This time, I won't be the devil.

As for how to deal with the Hayek Consortium, he would have to wait until he found the cemetery and confirmed the truth before making any plans.

After dealing with F4, Frey returned to the Sparkling Lake. After resting for a while, he continued on his journey with Noelle.

Since they no longer had to worry about the pursuers behind them, they moved faster.

Another day passed quickly, and after passing several landmarks, they arrived at the space indicated by the end point of the map.

"Is this really the place?" Noelle asked curiously after looking around.

The reason she was confused was that this area was no different from an ordinary maze passage.

The end point drawn on the map was a stone corridor made of bricks and stones, but in front of Frey and the others was only the rock wall commonly seen in a maze.

Frey activated his shadow perception and carefully examined the surrounding environment. He soon discovered that the rock walls in one area looked newer than those in other places.

He quickly recalled the behavior of the Rotten Giant hiding behind the wall when they were fighting against him.

"Maybe there's a hidden path here too."

If you think about it carefully, it is normal for hidden roads to exist in order to prevent them from being destroyed by adventurers or monsters that happen to pass by.

Since shadow perception cannot penetrate walls, Frey tapped lightly on the rock wall with his fingers, trying to find a hollow echo. His hand stroked the rough stone surface, feeling every uneven texture.

Noelle imitated Frey's movements and began to feel around on the rock wall.

After a while, Frey, whose shadow perception was fully activated, discovered that Noelle had touched something on the rock wall, and then subconsciously pressed it down.

As the rock wall gave way, a slight clicking sound was particularly clear in the silent maze.

The sound instantly brought back Frey's memories, and he immediately thought of the possibility of triggering a trap.

"Noelle, be careful!"

Frey yelled, but it was too late. The ground shook violently and Noelle's feet suddenly began to sink.

Frey rushed over to her and held Noelle in his arms. The ground beneath their feet completely collapsed, accompanied by bursts of collapsing sounds, and rubble and dust rose into the air.

At the critical moment, Frey fired the grappling hook launcher in his hand and hung on the rock wall with Noelle in his arms.

A moment later, as the collapse ended, a brick and stone passage appeared under Frey's feet.

The passage is not very deep, and even if you really fell down just now, you would not be injured, so this is not a landslide trap, it should be a mechanism designed simply to hide the tomb.

After a sigh of relief, Frey released the hook, and after landing safely, he admonished Noelle:

"Although nothing serious happened this time, remember, next time you are not allowed to touch anything without my permission."

At this time, Noelle was still held in Frey's arms in a princess-like posture. After being stunned for a while, she nodded repeatedly like a little hamster.

After putting Noelle down, Frey began to observe the underground passage.

The passage is about 5 meters high. Some fluorescent rocks are embedded in the brick and stone walls to provide lighting. The passage extends underground. Frey and his team are now at the starting point.

Rather than a cemetery, Frey felt that this place was more like an underground relic.

Considering that the maze itself is also an underground relic, this cemetery should be called the land under the ground, which is a nesting doll.

Using shadow perception, Frey discovered that there was no danger in the passage of the ruins, but considering that there might be a mechanism hidden in the wall, he still moved forward cautiously with Noelle.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the end of the passage, which was blocked by a stone wall and was a dead end.

And just in front of the stone wall, there was a rusty knight's armor lying on the ground.

Frey bent down and opened the knight's visor, and then saw a face that had dried and decayed, leaving only bones.

This is the body of an adventurer.

This adventurer might have accidentally triggered a mechanism on the rock wall and fallen into the cemetery, but anyone who could reach here must be at least a Bronze-level adventurer, so it is impossible that he was trapped to death because he could not climb the 5-meter-high cliff.

Then there is only one possibility left, that he was killed by something.

Frey soon discovered that there was a hole running from left to right on the side of the armor.

"Noelle, inject magic power into the Thunderfire Sword immediately!"

Just as Frey gave the order, a beam of blue light shone out from the gap between the bricks on the stone wall.

Then, accompanied by a loud bang, the stone wall opened from the middle, and the figure of a monster appeared in Frey's sight.

[One-eyed Stone Man, Rank Three]

This is a three-meter-tall stone man made entirely of iron-gray rock. His body is covered with scales that are fastened to his body by chains.

The stone man's arms are extremely thick, and in the center of its oval head is a glowing blue crystal, which is its eye.

After revealing itself, the one-eyed stone man's eyes radiated further light, covering Frey and Noelle as if performing an identification scan.

The blue light quickly turned into red, and it seemed that the recognition failed.

After determining Frey and Noelle as intruders, the light in the stone man's eyes began to gather, preparing to shoot lasers.

Just as the laser was about to be launched, Noel's Thunder and Fire Sword was already swung out.

As soon as the stone man appeared, Frey gave Noel the order to attack, and the Thunder and Fire Sword hit the stone man's eyes.

With the continuous infusion of magic power, huge pillars of fire continued to burn and violent thunder continued to bombard.

To be honest, both thunder and fire are attributes that are restrained by the stone man, but relying on the output of Li Dazhuanfei, after 10 seconds, Noel's attack successfully cut a crack in the stone man's head and killed him.

Being able to hold out for 10 seconds under the full force of the Thunder and Fire Sword shows that this one-eyed stone man's defense is far stronger than that of the enhanced Rotten Giant, which is also a third-level monster.

The battle was not over yet. After the first stone man fell, two more stone men appeared from behind it.

To make matters worse, with another loud rumble, the ceiling above opened and a stone man jumped down from it, blocking their way behind them.

According to the information Frey had learned, there should only be one Cyclops, a powerful third-level monster second only to elite monsters, in the same area, but now four of them appeared at the same time.

And judging from their behavior patterns, they should be guarding the cemetery.

Although Frey was curious about how Petrarch had the monsters in the maze serve as guards for him, now was not the time to think about such things.

Seeing that a stone man in front was about to fire a laser, Frey quickly fired a rock cannonball.

The rock cannonball hit the stone man's eye. Although it did not cause any effective damage, it temporarily delayed its movement.

"Noelle, get down immediately and use the stone man you just knocked down as cover."

Just as Noel lay down, the stone man behind him shot out a laser. Frey quickly jumped sideways to avoid it, and the laser immediately pierced the ground where he was standing.

Judging from the power of the laser, once hit, the body will be directly penetrated.

When Frey successfully dodged the laser behind him, the two stone men in front of him also shot lasers, and he had to jump to avoid them again.

The interval between laser launches is 5 seconds, and it takes 10 seconds to kill the stone man with the Thunderfire Sword. Noel cannot dodge the other two laser beams while attacking one stone man.

"Noelle, no matter what happens, don't get up until I give you a sign."

After instructing Noel, Frey began to deal with the three stone men.

The three stone men kept firing lasers, and Frey, relying on his high agility, dodged them by jumping sideways and rolling.

But as the distance between the three stone men, two in front and one behind, continued to shrink, the space available for Frey to hide became smaller and smaller.

Frey also tried to break out to avoid being attacked from both sides, but the stone men were equally strong in close combat. Once Frey got close, they would swing their stone arms and strike hard.

After 5 minutes of pulling, the distance between the three stone men in front and behind was only 5 meters, and they sandwiched Frey in the middle.

A stone man shot a laser first, and Frey continued to jump to avoid it, but just when his body was in mid-air, the other two stone men shot lasers at him one after another, leaving him with no way to avoid it.

Through this fight, they have learned Frey's moves.

And this was the moment Frey had been waiting for.

Just before the laser was about to hit, Frey shot out a grappling hook to pull himself up, and the two laser beams that were originally shot three meters into the air just hit the heads of the two stone men in front and behind.

During the dodging process just now, Frey had been fine-tuning his position so that the two stone men would stand in the same straight line.

Under Frey's micro-management, the two stone men died at the hands of their teammates.

At the same time, as Frey made a gesture, Noel, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, jumped up and slashed at the last stone man with the activated Thunderfire Sword.

A moment later, the four stone men were all killed, and Frey and Noelle were finally able to enter Petrarch's tomb behind the stone wall.

Chapter 40 The Golden Law

The space behind the stone wall is more like a small square than a secret room, with some objects that look like sacrificial utensils placed on the square.

Frey explored around and did not find the coffin, but he saw a painting on the wall directly behind the tomb.

It is not quite appropriate to call it a painting, because the lines of the portrait are extremely rough, like a child's graffiti, and the colors are simply applied using the juice of plants in the maze.

Judging from the marks on the wall, this painting must have been created recently. The portrait shows a human with black hair.

The man raised the silver stick in his hand, like a guardian god, and under him, there was a group of black humanoid creatures.

What a strong sense of déjà vu.

Just as Frey's attention was drawn to the painting, he suddenly discovered something unusual coming from above.

There is a hole on the ceiling in the corner of the tomb, which is just big enough to accommodate a person.

At the entrance of the cave, a black figure was leaning down and observing Frey.

Frey quickly recognized the guy's true identity.

Isn't this the two-thorn monkey?

At the same time, the two-spined ape also saw Frey's appearance clearly, so it quickly jumped out of the cave and made a series of cooing sounds.

After hearing the cry of the first spiny ape, one spiny ape after another emerged from the hole in the ceiling, and in the end there were more than 80 spiny apes in total.

After all the spiny apes crawled out, Frey started to explore the cave entrance.

Above the cave entrance is a vertical rock wall, nearly a hundred meters deep, and the exit is covered with a stone.

Judging from the depth of the underground tomb, this hole should lead all the way up to the ground on the 19th floor of the maze.

This cave entrance should be a natural crack formed during the geological movement of the maze. This group of spiny monkeys probably accidentally discovered the underground tomb along this crack, so they used it as their secret hiding place.

With their sturdy arms and fingers with sharp nails like hooks, the two-spined monkeys are very good at climbing. They are the only monsters in the second tier that can use such vertical passages to travel back and forth.

In other words, the two-spined apes were not actually killed off. They simply transformed into the Tomb Stalker Sect and hid underground.

"Gugu ga ga! Gugu ga ga!" The leading two-spined ape made a series of calls, and then all the two-spined apes immediately looked at Frey in unison.

Then, an incredible scene appeared before Frey. The group of spiny apes suddenly raised their hands in unison, their hands maintaining a perfect 45-degree angle, their bodies leaning forward slightly, and shouting excitedly:
