Chapter 272: Another Champion?

[Labyrinth]

When Long Haoran and the foodie co. woke up, they found themselves being spit out of the entrance of the labyrinth through a crack in the space and received a very hot welcome the golem guards stationed nearby.

Little Lotus and Little Ginseng had a mental breakdown seeing unfamiliar environment, the tall dark walls covered of moss and vines. Moreover, the fact that they couldn’t sense their Master’s presence only made them cried harder.

"Kya!" (I want to go home. I want Mama. I want Mama!)

"Ji ji ji." (I don’t like this place. I want to go back.)

Beads of tears dribbled down the corner of their cartoonish eyes. Anyone would have seen these fellows’ current state, would have felt instant heartache and gave them all the candies.

"Stop crying." Little Mantou, the most senior of the foodie co. was used to running away from home and had encountered similar situations and creepy settings because of his adventurous spirit, so he was less affected than them. He could still manage to calm his mind.

Creases emerged on Long Haoran’s forehead as his line of sight landed on Xiao Hua’s summons. With the light provided by the red sun on the sky, he saw the some scratches and dirt on them.

He didn’t know how to coax children at all and he only did what he always does to Zurui when the latter was sad.

He took out a piece of white quality clothe equipment that he hadn’t dispose of, soaked it with water before wiping the dirt on them. While at it, he spoke to them softly as he could, "If you don’t cry, I’ll make some snacks for you."

Snacks?

There’s nothing a good warm food can’t bribe especially when the one who offers can cook delicious food. Little Ginseng and Little Lotus were instantly cajoled into quieting down.

The two looked at Long Haoran and a sense of dependence arouse within them.

Relieved at the success of the attempt, a plate of steaming delicate dumplings and rice balls appeared on Long Haoran’s hand.

Suddenly red lines appeared on the floor and on the walls brightening the surroundings and what follows it was the louds sounds of something heavily tapping on the floor.

Long Haoran sensed the danger coming. The two’s crying might have attracted unwanted attention. He stored the plate back, picked up the two before saying to the fox, "Let’s find the exit first."

Little Mantou was also thinking the same thing and followed after Long Haoran.

However, you can expect nothing less from the protagonist’s aura. The monsters didn’t appear behind them but rather above and intercepted midway by blocking the 2-meter path.

The walls were crushed due to their sizes.

[Magma Golems (Weakened State) Level 55 (HP: 35, 000/ 35, 000)]

Despite the system calling it weak, its stats except for the INT were above him, and ironically, he couldn’t began to comprehend how he has a chance against that insane 543 DEF and to make it worse it was a fire-attribute monster, his Abysmal Fire might have little to no effect.

Another Magma Golem appeared behind and with the same stats.

The back and front was and through the gap on the line of the wall, magma started trickling. It produced sizzling noises similar to the ones the barbecue would made after its glaze dropped on the burning charcoal and pooled into small puddle which was getting bigger.

If they failed to escape here, they would end up roasted to crisp.

Survival Instinct kicked in and Long Haoran summoned the frying pan and used intermediate pounding technique to smash the wall on his right.

However the wall was sturdier than he expected. It only left some cracks but didn’t break apart.

The golems rushed and lifted their fists to smash at them.

Long Haoran looked at the back and behind. The pan disappeared and he picked up the two little fellows and slid in between the front golem’s legs. Little Mantou jumped onto the golem’s shoulder in time and escaped being smashed into a bloody pulp.

The four then run fast through the winding paths of the labyrinth, while avoiding the magma.

The golems also chased after realizing the intruders escaped.

For a total of five minutes, it was the game of cat and mouse. The numbers cats in the shape of golems continue to increase. Long Haoran and the three had to be constantly on guard.

Long Haoran tried to use fire. To his surprise, it did caused some damage but the body of the golems might be mixed with gold-grade and above, the range of the damage was only small.

Long Haoran had resorted to different option, using his pan and the skills he bought from the achievement point shop together with the other three’s cooperation, they were able to keep until the time the numbers of golems was too much to bear and most of the pathways were covered in magma.

His flight skill was still on CD. Long Haoran turned to the Little Lotus.

Little Lotus understood the eye signal he received, his formed changed, shedding its cutie appearance. Two draconic wings appeared on his back and a roar escaped his mouth.

However the Little Lotus was struck by some sort of restriction spell midway. It failed to transform.

They saw magic circles appeared above that attacked Little Lotus.

Long Haoran was left with no other choice, he took out the gold grade fabrics and covered their bodies, his legs and tide it under his shoes. Miraculously, the magma couldn’t burn the fabric and they crossed the pools safely, heading for the center.

When they were near at the center, a well appeared out of nowhere.

Long Haoran and the three increased their pace and when they were just about two meters from the well.

Suddenly something emerged from the well, four tentacles made of water. Long Haoran stopped immediately and avoided it but Little Ginseng on his right shoulder was caught. Long Haoran used his abysmal fire to cut it off.

Little Ginseng was then freed.

"Kya!"

Little Lotus pew pew bombs failed him and he was captured by the strange well monster.

Little Mantou leapt and swung his blade, the tentacle was severed but another dozen appeared. He couldn’t cut them all in time while avoiding the golems’ attacks and was captured too.

Little Ginseng and Little Mantou were dragged to the bottom.

A dozen of large rocks covered in molten lava were thrown at Long Haoran, the latter rolled to avoid them and picked the ginseng before leaping inside well.

The well achieving its purpose disappeared. The golems searched for the traces of Long Haoran and the other three. Upon failing, they slammed their fists on the ground in frustration.

At the bottom, Long Haoran opened his eyes and saw a creature covered in black robe standing in front of him. Alarmed, he opened his palm and the black flaming orb made the creature stepped back.

The creature raised its palm above its head revealing a pair of blue glittering skin and muttered, "Champion need not to be afraid. I mean no harm." Then the creature stepped to the side, exposing the three unconscious Little Ginseng, Little Lotus and Little Mantou behind it. "I healed their burns and they’re just resting."
