Chapter 276 - The Desert Labyrinth (5)
"Everyone, stay where you are. Don"t move!" Then Leng Ruoxue walked over.
"Xue"er, what happened?" Leng Qingtian asked worriedly.
"It"s okay. It"s just a hole. Hu Bin fell down." Leng Ruoxue squatted down and looked into the hole. But it was pitch-black inside, and she couldn"t see anything clearly.
"Grandpa, everyone, go back into the s.p.a.ce. I"ll go down and take a look." Leng Ruoxue sent everyone back into the bracelet.
"Hold on to me tightly." Leng Ruoxue nodded at Charm and Ball Ball before jumping down without hesitation.
Feng Zhan also followed closely behind and jumped down the hole.
Leng Ruoxue touched the two little beasts on her shoulders and called out softly in the pitch-black cave, "Charm, Ball Ball, Feng Zhan?"
"Master, I"m here." Feng Zhan lit a flame, and the entire cave instantly lit up.
"What is this place?" Leng Ruoxue looked around.
It was actually a house, and the whole house was as empty as the wilderness. There was not a single piece of furniture, and dust covered the walls. There was also a moldy smell in the house, as though no one had lived in it for a long time.
"Hu Bin!" Leng Ruoxue found the unconscious Hu Bin in a corner of the room. She hurriedly ran over, helped him up, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
"Miss, where is this?" Hu Bin, who just woke up, asked in bewilderment.
"I don"t know. I"ll send you back into the s.p.a.ce to rest first." Leng Ruoxue sent Hu Bin into the bracelet.
"Xue"er, let Grandpa out to accompany you," Leng Qingtian said in the s.p.a.ce. How could he be at ease with his precious granddaughter taking risks alone in this unknown place?
"Xue"er, Big Brother wants to come out too," Leng Ruohan echoed.
"Hehe, Little Girl! Let us out!" Old Man said.
"Alright then!" Leng Ruoxue knew that they wouldn"t be willing to stay in the s.p.a.ce peacefully. But those below Spiritual Supremacy should stay in there for the time being!
"Xue"er, this house is so strange." Leng Qingtian looked around the room after coming out.
"Yes, it"s a little strange," Leng Ruoxue agreed. She jumped down directly from the hole, but she didn"t notice any damage to the house, so where did she come from?
"Why are you thinking so much? There"s a door there. Let"s go out and take a look." Lin Liang pointed at a door.
"Then let"s go!" Leng Ruoxue said while looking at everyone present.
"Xue"er, hide behind Grandpa. Grandpa will take the lead." Leng Qingtian pulled his granddaughter behind him and walked out first.
Leng Ruoxue smiled helplessly and followed her grandfather out.
After everyone left the room, they heard a mechanical voice.
"Welcome to the Desert Labyrinth. You are the fifth batch of adventurers today. Good luck." Then the voice disappeared.
"What lousy thing is this? Why don"t you talk about the rules?" Old Zao couldn"t help cursing.
"b.u.t.terfly, why did that voice just say that we are the fifth batch today?" Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
"Girl, he means that four more groups of people entered before you," b.u.t.terfly explained patiently.
"I know. I mean, didn"t they encounter those venomous snakes and scorpions?" Leng Ruoxue asked depressedly.
"I don"t know. But there should be more than one entrance to this Desert Labyrinth," b.u.t.terfly said after some thought.
"What treasures are in this labyrinth?" Leng Ruoxue continued to ask. Hmph! It will be best if there"s something that can interest me here. Otherwise, I won"t mind demolis.h.i.+ng this place.
"Girl, I really don"t know," b.u.t.terfly said aggrievedly.
"Xue"er, which way should we go?" Leng Qingtian asked uncertainly as he looked at the path that split into two directions.
Leng Ruoxue looked up at the environment in front of her. The sky above the labyrinth was gray, and she couldn"t see anything clearly. There was a path under their feet at this moment, and they were standing in the middle of it. There was an exit on each side, but the one on the left was slightly closer to them, while the one on the right was relatively farther away.
"Girl, you have to think carefully!" b.u.t.terfly reminded.
Leng Ruoxue frowned as she pondered…
"To the right!" Leng Ruoxue said with certainty after a while. Hmph! She chose the nearest portal last time and ended up in the desert, so she chose the one farther away this time.
After deciding, Leng Ruoxue and the others walked toward the right exit…
They saw a door at the right exit. Everyone looked at each other. Leng Ruoxue pushed the door open, and everyone walked in.
After entering, everyone found that they were in a secret room. It was empty, but there were two teleportation arrays in the upper right corner, and they didn"t know where they teleported to.
"Welcome to the first stage of the labyrinth." The mechanical voice sounded in everyone"s ears again.
"What are we going to do in the first stage?" Old Zao couldn"t help asking. But the voice disappeared once more, and he was so angry he started cursing again.
"What is that sound?" Leng Ruoxue asked uncertainly. She seemed to have heard a rustling sound.
"Wind?" Feng Moran asked doubtfully. He heard it too.
Leng Qingtian listened carefully and then said with certainty, "Definitely not wind!"
"Everyone, stay alert!" Leng Qingtian reminded.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless black beetles emerged from the ground. Each beetle was the size of a millstone and entirely black. They had extremely hard carapaces and two antennas on their heads, and gray eyes the size of bronze bells were looking at them greedily.
"We"ve become food in the eyes of these bugs," Leng Ruoxue said with a tingling scalp. She hated things like snakes and bugs the most.
"Xue"er, it seems like we won"t be able to leave this place until we destroy these bugs," Leng Ruohan said in realization. He already understood the rules of the mystic realm, and he knew that they had to destroy or subdue the things here to leave every place they went.
