Liu Su took Xianxue's hand and chose the path in front of him, and everyone walked forward.
Here, Chu Qingyu's mark was no longer seen. It seemed that they had chosen a different path. As they walked forward, when they turned a corner, Xianxue saw the mark they had just made. In just a moment, they were taken by the enemy.
Back to the starting point.
"Return the same way." Liu Su said softly, and the group immediately turned back and chose the intersection to the left. Still no sign of Chu Qingyu was found. This passage seemed to be very long. Xianxue roughly estimated the time in her mind.
It took about an hour and they still didn't encounter any forks in the road. Maybe it was already dark outside and they had been staying in this ancient tomb for almost a day.
"Take a rest first and replenish some strength." Xianxue said softly.
Shadow took out the prepared beef jerky and some water and dry food and distributed them before everyone leaned against the wall.
"Xianxue, the restoration of the country is actually not that important in my heart. The most important thing is that you still have our children." Liu Su said while holding Xianxue's hand. As soon as he walked out of here, he felt like he was powerless.
, he was astonished by how dangerous this place was. They were able to get here without any casualties, all thanks to Xianxue. This also made him feel even more uneasy.
Xianxue raised her head and smiled lightly at Liu Su. All she had done was not only to help Liu Su recover Western Qin. She could not let Chu Qingyu get this treasure, let alone let Helian Jingyun die in vain!
"We won't die here." Xianxue said with a smile.
"I know." Liu Su nodded and held Xianxue in his arms.
Xianxue closed her eyes and carefully recalled the path they had taken when entering the maze. She already had a rough idea in her mind, but she did not dare to determine the actual shape of the maze.
"Let's go." After resting for about a stick of incense, Liu Su pulled Xianxue and the others forward again.
After just a while, the road came to an end, with a branch branching off on the left and right sides. Xianxue resolutely chose to go to the right. If she was right, only going to the right could penetrate into the center of the maze.
An hour passed. No matter what fork in the road she encountered, Xianxue always chose to go to the right.
Just after turning a fork in the road, suddenly, several people were lying on the ground not far away in front of them. Xianxue and others stopped, unable to tell whether they were corpses or living people. Yingyi stepped forward to find out.
"Master, these people are still alive." Yingyi shouted to Xianxue.
There were a total of five people in front of them. Although there were injuries on their bodies, the wounds had been treated simply and they did not look like new injuries.
"Water,,," one of them made a weak voice.
"Give him some water."
Ying Yi took out the water bag and handed it to the man's mouth.
"They were over-starved and had excessive bleeding from wounds all over their bodies. They won't live long," Xianxue said softly.
Chu Qingyu had entered this ancient tomb three days ago. Three days later, they came in and met their people. Could it be that Chu Qingyu had been trapped in this maze for three days?
"Where is Chu Qingyu?" Xianxue asked lightly.
The man in black slowly opened his eyes, looked clearly at the person in front of him, and shook his head gently.
"He won't tell us anything." Liu Su helped Xianxue up and glanced at the men in black.
"Chu Qingyu may have dispersed his people." Liu Chang said as he looked at the fork in the road that appeared in front of him, because there were marks left in all five directions.
"He will pay the price for this." Xianxue looked at the five men in black lying on the ground. By then, Chu Qingyu would bring fewer and fewer people, and some people would be destined to get lost in this maze.
He couldn't get out either. The longer the time dragged on, the weaker Chu Qingyu's fighting power became.
"Which way to go?" Liu Su asked lightly.
Xianxue stopped and could no longer go to the right. After walking for so long, she had almost reached the center of the maze. Xianxue closed her eyes and carefully recalled what they had walked through in the past few hours and the forks in the road that had appeared.
.Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she opened her eyes suddenly. Her eyes were full of joy. She could conclude that this maze was built with a figure she was familiar with. The modern one was the national map of country Z, where they entered.
It is exactly the north direction of this map, so the exit must be in the south direction!
Just as Xianxue was overjoyed, a burst of footsteps suddenly appeared in the distance, and Shadow immediately became alert. The footsteps passed through a corner, and a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Chu Qingyu?"
"Xianxue?!"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time, Liu Su's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he pulled Xianxue into his arms.
Shadow was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Liu Su. Chu Qingyu did not show any reaction to take action, and the two just stared at each other.
"Chu Qingyu, you go on your Yangguan Road, and I'll go on my single-plank bridge. We won't interfere with each other. In the end, who gets the treasure and who dies here depends on his own ability." Liu Su took the initiative and said.
"Let's go!" After Chu Qingyu finished speaking, she took the lead in entering another passage.
"Master, why didn't you take the opportunity to deal with him?" Ying Yi was completely puzzled.
"The secret guards under him are no worse than any of you. The two groups are equally matched. If we really want to take action, there will be unnecessary sacrifices. We don't know how long it will take to walk through this maze. Before the last moment, both sides will
Of course I chose to maintain my strength." Xianxue explained softly. It took Chu Qingyu three days to get here. In comparison, they were much luckier.
Xianxue stepped into another passage and continued walking forward.
"Your Majesty." A man in black looked at Chu Qingyu who stopped and called him respectfully.
Chu Qingyu didn't answer, she stretched out her hand and punched the stone wall hard. Blood immediately flowed down the stone wall, pulling at the wound on her shoulder. Her clothes immediately turned red, plus the damage caused by Xianxue's previous blow.
It can be said that Chu Qingyu suffered internal injuries all over his body, but this could not compare to the injury in his heart. He did not expect that he would be so vulnerable when facing Xianxue's hatred.
"They don't look injured at all." Chu Qingyu said softly. He just counted their number, and it happened to be twenty. The eighteen shadows plus Xianxue and Liu Su, no one is missing, regardless of them
When did he come here? No one was injured or killed in the mechanism of this ancient tomb! Even the terrifying light array did not hurt anyone!
Chu Qingyu took a deep breath and looked at the place where he just walked in. Was it because he was not strong enough? No, any of the secret guards he pulled out were no worse than one of Xianxue's secret guards.
They have been trapped here for three days. If they stay trapped any longer, they may never be able to leave this ancient tomb.
"Follow them and follow their marks without being discovered by them." Chu Qingyu suddenly ordered, and the group of people retreated and followed in the direction Xianxue and others were walking.
