"Okay! It's just that my cultivation level is low. If I take a wrong step, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the attack of this maze passage, so I don't dare to risk myself!"
Ye Fan had long expected that the martial kings would eventually come to ask him to lead the way and did not refuse.
His eyes swept across the martial arts cultivators and landed on Gu Xinyue: "Master Gu Pavilion! Among all the martial arts kings, I am afraid that your strength is the strongest. Why don't you go in front of me and help me verify it?!"
Gu Xinyue couldn't help but glance at Mark secretly and rolled her eyes.
It is true that Ye Fan is a Marquis of Wu and cannot withstand the attack of the ancient labyrinth.
But she is also a Marquis of Wu, so she is not much stronger!
But Mark asked her to go to the front, and she couldn't find an excuse to shirk.
In the eyes of the leaders and elders, Gu Xinyue, the master of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, is a top martial king with unfathomable strength. Even Fan Ran, the leader of the Hongyi Gang, was killed by her with one blow. This strength is definitely the best among the martial kings.
"Are you sure?"
Gu Xinyue and Ye Fan passed each other and asked with their eyes.
Mark nodded slightly to reassure her.
He has a complete map of this floating island snake-swallowing battle maze, and he knows the situation of this palace very clearly.
Even if he hadn't, his ability to decipher the laws of the maze was far greater than that of Tao Yuan and others.
Gu Xinyue felt a little relieved, but for the sake of caution, she had to make other preparations.
Her figure flashed, and she had a pair of high-level battle armor made of the fourth-level ice python beast king's scales on her body. The ice scales tightly wrapped her whole body, making it airtight.
With this high-level Beast King-level armor, even if she is bombarded by the maze, she can easily withstand it several times without exposing her true strength.
Ye Fan's eyes lit up and he admired secretly.
Gu Xinyue was wearing ice python armor at the moment. She was a little less graceful, but more heroic. The tight-fitting armor showed off her beautiful and concave and convex contours. Her temperament was so beautiful that it made people's hearts beat.
…
"Can Ye Fan do it?"
"It's hard to say! No matter how accomplished he is in machine relations, can he be stronger than the five martial kings put together by Master Tao Yuan? Let's see how he feels about himself when he is embarrassed!"
The martial kings retreated behind Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue, looking at Ye Fan with various complicated eyes. It was hard to tell whether it was jealousy or disapproval of arrogance.
Ye Fan's martial arts cultivation is naturally not as good as these martial kings.
They have enough sense of superiority.
But in terms of other abilities, such as the sacrificial system, the beast control system, and even the machine branch of the weapon refining system, Ye Fan far surpassed them, leaving even the Martial Kings behind them. So much so that Ye Fan, a mere Wuhou, had a higher reputation than most of them.
Ye Fan stood at the front, looking at the rock walls and stone slabs of the passage within a hundred feet in front.
As a maze, there are naturally hints. It's just that these tips are either obscure, complicated to calculate, or designed with a lot of knowledge in mind.
Every time you walk a few stone slabs, there are new puzzles, the variety of which is dazzling.
Ye Fan quickly cracked it.
He just pondered for a moment, spent a few breaths to solve a puzzle, opened his mouth and reported a series of numbers, saying: "Seventh, second, third...tenth!"
What he reported was the position of a stone slab that could be stepped on.
Gu Xinyue followed his instructions, stepped on different stone slabs, and moved forward quickly.
What shocked her was that after taking more than ten stone slabs in succession, there was no mistake in any of them.
So, Ye Fan probably has a map of this battle maze? !
She couldn't help but feel secretly happy. If this was true, then Ye Fan would probably use this battle maze to get rid of the martial kings.
In the end, no one could compete with him for the bloodline of the Ancestral God.
Ye Fan counted the numbers while following the stone slabs Gu Xinyue stepped on, moving forward unhurriedly.
The martial kings all looked at each other in shock. Faced with Ye Fan's overwhelming power, they were all speechless and could only follow one after another. Even King Wu, who was originally thinking of ridiculing him, consciously shut up.
Ye Fan reported the numbers directly most of the time. Only occasionally would he stop and think deeply, as if he encountered a difficult problem. But even if it was a difficult problem, it didn't take long. At the latest, it took a moment to move forward.
In just half an hour, their team advanced rapidly, walking a full four to five thousand steps in the maze passage of the snake-swallowing battle.
This speed was much faster than the team led by Shi Yurong, Tao Yuan and more than ten Martial Kings, which took several hundred steps in three hours.
The most important thing is that Gu Xinyue has not stepped on the wrong stone slab so far. However, Tao Yuan and other ten martial kings stepped on at least a quarter of the wrong steps, which was time-consuming and energy-consuming.
"Hey, this is it?"
Gu Xinyue was walking forward, when suddenly her eyes flashed, and she looked warily at the front of the passage, dozens of feet away, where a pair of shriveled bones lay on the ground.
There are some digging scratches on the black rock wall, but the rock wall is too hard to dig out at all.
The clothes of this skeleton are luxurious, and the armor and mysterious weapons are also used by high-level Martial King. It is obviously a Martial King with a rather noble status.
However, the armor and mysterious weapons had been left alone for countless thousands of years, and their aura had long since dissipated, turning into ordinary iron. Maybe it still has a few valuable items on it.
Even with the huge financial resources of Gu Xin Yue Beast Emperor Pavilion, he looked down upon the property on the skeleton and did not touch it.
"This is King Wu who broke into the underground palace before. He exhausted all the yuan stones and materials in this passage. He has no way forward and no retreat. He is trapped in this passage and is starving! He broke into this snake alone. In the Swallowing Bird Battle Maze, nine out of ten Martial Kings will die this way."
Behind her, Ye Fan's indifferent voice came.
"The Martial King starved to death? How could the Martial King starve to death!"
Gu Xinyue was shocked.
Unlike Wu Zun and Wu Hou, they need to eat a lot of food frequently. But when King Wu has reached the state of understanding the martial arts and can communicate with the vitality of heaven and earth, even if he does not eat or drink for a year and a half, he will not starve to death in a short time.
As long as they bring some food in their storage bags, they can last for a very long time.
Therefore, it is common for King Wu to die in battle, but King Wu to die of starvation is almost unheard of, which is simply a shame. It is impossible to starve to death unless you are completely trapped to death.
"Since he can solve the puzzle all the way here and can't get in, why not exit the same way? This shouldn't be difficult!"
Gu Xinyue looked back at Mark and said in surprise.
She still remembers the order of the thousands of stone slabs that led into the maze. She had already planned to go back the way she came if she couldn't move forward.
With King Wu's memory, it is not difficult to memorize the sequence of thousands of steps.
Ye Fan shook his head and said: "Master Gu Pavilion, you don't understand now why the battle maze created by Emperor Yin is named the 'Snake Swallowing Bird' maze? This means that it is easy to swallow it in, but once you want to spit it out, , but it is stuck in the throat, as difficult as climbing to the sky, ten times higher than walking in. It took a King Wu several years to complete thousands of steps step by step, and the maze ahead is still bottomless and unknowable. The questions were more difficult to solve than the previous ones and took longer. The difficulty of the subsequent exit was tenfold. He didn't know whether he should continue to move forward in order to get out as soon as possible, or whether he should spend ten times as long to exit. At this time , he will be extremely desperate, indecisive, and die of embarrassment."
A King of Martial Arts breaks into this snake-swallowing maze passage. It is easy for him to step on the wrong path and be attacked by the passage. Although it will not be fatal immediately, it will take a lot of time, and even yuan stones and supplies, to restore one's vitality and strengthen one's body shield. This also made it difficult for King Wu to advance quickly.
Hearing this, Gu Xinyue's charming face couldn't help but be shocked.
Only then did she realize that she had greatly underestimated the danger of this ancient maze.
"What, the Snake Swallowing Bird Battle Maze actually has this effect?"
Tao Yuan, the leader of Tie Ming Guild, looked horrified and quickly looked back at the black rock wall behind him. At this glance, he was shocked to find that the questions on the rock wall had indeed changed, reversed, and had to be solved again.
"No, as expected, all the questions have changed!"
He couldn't help but look horrified.
It also means that they have to exit backwards and still have to solve these problems again to find the way out. Moreover, the difficulty of solving this reverse problem is many times higher than when it came in.
This ancient and primitive single-passage battle maze is so cruel.
"Damn it! This snake-eating bird maze can actually trap King Wu to death!"
The martial kings all looked horrified and their vigilance increased greatly. This maze passage had threatened the lives of these large group of martial kings.
"Is Ye Fan trying to trick people on purpose?"
Shi Yurong couldn't help but curse secretly.
Ye Fan hadn't made it clear long ago that the "Snake Swallowing Bird" maze was easy to get in but difficult to get out. Otherwise, they will carefully consider whether to follow in or simply wait outside.
At least there are no such big risks outside, and I can still wait for work.
But now, the martial kings have been trapped thousands of steps deep in the maze passage. It is too late to retreat, so they can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward. Although they know very well that the deeper they go in, the harder it is to get out.
…
Led by Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue, this King Wu team continued to advance rapidly.
With Ye Fan solving the puzzles on the rock wall all the way, the martial kings did not feel much pressure to solve the puzzles.
Since encountering the first set of skeletons, they slowly saw more and more bones of King Wu lying on the ground in this passage. Twos and threes, there are no less than dozens of skeletons in total.
With the limit of an ordinary Martial King, he tried his best and exhausted all the supplies, but he could only forcefully walk the four thousand steps of this maze. If King Wu is proficient in mechanisms, he can reach a distance of about 6,000 steps.
Therefore, this distance is exactly where many King Wu were buried.
The faces of the martial kings became extremely ugly.
No wonder, no map of this maze has ever spread to the ancient land of the Ancestral God outside.
For countless years, more than dozens of Martial Kings have broken into this ancient labyrinth, but they all died in the depths of the Snake Swallowing Bird Labyrinth, unable to enter or retreat.
The martial kings were silent one after another, with gloomy expressions, even a little anxious, staring closely at Ye Fan to prevent him from making any rash moves.
Unknowingly, they had been brought into the "Snake Swallowing Bird" ancient battle maze by Ye Fan. They were afraid that they would not be able to get out on their own, and they had to follow Ye Fan to get out. Their lives all depended on Mark.
