Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu

In the maze.

Ike "randomly" shuttled between various intersections, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, as if he was taking everyone in circles, and his route was unpredictable.

Compared to the others who were confused, Du Heng and Wang Ye stared at it without blinking. Dong Ruoguanyou also kept sensing the circulation of the innate Qi in Ike's upper dantian.

Observe for a while.

Wang also couldn't figure out what was going on, so he gave up happily. However, Du Heng refused to turn back and continued to stare at Ike, not missing any changes.

This attracted Wang Ye's attention. Seeing that he had a frown on his face and seemed to be a little anxious, he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Lao Du, you look very anxious. What's the matter?"

Du Heng was multitasking, observing and replying, "It's a bit urgent. After all, this trip is not only to explore the Twenty-Four Section Valley, but also to fulfill Director Zhao's mission. Now the list of ant nests has been processed, but the four survivors have not been encountered yet. You know, we are in a maze now. If they take the opportunity to escape, it will be difficult to explain to Director Zhao when we return."

Wang Ye suddenly remembered, "Yes, we didn't encounter them along the way. Obviously, they entered this maze. This place is complicated and it is easy for them to slip away. So, how about we go back and block the entrance to the maze from the valley?"

"No, the four survivors are our mission, but..."

Du Heng turned to look at Sean and the others, his eyes were full of warning, and said: "These ghosts and international friends are also mission targets, we need to keep an eye on them all the time."

The words fell.

The atmosphere fell into deathly silence, leaving only the sound of wind and thunder.

A few seconds later.

Sean, Catherine and others began to react. They all looked over and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Du, we are helping you deal with the list and the ant nest. We are in the same camp anyway, but you have been wary of us."

"Du, your image as a gentleman in my heart has been destroyed. It's so sad."

However, Du Heng said calmly: "Sometimes it's good for both of us to talk openly."

Hearing this, Catherine's eyes dimmed as she complained, "But you can't be so open! Yes, yes. We are used to being straightforward when talking, but we don't talk face to face."

"Yes, I even doubt whether you are an Oriental. You are really not subtle at all." Sean agreed.

Du Heng turned a deaf ear to this. He did this only to warn them and let them know that they should not think that they can be so arrogant just because they helped him before and put both parties in the same camp. This is only temporary. If they do anything out of line, they will still be dealt with.

Wang, who was standing by, understood his concerns and came up with an idea. He said, "How about we split up into two groups? We'll keep an eye on Ike, and you'll go block the opening. If there's any situation here, someone will come over to call you, and vice versa."

Du Heng shook his head. "I've thought about this plan, but this person is quite greedy."

His eyes swept over Catherine and the others, and then he continued, "They have to watch, and I have to watch whether Ike can build the three elixirs and embark on the path of dual cultivation of body and life. In short, I have to watch those who can be watched, and I have to watch those who cannot be watched. Only children make choices, and adults should have everything."

Wang was confused by what he heard. What was going on? He even started to talk about the factory manager. He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Old Du, I have to remind you that if you take everything, you will lose everything. I have been observing Ike for quite some time, but I still don't see any changes. It is not a good idea to keep following him aimlessly. Maybe the survivors took the opportunity to slip away."

After he said this, Du Heng's brows showed a little anxiety, but he was still very calm inside and did not panic.

His mind was doing two or even three things at once, staring at Ike's path while sensing the movement of his innate Qi, and responding at the same time. "There is still a possibility of change, such as there is some hidden connection between Ike's path and the movement of his innate Qi."

Wang Ye seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Old Du, don't you think that the walking trajectory is consistent with the operation route of the innate Qi, right?"

"Yeah." Du Heng nodded in surprise.

"It's useless. I thought of this guess at the beginning, but I still can't see any connection until now."

"Not always."

Du Heng smiled mysteriously, then turned to look at Feng Baobao and asked, "Baby, you are more familiar with the maze than we are. Let me ask you, has Ike walked straight from the starting point to now? Or is his end point towards the center of the maze?"

Feng Baobao blinked and nodded obediently, "Yes!"

"Sure enough!" A gleam of light flashed in Du Heng's starry eyes, and the anxiety between his brows disappeared.

In just this moment, he thought of many things, and became more and more certain that what Ziyang Mountain Man had hidden in the engravings was not only a method of obtaining Qi, but a method that enabled people to embark on the path of dual cultivation of sex and life.

Wang also saw it and asked, "Old Du, did you find something?"

The others were completely confused and had no idea what they were talking about in riddles. Different professions are like different worlds, and they were even more separated by different cultivation systems.

Then, Du Heng stopped and said, "You guys go with Ike. I'll go block the entrance alone. Remember, be sure to guard it. Come over after I take care of the four survivors."

"Hey, we were just talking about the changes in Ike, why are you talking about the survivors again? Aren't you unwilling to split the troops into two groups?"

"I didn't see it before, but now I understand it. Naturally, I have no worries and can go and block people without any worries."

"So, what did you see?" Wang asked in confusion.

Xiao Zizai was the same, not understanding what Du Heng was up to. Catherine and the others in particular were quite curious about what changes Du Heng had noticed in Ike.

However, Du Heng just shook his head and said, "It's hard to explain it in a few words. I'll explain it to you later."

He continued, "Also, observe Ike's trajectory and the route of his innate Qi clearly for me."

Seeing this, Wang stopped asking questions and kindly suggested, "How about letting Feng Baobao accompany you? Those four survivors seem to be quite strong, not to mention there's the variable of Kui Ye'er."

"Don't worry. It's okay if Chen Jinkui doesn't show up. If I meet those four people, I can defeat them quickly." Du Heng was full of confidence, and his smile was a bit cunning.

Got it!
This look!

As a good friend, Wang Ye would definitely understand what Chen Jinkui was up to. He was probably trying to "hook" Chen Jinkui with the secret of the Eight Wonders, and because of the latter's greed, he would be easily caught.

"Well, be careful and don't let anything go wrong, or I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life."

"You'd better give up on this idea!"

After saying this, Du Heng nodded to Xiao Zizai, Catherine and the others, then quickly swept to the back and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant. (End of this chapter)
