The first step after falling into an unknown maze was to find a place to hide and try not to expose your location, Lin Feng had taught her.
But Yuna was stubborn. As long as the monsters in the maze were not stronger than her, she would try to find a way out herself. For this, Lin Feng had severely punished her several times...
However, this time, Yuna was cowardly hiding in a corner.
It wasn't that she didn't want to rely on herself, it was just that there were strange monsters all around that she had never seen before.
Flying land dragons, long-legged man-eating fish, three-headed magic snakes...
Not only were they horrifying in appearance, but more importantly, each one was gigantic.
Just looking at them, one could feel their extraordinary strength.
Lin Feng had also taught her to avoid fighting unfamiliar monsters as much as possible, to prevent suffering losses due to lack of information.
But she was emanating a glow, as if someone had lit a candle in a dark cave.
The monsters, seeing the light source, naturally swarmed towards her.
Enemies in front, tigers behind...
From the corner of her eye, Yuna saw a round thing, which turned out to be a skull when she kicked it with her foot.
If she kept hiding here, her fate would probably end up like this predecessor.
So rather than wait for her death, she might as well take the initiative to attack!
Go all in!
Yuna waited for the monsters to get close, then drew out her magic crystal giant sword and charged out.
Not giving them time to react, she gathered all her strength and hacked at the three heads of the magic snake.
With a sharp sound, the hard, smooth scales provided no grip for Yuna's blade, cutting its power by more than half.
"Hiss!"
The enraged three-headed snake bit at Yuna. Relying on its formidable speed, it went straight for her.
However, Yuna's attack was just a test. She kicked off the wall next to her with one leg, opening up some distance.
But the other two snake heads had no intention of giving Yuna a chance to catch her breath. Glows of red and blue appeared deep in their throats.
Seeing the fireball and icicles beginning to form, Yuna felt this was bad.
But there was no cover in the long, empty corridor, making it very difficult for her to dodge. She could only brace herself and forcibly take the incoming spells with her sword.
"Boom!"
With several loud rumbles, Yuna was blasted back several meters.
She had no time to check her injuries. Taking advantage of the smoke for cover, she suddenly charged at the magic snake.
This time she found the right spot, stabbing straight into the snake's belly.
Gripping the hilt tightly, she jerked it violently upwards, ripping the giant snake in two with sheer force.
The two remaining intact heads wailed painfully. Now on its last legs, Yuna pressed her advantage, lopping them off one by one.
The massive snake body crashed to the ground.
Before escaping, Yuna used her dagger to dig out the snake's crystal core.
After that, she wandered around the maze like a headless fly, bumping into walls.
If she encountered monsters, she would hide if possible. If not, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and fight them.
When she found a slightly safer place, Yuna finally had time to check her injuries.
They were all superficial wounds. Her magic crystal armor had protected the most vulnerable parts of her body.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The monsters in this maze were so strong.
To only cause superficial damage with one blow?
That would have been absolutely impossible before.
If not for her high quality equipment, she probably would have lost her life fighting the three-headed snake.
She would need to be even more careful going forward...
Yuna sat down against the wall, about to eat something to replenish her strength, when she heard rustling sounds.
She poked her head out to take a look.
It was a group of giant insect-type monsters.
Yuna had clashed with these creatures while escaping.
Although their individual strength was nothing special, they never acted alone and had great numbers, making them rather difficult to deal with.
The most terrifying were the flying bugs.
They were simply Yuna's nemesis.
She was a great sword user with short arms. It went without saying.
They could fly in the sky, completely out of her reach.
Getting tangled up with them would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
It would have been great if Rosalinde was here. Her arrows were fast and accurate. Clearing out these insects would only take her a moment.
Yuna looked down at the small purse she carried.
Inside were a handful of colorful crystal cores she had collected.
Her ransom was within reach!
She hid behind the wall and peeked out again.
Suddenly, she felt like those weren't bugs but shiny golden coins.
Although she badly wanted to rush out and try to earn a fortune, what use was money without her life?
In the end, reason prevailed.
Yuna turned and ran in the opposite direction.
After running for a while, she suddenly felt something was off.
There were no other passages along this road, just a straight line forward.
She hadn't encountered any monsters, or the remains of unlucky predecessors.
And it was creepily quiet.
According to her experience exploring mazes, what probably lay ahead was the maze's strongest monster. Defeating it would give her a chance at getting treasure.
But even the ordinary monsters in this maze were so hard to deal with. The leader was likely to have unfathomable strength.
Yuna lightened her footsteps, ears cocked high. She felt there must be an extremely terrifying monster up ahead.
After walking some more distance, the path ended.
The final boss Yuna imagined did not appear.
She sat cross-legged in front of the end wall, gently stroking her wolf's tail.
Her woman’s intuition told her there was something here.
She slapped the dusty wall.
Standing on tiptoes, she groped around for a while. Yuna found a loose brick that seemed to be able to be pushed in slightly...
"Rumble!"
The entire maze began to shake, years of accumulated dust falling onto Yuna's head.
A gold vertical line appeared in the center of the end wall, then it slowly split open to both sides.
The hidden room was filled with golden light particle effects, very well-lit.
Yuna stood at the entrance, carefully observing the interior.
It was round, probably around 100-200 meters in diameter, like a fully enclosed colosseum.
In the center area was a circular stone platform. Atop it stood an enormous deep blue crystal. Yuna guessed it would sell for a lot.
She hesitated at the doorway, uncertain.
What if it was a trap? Then wouldn’t she be screwed?
Although the door was open, it might close as soon as she stepped in.
Yuna decisively drew her sword and pried out some bricks from the loose section of the wall.
She threw them in one by one, testing for traps.
If possible, she wanted to chip off a piece of that blue crystal to take with her.
After throwing for a while with no reaction, she steeled her nerves.
The timid starve to death while the bold risk it all!
Go all in!
Like a thief, Yuna advanced using the bricks she threw in as stepping stones.
Glancing back every three steps.
Seeing no apparent traps, her courage gradually grew. She quickly climbed onto the platform and gently stroked the crystal's smooth surface.
With this texture... it should sell for a lot!
She struck it rich!
No, wait...
Yuna narrowed her eyes and pressed her face against the crystal.
She seemed to glimpse something flash inside it just now.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
