Chapter 229 Mountain

Feng Ling couldn't help but think about the possibility that Huangfu Miaomiao was still alive.

Huangfu Miaomiao actively followed the parade of gods that even the rat monsters tried to avoid, and then they disappeared. There must be huge and unknown dangers ahead.

It seems she needs to be prepared.

Maybe... the little skeleton is dead.

Life and death are unpredictable. Even in peacetime, there are many people in this world who die unexpectedly. What's more, they are in the maze, where life and death are just a matter of a moment.

Regretful?
Heartache?
...seems to be a little bit.

Although it was just a small alien species, even if it died, it would not have much impact on her life, but after all, they had been together for a period of time, and occasionally she would have the illusion that she had a family.

Her good friend Ling Feiran in the orphanage dreams of building her own family and having a real family.

Feng Ling was disdainful of this. She felt that starting a family was not a dream at all. Ling Feiran was just healing from her childhood trauma. This behavior was as unrealistic as trying to catch the moon in the water.

Now it seems that she herself is also a monkey trying to reach the moon.

The team in front was getting farther and farther away, all the way into the fog.

If we don't catch up, we might lose sight of this parade.

"Should we... still follow?" Xu Yiming looked at Feng Ling uncertainly.

Li Qing and Ye Zheng also looked at Feng Ling.

Feng Ling gradually came back to his senses and looked at them.

——Why is it fishing for the moon in the water? Because the comings and goings between people are often fooled by fate.

I hope the little skeleton can be smart and log off as soon as possible when in danger. The points I have earned during this period are enough...

"Let's go." Feng Ling said calmly, and walked quickly to catch up with the wandering team.

They sped up.

……

After chasing all the way, I met a few more mice.

Feng Ling watched with his own eyes as the procession of gods grew longer and longer.

A very wide road appeared in front of them, and they had to come down from the roof and follow the parade team across the wide road. Then Feng Ling saw a string of red lanterns.

She immediately knew where she was.

"The center of the maze is in front of us, that mountain..." She looked at Li Qing and Xu Yiming, "Do you remember that mountain?"

Li Qing and Xu Yiming's faces changed.

They were impressed by the video footage shot by the drone, which showed a huge "mountain" made of flesh and blood in the middle of the maze.

Although no one knows what this "mountain" is, it is definitely very dangerous.

If Huangfu Miaomiao followed the parade here, who knows what would happen.

Ye Zheng had never seen the video, so he frowned and asked them, "What mountain?"

Feng Ling felt that this might not be explained in words. He stared at the fog in front of him and said faintly, "Since we are here, let's go and take a look."

She walked forward, and Ye Zheng and Xu Yiming followed. After a few steps, they found that Li Qing had not followed, so they turned around to look at him. Li Qing stood there with an ugly face, and for the first time he regretted his decision.

"Feng Ling, this maze may have really collapsed as you said... If we continue to move forward, something might happen that we will all regret."

Xu Yiming was anxious, "Why are you backing out at this critical moment? Miaomiao is right in front of us. No matter if there is danger or not, we have to go and take a look!"

Ye Zheng also asked in confusion: "You and your friends invited us in, why did you regret it?"

"This place is not normal..." Li Qing looked into the distance, feeling uneasy. "There is nothing here that should be in a maze. There is no safe zone, no idol, no maze master... nothing. There are only infinitely multiplying rat monsters and a giant meat mountain of unknown origin. The maze has collapsed, and the system has collapsed. Is there any point in us conquering this place?"

When people encounter something they cannot understand, they feel fear.

The maze in front of him disrupted Li Qing's understanding of the system. He was very scared at the moment, extremely scared.

He looked at Feng Ling and tried to explain his concerns. "That huge monster is most likely the Lord of the Maze, but look at the fog here. The color has not changed at all. According to the normal maze mechanism, when we get close to the Lord of the Maze, the color of the surrounding fog should change!"

Feng Ling thought about it and nodded: "What you said makes sense. I also think there will be danger ahead."

Li Qing felt relieved.

Feng Ling said again: "Zheng Zheng and I will go to the front to check the situation. You and Xu Yiming stay here. The parade team just passed by. There shouldn't be any rat monsters coming here in the short term. You two should find a place to hide."

Xu Yiming was stunned. "Just the two of you? No, I also..."

"You stay." Feng Ling interrupted him with a calm expression, "Li Qing is very important, nothing can happen to him. He is the only one who can communicate with the maze administrator, and he is the only one who can provide us with the coordinates of each maze, so he absolutely cannot take any risk."

She paused, then continued, "Call me in twenty minutes. If I don't answer, you take the Taoist priest to find the crow and leave here."

Xu Yiming's eyes suddenly turned red.

Feng Ling frowned, "Uncle, I'm just preparing for the worst. Can you please have more confidence in me?"

Xu Yiming lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, feeling aggrieved, "Isn't this the atmosphere..."

Feng Ling looked at Li Qing again, "It's too early to say that the maze has collapsed. However, if even I can't break through this maze, then it must have collapsed, right?"

Li Qing nodded slowly.

Feng Ling smiled, turned around and led Ye Zheng away.

Xu Yiming stayed there in a daze, turned around and asked Li Qing: "What did she mean by that just now?"

Li Qing whispered: "The maze is a copy for the player. The difficulty of the copy should match the player's ability. If even Feng Ling can't break through this maze, the player can't break through it either. This means that the difficulty design of the copy exceeds the threshold, the genes are out of control, and the maze collapses..."

Xu Yiming laughed after hearing this. Although he was smiling, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He looked at the backs of Feng Ling and Ye Zheng and muttered softly, "Young people nowadays are really arrogant..."

…………

Feng Ling's pace became faster and faster, and he was getting closer and closer to the parade team.

She was eager to know the answer and wanted to know what that "mountain" was. Was Huangfu Miaomiao's disappearance related to the "mountain"?
The lanterns above our heads were hanging in strings one after another, and the sound of drums and music had unknowingly lost its original rhythm and became chaotic.

The rat monsters in the team gradually stopped playing music and just pushed and shoved forward madly.

Thanks to their laziness, the spiritual power of the parade team has been greatly weakened.

Feng Ling and Ye Zheng finally approached the finish line and saw the incredibly huge mountain -

It was clearer and more vivid than in the video. Countless hands and feet were struggling and waving in the flesh, the toothless mouth opened and closed like a black hole, and eyeballs with growths were rolling in the flesh.

The parade team instantly lost order after approaching the "mountain". Every rat monster involuntarily walked towards the mountain, and kept walking until they were stuck in the flesh.
