Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Chapter 179 The Challenge of the Maze

After solving the phantom creatures in the "treasure cave", Qin Feng and his companions continued to go deeper into the spirit snake cave. During the exploration, they accidentally entered a complex maze, which not only tested their wisdom and teamwork, but also made them experience a series of ridiculous challenges.

After leaving the "treasure cave", the passage gradually became narrow and winding. The four people walked for a long time, the light around them became dimmer and dimmer, and the air was filled with an ancient atmosphere.

"This place is really looking more and more like an ancient tomb." Chu Tian couldn't help but mutter, "I always feel like some monster will suddenly jump out from the front."

Qin Feng joked: "Don't scare yourself. Didn't we deal with the phantom creature just now?"

Ye Li walked in front with a serious look on her face: "But this passage is indeed a bit strange. Everyone be careful and be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time."

Suddenly, the passage ahead opened up, and the four of them came to a spacious hall. The walls around the hall were carved with complex patterns, the ground was covered with strange runes, and in the center was a tall stone pillar with an ancient bronze mirror hanging on it.

"This place looks like... the entrance to a maze?" Zhang Meng said thoughtfully as he looked at the layout around him.

Qin Feng walked to the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully: "This bronze mirror should be the key, but how do we activate it?"

Chu Tian scratched his head and said, "It's a bronze mirror. Just look in it and you'll know." As he said that, he walked to the mirror and made a face in front of it without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, a halo suddenly appeared on the surface of the bronze mirror, and then the entire hall began to shake violently, runes on the ground flickered, and more patterns appeared on the walls.

"You are messing around again!" Ye Li was startled and quickly stepped back. "Everyone be careful, something might happen!"

Qin Feng frowned and looked around vigilantly: "Chu Tian, ​​did you trigger any mechanism?"

Chu Tian looked innocent: "I just made a face, I didn't expect it to be like this!"

Before he finished speaking, the bronze mirror emitted a strong beam of light, instantly covering the entire hall in white light. The four people only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and then they were sucked into an unknown space.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing in a huge maze, surrounded by towering stone walls and with complex and intertwined paths that seemed to have no end.

"This is a big problem." Zhang Meng frowned and said, "We were teleported into a maze."

Ye Li looked around and nodded: "It's a very complicated maze. We must find the exit."

Qin Feng sighed: "It seems that we have to use all our wisdom to get out."

Chu Tian looked at the four directions of the maze with a confused look on his face: "How big is this maze? Which way should we go?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment: "The design of a maze is usually to confuse intruders. We must remain calm and carefully deal with every choice."

Ye Li agreed, "Yes, we can use markers to avoid backtracking, and at the same time pay attention to any anomalies on the path."

"Okay, let's start from here." Chu Tian pointed in a direction casually.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Since you are so confident, I'll listen to you and go this way!"

They walked in the direction Chu Tian pointed. The atmosphere in the maze was oppressive and tense. It was quiet all around, and only their footsteps and breathing could be heard. After walking for a while, they came across a stone wall with several strange patterns painted on it.

"This wall doesn't look like an ordinary wall." Qin Feng frowned and said, "Maybe it hides some mechanism."

Zhang Meng walked forward and knocked lightly on the wall. The wall made a hollow echo, as if it was hollow inside.

Chu Tian said excitedly: "Maybe this is a secret passage! Let's try and see if we can open it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pattern on the wall suddenly began to move, forming a glowing rune. The rune made a slight sound, and the wall slowly cracked, revealing a narrow passage.

"It seems your intuition is good." Ye Li said with a smile, "This is indeed a secret passage."

Qin Feng looked at the passage, nodded and said, "Let's go in and take a look. Maybe this is a shortcut to the exit of the maze."

They walked along the passage for a while and suddenly came to a small room with luxurious decoration. In the middle of the room was a long table filled with all kinds of delicious food and fine wine, which smelled delicious.

"What's going on?" Chu Tian opened his eyes wide, "Did we accidentally walk into some noble banquet?"

Qin Feng looked at the food warily and shook his head: "Something is wrong. It is impossible for delicious food to suddenly appear here. This may be an illusion in the maze, specially designed to confuse us."

Ye Li nodded: "Qin Feng is right, this is probably a trap, we can't take it lightly."

Zhang Meng walked to the table, staring at the delicacies, frowning: "We shouldn't eat these things, but we can't just leave like this. Maybe there are some clues hidden in these foods."

Qin Feng thought for a moment, picked up a piece of bread on the table, put it in front of his nose and sniffed: "The aroma of this bread is too strong, so strong that it's a little unnatural."

Chu Tian couldn't help but ask: "What should we do? These things seem really tempting."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Since these foods are part of the illusion, we might as well do the opposite - destroy them directly!"

Chu Tian's eyes lit up: "You mean, throw away all this food?"

"That's right." Qin Feng nodded, "Let's give it a try."

So, the four began to throw away the food on the table one by one. Strangely, every time a piece of food was thrown away, a new rune would appear on the wall of the room. When they threw away the last piece of bread, the floor in the center of the room suddenly opened, revealing a downward passage.

"It seems we did the right thing!" Zhang Meng said excitedly.

Ye Li smiled slightly: "This maze is indeed full of traps. We must be careful when dealing with it."

Qin Feng nodded: "Let's go, keep moving forward."

Walking down the passage, they entered the second level of the maze. The design of this level was more complicated, with mirrors all over the walls, each of which reflected their images, making the entire space look particularly blurry.

"These mirrors don't look simple." Ye Li said vigilantly, "Be careful, don't be fooled."

Chu Tian walked to a mirror and couldn't help saying, "I look a lot more handsome in this mirror than usual. Could it be that this place has a special beauty effect?"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by appearances. The image in the mirror may deceive us."

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Tian finished speaking, the image in the mirror suddenly moved, making completely different movements from the real him. The "Chu Tian" in the mirror showed a strange smile, as if laughing at their naivety.

"There's something strange about this mirror!" Chu Tian exclaimed, "It actually moves!"

Qin Feng immediately realized the seriousness of the problem: "These mirrors may create false roads, we must choose carefully."

Ye Li nodded: "We can't just wander around anymore. We either have to break these mirrors or find the real exit."

Zhang Meng looked at the mirror and said in a deep voice: "Breaking the mirror may be a good idea, but we must also be careful, in case there is a trap inside..."

"Then let's give it a try." Qin Feng walked to a mirror and tapped the mirror lightly with the Dragon Shadow Sword.

Unexpectedly, the mirror did not shatter. Instead, it made a low buzzing sound, and then the image in the mirror gradually blurred and finally disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that we can break this illusion by breaking the mirror." Qin Feng said, "Continue to break other mirrors and find the real exit."

The four people acted separately, each responsible for a mirror. As the mirrors were broken one by one, the illusion in the maze gradually disintegrated, and finally only one real passage remained.

"Success!" Chu Tian cheered, "We finally found the exit!"

Ye Li smiled slightly: "It seems that although this maze is complicated, as long as we remain calm and wise, we can still overcome it."

Qin Feng nodded: "We have to be more careful next time, the challenge of the Spirit Snake Cave may have just begun."

Zhang Meng clenched his fists: "No matter what difficulties come next, we will face them together!"

The four of them walked into the exit of the maze with confidence, knowing that greater challenges and opportunities awaited them ahead. But as long as they united as one, nothing could stop them.
