The beast's first entry into the maze, while cultivating feelings

Lin Feng was in Lance City, the only human city in this area.

For Lin Feng, this city was a feng shui treasure land.

To the east was Ulu Valley, home of the Dwarves who were good at forging. In the future, if he collected high-level materials, he could ask them to forge weapons.

To the west was the Great Forest, home of the Beastmen and Elves.

The Beastmen were like cheap slaves, while the Elves were particularly good at magic enchantments. Perhaps in the future, he could ask them to enchant weapons.

Besides, there were many mazes around, which were full of opportunities for maze explorers like Lin Feng.

At the moment, the two of them were walking on a small road on the outskirts of the city, about to go to the maze nearest to Lance City.

"I really wasn't looking at your butt yesterday. Don't get me wrong." Lin Feng was still explaining to Yuna about the misunderstanding that happened when they were buying weapons. "I was just a little curious about your tail. I didn't think about anything else."

"Well... I understand what you mean, Master. After all, boys will be interested in all kinds of things." Yuna answered perfunctorily. She didn't want to continue discussing this embarrassing topic.

Seeing her knowing look, Lin Feng immediately realized that his explanation was futile.

Jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash this clean.

Forget it. Misunderstandings will be misunderstandings. At least now he could look openly.

The two kept walking. After a while, Yuna felt a little bored.

She drew out her beloved giant sword and waved it a few times, murmuring softly, "Wow, humans are so evil, but the things they make are pretty good!"

Seeing her cherishing the weapon, Lin Feng suddenly wanted to tempt her again.

"Human forging skills are not the best yet. Dwarf forging skills are the best. Most of the artifacts in the world come from the hands of Dwarf craftsmen."

"I'll take you to the Dwarves to forge you an exclusive weapon when there is a chance."

Perhaps this could motivate her.

He thought Yuna would be overjoyed and agree at once.

But without thinking, she said, "No, it sounds expensive."

"I'm paying, not you." Lin Feng glanced at Yuna and found her looking back at him too. Their eyes met.

"No, too expensive. Can't afford it. And then I'll owe you another favor." Yuna waved her giant sword, which was almost as tall as her, and said to Lin Feng very seriously, "This too! I'll just borrow money from you and definitely pay you back in the future!"

!!

What an independent beast girl. So amazing!

Lin Feng couldn't help increasing his good feelings towards her.

Wasn't she much stronger than some modern women?

If he could make her his wife, she would definitely be a virtuous wife and loving mother!

Yuna had been stared at by Lin Feng all this while and felt uneasy. She scratched her cheek pretending nothing had happened while still waving her giant sword.

After some time, the two stopped under a towering tree.

Yuna looked at Lin Feng doubtfully, then carefully observed the tree.

It was lush with thick foliage, even sturdier than many century-old trees in the forest.

If the trunk was hollowed out, it could probably house many people.

But there didn't seem to be anything special about this tree.

"We're here. This is the maze," Lin Feng's words snapped Yuna out of her thoughts. "This is the lowest level maze near Lance City. I often came here when I first arrived."

"Tree House?" Yuna tiptoed and looked around but found nothing. Her gaze fell back on Lin Feng's face. "Where is it? Where's the maze?"

Her ears twitched twice. Even her bewildered look was so cute.

Lin Feng walked to the tree and placed his hand on it, chanting an incantation Yuna didn't understand.

A few seconds later, a pitch-black cave opened up magically on the tree trunk.

The curious Yuna dashed up eagerly and craned her neck to look inside.

As expected, her proud night vision was useless.

"Can't see clearly beyond half a meter...pitch black."

This made Yuna feel uneasy. She didn't like going to places where she couldn't see her fingers.

"The interior of mazes does not exist in the real world. It's impossible to directly see the inside from the real world," Lin Feng patiently explained to Yuna.

"Each maze is like a dimly lit room that's hard to see inside from the outside."

Yuna stared at Lin Feng blankly. After a long pause, she suddenly quibbled, "But I can usually see clearly inside rooms from outside."

Lin Feng was speechless for a moment at her nitpicking.

Although he knew Yuna didn't do it on purpose, he still felt somewhat helpless.

"Humans generally can't see clearly. Eyes take time to adjust to changes in light levels. You are a wolf, so you must be much better than humans in this."

Yuna's face showed a smile. She suddenly felt a strange sense of superiority for no reason.

"This tree is like a door, and the spell I just chanted is like the key to open the door," Lin Feng patiently explained to Yuna.

Not knowing if she would understand, but he felt that he had to explain everything she hadn't seen before.

"Oh, I see." Yuna nodded.

Seeing that, Lin Feng nodded satisfiedly, then stretched out his hand to her.

"What's up?"

"Hold my hand. It's dark inside. Don't want us to get separated."

Yuna looked up at Lin Feng skeptically, but for some reason, she instinctively took his hand.

In an instant, the uneasiness in her heart disappeared.

The rough, big and warm palm reminded Yuna of when her father held her hand as a child.

"Let's go in. It's really dark inside. Be careful not to trip and fall." Lin Feng reminded her gently.

"Okay."

Following Lin Feng, Yuna stepped in. Her vision went pitch black instantly, but she wasn't afraid at all.

Light gradually returned and the two climbed out from vine-covered stone walls.

They had arrived inside the maze.

"We're here. You can let go now."

Like waking up from a dream, Yuna quickly let go and looked at Lin Feng awkwardly.

Not knowing what she was thinking, Lin Feng only felt that she had gripped really hard just now.

Looking down, he saw nail marks left on the back of his hand.

Following his gaze, Yuna hurriedly lowered her head. "Sorry, I was absent-minded just now, thinking about something else! Did I hurt you?"

"It's fine."

"Or...or you can pinch me too?" She stretched out her slender fingers.

"No need for that. Just perform well from now on." Lin Feng waved his hand.

It was just a pinch after all. Not like it would take out a chunk of his flesh.

He looked forward more to Yuna's performance next.

After all, she was a quality piece with decent level. Clearing this maze shouldn't be a problem.

Just then, sounds came from the darkness ahead.

It was like something slimy rubbing against the ground.

Yuna's ears twitched as she glanced back and pointed in the direction of the sound, "Master, there is a Slime coming from over there."

As expected of Yuna, able to see the monster clearly even in this pitch black place.

But such low level monsters posed no threat at all. It was a good chance to see Yuna's true capabilities.

"Go, Yuna! Kill it!"

"You got it!" Holding her giant sword, Yuna dashed into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
