Douluo: Becoming Qian Renxue

Chapter 279 Moving forward
Hu Liena sighed, as if she had thought of something, "If we can't find the right way, will we starve to death here?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her and said, "No, there must be a way out."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at her surroundings for a long time, thinking about various possibilities. Her brows were slightly furrowed, her eyes focused and determined.

Suddenly, she said, "I think this maze may have a pattern. We can't just rely on our eyes to see, we have to use other senses to feel."

Hu Liena heard Zhu Zhuqing's words, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes. She immediately closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and tried to use her mental power to perceive the surrounding environment.

After a while, she opened her eyes and said excitedly: "I feel a faint air flow coming from the left wall. There may be a road there."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, pointed to the left and said, "Okay, let's go that way."

The two walked carefully along the wall, taking every step with extreme caution. This time, they did not walk into a dead end, but successfully found a passage.

However, as they continued walking forward, a faint sound was heard in the distance, as if someone was whispering.

The two looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

Hu Liena asked softly, "What's that sound?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. But her eyes revealed vigilance and curiosity. After some discussion, the two decided to move in the direction of the sound.

As the distance shortened, the sound became clearer and clearer, and it sounded like someone was chanting an ancient spell...

At this moment, Hu Liena suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. The sound was very faint, and if it weren't for her keen hearing, she would have hardly noticed it. She raised her head alertly, her eyes as sharp as an eagle, looking in the direction of the sound.

The front was surrounded by a huge high wall. In the dark shadows, she saw a dark figure slowly approaching from a distance.

The black shadow was like a ghost, silent and made people feel an inexplicable chill.

"Who?" Hu Liena asked in a low voice, with vigilance and uneasiness in her voice.

However, the shadow did not answer, but just stood there quietly, like a sculpture, motionless. It seemed to be waiting for something, or observing Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing's every move.

Hu Liena held the dagger tightly in her hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

She took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and whispered, "Let's go!"

The two walked towards the shadow carefully, with every step full of vigilance. However, when they were about to get close to the shadow, it suddenly disappeared. It was as if it had never appeared, leaving only silence and darkness.

Hu Liena stopped and frowned, thinking to herself. Who is this mysterious black figure? Why is he here? Is he related to this maze or the person behind it? A series of questions came to her mind, and she fell into deep thought.

At this time, they also need to face another problem - how to get out of this maze.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed, "Sister Nana, look!"

Hu Liena looked up and found Zhu Zhuqing pointing at a recessed wall. The shape looked like a symbol. This discovery made Hu Liena very surprised. She walked quickly to the symbol and looked at it carefully.

"What is this?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

Hu Liena shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. However, she keenly felt that this symbol must have a special meaning. So she began to look for more clues along the wall.

After some observation, they found some strange symbols and patterns carved on the wall. These symbols and patterns looked very complicated and seemed to require certain relevant knowledge to understand. Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing carefully studied these symbols and tried to interpret their meaning.

"I think these symbols may be a kind of indication." Hu Liena said. "Maybe these symbols can tell us where to go." Zhu Zhuqing's tone was full of excitement.

So, for several days, they continued to move forward in the direction of the symbols. Every time they encountered a new symbol or pattern, they would stop to study it and then move on.

In this way, they followed the guidance of the symbols and actually walked a long distance. Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing were very excited because it meant they had finally found a way out.

However, just when they thought they had found a way out, they found themselves in trouble again.

"Damn it!" Hu Liena couldn't help but curse, "What the hell is going on?"

The road ahead forked again, and this time, the signs did not give them clear instructions. Zhu Zhuqing frowned, thinking about what to do next.

"It seems that these symbols are not completely accurate." Zhu Zhuqing said.

Hu Liena also nodded. These symbols only provided some clues, but they could not guarantee that they were always on the right path. Now, they had to rely on their own judgment to choose the right route.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing stood at the fork in the road, carefully observing the two different roads. One road seemed wider, while the other road was narrower.

"Which way do we take?" Hu Liena asked.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment and finally chose the narrower road. She said, "I think this road might be safer."

Hu Liena agreed with Zhu Zhuqing's opinion, and they set foot on the narrow road. Although the road was a bit bumpy, there was no other danger. They walked carefully, hoping to get out of this place as soon as possible.

However, after they had walked for a while, they suddenly heard a low roar. Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.

"Not good!" Hu Liena shouted, "Run!"

They quickened their pace and ran forward, hoping to avoid the impending danger. However, when they ran to a corner, they found that there was no road ahead. The huge road surface cracked, forming a bottomless crack.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing stopped and looked at the scene in horror.

They realized that they were once again in a desperate situation.

"What should we do?" Zhu Zhuqing asked anxiously.

Hu Liena gritted her teeth and said, "We can only turn back."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, she knew this was the only way at the moment. So they turned around and walked back to the previous fork in the road.

However, what greeted them was another crack.

"It seems that we have no choice but to find a way to cross this crack." Hu Liena frowned and said while observing the crack carefully.

Zhu Zhuqing summoned the Shadow Cat spirit and tried to use Qinggong to leap to the other side, but the crack was too wide and even with her speed she couldn't jump over.

Just when Zhu Zhuqing was about to give up, Hu Liena suddenly found a few large rocks protruding from the crack. With an idea in mind, she quickly called Zhu Zhuqing: "Wait a minute! Maybe we can use these rocks to get through."

"Captain, you forgot that I also have flying soul skills." Zhu Zhuqing reminded.
