Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

It is a consensus that the maze was built by an ancient civilization, but substantial evidence has always been very scarce.

Archaeologist Mr. Coro pointed to the mural and said: "In recent years, I have explored the maze everywhere and found a lot of evidence in different but similar structures in different places. Finally, I found such a decisive result."

"Combined with the previous discoveries, I think the maze may be a shelter built by an ancient civilization."

"Shelter?" Fan Wei nodded thoughtfully. Judging from the previous pictures, the ancient civilization had indeed encountered a very terrible disaster, which led to the mass exodus of the entire civilization.

"So the maze was built to avoid some kind of disaster?"

"Yes." Mr. Koro lit the lamp again and looked up at the magnificent mural with awe. "This is the effort made by civilization for survival! But things seem to have changed later."

"The location and function of the Maze Shelter have changed, and some unknown factors have led to it becoming what we see today."

"Is the disaster over?" Fan Wei guessed based on the previous murals.

It originated from a disaster and ended because of a disaster. The maze completed its mission and was abandoned by the ancient civilization. However, this does not seem to explain why the ancient civilization disappeared completely without leaving any information.

"It is also possible that they are completely destroyed." Mr. Koro is pessimistic.

"I studied many of the murals in the back, and it seemed as if I could hear the cries of countless creators in a civilization, who wanted to leave the most intuitive information on the stone and pass on the memory to future generations."

"So what we see may be the remains of a civilization."

The sound echoed in the dark ruins, and everyone felt an indescribable shock, as well as a sense of desolation that transcended time and space.

"What is the truth?"

The female leader of the Map and Dagger Expedition Team murmured quietly, "This is the sense of adventure I want to pursue!"

She smiled brightly. "Discovering forgotten stories and finding forgotten legends is also the mission of us, the messengers of new civilization."

"I heard that there is a building similar to the Ruins Gallery in the lower maze. Mr. Koro, do you want to go and see it together?"

The bespectacled archaeologist smiled bitterly, "It's already my limit to come to one level of the maze. I don't have a talent for fighting, and it would be a waste of my life if I go any further..."

"We will protect you! But it may take some time to hone your skills."

The members of the Map and Dagger Team looked at each other and laughed. This team that was moving forward purely for ideals and adventure made everyone in the Baimu Team quite envious.

They are the real adventurers!

"The next level! I also want to challenge it as soon as possible!" Yani clenched her fists, full of confidence.

The female captain covered her lips and smiled, "Then I'll be waiting for you in the front, little sister! Your team looks great too!"

After chatting for a while and improving their relationship, Mr. Koro took out his pocket watch and smiled: "It's almost lunch time. Are you interested in having a simple meal at the temporary camp where my colleagues and I are staying?"

Naturally, everyone had no objection and followed the archaeologists towards the center of the ruins.

There are several garden-like circular spaces in this gallery-like building, which may have been full of flowers in the past, but are now overgrown with weeds, creating a different kind of vitality.

Amidst the colorful and bright plants, a wooden structure camp stood on a cleared area.

"Please be careful and follow the stone path. We have set traps in other places to deal with active monsters." Mr. Koro smiled and said, "There are many magical things in the ruins."

"For example, slimes can mimic various shapes, such as murals, stones, and even humans. They can also attract prey by calling."

"If you're not careful, you could get caught. However, the imitation of the human form is rather crude and can be seen at a glance."

"Mr. Koro! You're back!" Behind the wooden wall of the camp, a girl in an archaeological team uniform slowly turned around, waved and smiled at everyone.

"Cheryl, I smell bacon ~ my stomach is growling already!"

Koro stepped forward and smiled, his brows twisted and he couldn't help laughing, "Hmm, it seems a little burnt. It seems that everyone's cooking skills need to be improved."

"Okay, I'll keep trying..." The girl named Cheryl just raised the corner of her mouth to respond, and was chopped in the head by Fan Wei's knife.

The splattered mucus splashed on everyone's stunned faces. The girl who was split in two was still speaking stiffly, "Try...try hard..."

Mr. Koro was shocked, "It's a Mimic Slime!"

Before the deceived people could even react, they saw Fan Wei slide down the knife, find the slime's neural brain, and completely eliminate it.

"How did you find out, Van?"

Norma poked the slime that melted into mucus in disbelief and asked in surprise.

Fan Wei put away the kitchen knife full of holes and responded humorously, "Because I can tell at first glance that it is not a human!"

In fact, this girl was in the cooking field, her whole body was dark green, which was a 100% monster performance! He could see through it immediately.

"It's really, really a bit scary. I didn't notice it at the first time..." Mr. Koro had just finished speaking when his face suddenly changed and he rushed into the tent in the camp.

What comes into view is a simple kitchen with a small coal stove, and a few frame beds a little further away.

He kicked the large items in the room and soon found something wrong with a box. He used an oil lamp to burn it and found that the surface of the wooden box was moving backwards, revealing some traces of clothing.

"Cheryl!" the archaeologist screamed and pulled out his companion who had suffocated to death.

The struggling slime was defeated by several adventurers using their weapons.

"No! You are still so young!" Koro said sadly. This was one of the students he mentored, who was sensible and willing to endure hardships.

The most important thing is - "You are the only one in the camp who can cook!"

“…”Everyone was silent. Is this the time to worry about this?

"Haha, sorry to make you laugh. Archaeological work is very dangerous and death is a common occurrence for us. Fortunately, we are in a maze and each of us has a death reserve prepared."

Mr. Koro took out the body bag with ease, wiped the student twice, and stuffed him into the bag, then smiled.

"I may have to go back to the base camp this afternoon. If you don't mind, I'll cook for you all."

Seeing his enthusiasm and thinking about what he just said, 'You're the only one in the whole camp who can cook', everyone smiled politely and shook their heads.

"We brought some dry food and canned food. Please come and enjoy them together." The female captain of the Map and Dagger Team suggested.

She and her teammates spread out the tablecloth and took out many glass and metal cans filled with meat sauces, vegetables and fruits, as well as packages of butter and bacon.

This is a high-end meal for normal adventurers. It is durable and nutritionally balanced. Apart from being large in size and relatively expensive, it has no other disadvantages.

"By the way, what did we bring?" Yani asked subconsciously, just like sharing food during a picnic.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Fan Wei. Westin touched his bag and turned his head with confusion in his eyes.

"Haha, don't worry, I will never let you down!" Fan Wei smiled happily. He felt that the slime in front of him had great potential!

However, in order to prevent everyone from having psychological trauma, he decided to go out and look for it.

There is no shortage of ingredients in the maze, at least for Fan Wei!
