The third floor underground.
“This is the third layer of the maze, right?”
Zilchak was surprised.
Lu Li nodded: “That's right. This is the third layer of the maze. There is a kind of living painting on this layer that can swallow people. It can be studied.”
“A painting that swallows people?” Eriri was shocked, “Isn't that very dangerous?”
Speaking of this, she remembered the experience of being swallowed by the Otherworld and suddenly felt a little scared.
Farin comforted her: “It's okay, as long as you don't look at the painting, you'll be fine. Brother, what are you doing?”
Leo showed a curious look: “I want to go in and see. Are the things inside edible?”
“Don't take risks.” Marusir was speechless, “This is too dangerous.”
“It's okay.”
Lu Li waved his hand, “You get a rope and tie him up. If there is any danger, just pull him out.”
Leo’s eyes lit up: “Good idea!”
Zilchak felt a headache after hearing this.
But Leo's curiosity was not so easily dispelled, so he had to start looking for a rope to help Leo achieve his goal.
Finally, Leo returned disappointed.
The things in the painting were indeed edible and tasted good, but after leaving the living painting, the original feeling of fullness disappeared.
In other words, no matter how much you eat in the painting, you can't fill your stomach.
Farin ignored her brother, who looked disappointed, and went to Lu Li’s side and asked, “God, have you found anything?”
“Yes.” Lu Li nodded gently, “I originally thought that the principle of the living painting was the Dao of Space, but I didn't expect that it used the Dao of Reality and Illusion.”
The adventurers in this world seem not to be powerful.
However, demons are very powerful. They are creatures that manipulate rules.
Rules are not weak.
The concept of reality and illusion, once reaching the extreme, even powerful gods can be sent into nothingness and fall forever.
Of course, for now, this is just a thought.
But there is one thing that can be tried.
The Dao of Space can make a space ring.
Then—can't the Dao of Reality and Illusion make similar props?
Put real things into the painting, without size or weight, the number of things you can carry will increase.
Thinking of this, Lu Li opened the teleportation gate and returned to the laboratory.
He took out a roll of silk, integrated it with the dragon scales, to ensure that it wouldn't break easily, used magic to dry it, and then made a long scroll.
The previous steps are very simple, the most critical is actually the reality and illusion magic.
Lu Li looked serious. Based on his understanding, he added reality and illusion magic to the scroll, and instantly, the scroll began to twist and wanted to swallow him.
“This won't do.” Lu Li frowned.
He wanted to make a space storage prop. If this thing sucked people in randomly, it would be too dangerous.
After thinking for a moment, he modified the reality and illusion magic again.
After trying many times, he finally stabilized the scroll. He casually threw a vial of potion into it, and suddenly, a small potion appeared in a corner of the scroll.
He used magic to activate it and easily took it out.
“It can be activated with magic, you can store anything you want in it, and you can take it out at will. This prop is pretty good.”
Lu Li was very satisfied. He looked at his god panel and found that he had gained another ability—the power of reality and illusion, which made him even happier.
With more abilities, he could naturally choose his favorite ability to become a god.
He returned to the maze again. Everyone was still there.
Farin asked, “God, have you figured it out?”
Lu Li took out the scroll and threw an object into it in front of everyone, and then took it out again.
“It's successful. From now on, we have our own space equipment.”
Although the principle is not space, the effect is similar, so it is still called space props.
Baihekawa Hana’s eyes lit up, “Can this painting preserve freshness? This way, we can slaughter a lot of dragons and put them inside.”
Yotsuya Miko objected, “Don't do that. If we kill all the dragons, what will we eat in the future?”
Morin nodded, “Maintaining ecological balance is indeed very important.”
As they spoke, they walked towards the fourth floor.
Along the way, Shiina Mahoro, Kasuga-no-yu Shiori, Eriri, and Kirisaki Chitoge, who saw the maze for the first time, were extremely curious.
This kind of maze was simply amazing.
Even in the technologically advanced real world, it would be almost impossible to build such a maze, even if the major countries joined forces.
They encountered various monsters along the way. Lu Li kindly let Kasuga-no-yu Shiori and the other four fight, training their abilities.
Before long, Lu Li’s scroll already contained many edible monsters.
They acted like bandits, not wasting a single edible monster.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the fifth layer of the maze.
“Last time we fought the dragon on this layer!” Kato Megumi sighed.
Baihekawa Hana felt a little regretful, “It's a pity that we didn't have storage props at the time. Otherwise, we could have taken away a whole red dragon.”
“It's not too late now.” Yotsuya Miko looked around, carefully searching for the tracks of the two-legged flying dragons.
Farin and Marusir also used detection magic to find the target.
After searching for a long time, they still didn’t find the two-legged flying dragons.
The maze was too big.
It wasn’t easy to search for dragons.
“Since we are here, let's eat first.” Morin suggested, “We need to eat before we slaughter the dragons. Otherwise, even if we find them, we'll easily have accidents if we're hungry.”
So, they stopped to rest and made a feast with monsters. After finishing the meal, they continued to search.
Another hour passed.
Suddenly, Zilchak’s ears twitched, and his eyes narrowed: “I heard the sound of wings flapping. It should be two-legged flying dragons. Everyone, be careful and hide first. Let's count the number of dragons. If there are not many, then we can take action.”
As a dwarf, Zilchak’s hearing was far superior to ordinary people. Even if it was very far away, he could still hear the sound.
After hearing this, everyone immediately dispersed and hid in a concealed place.
After a while, several flying dragons appeared in the sky.
“Five!” Farin counted and waved her hand. Next, Kato Megumi emerged from her hiding place, drew her bow and arrow, and the arrow shot into the air.
“Roar!”
A wail rang out, and a two-legged flying dragon fell from the sky.
The other flying dragons saw that there was only one Kato Megumi, and instead of running away, they swooped down.
At this time, Kato Megumi was unhurried and put the long arrow on the bowstring again.
This time, she did not attack but waited.
Dragons were intelligent monsters. If she shot down another flying dragon, the others would probably escape immediately.
“Roar!”
The flying dragon swooped down to within a hundred meters of the ground, flames emerging from its mouth.
“Now!”
Farin had long been prepared, raised her magic wand, and the magic light appeared.
