I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

This was the first time Qin Yuanshan had activated his skill with so many units at the same time, and he was inevitably struggling a bit.

But he dared not delay, for the road ahead seemed endless and countless walls awaited him.

Perhaps that little bit of time spent resting will be just enough for them to escape the maze?

Qin Yuanshan dared not gamble.

Especially given that the maze passages are visibly getting narrower and narrower.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past through the transparent wall in Qin Yuanshan's eyes.

Although it was only for a moment, Qin Yuanshan still saw it clearly.

It's that vengeful ghost that looks like a young boy; it's wandering through the wall!

To pursue or not to pursue?

Qin Yuanshan was caught in a dilemma.

But in the end, he gave up chasing the ghost blocking his way.

That ghost was too fast; he and his teammates couldn't catch it.

Moreover, it's hard to say that this wasn't a tactic by the vengeful ghost to lure them into changing direction, thus losing their only chance to escape and trapping them here to their deaths!

We can't chase after them; the most urgent thing is to get everyone out of here as soon as possible.

Qin Yuanshan abandoned his plan to change direction and resolutely moved forward.

The wall grew narrower and narrower, and Qin Yuanshan's condition deteriorated.

Activating skills requires stamina. He is now like a marathon runner in the second half of the race, completely drained of energy and relying solely on willpower to move forward.

This was even with Xu Xiu constantly helping him replenish his strength.

"If only... were here..."

A strange thought popped into Qin Yuanshan's mind.

who is it?

"Qin Yuanshan! Ahead!"

Wen Zhaoye's shout brought Qin Yuanshan back to his senses.

He immediately spotted the familiar, eerie old house not far away, behind a stone wall made of red bricks and granite.

The last wall!

Qin Yuanshan used his last bit of strength to activate his skill, and suddenly the view before him opened up.

At this moment, the gaps in the maze passage behind us were so narrow that only one person could squeeze in sideways.

"It's...it's a success!"

Qin Yuanshan collapsed to the ground, breathless.

He led everyone out of the large maze that the road-blocking ghosts had transformed into!

Wen Zhaoye exclaimed in amazement, "He really came out... Good lad! You're really something!"

"Well done!" Shen Chilie patted Qin Yuanshan's shoulder forcefully. "You're awesome!"

Huo Yunzhi squatted down and helped Qin Yuanshan sit up: "Thank you for your hard work."

Qin Yuanshan heard it.

However, he was completely exhausted and could only lean on Huo Yunzhi, unable to move.

Even when I felt dizzy and nauseous, I didn't have the strength to vomit.

Xu Xiu bit her lip and silently performed hand seals to restore his condition.

"Xiuxiu, how is he?"

Xu Xiu shook her head: "His condition is very bad. His physical strength is completely depleted, and his health is also not good. This child... has reached his limit."

[Current instance time remaining: 01:30:00]

The mechanical beeping sounded, and the harsh reality was laid bare before everyone.

Should we bring Qin Yuanshan along?

"Let's vote. If you agree, send '1' to the group chat; if you disagree, send '2'." Wen Zhaoye immediately proposed a solution.

"Can."

"no problem."

"it is good."

Huo Yunzhi readily agreed and immediately voted in favor in the group chat.

This wasn't the first time she had worked with Qin Yuanshan, and she would never abandon him under any circumstances.

A moment later, the vote ended.

"Alright, the minority shall obey the majority, we'll take Qin Yuanshan with us."

"I'll carry him on my back." Shen Chilie had already squatted down in front of Qin Yuanshan.

"Wait a minute... I object!"

Qin Yuanshan raised his hand tremblingly.

He struggled to lift himself off Huo Yunzhi's shoulder, and Shen Chilie and Wen Zhaoye quickly helped him up.

"I object," Qin Yuanshan said weakly.

Why?

"I have absolutely no strength left, even walking is a problem, and you'd be a burden to me. How about this, Sister Xiuxiu, could you save some of your strength-restoring potions for me... cough cough..."

Qin Yuanshan coughed a few times, then took a breath before continuing, "I'll recover my strength here before chasing after you, so that we won't delay either side."

Wen Zhaoye stared at Qin Yuanshan, his eyes hardening: "You..."

"Oh, Teacher Wen, stop being so wishy-washy, we don't have much time left."

Wen Zhaoye pursed his lips, and after a long while nodded: "Okay, you rest here, and be sure to catch up with us later."

"Don't worry, as long as Teacher Wen doesn't forget to share the map in the group, I'll definitely be able to keep up with you all."

"Okay, let's go then."

Seeing that things were settled, Xu Xiu gave Qin Yuanshan a large amount of vitality recovery potions, while Huo Yunzhi and the others left behind a lot of emergency supplies and weapons.

Shen Chilie even placed his beloved AT4 next to Qin Yuanshan: "Rest well, watch out for us. Maybe by the time you catch up, we'll have even found the palanquin."

Qin Yuanshan gave two weak laughs: "That would be best."

Having settled Qin Yuanshan in, Huo Yunzhi and the others continued their journey deeper into the old house.

After everyone had disappeared from sight, Qin Yuanshan began to chug down the medicine.

After taking the last vial of medicine, he collapsed to the ground, quietly waiting for his body to recover: "Phew! I'm exhausted!"

He had heard Wen Zhaoye's suggestion, and he was quite pleased to hear the last part about majority rule.

This shows that his trusted teammates wouldn't abandon him here.

"But who would steal the dissenting votes?"

Qin Yuanshan began to brainstorm.

First and foremost, it definitely wasn't my sister Huo; there's no way she would abandon me.

Even Brother Shen wouldn't know how, since I went to save him immediately after successfully passing through the wall.

Teacher Wen and Sister Xiuxiu are both possibilities, since they both clearly wanted me to rest properly just now.

who can that be?

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Yuanshan finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and opened their group chat.

Send 1 if you agree to take him away, and 2 if you disagree.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: 1

[Iron Wolf]: 1

【I Have a Logic Cat】：1

[Ruthless Rice Cooker]: 1

【Goodness is like water】：1

The five messages were sent at the same time.

Qin Yuanshan rubbed his eyes hard, then finally laughed out loud: "Really, everyone voted in favor, so why talk about majority rule..."

So, the only dissenting vote was his own.

"That Mr. Wen, he's clearly a teacher, so why is he always thinking about lying?"

However, Qin Yuanshan wasn't really in a position to say that.

Because in a way, he also lied to them.

After resting for half an hour, Qin Yuanshan's strength had been fully restored.

With the intruder gone, the maze walls have returned to their original width.

Wen Zhaoye's map updates have continued without interruption, indicating that they are still searching the area and have not encountered any more vengeful ghosts.

This is not a good sign.

With only one hour left in the dungeon, it's simply impossible to obtain the remaining items and clear the SSS-level dungeon within that time.

In the next round, the maze in front of him will be upgraded again, and it will be of no use even if he can move freely between the walls.

After all, he can only travel through space, not through four-dimensional time.

Recalling the fleeting black shadow from just now, Qin Yuanshan stood up and slowly walked towards the maze.

The moment he stepped onto the stone slab, the wall began to writhe again, reassembling and piecing itself back together in front of Qin Yuanshan.

"Then I'm going to lock you up completely in this round!"
