Douluo: Becoming Qian Renxue

Chapter 278 Maze
She shook her head and said firmly: "No, we are still in the City of Slaughter. I just don't know why, the rules here seem to have changed..."

Hu Liena frowned, looked around, and thought to herself. In her previous life, she had never encountered such a strange situation.

Now, what exactly happened?

Suddenly, a thick fog rose up, spreading in front of their eyes like a veil, blocking their vision. The two of them only felt an invisible force pushing them forward.

When they opened their eyes again, what appeared before them was a pure white world.

There is no way such a pure and flawless place could exist in the City of Slaughter.

"What is this place?" Zhu Zhuqing asked puzzledly.

Hu Liena shook her head and looked around vigilantly, followed closely by Zhu Zhuqing.

However, they were surrounded by towering white walls and the ground was also covered in white, as if they were in a closed maze. Shrouded in fog, they lost their way and could not find the exit.

Hu Liena whispered to herself, "Maze... Could this be a maze?"

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing stepped on something and let out a scream.

"what!"

The sound was particularly loud in the silent environment, which startled Hu Liena.

Hu Liena hurried over to check and found some bones scattered on the ground, which looked like human remains.

"Bone...?"

She couldn't help but frown. Could it be that someone had died here before and failed to get out? Thinking of this possibility, Hu Liena felt a surge of panic in her heart.

However, she quickly adjusted her emotions. After all, she had experienced many dangers and challenges and knew how to deal with such situations.

So, she took out some food from the storage soul guide, then walked to Zhu Zhuqing, handed her some food, and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will definitely find a way out. Rest for a while and eat something to replenish your energy."

The two of them sat there and ate. While eating, Hu Liena thought about what to do next. Since this was a maze, there must be an exit. It just took time to find it.

Moreover, according to her speculation, this maze was most likely a test set by a god. Who else could set up illusions and mazes in the territory of Shura God except a god?
If this is true, then perhaps they can gain the approval of the gods by completing this test.

Thinking of this, Hu Liena was suddenly extremely excited.

God, that is a legendary existence!
Even in the previous life, the two gods of the Spirit Hall had caused Tang San a lot of trouble. But now, they have the opportunity to come into contact with the power of God. If one of them can get the favor of God, perhaps the strength of the Spirit Hall can be strengthened.

The more Hu Liena thought about it, the more excited she became. But at the same time, she also understood that it was not easy to get the approval of God. They had to face various difficulties and challenges, and they might even pay the price of their lives.

However, for Hu Liena, it is all worth it, because only by constantly breaking through oneself can one become stronger.

The walls of the maze were tall and thick, like an insurmountable barrier, blocking their sight and making them feel a little confused.

However, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing were not intimidated by this predicament. They looked at each other with determination in their eyes, and took steps without hesitation, moving forward step by step.

They walked along the winding passage, stopping every time to carefully observe the surrounding environment, looking for any possible clues. However, the walls of the maze were unusually clean, without any markings or clues, leaving them at a loss as to where to start.

Hu Liena held a red crayon tightly in her hand, and she carefully marked the road they walked on to avoid getting lost. Her eyes were focused and alert, not missing any place where clues might be hidden. Zhu Zhuqing seemed a little irritable and restless, and she kept stroking her eyebrows, trying to ease her inner anxiety.

Zhu Zhuqing seemed a little irritated. She frowned, stroked her eyebrows, leaned against the wall, and tried to calm herself.

At this moment, there was a slight clicking sound. She raised her head suddenly and was surprised to find that the wall beside her was moving slowly.

"Secret door!" Zhu Zhuqing widened her eyes and shouted excitedly.

As the wall moved forward, a gap appeared in the originally closed passage, which was obviously a hidden entrance.

This unexpected discovery surprised them, as if they saw a glimmer of hope.

They quickly passed through the secret door and entered another passage. This passage was narrower than the previous one, but it was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing walked cautiously, holding the daggers tightly in their hands.

Suddenly, a fork appeared in front of them. The two looked at each other and decided to explore separately. Hu Liena chose the left passage, while Zhu Zhuqing went to the right.

Hu Liena walked along the passage on the left and found that it was getting narrower and narrower, and finally became a narrow gap that could only accommodate one person. She squeezed through the narrow gap sideways, and suddenly the view in front of her was open, and a wide road appeared.

But as expected, it's also a maze.

Hu Liena cautiously avoided this road and continued walking forward.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing encountered several traps in the right passage. She avoided them one by one with her agility and finally came to a closed room. There were some strange objects in the room, which seemed to hide some secrets.

After Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing explored their respective routes, they returned to the original fork in the road, exchanged their findings, and then continued on their way.

However, the rest of the journey was not smooth, as they kept running into dead ends and had to turn back the way they came.

"What's going on?" Hu Liena looked at the wall. There was no secret code she had made on it, which meant that for almost a whole day, they had been walking through dead ends.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her with a frown on her face, obviously in a bad mood.

"We've spent a day in these dead ends." Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Don't worry, just take a rest first." Hu Liena comforted her, but she didn't feel relieved at all.

How to get out of this maze?

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing sat on the ground, exhausted. They ate dry food while thinking about what to do next.

Suddenly, Hu Liena seemed to have thought of something and said, "Maybe we can try to use our soul power to detect the road ahead." Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.

So, the two of them released their soul power together, trying to find out the situation ahead. However, surprisingly, their soul power seemed to be suppressed by some force and could not extend too far.

"There's something really weird about this maze." Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly.
