From entering this seemingly simple maze that didn't even have a trace of a magic maze, Lin Yun knew that it definitely contained a terrifying danger, and it was a very treacherous trap. Now, it looked like it was indeed the case.
There were very few ruins left behind by Bill George, but even if they were of little value, as the outermost layer of defense, they were still ordinary traps that could kill a lot of people.
But it was also because of this that at the peak of Noscent, many powerful mages thought of ways to dig up all of Bill George's ruins. Among these mages, most of them had been ambushed by Bill George's ruins and were lucky enough to survive.
These Firebolts were all genuine 6th Tier Spells, and they could be said to be the strongest single-target 6th Tier Spells. Solidifying these spells on the walls, and even solidifying a few dozen in one place, making the only dangerous place in the passage a few meters away. This kind of extreme method was in line with Bill George's style.
Mage Eyes wouldn't cause a reaction from the traps, and even elemental lifeforms like the Rock Puppets wouldn't react. But if a lifeform with flesh and blood entered the center of the trap, it would immediately activate. In a situation where no one was on guard, anyone who fell into such a treacherous trap wouldn't be able to live up to Bill George's expectations.
Moreover, on the way, the surrounding walls hadn't changed at all. Even if someone had carefully observed those solidified runes, they couldn't have carefully inspected them one by one.
After choosing the entrance eight times in a row, even the most cautious person wouldn't be so meticulous. Thus, the probability of a hidden trap being discovered in advance was almost negligible.
In such a narrow passage, there hadn't been any danger on the way, but suddenly, a few dozen Firebolts attacked at close range. The only spells that could resist were the Runic Shield and the Mana Shield. Only these two spells could be released in time, but apart from 9th Rank Archmages, anyone below the 8th Rank without a special defensive Magic Tool would definitely die!
Even Xiuban might not be able to resist this trap. Those Firebolts contained special power, and their burst power was close to that of a 7th Tier Spell. Moreover, they also carried a wisp of cutting power. Lin Yun would be flustered if he fell in.
The sudden change made everyone except Lin Yun's scalp go numb.
Xiuban's face was a bit green. He touched his body with an alarmed expression, clearly feeling that his body might not be able to avoid being cut to pieces.
Wagner's complexion immediately turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his face.
Damn it, how could it be like this? There wasn't any danger along the way, so how could there suddenly be a trap here?
Was the original owner of this place a psychopath? It was such a long road with no obstacles at all, but there was such a terrifying trap here. The strengthened Fire Rays had solidified dozens of them in a range of a few meters. Was this something a human could do?
The master of this place was definitely an extremely powerful Heaven Rank powerhouse, and a Heaven Rank powerhouse with great attainments in spell enchantments.
'Fortunately, Mafa Merlin was cautious. Otherwise, they might not necessarily die, but I would definitely die. My defensive Magic Tool has already been damaged. Falling into this trap, being cut to pieces would be the best outcome. No, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to leave my ashes behind. I'm dead …'
The others didn't have good expressions, but Lin Yun's expression was normal, and he even sighed in relief.
As long as the trap was discovered, the rest would be a lot easier. Those enchanted spells had been discovered, and cracking them was very easy for Lin Yun.
He controlled a remote-controlled crystal pen and rapidly wrote on the wall. He used the wall's original enchanted runes and rapidly added some things. Without affecting the enchanted runes, he forcibly turned those solidified Fire Rays into something else.
After a short moment, Lin Yun put away the crystal pen and those Fire Rays slowly extinguished. After extinguishing, the runes on the wall rapidly changed into another kind of rune.
Explosion Rune!
In an instant, several dozen Explosion Runes shone at the same time. If these Explosion Runes were successfully activated, their power would definitely be comparable to an 8th Tier Spell in this narrow underground passage!
Even if Lin Yun's group didn't die, they would still lose a layer of skin. As for Wagner, he would definitely die.
Wagner looked at those shining Explosion Runes in alarm and unhesitantly cast a Runic Shield, a Mana Shield, and an Elemental Shield. He then used Haste to turn around and run.
But after running a few steps, he discovered that Lin Yun's group hadn't moved.
'Damnit, are they courting death? A few dozen Explosion Runes exploding would definitely cause this place to collapse. It would be hard for anyone under the Heaven Rank to survive.
'Why aren't they running?'
Wagner's thoughts raced, and his movements were a bit slower. But at this time, he discovered that some runes surrounding the Explosion Runes also shone, and an array pattern shone on the wall.
In an instant, those Explosion Runes were used as a source of mana and transformed into an array. The power within these Explosion Runes was rapidly drained.
The array revolved and transformed into a ray of light that attached itself to the surrounding walls and rapidly spread towards the front and back of the passage. Wherever it passed, the originally solidified runes were strengthened, and even those stone walls had a wisp of metallic luster.
"This is … Strengthening Array?"
Wagner awkwardly stood there and slowly scattered his mana. He wasn't unable to see through such a simple alchemy array.
This array was most often used in the construction of city walls. As long as there was enough power, the walls could keep being strengthened until they were as hard as diamond. The walls left behind by the 3rd Dynasty had been forcibly strengthened over countless years.
Xiuban turned his head and looked at Wagner with disdain, as if he was a high-level lifeform looking at a donkey.
"Idiot, the person who could use this kind of trap to trick the great Merlin hasn't even been born yet. Look at you, your intelligence is a lot lower than that of Lord Xiuban …"
Wagner awkwardly glared at Xiuban, but he didn't dare to say anything. This was indeed too embarrassing. No one was running, but he was the only one running. This was too shameful.
Lin Yun looked at the activation of the array, and an expression of 'as expected' flashed in his eyes.
That Bill George's shady nature was too extreme. The traps he set up were all interconnected, each more sinister than the last.
If not for the targeted array, he would have truly blown up the passage. He had known that these runes would definitely transform into self-destructive runes, and it looked like it was indeed the case.
As the power of the Burst Rune was slowly absorbed, the surrounding walls kept strengthening. After seeing that this place was stabilized, Lin Yun casually summoned a Rock Puppet and an Imp to scout ahead.
After confirming that there was no danger, Lin Yun led everyone to follow.
After passing through this passageway, they arrived at another one of the three passageways. However, this time, there was something different about it.
The first passage had the words "Life Path" written on it, the one on the right was "Death Path", and the one in the middle was "Exit Path".
"Sir Merlin, the original owner of this place was so treacherous. The Life Path is definitely a Death Path, and the Death Path might be the safest!"
Xiuban had an expression of 'I've already guessed it' as he made a conclusion.
"Merlin, which one should we choose? In my opinion, both the Life Path and the Death Path might be dangerous. No, the Life Path might be the safest. The original owner of this place definitely thought that no one would choose the Life Path! "
Anderfa's three faces looked at the three passages with conflicted expressions.
Wagner's face paled and he couldn't help but say.
"Mafa Merlin, let's leave this place. This place is too creepy. Let's leave through that exit."
At this time, Lin Yun had also completed his calculations. He had a strange smile on his face.
"Alright, we'll take this path."
The result of the calculation was that the exit path was the true path to enter the ruins, and the life and death paths on the side were all paths that led to an unknown destination.
Arriving here, Lin Yun was sure that this was the ruin left behind by Bill George. Only Bill George's ruin could have such insidious defensive means.
Even if someone came, those who could reach this place were true experts with firm wills. No one would choose to leave. Regardless of whether the path to leave was real or fake, they would rule it out immediately.
No matter how smart a person was, they would choose between the Life Path and the Death Path for the sake of the ruins. Everything that had happened before was enough to make people choose with an attitude of complete disbelief.
Therefore, powerhouses who were not afraid of death would choose the Life Path and the Death Path. Those who were afraid of death would not be powerhouses. Those who chose the middle path would truly find the ruins.
However, it was impossible for there to be no guards in the ruins. That was a true battle of strength. How could those who chose to escape be powerhouses?
Therefore, no matter who discovered this place, the probability of seeing the ruins alive after coming here could be considered as a very small event.
This was what the mages who studied Bill George said about Bill George's ruins.
It wasn't the most powerful, but it was definitely the most insidious and dangerous. The death rate of exploring Bill George's ruins was far higher than that of other powerhouses' ruins.
Lin Yun still sent out two Rock Puppets to scout ahead while he followed behind.
Anderfa and the others looked at each other. They didn't understand why Lin Yun chose the middle path, but they still followed.
After entering this passage, one could clearly feel that they were walking upwards. It was a straight uphill path.
