Chapter 139 The Maze is Still Changing

“Isn’t it the exit of the maze?” Ellie looked at Jiang Che in confusion, “The portal is clearly there, we all saw it.”

“Yes, we all saw the portal.” Jiang Che nodded, “But don’t you find it strange? We have been in front of the senior students, but they never found us. And if they really found the exit of the maze, why did they let us see it so easily? This doesn’t make sense.”

After listening to Jiang Che’s analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.

“So what should we do now?” Li Lun asked.

“We need to re-examine this maze.” Jiang Che said in a deep voice, “This maze seems to be much more complicated than we imagined. It is not just a physical maze, but more likely a complex maze that combines illusions, mechanisms, and psychological tactics. We cannot be fooled by superficial phenomena, and need to dig deeper into its essence.”

So they began to re-examine the maze. They found that although the walls and passages in the maze were constantly changing, there were some constant laws and patterns hidden in them. These laws and patterns were closely related to the various traps and puzzles they encountered in the maze.

Through careful observation and analysis, they gradually mastered these rules and patterns and began to solve the puzzles in the maze in a targeted manner. With their outstanding wisdom and teamwork ability, they successfully solved one puzzle after another and gradually approached the core area of ​​the maze.

However, just when they were about to find the exit of the maze, an invisible barrier blocked their way. This barrier seemed like an insurmountable chasm that prevented them from moving forward.

“What’s going on?” Ellie asked in surprise, “Why can’t we pass through this barrier?”

Jiang Che took a deep breath: “This barrier may be the last test of the maze. We need to find a way to pass it before we can truly get out of the maze.”

They began to study the barrier carefully, trying to find a way to break through it.

After some effort, they finally found a subtle clue: some mysterious runes were flashing on the barrier, and these runes seemed to have some connection with the constant symbols they encountered in the maze.

They tried to follow the instructions of the runes, and saw the barrier gradually become transparent, and finally disappeared completely. They successfully passed through the barrier and came to a completely new space.

This space is completely different from the maze they were in before. It is full of bright light and warm breath. Surrounded by lush green trees and bright flowers, it seems like a beautiful fairyland.

“Are we…are we out?” Ellie asked in disbelief.

“Still nothing.” Jiang Che shook his head and said, “This is still part of the maze. Look up at the grass in front of you. I remember Han Yu wrote in a poem that the grass looks green from a distance but is not there when you get close. Is that right?”

“The grass looks green from a distance but not green when you get close?” Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned. Jiang Che usually doesn’t study very seriously, so how come he is so knowledgeable now?
Hearing this, everyone looked up. As Jiang Che said, the grass in the distance looked green, but when they got closer, they found that the color of the grass became lighter and lighter, and there was no grass at all in some places.

“What’s going on here?” Tang Ke asked in confusion, “What on earth is this maze trying to do?”

“If I’m not mistaken, this maze is actually a huge illusion.” Jiang Che said slowly, “Everything we experienced before, including the changing walls, passages and traps, are illusions created by illusions. The purpose of this illusion is to confuse our minds and prevent us from finding the real exit.” “What should we do now?” Li Lun asked anxiously, “This illusion seems to be everywhere, how can we break it?”

Jiang Che pondered for a moment and said, “Although the illusion array is powerful, it also has its flaws. We need to find the core of this illusion array, which is the center of the array that controls the entire illusion array. Only by destroying the center of the array can we break this illusion array and find the real exit.”

“Where will the center of the formation be?” Ellie asked curiously.

“I’m not sure about that.” Jiang Che shook his head. “But we can try to look for it. Since this maze combines illusions and mechanisms, the core of the formation is likely hidden in these mechanisms. We need to search this space carefully to see if we can find any clues.”

So, everyone began to search carefully in this beautiful space. They carefully observed the surrounding environment and buildings, trying to find the trace of the center of the formation.

After a careful search, they finally found a suspicious place. In the center of the space, there was a small pavilion with a strange device inside. This device was composed of many complex gears and levers, and looked like a sophisticated mechanical device.

“This device is most likely the core of the magic array.” Jiang Che guessed, “We need to study this device carefully to see if we can find a way to destroy it.”

They began to study this strange device carefully, trying to find its weakness. After some effort, they finally found a key part: there was a shining crystal ball at the core of the device, which seemed to be the energy source of the whole device.

“We need to destroy this crystal ball before we can destroy the entire illusion array.” Jiang Che said affirmatively, “Everyone be careful, this device may have other mechanisms.”

They approached the crystal ball cautiously, trying to destroy it. However, just as they were about to touch the crystal ball, the entire device suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Everyone covered their eyes, and when they opened them again, they found themselves back to their original starting point.

“What’s going on?” Tang Ke asked in astonishment, “We have clearly found the center of the formation, why are we back here?”

Jiang Che took a deep breath and said, “This maze is much more complicated than we thought. It seems that we need to re-examine this maze to find the real solution. Don’t be discouraged, let’s look for it carefully!”

“Hey, isn’t this the rookie Jiang Che?”

As soon as Jiang Che finished speaking, a mocking voice was heard.

When he looked up, he saw that it was Gao De who came with his group of senior students. As soon as they arrived, they directly provoked Gao De with words.
