In fact, this assassination was just an idea that Xin Sheng came up with a brief encounter.

The Minotaus Altar is a semi-confined space. Once you jump into the maze below, it is basically impossible to return the same way.

In addition to the swordfish who is responsible for the leader and comforting the hearts, in order to prevent the mercenaries from rebelling again, Hydra and Melite have a high probability of staying on top of the surveillance and finally jumping.

Their caution actually gave Xin Sheng the opportunity to play tricks.

The moment Melite was about to take off, Xin Sheng suddenly shot his knees with a cold arrow. Melite, who had no time to adjust his posture, would definitely fall into the deep pit.

Melice's scream before his death woke Minotaus, who was sleeping deep in the maze. The mercenaries trapped in the maze and could not escape would naturally be attacked by Minotaus who came by.

As for Hydra, his ending was destined from the beginning of the plan.

After the light of the torch disappeared, Xin Sheng and Nima, who were standing at the end of the altar, could only capture the movement below through hearing.

At first, you could hear Belos' unyielding roar and fighting sounds, but as the sound of sharp weapons tearing the body more and more frequently, the labyrinth gradually returned to peace.

"Moo!"

Minotaus roared excitedly in the dark maze, and then returned to the nest deep in the maze with heavy footsteps.

Smelling the strong bloody smell floating up from below, Nima's expression was not very good-looking.

"Are we going down?"

“Wait a little longer.”

Xin Sheng closed his eyes and covered his nose, and by closing his vision and smell, he focused most of his attention on hearing.

"Dong~Dong~"

"Boom~"

The sound of footsteps gradually stopped, and a slight roar came from the depths of the maze. Minotaus, who had ended his hunt, sat on the ground.

After waiting for another five minutes and confirming that there was no movement in the maze, Xin Sheng took the lead in standing up.

"I'll go down to explore the situation first. If there is no danger, I'll light a torch as a signal."

After the explanation was completed, Xin Sheng, who was standing at the end of the altar bridge, stretched out his arms and spread outwards, posing as a jump of faith and jumped gently.

During the process of falling in a standard water-entry posture, the howling wind blew past Xin Sheng's ears, and the dark environment at the bottom made him feel a little uneasy.

"Plop~"

Since Xin Sheng deliberately adjusted his posture and reduced the area of ​​water inlet, Nima, who stayed above to observe, could only hear a very slight splash of water.

After dragging his wet body out of the pool, Xin Sheng endured the strong smell of blood coming from nearby and squatted in the corner of the pool room and waited silently.

"Tick~Tick~"

At the entrance of the dark and silent maze, Xin Sheng could only hear the faint sound of water dripping from his clothes falling on the ground.

Minotaus, who had just completed a killing, seemed to be satisfied. Xin Sheng squatted in the dark environment for several minutes without hearing any movement.

After the torch as a signal was ignited, Nima quickly jumped off from above.

While Nima was throwing away the excess water, Xin Sheng took a torch to find Melitta, whose head was on the ground, his body broke into two pieces from his waist, and Belos, who was half kneeling on the ground and half of his head was cut off.

"Dust returns to dust, and the soil returns to earth, rest in peace."

Take out the artifact fragments from the three of them, and Xin Sheng immediately called Nima to leave this purgatory on earth and officially enter the maze area guarded by Minotaus.

Since this time I was about to jump into the deep pit of the maze, Xin Sheng did not bring his animal companions in.

Dahuang, Daedalus and Pegas are all waiting in the woods outside the ruins, only Xin Sheng and Nima sneak in light clothes.

Without rushing to explore deep into the maze, the two of them first set a fire on the spot and prepared to dry the wet clothes on their bodies.

Fortunately, it was already midsummer, and the clothes on the two of them were relatively cool.

Although Nima herself didn't care much, while taking off her clothes and drying, Xin Sheng still carried forward the style of a modern gentleman, turned her head and turned her back to the bonfire, and focused her attention on the system panel.

“Exposure value: 25%”

It took a lot of time to sail from Chios to Crete, and the exposure value continued to rise.

Xin Sheng is still unable to determine what standard this value has risen, but based on observations during this period, time seems to be one of the important influencing factors.

If other accidents are not triggered, the exposure value will increase significantly, Xin Sheng will not be able to stay in the Odyssey world for at most 1 year.

In one year, if it is almost impossible to complete the Peloponnese War that lasted for nearly a hundred years, Xin Sheng is already prepared to give up this main task.

According to the prompts given by the system before, if the main task fails, you will be punished and a certain amount of energy points will be deducted.

It is not possible to know how much deduction will be. In order to prepare for the future, Xin Sheng plans to find as many artifacts of Eden scattered throughout Greece as possible this year.

As long as you add enough, you don’t have to worry about the consequences of the failure of the main task. At least the system does not propose that the failure of the task will erase the host’s cruel request.

During this voyage across the north and south of the Aegean Sea, under the active guidance of Barnabas, Xin Sheng was steering and commanding the crew almost the entire journey.

With the guidance of famous teachers and long-term practical operations, Xin Sheng's boat driving skills have improved rapidly, and now he has reached level 4.

‘Why is the bow technique still level 5…is it so difficult to break through?’

"pungent."

Nima's low-key reminder interrupted Xin Sheng's "trance". After closing the series interface, he turned around and looked at Nima.

At this time, Nima had already put on her clothes and armor, and knelt on the ground and pressed her ear on one side to the ground.

"What's wrong?"

"There is a sound of living water flowing underground. After killing Minotaus, maybe we can follow the groundwater to find the exit of the maze."

Xin Sheng packed up his clothes and put on Artemis armor.

"Then let's go and see the style of Minotaus, the king of the labyrinth."

...

The underground maze covers a very large area. If you run around without purpose, you may lose your way in the vast maze.

Minotaus, who returned to the nest, inadvertently guided Xin Sheng and Nima in the right direction.

The mercenaries who were brutally slaughtered before dyed Minotaus's hooves red with their blood, and two bloody hoof prints extended all the way to the depths of the maze.

"Hop!"

When I jumped over a collapsed passage and came to an open door, thunderous snoring came from the hall.

Nima used gestures to signal Xin Sheng to drag his back and support him, and bent down and sneaked into the hall first.

In the entire maze, only Minotaus's nest was shining.

These lights did not come naturally, but came from the stone pillars in the hall, which seemed to be an eternal light with infinite energy.

A huge humanoid creature with a height of more than 3 meters lying horizontally in the center of the hall, and many gray-white skeletons can be seen nearby.

Judging from the shape of the skull of the nest, these wrecks are all from humans, and one of them still has a lot of blood and unchecked minced meat.

‘Hait~’

Nima, who was walking in front, almost vomited and made a sound, and Xin Sheng's face was not very good-looking.

This fresh bone was obviously from a mercenary who had just died.

Minotaus, who had enough food and drink, lie comfortably in the hall, but it did not completely relax and alert.

The huge Minotaur still held his battle axe in his hand even when he was asleep.

“Moo?”

Nema asked herself that there was no movement, but when she approached five meters beside Minotaus, the sleeping tauren suddenly opened her eyes alertly.

Minotaus' eyes shine naturally like light bulbs. It is speculated that there is some energy in the body that supplies energy to it.

"roar!"

An enemy dared to break into his nest. Minotaus quickly woke up from his sleep, stood up with a battle axe and roared angrily.

Its hooves were rubbing backwards like bulls. Xin Sheng, who had only seen the ecology of the buffalo herd not long ago, immediately understood its plans.

"Do not! It's going to charge!"
Chapter completed!
