Will remember the face of anyone who attacks it, even after a hundred years.

Gao Peng noticed that the chains twined around the monster's left arm were attached to a weapon that resembled an ax. Since weapons exist, does that mean that this world has developed their own civilization?

He exhaled a long sigh.

The Bloodcloth-Labyrinth Watcher slowly walked towards them, its enormous bulk casting a long shadow across the ground.

The shadows started to envelop Gao Peng, engulfing him in darkness.

Gao Peng lifted his head to stare directly into the Labyrinth Watcher's eyes.

”Grrr…” A deep growl reverberated through the maze.

Gao Peng couldn't understand it at all, nor could any of the others.

”Can any of you understand what it's saying?” Gao Peng asked his familiars via their Blood Contract.

Da Zi's face was a mask of confusion, Goldie seemed panicked, Flamy was being a birdbrain, Silly was stoic but offered no explanation, and the Yin Yang Calendula shook its head, which was resting on top of Dumby's head.

”I can kind of understand it,” offered Dumby through the Blood Contract.

Skeletons didn't have vocal organs, as they communicated with other beings by relying on the soul waves emitted by the Flame of the Undead.

”What is he saying?” asked Gao Peng.

”It's asking us how we got here,” replied Dumby in a low voice. ”It said that it had been standing guard at the entrance, so no one could have snuck past its blockade line without alerting it. It also said that if we could tell it about the shortcut we took, it would let us out.”

”Tell it that we don't wish to leave,” Gao Peng instructed Dumby.

Dumby relayed the message.

The Labyrinth Watcher's upper body jerked backward as its eyes widened in shock. ”HMM?!”

There are actually humans who refuse to leave the maze? Eh, humans? These are humans?! The Labyrinth Watcher suddenly had this realization, which made it widen its eyes even more. Humans! How is that possible?

”Roar! Roar! Roar!” The Labyrinth Watcher bellowed in a frenzy. The bloody cloth it was wearing started to emit a blinding crimson light, staining the walls around them the color of blood.

The agitated Labyrinth Watcher smashed the ground with its ax-hammer, creating an ear-splitting boom.

The ground started to quake. Gao Peng could hear similar noises echoing from other parts of the maze.

There was more than one Labyrinth Watcher in this maze!

Gao Peng immediately called out, ”All of you, please return first!”

”What about you?” asked the government official as he hastily directed the men from the two assault squads to retreat via the crevice in space.

He understood that this wasn't the time to dawdle. He wouldn't be of much use here, so he wouldn't be a burden on Gao Peng.
