Under the rapid crawling of the riding lizard, Dan Feng and Roxy quickly arrived at their destination this time.
This was a relatively spacious area with flat ground and an open view, surrounded by not too much withered vegetation or obstacles.
At the end of this open expanse lay the location of the labyrinth. It stood quietly at the entrance to the deadwood forest.
From the outside, this labyrinth didn't differ much from common labyrinths.
It had an entrance leading underground, and the design of the entrance was very conspicuous—clearly deliberately arranged by human hands.
A large pile of stones was heaped around the entrance. These stones were placed in an orderly yet staggered manner, forming a shape resembling a warning marker, seemingly reminding passersby that this was a labyrinth and they should not enter lightly.
Since they would need to return the same way later, Dan Feng decided to have the riding lizard's driver stay put and wait.
He and Roxy slowly walked toward the labyrinth entrance. When they reached the front of the entrance, Roxy stopped in her tracks.
She took out her staff and the Scroll of the Spirit of Light from the storage scroll she carried with her.
Seeing this, Dan Feng stepped forward proactively and took the Scroll of the Spirit of Light from her.
He quickly unfurled the scroll, then focused his mind and continuously poured mana into it.
As Dan Feng infused his mana, the contract text on the scroll began to flicker with faint light.
The light grew brighter and brighter until it finally converged into a dazzling ball of white radiance—this was the Spirit of Light.
"Let's go." Dan Feng looked at the labyrinth ahead and spoke to Roxy in a calm tone.
Roxy nodded, and together with Dan Feng, she stepped into the labyrinth entrance.
As for specific intelligence on this labyrinth, they had already asked the boss about it.
Because Dan Feng and the others had spent money with him, the boss simply told the two everything he knew.
This labyrinth apparently had four floors. The other floors were filled with ordinary magic beasts, while the fourth floor contained rare ones—but the boss didn't know exactly what was inside.
After all, if one wanted a complete and thorough understanding of the labyrinth's situation, they would have to go find a proper intelligence merchant and buy the information. Naturally, the boss wasn't going to spend that kind of money on it.
However, Dan Feng and Roxy weren't worried about encountering any danger. In the face of absolute power, any labyrinth design or trap was nothing more than futile effort.
As usual, the Spirit of Light went ahead first to illuminate and scout the path, allowing them to observe whether there was danger up front.
Then Dan Feng and Roxy followed behind the Spirit of Light as they descended.
During this time, Dan Feng instantly shifted into his Vidyadhara form. His clothes also changed to white and cyan hues, and the Heavy Abyss Pearl slowly floated around Dan Feng, ready to deal with any sudden magic beasts at any moment.
"Dan Feng, no matter how many times I see you in this state, I still find it stunning." Roxy looked at Dan Feng beside her with a face full of smiles, her eyes sparkling with little stars, not hiding her affection for him at all.
Toward Roxy's praise, he didn't know how to respond.
He felt like he had merely changed his outfit and grown horns—nothing particularly special—but seeing the gaze full of love in Roxy's eyes, he still smiled and said, "It's alright, I guess. Maybe this kind of clothing is just the type you like."
However, Dan Feng secretly muttered to himself in his heart: the temperature inside this labyrinth seemed somewhat abnormal. It should have been bone-chillingly cold, yet right now he didn't feel the slightest chill.
Still, he didn't voice this doubt aloud and instead focused his attention on the surrounding environment.
Guided by the Spirit of Light, the two smoothly reached the first floor of the labyrinth.
It was pitch black here, with only the light emitted by the Spirit of Light illuminating the path ahead.
Dan Feng and Roxy observed the surroundings, confirming there was no danger before continuing forward.
However, what surprised them was how few magic beasts there were on the first floor.
Looking around, only a handful of centipede-like magic beasts crawled slowly through the darkness.
These magic beasts didn't appear very strong. Roxy didn't even use her full power—she casually released a few chantless earth magic spells, and those centipede magic beasts were instantly killed.
"It looks like this labyrinth was recently conquered by someone," Dan Feng mused thoughtfully, his gaze sweeping the area as if searching for clues.
Some traces of battle remained on the ground—it seemed to be true.
Dan Feng immediately led Roxy toward the second floor.
The situation on the second floor surprised them somewhat. The number of magic beasts here was also very small—no more than thirty at most.
These magic beasts all looked relatively weak. Dan Feng and Roxy dealt with them easily.
"It won't be this easy to conquer the whole thing, right?" Roxy looked at the dozens of magic beast corpses lying on the ground and said in puzzlement. She hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
Dan Feng shook his head, indicating he didn't know the specifics either. "Maybe the first two floors are just appetizers."
The two continued onward and soon reached the third floor.
The number of magic beasts on this floor was similarly low, and their strength hadn't noticeably increased.
Without hesitation, Dan Feng and Roxy quickly eliminated these magic beasts.
"Just one floor left. There might be magic beasts," Dan Feng said. "But if there aren't any, then we can consider it conquered."
With a hint of anticipation, Dan Feng and Roxy slowly stepped onto the fourth floor.
However, when they descended, they suddenly discovered an unexpected situation.
There was actually another door on the fourth floor!
This door was made of stone and looked extremely heavy. There was only a crack down the middle, but due to the dim light, they couldn't see clearly what was inside.
"There's actually a door here!" Roxy looked at the large door in amazement, a flash of excitement in her eyes.
She eagerly placed her small hand slowly on the door, trying to push it open.
However, no matter how hard Roxy tried, the door remained immovable like a mountain—not budging in the slightest.
After multiple attempts, Roxy finally realized that she probably couldn't open this door with her own strength alone.
So she decisively gave up trying to push it further and then looked toward Dan Feng.
Those beautiful water-blue eyes revealed a look full of expectation, as if silently telling Dan Feng: I believe you can definitely do it!
Dan Feng naturally noticed Roxy's gaze. He gave a faint smile, seemingly responding to her anticipation.
Immediately after, he gently placed one of his hands on the side of the stone door.
Then Dan Feng slowly began to exert force. As his arm gradually applied more power, a low, rumbling sound of stone grinding suddenly rang out in this quiet place.
The sound started faint at first, but as Dan Feng increased his strength, it grew louder and louder.
This sudden noise echoed through the enclosed space, forming a series of reverberations that continuously poured into Roxy's and Dan Feng's ears.
