into play perfectly and instantly killed that beast.
Moreover, part of its body was still embedded in the stone wall, rendering it ineffective. A crack appeared on the wall, and blood began to pour out from it continuously.
"Speed up!" Although Wang Long had successfully struck, he felt no joy. He knew that since one beast had managed to chase them here, there would definitely be a second and third one following!
Swish!
Vines flew in from countless forks in the path, surrounding them. And…
Those forks began to move on their own!
"Wait! This isn’t a maze; uh, no, this maze must also be a beast, and a mother body at that! Those beasts are merely hiding within it!" Wang Long finally understood.
Otherwise, how could they have been so easily pursued at their speed? It turned out to be this "maze" playing tricks on them!
Only Wang Long still had a weapon among them, while Jiang Xue didn’t know where to use her Shen Walking Dragon Technique against this colossal creature—attacking its feet wouldn’t do any good.
So the strongest force among them is not Wang Long.
On the ground, the flying vines that Wang Long had cut down were increasing, yet they had barely advanced a hundred steps!
"Strong enemy!" Although they still couldn't see the true form of this beast, they could already sense that it was undoubtedly a rare and formidable foe!
"Roar!" At that moment, terrifying beasts leaped out from the surrounding stone walls, and now their enemies had completed their encirclement!
"Be careful!"
Jiang Xue was now at full strength, and she had gained tremendous benefits from the process of acquiring that spiritual sword. She formed seals with both hands, and a wave of Spiritual Essence spread out.
"Shen Walking Dragon Technique! Six-Faced Mirror!"
"What, why are there so many beasts?" Lin Yuechang, although his strength had recovered enough to deal with such creatures, was still shocked by the sheer number of them.
Seeing that Jiang Xue had managed to restrain all of them, Wang Long knew this was a rare opportunity. He unleashed his sword with all his might, and streams of sword energy formed a net that enveloped the stone walls of the maze.
The entire wall was almost completely broken through, but it quickly restored itself to its original state.
"What the heck, it actually has such abilities?"
"It seems we need to break it completely in one go; otherwise, if we take too long, we will definitely be trapped here," Jiang Xue reminded.
"But its defense is just too strong; even with our combined strength, we can't break through it."
"What do we do then?" Lin Yuechang's face turned pale at this moment. He pitied himself for thinking those elusive beasts were frightening; this maze was truly a place that devoured people without leaving any bones behind!
Wang Long knew that breaking through its defenses at this moment was extremely difficult, but letting himself be captured was even harder!
He once again crossed his sword over his chest and saw two beasts leap out from the stone wall in front of him. Ignoring them, Wang Long concentrated Spiritual Essence at the tip of his sword and struck out!
A strange sensation surged through Wang Long. It felt as if a vortex, similar to the one he had formed with Jiang Xue, was created between him and the spirit sword, emanating a suppressive force that directly affected those beasts!
“Thunder Element Annihilation Sword!”
A wave of Thunder Element Power enveloped the spirit sword, yet there was no sign of rejection from either side. The immense pressure even caused the Stone Barrier of the Maze Beast to tremble, and Wang Long quickly identified its weakness.
With a single slash!
The defensive capabilities of these beasts seemed to be influenced by this suppressive force. Wang Long's powerful Thunder Element Power sliced through, collapsing several massive Stone Barriers in front of him, and all six hidden beasts perished under this strike!
“Charge forward! Don’t hesitate; this maze beast hasn’t suffered any serious damage.” Wang Long remained absolutely calm and did not feel any pride from his successful attack.
The three of them took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward.
“No, we can’t reach the original entrance this way. Even if they remember the path, that Maze Beast can easily modify the forks in the road, leading them back into a dead end.”
“What should we do?”
“Find the entrance where those beasts came from!” Wang Long reacted quickly. “If this Maze Beast was also constructed later by its creator, then the entrance where those beasts entered is definitely not at the peak of this Maze Beast. Watch above us!”
Wang Long analyzed various possibilities at lightning speed and gathered Wind Elemental Power, unleashing a Wind Spirit Wave against the stone wall above them!
Boom!
The ground shook violently, and the entire mountain began to tremble, with countless fragments of rock and stalactites continuously falling from the cave ceiling.
Moreover!
A ray of sunlight streamed in!
"I found it!" Lin Yuechang shouted excitedly, leaping forward towards the cave entrance.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Suddenly, a white figure appeared in front of him, and a water sword slashed down, directly killing the two stone wall beasts that had lunged at him. "If you don't follow orders next time, I definitely won't save you!"
"Uh, yes, yes." Cold sweat broke out on Lin Yuechang's forehead. He could only obediently agree. If previously he had to bow to Wang Long and Jiang Xue due to their connections, this time he felt a bit of gratitude towards them.
"Jiang Xue, take him out first, but be careful; there will be large wild beasts outside the cave. I'll hold them off!" Wang Long felt increasingly adept at using the spirit sword in his hand. Although the Flying Sword still couldn't deal heavy damage to the Maze Beast, it continuously tore through its stone walls, preventing it from pursuing them. As for the beasts that emerged from the stone walls, they were no match for Wang Long's suppressive power; even just the gusts of sword wind were enough to harm them.
As he burst out, Wang Long simultaneously killed the first beast that tried to charge out after them. Outside, just as Wang Long had guessed, many beasts that were "rotating" in search of food were now surrounding Jiang Xue and Lin Yuechang, who had come out first.
However, their strength had fully recovered now; these beasts were no match for them at all.
