As soon as he stood up, Angor felt something different about his body.
His limbs were full of strength. His joints could move freely. His head felt refreshed. Angor also noticed that his night vision improved a lot. Even without the flashlight, he could still see his surroundings in the dark.
All these changes happened after he passed out.
Angor was confused. Did "Fortune after surviving a great disaster" mean that he had gone through that kind of unbearable pain? Even though the pain had passed, Angor still shuddered at the thought of it. If "fortune after" only strengthened his body, he would rather stay weak than go through that kind of extreme pain again.
What he didn't know was that his body was not just a little stronger. There was something else going on inside him. He had not become a real wizard yet, so he had no idea how much he gained from this experience.
Before leaving, Angor glanced at the wall again. He was afraid of the wall that brought him so much pain, but he was still curious about it. Besides, he did not dare to take the risk again.
He was about a hundred meters away from the wall. He could clearly see light flashing on the wall. It was just that he could not see it clearly. Whenever Angor tried to take a closer look, he would feel dizzy.
He whispered to the mouth flower floating in the air, "Do you know what that wall is?"
"It's dangerous. Don't go," said the voice with a hint of fear.
Angor was even more curious now that even a native said it was dangerous. However, he knew better than to go recklessly.
Angor looked at the wall in disappointment. Maybe he would have a chance to decipher it when he became a wizard? Angor thought to himself.
He did not know how much time had passed. He was still worried that he might miss his professor on his way back.
Suddenly, he looked at the hologram tablet on his wrist and shivered. How could he forget about this? The tablet showed the time!
He quickly turned on the hologram and checked the time at the bottom left corner of the screen.
August 21st, 16: 33. The system's time was compiled using Earth's time system, which did not affect Angor's view.
He remembered it was the third day of the Month of Harvest when he came here, which meant it was August 18th in Earth's time system. In other words, he had been unconscious for three days?
He had already wasted three days. He could not afford to waste any more time. He had to find the nearest coordinate as soon as possible!
He checked the time and was about to turn off the tablet when he glanced at the camera system on his desk and suddenly had an idea.
He remembered that there was a telephoto option in the video recording. As for that strange wall of light, although he couldn't personally go there, he could use a telephoto to see the specific situation!
He was a man of action. Without wasting time, he turned on the camera system and started shooting.
When he was about a hundred meters away from the wall, he selected the telephoto option and began taking pictures of the wall. While recording, Angor also observed the footage.
The filming tools of science and technology were extremely powerful. Even the images taken from a hundred meters away could be seen as if they were observed up close.
The wall looked ordinary in the shot, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there were faint dents on the wall, and there seemed to be streams of light moving slowly around the dents.
The wall was filled with dents. When he looked closer, he noticed that the dents formed a large, regular pattern.
"Is this a rune?" Angor wondered.
He sketched out the trajectory of the pattern in his mind, but as soon as he sketched out a corner of the pattern, he felt a terrifying aura of unknown origin surrounding him. The next second, intense pain came along with it.
Angor quickly stopped tracing the pattern in his mind. Only then did the pain slowly dissipate.
"Is this really a rune? Shouldn't a rune show up only when it has a beginning and an end? I was just drawing it randomly in my mind. I don't even know where it started, and this happened! " Angor was frightened by the terrifying aura. He thought that the pattern might have something important to it.
However, he did not dare to think about the details of the pattern. He was afraid that the pain would come again in the next second.
The hologram tablet recorded very quickly. Angor quickly checked it again, but he did not dare to look at it carefully. After making sure that he did not miss anything, he turned around and left.
That wall was too scary. Angor decided to stay away from it.
He did not turn off the recording function on his way back. The tablet still had plenty of battery left, and he hoped to record everything he saw.
It was a quick journey back. Angor knew that there were only mouth flowers along the way, so he decided to fly instead of running.
"Aren't you going back?" Angor was a little confused when he saw the mouth flower still following him.
The mouth flower waved its petals and spoke in a joyful and worshipful tone, "I like you, my king —"
Angor did not really care. He was adventuring alone in a dark place, and having someone to talk to, even if it was nonsense, gave him some courage.
"Is this an underground maze?" Angor asked.
"Yes, it is." It did not show any emotion.
The mouth flower's answer confirmed Angor's suspicion that he was in a sewer maze. Angor still lamented his terrible luck, but at least he knew where he was.
"Do you know how to get to the center of the maze?"
"There's a mouth in the center." The mouth flower opened its big mouth and showed its proud emotion.
You didn't ask about the center! Angor complained in his mind.
He decided to use a different approach. "How do I get out of here?"
When talking to the mouth flower, Angor had to get rid of all the modifiers and only express simple meaning.
"Get out." The mouth flower's expression was simple. It even shook its root to let Angor know what it was thinking.
"…" Angor almost forgot that it was a plant. Well, he only needed to break out of the ground.
Angor asked the mouth flower many questions in the next few minutes, but he did not get the right answer 99% of the time. Still, Angor managed to figure out a lot of things from the mouth flower's nonsense.
For example, this Jawflower that could fly was indeed the boss of the Jawflower Corridor.
Another example was that the mouth flower's mission was to protect the wall.
…
After flying for another half an hour, the darkness around him suddenly disappeared. Angor found himself back at the place where the head monsters were.
However, it seemed that the two heads were not here.
Angor noticed that there was light here because there was something like an electric lamp above his head. It was as bright as daylight.
Now that there was a source of light, Angor turned off his flashlight.
"Are you going back?" Angor asked the mouth flower again. They were already out of the mouth flower's territory.
The mouth flower's answer was surprisingly normal this time. "I'm going with the king —"
Angor felt a little happy. The mouth flower did not look strong, but it should be stronger than him. If he and the flower worked together, they might be able to go further.
However, before Angor could feel happy, the mouth flower's voice was filled with disappointment.
"But I'm going to protect the wall."
Angor grinned. The mouth flower had learned how to keep people in suspense in just a few hours.
The mouth flower meant that it could not go with him. It had to go back and protect the wall. Angor didn't say anything about it. The mouth flower was his savior, and there were many monsters in the underground maze. Angor believed that the mouth flower was stronger than him, but he didn't think it could defeat a monster with a small body like that.
Angor thought it would be better for the mouth flower to stay here so that his savior would not get hurt.
With that in mind, Angor waved goodbye at the mouth flower and flew away alone.
The mouth flower watched Angor leave. Only when Angor's figure was completely out of sight did it slowly return to its territory with a disappointed look on its face. As the mouth flower flew, its body glowed with a green light. Countless giant vines crawled out from the ground and sealed off the tunnel for dozens of meters.
The thick vines easily shattered the stone walls of the labyrinth. If Angor was here, he would not think that the mouth flower was weak and weak. After all, even Sunders could not break through the walls on both sides of the maze.
After the mouth flower left, the head monster, which Angor thought couldn't defeat the mouth flower, let out a long sigh and quietly jumped out of its hiding place. When it saw the corridor blocked by vines, its eyes were filled with dread.
