Chapter 332 Things Have Gone Too Far: 10 Celestial Venerable Followers March to Conquer the Demon Realm

Wei Hang was instantly dumbfounded.

He remembered there were four forks in the road, but why were there none left? In front of him was a patch of ornamental flowering plants blocking his way.

wrong.

Shouldn't.

It's only the second fork in the road; he couldn't possibly be mistaken.

But the scene before us doesn't lie.

Could it be that I underestimated Chen's maze last night and was careless and remembered it wrong?
Or did you forget to remember a fork in the road?
He could only think of this possibility, and began to doubt himself.

But faced with the ornamental plants blocking his way, he could only doubt himself. At least, the reason wasn't because he was bad at the job, but because he had just remembered it wrong.

Wei Hang thought for a moment and immediately retreated to find another path, soon turning onto another path.

Even if you forget the second fork in the road, you definitely won't forget the rest. As long as you find the corner with four forks, you can continue along the path.

So, for a while, Weihang could only wander around inside, looking for the four forks in the road.

Finally, after several forks in the road, he found the place with four forks at the corner. He carefully recalled the video he had taken, and it should be this place.

You should take the third path from these four forks. Once you go in, three new forks will appear.

Weihang went in, but when he reached the new fork in the road, he was dumbfounded again. There were only two new forks in the road, not three at all.

He was wrong again.

This……

Weihang had a bad feeling; he might be lost and trapped.

He subconsciously looked at the special device installed in front of him, saw the QR code on it, and scanned the QR code to find out the correct path.

No… he quickly shook his head.

I'm a professional maze player, I've even figured out the path, so how could I still get trapped?
Those four forks were incorrect.

Then let's find four other forks in the road.

Once he finds the correct one, he can follow the subsequent paths to get out.

After wandering aimlessly for more than ten paths, he finally found a place with four forks in the road.

This time it'll be right, right?
He sped toward the correct path, but after passing through the 'correct' path, he was dumbfounded to find two trees standing side by side blocking his way.

This is a dead end.

Damn it, I made a mistake again.

He immediately turned back and returned the way he came, and suddenly he sneezed several times for no apparent reason.

This made him frown: "Who's insulting me out of the blue?"

At that moment, there were indeed people criticizing Weihang, and it wasn't just one or two people.

Liu Yifei reacted with a string of curses: "Damn it, what kind of path map did that bastard Weihang create? It's a total rip-off!"

When it was his turn to come in, he came in with the route map in high spirits, telling his girlfriend to wait for him to collect his bonus.

Because he needed speed to compete for first place, he didn't bring his girlfriend along, otherwise she would definitely have been a burden.

Who knew that following this route map, we would get lost at the third fork in the road.

There are clearly two passages ahead, one to the left and one to the right, and you should go to the right.

But what was happening before him? There was only one path leading to the left, a few trees on the right, and wilderness behind them with no road at all.

He thought he had gone the wrong way and could only turn back, but then somehow the path completely didn't match up.

They were trapped.

The key point is that he didn't go the wrong way; he followed the route map exactly.

The path map has a problem.

On the other side, Huang Tao also cursed loudly: "Despicable! Wei Hang is too shameless. He must have known about the 5 yuan prize and did this online in advance."

He followed Weihang's route map, but after taking only a few forks in the road, he got lost and ended up trapped.

This indicates a problem with the path diagram.

This is definitely a strategy of Weihang.

Everyone was affected and trapped by the flawed path diagram created by the other party, so no one was competing with him for first place.

As Huang Tao was thinking, he saw two people walk in, their faces also showing anxiety, clearly they were also trapped.

"Brother, are you trapped too?" one of them asked instinctively.

Huang Tao nodded helplessly, and seeing the path map in the hands of the two, he couldn't help but complain about Wei Hang: "Don't look at that path map. Wei Hang must have known about the event in advance, so he made such a path map to trick everyone. Everyone is trapped, so no one will compete with him."

The two of them agreed with this statement; otherwise, how could it be explained? They couldn't help but start cursing.

"Holy crap, I see!"

"No wonder we were still trapped even following this route map, that bastard."

Huang Tao nodded in agreement: "Isn't he a bastard?"

The three men, sharing the same condemnation of the enemy, quickly grew closer and decided to travel together.

After all, they're both trapped, and it's too uncomfortable to be alone. Being together means they have someone to discuss things with.

Soon, the three of them encountered two more tourists traveling together.

The two were also trapped, so while they were talking, Huang Tao and the other two couldn't help but complain about Wei Hang again.

Everyone reached a consensus: this guy is a bastard.

After that, the three-person team became a five-person team, and then they continued on together.

Now that they've fallen for Weihang's big trick, they're not even thinking about winning first place anymore; they just want to get out of here.

It would be best to get one more small ranking.

The idea was good, but the reality was harsh; they were completely trapped and couldn't even find a way out.

Especially at a series of bends, they were walking straight ahead, but ended up in a dead end blocked by a pile of rocks.

Returning to the path they came from, they were astonished to find that the original route was gone.

What used to be a single, straight path has now become two separate paths.

They all began to wonder if they were hallucinating.

One of them quickly said, "We must be under too much mental pressure. Why don't we scan the QR code and ask for help? We feel like we have no hope of winning a prize."

Huang Tao sighed, "Let's keep going. If we keep going around in circles like this, I feel like I'm going to go crazy."

The person who spoke nodded and immediately went over to scan the code.

The next moment, the special device bracelets of Huang Tao and the others also vibrated, just like the vibration setting of a mobile phone, only with a larger arc, and they all felt it.

Upon examining the special device, a message requesting assistance was indeed displayed on it.

Furthermore, an indicator icon appeared above, which should indicate the path.

Upon seeing the directional map, Huang Tao and his four companions were dumbfounded, because there was no path leading in the indicated direction; a tree so large it would take several people to encircle it was blocking their way.

More importantly, when I went around to the side, I saw that behind the trees were only bushes and forests covering the mountains, with no path at all.

"Are you kidding me?" one person said instinctively.

Another person frowned and said, "It might be a problem with the device settings. After all, it's a newly opened project, so it's normal."

"Something's not right." As a seasoned observer of the Chen family's supernatural phenomena, Huang Tao had seen countless videos of Chen's mystical arts. Even though most people online didn't believe in those stories, he knew they were real.

So, why would Chen make such a basic mistake, with the special device malfunctioning on the very first day the Maze Project opened?

Of course, this situation is possible, after all, the Chen family is good at cultivating the Tao, not this kind of technological thing.

What if it's not a basic mistake?

Huang Tao felt his heart racing.

Perhaps the Chen family maze is not as simple as everyone thinks.

He instinctively walked towards the big tree and reached out his hand.

This scene attracted the attention of others, who didn't understand what he was going to do, but the next moment, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Huang Tao's eyes shone brightly.

His hand actually went straight through the big tree.

The tree seemed to be completely unobstructed.

Then, his figure disappeared through the big tree and vanished from everyone else's sight.

This scene left the other four people staring in shock.

Are you seeing things?

The next moment, Huang Tao, his face full of excitement, emerged from the big tree and appeared in front of everyone: "Amazing! The Chen family's maze is really amazing! This tree is actually fake, just like an illusion in a movie. This is a real maze."

At this point, Huang Tao didn't need to explain; everyone else understood what was going on.

Some people even followed Huang Tao's example and flew through the tree, disappearing from everyone's sight.

This made the others unable to resist, and they all rushed into the big tree and disappeared from the spot.

When they passed through the big tree, they turned around and saw that there was no big tree left, only Huang Tao who had stayed in the same place.

Huang Tao passed through the big tree again and joined the others.

Several people were shocked.

What I thought would be a simple maze to break turned out to be so terrifying.

This isn't a QR code for help; who would believe such a thing exists? Even if you were trapped to death, there's no way you could get out.

"We've been stuck in a misconception all along," Huang Tao couldn't help but sigh. "Even the head of the Chen family can turn feng shui into scientific evidence, yet we actually thought the maze he set up would be so simple..."

This statement was echoed by others.

Some people had already taken out their phones to try and capture this amazing scene, but when they opened the camera, they found that the screen was covered in static, making it impossible to take a picture.

Upon seeing this, Huang Tao speculated: "This kind of magical maze must be maintained by some kind of energy. Under the influence of this ability, some functions of electronic products will definitely be affected."

"Hmm," the man had no choice but to put away his phone and said, "With this kind of formation, it will be very difficult for us to get out."

"We should give it a try," Huang Tao suggested. "Let's follow this path and reach out to explore on both sides as we go. We might discover a place where hallucinations occur."

The suggestion was agreed upon by the others, and one by one they immediately followed suit, exploring the surrounding trees, flowers, and piles of rocks.

But they soon realized how foolish they had been, because the maze was too large, and this method would take an unknown amount of time, making it seem like a futile effort and extremely exhausting.

"This method is too stupid." Huang Tao couldn't help but complain. He could only continue to move forward normally, but before long, they found themselves trapped and lost again.

Left with no other option, they scanned the QR code again, but this time, a garbled message appeared after scanning.

"Why can't I scan it?" one person asked, frowning.

"Let me try." Another person also tried scanning with a special device, but it was also garbled text and couldn't be scanned at all.

"This time there's really been a mistake, isn't there?" another person said. Huang Tao, however, tried to reach his hand forward.

Several people opened their mouths as his hand passed through the device and the trees.

This is also...

After Huang Tao passed through, he indeed arrived at another passage. Looking back, the trees with the device were gone.

In the following period, Huang Tao and his team endured both torment and pain, yet they couldn't help but try it themselves.

Every time I get stuck, I have to scan a QR code for help, and just when I'm done asking for help, I try to do it myself again, only to get stuck again and have to scan another QR code...

And so it goes...

Huang Tao and the others are alright; at least they'll scan a QR code to ask for help. But some people are just stubborn, like Wei Hang.

He was covered in sweat, his body soaked with perspiration, anxiously searching for the right path.

He was a professional maze player and didn't believe he could be stumped by this small maze.

To be honest, he really wanted to slap himself a few times. Why did he miss the situation at the second fork in the road? If there hadn't been a problem at the second fork, things wouldn't have come to this.

He hasn't yet found the locations of the four forks after the turn.

I looked for two turns followed by four forks, but the locations were all wrong and didn't match the subsequent path.

Suddenly, Weihang turned a corner and saw the scene before him. He really wanted to curse. It was another dead end, with a pile of rubble blocking his way.

But just as he was feeling frustrated, he witnessed a horrifying scene: a hand emerged from the pile of rocks, almost touching him.

Wei Hang was so frightened that he staggered backward and fell to the ground. He wondered if he was hallucinating because he was too tired and his energy was depleted.

Otherwise, how could such a strange situation occur in the pile of rocks?

Before he could react, he saw several people emerge from the pile of rocks.

This made his eyes widen.

"Hey, isn't that bastard Weihang?" Huang Tao said in surprise.

"Damn, it really is him." Another person chimed in.

"I was killed by this guy's path map. I never thought I'd run into him again." The third person also realized.

"Forget it, he's a victim too. He had no idea that Patriarch Chen had set up such a maze." Huang Tao shook his head and said, "Now all the tourists have his route map. He'll be criticized by a lot of people."

Wei Hang understood from these words that these people were tourists, and they were able to crawl out of the pile of rocks because of this formation.

He hurriedly got up and walked towards the pile of rocks, actually walking right through it.

"How could this happen???" Wei Hang exclaimed in shock.

He had always thought that Chen's Maze was just an ordinary maze project; who would have thought it would be like this?

Who can break this?
When Weihang returned from the pile of rocks, he found the tourists looking at him with amusement and even surrounding him.

"What are you going to do?" Wei Hang was immediately alarmed.

"We've all been misled by your route map. Is it okay if you scan a few more QR codes?" Huang Tao looked at Wei Hang with a mocking expression.

This maze may be terrifying, but if you ask for help too many times using the QR code, it will look terrible, right?

In particular, the screen on the Chen family allows you to investigate information about breaking the formation by name. If friends or colleagues come here in the future, it would be quite embarrassing if they had to check on their situation out of boredom.

Therefore, it's not enough that only they are ugly.

Wei Hang is a professional maze player and an internet celebrity. If he makes a fool of himself along with everyone else, then they'll have an excuse, right?

They used Weihang's special device to scan QR codes, and regardless of whether they were trapped or not, they would scan any QR code they saw.

"What the hell are you doing?" Wei Hang's exclamation quickly rang out.

...

As more and more tourists entered the maze, they also discovered its anomalies and realized that Weihang's path map was completely useless.

As time passed, more and more people gathered around the maze, many of them curiously looking towards the exit, wanting to see who would be the first to break through the maze and emerge.

The exit is located on the left edge of the entrance, on the outer edge of the maze, and is a passage leading directly up the mountain.

The other side is the location that connects to the exit of the maze.

Those who emerge from the maze can return to the foot of the mountain via the passage. Upon exiting, members of the Chen clan will retrieve their special device bracelets, record their information about breaking the maze, and then erase the information from the bracelets before giving them to other tourists.

The tourists waited for a long time but no one came out, which seemed a bit strange.

Especially since everyone has the Chen's Maze path map, it's no wonder that no one has succeeded for so long.

Weihang, who drew the path diagram, was among them.

However, they were unaware of the situation, had not entered the maze, and had no idea of ​​the specific circumstances.

After this wait, several people finally emerged from the exit passage.

"It's Weihang!" someone shouted.

“It really is him, let’s go take a look.” Someone else chimed in.

A large number of tourists gathered around and saw Chen's people retrieving the special device bracelet and scanning it on a computer to enter Weihang's data into the database.

An online influencer pointed their phone at Weihang and interviewed him with a smile: "Weihang, you are the most famous maze player in China, and you even created the Chen's Maze Path Map..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Hang excitedly interrupted, "No, please don't believe that picture! Everyone must listen to this advice."

"Uh!" The interviewer, seeing Weihang's excited expression, was puzzled and quickly added, "Haha, Weihang was just joking with everyone. He was afraid that everyone would use that path map to break the formation. I'm sure Weihang will get the 'Chen's Maze Solving Solo Commemorative Plaque' this time, and he'll definitely get the 5 yuan prize money."

Wei Hang felt incredibly embarrassed by these words.

Exclamations arose from all around, as Weihang's information appeared on the screen: a QR code for help: 132 times.

"..." Wei Hang sighed silently. These beasts scan every QR code they see. There's no need to scan them at all. What's the point of scanning them?

It was incredibly embarrassing.

"Ah...this..." The interviewer was embarrassed after seeing this, and quickly coughed twice to stop the interview and look elsewhere.

Wei Hang coughed twice and turned his head to the other side.

Fine, if you don't make things difficult for me, I won't comment, otherwise I'll roast you to death.

However, he didn't forget his business and took out his recording phone to record: "Damn it, something went wrong in the maze. All the footage on my phone turned into static. The key is that this maze is completely different from what I imagined. You can't trust what you see in there."

"Because it could be a hallucination, an incredibly realistic hallucination. Can you believe that a hand reached out from a pile of rubble, and then a few shabby guys walked out of it?"

"The Chen family head has set up a real maze, which is something that should not exist in reality."

Since I've already embarrassed myself, I still need to capitalize on the hype, otherwise I'll just lose face for nothing.

His words immediately attracted the attention of the internet celebrity who had just been interviewed. Their curiosity was piqued. Were the things the other person said really true?
However, the internet celebrity didn't look for Weihang again, but instead looked at Huang Tao and the others: "Gentlemen, you were the first tourists to come out and the first to experience the Chen's Maze. Can you tell me about what's inside?"

Upon hearing this question, Huang Tao and the others were immediately eager to share their amazing experiences, and they all began to speak:
"Patriarch Chen has set up a real maze. Don't trust your eyes inside."

“Those flowers, trees, and stones could all be fake.”

"Sometimes you think it's a dead end, blocked by a big tree, but when you crash into it, you find that the tree is fake, and there's a new passage behind it."

"This maze is too difficult. I don't believe anyone can get through it. If there are traps, we're all going to die inside."

"Even without the trap, if the Chen family hadn't given us this special device bracelet, we would have been trapped and died in the maze."

"..."

These people's words attracted the attention of the surrounding tourists, who were all bewildered as the stories became increasingly fantastical.

Based on this description, wouldn't ancient times have been able to use this maze to defend against large armies?

But these people didn't seem to be faking it.

As time passed, more and more tourists emerged, each with a strange expression on their face. As their descriptions came out, everyone became uneasy.

The description of Chen's maze is becoming increasingly fantastical, but the key point is that the number of people scanning QR codes for help is also very high.

If the maze wasn't truly terrifying, it wouldn't have come to this.

It's impossible that these tourists were acting; after all, who would give up a 5 yuan prize?
That means there's a possibility that what these people are saying is true.

Did the Chen family patriarch really set up such a maze?

More and more tourists wanted to go into the maze to explore, but many couldn't get tickets for the first day and could only watch as those with tickets went in one after another.

Moreover, as the day went by, not a single tourist who managed to snag a ticket managed to break through the barrier, which finally made those tourists lose their patience.

They simply couldn't get in without tickets.

So when the Chen family released the tickets for the second day's maze experience that night, they were sold out in less than half a minute.

This amount of time is barely enough to click the link and enter personal information, which shows how fast these tourists' hands are.

Similarly, by evening, the already high popularity of the Chen's Maze event also propelled it onto the trending topics list.

In particular, the descriptions of Chen's Maze by tourists quickly went viral online.

Can't believe your eyes?

The trees, rocks, and flowers may all be fake; you can walk right through them.

All of these are incredible descriptions.

Many people don't believe it, but here's a real question: if they could really break the formation, would these tourists give up the 5 yuan reward?
In other words, Chen's Maze is definitely very difficult.

In Beijing, after receiving a report from Lin Dong and his colleague, Minister Ma kept a close eye on the news about Chen's Maze online.

The report given by Lin Dong and his companion was so unbelievable that they could hardly believe it.

But now, hearing the videos related to the Chen's Maze, in which almost all the tourists described it in the same way, he finally confirmed this incredible thing.

The head of the Chen family really did create this incredible maze.

In other words, they have another challenge to overcome.

Just as I thought, if this thing were used in some border areas, it would be a dead end for those who don't understand the I Ching or mathematics.

After all, no one would have issued a special device like the Chen family's back then.

Thinking of this, he summoned someone almost without hesitation and ordered, "Go and inquire around the Taoist sects to see how the Chen family has set up these formations."

Since those Taoist priests were involved in setting up this formation, they must have found out about it.

The next day, the online buzz about Chen's Maze intensified, and those tourists who managed to snag tickets for the second day arrived at Chen's Maze early, heading towards the entrance to wait for it to open.

While everyone was captivated by Chen's maze, a special bus sped towards Chen's location.

At the same time, Chen Han, who was browsing the internet for information about the Chen Family Maze, was suddenly stunned by a game notification:
Because Mahedra, a master of the Demon Realm, came to the Central Plains for help and devoutly worshipped the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, becoming a loyal believer of the Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly Venerable's glory had the opportunity to spread beyond the realm.

This prompted the Celestial Venerable to descend, and 10 of his followers came to the Chen family to provide support. They will accompany Ma Haidra on his expedition to the Demon Realm, allowing the Celestial Venerable's radiance to shine upon that place.

A new chapter is about to unfold!

"???" Chen Han was dumbfounded.

10 followers of the Celestial Venerable?
Don't lie to him!
……

(Tickets, tickets, tickets)
