On one side were flickering ghost lights, while on the other were floating orbs of light, two different-colored light sources slowly rotating in the dilapidated room, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
Of course, we dare not let these two light sources touch each other. The collision of these two magic elements... although not completely repelling, the explosion caused by the collision of two spheres that have gathered a large amount of magic elements is no joke.
I have seen the explosion caused by the direct collision of water and fire elemental forces before, and it was no joke. Even though it didn't have the power of a direct bomb explosion, the power of these two elements acting on a person is quite substantial.
Of course, because my mage is fully automated, I don't have to worry about it.
But that's not the point. The point is that in this dilapidated stone chamber, besides a set of stone tables and broken boxes, there is nothing else.
That's right, there is nothing else, which means there is no way out, not even an exit besides the door we came in through.
"It seems like you've made quite a harvest," I said as I stared at the box fragments on the floor.
"But your method of unlocking is too direct, isn't it? Maybe if you didn't destroy them, something better would have appeared," Aliyah said discontentedly, the main thief mission still assigned to me by her.
Facing Aliyah's words, Fran still had a smiling expression as she continued to speak.
"Indeed, there was a glass art piece, but it's not something I like~"
Fran smiled and looked towards the corner of the wall. I followed her gaze, but all I saw was a pile of glass shards.
"Ah, it's all money."
"Money~"
Aliyah and I sighed at the same time.
"Hehe~ if you do some quests for the Maple Leaf Guild, maybe you can get more," Fran said with a wink.
"By the way... there were quite a few tasks in Po Tian City last time. How should I put it? I also managed to kill a few lousy bastards."
"Po Tian City..."
Fran closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden realization.
"I see, so you guys were exchanging in the Eastern continent~"
"Well~ I don't remember who we killed, so it doesn't matter."
"Then next time, please be careful and remember the identities of your opponents... By the way, are you here to explore ancient ruins as well?"
"Is there such a task? No, we came in following a giant eagle because it has something to do with 'Snake Eye'."
"Snake Eye... I see. I remember that Maple Leaf recently updated a high-level task related to 'Snake Eye'."
"Really? Can you tell me the details of the task? Maybe I can provide some help."
I looked at Aliyah and she shrugged, indicating that she didn't mind.
"Well... although your level is still low, so far we haven't received any news about Snake Eye. It would be great if you could provide any information."
"I don't think I can explain it all right now, but in summary, their technology and magical abilities are at a level above this world, and they... exist similar to me."
"Uh, a group of lunatics?"
"Hey hey hey, your description is too..."
"I thought you had some self-awareness."
Seeing the other person's malicious smile, I could only shake my head helplessly.
"At least say they are extraordinary."
"Haha, that's not wrong."
I shrugged.
"Alright, let's talk about the information on Snake Eyes later. What are we waiting for now?"
"Oh, right."
Fran pointed to the door we came in through.
"I'm waiting for time."
"Time?"
"Yes."
Fran held a watch in his hand, and the time on it had just passed 12.
At the same time, there was a slight vibration from the floor, and I quickly crouched down to steady myself.
"What's going on!"
"It seems like this temple is actually moving on its own? Changing positions?"
Aliyah next to me immediately realized.
"So we're in a maze with automatically changing passages?"
"Yes, the location changes every hour. Last time when I was checking the treasure chest, I wasn't paying attention and missed the time to leave, so I was trapped here for an hour... I don't know how it's done, but it seems like you encountered even more trouble when you arrived."
"Yes, this place not only changes, but it also has many restrictions, like no flying."
"That's not a big deal, right?"
"No, of course not. There are also rules of illusions. At first, we thought we were walking along a very long passage, but actually, we were probably walking on a small slope. It wasn't until I noticed this point that the entire passage automatically changed the direction of gravity, probably because it detected that I had discovered the secret of the small slope and activated its defense mechanism."
Just as I was speaking, the surrounding vibrations stopped.
"It seems like it's over. We probably have a way out now."
I stood up straight and quickly pushed open the door of the stone chamber.
But when I saw the scene in front of me, I could only continue to force a bitter smile.
"You wouldn't want to see this, it's simply not giving us any way out."
"What did you see?"
Aliyah also walked over quickly.
"Oh my god, it's unbelievable, the person who designed this is completely mad."
"What did you see?"
When Fran saw it, her originally smiling expression distorted into a bitter smile as well.
"Oh my god, let me count... How many passages are there?"
"16... Maybe more?"
Yes, before our eyes appeared dozens of passages, and each passage seemed to have no end.
"A total of 22, let's go, let's take the 5th one on the left."
Aliyah said quite casually.
"Huh?"
"Because only this one smells of decayed bodies. Let's go."
Suddenly, I felt Aliyah became great. This must not be my imagination!
