Chapter 315: Exploiting a Bug, Infinite Point Farming
Looking at the mountain-sized mass of flesh before him.
Li Wei backed away step by step, not daring to get any closer.
The thing in front of him gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.
This mass of flesh might not be more powerful than the World-destroying Serpent.
But it was more dangerous.
At least, that was the case for him.
Li Wei had been running all over the deepest part of the Endless Maze, witnessing all sorts of monsters imprisoned in the Divine Prison.
He even found a Copper Key in one of the prisons.
The Golden Key opens the doors in the deepest part of the Endless Maze.
The Silver Key opens the doors in the core of the Endless Maze.
The Copper Key opens the doors in the inner ring of the Endless Maze.
This Copper Key was probably dropped by someone who had come to the deepest part of the Endless Maze.
As for why it was dropped, Li Wei guessed the person was most likely dead.
He looked around, wondering where the danger was coming from.
He had already explored most of the surrounding Divine Prisons.
Some held monsters, while others were completely empty.
He couldn’t get close to most of the monsters and could only observe them from a distance.
It seemed there was no longer any benefit to staying here.
After killing the Legendary Werewolf, Death Hunter, Li Wei discovered that he couldn’t obtain Points in the deepest part of the Endless Maze.
The power of the Elemental Tower couldn’t reach this far.
Even if he killed countless powerful enemies here, he wouldn’t get a single Point.
Li Wei’s only option was to leave the deepest part.
With the Blood Soul Flower and two Death Wolf Fangs, this trip hadn’t been for nothing.
Li Wei took out the Copper Key and opened a Teleportation Gate.
Stepping through the Bronze Teleportation Gate, Li Wei appeared inside a medium-sized Maze Palace Hall.
Based on his experience, the trial here should be combat-related.
TAP, TAP, TAP!
A bloated, pig-headed man in Armor, carrying a huge Chain Hammer, appeared before Li Wei.
The pig-headed Warrior swung its Chain Hammer, smashing it down toward Li Wei.
The power of the Tier Four High Level pig-headed Warrior was terrifyingly immense.
A single blow could even kill a Tier Four Magical Beast.
Li Wei used his Object Control Skill to manipulate a Death Wolf Fang.
WHOOSH!
A Death Wolf Fang shot out, piercing the pig-headed Warrior’s forehead.
Instantly, as if all its strength had been drained, the pig-headed Warrior collapsed to the ground.
An instant kill.
The Death Wolf Fang, glowing with a blue light, flew back to Li Wei’s side.
The battle was over.
Li Wei received forty Points.
Just as he was about to leave, a cracking sound came from above.
Looking up, he saw a large number of Star Worms clinging to the top of the Maze Palace Hall, gnawing at the spatial barrier.
The spatial barriers of the inner ring Mazes were clearly much sturdier than those of the outer ring.
The Star Worms gnawed for a long time but couldn’t break through.
That is, until a huge Star Worm appeared and spewed a stream of dark green liquid from its mouth.
This mysterious liquid could actually corrode and induce Brittleness in the spatial barrier.
CRACK!
A hole was bitten through the spatial barrier.
Star Worms began to pour through the opening.
Li Wei wanted to test the power of the Death Wolf Fang.
He wanted to see if the Star Worms, which were said to be able to adapt to any extreme environment, could withstand an attack from the Death Wolf Fang.
WHOOSH!
A Death Wolf Fang struck a Star Worm, grazing it on the side.
It was just a small wound.
But the Star Worm died instantly.
It crashed to the ground, flipped over, and was completely dead.
The Star Worm died, and his Magic Badge vibrated.
Points +20.
Li Wei was startled. After a moment of thought, he understood why.
’This is a Battle Maze.’
’Killing enemies inside a Battle Maze grants Points.’
’The number of Points depends on the strength of the enemy.’
Normally, after Li Wei killed the enemies inside a Battle Maze, no new ones would appear.
He would have to move on to the next Maze level.
The Star Worms had invaded from the outside, becoming new enemies inside the Battle Maze.
When Li Wei killed a Star Worm, it was equivalent to killing an enemy native to the Battle Maze.
So he could earn Points.
He looked at the endless stream of Star Worms pouring in and was overjoyed.
’This is basically a bug in the Endless Maze.’
’But not just anyone can exploit it.’
Because Star Worms have extremely strong adaptive abilities.
Even if someone else stumbled upon this good fortune, they would only be able to kill a few Star Worms before being forced to flee the Maze.
But Li Wei had the Death Wolf Fang.
The Death Wolf Fang came from the Legendary Level Werewolf, Death Hunter.
It was considered a Legendary Level item.
Even the Star Worms couldn’t withstand the power of a Legendary Level item.
When attacked by the Death Wolf Fang, a Star Worm would die instantly.
It had no time to evolve.
Li Wei brought out the second Death Wolf Fang.
He controlled both at once, and the two Death Wolf Fangs began to madly slaughter the Star Worms that crawled into the Maze.
SQUELCH, SQUELCH, SQUELCH!
The slightest touch meant death; not a single Star Worm made it to the ground alive.
They could only fall as corpses, covering the floor.
Eventually, so many Star Worm corpses piled up that Li Wei had to free up a hand to cast Flame Magic to clear them away.
Li Wei’s Points rose rapidly.
After a long time, no more Star Worms came in.
All the Star Worms outside had been killed.
Li Wei recalled his Death Wolf Fangs and glanced at his Magic Badge.
He saw that he had already shot up to third place.
He was less than two hundred Points away from first place.
Li Wei glanced at the Star Worm corpses covering the floor of the Maze Palace Hall.
He casually put a few Star Worm corpses into his Spatial Ring, intending to take them back for research.
Then he headed toward the first Maze level.
After passing through five levels, Li Wei found another Maze Palace Hall being eaten by Star Worms.
Unfortunately, this Maze Palace Hall was a puzzle-type Maze, not a combat-type.
Killing the Star Worms here wouldn’t award any Points.
After dealing with a few Star Worms, Li Wei moved on to the next Maze.
Unexpectedly, the Star Worms followed him into a Battle Maze.
Li Wei had killed their companions.
The Star Worms already considered him an enemy and were hunting him down.
But instead, Li Wei looked pleased.
"Excellent, excellent!"
"ROAR!"
A Tier Four Middle Level Lion Roar Beast appeared before Li Wei.
It charged at him.
WHOOSH!
The Death Wolf Fang pierced the Lion Roar Beast’s throat.
The instant-death effect activated.
The Lion Roar Beast died instantly.
After finishing off the Lion Roar Beast, Li Wei turned to deal with the Star Worms that had followed him into the Battle Maze.
WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH!
SQUELCH, SQUELCH, SQUELCH!
The Death Wolf Fangs flew wildly, and Star Worms fell one after another.
After a while, leaving the ground covered in corpses, the remaining Star Worms retreated, no longer daring to approach.
Li Wei had frightened the Star Worms into submission.
Faced with the instant-death effect of the Death Wolf Fang, the Star Worms’ greatest strength was useless.
Unable to use Adaptive Evolution, the Star Worms’ actual combat power wasn’t very strong.
Li Wei also realized that the Star Worms only seemed so powerful because they had yet to encounter a force capable of inflicting devastating damage on them.
The Star Worms weren’t as unbeatable as they seemed.
Li Wei took out his Magic Badge and saw that his Points had reached a high of 3,561.
He was ranked first on the leaderboard.
The person in second place had 2,960.
Li Wei smiled.
’I’ll keep this up and try to secure the number one spot.’
’As expected, there’s no hope of getting first place by earning Points the normal way. You have to use some little tricks.’
Li Wei had mastered the technique of farming Star Worms to quickly gain Points.
The others had their own little tricks too.
However, their Point gains had already slowed down.
This showed that their little tricks were no match for Li Wei’s technique of exploiting a bug to infinitely farm Star Worms.
