Main Text Volume Chapter 102 Parchment
Angel stepped onto the stairs again, still climbing the endless stone steps in the dark.
On the other side, a figure suddenly appeared in the central area of the sewer maze——
It has been two days since Sanders entered the sewer maze. He encountered countless monsters along the way, and many monsters had to avoid him with his strength. Finally, two days later, Sanders finally arrived at the central area of the sewer maze.
After these days of tossing, the gentleman's suit that Sanders originally wore has now become wrinkled, and there are even holes and bloodstains at the joints, which shows the hardships he has gone through.
Sanders recalled the crises he encountered along the way, and couldn't help but sigh. If his little apprentice was really teleported to the underground maze, how long could he last? 1 minute? Or 2 minutes? Since he entered the underground maze, he has encountered monsters almost every minute. Although many monsters are not strong, this is compared with his strength. If it was Angel who encountered them, there would be almost no hope of survival.
Therefore, Sanders could only calculate how long Angel could last in the underground maze in seconds.
Thinking of his new apprentice falling in the nightmare world, Sanders couldn't help but sigh. Although he valued Angel's talent, sometimes luck was also important. It seemed that Angel was an unlucky guy with talent but no luck.
As for the assumption that Angel was still alive, Sanders had never thought about it. You know, even Sanders encountered several life-and-death crises in a row. For example, when he was fighting against the flying head monster, he accidentally stepped into a tunnel without light. That tunnel was the magic flower tunnel, and he was scared and ran back immediately.
Although he ran very fast, he was still scratched by the thorny vines of several magic flowers. The reason why his clothes had holes and blood stains was caused by that encounter.
Even he himself was almost in danger, let alone Angel, who was still a mortal.
Reaching the central area does not mean real safety. There is still one last level. Sanders looked at the densely packed Wumu ghosts around him and sighed slightly. There must be at least thousands of Wumu ghosts, right?
Although Wumu ghosts are low-level monsters, the gathering of so many Wumu ghosts is also a spectacle.
Sanders speculated secretly: Could it be that the Wumu ghosts' activity area has become smaller due to the invasion of some high-level monsters? Otherwise, why are these Wumu ghosts gathered in one place?
To deal with such low-level monsters, Sanders picked up his cane and waved it, and the magic power flooded the front area like a waterfall.
A minute later, Sanders crushed the last Wumu ghost, then left a pile of corpses and walked towards the center. When Sanders walked in front of the peeing child statue, there was no trace of any monster behind him.
Looking at the familiar statue, the child's face was obviously happy, but he read a bit of sarcasm... Originally planned to rely on Angel's talent to get the guidance method, it seems that this time he will return empty-handed again.
This is the sixth time Sanders has come here in hundreds of years. "So you are mocking my incompetence?" Sanders looked at the statue of the child with a brilliant smile and whispered.
Sanders sighed softly for his repeated failures, then jumped lightly to the edge of the pool. He went around the back of the statue and prepared to go to the place where the guidance method was. Whether he returned empty-handed this time or not, he still planned to look at the guidance method again. Maybe a miracle would happen this time and let him remember it?
Suddenly, Sanders froze in place.
The wooden door at the base of the statue of the peeing child was actually open? ! Sanders looked at the open door in disbelief!
The buildings in the nightmare world are very magical. No matter how you destroy them, they will eventually repair themselves. Just like before, he actually wanted to smash the statue of the peeing child with a punch, but he didn't do it because the statue would soon recover again. With this characteristic, smashing the statue is a complete waste of effort.
The door at the base of the statue is the same. Even if it is opened, it will automatically close soon.
Unless——
There are still creatures on the hanging ladder behind the door! Otherwise, the wooden door cannot be open all the time!
"Is there a creature on the hanging ladder behind the door? Is it a monster that accidentally broke in, or... a human?" A blond and blue-eyed boy suddenly flashed in Sanders' mind.
The probability of a monster breaking in is not high, so... could it be him?
"Angel, I hope it's you." Sanders's face, which was originally a little disappointed, suddenly raised a smile. With a leap, he entered the door of the statue base.
...
Angel, who was still climbing the stairs, didn't know that his cheap mentor had also stepped into this staircase.
Angel climbed the ladder for a long time, but still didn't see the end. The holographic tablet showed that it had been almost three hours. During this period, Angel also saw many rooms opened by the stairs. The furnishings in the room were similar to those in the first room, but the things in the bedside table were different.
Except for the green book in the first room, the bedside tables in other rooms were basically filled with daily necessities, and most of them had rotted into ashes.
Angell had not found anything valuable so far.
Not far away, Angell saw another door emitting light. Angell had long been accustomed to this. According to the rules, he would see a room every ten to fifteen minutes.
Angell entered the room to search as usual. At first, he was still excited about treasure hunting, but after searching dozens of rooms, he calmed down a lot. Because the furnishings were similar, no matter how excited he was, he would get tired because of continuous lack of gains.
But this room brought him a little surprise.
Because the furnishings of this small room have changed. It is no longer as simple as the previous room, but there is an additional bedroom. Although the furniture has not changed, the space is indeed much larger.
There was nothing found in the outer hall, and Angel went to the bedroom to take a look. There was still a bedside table next to the bed, and this cabinet had two layers, and the storage space was much larger.
Angel pried open the lock and opened the top layer first. He found that it contained several pieces of clothing that would definitely weather if touched. The things in the lower cabinet made his eyes light up, because there was a tied sheepskin roll inside.
Angel carefully took out the sheepskin roll. It felt very warm and solid, with no signs of weathering.
Untie the rope of the sheepskin roll, throw it on the bed, and slowly unfold it. Soon, a strange image appeared in Angel's eyes. It looked like a map, but the strange thing was that this map was drawn inside a monster. The monster seemed to be a humanoid creature, with complete hands and feet, and posing in a strange posture.
Ingres didn't know what was in the scroll, but he was determined not to miss it if he passed by. After taking a video of it, he was still not satisfied and put the scroll in his pocket, ready to take it away.
