115 Exploration (1/2)

After extracting the crystals, Ye Qin and Wang Tao decided to head deeper inside the underwater ruins. Stepping through the other side, lights from torches were lit on their own as if anticipating their arrival.

The two brothers turned off their flashlights and looked around. Judging from how the walls were, it was obvious that they were in a maze. The walls were close together only allowing four meters of space along the way, barely being able to fit both the boys.

Ye Qin turned on his flashlight and looked around the ceiling for a few seconds.

”...”

”...”

”Whatever made this didn't consider such a loophole huh.” Wang Tao spoke.

Ye Qin nodded as they both shook their heads and took flight.

The two went separately around the maze. Along the way, some monsters appeared which they wiped out, while not a single bit of treasure could be found.

Even after searching through the entire maze, they didn't find anything besides monsters and walls. On the bright side, there were many monsters around the maze, not only that, they seemed to spawn infinitely.

Since that was the case, the two had a good idea.

Wang Tao's Blackgold Python Tiger filled the entire maze with an endless amount of golden frost that would continuously drop down onto the monsters that spawned for a certain amount of time.

Ye Qin did the same, the dragons created an endless flow of flames along every single corridor, making sure it didn't conflict with the frost. Once the two were satisfied, they dropped down to the maze' exit and opened the door.

Next to the door, there was a wooden sign with a skull face along with a red nose. The sign didn't appear to be too old which meant somebody has had to have been there not too long ago.

Pushing the door open, they went through and found another maze with the exact same design but obviously had a different layout.

”...”

”The same loophole still exists...” Wang Tao commented.

The two boys did the exact same thing they had done in the previous maze. Again, there was no treasure to be found, but monsters still spawned infinitely. Yet again, they employed the same tactic by covering the entire maze in a field of fire and ice that continuously killed monsters while they were away.

This time, the sign showed the same skull with a red nose, but now a rainbow wig was drawn on the sign. Seeing this, both Ye Qin and Wang Tao's faces darkened.

”At this rate, we'll have to keep doing this until the entire body is revealed.” Wang Tao said.

”En, this will take some time, let's just skip through and don't worry about looking for any treasure.” Ye Qin replied.

”Right.”

Opening the door, another maze was seen. The two went straight ahead where the door to the next maze was. For some reason, every maze had the exit in the exact same place as the previous one.

This time, sunglasses was painted on the sign next to the door.

**********

After passing through dozens and dozens of mazes that were almost exactly the same, the entire body of the skeleton was revealed. The two had finally made it after over ten hours of passing through mazes, fortunately, the endless monsters that spawned gave each of them a single level while the Blackgold Python Tiger was close to leveling up a second time.

Even though the monsters that spawned were only around level 30 individually, the sheer number of them gave millions of xp for them to level up.

At this point, almost all of their monsters were close to level 40.
