Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After passing the dream bowling competition, Qin Feng, Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li and Zhang Meng all knew that the real challenge had just begun. The cat lord repeatedly warned them that the next "ultimate game" would no longer be a lighthearted and funny competition, but the most complex and challenging test in the dream.

"The ultimate game, it sounds like it's not easy." Chu Tian rubbed his hands, feeling a little nervous and expectant. "But no matter what it is, we've been through so much, we won't be scared, right?"

"I hope there won't be any crazy bowling or dancing bottles this time." Ye Li chuckled. Although this game made her feel quite absurd, her mentality was much more relaxed than at the beginning.

"No matter what the challenge is, we will definitely win." Qin Feng said in a deep voice with a firm gaze. He was ready to face the ultimate trial of the Cat Lord.

The four of them walked through the exit of the bowling alley, and the scene in front of them suddenly became blurry. The air was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, and the surrounding scene slowly turned into a gloomy fog. In the fog, some strange building outlines were faintly visible, and they sometimes looked like tall city walls, and sometimes like giant cat statues.

"Welcome to my ultimate game - Giant Cat Maze!" The voice of the Cat Lord came from the fog with a malicious smile, "This time, you will enter an extremely complex maze. There are countless passages and traps in the maze, and you need to find the correct exit. Remember, every choice will determine your fate. If you take a wrong step, you will be lost in this maze forever, meow hahaha!"

"Maze?" Zhang Meng opened his eyes wide, obviously a little reluctant, "Do we have to go around and around to find the exit? I hate this kind of path-finding game the most!"

"Don't underestimate the maze." Qin Feng said calmly, "The cat lord's games are never so simple. There must be more traps hidden in this maze. We must be vigilant."

As the cat lord's voice disappeared, the fog gradually dissipated, and the four found themselves standing in front of the entrance of a huge maze. The walls of the maze were towering into the sky, and the walls were covered with various complex carvings, many of which were images of cats. The floor of the maze was paved with stone bricks, and each stone brick was printed with strange symbols, as if hinting at something.

"Let's go, we have no choice." Qin Feng took the lead into the maze, followed closely by Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li and Zhang Meng.

After entering the maze, the air around them seemed to become more oppressive, and the four people felt a vague sense of crisis. They began to move forward carefully, paying attention to the symbols on the ground and walls with every step, trying to find any possible clues.

However, it wasn't long before they came to the first fork in the road.

"Left or right?" Chu Tian frowned and looked at the two passages. The ends of the passages were shrouded in darkness and no clues could be seen.

"Every path may be correct, or it may be a trap." Ye Li said calmly. She looked at the two passages carefully and found a cat's paw print engraved on the left wall, and a smiling cat's face on the right.

"The Cat Lord likes to play pranks. I think there must be something wrong with that smiling cat face." Zhang Meng analyzed seriously with a very serious expression.

"We should take the left path." Qin Feng nodded. "The claw marks may symbolize safety. The smiling cat face is too weird. It may be a trap."

The four of them decisively chose the left path. Not long after they walked out, the wall suddenly began to shake violently, and a huge cat statue poked its head out of the wall, as if observing their every move. With every step they took, the statue's eyes would emit a faint light, making people feel uneasy.

"These statues seem to be watching us." Chu Tian muttered softly, looking up at the cat statues uneasily.

"Don't be distracted, we have to focus on finding the exit." Qin Feng said in a low voice. Although he also felt the gazes of these statues were piercing, he knew that they could not be distracted by it.

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard a low "meow" sound coming from a distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if some huge monster was approaching. Then, the walls on both sides of the passage began to slowly close, as if to trap them inside.

"We have to hurry!" Zhang Meng shouted and quickened his pace, but there was still no exit at the end of the passage.

Ye Li suddenly had an idea and pointed to the ground and said, "Look at the symbols on the ground! Those cat paw prints may be guiding us to the right route!"

Sure enough, the barely noticeable cat paw prints on the ground gradually formed a branch road leading to the right. Qin Feng immediately directed everyone to turn to the path on the right. Sure enough, this path was much wider than the one they had taken before, and the pressure of the wall was instantly reduced.

"These claw marks are key clues. It seems we need to pay more attention to details." Qin Feng analyzed.

After continuing to follow the paw prints, they came to the second part of the maze. This time, they saw a huge empty hall with a huge cat statue in the middle. There were four huge buttons under the statue, each with a different symbol engraved on it.

"Do you want us to press the correct button this time?" Chu Tian looked at the buttons with a puzzled look on his face.

"This must be a test." Qin Feng walked forward and carefully observed the symbols on each button. He found that the symbols on the four buttons were a cat's tail, paws, ears, and whiskers.

"How about I try pressing one at random?" Zhang Meng raised his fist and made a gesture as if he was going to press a button.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Li hurriedly stopped Zhang Meng, "We can't press it casually. Every choice in the dream has consequences."

Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, these symbols must have specific meanings. When the cat lord appeared before, he often used paw prints as a guide. Maybe this time is the same. We should choose the button that represents the paw."

"That makes sense." Chu Tian nodded in agreement.

Qin Feng walked forward and carefully pressed the button of the claw. The button emitted a faint light, and then the ground of the entire hall suddenly shook violently, but then a hidden door slowly opened from the wall.

"Success!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, "We found the exit!"

The four of them quickly passed through the door and came to the last part of the maze. What appeared before them was a huge circular arena, and in the center of the arena stood a huge mechanical cat statue, as if waiting for them.

The voice of the Cat Lord sounded again: "Welcome to the final test! You will face my ultimate guardian - the mechanical cat! Defeat it, and you can get out of this maze!"

As soon as the words fell, the mechanical cat's eyes suddenly flashed red, it let out a deafening "meow", and then pounced on the four people.

"We have to fight seriously this time!" Qin Feng gripped the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

The mechanical cat's attack power was extremely strong. Every time it attacked, it brought a heavy impact. The field was full of cracks left by its scratches. Ye Li quickly opened the ice road to slow down the mechanical cat's movement speed, while Chu Tian used his soul power to form a protective barrier to block its frontal attack.

Zhang Meng used his great strength to fight the mechanical cat head-on. He waved his fists and used all his strength to attack the key parts of the mechanical cat. Qin Feng quickly went behind the mechanical cat, looking for its weakness, ready to give it a fatal blow.

After a fierce battle, Qin Feng finally caught the flaw of the mechanical cat and stabbed it in the core with a sword. The mechanical cat let out a shrill "meow" and then fell down with a bang, completely paralyzed.

"We won!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly.

As the mechanical cat fell, a beam of light leading to the exit appeared in the center of the arena, and the voice of the Cat Lord sounded again: "Congratulations on passing my ultimate game! However, the fun of dreams is far from over. See you next time, meow hahaha!"

The four people passed through the light and finally walked out of this giant cat maze full of fantasy and challenges.
