Chapter 140 The Third Level of the Maze

In order to save Ayaka, Baijie flew towards the collapsed crack. Before flying into the air, he stretched out his hands and hugged Ayaka.

The swarm of snakes released by the black-clad woman, Kuchan, stretched forward desperately, but failed to catch him and Ayaka. The two and the rubble fell under the pull of gravity.

"Damn it."

At the critical moment, the "shrinking the earth" space jumping effect did not work.

No, it's because when falling at such a high speed, there is no way to jump farther and farther into the air. The space teleportation of the shrinking earth has a distance limit.

The scenery above my head became farther and farther away, the cracked hole became like a wellhead, and the only sound I could hear was the whistling wind.

"Damn it."

Baijie didn't have time to think about other problems. He wanted to prevent himself from falling and dying. Spiritual power could strengthen the body, but if he fell too deep, even if he could survive, ordinary people like Ayaka would die.

"...Qi Luo God General."

Spiritual power surged through Bai Jie's body. He roared and at that moment, activated the power of Qi Luo God General, which made his body light.

However, this is not enough.

He had nowhere to gain support in mid-air, so he drew out his ninja sword and threw it into the distance.

call out!
The ninja sword stabbed into the rock wall.

Baijie's figure began to slide in the air, crashing into the wall. His right hand tightly grasped a spider silk thread, and Ayaka was held in his left hand.

This was spider silk recovered from the "Spider's Nest" and it was extremely tough. He held the spider silk tightly in his gloved hands and felt relieved.

"How deep is the maze between the first and second levels..."

While he was thinking, the spider silk made a "creaking" sound like a metallic groan, and Baijie quickly raised his head.

"not good."

There was no time to react, the spider silk broke in an instant, no, it was the ninja sword that couldn't hold on and broke first.

The next second, Baijie and Ayaka fell down again.

"no solution anymore."

The desperate claws tightly grasped the heart. At the critical moment, Bai Jie made a desperate move, concentrated all the spiritual power into his body, and then burst out a black and red light.

He concentrated his strength and radiated it out, transforming it into a huge and ferocious beam of light. If it could be called an arrow of Qi Luo, it didn't look like an arrow, so this beam of light could only be described as a thick stake.

The force blasted downwards and hit the ground.

The momentum of the fall slowed down, but at the moment of landing, there was still an impact as if being pulled upward by the hand of a giant. Bai Jie hit the ground. At this time, he was still able to exert some strength, and his feet hit the ground first and rolled to the side.

Suddenly, the dark outlines of the scenery and the ground in my eyes seemed to be mixed together and kept spinning.

He must have been tumbling around, but he was still holding the petite girl in his arms. Finally, when his shoulder suddenly hit something, the strange spinning sensation came to an abrupt end.

"cough……"

He had a concussion in his head, which made him want to vomit.

'Is this water?'

He lightly touched the ground with his right hand and noticed that there was a puddle where he landed. No, the surrounding area was also full of water.

"There shouldn't be any water on the second floor. Could it be that it fell into a deeper underground space?"

Suddenly, he coughed a few times, and there was a taste of rust in his throat.

"He must have suffered quite a bit of injury."

Waves of severe pain continued to emanate from my entire body, and I could no longer tell where my bones were broken or where my internal organs were damaged.

Fortunately, his regenerative ability is extremely strong, so even if he suffers such a severe injury, he will not die.

"Ms. Ayaka."

Baijie showed an expression as if he was suppressing his pain, and asked bitterly, "You are not hurt?"

The girl in his arms was still in a state of shock. She huddled in his arms, her eyes wide open as if in a trance. After hearing him ask the second question, she slowly nodded.

"very good."

Baijie guessed that she should not be injured. After all, he used his spiritual power to protect her the whole time.

"Then we can't stay here... because the enemy is nearby—"

At the same time he said this, some sounds came from all directions.

“Quack”, “quack”, “quack”, “quack”, “quack”, “quack”, “quack”, “quack”…

Both Momosuke and Ayaka's expressions became tense.

"——I guessed it right."

The enemy should be the third-level monster "Big Frog" that is rushing over from all directions. It is a giant frog the size of a buffalo.

Their wide-open eyes lit up behind the dark puddles and stone ruins, and their throats emitted ecstatic "gurgling" sounds. If they opened their bloody mouths, they would be able to swallow an adult male alive.

Furthermore, judging from their greedy eyes, they seemed to regard Baijie and Ayaka as prey.

“…The number is astonishing.”

Bai Jie sighed. What should he say? His luck was really bad.

He knew he had no choice but to untie the seven-piece spear from his waist and gently shake it to restore the seven-piece spear.

It seems there is no choice but to fight.

……

In the darkness, explosions continued to be heard.

The big frogs are sniping two prey. They rely on numbers to form a siege and open their mouths to spit out acid-like saliva to attack.

These acids attacked like cannonballs, but were ineffectively neutralized by the power of the curse-returning barrier generated by the Curse Blessing Orb.

"You can't hit me with just this move."

While smiling, Yumen Tenzen waved his hand, and paper Shikigami flew out from his sleeves.

The shikigami landed on the rubble nearby, and the paper figures stuck to the stones, immediately absorbing the surrounding matter and quickly forming one human form after another - they were shikigami in samurai postures, with their bodies made of stones and mud.

"Kill them all!"

Yu Men Tianchan gave the order, and the stone puppet immediately started fighting with the surrounding frog group. The battle was one-sided.

The stone puppets created using Shikigami are very powerful. Their bodies are made of stone, and they can defeat enemies with their bare hands. "What a disgusting thing."

The fox girl in single-toothed high wooden clogs had a look of disgust on her face. She hid in the protection of the curse-returning barrier, walking in the puddles with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and carefully pulled the hem of her kimono to prevent it from getting wet on the ground.

"Hahahaha...it turns out there are monsters like this underground."

Yumen Tenzen squinted his eyes and smiled.

He had previously taken out a glowing orb from his arms, and its powerful spiritual power formed an absolute barrier against magical attacks.

The giant frogs were also surprised that the acid attack was ineffective, so they spit out their long, thin tongues. The tip of the tongue was sharper than a spear and could penetrate rock.

However, at this moment, the huge steel-colored tail coiled around like a giant snake, blocking all attacks.

"...It's such a dirty and ugly thing."

The fox girl spoke unkindly, but she was just defending herself and had no further plans.

"Fighting with this kind of trash is truly disgusting~~ Old man, why don't you take care of them?"

"Miss Zhu Ling is still as willful as before."

The fat old man smiled and said, "It was the same as before. If you had used the foresight of the 'item', we wouldn't have been attacked and ended up like this, right?"

"what?"

The fox girl sneered arrogantly, "Old Ghost, what are you talking about? Why should I use the power of 'item'? I'm just dealing with a few pieces of trash. You're just too careless, so you fell into their trap, right?"

"is it?"

Yu Men Tianchan exuded a strong murderous aura with a smile.

"Miss Zhu Ling is really generous. I hope you can still put on such a face in front of that master the next time you fail in your mission."

"Old ghost, if you want to die, just tell me. I don't mind helping you become a Buddha right now..."

The fox girl Zhu Ling's blood-red lips twisted, and her whole body exuded a murderous aura. Just by being between the two of them, one could feel the temperature around them seemed to rise.

boom!
Suddenly, a large frog with dark red skin rushed out. It took a deep breath, its abdomen swelled, and at the same time, it spit out a fireball from its mouth.

A fireball the size of an adult's head emitted bursts of sparks and exploded on the steel tail, which made the fox girl Zhu Ling unhappy.

"Go away!"

The fox tail, as huge as a giant snake, swept across, sweeping away the fireball and the big red frog not far away.

"Old ghost, you have lifted the curse barrier."

She looked at Yumen Tenzen with hatred.

"Don't you really want to die?"

"it's not true."

The fat old man laughed.

"However, it seems that it would be inconvenient for Miss Zhu Ling and I to work together. Should we each act separately?"

Without wasting any words, he put away the orb, bounced away like a ball, and flew out in the other direction.

"This damn old ghost."

The fox girl Zhu Ling cursed, but after the fat old man Yu Men Tianchan left, she rolled her cunning eyes and revealed a hint of a sneer.

"That's good, I finally got rid of this troublesome guy... From now on, I can do whatever I want."

When she said this, she tapped the ground with her toes and disappeared from where she was, obviously moving quickly in another direction.

……

In the dark third space.

After a fierce battle, Bai Jie's face and clothes were covered with mud, and his breathing began to become irregular. He clenched his teeth, bit his lips hard, and looked down at the spear in his hand.

"I never thought...the gun would break."

The seven-section spear was a pretty good gun, but after so many battles, it had become severely damaged, and he had taken good care of it.

However, any weapon has its limits. There are already several cracks on the gun barrel, and the same is true for the gun blade.

"Perhaps there's a limit to how much spiritual energy it can hold... The core of the spear shaft is made of sacred wood, but excessive use will break it..."

Just then, two big frogs pounced from the left and right sides. Bai Jie raised his gun, but not to pierce the enemy.

Instead, he avoided the impact of a big frog, and at the moment when the other big frog spit out acid and its tongue, he used his gun to block the opponent's attack, and then launched a counterattack after confirming the frog monster's actions and making predictions.

Now, the spear is overwhelmed and cannot be used indiscriminately.

Baijie switched his thoughts to how to avoid and defend.

Very good, the big frog on the right took the lead and did not spit out acid, but attacked with its webbed claws.

He deflected the incoming claw with his gun, kicked it off the ground, and created some distance between him and the other one.

He had to fight conservatively, bouncing, catching, and blocking, or using the gun to support his body in order to avoid losing balance.

"This fighting style... is really troublesome!"

He jumped up with the spear handle in hand, avoiding the attack of the frogs, and used the tail end of the spear to poke the eye of one of the frogs. He turned the spear over and shot several Qi Luo arrows from the tip, killing the other frog.

Because of the severe consumption of spiritual power, he did not use methods such as shrinking the earth. Instead, he swung his spear and stabbed another big frog to death from a blind spot.

"Huh...it really consumes too much physical and spiritual energy."

Baijie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that... my relationship?"

Ayaka lay on his back.

"—Is it because of me, this burden?"

"it's not true."

Baijie shook his head.

"Let's not talk about this for now... Let's quickly find a safe place to hide. This is the third level of the maze, and it's not a safe place."

He looked around at the pitch-black darkness, feeling confused about his next move.

"...I just hope that help can arrive soon?"
