How should we cross the sea in front of us?

A problem we must face in our escape, once again confronting Ronald and Nicole.

Constrained by the rules of the game, swimming across is impossible. But Ronald and Nicole are not birds; apart from wading through it, how can they pass through here?

Surely they won't have to make a raft from scratch under such circumstances, right?

Looking around, there's no suitable material here!

"..."

"Ronald, are you out of ideas?"

Just as Ronald was troubled by this, Nicole leaned over to inquire, sensing his mood, trying to lighten the atmosphere:

"It seems we need to cross this river now."

"That's the sea." Ronald first pointed out Nicole's mistake, then helplessly asked, "Nicole, do you have any ideas?"

The investigator girl replied without hesitation and confidently:

"No! Absolutely none!"

"..."

"I knew it..."

Originally, the escape route, albeit dangerous, was smooth all the way here for Ronald and Nicole.

But now.

The road ahead has disappeared.

They couldn't find a way to cross the sea in front of them, even pacing back and forth along the shore, only to discover in vain that the area is too vast to traverse. Short-term escape cannot rely on finding a detour.

Facing such problems, the feeling at this moment is quite despairing.

It seems Ronald and Nicole can only wait quietly for the pursuing creatures behind to catch up with them, ending this maze game...

[Cursed Guardian of the Maze!]

[How could these foolish questions challenge the wisdom endowed to us by our mother?]

[Look further away, those cursed thieves are blocked by the sea.]

[Children, chase down these two vile creatures!]

At that moment.

A voice from the void emerged.

Giving Ronald and Nicole an even more despairing message.

Though not knowing what method was used, it's undeniable that those pursuing creatures finally succeeded in passing Sphinx's test and continued their pursuit of Ronald and Nicole.

—This is definitely not good news.

Even though Ronald and Nicole had a lead of more than ten hours.

What blocks them is a sea of despair without a hint of hope to cross.

…

At this moment, Ronald and Nicole were truly out of options.

They tried their best to find a way forward along the sea, even attempted to gather materials to make a raft on the spot.

But all efforts were in vain.

The cold seawater and empty ice surface seemed to declare their fate.

…

Time passed slowly.

When Ronald inevitably began to lose hope, the sky was gradually approaching night.

At this time, the sunlight in the sky was gradually replaced by the darkness of night.

Everything suddenly became completely different from before.

As the night fell, dots of stars began placing themselves in the dark sky.

Meanwhile, translucent streams, as if drifting from high above, started floating into Ronald's view; he gazed into the distance and found these streams almost covering the entire southern sky.

—It's the aurora.

These scenes visible in high latitudes in reality now appeared in the world constructed by "Maze's Picture Book."

And the appearance of the aurora wasn't merely a change in scenery.

At this moment, they also brought hope to Ronald and Nicole.

In the cartoon world of "Maze's Picture Book," these auroras, which should be untouchable, condensed into crystalline entities in the air, some extending all the way to the ground and connecting to several exits of the Ice Maze.

No need to explain.

At this moment, the fact was simple.

To cross the sea spanning several kilometers in front, the only path was to tread the aurora corridor at night and traverse it before daylight!

"Nicole, let's move quickly!"

Seeing this, though shocked inside, Ronald quickly dragged Nicole into a run.

It took just over a minute.

They trod onto an aurora-formed corridor reaching the skies.

Facing such unimaginable strange experiences, the investigator girl couldn't help but marvel, her tone filled with girlish excitement:

"Ronald, I never thought I could walk on the aurora!"

"..."

From low to high, the two followed the aurora corridor and soon reached a high altitude.

The only downside is that this aurora corridor also inherited the essence of "Maze's Picture Book."

After the initial singular pathway leading to the sky, the aurora under their feet quickly intertwined with other beautiful light streams in the air. Additionally, due to the lack of constraints in the sky, these aurora corridors overlapped densely into multiple layers.

The air, empty and ready to drop them to the ground with one misstep, became the most natural maze wall.

Walking on such a never-before-seen maze, Ronald and Nicole felt it was utterly novel.

Moreover, in the high skies, their excellent vision allowed them to look back at the maze they had passed through.

Although not very clear...

It was evident that some white dots were advancing within the maze.

Those were the pursuing creatures.

Judging by their current speed, they might escape the maze within two hours.

…

We need to quicken our pace!

Having witnessed the progress of these pursuers, Ronald naturally quickened his steps.

Yet, half an hour later, cracking the maze encountered significant obstruction.

As the auroras interwove, some paths that seemed traversable suddenly became impassable due to light refraction.

Seemingly requiring only time to pass, the Aurora Maze actually demanded Ronald and Nicole to decipher its mysteries to move forward.

The maze's inherent obstacles, the pursuit by creatures from behind, and the time limit of auroras appearing only at night...

Various problems flooded before them, making Ronald's voice inevitably anxious when he sighed:

"What could be the method to decipher the maze..."

In this somewhat distressing situation, Nicole suddenly called out to Ronald:

"Ronald, look at this!"

Soon, something more interesting occurred.

Nicole's imagination was indeed rich.

Due to the aurora's inherent bending, Ronald had neglected to take that path. But Nicole, following the direction she pointed out, stepped onto a corridor with a bending angle reaching 180 degrees.

And with this path's bend.

The investigator girl proceeded normally, ultimately becoming inverted - head down, feet up - walking completely free from gravity on the aurora's underside!

Then glancing at Ronald behind.

Nicole wore a victorious smile:

"You see, Ronald, we have a path to take again."
