Suddenly, countless magnificent palaces materialized out of nowhere.
The array of numerous pointed towers gave it the look of an eccentric crown. The colors were splendid
and colorful, glistening under the sun.
Heaps of rare divine crystals, magic treasures, precious natural resources and priceless herbs could be
seen inside the palaces.
Treasures that they had never even heard of were littered all over the place.
It was like a feast for their eyes—a myriad of these valuable items created dazzling lights, almost like
glitter.
This was beyond what they could have ever expected.
If they were to estimate the total, they would assume that these treasures were billions!
However, these precious items that lay before their eyes were merely projections that showed those
palaces' interior.
It was hard to tell whether these dazzling items existed or not.
"Damn! This is excessive! I have never seen treasures this plenty." Creatures laughed merrily as soon
as they saw them. Their eyes glistened with greed and lust.
More creatures commented. "Ha-ha! I'm going be rich!"
"Ha-ha! The Land of Outlaw is indeed full of treasures. It is worth the travel."
Thrilled, they fixed their gaze skyward at the projections. The sparkle in their eyes was evident of
excitement.
They took in the palaces' indescribably beauty. It was magnificent, built with a panorama of colors that
panned everywhere.
If they wanted to keep moving, they would have to pass through these palaces.
They were left with no other choice.
The hard part about passing through the magnificent castles was that the projections attracted the
creatures immensely.
They all swallowed greedily as they stared blankly at them.
"Come on, let's go and have a look," one of them coaxed.
Finally, all the creatures plucked up their courage and made their way towards the palaces.
"Let's be careful. There might be danger lurking between these walls.
Although these palaces may appear safe and harmless, it's possible that there are traps inside them.
Therefore, if we decide to enter the buildings, we have to unite and overcome the difficulties together!"
a genuine premium-grade divine god suggested before they walked into the buildings.
"That's a good idea!"
The creatures affirmed their companion's sensible plan.
Up to now, the group who arrived on the Land of Outlaw had been on good terms since they set foot on
the place. There was no conflict or argument among them.
Since they were aware that the Land of Outlaw was perilous, they thought it best to congregate and
look after each other.
"All right, then. Let's go inside together!"
A genuine premium-grade divine god was the first one to enter one of the palaces.
The other creatures followed suit.
Austin, along with Wilfred, also sped up and made their way towards the splendid castles.
He immediately felt the sky and earth spinning around him.
He felt like he was seeing stars and his vision slightly blurred.
A moment later, he felt his feet touch the ground.
He steadied himself, and started to examine his surroundings.
Austin was in awe. He found himself standing inside a magnificent palace. The building was made of
rare divine crystals of different colors; it was a kaleidoscope of colors.
As far as he observed, the palace was very huge and it covered an area of at least billions of miles.
There were pavilions, terraces and towers everywhere. There were also artificial hills, ponds, moat,
streets, and markets all around.
Austin raised his eyebrows in suspicion.
"Something is wrong. Before entering, there were countless of palaces from all around.
Where're the rest of them?
Did I enter one of them?"
Puzzled, Austin murmured to himself.
Austin halted his movement. He thoroughly observed his surroundings, confused.
"Huh? Where's the other creatures with me?
Where is Wilfred?" Austin called out.
As he turned and looked for his companions, they were nowhere to be found.
All the other creatures were gone.
'Hmm, is there a teleportation array around?
We were sent to different palaces, '
Austin thought to himself.
"I'll try to reach Wilfred," he said to no one.
Austin then unleashed his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings.
However, he found that there was some mysterious force that got in his way.
"Woah! That's amazing"
Austin exclaimed as he perceived the powers and laws preventing him from detecting his surroundings.
Due to the mysterious forces and laws, his spiritual sense could only cover up to a thousand meters
from where he stood.
He felt like he was being watched.
He saw some strange things and heard some unusual sound.
"Damn it! I'm hallucinating!
I need to be extra careful,"
Austin decided as he withdrew his spiritual sense.
"I'd better go and find Wilfred."
Then, Austin activated his bodily movement skill to look for his colleague.
As he threaded through, he witnessed various odd-looking buildings painted in different colors.
Austin kept moving and he had no idea how long he had traveled.
All of a sudden, he realized something. 'Wait a minute, ' he thought.
Austin paused in his tracks and his eyes widened in shock.
"What's going on? Why am I still in the exact same place? Did I just go back to where I was just now?"
he exclaimed as he looked around.
Everything around him was just the same when he first entered the palace.
"I will try again!"
Austin headed in a different direction and moved swiftly. Unfortunately, he had the same results.
"Damn it! I returned to the same place again."
The surrounding scenery was still the same as it was when he first came in.
"Am I in a maze?"
Austin furrowed his eyebrows.
'I haven't realized that I'm inside one. Apparently, this maze is intricately crafted, ' he analyzed inwardly.
Then, Austin tried different paths in an order to get out of the palace.
However, nothing changed.
For every attempt he made, he ended up coming back to where he had been.
'Let's see if I can reach the others, ' he thought to himself.
Austin took out several high-level spiritual tokens. 'Here goes nothing, ' he thought as he tried to reach
Wilfred through them.
These high-grade spiritual tokens were made by Wilfred.
However, he didn't receive any response after he send several voice messages.
'The spiritual token doesn't work either.'
Austin sighed.
'It looks like that I am struck in this remarkable maze.
I've been wandering around for half a day and I am still here, '
Austin thought to himself.
"Even though I am trapped in here right now, I have to admit that this place took some careful time and
work to be done. It's indeed amazing,"
Austin remarked as he smiled bitterly.
While he was at a loss and didn't know what to do, a huge shadow popped out from behind him.
It brought him back to his senses.
The massive shadow bolted towards Austin, carrying terrifying power.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The immense amount of energy surged over, causing the space around Austin to explode.
"I can't believe it! It's a house!"
Austin quickly turned his back to see what it was. He was taken aback with what was before him.
A massive house was flying towards him.
The two gates of the house opened and closed like a huge mouth, trying to bite Austin.
"Damn it! You've gotta be kidding me! Even a house can attack people on its own?!"
Austin hollered, unable to process this surprising development.
"Freeze!"
Austin concentrated, and released the white cold current. In an instant, the cold current flooded the
house.
The icy blast covered the house, making the surface of the house freeze.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Soon, the house turned into a huge heavy ice block.
With a loud bang, it fell to the ground.
