Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Thick darkness surrounded them. A few light balls cast lonely lights that could not illuminate the walls at all. There were only strange masks scattered all over the ground. It was like a scene from a nightmare.

"Hey, don't scare me, Fan." Norma clenched the cane in her hand and swallowed nervously.

"I should be seeing things." Fan Wei took a few more steps forward, approaching the edge of the shadow, and a stiff figure gradually emerged with the light.

The slim cloth clothes were already wrinkled, and the leather armor was covered with dust. The figure stood with his hands raised, his fingers shaped like claws due to the force, and his face was full of pain and distortion.

Norma stopped Fan Wei, took two careful steps forward, and poked the corpse's throat with a thin probe.

"Puff..." The tip of the stick seemed to pierce through rotten wood. The head of the corpse cracked and fell to the ground and shattered. There were white fragments mixed in the black, which made Fan Wei feel a little nauseous.

"It's just a dead body. It's been dead for at least a year or two."

Norma breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a zombie creature. Now that Yani was not around, it would be a tough battle for them alone!

But after looking around, no one saw the girl, and he couldn't let go of his worries.

"Where is Yani?" Rody frowned, looking worried.

Uncle Bernoulli comforted him: "It may have been hung somewhere, or fallen into another channel, just like our supply bag."

"Speaking of supply bags, our food is all in them. We won't have anything to eat next. I don't know if we can find a way out of the maze."

"Please tell me some news that won't be any worse."

Norma smiled bitterly, calmed down, took a deep breath, and using her physical strength and speed advantages to quickly run around the area and found the wall.

The small ball of light above their heads emitted light, allowing the few people to see a corner of the dark room.

Masks were densely hung on the bluish wall, like a huge reef covered with barnacles, with countless faces hanging on it, giving people goose bumps.

"What is this?" Norma gestured to indicate that there was no mechanism and poked a mask with her probing stick. She found that it was very strong and could not be poked at all.

"Maybe, some relics?" Rody bent down and picked up a dusty mask from the ground. It felt very light.

He turned around and found that his eye holes, mouth and nose were all sealed, with no space at all to the outside.

"What kind of person would wear a mask like this? Wouldn't it be boring?" The magician took a glance and used his staff to knock the mask away from his feet.

"Dang, Dang, Dang"

The mask collided with the floor with a crisp sound, and then the sound became a little blurred, as if it had hit something flexible.

Fan Wei was stunned, and stepped forward carefully. He found that not far from the wall, there seemed to be figures maintaining various postures.

Their feet were a little damp and there was a certain amount of water vapor nearby.

"There are still some corpses here." He raised his voice and drew his two swords to prevent any accidents.

“That’s not good news…” Uncle Bernoulli said worriedly, “Perhaps the other adventurers who fell here before couldn’t find a way out and had to starve to death here.”

"Don't be so pessimistic, Uncle Bernoulli."

If he encountered a dead end on the first day of entering the maze, Fan Wei would really doubt whether he was the reincarnation of a poor man, as his face was so gloomy.

"Let me check these bodies..." Fan Wei squatted down, trying to find out the cause of their death from the remains.

But just as he got closer, a hand suddenly stretched out and grasped his wrist firmly.

Corpse! The corpse moved!!

Fan Wei's hair stood on end instantly, and without thinking, the big knife on his left came across at him. He couldn't use the heavy knife to chop horizontally, so he only cut off the skinny arm in half, and stood up, pulling half of the masked corpse.

"There's a monster!" He staggered back. There was no way this thing could be alive!

Rody and the others reacted immediately and rushed over to provide support. At the same time, the other corpses that had fallen to the ground also climbed up together, moving silently, like puppets.

Taking advantage of his height, Fan Wei turned around and broke free from the grip on his wrist. Facing the monsters surrounding him, he cautiously took two steps back.

Uncle Bernoulli arrived first. The staff in his hand lit up with flames, and a wall of fire rose up with a bang.

Those undead creatures were isolated and stumbled back, seemingly afraid of the high temperature.

"Low-level zombies? The undead are afraid of positive energy." Rody analyzed and raised his wooden staff. The milky white stone lit up and the warm light spread like water waves.

Fan Wei felt as if he was basking in the warm sunshine, and his body and mind became light, but the zombies seemed unaffected.

Before Roddy and the others could be surprised, the temperature of the fire wall spread out, waking some sleeping creatures from their deep sleep.

"Bang!" The sound of a bottle of sparkling wine being opened, and something came rushing towards him with the wind.

Then there was a intensive firing sound like a salute!

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads towards the source of the sound, and saw "faces" flying over, twisting in horror and weirdness with all kinds of different expressions.

"I understand!" Fan Wei suddenly realized, "The mask is the real body!"

His extensive experience in surfing the Internet made him see through the essence of things. "This is a parasitic mask. Don't let it cover your face."

The team members looked up and saw four red tentacle-like muscle tissues extending from behind the masks, interweaving and pouncing towards them. Uncle Bernoulli quickly shot a fireball, blasting away a group of people, but the follow-up still continued like a swarm of insects.

"Back off!" Rody shouted with difficulty, waving his wooden stick to resist.

The tentacles of these masks seemed to contain paralyzing toxins. The parts touched by them would feel numb, spasm, and loss of strength. If Fan Wei had not pulled them twice, the uncle and Roddy would probably have collapsed and been submerged by the masks.

The four of them fled backwards in a panic.

Fortunately, Uncle Bernoulli raised a wall of fire to block the parasitic zombies and the bouncing masks. After they kept a distance from each other, they gradually calmed down.

“Huh, huh…”

Panting heavily, Fan Wei had just used up most of his energy from the hard chopping and using skills, and he even dropped his kitchen knife.

He unscrewed the kettle and took a sip of water. He tasted the slightly salty taste and realized that Clara had thoughtfully prepared a better solution of light salt water for him.

"It seems like she has never been taught... Did she learn it by herself?" With the corners of his mouth raised, Fan Wei let out a long sigh.

"That's right, this is a kind of mechanical room."

Norma sat down on the ground weakly, looking frustrated and said: "If we can't find the right way to open it, we will be trapped to death and become parasites of the mask."

The heavy news suddenly made the air dull.

Uncle Bernoulli looked like he was about to die. "No... Uncle... I don't want to end this miserable life yet."

Although his cries sounded a bit funny, they made everyone look even more worried.

"Where is Yani..." Rody looked around as if he had lost his soul.

The dangerous situation made him even more worried about his sister.

Fan Wei patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Luo Di. Miss Yani is so skilled, she will be fine."

These words did have a certain comforting effect. Rody nodded and forced a smile. As an adventurer, he would not be able to face danger without a strong and resilient heart.

"We..." he started to say, but suddenly turned his head to the side, as if trying to identify something.

Fan Wei straightened his eyes. He had discovered that Rody had outstanding perception, even more acute than the half-orc Norma, and could predict danger in advance.

"No no no!"

A figure staggered towards him in the darkness, the mask on his face faintly visible, and Roddy's face suddenly changed.

“Yani——!!”

The one approaching from afar was the missing Yani!
