A Way Out

Seeing him about to walk away after he finished speaking, Ye Mu quietly said, “You said the way to come here changed, what do you mean?”

Lin Zhizhao was impatient, but still said, “From the moment you came in, the mechanism had already started. This underground place has more than three hundred tunnels. Ever since the door was opened, it has constantly changed!”

He paused, and with a cold smile said, “Don’t waste your energy. Even if you keep asking, you still won’t be able to go out.”

He swung his sleeve to leave.

“You said I can’t go out.”

Ye Mu faintly smiled. Behind the stone bars, she glanced at Lin Zhizhao. “Then you’re sure that once you enter this door, you’ll be able to get out?”

Lin Zhizhao’s back chilled from her words, but he didn’t look back as he went in the stone door. The stone door shifted and the block of wall became smooth. It was as if no door ever appeared there.

Ye Mu held out her hand, pinching the stone bars in front of her. Exerting strength on her fingers, her hand became covered with stone powder.

She retreated a few steps, and then rushed forward with a powerful kick!

Suddenly, the stone bars in front of her crumbled. She patted the dust on her body and walked toward the place where Lin Zhizhao entered.

She tried to push a couple of times, but was fruitless, so she drew on her internal energy. The door was forcefully pushed with some effort, but she only heard buzzing sounds. After pushing the door open while being oblivious about the mechanism, she discovered behind the stone door was a path, but it was a dead end!

Could it be after Lin Zhizhao entered this place, the path behind this door changed?

Ye Mu recalled the enormous map of maze she saw earlier on the wall and continued walking deeper.

She had a speculation, and after seeing these bizarre mechanisms, it became true.

Perhaps this was another passageway for the treasure’s entry. It’s just that this passageway was very dangerous for people who didn’t know the mechanism. But its built was so complex, it was impossible that there was nothing behind it. There must be a principle to its operation.

Ye Mu raised her head. She took note that she had continuously walked downward. According to where she first came in, it was near the summit of the mountain. Then how did she end up halfway up the mountain?

And just as Lin Zhizhao said, the forks in front of her multiplied. The over three hundred tunnels was the same as what she saw on the map on the wall!

Thinking this, she sped up her pace at once, turning left and right like a ghost!

Because of her great internal energy, her memory was also good. At this moment the map was stored in her mind, and she ran purposefully toward an intersection. Then, with one hand striking down, one of the four intersections was blown down by her, covered with debris.

Then she kept moving, again sweeping past like a ghost. She believed she moved much faster than Lin Zhizhao, if he was in front of her.

When she arrived at a three-intersection, before she could get to work, she saw a boulder suddenly blocking one of the intersections slowly. She raised her eyebrows. No wonder Lin Zhizhao said after she came in, the moment the mechanism was touched these tunnels would change. So it was true.

More than three hundred paths, if it suddenly blocked here and there, then the people who came in would definitely not be able to go out forever. After all, with this kind of pattern, other people would find it difficult to understand.

But Ye Mu was not worried.

Seeing one of these intersections was already sealed, she looked at the remaining left and right paths. She assessed the location of the map in her mind, then she extended her hand and destroyed one of them!

Looking at those stones crumbling down from her palm force and sealing the way, Ye Mu faintly smiled. It didn’t matter how much Lin Zhizhao had lied, because there were some things that he couldn’t lie about, and that is, he really couldn’t do martial arts.

Lin Zhizhao was originally full of confidence. After leading Ye Mu down, he calculated the time of the changes in the underground and escaped at the appropriate time.

He had already walked this path once, so he couldn’t be wrong. He remembered it very well!

But after turning a corner, he suddenly stopped, his face ghastly pale as his eyes fixated on the collapse before him. No way, this was originally a path!

He panicked. Thinking that he might not be able to get out himself, his eyes turned red.

Calm down, calm down. There was still one more path. He could go there to go out.

So he turned back and wandered around again. On the ground, there was a very thin scratch. It was the mark he left when he was small. He couldn’t be wrong following it!

Finally, he recomposed himself. After walking for half a shichen, he was suddenly stupefied! Because the path in front of him was similarly collapsed.

With his strength, he definitely couldn’t move those rubbles away. Or it could be said, with the time he’d use from moving away the rubbles, the underground tunnels would already change to an appearance he wasn’t familiar with.

Who did this, who?!

His forehead was full of sweat, but he remembered the words Ye Mu said earlier behind the bars: “You’re sure you’ll be able to get out?”

She said it so leisurely. It’s definitely her!

So the distant rumbles he heard before was Ye Mu destroying the underground?! How is her speed so fast, how did she run past him? Wouldn’t an average person in this situation be anxious and slowly find a way out carefully? Why is she fearless and even dares to do this?!

After realizing the situation, Lin Zhizhao gnashed his teeth in hatred. But he also knew he didn’t have much time left himself, this underground place would change every one shichen. If he couldn’t go out within the remaining half a shichen, then this underground maze would become unfamiliar to him.

He staggered and continued to walk, but this time, there was no guide, there was no propriety. The hand that held the luminous pearl was trembling. The entire underground resounded with his own footsteps, and occasionally rumbles of explosion could be heard somewhere. He knew that it was definitely Ye Mu carrying out the obliteration.

After he had repeatedly walked to the same place three times, he knew he had gotten lost. Now, his back was wet with cold sweat. The path was under his feet, but he had no strength to take another step forward.

And at this moment, he heard the shaking sound again. He couldn’t help walking over to the sound, even though he knew it was a trap. But being in a confined space and panicked state, he wasn’t thinking straight anymore. He only wished for a companion, even if it was his personal enemy!

But he didn’t expect the rumbling sound this time wasn’t Ye Mu, and instead was a rolling stone!

The realization dawned on him too late. He fled downward aimlessly and in confusion, away from the rolling stone. But the more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made. Suddenly! He fell down!

He raised his head in panic, and instantly saw a gigantic stone rolling over toward his direction. Whether the speed was fast or slow, at this moment, he no longer had any strength to get up!

The luminous pearl in his hands rolled toward a corner, but at this moment, the rolling stone was already in front of him!
