After the tunnel one step away, there was indeed a large piece of cheese placed on a wooden table.

However, on the surface of the cheese, mice are crawling.

The gray rice-colored mice gnawed and climbed densely on the cheese, their limbs crawled rapidly on it, and when they crawled, there was a scalp-numbing sound,

Xue Qixing squatted in the tunnel separated by a wall from the rats, feeling that he was about to have trypophobia.

'That is to say, now I not only have to grab cheese from the dueling guy, but also from this group of densely packed mice. '

Jingyuan poured a basin of cold water first: [Maybe you can't grab the cheese at all, you will be besieged to death by those rats protecting the food first. 】

Each of those mice had sharp teeth and red animal eyes that glowed in the shadows. Xue Qixing didn't dare to challenge whether it was his own flesh or the mice's teeth that were tough.

'Jingyuan, you bastard, you only pour cold water on me! Xue Qixing looked decadent: "Can't you help me find a way..."

[The mouse likes Yin. 】

Jingyuan dropped four words.

Xue Qixing was awakened instantly, and his eyes fell on the torch on the wall: "You mean, fire?" '

[Try it and you will know. 】

Taking the torch off the wall, Xue Qixing leaned against the wall and threw the torch onto the cheese being eaten by the mice.

The hair of these mice is long and dense, and it is extremely easy to be ignited. The moment the torch touches the mouse, the flame spreads rapidly.

The mice crawling densely on the cheese were scalded by the burning flames, screaming and fleeing in all directions.

Many mice ran towards Xue Qixing's direction. Fortunately, Xue Qixing was hiding close to the wall. The mice were only concerned with running away and did not notice Xue Qixing's existence.

Most of the mice were burned to death on the cheese.

And that large piece of cheese was melted into a puddle of mud because of the high temperature of the flame. Of course, there was very little left of the cheese eaten by the mice before it caught fire.

Xue Qixing continued to move forward, and encountered a scene of a group of mice eating cheese at the fork in the tunnel ahead.Sometimes Xue Qixing can throw a torch over these rats, but the cheese will also be burned, and sometimes it is even worse. Xue Qixing doesn't even see the cheese, only the back of the mouse when it finishes eating the cheese and leaves.

A waste of time and a waste of cheese.

Xue Qixing stood beside a pile of cheese that had been eaten by mice, and sighed.

[It's not a thankless task, if this continues, we will never be able to leave this ghostly place. 】

Xue Qixing straightened his back suddenly, his eyes fixed on a piece of cheese residue on the ground.

"The victory requirement of this duel venue is to escape the maze or get the largest cheese, but the cheese has been eaten by mice before I arrived. If I want to get the cheese, I have to kill the mice. The mice are endless , I absolutely cannot kill all the mice, which means that it is impossible to directly get the 'biggest' piece of cheese."

【You mean to say...】

Xue Qixing walked over and picked up the fingernail-sized piece of cheese residue, and held it in his palm: "Less gathering makes more, have you heard of it?"

"I can gather the residue of these cheeses and accumulate them into one largest cheese. Isn't that enough?"

【Xue Qixing, have you ever thought about how big is the definition of 'biggest'? 】

Xue Qixing smiled: "Of course I thought about it. If the biggest is only compared between me and my opponent, I can win as long as I find the cheese that is bigger than him. Now I only have such a little cheese. If I compare with my opponent, if he No cheese, I win, he has bigger cheese than me, he wins."

"But now nothing happens, which shows that this 'maximum' is not compared between our two opponents, but in the whole maze."

"Have you noticed that the size of each piece of cheese we encountered along the way is different, and the largest cheese that Victory requires to find must be the one that is bigger than all the cheeses I have ever seen. So, As long as I accumulate enough cheese, I can win."

[The idea is good, but you have to think about it. If you want to accumulate this fingernail-sized cheese into the largest cheese, how long do you have to save it? 】

"Didn't I just say that the accumulation of a little makes a lot," Xue Qixing cheerfully put the piece of cheese into his side pocket, "A little accumulation makes a lot, you have to do it slowly."

【...You are not allowed to die here for me. 】

Xue Qixing knew what Jingyuan was worried about. He only had 40 days left to live. If he wasted too much time in this maze, he might die here.

"Okay, okay." Xue Qixing pursed his lips and smiled, "I promise you, I won't die here."

Xue Qixing continued to explore in the maze, often following the tide of mice. After the mice ate the cheese, Xue Qixing went up to pick up some leftovers for storage.

Xue Qixing also found a dilapidated satchel on a bone that had been dead for a long time in a tunnel in a maze, which was just used to hold the cheese residue he picked up.

After such a short period of time, Xue Qixing's satchel on his waist has already filled one-third of the cheese, which is as big as Xue Qixing's fist.

If things go on like this, Xue Qixing can save enough cheese slowly.

"I just don't know what's going on with the guy on the other side."

Xue Qixing chatted with Jingyuan while following the group of mice.

Fortunately, the target of the mice is cheese. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't attack. Xue Qixing only took a few extra steps along the way, feeling a little tired, and didn't suffer any damage at all.

"Jingyuan, do you think my opponent is looking for cheese? Or is he looking for the exit of the maze?" Xue Qixing asked.

[You have been walking for so long, do you still remember the way back and forth? 】

Xue Qixing looked at the winding tunnel behind him, and silently recalled: "I probably always chose every intersection to go in my direction. I passed through a total of [-] intersections and saw [-] piles of rats. The cheese I gnawed... If I want to go back..."

Xue Qixing frowned, and drew randomly on the ground with a torch stick in his hand, trying to find his way back.

"No." Xue Qixing gave up, "I forgot."

[Every intersection you pass is different. 】

Xue Qixing nodded: "I have passed through thirty intersections, and none of them are the same."

[Each intersection has at least seven tunnels, that is to say, this maze is huge, at least seven times larger than the thirty intersections you have passed through. 】

[You walked for about six hours. If you want to find the exit of the maze, it will take at least two days. If it were me, I would choose to find cheese. At least cheese can be seen by walking, unlike the exit of the maze , is completely unknown. 】

Xue Qixing felt that what Jing Yuan said made sense: "Since my opponent is likely to be looking for cheese too, then I have to speed up and find a big enough cheese before him."

The plan was good, but Xue Qixing did not find any more cheese. Every time he passed a place with cheese, the mice there would eat up the cheese. It was difficult for Xue Qixing to find any leftovers.

"Something's wrong, these mice eat cheese faster."

Xue Qixing stood at a newly discovered cheese storage place, and all the cheese here had been eaten before he came in.

Xue Qixing could at least see a swarm of rats at the place where the cheese passed in front of him, but this time he didn't even see a trace of the rats.

[The mice are trying to fill their stomachs, and they seem to want to avoid something. 】

"Could it be the natural enemy of mice?"

As soon as Xue Qixing finished speaking, he heard a heavy sound behind him.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

One after another, every time there is a sound, there will be a faint vibration on the ground.The tunnels seemed to shake with the vibrations.

Xue Qixing was so shaken that he couldn't stand still, so he barely stood by propping up on the wall.

The prompt in the ear also came quickly:

[The dwarves are awake, they like to eat cheese the most. 】

"Dwarf? What's the situation?" Xue Qixing leaned against the wall wondering.

Soon, Xue Qixing knew what the dwarf that the voice was talking about was.

Xue Qixing watched helplessly as the top of a tunnel on the right rear was trampled down by a huge foot, and rubble fell down, blocking the entire tunnel.

While the smoke and dust were flying around, Xue Qixing saw another huge foot that could not be surrounded by three people, stepped on the center of the intersection where Xue Qixing was located with a "boom".

It was less than one meter away from Xue Qixing.

After those two feet stepped down, the tunnel above the head began to make rumbling sounds, again and again, as if some heavy object was hitting the top of the tunnel, and the dust and gravel that had accumulated for many years kept falling.

【No, it's going to smash down the top of this tunnel! 】Jingyuan reminded.

Xue Qixing hurriedly ran to the intersection next to him. The second he took a step, the entire tunnel collapsed where he was standing just now, exposing the dark sky above the tunnel.

If he had been hiding a little slower just now, he would have been crushed to death below by the tunnel.

"Um--"

The sound like the beating of bells and drums came from above the tunnel.

Xue Qixing saw that a huge head got into the collapsed tunnel from the sky.

There was a gray-brown beard on the head, and the circumference of the head was larger than the opening of the tunnel, and the head could only protrude a third of it.

A lot of dust stuck to the beard, the mouth was covered by the beard, the breath from the nose blew away the dust in the tunnel, two cloudy brown eyes hung on the face full of wrinkles and orange peel , eyes rolling around.

The head spoke again, with a voice that sounded like thunder: "Obviously—smell—cheese——why—didn't—"

Suddenly, those two eyeballs saw Xue Qixing hiding in a section of the tunnel. The nose on the head was raised, and the beard was trembling. Xue Qixing seemed to see a smile from the mouth under the beard.

"Found—you—little mouse—"

Xue Qixing ran away, cursing this damn Peace Corridor in his heart while running: Is the Peace Corridor blind, calling this thing a dwarf? !
