Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Chapter 16 Breaking the Trap

"It's right there." Returning to the place where he had encountered the mask before, Fan Wei pointed to a corner of the wall.

Before, there were several corpses of adventurers parasitized by masks lying there. Now it seems that it is not a coincidence. Parasitic masks are also living creatures. They also need to eat and replenish water.

Judging from the results of consumption, the mask's body tissue has no teeth, and it should survive by filtering moss plants, minerals, and magic elements in the air.

Their parasitic behavior is probably just like the spread of seeds by plants and the migration of tumbleweeds, which is for the purpose of reproduction and survival.

"There is moisture here, so the parasitic masks gather here."

Fan Wei pinched his chin and whispered, "Judging from the number of water filling the wall, there must be a large water source behind it, otherwise it would not be able to meet such a large demand."

Upon hearing this, Norma immediately lay on the ground and used a thin metal device like a small bowl to put on the ground and listen attentively.

"There is the sound of flowing water! And the sound of a mechanism turning!"

The answer is already very obvious. The mechanism that drives the entire stair trap is hidden behind this wall and is reset back and forth by the power of the water flow.

“The question now is, how do we break through that wall?”

The walls of the maze are not made of paper. Each brick is very hard and thick. Ordinary magic and attacks cannot break through it. Only adventurers at least level ten can do it.

There are also a large number of parasitic masks on the walls, and if you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out.

Fan Wei thought carefully for a while, and said seriously: "In order to drive such a large mechanism, the water flow behind the wall should be quite large."

"Such a large amount of water will inevitably bring pressure to the wall. We just need to find the point that bears the greatest pressure, and then combine the attack with Uncle Bernoulli's fireball technique, and we will have hope of breaking it!"

This suggestion was obviously the only way at the moment. Everyone nodded and agreed to follow Fan Wei's method.

Norma lay back on the ground again, listened carefully to identify where the water flow was the strongest, and calculated the point of concentration of force in her mind.

"It should be there!" She suddenly pointed to a place where densely packed parasitic masks were almost clustered together.

"Uncle Bernoulli, you bombard it with the fireball first, and I will use my armor to hold it off, and then go over to attack the wall tiles." Fan Wei held the diamond-shaped iron plate he had used for cooking on his back and held the kitchen knife tightly in both hands.

"I will go with you."

Yani drew out her rapier, looking extremely serious, "As long as they are prepared, those masks won't be able to break through my attack in a short time."

Her light and swift swordsmanship was indeed suitable for dealing with such small enemies. Fan Wei nodded heavily, and saw a fire light up on Uncle Bernoulli's staff.

"Swoosh——" a fireball with a tail of flame flew towards the wall in the dark.

Boom! Most of the parasitic masks that were clustered like screws were blown away. Fan Wei and Yani rushed over, and Rody emitted a ball of light to illuminate them.

That's it. Finding the spot Norma pointed out, Fan Wei raised his arms and used all his strength, "Chop with a heavy knife!"

After many swings, he became proficient in the use of skills. He no longer used brute force alone, but coordinated the movements of his body, including his pectoral muscles, biceps, and breathing, using all his strength together!

Large pieces of slag suddenly splashed out. This is the connection between the bricks!

The huge recoil force made Fan Wei's palm numb, and he felt a sense of heat and cold pain, but he gritted his teeth, raised his arm again, and chopped down.

The parasitic masks began to revive. The fire explosion just now and the obvious noise made by Fan Wei stimulated their biological instincts.

The masks stretched out red tentacles, slowly rose and fell, and then fell down like dumplings.

"Fan, Yani, retreat quickly!" Rody shouted from behind. Fan Wei quickly stopped and ran back with Yani.

There was a subtle sound above my head. Parasitic masks have no eyes or ears, so they rely on touch to sense the location of their prey. Their attacks can be said to be quite accurate.

Yani suddenly stopped, swung the sword and stabbed out like raindrops, chopping off and piercing the masks one by one, clearing the pressure of excessive numbers.

After a while, the two escaped back to a safe place.

"It feels feasible, Uncle Bernoulli, you should try it again." Based on the feedback from the feel, Fan Wei judged that this action was really promising.

The uncle raised the wand again, focused on the gap created by the chop, and a fireball flew out.

"Boom!" The explosion effect was significant, and very obvious cracks could be seen appearing on the wall tiles.

"Again!"

The two men rushed out again, and with their powerful chopping and smashing, the bricks that had already been broken inside fell apart, and a faint stream of water seeped out from the deep.

The water pressure was definitely concentrated at the back. Fan Wei cautiously took Yani back and left the blasting work to Uncle Bernoulli.

"Haha, Fan, how about we make a bet? Within three shots, I will blow down this wall!" Uncle Bernoulli said with a smile, holding his magic wand.

Fan Wei's answer was more straightforward, "I bet on two shots."

Practice makes perfect. When the first fireball flew, the wall shook from the inside and a light vapor rose up.

The second fireball hit, and there was a loud bang! A turbulent torrent directly broke through the wall and roared out!

"Everyone, retreat quickly!" Baimu's team moved back dozens of meters, avoiding the impact of the surging water flow, and waiting for the water to slowly pour out.

After five or six minutes, the water in the hole was finally drained out, leaving only a stream-like trickle, and a hole several tens of centimeters high was left on the wall.

"Success~" Cheers of joy echoed in the space.

Fan Wei approached slowly. The parasitic masks around him seemed to have decreased a lot due to the previous impact of the water flow. They relied on water, but seemed to be unable to avoid too much water.

The small light ball was lit and put in. Norma, who was the smallest in height, went into the cave first. After she gave a signal of safety, the rest of the people went in one by one.

There was the roar of machinery in the ears, and when the light floated upwards, this mezzanine, which was not very wide, appeared tall in everyone's eyes.

Horizontally rotating mechanical rods connected to huge gears make a constant clicking sound, and the splashing water makes a gurgling sound, driving the waterwheel-like structure to move back and forth from top to bottom.

"This is considered internal affairs of the organization." Norma was shocked. She had been studying and working in this field for three or four years.

This is the first time I have seen such a huge and amazing creation. No matter the design or the scale, it can be called a wonder!

"How boring that ancient empire was to build such a big thing just to cheat people." Fan Wei spread his hands and sighed helplessly. He really didn't understand the minds of people from the other world. This was not a big tomb.

"That's true." Norma smiled. "I need to analyze the structure of this mechanism, so I need to climb up. You guys wait for me down there."

"Okay, Norma, you must be careful." Roddy said solemnly.

"Don't worry." A confident smile appeared on Norma's face. She put her index and middle fingers together and raised her thumb diagonally in front of her chest.

"This is our Halflings' specialty!"

She grabbed the horizontal bar structure and climbed up easily, soon reaching the central connection of the machine.
