The maze is starting to become more difficult.

I started to feel more and more confused.

There are baits and fights in this maze, and now it's starting to become pressurized, like a poison pond.

And now it seems that there are many people taking advantage of the opportunity in the maze. Although the maze looks big, other people are not like us who want to avoid other trialists, like the ones who used flags to attract ghosts just now.

It should only take a few days to go out.

But they seemed to have forgotten the purpose of getting out of the maze in the first place and fell into it.

As I continued walking towards the center of the maze with Song Wei, I felt something strange.

"Brother Xu, there's something wrong with the surrounding situation. Are you sure we want to keep going forward?" Song Wei started to pull me beside me halfway through, with panic in his tone.

Of course I knew where his panic came from.

Ever since we carved that mark on the wall, the scene around us has begun to become distorted and strange.

The maze seemed to be aware of our desire to go to the center. Everywhere we passed, there were ghosts that were completely different from the monsters we had seen before.

Of course I also felt a chill in my back.

I felt that the touch of the road under my feet had gradually become abnormal, soft, and smelly, and there seemed to be some liquid exploding with every step I took.

But I didn't stop. The more difficult the road to the center was, the less the organizers wanted us to go to the center.

There must be something there.

Not daring to stop along the way, I used the cinnabar I found earlier as a mark as I ran. After walking around for a long time, a glimmer of light finally appeared in front of my eyes.

My eyes lit up.

That was a door. Although I couldn't see clearly what was on the other side, there was a voice in my heart that seemed to be calling me to run towards it.

I was so happy that I kept running towards it.

My fingers were about to touch the door.

"ah!"

There was a scream behind me.

It was Song Wei's voice. I was surprised and turned my head subconsciously.

The next second, a handful of cold water was poured on my face.

I was stunned for a moment, and my brain didn't realize what happened.

The Song Wei in front of me was holding an empty bottle in his hand, and I knew very well that this was a potion that could wake people up from illusions. I had not finished drinking the previous bottle, and I still disliked him for being stingy when he stayed.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a long scratch mark on his leg, and you can almost see the bone.

"Brother Xu, you don't want to die!" He said with a cry in his throat when he saw my eyes clear again.

Suddenly, I realized that the surrounding environment was completely different from what I imagined. There was some kind of door in front of me, it was a cliff!

If you take one more step forward, you will fall into an abyss that you cannot see the bottom of.

I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat. I quickly walked back a few steps and returned to Song Wei.

The surroundings are not the scenes full of monsters that I saw in the previous continuation. There is only black fog here.

Since then, I have felt a little pain every time I took a breath. I felt like something was pricking my chest.

"Ahem."

After coughing, I felt a fishy-sweet taste in my throat, and subconsciously covered my mouth with my hands. After coughing violently, I lowered my head and took a closer look.

Blood! Black blood.

I was obsessed with this thing just now. No wonder I had nothing on my mind along the way and just wanted to get to the center quickly.

After coughing, I felt a lot more relaxed all over. I glanced at the injury on Song Wei's leg and frowned: "You were injured on the road. Let's leave this place first."

Song Wei nodded and took out a luminous pearl that was only the size of a fingernail.

The light from the night pearl illuminated the surroundings. This magic weapon had never been taken out before. Moreover, it looked familiar. But I didn't ask any more questions, and just helped him walk out of the black mist.

Fortunately, even if you are in an illusion, cinnabar is still working all the way.

I followed the blood-red cinnabar line all the way out of the black fog.

Only then did I realize that this was a road I had never walked before, and that wherever there was any stench or soft ground, it was just that I was in an illusion.

Song Wei was exhausted at this time. I was dragged by him and staggered to the ground.

I sat on the ground, gasping for air.

Only then did I see clearly the true appearance of the center of the maze.

Shrouded in black mist, if you look closely, you can see that there are countless densely packed tentacles extending outwards.

The smoke seems to be alive.

Song Wei on the side was already a little unconscious due to blood loss along the way, and he was mumbling something.

I found a bottle of mineral water from the bag he carried with him and cleaned his wound. I found that the area around his wound looked very clean and neat, with no corpse poison. This should have been done by a decisive and skilled person.

.

There was no pain relief, and his lips turned white after disinfection.

I sighed and said, "Why bother? How are you going to get out after you get so seriously injured just to save me?"

He was speechless and could only move his fingers to signal me to take out the things in his hand.

I quickly stepped forward and took out the small glowing beads in his hand.

Like, so similar.

No matter how you look at it, this thing is similar to the Night Pearl I got from the Ghost Temple. The delicate touch, cold temperature, and the light after encountering Yin Qi are all exactly the same.

This means it should work the same as my Night Pearl.

I took out the luminous pearl, its light was very strong, and I brought it close to Song Wei's wound.

Visibly to the naked eye, his wounds began to heal, and Song Wei's expression gradually softened.

After resting for about ten minutes, his wound had healed to the point where not even a scar was left.

This is much more powerful than my Night Pearl.

After he could speak, his first words were: "Brother Xu... don't go to the exit of the center!"

Seeing that something was wrong with his expression, I asked, "Do you know what this is?"

There was some hesitation in his eyes, and finally he sighed: "Well, the matter has come to this, and it's my fault that I'm not cruel enough. I'll tell you now."

It turns out that this is not the first time he has participated in such a large-scale mission.

He is even a veteran who has passed the trial several times. In other words, he was only arrested for acting. If I was sacrificed directly at that time, he would have been able to escape.

As soon as he discovered that I still had some abilities, he planned to use me as a shield because he had some reasons of his own that made him unwilling to expose his true identity.

This is also the reason why the ghost's strength skyrocketed in the last round of trials.

"So you actually know how to get out of this maze, right?"

I felt betrayed, and my tone was a little colder when I spoke.
