After a while, everyone was simply eating dry food. When even the little holy dragon got up to eat, Jian Yuan said to Xu Lai with red eyes:
"Sorry, Lord, I really can't find any omissions." "
I remember that all the intersections were clearly marked, but we never missed any intersection."
Looking at the maze map that Jian Yuan handed over, Jian Yuan clicked on it. Le's lines are even more standard than those measured with a ruler.
But the densely packed small squares on it, as well as the lines representing passages and forks, made Xu Kan look dizzy in just two or three minutes.
However, Xu Lai noticed that the entire maze map showed a square shape.
It’s just that the lines on the periphery of the square have been outlined, but the center of the square is blank.
Even Jian Yuan can't find a way out. Xu Lai doesn't have much sense of direction. He only knows people from the southeast to the northwest, so there's no way he can tell anything about it.
Although he couldn't see the trick, Xu Lai knew that there must be something wrong with some step in the middle.
Xu Lai walked through every fork in the road, and he knew very well whether he had missed anything.
"It doesn't matter. Let's have a good rest first. Recover your strength when it's time to recover, and eat when you need to eat.
When everyone is rested, we will go back and walk again and try a few more times."
There is really no other way but to try a few more times.
Fortunately, the road leading to the gold mine is not complicated. It is not too deep into the maze. Most people will definitely be familiar with it after walking a few times.
Jian Yuan is still working on the maze and has made a mark, so it will not be very difficult to develop it in the future.
I just don’t know if mining can be done well by relying only on those unintelligent farmers.
Even if it can be harvested, I am afraid that real people will have to be commanded and guided during transportation.
And in this maze, the Minotaurs and Minotaurs seem to be infinitely refreshed.
Xu Lai and the others have been walking for so long, and they have obviously cleared away all the Minotaurs at all forks in the road, but after a while, new Minotaurs will appear.
Obviously, these minotaurs either come out of the depths of the maze, or they refresh infinitely.
If it's the former, just find a way to get into the depths of the maze and clear out any minotaur lairs and the like that may exist inside.
The latter would be more troublesome. If you want to develop this gold mine, you must send troops to protect it.
While Xu Lai was thinking about developing the gold mine, he also had to find a way to enter the depths of the maze.
After a while, he became irritable because he really couldn't think of any good solution.
“Giselle.”
"Huh?"
"When we walk through the maze again later, ignore those Minotaurs and leave them all to me."
A divine weapon, Xu Lai's offense and defense The properties are extremely terrible.
But as he mainly relies on one-handed weapons such as the Prophet Sword to attack, his enemy-killing efficiency is far inferior to that of Giselle.
A dozen minotaurs only took Giselle a few seconds.
But if it were left to Xu Lai to deal with, he would have to get close to the minotaurs and chop them off one by one with his sword.
Not to mention the time it takes to walk over. After all, even if you are shot to death from a distance, you still have to walk over.
Even if Xu Lai could strike one sword at a time, and the Minotaurs didn't dodge, and they were all lined up for him to cut, it would still take a minute for a dozen Minotaurs to strike.
In fact, the combat skills of these recruited wild monsters are all very good. Even if Xu Lai has improved greatly, he is still easily dodged and blocked by the opponent.
No matter how much damage he does, it is useless if he can't hit anyone.
Moreover, if there are many opponents, even if Xu Lai does not need to defend at all, several weapons attacking from the left and right will cause serious interference to him.
This is a common problem of melee professions. The top-level skills are like that of a sword master. They are surrounded by people, and their surroundings are blocked tightly, and there is no room for them to display their skills.
So on the battlefield of the empire, there is almost never a profession like the Sword Master. The power of the Crusaders, who are still dressed in iron cans and weigh several tons, is even more terrifying.
The most optimistic estimate is that with a dozen Minotaurs, it would take Xu Lai at least three to five minutes to settle them all.
The same goes for long-range physics professions. When encountering a shield soldier with a large shield that can block the entire body, the soldier hiding behind the shield cannot be harmed at all until the shield is exploded.
Of course, he can also use spells from a distance. Spells are attacks that are completely irresistible except for relying on his physical strength to withstand them and relying on his spell shield to offset them.
It’s just that these minotaurs are not worth wasting his precious mana at all.
Sure enough, at the corner, when they encountered another dozen tauren, except for Naru, Giselle and the others could only watch the show.
The Minotaur's offensive and defensive attributes are incomparable to Xu Lai's, but their strength attribute is extremely high.
Xu Lai can say that even the high-level Tauren King is no match for Xu Lai in a competition of strength.
Naaru is slightly worse. Although the knight is also a physical profession, the points he adds are more focused on physical fitness.
In addition, the physical quality of humans is not as good as that of the Minotaur. At the same level, the Minotaur's power can suppress Naaru.
The offensive and defensive attributes are reflected in them, just like lighting up a weapon. They are extremely sharp and can easily cut a huge wound on the Minotaur's body.
The difference in strength attributes is reflected when weapons collide. When the Minotaur's ax came down, whether he was blocking with a weapon or a shield, the heavily armored Naaru would be pushed away at least several steps.
The difference in strength, coupled with the bonus of size, knockback, and knockback are all extremely easy to trigger.
It took two people more than three minutes and a lot of energy to finally kill these big guys.
Fortunately, although these minotaurs are huge, they are not considered giant.
However, it might be easier to deal with giants, because while the strength of these giant creatures is increased, their agility will be reduced to a certain extent.
“Let’s go, keep going!”
After clearing three waves of minotaurs in a row, Xu Lai didn't feel too deep. Naru, who had been carrying heavy armor, was already slightly out of breath.
Xu Lai smiled and said to him: "Would you like to take a rest."
Nalu glanced behind him. He must know that when he first entered the maze, the Minotaur and the Minotaur There are more people.
But those Minotaurs were all cleaned up by a girl named Giselle who looked about the same age as him.
Naru shook his head. As a knight, he actually spent most of his time on defense, covering Xu Lai's flanks.
Only three Minotaurs and two Minotaurs have actually died in his hands so far.
Xu Lai smiled slightly and said: "As long as you can persist, let's continue!"
With Xu Lai's current physique, he has not exhausted his physical strength in a long time, so he simply took advantage of it. Take this opportunity to exercise more to avoid deterioration of skills and attributes.
After clearing out who knows how many waves of minotaurs, Xu Lai finally got the prompt he wanted.
In order to wait for this prompt, Xu Lai walked back and forth in the maze countless times. Everyone had already discovered that Xu Lai did not seem to have any intention of looking for the maze's mechanisms and passages.
"Affected by the intimidation effect of your advanced diplomacy, the Minotaurs are afraid of your terrifying strength and propose to surrender to you. Do you accept it?"
Xu Lai came to contact these Minotaurs in person countless times just to Trigger the intimidation effect and scare these minotaurs to death.
Previously, Giselle directly shot these minotaurs to death with a wave of arrows from a distance. Although it was fast, not to mention triggering the diplomatic effect, not even the Angel Alliance and Dragon Heart were able to trigger it.
Xu Lai played in person and indeed triggered the effect of the Angel Alliance.
Ultimate prayer can last for two hours, so after it is triggered once, it will not be triggered again for two hours.
The dragon heart's summoning dragon function can be triggered at any time, but Xu Lai found it troublesome, so he simply removed the dragon heart.
“Accept!”
Xu Lai actually wanted to try not accepting it and see what the result would be.
However, he has been wandering around for most of the day in order to recruit these minotaurs.
If we follow the time on the ground, it is already night now, and it is just like day and night in the underground world.
Xu Lai has recruited the Minotaur before, so he knows the characteristics of the Minotaur very well.
The Minotaur has an important characteristic, which is called a maze guide. They will never lose their way.
And they can also find a way out in complex environments such as mazes and tunnels.
This is what Xu Lai took advantage of.
Although the Minotaur has no intelligence, it will faithfully carry out its master's orders.
Xu Lai asked them to lead the way to the center of the maze, while Xu Lai and the others followed the Minotaurs.
Because of the addition of the Minotaur, everyone's popularity has dropped a lot.
These minotaurs are not only not in the empire's camp, but also in the empire's hostile camp. Their morale dropped by about ten points as soon as they joined.
This is because Xu Lai's morale exceeds 100 points. If it happened to be only 100 points, it might have to drop to 80 points.
The loss of morale, apart from lowering the offensive and defensive attributes, has no impact at all on Xu Lai and the others.
Well, it might also have a slight impact on the four Holy Light Knights.
For the Minotaur, not only did the morale not decrease, but it actually improved a lot from the previous high morale.
The Minotaur, which has a morale bonus, has a morale of over 90 points, which is higher than the Holy Light Knight.
These guys were walking in front, and when they saw their compatriots guarding the road, they rushed forward with no regard for their past friendship.
Morale has improved, and I have received Xu Lai’s blessing.
The ultimate offensive technique and the ultimate defensive technique are too terrifying for the improvement of physical professions.
Without Xu Lai's action, with the help of advanced tactics, the attributes will be increased by another 15%. The most critical power can completely crush these opponents of the same level.
The numbers of both sides were about the same, but the Minotaurs on Xu Lai's side almost crushed the guarding Minotaurs.
Xu Lai and the others followed these Minotaurs and moved forward without encountering almost any obstacles.
Until everyone came to a solid wall, Xu Laizheng thought that even the Minotaurs were going the wrong way, when he saw this group of Minotaurs crashing straight into the solid wall. (End of chapter)
