Chapter 229 The Key to the End?
This was also the only time he had explicitly forbidden them from following Lin Ye since they began following him.

So what comes before that?

Liang Houyun also perked up, looking somewhat eager to try.

Lin Ye did not allow the three to follow, undoubtedly because there was danger ahead, and not the kind of danger that they had encountered before that could be easily dealt with.

The three people were also somewhat curious at this moment.

"Behind this passage is an insect nest, with lots and lots of insects, the kind that are densely packed together..." Lin Ye shrugged.

He didn't care; as long as he transformed into his Holy Shadow form, he could avoid being harmed by these insects.

As for the little white flower in his hand, Lin Ye naturally had a way to protect it.

"Tsk..."

Upon hearing this, Liang Houyun was clearly disappointed. He had thought it was an opportunity to show off his skills, but it turned out to be just some insects.

The other three people looked at each other in bewilderment.

If that's the case, then it's definitely not a place they can just walk in on their own.

Although they had been in this maze for a long time, it was still undeniable that it was an alternate dimension of level 80.

Even the worst insects Lin Ye mentioned are still level 80 monsters from another dimension...

For a powerhouse like Liang Houyun, who is at level 80, they might indeed be nothing more than 'insects'.

But to them, those were genuine level 80 monsters.

If they were bitten by even a small insect, they would all die instantly. Therefore, Lin Ye's decision to keep them here was indeed for their personal safety.

If you refuse to listen to advice and die, don't blame Lin Ye for not reviving you.

After all, those who do evil will not live long.

They told you to stay in a safe place, but you still insisted on going to your death. Who can you blame then?
They even forgot the fact that Lin Ye's rank seemed to be lower than theirs.

There's nothing we can do; the strength and demeanor Lin Ye displayed were simply not what a level 30 professional should be like.

They sensed an authority in Lin Ye that far surpassed that of their superiors.

Moving forward would mean certain death, while staying here offered a glimmer of hope; they had no choice but to stay here.

"Let's go!"

Lin Ye had already transformed into his Saint Shadow form and stepped into the passage.

"What's the rush! Wait for me!"

Liang Houyun was startled and immediately followed, fearing that Lin Ye might encounter some danger.

Watching the two disappear into the passage one after the other, the three people present secretly prayed that Lin Ye would succeed as soon as possible.

In fact, their willingness to join the raiding party already indicated that they were mentally prepared to die inside the maze.

Of course, Lin Ye's appearance now gives them hope of conquering the maze. Most importantly, they can also get out of this maze alive!
This gave them all a feeling of surviving a disaster.

……

On the other side, Lin Ye transformed into a holy shadow, surrounded by countless insects that were flying wildly and attacking him from all angles.

However, their attack was doomed to failure.

Because these insects can pass through the forest without any obstruction, and cannot touch the forest's body at all.

This purely physical attack had absolutely no effect on Lin Ye.

As for the little white flower in Lin Ye's hand, it was now covered in a layer of white flames. The insects couldn't even touch the little white flower before being burned to ashes.

The Forest's Undying Sacred Flame, besides being used for attacking and moving, can also attach itself to objects, causing damage to surrounding monsters.

Under the holy flame, these little insects were indeed no different from ordinary mosquitoes.

"Holy Impact!"

The next moment, Liang Houyun stepped into the passage. With a roar, a blazing holy light burst forth from his body and rapidly expanded.

Along the way, countless insects were crushed to pieces!

A flash of holy light, and almost all the surrounding insects were wiped out!
"How was it? Cool, right?" Liang Houyun clapped his hands, looking smugly at Lin Ye, eager to show off. But Lin Ye completely ignored him.

Before Liang Houyun could say anything more, a noisy buzzing sound came from all around.

"Holy crap? There's more?" Liang Houyun was dumbfounded.

I thought Lin Ye didn't want to bring those three burdens along, but I never expected this place to be so eerie.

I have no idea where these bugs came from.

No wonder Lin Ye didn't let those three burdens in. With their low level, if they had come in, they might have really died.

As for the forest...

Such an extraordinary existence cannot be viewed through the lens of how we view normal people.

It could be said that Lin Ye was even more composed than Liang Houyun.

The insects seemed to be attracted by the stench emanating from Liang Houyun, and immediately swarmed towards him like madmen.

This left Liang Houyun somewhat bewildered.

Physical numbness...

"Holy crap... poisonous! These bugs are poisonous, my whole body is numb, oh my god! Quick, find a passage! Help!" Liang Houyun exclaimed.

At this rate, he'll die!

No matter how skilled he was or how strong his combat techniques were, he could only passively endure being bitten by these overwhelming swarms of insects!

Lin Ye ignored Liang Houyun. With that guy's health bar, it would be a joke if he could be killed by these little bugs!

After searching for a while, Lin Ye finally found a passage.

"This way!"

Lin Ye called out.

Upon hearing this, Liang Houyun immediately rushed over in a great hurry.

Lin Ye, however, stepped into the passage first.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the forest, revealing a cave filled with pure crystals. A beam of light fell from the top of the cave through a small hole, and after being reflected by the crystals, it illuminated the entire space.

"Ouch, it almost bit me to death..."

Liang Houyun followed closely behind and also arrived at the cave, still cursing under his breath.

Is this the end?

He looked up, but saw no passageway whatsoever...

This is truly the first time I've seen something like this.

Even with the previous grid, there were at least two or three lanes for you to choose from.

But here, there isn't a single one.

"No, we haven't reached the end yet. We need to find the key ourselves to get through here," Lin Ye shook his head.

This is what he saw in the information on the channel.

The message in this space is: 'Find the key, use the most important crystal, and open the nameless tomb.'

As for what the key is, that's indeed hard to understand.

Looking at the crystals growing scattered across the open ground of the cave, Lin Ye suddenly seemed to realize something.

"Brother Liang, don't you think this is the map of the maze we've entered?"

Lin Ye then asked.

Liang Houyun looked at Lin Ye as if he were a lunatic and said, "Aren't the passages in this maze supposed to be random? Where did you get a map from?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye remained silent, merely gazing thoughtfully at the crystals before him.
