#598 - Chapter 596 Maze
"Where is this?"
Qi Jing had been lying on Bai Gou cloud, sound asleep, when he suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness. He immediately activated his pulse gate and opened his Scaled Demon Wings to prevent himself from falling.
Where is everyone?
When he looked back, he found that there wasn't a single person to be seen, not even the Bai Gou cloud.
Damn? Suddenly disappeared? Where did my huge teammates go?
Wait, where is this place?
Only then did Qi Jing notice that above him wasn't the sky, but a mural resembling the sky, painted with lifelike clouds and suns.
This is indoors!
Not only was there a ceiling, but in the distance, there was also an inner wall painted with the horizon.
Where the hell did they bring me?
It couldn't be an illusion. Could it be spatial transfer?
Only spatial transfer could have brought him here without him noticing.
Being transferred here, is this a trap?
Thinking of this, Qi Jing suddenly turned his head, but he found that he was only half a meter away from the ground.
"Heh."
He suddenly chuckled and slowly descended.
What's with only half a meter? I'm just scaring myself.
If he were the creator of this trap, he would definitely put the opponent at a super high altitude, not only using the height to kill the enemy by falling, but also putting several sharp spikes on the ground to impale him!
However.
Just as his toes touched the ground, his secret agent谛听 (Dì Tīng) suddenly sensed danger beneath his feet, scaring him into immediately rising again.
A large piece of the floor tiles suddenly disappeared, revealing a trap over thirty meters deep, with a large number of spikes at the bottom.
Not only that, the walls were also shaped like an inverted trapezoid, very smooth, and obviously not intended for people to climb out.
Damn it, predicting my thoughts!
Qi Jing landed on a safe floor where his secret agent谛听 (Dì Tīng) hadn't detected any danger, and threw a lit bomb into the trap.
Bang!
Stupid bird trap, be destroyed.
Leaving behind a dashing figure, Qi Jing took two steps forward.
His Observation Haki had already discovered that this was a large maze, with walls reaching all the way to the ceiling, making it impossible for people who could fly to directly pass through.
Moreover, every time his secret agent谛听 (Dì Tīng) was triggered, he could hear a large number of traps.
These spiked pits could be encountered every two steps, and there were all kinds of shooting traps on the walls.
Blow darts, fuel, flames, poison gas, and even explosive Burst Rocks were present.
Most importantly, the area here was particularly large, and even his Observation Haki's perception range of over 1,600 meters couldn't see the boundaries!
It's still a maze!
Such a large maze is full of various traps, and even if they can be identified, it will take a lot of time just to walk out, and his spirit will probably weaken, greatly delaying his speed in finding his teammates.
Qi Jing's own safety wasn't a problem, he was more concerned about the safety of his teammates.
Zha Yin can fly, so she won't fall to her death.
He also found that the hardness of these spikes was just so-so, and they shouldn't be able to pierce through their armor, so everyone should be fine.
However, it's not enough just to be fine. What if a powerful enemy goes to find them? So Qi Jing still hopes to be faster.
Golden Skyline—Triple!
Without taking any road, his choice was—to overturn the ceiling.
He didn't have the time to play a maze game here, he was going to directly flip the table!
The hardness of the walls here was comparable to Ida Dong's body, even harder, and the thickness was as much as three or four meters. Using Yuan Qi Slash alone would definitely waste a lot of time, so it's better to directly use the Golden Skyline.
It's fast and sharp.
Rumble!
Three extremely deep marks appeared, and a triangular piece of hard wall fell from the ceiling.
Qi Jing slightly collected some samples into his space and flew directly up.
However, above was another layer of maze, a maze similar to the lower layer.
But the difference was that his secret agent谛听 (Dì Tīng) also sensed a huge danger coming from the walls.
If the danger in the lower layer was as dense as the spots on a Dalmatian, then the danger in this layer was a big black dog, all of it was dangerous.
Qi Jing got close to the wall and took a closer look.
Damn!
Who the hell uses Burst Rocks as wall bricks!
Extravagant aside, aren't they afraid of accidentally blowing up the entire area? What if the people who break into here don't know these are Burst Rocks?
Lousy trap.
Actually, since Qi Jing had opened the Mind Barrier and couldn't receive mental transmissions, if he closed it, he would be reminded of the danger of these walls as soon as he entered this layer, so that intruders wouldn't damage them out of ignorance.
It can only be said that it's a good thing Qi Jing recognized them.
He looked around somewhat bewildered.
What should he do now?
He can't destroy the walls, otherwise, he might even blow up his teammates, so he can only follow the rules and walk the maze?
He refuses!
Qi Jing went back to the lower level without Burst Rocks and directly entered a spiked pit trap, arriving at the lowest point.
His Observation Haki could see that below, there were no Burst Rocks!
Golden Skyline—Triple!
Three slashes shot out at the speed of light, cutting open another large triangle.
However, they didn't fall.
Not because this was underground, but because in addition to the hard building materials, the lowest layer was also covered with a layer of floating stone.
That's right, this was still in the sky.
This maze was a giant sky building built on top of floating stones!
If he wasn't mistaken, this should be a legendary Sky City.
Humans have only discovered three Sky Cities so far, two of them in the country.
One was completely preserved and used as a sky research base; the other was dismantled and became the cornerstone for people to study Sky Cities.
Yu Ding's small house in the sky was made with the floating stones of the Sky City as its foundation, and Qi Jing had also extracted a piece, so he could recognize this rare stone.
He reached out and pushed down hard.
The triangle that had been cut out on the ground shifted downwards, and when he let go, it didn't bounce back or fall.
Push again, shift again.
Push as much, shift as much.
Qi Jing also discovered that it was difficult to move them with a one-time force, and he could only use continuous force to slowly push.
Feeling slightly anxious, Qi Jing directly took out the谪仙 (Zhé Xiān) Umbrella, using its characteristic of being able to lengthen to stab downwards in one go, directly stabbing this twenty-odd-meter-thick floating stone foundation, along with the ten-odd-meter floor tiles, out of this building.
From the outside, it looked like a blackhead squeezed out of a smooth face.
He also flew out of this hole.
First of all, what came into view was the mountain range below, stretches of mountains, rivers, and streams, no different from what he saw on the Bai Gou cloud.
He then looked up and saw a huge ceiling, covering the sky and the sun, like an ant looking up at the ceiling, as if the earth had been turned upside down.
He knew that this was because he was too close.
If he wanted to see its full appearance, he had to fly far down.
However, there was no need.
He was still in a hurry to save people!
