The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 923 The Center of the Maze
"You want to go in? You found him?"

Seeing Richard suddenly stand up and prepare to enter the maze, Yefeng's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

It seems that fate is indeed on his side.

However, Richard's answer poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

Richard shook his head and said, "No, but I found something strange and I'm going to go in and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt a pang of disappointment, but he quickly asked, "Strange thing? Do you need help?"

"Need not."

Although he didn't know if the space had any safety measures in place, Richard felt it was best not to share his first exploration with others.

If you bring people in, you have to share the food. Why share food that you can eat by yourself with others?

Seeing Richard's decisiveness, Wild Wind did not ask any further questions.

He wasn't stupid. Since Richard wouldn't let him get involved, it was most likely that he had discovered the Overlord's corpse or relics in the labyrinth.

These things were not included in their contract, so Richard naturally wouldn't let him get involved and take a share of the profits for nothing.

"Okay, then be careful."

Richard nodded and then stepped into the maze.

Upon entering the maze again, whether it was psychological or he had overlooked the details before, he was unsure.

He always felt that these spatial flows were man-made.

Setting his thoughts aside, Richard immediately began to move along the flow of space.

Although the spatial flow was completely unpredictable, Richard's clone had already paved a path to the core area of ​​the maze.

Richard reinforced the powerful spatial flow along this path with spatial anchors, so as long as one is careful, it will not cause any changes to the spatial flow.

Following the flow of space, Richard's biggest obstacle along the way is the Shapeshifter.

The Myriad Transformations Spirit possesses the power of countless dimensions, and within this labyrinth, they can also replenish this power.

Even the most ordinary shapeshifting spirit is a troublesome existence when dimensional power cannot be used.

Fortunately, Richard was prepared for this.

Richard, enveloped in the dark mountains and seas imbued with dimensional power, shattered a shapeshifting spirit with a single chain.

Although this maze suppresses dimensions, as long as the power of dimensions is stored in advance in something like the Mountain and Sea that incorporates the dimensions of silk threads, then the power of dimensions can be used even inside the maze.

Richard traveled forward, using the spatial flow to reach the spatial flow he had marked in just three days.

In his exploration, this spatial flow was theoretically closest to the core of the maze and flowed directly toward the core of the maze.

Looking at the once endless mirrored tunnel, Richard snapped his fingers softly.

The spatial anchor stabilized the spatial flow in the next moment. However, this was only temporary, and the spatial anchor would soon lose its effect due to the impact of other spatial flows.

Da da da……

As Richard continued along the passage, his footsteps echoed continuously in the mirrored corridor, reaching into the endless distance.

Richard opened his eyes wide, constantly scanning his surroundings for anything his clone might have missed.

Suddenly, Richard stopped in his tracks.

He re-released a spatial anchor, and although every bit of his power was precious in this labyrinth, Richard still chose to do so.

He fired a magic missile into the space in front of him. The missile flew along the passage and quickly disappeared from Richard's sight, then reappeared behind Richard.

boom!
The magic missile shattered on Richard's body and was subsequently reabsorbed by his body.

"Looks like this is the edge." Richard muttered to himself as he looked at the empty space in front of him.

Spatial science is an extremely complex discipline that relies heavily on abstract thinking.

Even though Richard was already in control, he only knew how to use much of the knowledge in this subject, but he didn't truly understand it.

However, knowing how to use it is enough.

The invisible and intangible force of gravity gathered in Richard's hands, eventually transforming into an invisible force field blade.

Of course, this is not enough for this maze.

Building upon gravity, Richard further amplified this force field with dimensional power, transforming it into a blade of magic.

With the addition of dimensional power, the formless and intangible force field Daoist exhibited a crystal-like texture, accompanied by ripples that constantly appeared in space.

With a gentle slash in the air, the force field blade sliced ​​through the rippled space, revealing the hidden wall behind it.

Looking at the metallic wall, Richard couldn't help but smile.

His five years of calculations weren't wasted.

The force field blade slashed again; before the supernatural force field blade, any matter was no different from a piece of paper.

However, the moment the blade touched the wall, Richard felt a very strong sense of sluggishness.

This wall does not appear to be a simple material; it seems to be a special product made using dimensional power and elements.

At the same time, Richard suddenly realized that the space he was in was being subjected to an extremely violent impact.

His spatial anchor lost its effectiveness under the impact.

"That thing has arrived?"

Richard recalled the old ape overlord's narration.

"This maze is not as simple as it looks. I personally witnessed an unlucky level eight being swallowed by a lump of flesh in the spatial flow. The whole process took less than a minute." The old ape overlord spoke in a very serious tone, clearly indicating that even he found that lump of flesh somewhat troublesome.

"Looks like that guy's here."

A faint metallic scraping sound began to echo in the passage, like something hard was moving along the ground.

sizzle-

The source of the sound grew closer, and soon, a strange figure appeared at one end of the passage.

This monster looks like a lump of flesh and blood slime, with amorphous muscles as its source of power, and snow-white fat flowing between the muscles, which is then drained of energy by other cells in an instant.

Strange bones protrude from his body, and these bones are also the source of the grating sound.

But none of this is the most important thing.

Most importantly, every cell in this organism carries a chaotic, regulated fluctuation.

Richard narrowed his eyes: "Rules incorporated? It looks like a failure."

This flesh slime exuded the same aura as him, but unlike the others, this flesh slime was like a bomb that could explode at any moment.

The chaotic fluctuations of rules emanating from him are the product of internal conflicts within the rules themselves.

If this creature's physical body hadn't been at the limit-breaking level, it would already be dead from the cellular disintegration caused by the conflict of rules.

The fleshy slime approached Richard at a leisurely pace, even somewhat slow.

However, Richard did not make the slightest move.

Because he sensed a fluctuation inside this flesh and blood slime, a fluctuation unique to the portal.

“No wonder the old ape devoured a Sovereign in just one minute after seeing this flesh and blood.” Richard smiled knowingly. “So he was planning to use this guy to escape.”

The flesh slime approached Richard unhurriedly, and as it reached Richard's side, a mental message emanated from the flesh slime.

"651, congratulations on discovering the secret of the maze. Now stop your destructive behavior, and I will take you into the laboratory."

651?

Richard raised an eyebrow. If this number represents the number of people, then 651 Overlords have entered this maze since its creation?
“You should know I can get out. So, give me a reason to come in here,” Richard said calmly to the flesh slime.

Although Richard's mental strength had reached around 5,000 points due to releasing his clone, this level of mental strength was sufficient to deal with a typical Limit Breaker.

Although the flesh and blood slime in front of me has a physical body that is at the limit-breaking level, its strength is obviously lower than that of a regular limit-breaking slime.

It won't be difficult for him to win.

Another message came from the flesh slime.

"What you are looking for is in the laboratory. In addition, a ruler who knows you has already entered the laboratory."

As he spoke, an image appeared in front of Richard.

In the video, the lion-headed Moko, with a look of wild joy on his face, stepped into the mouth of the flesh slime without hesitation.

Richard frowned slightly. Only Ye Yun and Ye Feng knew about his relationship with Moko. How did this slime in front of him know?
Seeing that Richard still did not react, the flesh slime displayed another image.

The video is very simple; it shows a crown that looks like it's made of thorns, silently floating in the air.

Richard started to get restless.

This thing is the crown of the first Cursed Demon King.

"I don't know this guy, and I don't know this thing. I'm going out now."

Whether it's the Lion-Headed Mok or the Crown of the First Cursed Demon King, these are things known only to a very few people, but the flesh-and-blood slime in front of him knows them perfectly well.

This is truly beyond reason.

It couldn't be that Lionhead Moko voluntarily handed over his memories to the owner of this laboratory.

"You're being a bit too suspicious."

The flesh-and-blood slime continued to transmit spiritual messages, and the image on its body changed accordingly.

This footage shows Richard communicating with the wild wind outside the maze.

"This information is all based on simple deductions. Furthermore, if you insist on leaving, the laboratory's defense level will be raised to the highest level. All your clones will be annihilated, and your main body will be impacted by countless spatial turbulence."

Richard gave a cold smile.

"Looks like I have no choice but to go?"

The flesh slime's reply carried an indescribable complex emotion, like a prisoner seeing the dawn of freedom.

Yearning, madness, yet also a touch of timidity.

"You are the third Overlord to find the lab in recent years, and the first Overlord to have a direct connection with the research project."

I will not, and cannot, let you go.

Rest assured, once this experiment is completed, your level of evolution will be greatly enhanced.

Besides this, this laboratory can also be given to you as a gift.

I... have waited too long.

"What if we fail?" Richard asked calmly.

"I won't fail." The flesh slime's answer carried a hint of confidence. "You are the final piece of the puzzle, the liberation that fate has granted me."

This experiment will definitely succeed.
