Chapter 420

Luo Chenyu couldn't be bothered to explain; he had already seen the wall's attributes through 【Insight Eye】 earlier, so he knew… this was the real shortcut to speedrunning the dungeon.

Walk through a maze?

Don't even think about it!!

It takes brains and effort—just clicking is so much easier.

"Another day of lying flat. Following Brother Yu is really relaxing!"

"Exactly, exactly…"

"Doesn't the Sea God Maze have any monsters besides traps? It's been over ten minutes and we haven't seen a single one!"

"God knows. It's probably just a fun dungeon—besides the final BOSS, there aren't any other mobs. But that's fine too, saves worry and effort."

"Wuhu~ This wall looks kind of familiar, seems like the same pattern as the one right at the maze entrance."

"You even remember that?"

"Obviously, I'm a maze expert. If Brother Yu weren't so fierce, wouldn't you all have to beg me to lead the way through this dungeon!"

"True… he's got something. This wall is seriously hard—it actually took Brother Yu over a dozen hits from his club."

"…"

Boom!!

The chat of the five salted-fish teammates was cut off by a violent crash; a huge hole had appeared once again in the wall before them.

Through the big hole, their view suddenly opened up wide.

A plaza appeared in their sight.

The maze…

Was through!!

Luo Chenyu shook his aching arm and smiled: "Path cleared, mission complete!!"

Guan Yuzun: "…"

Speechless-Complaint. jpg!

He really couldn't understand the brain circuits of a brute.

No path? Just smash one out with a spiked club.

True·Path-clearing!

Luo Chenyu strode forward, stepping right onto the plaza. Looking at the empty square, he turned and said: "This should be the final battleground. What do you all think?"

"Wait!"

Guan Yuzun said just one word, then began carefully examining the surroundings.

Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out.

"Holy crap, the whole plaza is a maze too!!"

"Huh? Madman, how did you figure that out?"

Madman—the one who had earlier bragged about being a "maze expert"—pointed at the floor tiles on the plaza and said: "Look closely. Every tile has a pattern on it, doesn't it look a lot like the ones on the walls before?"

"Huh? Your eyes are that sharp? You actually noticed that?"

"Obviously, besides watching Brother Yu's fierceness, what else can you all do?"

Madman flew up, looking down at the ground from midair.

"I'm truly a genius. Maybe this is the real Sea God Maze!"

Luo Chenyu looked at Madman in the air with surprise—truly all geniuses, able to spot such tiny details so quickly.

The instant Madman spoke up,

he had already used 【Insight Eye】 to check the tiles. Sure enough, just as Madman said, the real Sea God Maze was this plaza.

As long as the maze was solved, the final BOSS could be summoned.

"Next, watch my performance!"

Madman shouted, his gaze constantly sweeping the plaza floor, his mind spinning at high speed.

However…

At this moment, Luo Chenyu had already raised his spiked club high…

"No!!"

Madman let out a frantic cry, "Brother Yu, give me a chance!!"

A chance?

If there's a shortcut, why use your brain?

Luo Chenyu gave a slight smile.

His goal wasn't to solve the maze—it was to trigger the hidden BOSS!

"Don't worry, you'll still get your chance later!"

As he spoke, the spiked club had already fallen, the violent crash echoing across the plaza.

Crack!

The sound of shattering rang out—but it wasn't the tiles being smashed, it was the mysterious patterns on the tiles that broke!

At the same time,

a violent tremor rose up.

All the tiles were quivering, the eerie patterns glowing with an aqua-blue light.

Suddenly, jets of water surged up from the patterns.

They finally formed countless water-element monsters, charging at everyone to attack.

"Brothers, let me handle this!"

Luo Chenyu leapt up violently, the divine artifact skill 【Pillar of Heaven】, slamming directly into the ground.

So many monsters, whether they give experience or not.

He has to kill them all!

After all…

Right now his shield is still at its base value, and a wide-area, high-output skill like 【Pillar of Heaven】 is the most satisfying way to stack shields!

Especially since there's still a BOSS to fight later—how could he possibly give up such a chance.

Boom!!

Damage numbers popped up in clusters, and the plaza instantly fell silent.

Along with the attack, every water-element monster within the skill's range died, and the patterns on the floor tiles shattered along with them.

But…

The water-element monsters still hadn't been completely wiped out.

"Set up the formation!!"

Luo Chenyu shouted.

However… the five "ornaments" were all dumbfounded.

Set up a formation?

What formation do they even have?

How could he jump around like this!!

At this moment, Luo Chenyu's voice came again.

"Spread out around me at two-hundred-meter intervals, and I'll show you what real monster-farming looks like!"

The art of chain-shield detonation!

Using teammates as a medium to maximize the blast radius of 【Steel Shield】!

The five teammates didn't hesitate, spreading out in a five-pointed formation centered on Luo Chenyu!

"Then, let's begin!"

Luo Chenyu smiled slightly and detonated the 【Steel Shield】 on them.

Nearly ten million shield points detonated.

The devastating damage annihilated every water-element monster.

Following that.

Another 【Steel Shield】 was applied!

Waiting for the distant water-element monsters to come forward and die!

Dong Yiyue gazed at the clusters of dying water-element monsters and the surging experience bar, her eyes full of admiration.
