Chapter 314 Strategy in Despair
Confronting these monstrous elders, Tyler, though unable to use mind-reading, his appraisal ability remained unhindered.
Hence, he had a clear understanding of the identities of the three elders upon approaching them.
Initially, Tyler assumed that the Bloodbane Serpent was specifically targeting the two elders of the Scarlet Family.
However, after confirming that he was being tracked, Tyler realized that he had inadvertently led the enemy of the Scarlet Family into the labyrinth.
"Could the current situation be partly my fault?"
Tyler sighed, refusing to take the blame, considering he was also a victim.
Now that he had a clear understanding of the situation in the labyrinth, Tyler needed to reorganize his thoughts and devise a new strategy.
"Moto-chan, let's change our location."
.
Being tracked, it would be dangerous to stay in one place for too long.
Even without the red light on him, Tyler couldn't afford to be careless.
Thanks to the Goblin Ruler, Tyler could now track the movements of the three elders through the red light pillar.
He clearly saw that the three elders were still rapidly moving towards the exit of Delis Town, and the one causing a ruckus behind them was undoubtedly the Goblin Ruler.
(The Bloodbane Serpent doesn't seem to be coming my way...)

( Is he temporarily unable to move?)
(Or is he waiting for the tracking snakes to report back?)
Tyler pondered and deduced through elimination that the Bloodbane Serpent must have entered the labyrinth from another entrance in Delis Town.
Similarly, as long as the Bloodbane Serpent wasn't particularly stupid, it must have already known about Banning's (Tyler's) corresponding labyrinth exit.
If the Bloodbane Serpent was determined to kill Tyler, it could wait at the labyrinth exit that Tyler was heading towards, a situation Tyler least wanted to encounter.
Fortunately, the Cardinal Elder led the Goblin Ruler towards Tyler's corresponding labyrinth exit, preventing the Bloodbane Serpent from comfortably executing the aforementioned strategy.
However, even after understanding all this, Tyler's situation remained precarious.
The most challenging aspect of the entire situation was that Tyler couldn't defeat anyone, and he could potentially be killed instantly upon confrontation.
Under such a vast power gap, Tyler's options were severely limited.
.
Gazing at the distant battlefield, where the clamor was earth-shattering, Tyler leaned against the sturdy body of Moto-chan, ruffled his hair, and let out a bitter chuckle.
The final stage of the "Labyrinth: Aqua Nest" was about to commence.
(The Cardinal and Obsidian Elders had no heart for battle; they only wished to retreat from the labyrinth exit of the Scarlet Family's territory. )
(The Goblin Ruler intended to kill all the invaders and seemed to have summoned a considerable number of subordinates, likely already reaching the front line. )
(The Bloodbane Serpent was an unpredictable variable; it seemed to want to kill me, but also the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders, and it seemed to be doing so for amusement... )
In terms of strength, the Goblin Ruler and his troops should be the strongest, followed by the Bloodbane Serpent.
The Cardinal and Obsidian Elders are in the worst state, only able to defend and without the capacity to counterattack...
(My goal is to create an opportunity to escape from the labyrinth exit.)
Tyler drew an analysis of the current situation on the muddy ground with a branch, and his mind suddenly became much clearer.
According to this development, the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders will definitely look for an opportunity to return to the entrance of the Scarlet Family's territory, which is also their last chance to escape.
The Bloodbane Serpent will definitely interfere to keep the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders, no, it should be said that this guy has been obstructing the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders' actions from the beginning.
As for the Goblin Ruler, he will definitely kill everyone without discrimination.
So, when they once again move from the Delis Town exit to the labyrinth exit of the Scarlet Family's territory, will I have a chance to slip away from the Delis Town exit...?
Reflecting on the Bloodbane Serpent's fighting style and tactics so far, Tyler felt that this hopeful idea was somewhat inappropriate.
According to the Bloodbane Serpent's performance so far, even if he leaves the Delis Town labyrinth exit with the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders, he will definitely leave "something" there.
It could be a powerful summon, like the Twinborn Iridium Python - Yami Abysson. It could also be a trap unknown to Tyler, or something else that could ambush him.
Tyler had just looked at the identification information of the Twinborn Iridium Python - Yami Abysson from a distance with a binocle, and its level was three digits, starting with two, clearly not something he could handle.
Therefore, Tyler believes that he cannot hold the mentality of "wait and see", but should take the initiative to do something, so that the Bloodbane Serpent cannot continue to carry out his actions unscrupulously.
So, what can Tyler do?
Tyler reviewed all his thoughts from just now to the present, and found that the answer was actually hidden in his own thoughts.
.
Before long, Tyler arrived near the Delis Town labyrinth exit.
Two hundred meters - this was the limit of how close he could safely approach.
Tyler had realized something earlier: although the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders didn't know him and couldn't help him, they could be considered as being on the same side to some extent.
As long as the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders didn't attack him, that was already a form of help to Tyler.
Moreover, helping the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders was essentially the same as helping himself.
The better their situation, the more effort the Bloodbane Serpent would have to spend on them, and the less attention it could pay to Tyler.
Additionally, Tyler would apply a simple principle: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
At this moment, all the pieces were in place, and it was up to Tyler to solve this endgame.
.
Near the labyrinth exit leading to Delis Town, the Goblin Ruler, Bloodbane Serpent, and the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders were locked in a fierce battle.
The Goblin cavalry and assassination squads had arrived, but the battlefield of these powerful beings made it difficult for them to step in. They could only continuously look for opportunities around the area to assist their king in attacking the invaders.
The once dense forest near the labyrinth exit had been reduced to scorched earth and various-sized pits. In the cracked ground, unextinguished flames still burned.
After a coordinated evasion, the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders exchanged glances. The cooldown time for their skills was almost up, and it was time to leave this place and head back towards the labyrinth exit leading to the Scarlet Family's territory.
However, at that moment, a black figure they had both seen before burst into the battlefield from their side.
Since both the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders had noticed that the black figure's master had helped Viviana, they didn't attack the black figure.
Then, they saw the black figure rush towards the Bloodbane Serpent.
Just when they thought the black figure would attack the Bloodbane Serpent, it leaped forward, blocking a hidden arrow shot by a Goblin assassin for the Bloodbane Serpent.
