Chapter 429 Red Dot
Navigating through this maze made of crystal bricks so transparent that they are almost invisible is quite challenging.

Even more difficult than that was that Zhu Yu had to endure the scorching heat from above while traversing the area.

The layout of this array is both bizarre and ingenious. People walking inside cannot see the crystal bricks blocking their way in advance by reflecting light, but they are often blinded by light refracted from unknown angles.

This makes it even more difficult to determine direction.

Under the combined assault of high temperature and glare, Zhu Yu felt his physical strength declining even faster.

She felt her vision blurring, her strength waning, and the wound on her leg seemed to have grown a heart, causing her to throb with pain with every step she took.

The feeling was really bad. Based on his experience, Zhu Yu immediately realized that the iron needle in the device must have pierced his calf. The wound could not be treated in time and could only be roughly bandaged to stop the bleeding. Now there were already signs of infection.

But she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and keep going.

After all, at a time when even surviving is a question, who has the mind to think about how to treat their wounds?
After groping around for a while, Zhu Yu was so dizzy from the bright white light that he had no choice but to sit down next to a crystal brick, take out a pill from his belt and put it in his mouth.

These pills were prepared when they were going to Xiaoshanlou to investigate. At the time, the two of them were worried that the people in Xiaoshanlou might try to put something in their food, so each of them prepared two highly nourishing pills personally made by Yan Daoxin.

Although this pill cannot stop one's hunger, it can at least provide some strength to prevent the body from becoming too weak.

After being thrown into this place, Zhu Yu has been relying on these two pills as her mental support. Even when she was starving, she couldn't bear to take one out to eat.

But at this moment, she really couldn't hold on any longer.

If she doesn't eat one, she probably won't last long enough to get out of this crystal maze.

The pill was about the size of a small hawthorn berry. It almost melted in the mouth, quickly turning into a ball of slightly sweet, herbal-flavored liquid, which I swallowed with a gulp.

Zhu Yu closed her eyes, calmed herself down a bit, and gradually felt as if a warm sensation was spreading from her stomach to her limbs and bones, and the feeling of weakness and shortness of breath she had just experienced gradually disappeared.

She quickly stood up, afraid of wasting the medicinal effects of the tonic, and hurriedly dragged her injured leg to continue searching for direction.

As the sun set and the light gradually dimmed, Zhu Yu truly experienced the alternation of day and night for the first time in the past few days.

Although the searing pain began to ease, Zhu Yu felt no relief whatsoever, because the light was starting to dim, which meant that the spiders still hiding in their holes would soon no longer need to hide...

Thinking back on the process of carefully moving over there, Zhu Yu felt utterly devastated and didn't want to go through it again.

Finally, just as the last rays of light were about to disappear, Zhu Yu stepped out of the open area filled with giant crystal bricks and returned to a narrow passageway.

Standing at the entrance of the passageway, Zhu Yu looked back and saw a large dark shadow moving rapidly toward them in the distance, as if some enormous creature had cast its shadow.

However, Zhu Yu knew that it was not a huge thing, because the shadowy figure did not move as a complete whole.

Those spiders are back!
I am caught in a dilemma.

The passageway behind her was unfamiliar; she had no idea whether it concealed any deadly traps.

The spider that was moving rapidly toward them was truly terrifying.

So this is what they mean by "wolves in front and tigers behind"! She quickly put the veil she had taken off her head because it was too hot back on.

In any case, an extra layer of protection means a greater chance of survival.

The fact that those spiders didn't actually bite him shows that this method is still viable.

Just as she was frantically wrapping her head, face, and neck with her skirt, the spiders were already upon her.

Strangely, the spiders rushed to the entrance of the tunnel but stopped. They crawled back and forth along the edge of the tunnel, but seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. Only one or two small ones crawled over the boundary and were stomped to death by Zhu Yu when they reached his feet.

Zhu Yu didn't dare to make any rash moves. He observed for a while and made sure that the spiders really didn't want to cross the boundary before turning around and carefully walking forward.

Although the spiders not coming over relieved Zhu Yu of one worry, she wasn't naive enough to think it was a good thing.

It's important to know that insects and animals often have an instinct to sense danger.

Of all those spiders, except for a few fools, none dared to cross the line. Perhaps it was because they sensed some kind of aura emanating from something far more dangerous than themselves, something that kept them at bay.

As for what that thing was, Zhu Yu didn't know, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and move forward.

She subconsciously touched her waist, pulled out two iron needles, and held them in her hand, just in case.

After walking a while, some scattered bones began to appear on the ground on both sides of the passage.

The skeletons were not large, and many were just fragments. There was no blood, no flesh, and not even a single bone was intact.

The further you go, the more broken bones you find in the passageway, and the dimmer the light becomes.

After walking a while longer, Zhu Yu finally saw a small, relatively intact bone at his feet.

She quickly bent down to pick it up, lifted the veil in front of her skirt, and brought the bone closer for a careful look.

It was a finger bone, and judging from its length and shape, it was clearly from a human.

This confirmed nothing to Zhu Yu.

In this deadly tunnel, if she doesn't see any corpses or skeletons, she might become even more frightened.

Upon closer inspection, although the finger bone was intact, it was not smooth; it had many pits and bumps, as if it had been gnawed on by something.

What exactly is waiting for me ahead?

Zhu Yu felt utterly devastated; the endless dangers were almost wearing down her last remaining will.

Just then, she accidentally stepped on a bone, crushing it with a "crack".

At the same time, two small red dots suddenly appeared deep in the almost completely dark passageway ahead.
