Chapter 747: Labyrinth

Withered and desolate.

Waves of rotten, damp air seeped into the nostrils.

Dark green weeds sprouted from the labyrinth's stone tiles, slightly easing the endless gray-white.

Rather than calling it a labyrinth, it's more like a complex, intertwined palace.

More or less.

Upon being transmitted into the labyrinth, all Awakened Ones instinctively stayed alert and huddled together.

Although the protective shield had vanished, no one dared to act.

Having learned from past strength trials, before the situation was clear, humans would not readily attack each other.

Looking up at the labyrinth's ceiling, the vast passageways extended in all directions, each seeming endless.

"Where... is this?"

He blurted out the question subconsciously.

An Awakened One, half-crouched and ready to flee at any moment, warily scanned the surroundings.

"Labyrinth?"

"Are we supposed to rely on speed to escape the labyrinth?"

His expression showed tension and bewildered confusion.

The voice echoed.

This Awakened One voiced what everyone present was thinking.

The next second, the system's prompt sounded instantly:

"Agility Trial."

"No time limit, rules unchanged."

"All trial participants retain only agility attributes; other attributes and equipment are weakened by 70%."

"Retain nerve reaction speed."

"The labyrinth contains an unknown number of rooms, each room holding special produce."

"In this trial, staying in a room for 10 seconds yields 1 point."

"Passages outside rooms do not count toward points."

"Participants cannot leave the trial while inside a room, but may choose to exit the trial at any time from the labyrinth passages when not in combat."

A puzzling prompt.

Over 5000 agility-system Awakened Ones stared blankly at the system announcement.

"No monsters... or maybe they just didn't say!?"

"Just staying in a room for 10 seconds earns points?"

"Compared to the strength trial, this trial undoubtedly sounds much simpler."

"Just."

Many quick-thinking Survivors felt their hearts sink.

The news of increased difficulty could not be false.

Often, the simpler a task appears, the more terrifying it is.

"Staying in a room, doesn't that indicate there's danger inside?"

What unsettled everyone was that, although the scene resembled a labyrinth, the system never mentioned exiting it.

"Go!"

He waved his hand broadly.

Clad in bio-armor, Chen Yangtian suddenly appeared in this trial as well.

Possessing both strength and agility systems, he did not choose to promote to third rank.

Having shown formidable performance in the Strength Dungeon, he was again entrusted to lead the team for this trial.

"Follow me."

"Don't rush into the rooms; first observe from outside."

He pondered for a moment.

Chen Yangtian showed a confident smile, inevitably easing the hearts of his fellow fighters:

"No accidents."

"The labyrinth passages are basically safe."

"The rooms likely have problems; if I let you enter, do not touch anything inside!"

As his words fell, everyone responded in unison, their expressions solemn.

Although General Chen's behavior had changed somewhat after emerging from the strength trial,

but everyone thought he had broken through his limits in a high-difficulty mission.

Footsteps reverberated.

As the side with the most personnel, the Huaxia war zone naturally drew the gazes of Awakened Ones who had been transmitted nearby.

"Keep up!"

His expression was urgent.

Dozens of Awakened Ones from minor war zones hurriedly followed Chen Yangtian's steps.

The troop's numbers increased again.

It didn't matter if someone followed him.

Gazing at the labyrinth's towering top, over ten meters high, Chen Yangtian's eyes flickered with doubt.

When I came in, I seemed to see Lin An...

How come everywhere, there he is..

This guy, after surviving by hiding in the strength trial, really thinks he can survive this trial too?

Or perhaps, finally ran into his forte?

In the intelligence, Lin An's information has always remained at that broadcast deathmatch scene.

Mental system confirmed, agility system suspected.

Also didn't think much of it.

Although I seriously suspected Lin An had issues from the start, later subordinates reported that Lin An seemed to be jealous over a love rivalry with the Soviet War Zone leader.

After a simple judgment, he again denied the possibility that Lin An was the mission completer.

Not only that.

Eyes flickered.

"That man with bare upper body and tattooed patterns is somewhat strange."

Left a deep impression.

After coming out of the strength trial, many people noticed this person.

No companion, and even didn't know which war zone he was from.

The other party turned out to be one of the three, another who chose solo trial.

Chen Yangtian,???, tattooed man.

That is, the awakened one who chose to enter alone in the previous strength trial.

"Agility trial, this guy also participated..."

The tattooed man, as a major suspect, Chen Yangtian muttered to himself and quickly led the team through the long labyrinth.

Lin Dui, what mischief are you up to in this trial?

Shouldering a wolf-tooth club, Zhang Tie stood carelessly in the middle of the passage, with Zhang Yong and others following behind.

Even though almost none of Zhang Yong's group were dual-system awakened ones.

But everyone still silently and voluntarily participated in the trial, serving as a points charging bank for Lin An.

Fortunately, the awakened ones led by Zhang Yong and the Latin American awakened ones obediently exchanged attribute points.

Otherwise, many people on the field would have only a pitiful 18 or 9 agility points.

"Lin An, what do you say, what should we do!"

Holding her head high, Fiona looked at Lin An and quickly expressed her stance.

On the other side.

"Special product, duration."

Lin An stood at the front of the team, quietly repeating the system announcement.

As expected, he still accepted the perfect-level trial mission.

But this time, he had no extra information.

He didn't even know what the perfect mission required.

"The longer you stay, the greater the danger."

"Inside the room, it should be the weeping angel."

After a little thought, Lin An calmly gave his judgment.

After talking with the Second Will, he abandoned his previous extensive speculation and went straight to the simplest idea.

Anyway, this trial is probably tailor-made for him again.

"Go, let's find a room first and then talk."

Eyes flickered.

Lin An gazed at the dim labyrinth passage, subconsciously recording the passage structure in his mind.

There is danger inside the room, likely just one of the difficulties of this trial.

The perfect-level trial is likely related to exiting the labyrinth.

Although the system didn't say so, it doesn't prevent him from making this judgment.

This time, the number of awakened ones following him reached over thirty.

If the reward is the same as last trial, each person gets 200 points.

6000 points, and then we can scrape together...

Maybe completing another physique trial would allow us to gather enough points.

Everyone followed, everyone nervously trailed behind Lin An; on the labyrinth walls, groups of strange reliefs were unsettling.

"Found it!"

"There really is a room!"

Dizzy and disoriented.

Almost unable to tell east from west, over twenty Turkish War Zone awakened ones stared excitedly, fixedly gazing at a tightly shut relief stone door.

From within the door, waves of cool air seeped out silently through the stone cracks.
