It's worth mentioning that while the maze is bright during the daytime, there's no visible sun, let alone sunlight angles. Looking upward from the bottom of the maze, what you see is the same kind of dim blockage as the maze's starting point.
"Are there no mutated animals or insects in this maze apart from plants?" Xu Huo asked.
"No animals, but there are insects." The female player slid the video's progress bar and located a black vine. "This stinking vine attracts a small insect called Blackwing. Blackwing bugs lay their eggs on the seeds of the vine. As long as the vine successfully sprouts, the insects rapidly reproduce into hundreds or thousands. They'll stay attached to the same vine throughout their lives, moving on to find another host when the vine dies. If no suitable host is nearby, they'll gradually perish."
