Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 160
Eight(4)
[ Day 3 ]
From the third day, the insane waves and the attack team’s crystal strategy are breathlessly cross-edited.
A sequence that makes the viewers’ hands and feet tremble as they watch.
─Lee Jong-soo : Uaaaaaaah!!
─Kim Dong-ha : Uaaaaaaaah!!
Then, Lee Jong-soo and Kim Dong-ha appear as if to lighten the serious atmosphere.
The two are being chased by a horde of demonic beasts on the mountain ridge.
-hahahaha
-These guys in every scene lol
-Comedy crossover
-Ah that’s so funny lololol
The horde of demonic beasts surges like a wave. They actually look like they’re flowing like rapids, but they’re incredibly fast.
As if all the creatures’ nerves are connected to each other, they track the two men from all directions.
─Kim Dong-ha : Run! Jong-su! What are you doing!
Lee Jong-soo slows down at some point.
Did he judge that they couldn’t escape together?
─Lee Jong-soo : Dong-ha. I’ll sacrifice myself.
Kim Dong-ha looks at Jong-su with surprised eyes.
─Kim Dong-ha : No. Jong-su, we—
─Lee Jong-soo : Shh. Don’t say anything more.
A solemn face filled with determination. Lee Jong-soo pushes Kim Dong-ha’s back.
─Lee Jong-soo : Dong-ha. I trust you. Do my part too.
─Kim Dong-ha : …Alright.
Kim Dong-ha, with tears welling up, embraces Lee Jong-soo passionately before running ahead with the mercenaries.
Meanwhile, Lee Jong-soo stands as if to face the demonic beasts.
─Lee Jong-soo : Come at me!
Then he charges forward, swinging his great sword.
After that, a close-up of Kim Dong-ha.
─Kim Dong-ha : …Jong-su. I won’t forget.
Drop by drop. A single tear like an orb flows down.
-Are you two filming a drama or something lololol
-Hahahaha
-Still, Jong-su is brave
-ㅠㅠ Goodbye Jongsu
-Jong-su is a bit lacking but he’s a good friend.
The friendship of muscle warriors… Soon the perspective shifts.
[ Base : Jo Woon ]
Jo Ja-ryong, the pride of the continent, is deeply troubled and worried. He walks around inside the base, checking the number of civilians.
─Jo Woon : …The food supplies.
His whole body is covered in wounds, and his beard is scruffy from not sleeping for a long time. He really looks like Jo Ja-ryong from that era.
-Wow.. This guy is really cool
-If he was born in the Three Kingdoms period, he would’ve been a general
-ㅋㅋ I heard that like 300 million people in China watch Untamed.
-300 million? Is that a fact?
Neigh neigh neigh!
Just then, a mercenary who had gone out scouting returned with his horse.
─Mercenary : General. The base up there seems to have capacity to accommodate civilians.
─Jo Woon : That’s fortunate. We’ll hold out here as long as possible, but please secure an escape route.
An escape route to evacuate the civilians, not himself.
Jo Woon is preparing for that final moment.
-Whoa this looks like an elimination flag
-Is Jo Woon going to be eliminated?
-No way, it’s a siege battle;; Maybe if it were Guan Yu.
Suddenly, there’s a scene of Jo Woon silently gazing into the deep mountains.
Cross-editing.
Rustle rustle.
Light footsteps treading the mountain path.
─Hyeon Dan : Hoit-cha hoit-cha.
Herbalist Hyeon Dan flies up like a butterfly.
-She’s so cute hahahaha
-He won’t really die, right?
-Labyrinth person immersion nah just see labyrinth people as they are
─Hyeon Dan : Medicinal herbs… Huh?
Hyeon Dan, who was picking herbs and putting them in her basket, discovers someone.
A warrior stuck to the ground like a corpse.
It’s Lee Jong-soo.
-Lee Jong-soo lmfaooo
-He ran all the way from there to the east?
-His survival instincts are no joke either
[ Base : Seol Ha-woon ]
At Seol Ha-woon’s base, Lee Jong-soo wakes up with bandages wrapped around his head.
─Lee Jong-soo : Huh? What… what is this…
─Im Hae-jun : Hyung, you’re awake?
─Lee Jong-soo : Oh, yeah. Hi Hae-jun. Where, where is this place?
─Im Hae-jun : Where else. It’s Seol Ha-woon’s base.
─Lee Jong-soo : …Huh?
Lee Jong-soo is dazed. Because the base is so clean. Even the food condition is incredibly good.
─Seol Ha-woon : One more person increased.
Just then, the owner of the base appears.
─Seol Ha-woon : What are you doing. Hurry up and eat, then get to work.
While saying this, he waves his walking stick at Lee Jong-soo.
-lol the way he waves that is lowkey adorable
-lololol it’s basically his arm
-lol if you go on Line 1 there are quite a few elderly people like that
─Lee Jong-soo : …Yes.
Lee Jong-soo nods his head like a gentle sheep.
Lee Jong-soo joins Seol Ha-woon’s base.
He’s taken one step away from the spoiler.
[ DAY 4 ]
From the fourth day, various events unfold rapidly. A continuous sequence of defense and offense that you can’t take your eyes off.
For offense, Kang Hyeon’s party and solo Lee Jun-ho have huge screen time. Both are moving really busily.
─Kim Woo-hyeon : …I think this is as far as we go. Mercenaries, thank you for your hard work.
Kim Woo-hyeon senses defeat. Fortunately, there are no civilians to escort. Thanks to sending Kate up to the upper base in advance following Lee Jun-ho’s advice.
─Kim Woo-hyeon : I’ll join the upper base too.
─Lee Jun-ho : I’ll help you finish up. Let’s go.
─Kim Woo-hyeon : Yes, hyung.
Kim Woo-hyeon’s retreat is calm. Even though he’s the youngest, he’s so mature.
Boom— Boom— Boom—!
Along with the relentless drumbeats, the 5th wave begins.
[ Base : Seol Ha-woon ]
The defense of Seol Ha-woon’s base is… perfect. Especially the ballista is the bread and butter.
Load wooden arrows and sweep like a machine gun, and the monsters get mowed down.
-lol the ballista is so reliable
-That’s the real deal, not Kate’s hamburger bullshit
-The artisan burger shop went out of business lol
Seol Village defends the 5th wave without much difficulty. Flying mobs appear frequently, but they all get shot down by Seol Ha-woon’s guided arrows and can’t do anything.
-He’s just a god of defense?
-How would you break through if he does siege warfare lol
-Jemal-ol was fucking advantageous in compatibility from the start lol I mean modern weapons with Mental Visualization in a Defense Labyrinth, holy shit lol
-You idiots keep believing that. I believe the spoiler
-Keep believing spoilers even on your deathbed then
─Seol Ha-woon : I will replenish the weapons.
After the battle ends. Seol Ha-woon gathers ten orbs, five each, and places them at two points.
When he infuses Mental Visualization, they materialize into ballistae.
─Seol Ha-woon : There. I’ve imported two more ballistae.
Seol Ha-woon proudly raises his walking stick.
─Seol Village Soldier : Waaaah!
The soldiers cheer. Even though it’s nothing special, he knows how to boost morale.
They’re all cute.
─Seol Ha-woon : I will deploy four more ballista operators.
The Seol Village soldiers get very tense. Being a ballista operator is practically a promotion, isn’t it.
One person aims and fires the ballista as the gunner, another assists the gunner and loads wooden arrows as the assistant gunner.
─Seol Ha-woon : The gunners will be Jin-kyung and So-rim. The assistant gunners will be Yoon Jun and Cheon-seok. These four people.
─Seol Village Soldier : Loyalty!
-Wow he even remembers their names.
-There’s a reason the base runs well.
-Jemal-ol has the details alive. Under a superior like that, you’d give your life.
-Stop being so dramatic
The four selected as ballista operators first take cloth and carefully wipe down the ballista like they’re tending to a sacred shrine. Like someone who just bought a new car
-So reliable~
-Ballista so reliable~
-Reliable~ reliable~
-Ugh, reliable addicts get lost
-Reliable~
-More reliable than hamburgers~
[ Day 5 ]
The fifth day. The attack team’s battle unfolds.
Magical beasts fly around everywhere, but Im Hae-jun dodges like a mollusk while firing arrows first.
Swoosh!
The moment he breaks the crystal, the magical beasts lose their strength and collapse.
-Im Hae-jun’s combat power is actually pretty strong
-It’s not a level to ignore.
-I heard Taebaek Sect already made him an offer.
-Taebaek Sect;; His life’s set then
─Kim Yong-tae : With this, the ‘swords behind our backs’ are cleared up.
[ Remaining crystals : 22 ]
─Im Hae-jun : 22… That’s a lot left. We only have four allied crystals… Huh? One just went out. Jong-su hyung!
─Lee Jong-soo : Huh?
Lee Jong-soo has naturally joined them and is munching on snacks.
─Im Hae-jun : Jong-su hyung. Do you know where this is? The light just went out.
─Lee Jong-soo : Ah. That’s… Yoon Hwa-rim and Seo Ji-woo’s area.
[ Base : Yoon Hwa-rim ]
Kwarrrrrrr──-
It’s a desperate battle scene. Countless magical beasts surge forward, but the base no longer has the strength to hold out.
Roars and battle cries, all defenders squeeze out their remaining strength to fight against the magical beasts in a 3-minute battle…
Kuguuuuung!
Yoon Hwa-rim’s castle wall collapses.
─Seo Ji-woo : Hwa-rim! We have to go now! Hey Yoon Hwa-rim!
Seo Ji-woo grabs Yoon Hwa-rim, who’s staring blankly at the base.
─Seo Ji-woo : We have to go! Hurry!
─Yoon Hwa-rim : What about these people?
Yoon Hwa-rim seems worried about the civilians, and just as Seo Ji-woo bites her lip hard.
─Brunson : Master Yoon. We’ll handle this.
The mercenaries step forward.
─Brunson : We’ll try to delay them as long as possible. Please move to another base with the civilians.
Meaning they’re volunteering to sacrifice themselves.
Yoon Hwa-rim stares at them blankly.
Sad soundtrack plays.
─Brunson : Don’t worry. We can use the return device.
─Yoon Hwa-rim : Ah…
Yoon Hwa-rim lowers her head and trembles all over.
Even Lee Si-ah teared up a little at this moment.
─Brunson : Master Yoon. Raise your head and protect the civilians.
─Yoon Hwa-rim : …Mr. Brunson. I won’t forget.
─Brunson : Yes. Please go quickly. There’s no time left.
-Sigh.. don’t build up the story for no reason, it’s making me sad
-She’s definitely coming back since she takes care of her people
-There’s a damn fandom that keeps terrorizing a kid like this?
-Is Yoon Hwa-rim going to make top ten this time?
Yoon Hwa-rim shouts to the civilians.
─Yoon Hwa-rim : Everyone, follow me!
And when she rolls the orb, it transforms into a cart.
-It’s a cart?
-Oh shit lol that’s from the cargo dungeon lol
-Hey she’s pretty smart too lol
-lololol seeing this angle here
Lee Si-ah also nods enthusiastically.
As she always feels, you build your own story.
Everyone. Get on!
Oh thank you Royal Inspector…
Royal Inspector. You could have left us behind…
What nonsense! I’ll take you even if I die!
Just before departing, Yoon Hwa-rim shouts to the mercenaries.
─Yoon Hwa-rim : Stay strong! Don’t you dare die! That’s my final order─!
They make an O with their fingers, and Yoon Hwa-rim drives the cart.
The sight of mercenaries using all their remaining strength to hold back the demonic beasts, and finally, Yoon Hwa-rim’s tears.
-Ah damn
-Sea of tears ㅠㅠ
-Sigh…
-ㅠㅠㅠ
-Hwa-rim is growing too
[ DAY 6 ]
[ DAY 7 ]
[ DAY 8 ]
From DAY 6 to DAY 8, 20 minutes of riveting action continues.
In just three days, six waves crashed in, and after brutal battles even from the viewer’s perspective.
[ Base : Kate ]
The situation at Kate’s stronghold is also bad. It’s gradually crumbling.
The problem is, as expected, food supplies.
The butlers’ hearts must be breaking.
─Min Seok-jae : They’re coming again. The civilians.
Kate silently stands on the castle wall and looks down below.
─Min Seok-jae : What are you going to do? Young lady.
Min Seok-jae crosses his arms. Suddenly he seems like an adult again.
-This is the difference between Jemallot and Kate. Jemallot has plans A, B, C, D, but Kate only has up to A, B.
-What nonsense about plans. It got this bad because those crazy bastards sent all the civilians up.
-Why send them up instead of just dying there with the civilians
-Are those guys above crazy;;;
-They’re Labyrinth People anyway so what does it matter? No immersion in Labyrinth People please
-Not immersing is one thing, but why are there so many trashy people?
The butlers seem too excited these days saying Kate is 2nd place. They should restrain themselves moderately or karma will come back later.
─Kate : I’ll decide.
─Min Seok-jae : You’re doing this because you can’t make proper decisions. That’s why you’re a young lady. Just swinging a spear doesn’t make you an adult.
At Min Seok-jae’s words, Kate lets out a shallow breath. She too recognizes that this is a difficult situation.
─Min Seok-jae : You need to know how to give up to become an adult. How far you can give up, how far you can suffer. And how far you can let go…
Min Seok-jae quietly turns around, and the chat window burns up.
-Even if she’s elite, she wouldn’t have had this kind of experience
-That bastard Min Seok-jae, if that XX had helped properly from the beginning, it wouldn’t have gotten this bad
-That XXXX doing XXXX and now coming to XXXX is XXXX
-XXX bastard, someone like you XXX shouldn’t be saying that XXXX
-You tell me not to get too immersed in the maze but damn you’re so immersed yourself lol
Ah these people are funny when they have fits.
Kieeeeeek——!
The cry of demonic beasts. Another wave begins. It really has no end.
Boom— Boom—
The drums sound. Kate sighs and summons her long spear, then the screen switches.
Kwaaaaang——!
A house-sized demonic beast rams its body into the castle wall.
[ Base : Jo Woon ]
This is Jo Woon’s base.
Though he has no uninjured places left, he looks back and smiles brightly.
─Jo Woon : Lee Kyung. Please take care of the civilians.
─Lee Kyung : General…
Jo Woon’s mercenaries have already been moved by him.
Opposite to Yoon Hwa-rim, but equally an emotional situation.
─Jo Woon : Survive with the civilians. Without fail. This is my final order.
At Jo Woon’s words, the mercenaries hold back tears and salute.
─Mercenaries : Loyalty!
They leave together with the civilians. This time too, probably to Kate’s stronghold.
But there are too many civilians, so he’ll need to buy quite a bit of time.
-Damn stop coming!!!
-What is this, a community center
-Ah just shut up and watch, you slave bastards
-If you’re going to shut up, why use SilTalk?
Kwaaaaang!
The demonic beast pounds the castle wall, and wind quietly rushes in.
─Jo Woon : Haah…
A man standing alone in isolation, gripping his spear.
Jo Ja-ryong.
Magic power dwells in his weapon. His entire body is dyed blue.
Urgent and majestic sounds boom and spread throughout.
-Whoa it’s coming out lol
-What’s that breathing of Sangsan?
-Sangsan Descent yeah
-He’s also a warrior with mage-like aspects, so like Mental Visualization, he possesses Jo Ja-ryong into himself.
Sangsan Descent .
A very rare incarnation talent that embodies historical figures’ records through self-enhancement type formulas.
─Jo Woon: I will… protect them.
That line from the preview.
Kwaaaaaa─!
A Super Saiyan-like blue aura explodes from Jo Woon’s body, the castle wall crumbles, and countless hordes of magical beasts surge forward.
Jo Woon doesn’t retreat. His spear’s trajectory sweeps the front, as if slicing through the sky.
Swoooooosh─!
The Guardian’s stance. He alone blocks the tremendous army.
At first he fought so well that we thought huh? Wait? Could it be?
But as expected, numbers are too much to overcome.
-That was epic though;;
-Whoa Jo Ja-ryong gets eliminated?
-Damn.. this is sad.
-Yo guys check Chinese SNS reactions lol they’re going crazy
The elimination of Jo Ja-ryong, a strong survival candidate, is right before our eyes.
He endures alone until the very end, endures, and endures again, then finally falls.
However, this much is enough.
Thanks to Jo Woon, the mercenaries and civilians saved their lives.
As if sensing his own victory, he smiles with satisfaction while buried among the magical beasts.
─Jo Woon: From some point on… I think I’ve been dreaming of this kind of end.
Before long, appearing before his eyes.
[Forced Return: Jo Woon]
The elimination message.
Lee Si-ah unconsciously bit her lip.
Why is this Labyrinth so sad.
* * *
“Ah… really… no, Jo Ja-ryong…”
“Haah… tsk…”
Mainland China, a restaurant near Beijing Airport.
Gathered in front of the TV that the restaurant owner turned on, customers are watching Mitamnan. They’re not even eating, all drowning in tears.
“Waaahhh!”
A father holds his crying child. Though the father himself is also streaming tears.
“…Ah, I can’t watch this.”
Hao Xian, the chief disciple of Mount Hua Sect, also stood up from his seat. His eyes had reddened at some point as he smacked his lips and turned on his smartphone.
[Jo Ja-ryong didn’t lose. He protected them.]
[♥ : 10,372,102] [■ 853,102]
A famous Chinese ranker’s SNS.
Wailing sounds are coming from all over SNS.
He looked at the trending topics.
[１. Jo Woon’s Last Stand 30.51M]
[２. Sangsan Descent 25.51M]
[３. The Continent’s Pride Jo Ja-ryong 19.31M]
[４. Jo Woon Who Showed Sangsan’s Spirit 18.61M]
[５. Namgung Family, Recruitment Proposal for Kang Hyeon? 17.31M]
[６. Ranker Xiao Xun’s Labyrinth Exploration NaN Review Broadcast 16.31M]
[７. Why Seol Ha-woon’s Base is Perfect 16.01M]
[８. When Will Seol Ha-woon Join Weibo 15.71M]
“Haah…”
Looking at it just keeps making him sigh.
“I knew something was off about that preview.”
Ring ring ring-
Just then, a call came.
“Yes. Elder.”
─Are you ready?
Through the speaker asking that question, the sound of Mitamnan broadcast can be heard.
This old man is watching Mitamnan too, it seems.
“Yes. I bought the plane ticket. I’m going to Korea. We need to catch the sword prodigy’s killer.”
Mount Hua Sect’s sword prodigy Kim Yoon-jun.
He doesn’t know who it was, but they dared to touch Mount Hua. They shouldn’t think they can rest easy.
“But. When I go, can I vote too?”
Hao Xian was quite serious about this trip to Korea.
“What? No, why wouldn’t I be able to? Please pull some strings for me. I should at least cast one vote. Give me diplomatic privileges or something… No, I know our country originally can’t vote there. That’s why I should try. Ah what, am I a social critic?”
Then someone came running barefoot.
“Me too vote. Me too vote.”
“…You get lost. You’re going to vote for Seol Ha-woon anyway.”
Mei Lan. Mount Hua Sect’s archer.
She frowned.
“Ridiculous. You think all Chinese people only like Jo Woon?”
“Whatever. Did you pack everything?”
“Yeah.”
The keychain attached to the suitcase jingles. It’s Seol Ha-woon.
“Let’s go.”
Walking down the street, people are crowded in front of TVs.
All watching Mitamnan.
Some rent out entire bars for group viewing, others just gather together on the main street to watch, but right now everyone is crying.
Because of Jo Woon.
They kept talking about the Korean Wave, and the claim that mainland China has 300 million viewers really seems like nonsense.
It looks like 500 million are watching.
“…The entire continent is Mitamnan, it’s all Mitamnan.”
“It’s not just us doing this. I heard papers analyzing Seol Ha-woon’s formulas have been published at universities too.”
“Ugh, that damn Seol Ha-woon. Seol Ha-woon. Just because you do that doesn’t mean Seol Ha-woon will notice you.”
“We’re going to meet him.”
“We might meet during the investigation process. We’re not going to meet him.”
“My purpose was for learning from the beginning, okay? I’m analyzing Seol Ha-woon’s talent.”
“My purpose was to catch Kim Yoon-jun’s killer from the beginning, okay?”
Anyway, the two get in the car, and Hao Xian takes the wheel.
Mei Lan turned on Mitamnan on her smartphone.
“Turn that up.”
“It’s still the mid-show commercial.”
“Still.”
While watching the live broadcast of Mitamnan, they arrive at the airport.
As soon as they enter, they hear sobbing and crying sounds.
Sure enough, Mitamnan was playing on the TV in the airport lobby too.
“What, is it the day the continent falls? Why is everyone acting like that.”
“…The one saying that also has quite a few tears right now, you know?”
Hao Xian blew his nose while wiping his reddened eyes.
