Mythical Invasion of the Heavens

Chapter 72 The True Purpose of Daedalus

After Daedalus finished speaking, Lin Yuan interjected, "Then the son you mentioned, that is, the curse on Icarus, should be related to the Minotaur."

"Yes."

Having said that, Daedalus doesn't seem to know how to express it.

After thinking for a long time, he continued to explain that there was no food and water in the passage, but fortunately, when it was built, there was a reserve of food here for all the workers to eat.

After the maze was built, the King of Crete sent someone to take it away, but he didn't know the way.

In desperation, I had no choice but to give up.

This food saved Daedalus' life at this time. Relying on this food and water, Daedalus and his son began to live in the labyrinth.

The two became bored day by day, so they used all kinds of stones and equipment left in the secret passage to make organs.

Use the mechanism to block the monsters invested by the King of Crete.

It also passed the boring time by the way. During this period, the guardians of the maze kept coming in to find Daedalus.

By the way, according to the king's order, I came to check whether the Minotaur was starved to death.

Every guardian of the labyrinth has committed a crime. They are guilty of meritorious deeds. They will bring paper blueprints. As long as they successfully see the Minotaur and release them, and retrieve the symbolic body tissues, they can leave without guilt .

But they were not surprised, each of them fell into the trap, resulting in death.

Over time, the nine people who paid tribute in Athens became one of the candidates for the wayfinding.

One thing that made Daedalus heartache happened because of this.

A certain guardian of the maze avoided the maze built by Daedalus, successfully reached the core, and released the Minotaur. Unfortunately, he did not know the strength of the Minotaur, and eventually died sadly.

And the released Minotaur, left unattended, went on a rampage in the labyrinth.

Most of the monsters were killed by it.

As the Minotaur approached Daedalus' residence more and more, Daedalus and Icarus couldn't help it. They wanted to kill the Minotaur, or they would die.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly realized, and he said, "You killed the Minotaur, and then Icarus was cursed and became the new Minotaur?"

This is just like that sentence, the brave man who slew the evil dragon finally turned into the evil dragon.

The father and son who killed the Minotaur, the son Icarus was unfortunately cursed and became the new Minotaur.

"Let me guess, is it to prevent you from being injured, your son entered the core area of ​​detention by himself when he was still sane."

Lin Yuan continued, he roughly understood the ins and outs of the whole story.

Daedalus failed to persuade Icarus, who became Minotaur, and the core area was closed again. The organs and keys in the core area were all equipped with magic.

This was what Crete asked for when the maze was first built, and Daedalus could not be contacted.

To prevent Daedalus from freeing the Minotaur.

And this setting, Daedalus did not say anything at the beginning, but now it has become a terrible thing.

Day after day, year after year, there are always no new maze guardians.

Similarly, Icarus was underground, and there was no news at all, which made Daedalus very anxious.

Until Lin Yuan and his group came, Daedalus had new hope.

[Hidden Mission: Rescue Icarus (Opened)]

【Main quest has been changed】

The messages sent by the system are still timely as always

The situation is generally clear, Lin Yuan looked at Daedalus, and said silently: "If we release the Minotaur directly, what will be the consequences?"

"After being hungry for so long, the first thing I did when I came out was to eat you."

Looking at the four of them, Daedalus shook his head and said, "The Minotaurs in their heyday, you can't beat them, we also took advantage of that time."

No, if so, then the task difficulty should have increased.

Next, there should be changes.

Sure enough, Daedalus continued: "If I were here, I believe that Minotaur would hesitate. After all, he is a relative. No matter how bad it is, I have a way to trap Minotaur."

That said, Daedalus is actually still a buffer zone.

The way to restrain the Minotaur is the magic circle, so it can be seen that Daedalus still knows a little magic.

It may also be a mechanism that was set up when it was built.

Therefore, Daedalus is actually the key to reducing the strength of the Minotaur, Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

If Daedalus does not come out, let the Minotaur go free, and a severe battle must await them.

Lin Yuan held two keys and carefully inserted them into the mechanism.

With the rotation of the cylinder, the mechanism on the ground is opened, and a large stone slab rises in the center of the circular square.

A dark hole was revealed.

There was a staircase diagonally downward at the entrance of the cave. The fat man was about to rush down, but Lin Yuan stopped his action. This was to release the Minotaur, not to challenge it.

If you rush down in a hurry, you can only court death.

Is there no way to break the curse? Lin Yuan is very helpless. According to Daedalus, the Minotaur's actual strength is far beyond F-class, maybe E-class.

"Bang, bang!"

"Bang, bang!"

The sound was like a bell, and the ground trembled. It seemed that the Minotaur had discovered that the exit was open and was walking towards this side.

Daedalus tensed up and took a few steps back towards the perimeter.

Lin Yuan stared at the entrance of the cave, wanting to see the true face of the legendary monster for the first time.

Scattered sparks emerged from the hole, and a monster with scarlet eyes, a bull's head and a body, nearly three meters long, revealed its true body. Its body was dark, and it was dressed in tattered linen cloth, covering several key parts of the body.

It held a long double-sided ax in its hand, which was two meters long and looked rather heavy.

It is reported that this long ax is also the Minotaur's own weapon. It is considered a special ability. He brought this weapon with him after he was born.

"Roar!!!"

Seeing the long-lost sunshine, the tauren roared, spouting sparks from his nose.

Finally, more and more sparks were ejected, forming a flame.

Minotaur lowered his head, his eyes became scarlet, and he looked at his father, Daedalus, at first sight.

Lin Yuan thought that he could see a scene of confessing relatives, but who knew that Minotaur swung his big ax and slashed down hard, causing a big hole in the ground.

Daedalus rolled on the spot and ran away.

Fortunately, it's not E-level, it's the top level of F-level, but the four players were ignored by Minotaurus, it seems that Minotaurus only stared at Daedalus.

This made Lin Yuan very strange, but he didn't care so much.

Immediately lead the three people to catch up, Minotaurus is their target to kill, they must not lose their tracks, otherwise how will they find him in the maze.

The three chased after him closely, and Qiao Bailang had already turned into his original form and rushed to the front, but compared with the Minotaur, he was slightly smaller in size.

Facing the beating by several people, Minotaur roared, and red light appeared all over his body, and the light nullified all attacks.
