Chapter 89 Strange

"Philal, be careful. Uncle Gillim said that the frequency of the Minotaur patrols traps is not high. We may have to stay in the maze for a while!" Seeing Qin Lun move forward alone, Ilistin reminded him worriedly.

Among their teams, Idriya and she are not good at detecting traps. Qin Lun has a high perception and has a staring halo that can see through. He is a hunter in his profession and is the most suitable candidate for the pathfinder besides thieves.

Qin Lun did not summon Venus and Cyborus this time. Although the Shadow Wind Leopard is very intelligent, it is not its strength to explore traps. The Hellfire Demon Dog is thick in skin and thick in flesh, and is a good thunderbolt. Unfortunately, this guy is too disturbing. If he attracts several Minotaurs at the same time, it will be troublesome.

The radius of the Minotaur maze is nearly two kilometers and covers an area of ​​more than sixteen square kilometers. Logically speaking, with the ability of Qin Lun and others, it does not take much time to detect a complete maze, but it is when the roads in the maze remain unchanged.

Yes, the partition walls inside the Minotaur maze are not only the same style, but also move. Every once in a while, the partition walls inside the maze will change position. It is said that this is the maze, which was given the activation spell by the shamans of the Minotaur clan, and they only have few abyss abilities left.

In the narrow labyrinth passage of the environment, the combat advantages of the Minotaur will be infinitely amplified. It is already extremely powerful, and the environment is small, so the enemy has no place to hide. It can be called the nemesis of magic professions and agile professions.

Qin Lun walked forward carefully along the center of the maze passage. The gaze aura of his left eye shortened his field of view, expanded his perceptual density, and tried his best to detect possible traps. He did not dare to walk along the wall. In addition to the front and back, traps can be installed on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the passage.

According to Gillim's brief introduction, there are roughly three types of Mirtoon's maze traps, flame traps, thorn traps, and rockfall traps. As for whether there are other types of traps, it depends on whether there are suitable trap materials in this dark area.

"Crack... Be careful!" A light sound came from behind the three-person team. Idriya was very alert. She stepped behind Ilistin's back. A huge black shadow drew an arc from the air and hit the female knight's shield.

"Why!" The round steel shield borrowed by the female knight from the dwarf made a loud noise. Idriya was led by a huge force and hit the elf druid behind her. The two of them immediately turned into rolling gourds.

"Are you okay?" Qin Lun retreated from the front, pulled the two people in disgrace, and looked at the things that attacked them.

This is a huge stone hammer with the top of the passage connecting to the top of the passage. It was not triggered when Qin Lun passed by, but the two people behind triggered the trap, so they smashed it down from the top of the passage.

"It seems that your eyes don't work either!" Idriya looked at a sunken steel shield in the center and took a long breath.

Looking at the stone hammer, the three of them looked a little solemn. Idriya did not blame Qin Lun. The shape of the stone hammer was closely matched with the gap in the wall at the top of the passage. It was originally embedded, and the perspective was no different from the ordinary top wall. This was why Qin Lun's gaze halo was hidden from Qin Lun.

"Everyone is vigilant. It seems that the traps made by these miraculous monsters are very clever!" Qin Lun reminded and continued to move forward, but the speed was getting slower and slower. He had reviewed the section ahead several times before he could enter with confidence.

"Philal, what time is it?" After a while, Qin Lun and the other two seemed mentally exhausted. They encountered not many traps, and this place was just the outer periphery of the maze. However, the ingenious design of these traps made the three of them busy every time.

The two most dangerous times were one of the chain traps, which almost trapped Qin Lun himself. Another time, Qin Lun had already discovered that there was no danger, but just happened to encounter the transition from the maze partition wall, and a large stone nail board was smashed towards him, causing the three of them to go crazy.

"It's been two days and one night!" After checking the stay time on the death list, Qin Lun was shocked. Only then did he realize that they were fully focused and completely ignored the passage of time.

"No wonder it's so tired. Let's take a break!" Ilistin sat on the ground regardless of his image, took out dry food and clear water and handed it to the other two. Qin Lun summoned Venus and asked it to patrol the passages that had been explored nearby to avoid being raided by the Minotaur.

It seemed a bit strange! Looking at the two beauties leaning against each other and resting with their eyes closed, Qin Lun had no time to rest. The exploration process over the past two days has been filtered again and again in his mind, slowly allowing him to discover some details he had ignored before.

The traps they encountered along the way were basically all lethal traps. If the purpose of setting up these traps by the Minotaurs is to hunt, wouldn’t it be better to ensure that their prey are trapped alive? Minotaurs are also intelligent races, so they wouldn’t like to eat rotten prey more, right?

Should I contact other teams once? Qin Lun took out a mechanical item in his arms that looked like a walkie-phone, and his eyes flashed slightly.

This thing is the magic communication device handed over to him by Gillim. Although the dwarves are not good at making magic equipment, this short-distance communication device is indispensable.

Dwarf miners build mine caves deep underground and often encounter landslides. This short-distance magic communication device is necessary to ensure that others find survivors. During this expedition, Gillim brought several movies into it.

However, this thing is very delicate and needs to be replaced with energy in a few times. However, the magic crystals inside are special synthetics, and Gillim doesn't have much, so he told Qin Lun before not to use this thing unless he had to need rescue.

Forget it, there is still a lot of time, let’s take a look! Qin Lun hesitated for a moment and put away the magic walker phone. However, after Yilistin and Idriya woke up, Qin Lun told them this suspicious point first.

"Philal, you suspect that the Minotaur in this maze fortress has been attacked by a powerful enemy, so the traps that capture prey have been replaced with fatal traps!" Ilistin took a nap and was much better in spirit. He immediately guessed what Qin Lun meant.

"There is a possibility, but we still need evidence to support it." Qin Lun nodded and said helplessly, "This maze is too complicated. I have basically lost my sense of direction so far. The only thing I know is that according to the density of the number of traps, we are slowly approaching the core of the maze."

Qin Lun's speculation was a bit optimistic. In fact, after this conversation, they still gained nothing in the next two days. Fortunately, the other teams did not activate the magic communication device, which means they were not in an uncontrollable dilemma.

Until the fifth night of the entire exploration process, the magic walkie-talkie that Qin Lun put in his arms finally heard a sound, and the trio on Weiss made a major discovery.

"Feral, and Lord Gillim, we found the bodies of two adult Minotaurs here!"

"The body of the Minotaur?" Gillim's voice didn't sound too surprised. He paused for a moment and also reported his information. "We found a buried skeleton pit here two days ago. It should be the remains of the food leftovers of the Minotaur. It is worth noting that these newly left bones were gnawed very clean. It seems that the Minotaur lacked food supplements during this period."

Qin Lun and the remaining group of dwarves also informed their discoveries, and Gillim quickly came to the conclusion that everyone was guessing.

"The Mirtoise in this maze fortress has just been attacked, and the enemy is very strong. It has invaded the depths of the maze and killed several Mirtoises, causing the weak Minortoises to begin to shrink their defenses, and have not harvested prey during this period."

"Well, and they have also converted the hunting trap into a fatal trap. From this point of view, the invaders are more difficult to deal with than the Minotaur!" Mastasha said with some concern, "Mr. Gillim, you'd better inform the other companions who were guarding outside the maze and let them be careful of potential enemies."

"It has been notified that they retreated to the previous stalactite cave." Gillim said cautiously, "We must be careful. Since the Minotaur no longer takes the initiative to hunt, there is no need for us to act separately now. Let's gather again! In addition, you bring a Minotaur's body and let me check it after the meeting."

"Yeah!" Everyone quickly reached an agreement. Although they were in a maze, it was very easy for them to reunite with the four groups of people. The magic communication device had a simple directional positioning.

Although the straight line positioning will block the partition walls of the maze, since there is no need to worry about disturbing the Minotaurs, they can use violent means to crack it. For a moment, a slight explosion sounded everywhere in the maze.

The four groups of people spent five days exploring the maze before, but now they only had half a day to meet in a straight line, and everyone gathered together. During this process, they did not encounter the Minotaur, which indirectly proved that these monsters had indeed suffered severe damage.

"Hey, this kind of wound... I seem to have seen it before, but I can't remember it!" Gillim frowned when he saw the Minotaur corpse that Weiss brought.

In addition to Gillim, Qin Lun and others were also observing the Minotaur corpse brought by Weis.

The Minotaur lying flat on the ground has a huge body, about 3.6 meters from head to toe, close to the height of two adult humans. Its feet are two thick cow hooves, and two pairs of sharp-cornered cow heads on its head. Now one of them has been broken.

However, unlike ordinary bullheads, their neck to back are covered with mane, making them look strong and domineering and majestic. The bullhead is a carnivorous creature with jagged fangs in its mouth, and the two pairs of sharp canine teeth on the upper and lower jaws are directly exposed to the lips.

The upper body of the Mirtoise is basically the same as that of a human, but it has developed muscles, like a bodybuilder with twice the size of a magnification. It has only three fingers on its palm. In addition to the thumb, the other two fingers are more like the merger of the index finger and the middle finger, and the ring finger and the little finger.

The last thing that distinguishes Minotaurs from humans is that they have an oxtail, which is one of the few weaknesses in Minotaurs' body.

When the Minotaur was still alive, his eyes were bright red and blood-colored, but after he died, it turned into deep darkness, as if it was pure black agate stone.

"It has three fatal injuries, the heart, the back of the neck, and the left eye socket!" Qin Lun looked at the corpse strangely. "From the shape of the wound, it was pierced by some kind of sharp cone, such as a spear, but why does the muscle fibers at the wound turn outward? Could it be a spear with many barbs?"
