As a trainer, he has the rain trait

Not far away, there was a corner. As Zhilin turned around, he heard a series of "clicking" sounds. He realized something was wrong and quickly retreated.

The next second, two bronze axes crashed down on the spot where he had been standing. Zhilin spat and cursed, "I f*cking believed you! This is called a maze."

The stone statue's eyes glowed red, and it turned towards Zhilin and began to move towards him.

Zhilin then discovered that the stone statue was moving very slowly, only as fast as an ordinary person walking, and through telekinesis he could tell that it could only move along the track on the ground.

He decisively ordered the Crossbat to attack, "Crossbat, air blade."

The cross-bat condensed several white crescent-shaped blade lights. After all, the stone statue was just an object driven by mechanical technology. It had no thoughts and could not dodge. All the lights hit the statue, but what surprised Zhilin was that only a small piece of stone was broken off the statue.

Zhilin kept retreating, but suddenly found that a wall had appeared in the passage he had come from, turning this place into a dead end. The two stone statues approached him again, and now he had no way to retreat, only a stone wall behind him.

The two stone statues raised their bronze axes at the same time. Zhilin thought quickly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly jumped up and slid forward dangerously. Then he turned around and used the Poké Ball to retrieve the Forkbat before the bronze axe hit it.

The stone statues suddenly sped up, and one of them turned around and punched Zhilin, sending him flying.

Zhilin endured the pain and climbed up. He sensed something with his telekinesis and leaped to the side. Another stone statue smashed down the bronze axe, but Zhilin barely dodged it. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and secretly exclaimed that it was a close call.

Zhilin smiled bitterly and gasped for breath.

Is this maze meant for people to navigate? Every move is leading to death!

Without too much time to complain, Zhilin hurried forward. After running for about dozens of steps, the stone statue was restricted by the track and stopped.

Having had a chance to catch his breath, Zhilin didn't dare sit down to rest, for fear that there might be more traps.

After calming down, Zhilin looked around. On the left and right were the same stone walls, and the front was the same, but there was an extra token embedded in the wall. Zhilin took it off and saw the word "坎" engraved on it.

Kan is one of the Eight Trigrams, and its symbol is water.

Zhilin put the token in his arms. Although he didn't understand its purpose, he knew he should carry it with him.

After the token was removed, the stone wall on the right fell down, revealing a new passage.

As Zhilin stepped into this new area, a deep pit suddenly appeared on the ground.

The pit was filled with sharp stone spikes, dripping with an unknown slime that emitted a pungent odor. The pit appeared without warning, and if Zhilin hadn't used his telekinesis to detect it and stop in time, he would have nearly fallen in.

He carefully walked around the deep pit, but found that the ground around him had become unstable and traps could appear at any time.

Sure enough, when turning a corner, Zhilin encountered a trap that released poisonous gas.

A cloud of green poisonous gas slowly seeped out from the cracks in the wall and spread out. Wherever the gas reached, the stone slabs on the ground were corroded into small holes.

Zhilin quickly covered his mouth and nose, but still felt dizzy.

He knew he couldn't stay here, so he endured the discomfort and released the Crossbat again, letting it perform the "Wind" move to blow away the poison gas. Then he quickly left the dangerous area, breathing in deep gulps of fresh air.

After passing the poison gas area, Zhilin had a safe journey until he came to a dead end. There was also a token embedded in the wall with the word "Shock" engraved on it.

Zhen is one of the Eight Trigrams, and its symbol is thunder.

This time, the stone wall on the left falls, revealing a new area.

Zhilin couldn't help but mutter, "Don't tell me I have to collect all eight hexagrams before I can get out?"

This was indeed the case, and he had no choice but to do as he was told and move forward along the newly appeared passage.

This time, everything was normal along the way, there were no mechanisms or traps.

Being too normal is a kind of abnormality. Zhilin became more alert and did not dare to relax at all. He continued to move forward. The atmosphere in the passage became more and more depressing.

Suddenly, the passage ahead widened, the sound of flapping wings was heard, and a huge Archaeopteryx appeared in his sight.

Zhilin heaved a sigh of relief. A Pokémon battle? That was all right.

"Crossbat, take care of it quickly!"

Upon receiving the command, the Crossbat immediately flapped its wings at high speed, and several white crescent-shaped blades shot towards the Ancestral Bird like lightning. The Ancestral Bird was not to be outdone, and with a flap of its wings, it stirred up a gust of wind that blew away the air blades.

Then, the Crossbat emitted ultrasonic waves, and the invisible sound waves attacked the Archaeopteryx, which caused the Archaeopteryx to fall into confusion for a short time and shake continuously in the air.

"Now, Xbat, Shadow Ball!" Zhilin shouted, seizing the opportunity. Xbat quickly flew above the Archaeopteryx, crossed its wings, and released a pitch-black ball that hit the Archaeopteryx directly.

The Archaeopteryx let out a cry of pain, but its fighting power was still amazing. It quickly recovered from the chaos and pounced on the Crossbat.

"Crossbat, dodge, then use your mind to hammer!"

The Crossbat nimbly avoided the attack of the Archaeopteryx, and took the opportunity to hit the forehead with its telekinesis, crashing into the Archaeopteryx's back. The Archaeopteryx was hit and fell heavily to the ground with a crisp sound.

Zhilin walked towards the place where the ancestral bird fell, and indeed found a token with the word "Xun" engraved on it.

Xun is one of the Eight Trigrams, and its symbol is wind.

Zhilin put the token away, and just as he was about to move on, his eyes suddenly blurred and the surrounding scene began to spin like a whirlpool.

When he looked around again, he found that he had returned to the exit of the maze.

Zhilin breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that he would have to collect all the Bagua tokens to find the exit, but he didn't expect that only three would be enough.

"So fast?" Xu Qingyan said in surprise when he saw Zhilin walking out of the exit.

"Fast? I stayed in there for at least an hour, and it has changed a lot. The maze has turned into a killing array, and I almost couldn't get out." Zhilin complained to Xu Qingyan.

"Ah? But you've only been in there for more than ten minutes?"

Xu Qingyan's words made Zhilin very puzzled. It was impossible for him to have such a bad sense of time that he even miscalculated how long it would take. He must have stayed in the maze for more than half an hour.

The predecessor Yan Lin beside him explained: "Everything you experienced was an illusion."

"phantom?"

"Yes, this maze will drag the test-taker into an illusion during the trial. Even if you die in the illusion, you will only wake up from reality due to psychological trauma."

So that’s how it is, Zhilin thought to himself.

"You have obtained three badges. You can take one item from each of the corresponding hexagram palaces."
