Chapter 998: Maze Adventure

The maze that was hundreds of kilometers long was filled with countless twists and turns! Even if Luo Xiaobai and company walked in it, they would get lost without using the teleportation array, perception, or destroying the maze itself.

This was because there were many short-distance teleportation arrays set up here. If one wasn’t careful and stepped into one, they would find themselves in an unfamiliar place.

Of course, not all teleportation arrays were problematic. Some mazes were an endless cycle. Once someone discovered that this was an endless cycle, the teleportation array would be the only way to the next maze.

By the time Han Fei and the others arrived at the front of the spiritual plant maze, there was already a line of more than a thousand people. Usually, it was adults with their kids.

Now, some people could still use their perception to enter the maze. After all, the maze had yet to be completed. At present, they only had the framework, but the arrays inside were almost completed.

As the seal above the maze hadn’t been set up yet, those who were already Hidden Fishers could more or less put their perceptions in. They found that it was filled with giant spiritual plant walls piled up with spiritual plants.

Someone was still discussing, “This huge maze must have a time limit. If we don’t fly over it, it will be quite difficult!”

Someone shook his head. “That’s not right. Did you notice? This maze is especially rich in spiritual energy. Furthermore, the sign says that there are killing arrays inside. I’m afraid it’s not as simple as a maze.”

A parent said worriedly, “These children are so young, but they set up killing arrays for the test? Is that right?”

The moment this question was raised, many parents began to consider it. This test was probably accompanied by some danger!

“Look, they’re out.”

Someone immediately shouted, “President Han, can we take the assessment today?”

“President Han, what are the rules of the assessment? How long does it take to pass?”

“President Han, is this maze very dangerous? Is there any danger of perishing?”

“President Han…”

All sorts of questions erupted. It was obvious that everyone had accumulated many questions. The Thug Academy really didn’t look like a school.

This was more like a secret realm.

Han Fei raised his hand and stopped everyone’s voices. “Don’t panic. Let me briefly explain the rules. The rules are very simple. First of all, this maze is also known as the Infinity Maze. Although there are killing arrays inside, as long as you don’t barge in, you won’t encounter any danger. But once you barge into the maze, you have to bear the consequences. Secondly, the maze is only open to children who are level-nine fishers and those who have just become fishing masters. If you are in a higher realm, you’ll have to reduce your strength. Otherwise, you will trigger the killing arrays. If that happens, there will be danger. There’s no time limit to this maze, but if you feel that you can’t pass it, turn back to the starting point! Perhaps… The Thug Academy isn’t suitable for you.”

“Wow! There’s no time limit?”

“But there are killing arrays!”

Someone shouted, “President Han, as long as we pass this maze, we’ll be considered to have passed the test, right?”

Han Fei smiled and said, “Of course. As long as you can walk through the maze on your own, you’ll pass. However, there are only three places left for the Thug Academy. If you want to enter, do so quickly.”

Someone asked, “Can we enter now?”

Han Fei said, “Of course, but listen up, everyone. Don’t try to resort to tricks. If you get caught, you’ll be sent to the starting point to try again!”

Instantly, someone shouted, “Son, run! Charge!”

Someone pushed his daughter. “Quick, daughter, you have to make good use of your talent as a manipulator.”

An old man shouted, “Grandson, don’t act recklessly. We aren’t in a rush. You have to find the flaws in this maze. Once you pass it, your future will be bright.”

It was like a huge fish tide. At least a thousand children were rushing into the maze.

Han Fei grinned and said, “Alright, everyone else, please wait patiently.”

Han Fei looked at Luo Xiaobai. “Can you watch over the test?”

Luo Xiaobai asked, “What are you going to do?”

Han Fei said, “I’ll perfect the mobile maze while mixing things up a bit.”

Li Luoluo immediately raised her hand. “I’ll help.”

Han Fei was speechless. “You can set up arrays too?”

“I’ll plant some wormgrass.”

Luo Xiaobai impatiently led Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang to watch the exam. As an externally recruited student, Li Luoluo could do whatever she wanted. As long as she didn’t transform, everything was negotiable.

…

After half an hour, Han Fei was standing on the wall of spiritual plants that was about ten meters tall and carving arrays. Of course, it was impossible for him to carve one small array over this area of about a hundred kilometers. Han Fei’s plan was simple. He would directly turn the hundred kilometers into a large array. After that, he could carve countless small arrays inside.

To array masters, as long as they had enough patience and time and grasped the technique of arrays, they would eventually be able to create a large terrifying array. Rome was not built in one day.

Therefore, one shouldn’t underestimate an array master. The things they could produce might far exceed their own strength.

At Han Fei’s current limit, he couldn’t kill a peak-level Law Enforcer just with an array map as large as thousands of kilometers like Old Jiang, but given enough time, he could trap a Law Enforcer. When the array was finally perfected, Han Fei felt that there was a chance of trapping even an Explorer.

At this moment, on the plant wall, a girl was walking around in the maze. This was the sixth time Han Fei had seen this girl.

Why did he see her so many times? It was because the girl kept walking on the wooden floor. Han Fei even wanted to ask her why she couldn’t cross the wooden floor… She should at least try!

A moment later, Han Fei circled to the other side where three youths were running wildly.

Someone ran to the back. “No good. Those bugs are real.”

Han Fei said, “Huh? Bugs? Where did the bugs come from?”

Han Fei’s figure flashed and appeared hundreds of meters away. In the maze tunnel, a row of wormgrass extended out of the spiritual plant wall. A centipede was opening its mouth, and it was alive.

Han Fei’s face darkened. I’ve set arrays! What’s Li Luo doing?

“Forget it. They’re just ordinary bugs with ordinary strength. Keep them!”

Hum!

He saw a large spiritual wave appear in a tunnel in the distance. Han Fei cursed, “Which son of a b*tch climbed the wall? I haven’t finished setting up the arrays. Damn it!”

When Han Fei arrived, he saw a young man lying on the ground, groaning and his face swollen.

Han Fei immediately cast a healing spell on him. He extended his hand and carved out an extremely short teleportation array, sending him back to the door.

On the spiritual plant wall, Luo Xiaobai and the others appeared and disappeared unpredictably as they observed their surroundings.

Of course, there were also many youths who were looking at the text and patterns on the spiritual plant wall in surprise.

For example, when a girl saw the words: “Turn back to the shore” on the spiritual plant wall, she curiously extended her hand.

In the next second, she was sucked in.

Outside the maze, an old man said in surprise, “Linlin, why are you back?”

The girl was dumbfounded. “Ah! Why am I back?”

…

For example, a youth saw the words: “The path is beneath your feet” written on the wall. He extended his hand and slipped into an unfamiliar maze.

More importantly, from the youth’s point of view, it was all spiritual plant walls. There was no difference!

However, when he turned his head, he found that there was another teleportation array on the wall behind him. However, the words: “Start anew” were written on it.

He was curious. Was this the way back? Therefore, he wanted to take the teleportation array again to take a look.

However, with a touch, he appeared at the entrance of the maze with a whoosh.

“Ah! Why am I back?”

As well as these temptations, there were many other strange words and phrases.

For example:

“Thank You for Your Patronage”… They would return to the entrance if they touched it.

“No Through Road”… Which was actually an entrance to the next maze.

“Danger Here”… Touching it would trigger a killing array.

“No Climbing”… But no one climbed. It was only two hours later that a youth became extremely frustrated and climbed it. However, the moment he climbed, he appeared in another maze.

On the second entry, most of the children seemed to guess that they had already found the trick to passing through the maze.

As long as they grasped the teleportation array’s functions, they would definitely be able to pass.

Hence, after almost everyone had repeated it a few times, finally a youth passed the first stage of the teleportation maze.

However, as soon as he entered the new maze, sword lights swept over. The youth barely blocked three sword lights, but he realized that there was no need to block them. The sword lights were just a mechanism and all he needed to do was avoid them.

However, when he dodged seven to eight attacks. he suddenly realized that there were sword lights sweeping past him from all directions. He had to have the ability to block three sword lights at the same time or he would be hit.

As well as this, there was also a teleportation array behind him.

The youth was stunned on the spot. How was he supposed to pass this thing and move forward? Did he have to receive a slash from the sword lights?

After more than ten seconds of thought, he decided not to turn back. It wasn’t easy for him to get here, so how could he turn back?

But suddenly, three sword lights slashed at him.

“Ah! Damn it!”

He shattered two in a row, but he failed to block the third one. His body accidentally left the safe zone and was struck by a sword light. A terrifying gash appeared on his back.

“Not good! Save me!”

In the end, the youth chose to go back. He had no choice! If he didn’t, he would be struck to death.

When night fell, almost half of the children returned to the entrance.

Someone cried, “Mommy, I don’t want to enter this maze. It’s filled with scams.”

A youth said in a peeved manner, “There’s no way we can enter. The deeper we go, the harder it becomes. In the beginning, it’s only teleportation arrays, but then there are all killing arrays. It’s impossible for anyone to walk through.”

A girl said sobbing, “There’s an illusory array inside. It clearly says ‘Congratulations on finding the entrance,’ but just touching it makes you return to the outside of the maze.”

The parents exchanged looks. Was it really that mysterious? What the hell was this maze? Was it really that difficult?

At this moment, Han Fei was still perfecting the maze.

At some point in time, Luo Xiaobai appeared beside him. “Isn’t this too difficult?”

Han Fei shook his head. “Actually, it’s not difficult at all. The first hundred kilometers test one’s temperament and intelligence. The middle hundred kilometers test one’s special abilities. Either one is extremely fast, has excellent adaptability, has special footwork techniques, or has a special contractual spiritual beast. In any case, only people with special abilities can pass. Basically, ninety percent of the people will be eliminated in the middle hundred kilometers. Those who can stay can be considered elites.”

Luo Xiaobai said helplessly, “What about the last hundred kilometers? The spiritual plants I set up are already very difficult. What did you set up?”
