Spire Game: My cards are all forbidden divine skills

Pushing open the wooden door, a gust of cold wind rushed in.

The first thing that catches the eye is the pitch-black sky, seemingly covered with dark clouds. Thunder rumbles, and purple lightning flashes like dragons streak across the sky.

Beneath the sky lies a vast labyrinth, composed of black walls and thorns, stretching as far as the eye can see.

He stood on a precipice, with a rope ladder hanging down from the edge of the precipice to the entrance of the maze.

Faint sobs could be heard from inside the maze, and occasionally a huge figure could be seen moving within it.

monster!

After a long while, Chen Mo withdrew his gaze.

He noticed a stone tablet nearby, clearly inscribed with "Level 1, Death Maze!"

Chen Mo examined the stone tablet carefully for a while, confirming that the words on it weren't playing any word puzzles or similar games with him. It seemed that the Divine Soul Tower wasn't exactly a place that liked to play tricks on people.

Looking at the maze again, Chen Mo squinted. He could clearly see three paths that led to the end of his line of sight.

Chen Mo could mark the dead ends in his mind, but he couldn't tell which of the three paths was the correct one because he couldn't see the whole maze.

Generally speaking, there is a way to get out of a maze: stick to one wall and keep moving forward. As long as there is an exit, you will definitely get there, it just takes a little more time.

However, if there are monsters inside the maze, that's a different story. Doing so will most likely lead you to encounter even more monsters.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo took out his notebook again.

After flipping through two pages, sure enough, the next level was a walkthrough for a maze.

First Floor Guide:

Map: There are three roads, left, center, and right, all of which lead to the exit.

On the left, monsters are scarce, but you will encounter elite monsters like the Rock Giant, which is heavily armored and has high health.

In the middle, there is a moderate number of monsters, and you will encounter the elite monster Corruption Maniac, which gains increased attack power when enraged.

On the right, there are many monsters, but no elite monsters.

As Chen Mo looked at the guide, he thought to himself that the instructions for the Divine Soul Tower were quite detailed.

Just then, he suddenly noticed smaller characters written in a different font in the lower right corner.

(Don't choose the left or the middle, choose the right, choose the right!)

Is this considered guidance?

Chen Mo frowned, beginning to ponder the credibility of this statement.

In his judgment, there was an 80% chance it was true, because if the Soul Tower wanted to deceive him, there would be no need to go to such lengths.

There's a 20% chance that the guy who wrote this just wanted to drag others down with him.

It's worth a try!

Chen Mo slowly climbed down the rope ladder. The entrance to the maze in front of him appeared dark and deep, with only lightning illuminating the passage when thunder struck.

The maze path wasn't too narrow, about four meters wide, so there was no problem moving around or dodging, but it probably wouldn't be suitable for hiding.

The ground was dirt with a few pebbles. The walls were all over twenty meters high, straight, and covered with thorns.

Let alone climbing, it's questionable whether the thorns are poisonous.

Chen Mo took out the attack and defense cards almost immediately, and they were easy to use.

With just a thought, an iron shield and an iron sword appeared in his hands.

The shield was round, without any patterns, of suitable weight, and looked quite sturdy.

The sword was a black iron sword, double-edged with a blood groove in the middle, and about three feet long.

Having these two items gave Chen Mo some sense of security. Holding the shield, Chen Mo cautiously moved forward, stopping as often as possible to let the lightning illuminate his path.

Before long, Chen Mo encountered the first monster in the maze.

It is about half a person tall, covered in mushrooms, and its body resembles a huge snail.

It was moving back and forth, circling around. It didn't seem very intelligent and had a limited range of movement, yet it was still firmly blocking Chen Mo's path.

Chen Mo did not blindly rush forward to attack, nor did he try to avoid it by going around it.

After observing the mushroom beast carefully for a while, Chen Mo noticed that the creature seemed tireless and never stopped.

Taking two steps back, Chen Mo cautiously took out his notebook again to see if there was any strategy guide for the monsters on the first floor.

After flipping through a few pages, I was surprised to find that it actually existed.

First Floor Monster Compendium:

Fungal snail: Health 24.

Skill 1: Bite, deals 6 damage.

Skill 2: Venomous Spray, deals 8 damage and inflicts 3 poison.

Skill 3: Upon death, the fungus explodes, dealing 20 damage and inflicting 5 poison.

(Note: The poisoning will last for ten hours, causing a fixed amount of damage every hour.)

Chen Mo's pupils contracted; this snail was even more formidable than he had imagined.

Especially the final fungal explosion, which deals 20 damage, plus the continuous poisoning, can cause a total of 70 damage.

In other words, if you take this attack and then take another one, you are very likely to die from poisoning.

Don't take damage from skills, especially the last one. It's best to avoid poison spit as well.

Continuous poisoning (level 3) will cause a full 30 points of damage even after ten hours.

He has no antidote or anything like that on him right now, and he has no idea what will happen when his health drops.

If possible, he tries to avoid losing health as much as possible. The daily health regeneration is too low, only one point per hour, which is really insufficient.

Gripping the iron sword tightly in his hand, Chen Mo's expression became extremely serious. He had to stay on his guard and could not afford to make the slightest mistake.

He raised his shield and slowly stepped forward.

Just as the snail's rear end was facing him, Chen Mo thrust his sword forward.

puff!

The sword pierced soft flesh; Chen Mo felt as if he had stabbed a large lump of jelly.

The fungal snail cried out in pain, suddenly spun around and flung away Chen Mo's sword, causing Chen Mo to shift his steps to the left.

Immediately following, the fungal snail opened its mouth full of sharp teeth from under the mushroom and pounced towards Chen Mo.

The densely packed teeth are quite unsettling to look at.

It's a skill called "Tear and Bite"!

Chen Mo immediately raised his shield and blocked it with a clang.

My body trembled slightly, and my arm ached.

Chen Mo could clearly feel himself losing blood. Was this what it felt like to lose a single drop of blood?

The shield can only block five points of damage, but the opponent's bite can block six points.

Just block once; blocking too much will only cause you to lose more health.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Mo pushed his opponent away with his shield, then exerted force from his waist, taking a heavy step forward and slashing the fungal snail's head with his sword.

It still felt like it was cutting into soft flesh, but it couldn't cut off the head of the fungal snail.

With the opponent having 24 health points, it seems I'll have to launch a solid four-hit attack.

Just as Chen Mo was about to strike again, he saw the abdomen of the fungal snail swell up.

Almost instantly, Chen Mo knew that the other party was about to spit venom.

Without any hesitation, Chen Mo immediately lunged forward to dodge, the venom grazing his clothes behind him.

After landing and rolling to regain his footing, Chen Mo thrust forward again, stabbing his thorn into the abdomen of the fungal snail.

The fungal snail cried out in pain, but this time it was unable to shake off Chen Mo's sword.

Chen Mo drew his sword and delivered a final, decapitating blow, bringing it down with a vengeance, aiming precisely at the spot where he had just struck.

Swish!

The sword made a whistling sound as it cleaved through the air, and the head of the fungal snail was severed and fell to the ground.

Chen Mo's health was depleted, but he didn't even look at it before turning around and running away.

Sure enough, the next moment, the fungal snail's corpse first swelled up and then exploded violently, scattering yellow dust all around.
