Chapter 1103 - 1101: Mysterious Maze? Let’s Strengthen It and See

After fighting two battles alongside Dominic, Gu Xi's strongest impression of Dominic is his lack of emotional intelligence.

Nevertheless, he is indeed a leader-level existence.

In future battles, he is bound to take charge, standing alone as a high-ranking figure.

Whether he has emotional intelligence isn't actually important, as long as it doesn't affect his intelligence.

Gu Xi never imagined that Dominic would have moments of sudden insight.

Upon hearing Gu Xi talk about the eerie maze within the Demon City, Dominic's first thought wasn't about how to find, expel, or suppress the maze.

Instead, he wondered if he should leverage this mysterious maze.

This was something Gu Xi had never thought of.

In Gu Xi's mind, the first and second city lords of the Underground City surely did many things to deal with the mysterious maze.

Ultimately, they had to abandon such a great Underground City, and Gu Xi may not have any solution in a short period.

Dominic was different.

He immediately came up with an idea.

A maze, once people enter, they disappear within it.

So, sending more troops into the maze seemed like a good idea.

The biggest problem with this mysterious maze is not knowing where it's hidden in the city, being out of the City Lord's control, and occasionally swallowing troops.

But if you can fix the maze in place, its threat is halved.

The remaining half is whether the maze has a safe passage or not.

If there's a safe way out.

Then it's a maze that can be conquered.

For now, let's not worry about other circumstances.

The first task at hand is to locate the maze that could appear at any moment and secure it in place.

In Dominic's thinking, what the second city lord of the Underground City did was wrong.

He merely moved all buildings related to the maze together.

Wasn't that essentially abandoning other parts of the city?

It's no wonder the second city lord developed the Underground City so well but still abandoned the entire city.

If it were Dominic, he would continually strengthen the mysterious maze, forcing it to stay fixed in one position.

By then, whether it's suppression or directly cutting out the part of the city with the maze, wouldn't it all be convenient?

They really don't know how to handle things.

Dominic shook his head and decisively issued orders.

Under Dominic's command, a large number of harpies and scorpion lions flew out.

This wave of harpies and scorpion lions were commanded to attack the solitary Deceitful Shadows and mysterious entities nearby.

After killing these beings, they were instructed to bring back the Deceitful Energy Pearls they transformed into.

The number of harpies isn't large, but their combat power is quite decent.

The portion of harpies sent out is the battle mage type, belonging to those flying in the air, throwing wind blades, small tornadoes, or lightning balls downwards.

Unlike the close combat type harpies.

They don't have the agile maneuvering abilities of close combat type harpies, who can quickly return to their pre-attack positions after attacking.

They can only conduct stationary attacks from the air, much like a turret in the sky, attacking downwards.

If they encounter some flying or long-range enemies, their situation isn't so optimistic.

To ensure their safety, Dominic also dispatched scorpion lions.

After the deployment, the harpies and scorpion lions first selected and attacked solitary Deceitful Shadows and mysterious entities.

Upon finding out that the opponents weren't that strong, their targets gradually expanded from three to five individuals, eventually attacking battle units over ten members.

The slain Deceitful Shadows naturally transformed into Deceitful Energy Pearls immediately.

These Deceitful Energy Pearls are somewhat useful for the Undead.

But for harpies and scorpion lions, these items are neither edible nor useful.

Incorporating them into weapons may not even strengthen the weapons' effects.

Most importantly, harpies and scorpion lions don't have significant needs for weaponry and equipment.

If not for Dominic's requirement, they wouldn't even bother bringing these Deceitful Energy Pearls back.

After acquiring some Deceitful Energy Pearls, Dominic called out the minotaurs.

Minotaurs are the only creatures that don't get lost in the maze.

After releasing the minotaurs, Dominic placed a pile of Deceitful Energy Pearls before them.

"You should all know the legend of the mysterious maze.

Personally, I think this maze isn't eerie enough.

Send these Deceitful Energy Pearls into the mysterious maze.

Use them to enhance the mysterious maze."

The summoned minotaurs are those who've already been working in the Underground City.

Unlike untrained minotaurs in the maze, they aren't all foolish rookies.

Having worked in the Underground City for a long time, they're relatively familiar with the city's legends.

Upon hearing Dominic's command, they were at a loss for words.

Previous City Lords only sought to drive away the mysterious maze, at least minimize its impact on the city.

They never expected Dominic to aim at strengthening the maze's effects.

Could Dominic be a fool, unaware of the maze's dangers?

However, the minotaurs didn't think too much.

In their minds, no matter how much the mysterious maze is enhanced, it won't affect them.

So ultimately, they took these Deceitful Energy Pearls into the maze.

Watching the minotaurs' actions, a hint of disdain flashed in Dominic's eyes.

They're truly a brainless bunch of minotaurs.

No wonder he didn't hesitate when eating minotaur meat.

By doing this, weren't they telling Dominic that minotaurs and the mysterious maze are somehow connected?

If not for Dominic's premeditated plans, just this reason would've been enough for him to kill all the minotaurs in the city.

After the minotaurs left with the Deceitful Energy Pearls, Dominic didn't remain idle either.

Though the occurrence of the mysterious maze is significant.

The monster siege won't halt preparations due to the maze's emergence.

Dominic's focus remained on addressing the monster siege.

After all, the siege is the most crucial thing at present.

If this issue isn't resolved, even if there's a way to deal with the maze, there might not be a maze to deal with.

So after arranging for those minotaurs, his attention shifted to the intelligence gathered around Demon City.

Beyond the Demon City lies even more desolate land.

On this land, the number of Deceitful Shadows and their levels have noticeably changed.

These Deceitful Shadows no longer gather as villages like when Gu Xi came to slay them.

They've even occupied various resource points, forging weapons uniquely theirs.

All they lack now is building a city.
