At this moment, the crow seemed to have discovered something and called out ‘Ah’, and picked up a shiny object from the ground and handed it to Xia Nuo. At this moment, the little girl ran up to him.

At this moment, he got a reminder: ‘Eye of the Raven’ has found a mid-rare treasure for you.

Before Xia Nuo had time to see what it was, the little girl grabbed his right hand and dragged him forward.

At this time, he couldn’t think too much. After all, the monsters were only tens of metres away from them, as if they would catch up and tear them into pieces the next moment. Xia Nuo had no choice but to follow the little girl’s strength and run quickly.

“Why are they chasing you—?” Xia Nuo asked while running in the not-so-wide maze passage.

“In order to do the task, I picked the fruit of the red tree in their territory—” The little girl replied out of breath, “The instinct of these monsters is to kill the intruders, even if I return the fruit now, it’s useless—”

If Xia Nuo knew how far the territory of these monsters was from here, he would definitely admire the little girl’s will and physical strength deeply.

Before they met, the little girl had already been chased by the monster for several kilometres, and only now did she show signs of fatigue.

“Don’t worry, they can’t catch up with us for the time being—” The little girl also regretted her recklessness, and quickly explained to Xia Nuo, “Go straight to the end of this road. If you turn left, there is a holy spring. After passing the holy spring, you will be at a gathering place for players—”

It was too far away just now, and she didn’t realise that this was a novice player who had just entered the maze. She didn’t realise it until she walked in, but it was too late at this time.

She somewhat regretted involving Xia Nuo. After all, he had just entered the game and was forced to face such a ‘big scene’ by her.

But who made this passage the only shortcut to the player gathering place?

Even if it happens again, the little girl still has to choose this path.

Xia Nuo looked forward, only seeing a seemingly endless passage, and he couldn’t see the existence of the fork in the road.

“How long, how long will it take—?”

His physical strength was not good, but after running such a short distance, he began to pant.

The little girl gave him a concerned look, and said without hesitation: “It will take about ten minutes.”

After ten minutes, Xia Nuo thought about it and felt that he could still accept it.

The little girl comforted him again: “Don’t worry, they won’t be able to catch up with us for the time being.”

She repeated what she said before, and added: “This kind of monster is born with short legs. With their speed, we will definitely be able to escape.”

Hearing this, Xia Nuo couldn’t help but look back, and he couldn’t help sighing: “It’s really short.”

I didn’t notice it because I was too nervous before. Although these monsters with long fangs and ferocious faces looked tall, their four legs were surprisingly short, as if they were born with underdevelopment.

When they run, they rely entirely on the high-frequency swing of their limbs. In fact, Xia Nuo takes a step, and the distance travelled is three times that of theirs.

The reason why they are not thrown off now is entirely due to the steadfast sliding of their short legs.

And the billowing smoke and dust Xia Nuo saw at the beginning were also caused by their low chassis and long hairs sweeping the ground. It looked very bluffing, but once you knew the reason, it seemed a bit funny.

Xia Nuo really couldn’t hold back, and burst out laughing all of a sudden: “They, why are they so funny?”

In this way, most of the tension caused by being chased by monsters can’t help but be eliminated, and the originally hideous monsters actually look a little cute under this filter.

“Isn’t it interesting?” The little girl was relieved when she saw him smile, and the guilt in her heart faded a lot.

But to be honest, there is also a bonus of a youthful appearance. If it was a middle-aged uncle with an obscene appearance who was implicated by her, she probably wouldn’t feel so guilty, let alone hold that man’s hand and run away with him.

But this can’t be helped, who made this an era of looking at faces?

There is no comparison between a middle-aged uncle and a cute-looking small brother.

The little girl thought of it as a matter of course, and said in a sweet voice: “Little brother, my name is Xi Xi, what’s your name? How did you come to this game?”

“My name is Chang An.” From her words, Xia Nuo keenly noticed something wrong, “Is there anything wrong with this game?”

Chang An.

Hearing this name, the little girl’s face changed slightly, but she quickly covered it up. When Xia Nuo looked over, she still had a sweet smile on her face: “Of course, there is a problem! Pretty brother, don’t look at my young age, I have actually been trapped in this game for a year!”

“Once you can’t get out of this maze, you can’t leave the game. You can only stay here and can’t leave. Players who don’t need to wash points generally won’t come here!”

“Wash points?” Xia Nuo couldn’t help asking when he heard an unfamiliar word.

“The players who have been killed countless times use this as a workstation to earn enough points to pay off their debts.” The little girl explained succinctly.

Although she looks young, she knows much more information than the average senior player.

“But little brother, you don’t look like you are here to wash points, you were not tricked by someone, right?”

She knows countless people, and she can tell at a glance that the boy is not the kind of senior player who has experienced many worlds, nor is he the kind of anxious and depressed who has failed many times and owed huge points.

Aside from his attractive appearance, the boy can barely be regarded as an ordinary normal player.

Xia Nuo was silent for a while, did not say that he was arranged by the system, but asked instead, “Are you also here to wash points?”

“Of course not!” Speaking of this, the little girl looked angrily, “If I hadn’t received a commission, I wouldn’t have come here!”

Thinking of this, she was very upset.

You know, before accepting this commission, the employer didn’t tell her that this game is so difficult to pass!

“To get out of this labyrinth, you must get a map drawn by the Demon King himself, but that map disappeared many years ago, so far, no one has found any clues about the map. The difficulty of this game is simply beyond the S level! “The little girl complained exaggeratedly.

Xia Nuo: “…”

When he heard the word ‘devil king’, his thoughts froze for a moment. The demon just mentioned the devil king, right?

“Then why don’t you ask the devil about the whereabouts of the map? Or ask him to draw a new map?” Xia Nuo didn’t think about the devil’s last words for the time being but raised his own question.

“The key is that we have no way to find the Demon King!” The little girl’s expression is even more complicated and difficult to distinguish. “It is said that the palace of the devil king is located in the very centre of the maze, which is the so-called 0 degrees latitude of the moon, but until now, no one has actually reached there. The player with the most progress has only explored 30% of the maze. “

Seeing that Xia Nuo hadn’t realised the seriousness of the problem, she added blankly: “This is the result of his hard work for fifteen years.”

Xia Nuo: “…”

“Is there no other way?” He asked in surprise.

In any case, there will not be such a game world that cannot be cleared, right?

“Yes, yes.” There was obvious hesitation on the little girl’s face. Facing Xia Nuo’s eyes full of curiosity, she hesitated for a while and said, “If you die, you can leave this world.”

It is also the legendary ‘die out’, which is an alternative forced exit.

“However, it is better not to use this method unless it is absolutely necessary.” The little girl shook her head, “Once you leave this game through death, all the points and props you got in it will be cleared, and the points required for death will also be deducted, so players are generally not encouraged to use this method.”

Ordinary people are unwilling to experience the feeling of death, let alone those players who wash points. Once they die, all their original efforts will be in vain.

Before she finished speaking, the fork in the road that Xia Nuo had been looking forward to for a long time appeared in front of her eyes. Before he could be happy, the monster behind him let out a deafening roar.

I don’t know whether it was angry at the attitude of the two humans in front who ignored them and chatted while running away, or because they had a premonition that the two were about to escape their pursuit, the monster also began to take action.

The monster running in front leaned down, and the monster behind stepped on its back and jumped up high, jumping four or five metres away in an instant, almost hooking Xia Nuo’s clothes.

Fortunately, Xia Nuo reacted quickly and quickly turned into the left channel, only to avoid its attack.

The monster’s blow missed but they still didn’t give up. They repeated their tricks, and the monster behind stepped on the back of their companions and jumped, shortening the distance to them in an instant.

“What should we do now—?!” Xia Nuo asked anxiously.

The little girl was also a little worried. Although she had lived in the maze for a year, she didn’t know much about the habits of this monster, let alone thought that they would come up with such a way.

Moreover, she has always used her wisdom to solve problems before. When it comes to force, she will definitely not be the opponent of such a large group of monsters.

The little girl was thinking hard about the solution when suddenly, she saw a little crystal clear light leaking from Xia Nuo’s other hand.

“Little brother, throw the magic crystal in your hand into the spring!” she shouted loudly.
