âEveryone, stay where you are. Donât move!â Then Leng Ruoxue walked over.
âXueâer, what happened?â Leng Qingtian asked worriedly.
âItâs okay. Itâs just a hole. Hu Bin fell down.â Leng Ruoxue squatted down and looked into the hole. But it was pitch-black inside, and she couldnât see anything clearly.
âGrandpa, everyone, go back into the space. Iâll go down and take a look.â Leng Ruoxue sent everyone back into the bracelet.
âHold on to me tightly.â 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, âCharm, Ball Ball, Feng Zhan?â
âMaster, Iâm here.â Feng Zhan lit a flame, and the entire cave instantly lit up.
âWhat is this place?â 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.
âHu Bin!â 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.
âMiss, where is this?â Hu Bin, who just woke up, asked in bewilderment.
âI donât know. Iâll send you back into the space to rest first.â Leng Ruoxue sent Hu Bin into the bracelet.
âXueâer, let Grandpa out to accompany you,â Leng Qingtian said in the space. How could he be at ease with his precious granddaughter taking risks alone in this unknown place?
âXueâer, Big Brother wants to come out too,â Leng Ruohan echoed.
âHehe, Little Girl! Let us out!â Old Man said.
âAlright then!â Leng Ruoxue knew that they wouldnât be willing to stay in the space peacefully. But those below Spiritual Supremacy should stay in there for the time being!
âXueâer, this house is so strange.â Leng Qingtian looked around the room after coming out.
âYes, itâs a little strange,â Leng Ruoxue agreed. She jumped down directly from the hole, but she didnât notice any damage to the house, so where did she come from?
âWhy are you thinking so much? Thereâs a door there. Letâs go out and take a look.â Lin Liang pointed at a door.
âThen letâs go!â Leng Ruoxue said while looking at everyone present.
âXueâer, hide behind Grandpa. Grandpa will take the lead.â 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.
âWelcome to the Desert Labyrinth. You are the fifth batch of adventurers today. Good luck.â Then the voice disappeared.
âWhat lousy thing is this? Why donât you talk about the rules?â Old Zao couldnât help cursing.
âButterfly, why did that voice just say that we are the fifth batch today?â Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
âGirl, he means that four more groups of people entered before you,â Butterfly explained patiently.
âI know. I mean, didnât they encounter those venomous snakes and scorpions?â Leng Ruoxue asked depressedly.
âI donât know. But there should be more than one entrance to this Desert Labyrinth,â Butterfly said after some thought.
âWhat treasures are in this labyrinth?â Leng Ruoxue continued to ask.?Hmph! It will be best if thereâs something that can interest me here. Otherwise, I wonât mind demolishing this place.
âGirl, I really donât know,â Butterfly said aggrievedly.
âXueâer, which way should we go?â 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 couldnât 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.
âGirl, you have to think carefully!â Butterfly reminded.
Leng Ruoxue frowned as she ponderedâ¦n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âTo the right!â 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 exitâ¦
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 didnât know where they teleported to.
âWelcome to the first stage of the labyrinth.â The mechanical voice sounded in everyoneâs ears again.
âWhat are we going to do in the first stage?â Old Zao couldnât help asking. But the voice disappeared once more, and he was so angry he started cursing again.
âWhat is that sound?â Leng Ruoxue asked uncertainly. She seemed to have heard a rustling sound.
âWind?â Feng Moran asked doubtfully. He heard it too.
Leng Qingtian listened carefully and then said with certainty, âDefinitely not wind!â
âEveryone, stay alert!â 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.
âWeâve become food in the eyes of these bugs,â Leng Ruoxue said with a tingling scalp. She hated things like snakes and bugs the most.
âXueâer, it seems like we wonât be able to leave this place until we destroy these bugs,â 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.
