Chapter 708: Trial of Sun Rock
"The one who holds the key enters, hiding the people and the gods. I think I understand..."
Recalling the words on the stone tablet outside the gate, and looking at the complicated maze space in front of her, Meng Wan tilted her head and said.
"Understand what?"
Lin Shi was leading the way in front and asked when he heard Meng Wan's words.
"The so-called 'blind people' in the second half of the second sentence probably refers to this maze, which is used to trap and deceive people who enter."
"Makes sense."
Lin Shi nodded in agreement.
"I just don't know what 'Bi Shen' means. Will I encounter an illusion when I go in?" Meng Wan guessed curiously.
"Who knows?"
Lin Shi shrugged and said, but in fact he was still quite fortunate that they had the key to open the Gate of the Sun, otherwise he might not be able to deal with what he faced inside the other door.
"what?"
Suddenly, Lin Shi, who had been observing the radar chart, noticed something and stopped abruptly.
"Ouch!"
Meng Wan, who had been thinking about the other door, bumped into Lin Shi without paying attention and let out a scream.
"Lin Shi, what are you doing?"
"Hiss, this isn't right."
Ignoring Meng Wan, Lin Shi looked at the detection map with a strange expression, staring blankly at the fork in the road right in front of him.
"What's wrong? You just realized we're lost now, right? We've been walking for a long time."
Meng Wan swallowed and said, out of trust in Lin Shi, they plunged into the maze headfirst. Now if Lin Shi was defeated, it would not be so easy for them to get out.
"Don't worry, I'm thinking."
Lin Shi said in a low voice. What puzzled him was that as he moved forward, he found two exits, or two passages to leave the maze, in the detection map, but their locations were far apart.
One is located at the farthest end of the maze, exactly at the south and north poles of the maze where they came in, while the other exit passage that Lin Shi had been exploring is located in the very center of the entire maze.
"Which is the real exit?"
Lin Shi muttered to himself quietly, although the two passages were in a progressive relationship in terms of space, in the entire maze, most of their routes did not completely overlap. If the passage chosen this time was wrong, it would take a long time to get to the other one.
"Lin Shi, what's wrong?"
Qin Liuying also stepped forward and looked at Lin Shi and asked with concern, but by this time Lin Shi had made a decision. He planned to go to the passage in the center first to have a look. After all, it was closer here, and even if it was not, it would be much more convenient to go to another passage.
"No, let's go."
Thinking of this, Lin Shi shook his head, then led everyone into the fork on the left and continued walking towards the central passage.
Due to space limitations, the group did not ride on elves, so their speed was restricted. But after all, with Lin Shi leading the way, their progress was not slow, and they soon reached the depths of the maze.
"Do you feel that the surroundings are getting brighter and hotter? It's like being in a desert."
Putting her hands over her eyes to cover them, Meng Wan observed the surrounding environment and said, "Since a while ago, this maze that was supposed to be dark and closed has become brighter and brighter, and it feels like there should be some extremely bright glowing object right in front of her."
"Not only that, but this place gives me a weird feeling."
Lin Shi looked around and said in a deep voice. Then the next second, his eyes flashed and he grasped the Shield Sword Monster and shouted:
"King's Shield!"
A steel fortress appeared in an instant, and then a white light shot out from a distance and was blocked by the King's Shield.
"There is indeed a trap, everyone be careful."
Lin Shi said with a sneer, then looked to the end of the corridor in front of him, where a strange-looking elf appeared. It was a rock that looked like the sun, with two eyes like the sun, and was emitting a dazzling light all over its body.
"It's Sun Rock!"
Lin Shi recognized the elf at a glance and said to everyone.
But at this moment, under the gaze of everyone, a dazzling ball of light like the sun floated in the air, and then a strange energy came. Lin Shi suddenly felt the shield and sword in his hand sink and was about to fall.
"Is it a gravity skill? How is that possible? Sun Rock shouldn't be able to learn this skill, and...why don't I feel anything?"
Lin Shi keenly sensed the change in gravity, but the strange thing was that this gravity seemed to appear only on the elves. Whether it was the Shield Sword Monster or the elves summoned by Meng Wan and others, they all felt extremely heavy at this moment, and could even hardly move.
However, Lin Shi and the other humans, whose bodies were weaker than those of the elves, were not affected at all.
Meng Wan and the others also noticed this situation, of course. They looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
"Hey!"
Sun Rock's eyes glowed, and the power of super energy surged through his body. In an instant, Lin Shi and the others felt the message conveyed by the other party:
[If you want to pass the trial, you need to fight with human strength. Without the help of elves, you must resist the attack of the Sun Rock. If you successfully break the light ball in the sky, the trial will be successful.]
"So that's it..."
Lin Shi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the construction of this maze space was not just to prevent people from entering, but also had trials.
"What should we do with Lin Shi? Should we do it ourselves?"
Meng Wan flexed her wrist and looked at Lin Shi eagerly.
"Since it is a rule, we should abide by it."
After pondering for a while, Lin Shi nodded, then looked at the Sun Rock in front of him, put his hand into the backpack, and then pulled out a long sword that was bigger than the backpack.
Everyone was used to this. After all, it was acceptable for such abilities to exist in this world with elves.
"I'll test the waters first, and then you can come up after you've seen the situation."
Lin Shi said with a smile, then he thrust his sword towards the Sun Rock, his eyes fixed on the white ball of light floating above it.
"Toot!"
Seeing Lin Shi rushing over, Taiyangyan tacitly decided that the trial had begun. A white light appeared on his body, and he charged towards Lin Shi using a collision skill.
But Lin Shi was extremely swift and dodged the attack from Taiyangyan with a flash. Possessing super-power, he had been transformed by the power of creation, and his physical fitness had been greatly improved. Coupled with his daily practice of the ancient boxing he learned from Sangji, his combat effectiveness had been greatly enhanced.
Although Lin Shi dodged the attack, Taiyangyan did not stop at all. His body kept spinning and smashed towards Lin Shi like a boomerang.
"Lin Shi, be careful!" Meng Wan and Qin Liuying reminded almost at the same time.
But Lin Shi did not turn around immediately. He closed his eyes, and a golden light emanated from his wrist that only he could see. Under the influence of the super-power, Lin Shi could sense the emotions of the Sun Rock and naturally knew its location.
Just when the Sun Rock was about to touch him, Lin Shi lowered his head to avoid the impact, then swung out with a sword, cutting the Sun Rock away, and then jumped against the wall to shatter the ball of light in the air!
[The trial is over, and you get your reward...]
