Home of the Brave

Chapter 45: Joy begets sorrow

"Oh oh! It's down, it's down!"

"Ah, you can't run away, the end is a dead end!"

"Wow ha ha ha! Idiot, even the flame slime dare to provoke... oh, can you move?"

"Wow! This is a fierce one, and it killed more than 20 people...Is it a newly added trap?"

Along the dark passages of the maze, Dai Yang and Miranda went retrograde all the way, and soon came to the forefront of the adventurers' struggle. The tragic scene along the way made the beautiful witch look speechless, but her companion was wonderfully excited after entering the maze, looking around happily along the way, without concealing her bad mentality of schadenfreude.

"You guy, can't you be a little sympathetic?" Miranda finally couldn't help but uttered.

"Sympathy?" Dai Yang looked at her inexplicably. "I said, if a group of robbers broke into the temple to steal something, would you sympathize with them?"

"Of course not, but..." Miranda frowned, retorting somewhat weakly. "This and that are two different things."

"The nature is the same. The only difference is that you are the shrine maiden of the temple, and they are the robbers who invaded the dragon's nest." Dai Yang waved his hand, carefully avoiding a dark brown slab under his feet, and turned his head to remind Miranda to pay attention. . "Pay attention to the ground of this color. Below is the mechanism that activates the trap. If you step on it accidentally, you will be in big trouble."

"Oh? What's the big trouble?" Miranda said disapprovingly.

"I'm not kidding!" Dai Yang frowned, trying to make the witch understand the seriousness of the matter. "You have to know that now our position is basically the core area of ​​the maze. The traps set in this maze become more complicated as it goes deeper. Don’t look at the stone slab inconspicuously, but it is the highest in terms of danger level. If you accidentally step on it..."

With that, Dai Yang gestured towards the stone walls on both sides.

"First, the two sides will shoot out poisoned javelins, and then the floor under your feet will collapse... Thirty meters below the floor is a water prison where thunder and lightning jellyfish are tamed. A feast of electricity...If you don’t fall into the trap, other chain mechanisms will automatically start, like what rolling stone tunnel, fire pool hell, man-eating quicksand, etc., each of them is enough to make ordinary people hang up for a hundred There are more than two terrorist organs. What's more troublesome is that the organs will not stop until the intruder is eliminated."

"Well, is that the case?" For the witch who lacks maze adventure experience, it is difficult to give an intuitive impression of Dai Yang's description. But seeing the man speak so seriously, Miranda's attitude was a little serious, carefully avoiding the brown slate.

"However, there are a lot of such places? Are they all organs that initiate traps?"

Miranda looked towards the ground of the maze and found that there were a lot of slabs like the one just now, so she asked curiously.

"More than half of it is just ordinary ground, but this situation is more likely to make people feel paralyzed...huh?"

Dai Yang suddenly turned his head and made a silent gesture. "Be careful, someone is coming."

Dai Yang stopped and hid his body in the shadow of the wall. Seeing the man’s reaction, Miranda also learned the same way. At the same time, he activated the magical powers of the treasure, focusing on catching the sound coming from the front-the "Cangzhi Eye" inlaid in front of her forehead crown is the **** of storm Al The treasure of the bass is not only a link between the witch and the gods, but also has the magical power to expand consciousness. With the help of this magical power, Miranda can capture any movement within nearly 100 meters around it as far as possible. If it is used in combat, it can completely eliminate her perceptual blind spot, even if it comes from behind the attack, it can be easily avoided.

Although currently in the turbulent maze, the ability of "Cang Conscious Eyes" is greatly restricted, but even so, Miranda still accurately grasped the adventurer who was heading here. To her surprise, many of them looked like acquaintances.

"Ah, I didn't expect those three idiots to come here... Is this a silly person?" Dai Yang seemed to have made the same judgment as her, but he seemed rather annoyed.

"Avoid them?" Miranda suggested.

Third-rate people like the True Brave Group are not a threat to the Miko, and Miranda's motive is certainly not out of fear. Rather, in the spiritual realm full of cleanliness of the Duke's daughter, the existence of the trio of fools is closer to the level of slugs. If those boring guys see themselves appearing in the maze with the men around them, they don't know what it will be interpreted as-when thinking of this question, Miranda can't help but feel very concerned.

"Well, even if you leave it alone anyway, those idiots can't go far..."

At this time, the footsteps sounded from the maze passage were getting closer and closer, Dai Yang groaned, and agreed with the witch's judgment.

"Hey, be careful when you retreat, don't step on that slate."

"I know." Miranda replied unhappily, jumping over the stone briskly, and then turned back to the man with a provocative gesture of "I see it? It's nothing at all!"

"...Yes, with Albers' asylum, of course."

"You, don't you think you are my guardian?"

"How dare you, the small one just reminds the eldest lady to pay attention."

"You guy, do you also have this attitude in front of Xia Luwei...Huh?"

Just when Miranda questioned, his left foot suddenly softened. She looked down and saw that a light brown slab was stepping on her feet, and the slab and the surrounding ground were obviously sunken. At the same time, the mechanical sound of "quack" sounded on the walls of the maze.

"This... is this..." Miranda was a little flustered, looking at Dai Yang as if to verify, while the latter smiled weakly.

"Congratulations, Miss, we won the lottery..."

※※※

One second after the slate was stepped on, the masonry on both sides of the maze slipped away quietly, and countless black gun heads protruded from the holes in the masonry, aiming at the two people in the passage.

"Damn...hey, borrow your cloak to use it!"

"Huh? Wait, wait..."

Said it was late, then it was fast. Before it was too late to ask the witch's consent, Dai Yang tore off Miranda's cloak directly. Just hearing a sound of "crash", the witch's cloak suddenly separated from her body, and part of her coat was also torn off, revealing the fair skin of the girl's chest. Miranda screamed and covered her chest. Before she could protest, Dai Yang had already pressed her head to the ground. At the same time, the cloak in the hands of the black-haired youth danced like a windmill.

One of the classic traps of the maze is the Javelin Phalanx! Countless javelins shot out from the stone walls on both sides, and the originally calm passage became a death tunnel for reaping life in an instant.

Every javelin fired by the Phalanx is made by the dwarves, and with the aid of a powerful crossbow, it is sharp enough to pierce the armor of steel. Moreover, since the Maids of the Demon Race have moved into the maze, they have also upgraded the Phalanx. The front of the javelin has been painted with lethal poison from northern Xinjiang. Even if only a little bit of skin is scratched, the result will be lost on the spot. Combat effectiveness.

In terms of common sense, the only weapon that can deal with this kind of terrorist organization is the large tower shield used by heavy infantry, and it has two sides. Protecting the body from left to right, so that it is possible to survive in the javelin phalanx. However, in reality, no adventurer would act with such a blunt and heavy weapon. Therefore, any adventurer who steps on the mechanism basically has no possibility of surviving.

Of course, the above is just for ordinary people. For the black-haired young man who practiced the innocent deity, overcoming rigidity with softness is a realm that has long been free.

Dai Yang took the cloak and danced wildly, with the ghostly posture, quickly unfolding the dominance circle in the maze. The javelin was either blocked by the cloak or kicked. The javelins fired in a dense array for ten seconds. When they stopped, the walls of the passage were covered with a dense layer of gun barrels, but only within half a meter of the wind maiden, no javelin fell.

"This, this is..." Miranda stared at the Javelin Forest half a meter away, almost speechless for a while.

"Hey! Now is not the time to froze!" The first time the javelin stopped firing, Dai Yang threw off the already riddled cloak in his hand, picked up the witch, and then jumped up suddenly.

The classic trap of the labyrinth is a trap in the water! Almost as soon as he left the ground, the floor full of javelins collapsed at the same time. Miranda, who was held in the arms of the man, clearly saw the bottomless abyss below, and couldn't help taking a breath. On the other hand, Dai Yang, who carried the weight of the two people, exerted the light skills to the extreme, stepped on the javelin in the air, leaped up to the rock wall on the left, and then rushed.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

The black-haired youth roared, raising the acceleration to the limit of his body. The acceleration beyond the limit caused him to break free from the shackles of gravity. Holding the panicked maiden, Dai Yang ran out twenty to thirty meters along the wall in one breath, escaped from the trap and jumped back to the ground, and then dashed for almost ten meters. Far away, he barely managed to hold back the high-speed inertia, but he was already sweating profusely.

"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... "That... old bastard, actually designed... such an insidious trap..."

"Ann... is it safe?" Miranda also showed a frightened expression.

As the head of the academy and the chosen witch, Miranda has excellent abilities in both civil and martial arts, but this does not include the subject of maze exploration. Miranda's awareness of the danger of the maze is only limited to the level mentioned in the college curriculum. However, even the most dangerous situation described in the book is not as good as the real feeling of being on the scene. one.

Until now, the heart is still beating wildly. Recalling the thrills just now, Miranda is almost unsure whether she can survive the first wave of Phalanx traps if she is alone. The Duke's daughter felt immensely regretful for her indiscretion, and the strong sense of shy from the bottom of her heart made her almost want to dig a hole to bury herself on the spot.

(If it weren't for him, I would...) Miranda quietly raised her head and looked at the man's angular profile.

(This person is pretty reliable at the critical moment...Huh? Wait, this situation is...)

The shrine maiden who recovered her senses suddenly noticed the fact that she was being held in her arms by a man. Her face was close to the man's chest, the sweat on the man's body soaked her clothes, a hot masculinity rushed toward her face, and almost all the heartbeats like drums could be heard-love for self-cleanliness For the Duke’s daughter, it was the first time that she had such close contact with the opposite sex. Miranda’s face was hot enough to boil eggs in an instant.

"I said Miss..." Without noticing the emotional change of the beautiful woman in her arms, Dai Yang reminded her while adjusting her breathing. "You better grit your teeth."

"...Huh?" The beautiful witch raised her head.

"I just said that? This is the most dangerous chain trap." Dai Yang looked at the sudden hole in the ceiling with a bitter expression.

"The chain trap means that the mechanism will not stop until the intruder is completely eliminated."
