By now he knew, adhering to the rules of space was the only reasonable way to pass.

Though the information he received from Enlightenment was limited, it was already evident.

The keyword was: puzzle-solving.

The labyrinth had claimed 300,000 laborers- suggesting there were 300,000 skeleton monsters.

For a Curse Card Master, these low-order skeleton monsters are indeed easy to defeat, one by one.

But in this Grand Cemetery Labyrinth, there are 300,000 skeleton monsters, could you land 300,000 punches?

Besides, there’s the mysterious Secret Keeper who can supposedly kill a frost knight in one hit.

Leonard Churchill didn’t believe that killing monsters was the correct way to proceed.

So, right now he needed to figure some things out.

Like the monsters’ aggression mechanisms.

Leonard’s gaze remained observantly focused on the various body details of the skeleton monsters.

Standing at a crossroads allowed retreat if his judgment was wrong.

Being equipped and ready to go forward or back.

Leonard naturally didn’t have anything to panic about.

However, Bald Cliff, who was being held at gunpoint, was already terrified, fear turning his face as pale as paper.

He could not understand, the monster is already here, why isn’t that guy running?

In just a moment, the skeleton monster had already rushed within ten meters, the scraping sound of bones causing one’s hairs to stand up.

Bald Cliff finally could not withstand the fear of death creeping in.

He was going to die anyway!

Better to run than wait for death!

With a cry, he ignored the gun pointed at him and turned to crazily run towards another passageway.

Immediately, a large number of skeleton monsters pursued relentlessly.

As the skeleton monsters rushed up like a tidal wave, Leonard did not move an inch.

He didn’t fire a single shot, didn’t attempt to escape, he lowered his breathing as much as possible, hiding in the pitch-black corner.

Because a bizarre scene was unfolding.

The skeleton monsters seemed blind to the living human right before them in the passageway and chased after the fleeing Bald Cliff.

Watching countless skeleton frames running right before him, Leonard’s eyes shone brilliantly: “So that’s it.”

At this moment, he finally came to an accurate conclusion: The skeleton monsters targeted based on the fluctuations in reasoning values, or as one could term it from the previous world, San value!

When Leonard previously heard Dexter’s group talk about the labyrinth’s skeleton monsters on the car, he had a question: lacking flesh and organs, just how did the skeletons detect and lock onto their targets?

Typically, living beings rely on various senses to detect their targets, such as smell, temperature, sight, sound…

But skeletons lack any organs.

Even a brain is lacking.

This is a magical fantasy world, but that does not mean there is a lack of basic logic.

Since skeletons can detect living humans, there must be certain objective factors at play.

When he was alone before, it was impossible, but unexpectedly, Dexter’s group appeared.

He had reasonable luck and met the conditions for verification.

There were two corpses on the ground, their flesh and blood still fresh.

They had temperature, they had smell.

But the skeleton monsters showed absolutely no interest.

This directly proved that flesh and blood, smell, temperature were not the factors attracting the skeleton’s aggression.

The scope was thus narrowed.

And the reason Leonard left a living mouth earlier was to exclude the final few possibilities.

At the very beginning when the three intruders broke in, Leonard had carefully observed the reactions of the skeleton monsters and found anomalies.

The instant the skeleton monsters appeared from the corner of the corridor, almost all the skeleton’s heads detected the targets, the skulls making a twist to ‘look’ at them.

This does not mean that their hollow eye sockets really saw something, it is most likely the instinct leftover from their past lives.

But from this, the targets of the monster’s aggression can be determined. Clearly, their attention was on Dexter’s group, totally neglecting Leonard.

Only a few taller, elite skeletons noticed, looking in his direction. But as soon as he put on the clown mask and suppressed his emotional fluctuation, the monsters instantly lost their target.

Leonard thus could exclude two of the skeleton’s sensory pathways: the soul and breathing.

Not many factors were left.

Being two living humans, the greatest difference lay in that one was full of fear, while Leonard controlled his fear.

The facts were before them, the skeletons were all chasing the terrified Bald Cliff.

Therefore, the final conclusion was drawn: fear leads to a drop in San value, which is the most important thing attracting skeleton monsters!

Reflecting on his initial lone journey in the corridor, the dried bones had not awoken, back then Leonard didn’t understand why.

Alas, since entering the labyrinth, his San value fluctuation was very small, it just hadn’t reached the threshold to trigger the monsters’ aggression. The environment of the labyrinth was constantly full of dark implications, ostensibly to affect the San value of those who intrude.

But this had little effect on Leonard, who had already noticed the anomalies. Once this was understood.

The danger in the labyrinth was reduced by more than half.

This was the true difficulty of the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth, rated as a D-level space.

Leonard saw hope of breaking this game.

Of course, this didn’t include that unseen “Secret Keeper..”
