Reversi Maze

Within the black magic circle.

The girls looked around worriedly, while the beautiful woman hurriedly took long, shapely legs to the side of the formation, carefully observing it, hoping to use her knowledge to break it.

Only.

She knew too little about formations, and dark formations were the most difficult to break, so looking at the formation in front of her was like looking at a book written in heaven; she couldn't understand it at all.

This outcome caused worry to appear on her beautiful face, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead; she was clearly very anxious.

"We're doomed. This formation is far too difficult. I can't solve it at all. Even if I had a lifetime, I still wouldn't be able to figure it out. We're finished. We're going to be imprisoned here forever."

The beautiful woman clenched her fair hands tightly and murmured softly, feeling a sense of despair, as if her life was about to end, for the first time.

Undeterred, she continued to observe and study, but she couldn't understand even the simplest formations, which frustrated her greatly.

"Sister Liu Mei, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up, Uncle has already moved on."

Mengmeng voice rang out, quickly reaching the beautiful woman's ears, leaving her feeling somewhat bewildered.

The beautiful woman turned her head in confusion, and the next second her eyes widened in surprise.

Because that mysterious and extraordinary formation, like a celestial scripture, was actually opened and broken.

"The formation... the formation has been broken? How could the formation be broken? This is the most difficult dark-type formation ever!"

The beautiful woman spoke in disbelief, her voice rising several decibels.

"I don't know either. Uncle Lin Yi just stood there for a few moments, then opened the door and walked on," Mengmeng said, confused.

"It opened after a few fiddlings?"

The beautiful woman felt a little dizzy. Such a difficult Dark Formation, known throughout the world for its rarity and mystery, had actually been broken.

The key is that it was cracked in just a few tries; that's incredibly fast.

This unbelievable result was completely unacceptable to the beautiful woman; the shock was so great that she was somewhat bewildered.

"Hurry up, Sister Liu Mei, they're already far away."

As Mengmeng spoke, she pulled up the bewildered beautiful woman and led her quickly to catch up with Naruto.

Throughout the entire process, the beautiful woman remained in a daze, following along like a puppet on strings, and it took her a long time to react.

When she regained consciousness, she found that she and her companions had actually reached the tenth level. In other words, in such a short time, Lin Yi had actually solved the eighth and ninth levels.

Such methods and such speed left the beautiful woman completely stunned, staring blankly at Naruto.

During this time, she also learned that Naruto's strength was only level six, which was far too low, so she followed Lin Xue to protect Naruto.

But who would have thought?

They didn't have to do anything along the way; they just followed along like fools and were completely useless.

Lin Yi appeared to be only at level six, easily resolved all the problems. The entire process was so well-planned and convincing.

This outcome made the beautiful woman admire Lin Xue's father even more, feeling that he was truly extraordinary, able to easily resolve everything even without real strength.

Boom!

The tenth checkpoint was opened, revealing a passage leading to the second level of the Ancient Ruins, which made the beautiful woman even more impressed.

"That's incredible! I haven't even had a chance to see what the tenth level is, and Lord Lin Yi has already solved it. That's too fast." The beautiful woman quietly looked at Naruto, admiring his extraordinary abilities from the bottom of her heart.

"Alright, you guys go to the second floor first. The tenth level is closed. I'll create some minor trouble for the people behind me." Naruto smiled mysteriously and began to arrange everything.

Seeing Naruto's ingenious arrangement, the beautiful woman looked back with pity and silently mourned for those behind him.

The second level of the Ancient Ruins.

This is a huge maze.

The maze's floor is like a chessboard, presented in the form of black and white pieces, but it seems to rotate, which is very strange.

The beautiful woman and Lin Xue arrived at the entrance to the second-level maze and were stunned by the mysterious maze.

"Could this be the legendary Reversi Maze? The most difficult maze to solve in legend?" the beautiful woman exclaimed in surprise.

"Reversi Maze?"

Lin Xue and Mengmeng were relatively young and inexperienced, so they looked at the beautiful woman with suspicion upon hearing this.

"Yes, this Reversi Maze is terrifying. It's known as a one-way street maze, and it's the easiest maze to get lost in. It's extremely dangerous; those who enter may never come out," the beautiful woman explained.

"That's amazing?!"

Upon hearing this, Mengmeng looked towards the maze with some fear, shrinking back like a little rabbit, not daring to get too close.

Lin Xue looked worried. She didn't want to enter the maze because it was too dangerous, but she knew her father would never leave, so she was very concerned.

"Sister Liu Mei, is there any way to break it? Or a way to leave? I'm worried..." Lin Xue didn't finish her sentence, her beautiful face filled with worry.

"Actually, the Reversi Maze has a 'fight to the death' mechanic: if someone reaches the maze's exit, those trapped inside will be teleported back to the entrance, which is a form of rescue, but..."

"But this maze is absolutely nightmarish. I'm worried that once we go in, we'll never get out, and neither will anyone else," the beautiful woman said anxiously.

"This..."

Lin Xue fell silent, gazing quietly at the maze. She began to make a decision: to persuade her father not to enter the maze.

Ta-ta-ta!

Familiar footsteps sounded, and everyone looked over to see Naruto slowly walking towards them.

"Father, this is Reversi Maze, a very dangerous maze. We shouldn't go in; it's too dangerous," Lin Xue said worriedly.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Naruto smiled confidently and walked into the maze without hesitation, exuding a calm and composed aura.

Such performance, such confidence, gradually gave hope to everyone, but...

As they followed Naruto into the maze, their confidence vanished instantly upon seeing the black and white, checkerboard-like environment. They all looked at Naruto with worried eyes.

"Come with me. Don't worry, it's just a maze. It's a bit big and will take three days to walk through, but it won't be difficult to get out."

Naruto offered a few words of encouragement to the girls, then led the way, occasionally turning to choose a direction, appearing quite relaxed.

This relaxed attitude also inspired Lin Xue and the other girls, who finally regained some confidence and silently followed Naruto.

Time passed slowly, and soon another day was over.

The entrance to the second level of the Ancient Ruins.

The two groups looked at the opened passageway with disarray, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, don't let me find out who's in front. If I do, I'm going to beat him up. He's such a jerk."

Ninth Sister touched her dark, grimy face and clenched her little fists indignantly.

"They showed mercy, so don't say anything more, or we'll be in even worse shape," Sixth Brother sighed, sounding somewhat helpless.

"Hmph, but I'm still angry. How dare they treat us like this!" Ninth Sister said, still angry.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. They're just trying to slow us down."

"Yes, but their methods are really impressive, especially their formation. They even broke it before Sixth Brother. The key is that they arrived later than us. That's truly remarkable."

"I really want to see who's so amazing, managing to solve so many levels with such ingenuity, unlike us who only know how to use brute force."
