Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 201: Empty Buzz
The man confessed, "They are all dead. We have been here for at least a month. Every area of this damn place is a big maze. We go around and around, but we can't find the waterfall where the Lu Kingdom Holy Water is. We can't go back the same way. We have walked through at least two or three hundred such areas. Many places are like hell."

His companion from the East Territory behind him added in an even worse Tianyao dialect: "All kinds of deformed monsters, even plants eat people. There are more than a dozen floors around here. Our companions were eaten by trees and were still screaming and talking inside the trees. There were also two people who were almost grown together, with two heads and four legs."

He gestured with his hands.

"Go back the way we came and find the sign we left on the wall. You will find your way back to the entrance." Pei Nai said, "After you go out, don't come back in!"

The Huanqing man kneeling in front rolled his eyes and said, "No! The way back is also dangerous. We want to follow you! We feel safer following the Pei family army!"

"Yes, yes, yes! You can protect us!" the man from the Western Territory behind him said bluntly.

Pei Nai's palm wind hit them so hard that the two of them could hardly lift their heads.

Pei Nai's eyes were sharp and angry. "We are the Tianyao army, you are not Tianyao people, Xinzhua Island and Ronglu are not Tianyao vassal states, we have no obligation to protect you! Hurry up and leave!"

"He is! He is from Huanqing Kingdom, and Huanqing Kingdom is a vassal state of Tianyao!" The person in the front was very anxious and pointed at another man from the East Territory.

The man from Huanqing Kingdom also nodded frantically, "Yes, yes! I am from Huanqing Kingdom!"

Pei Nai turned around and asked Luo Yuanying, "Is Huanqing now a vassal state of Tianyao?"

"Yes, they surrendered three years ago. Both His Majesty and I signed, and they also pay tribute regularly every year." Luo Yuanying answered in the fog a few steps away.

The man in the front immediately kowtowed to her, "All the other powerful companions are dead. There is really no way for the three of us to escape! General Pei, please be kind and save our lives!"

"Hey!" Pei Nai quickly called out to him.

She gritted her teeth. She had indeed saved the citizens of Huanqing Country, and the other two were also alive.

"Get up, stay in the middle of the team, don't cause trouble, and don't make any noise! Besides, our food is very tight, did you bring your own dry food?"

The three men immediately bowed and frowned, thanking him gratefully, "We can cook the mushrooms ourselves! Thank you, General Pei."

The three of them immediately got up and hurriedly walked along the wall towards the center of the team, greeting the soldiers with a flattering smile on their faces along the way.

Pei Nai called them: "Wait, do you know the risk avoidance rules of this circle?"

"It seems that we cannot touch our companions or any other objects?" The leading man expressed his guess.

Pei Nai frowned, "Didn't you encounter that creature on the way? When 'He' appears, it will bring with it the smell of blood and a rumbling sound that lingers throughout the entire area."

They reacted immediately, and the man from Xinzhua Island replied, "We encountered it once, but the three of us were too scared, so we crouched in the corner with our heads in our hands. We also heard our companions screaming, but when the sound passed, everyone else was gone."

"You are lucky. If you encounter this situation again, immediately stand against the wall like the other soldiers, close your eyes, don't make any sound, and don't move until this creature leaves. Do you understand?" Pei Nai explained the precautions.

They nodded, "Got it."

"What is that?" asked the man from Huanqing Kingdom.

Pei Nai shook his head and said, "We don't know either."

"Even you don't know?" The man from Xinzhua Island showed fear.

Pei Nai pointed to the back and urged them, "Go back to the team and do as we say!"

The three of them turned around and continued walking back.

Han Ruize twitched his mouth at Pei Nai, and Pei Nai made a helpless expression.

The group set off again and walked to the exit of this area. The next blocks were all going up.

They successfully passed the 28th block, and at the 29th block, they heard that ethereal and piercing voice again.

Combined with the irresistible smell of blood around them, everyone hurriedly stood against the wall and closed their eyes.

Pei Nai was still somewhat worried about the condition of the three martial artists.

But in a place like the third circle of the Lu Kingdom Secret Realm, if an accident occurs, no one else can rescue them, and their life and death depend on themselves.

When the pressure passed from the front and gradually reached the middle of the team, the man in Ronglu in the Western Territory suddenly groaned with a trembling voice, as if he was frightened. Then he screamed several times, shouting for help.

Following two chaotic voices, the man from Xinzhua Island also shouted, "Don't pull me! Ah?! What the hell is this?! Help."

The man seemed to open his eyes, and then his words were completely interrupted.

Pei Nai clenched his fists and waited until the deafening ethereal buzzing sound disappeared, then he and Han Ruize rushed over immediately.

"What happened? Are any of our people injured?" Pei Nai asked immediately.

The soldier in the middle immediately replied: "No, our people are all safe, and two gangsters were taken away."

Only the man from Huanqing Country was left. He was frightened to the point of being almost paralyzed, his eyes unfocused.

"What did they do? Why were they taken away?" Han Ruize asked. After all, Pei Nai had already told them what they needed to pay attention to.

The man from Huanqing Kingdom shook his head, indicating that he himself didn't know.

The soldier in front of them added: "Judging from the noise, the Ronglu man was too scared and trembled, making a very soft sound, which attracted the attention of 'Him'. Then he was touched or experienced something, and in a panic he grabbed the man from Xinzhua Island, and the two of them were stuck together and taken away together."

The man from Huanqing looked at the ground.

Pei Nai followed his gaze and saw that in addition to water stains, there were two puddles of powder on the ground.

"What is that?" Pei Nai asked in confusion.

The man from Huanqing answered, "Their weapons are daggers."

It seemed to be explaining that counterattack had no effect on "Him".
Pei Nai and Han Ruize looked at each other, and Han Ruize understood what she meant.

"Let's go, we have to leave the third circle as soon as possible." Pei Nai couldn't stand the feeling of being unable to resist.

If she could pick up the spear, as long as "Him" dared to attack anyone in her team again, no matter whether "Him" was a god or a devil, Pei Nai would kill him in front of this damn secret realm.

Han Ruize and she returned to the front of the team.

Pei Nai asked Ju Liancheng, "Liancheng, how many blocks do we need to go to the third circle?"

"There are six more." Ju Liancheng said.

Pei Nai nodded, "It's almost time, let's go!"

After passing through more than twenty forks, they went up and entered the 30th block. The fog finally lightened a little, but it was still a little hazy.

In the 31st block, the mist finally dissipated, but what followed was a strong fishy smell coming from every entrance and exit.

They followed the map and came up from underground, presumably avoiding the most dangerous areas.

The casualties among those passing through these middle levels must have been heavy.

When he reached the exit of this block, Pei Nai heard a strange noise from the other side, like the sound of countless nails scratching the stone wall, which made his back feel cold and extremely uncomfortable.

"Are you sure this is the exit we want to take?" Pei Nai asked Ju Liancheng.

Ju Liancheng nodded firmly, "OK."

"Hiss." Pei Nai took a breath.

Han Ruize was amused by her appearance. Unable to take out the Hunxi Whip, he just said, "Respect the despair in front of you?"

"Cheers to the despair before us," Pei Nai continued.

Han Ruize, with a smile on his face, stepped into the corridor before her and walked into the unknown.
