N-A-A Chapter 175 Underground Maze
Chapter 175 Underground Maze
After a hard battle, they finally defeated the magical creatures and left the temple with the treasure.
The sun shone on their tired but joyful faces. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan looked at each other, their eyes full of memories of the fierce battle just now and expectations for the future. Their clothes were torn in the battle, stained with blood and dust, but they held tightly in their hands the precious treasures obtained from the temple.
After a short rest, they continued on, and soon came to the entrance of a huge underground maze. The entrance was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, and the cold wind blew from the depths, making people shiver.
Gu Qianning took a deep breath and held Chu Mohan's hand tightly, "Mohan, this maze doesn't look simple. We have to be careful."
Chu Mohan nodded, his eyes firm, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, we will definitely find a way out."
The two walked into the maze carefully. Just after taking a few steps, the entrance behind them suddenly closed, trapping them in this dark world. A faint magical light flickered on the surrounding walls, illuminating the tortuous road ahead.
They walked slowly along the passage, the ground beneath their feet was sometimes flat, sometimes rugged. Suddenly, there was a "creaking" sound in front of them, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan stopped and looked around vigilantly. They saw a row of sharp spikes falling from their heads, approaching them quickly.
Chu Mohan reacted quickly, pulling Gu Qianning over and hiding in a recessed area. The sharp thorns scraped past their bodies, which was extremely dangerous.
"This is just the beginning. There may be more dangers later." Gu Qianning said with lingering fear.
"Well, but we can't retreat." Chu Mohan comforted her and continued to move forward.
Not far away, they came to another fork in the road. The two passages looked almost identical, making it difficult to choose.
Gu Qianning closed her eyes and calmed down to feel the magical fluctuations around her. After a moment, she opened her eyes and pointed to the passage on the left and said, "I feel a faint scent of treasure here."
Chu Mohan believed in her instincts, and the two of them walked into the passage on the left. The passage was filled with mist, and the vision became blurred. They could only hold hands and grope their way forward slowly.
As she was walking, the ground beneath her feet suddenly became soft, and Gu Qianning missed a step and her body sank downwards. "Mo Han!" she screamed in fear.
Chu Mohan quickly reached out to grab her and pulled her up. After some effort, he finally pulled Gu Qianning out of the trap.
"That was a close call!" Gu Qianning said, panting.
They continued to move forward and encountered a series of tightly closed stone doors. Each stone door was engraved with strange symbols and patterns, which seemed to be some kind of puzzle.
Chu Mohan carefully observed these symbols and patterns, trying to find the rules. Gu Qianning also helped to think. After some research, they found that these symbols were related to the arrangement of constellations.
According to the position of the constellations, they successfully opened the stone doors one by one. But when they opened the last stone door, they triggered a powerful magic circle. Rays of light shot out from the magic circle and turned into sharp blades to attack them.
Chu Mohan waved the magic wand in his hand and cast a defensive magic to block the sharp blades one by one. Gu Qianning took the opportunity to find the core of the magic circle and finally found a magic gem hidden in the corner. She used all her strength to smash the gem, and the magic circle disappeared instantly.
After a series of hardships and dangers, they came to a spacious hall. In the center of the hall there was a huge statue holding an ancient book in its hands.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan approached the statue and found clues about the treasure in the book. But just as they were about to pick up the book, the statue suddenly came alive and waved its huge fist to attack them.
Chu Mohan pulled Gu Qianning back quickly and started a fierce battle with the statue. The statue was so powerful that the ground trembled with every attack. But Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan gradually found the flaws of the statue with their flexible movements and tacit cooperation.
Gu Qianning discovered that the statue's leg joints were its weak points, and she winked at Chu Mohan. Chu Mohan understood and attracted the statue's attention, while Gu Qianning took the opportunity to rush forward and attack the statue's leg joints with magic.
The statue lost its balance and fell to the ground. They succeeded in defeating the statue and got the book.
According to the clues in the book, they learned that the treasure was hidden in the deepest part of the maze and could only be reached through a passage filled with poison.
Gu Qianning took out some detoxifying herbs and protective equipment from the space and distributed them to Chu Mohan. After the two of them were ready, they stepped into the venom channel.
The passage was filled with a pungent smell, and poison was dripping from the walls. They carefully avoided the poison and moved forward with difficulty.
Suddenly, a huge poisonous spider swooped down from the ceiling. Chu Mohan waved his sword to repel it, and the poisonous spider sprayed a stream of venom. Gu Qianning cast a magic shield in time to block the attack of the venom.
While fighting with a poisonous spider, Chu Mohan was accidentally scratched by the spider's claws, and the venom quickly invaded his body.
Gu Qianning was extremely worried. She immediately gave Chu Mohan some detoxifying herbs and cast healing magic. With her efforts, Chu Mohan's injuries gradually stabilized.
After a hard fight, they finally killed the poisonous spider and passed the venom channel.
At the end of the passage, they saw a door shining with golden light. The door was inlaid with various precious gems and emitted a charming light.
"This should be where the treasure is." Gu Qianning said excitedly.
Chu Mohan walked forward and gently pushed open the door. Inside the door was piled with gold, silver, jewelry, precious magic items, and ancient secret books.
They were stunned by the sight, but soon came to their senses and began to collect the treasure.
However, just as they were immersed in joy, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and the entire maze seemed about to collapse.
"Oh no, we have to leave quickly!" Chu Mohan shouted.
They hurriedly packed what treasure they could take away into the space and ran towards the exit.
During the escape, rocks kept falling and the road became narrower and narrower, but they did not give up and kept running forward, encouraging each other.
Finally, they escaped from the underground maze before it collapsed completely.
When they returned to the ground and felt the warm sunshine and fresh air, their hearts were filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
"This adventure was so thrilling." Gu Qianning said with emotion.
Chu Mohan looked at her with a smile, "But we also gained rich treasures and valuable experience."
With abundant harvests, they embarked on a new journey and continued to explore this world full of magic and miracles.
Soon after, they came to a bustling town. In the town, they heard a legend about a mysterious ruin. It is said that hidden in the ruins is a magical artifact that can control time.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan became very interested in this legend and decided to go to the ruins to look for this artifact.
On the way to the ruins, they met an old magician, who told them that the ruins were full of powerful magic traps and evil creatures, and that many brave adventurers had gone there to explore, but never returned.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were not frightened by the magician's words. Instead, they became more determined to find the artifact.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins. The door of the ruins was tightly closed, and there were complex magic runes engraved on the door.
Chu Mohan tried to decipher these runes, and after some effort, he finally found a way to open the door.
The gate slowly opened, and a powerful magical force rushed in. They walked into the ruins carefully. There was a thick fog inside, making it difficult to see the road ahead.
As they walked, they heard a low roar. Gu Qianning nervously grabbed Chu Mohan's arm, "Mohan, what's that sound?"
Chu Mohan observed his surroundings vigilantly, "Be careful, it might be some powerful creature."
Before he finished speaking, a huge three-headed monster rushed out from the mist. The monster's body was like a small mountain, and its three heads spewed out flames, frost, and lightning respectively.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan quickly separated to avoid the monster's attack. Chu Mohan cast a spell and summoned a gust of wind, trying to blow the monster down. But the monster's body was too huge, and the gust of wind had almost no effect on it.
Gu Qianning used the magic props in the space to attack the monster. The monster was enraged and pounced towards Gu Qianning.
Seeing this, Chu Mohan flew in front of Gu Qianning and started a close fight with the monster. His sword left scars on the monster's body, but the monster's vitality was extremely tenacious and the wounds healed quickly.
During the battle, Gu Qianning discovered that the monster's weakness was in its abdomen. She shouted to Chu Mohan, "Mohan, attack its abdomen!"
Chu Mohan heard this and used all his strength to jump up and stab the monster in the abdomen. The monster roared in pain and fell to the ground.
They continued to move forward and encountered many magic traps. Some traps would spray poisonous arrows, and some traps would release strong electric currents. But with their wisdom and courage, they were able to overcome danger time and time again.
Finally, they arrived at the core area of the ruins. On a huge stone platform, there was the legendary artifact - the hourglass.
The hourglass of time emits a mysterious light, and the surrounding space seems to be distorted by its power.
Just as they were about to pick up the hourglass, a dark figure appeared in front of them.
"This is not something you should have!" said the dark figure coldly.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan looked at the figure warily, "Who are you? Why are you trying to stop us?"
"I am the guardian of this relic. The power of the hourglass is too strong for you to control." said the guardian.
"But we need it to save the world." Gu Qianning said firmly.
The guardian was silent for a moment. "Well, if you can pass my test and prove that you are worthy of the hourglass, I will give it to you."
The Guardians present a series of difficult tests, including solving complex magical puzzles, defeating powerful magical creatures, and more.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan did not back down. They supported and helped each other and finally passed all the tests.
