My Cell Prison - Chapter 1573: 1571 Encounter

Chapter 1573: Chapter 1571 Encounter

Looking up at the towering maze walls, it seemed impossible to climb over. The physical exertion required might be even greater than navigating through.

“I didn’t expect the inner city to have a maze structure… and it’s a living maze constantly changing.

The consciousness of Eitr must be controlling this place. The deeper into the maze we go, the faster the changes and the greater the danger.

If giants blocked the way, it would only prolong the time spent in this maze.

Let’s see if Green, Kite, and I can combine our efforts to quickly break the maze walls.”

The three of them each employed destructive methods.

At the moment the wall was attacked, nearby life energy surged forth… causing the wall to regenerate faster than their combined efforts could damage it.

Of course,

If Han Dong and the others went all out, they might overpower the regeneration speed.

But expending such energy to merely tear open a section of the wall would be pointless for exploring the maze overall.

“Currently, it seems we have to follow the maze’s design and slowly explore its structure.

Since it’s a game setting, there will definitely be corresponding rules or reference maze points.

Of course, this process might take a long time.

I’ve rarely encountered maze scenarios in ‘Fate,’ so I don’t have much experience.”

Han Dong walked at the front of the group, intending to release the Count to assist in maze exploration.

At the tail end of the group, Kite hesitated like a student wanting to voice an opinion but feeling a bit embarrassed. He hesitantly raised his hand and spoke his mind.

“Um~ I might have a way to position the route of the maze.

But… sigh~ it’s such a troublesome task, feels like my head is about to explode from it.”

Just as he finished speaking,

An irresistible force acted on Kite, dragging his consciousness and pulling him three meters.

Smack!

A leaky hand smacked heavily on his shoulder.

“Kite, if you have a solution, just say it… I don’t want to be stuck in this boring maze.”

Unfazed by Green’s threat, Kite thought if he could be killed, it might be better.

Just then, Kite felt a gaze from the front of the group and looked towards Han Dong leading ahead… He sighed slightly and began to elaborate on his idea:

“I noticed a detail while destroying the wall.

Whether it’s reinforced concrete or mushroom plants, the ‘life energy’ in them deeply rejects me. It should be the [Eitr Liquid] you mentioned… Once I touch them, this liquid quickly flows to other areas.

Therefore, the parts I destroy won’t regenerate, but will be filled in by nearby plants or reinforced stones.

If I can use ‘repulsion’ to find the main direction of life flow, that should be the route to advance in the maze.”

“Kite, I’m counting on you~” Han Dong’s voice closely followed.

Kite scratched his head, “Sigh~ alright… I’ll give it a try, not sure it will succeed.”

When he focused on a task, his murky eyes seemed to discern all directions of movement. Threads of living liquid flowing within the walls were clearly visible to Kite.

As Kite slowly placed his hand against the wall, the moment it touched, the threads of life energy dispersed in all directions.

“No good… the contact area of my palm is too small, can’t judge the main flow direction~ sigh, what a bother.”

Kite stood with his hands on his hips, sighing deeply.

He then directly climbed onto the maze wall, pressing his entire body against it to increase the contact area.

With this, even more living liquid was repelled.

“Got it! This way!”

Kite could clearly observe a large stream of life energy flowing straight ahead.

Thus, with Kite clinging to the wall as a guide, the maze exploration officially began.

Of course, this method could only determine the main flow direction of life energy. During the exploration, they might still take wrong turns into dead ends.

When the path ahead was blocked,

If the direction was correct, it was worth expending some energy to tear open the wall, greatly reducing maze exploration time.

“This time everyone should come together! Focus all attacks at one point…”

As Han Dong gathered the team, Green was already standing before the dead end.

[Domain Expansion]

Even if the field was ‘replicated’ from the main body into the game, it was a weakened version of the lowest level.

The field effect released by Green made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable and dangerous, instinctively backing away.

Small holes began to appear on the ground around Green, from which a chaotic aura slowly seeped.

“Not this stuff again!”

An abyssal life form with arms hanging past its knees and a large hole in its head appeared behind Green again.

The arms lifted,

The hands joined in a circle before it,

From a certain angle, the abyssal life form’s facial hole matched perfectly with the circle formed by Green’s hands… when artistic conception ascended to a certain level.

Buzz!

Accompanied by an ear-splitting sound.

A large hole was dug in the maze wall in front of Green, leading directly to the opposite path.

The entire group immediately crossed the gap at the fastest speed… even when a meter-wide hole was dug instantaneously, the wall completely healed in less than two seconds.

Green took a deep breath, expanded his arms while slowly retracting the field.

Everyone’s gaze toward Green changed, especially Kite, who seemed to have found the easiest way to die.

However, aside from recognizing its strength, Han Dong also noticed a detail.

Green’s breathing rate slightly altered, and some holes on his body expanded and contracted in sync with his breathing frequency.

‘Clearly not an ability easily used… even Green needs to adapt and become proficient step by step. But as long as it’s not used consecutively, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Hopefully, when we reach the final treasure, Green can fully master this power.’

Forcing their way through the dead-end brought them to a three-way intersection.

Kite quickly climbed the wall, sensing the direction straight ahead.

Just as the team was about to continue forward, Sally suddenly stopped and looked toward the maze passage on the right.

“Wait… I think I sense something?”

Sally, stepping with her goat’s hoof, thanks to her bloodline, could detect surrounding vibrations and faintly sense some unusual vibrations, seemingly indicating some living presence.

Upon hearing this, Han Dong immediately released the Count to assist in detection.

“Seems like there really is something…”

“Giants in the maze?”

“It’s just a trace of scent unlike the maze itself, not sure what it is.”

The Count sniffed with all his might, trying to capture the distant aroma, his body automatically moving towards the right passage.

Han Dong also focused his Demon Eye on the depths of the passage.

Suddenly… a beam of silver light pierced into the Demon Eye.

“Watch out!”

Han Dong shouted.

The entire team immediately dodged.

Ow~

A dog’s howl echoed through the maze.

The Count’s body was pierced from head to tail by a fast-moving pure silver arrow, sizzling~ The punctured body kept smoking, pinned firmly to the maze wall.

It wasn’t over! Another fierce silver arrow shot forth.

This time, Han Dong didn’t dodge.

With a cold gaze fixed ahead, he stepped forward.

His right arm opened up the massive G Eye, activating dynamic vision… Snap! He precisely caught the silver arrow in front of him and crushed it.

“Show yourself!”

With Han Dong’s voice echoing through the passage, an Ancient Greek-style team slowly emerged from the right passage.
