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

Twenty minutes ago

"Pass through walls!"

Qin Yuanshan returned to the outside of the maze, his expression grave as he looked at the walls that were gradually returning to their original state.

"Tsk, almost again."

He wandered back and forth in the maze for a long time, and several times he saw the ghost blocking his way not far from him.

But as soon as he got close, the other party would disappear without a trace, like an eel.

He couldn't help but feel relieved. Luckily, when he led everyone out of the maze, he hadn't actively chased after the vengeful ghost. Otherwise, given the guy's speed, he wouldn't have been able to get them out of there even if he tried his best.

Besides, the horse isn't around right now, so there's nothing to film.

"The walls of this maze are unbelievably thick. With such good defense, why do you need to be so fast? And why do you run away as soon as you see someone?"

Qin Yuanshan pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered how the roadblock ghost had been brutally beaten by Shen Chilie in the first round.

An idea slowly took shape in his mind.

Could it be that... in this round, the true form of the road-blocking ghost is still quite vulnerable?

But how can we verify it?

This godforsaken place has at least ten thousand walls; if he were to photograph them one by one, he'd be exhausted to death.

"If only there were fewer walls!" Qin Yuanshan roared to the sky.

He returned to the wall, sat down to rest, and popped an energy bar into his mouth, intending to regain his strength before venturing out again.

He had only chewed a few bites when he leaned against the old wall behind him, creating a hole. Red bricks and stones rained down, crashing down on Qin Yuanshan.

"What the hell!" Qin Yuanshan turned his head angrily, only to find that the wall was actually hollow.

"What a shoddy construction project... This place is no longer suitable for rest."

Qin Yuanshan stood up to leave, but as he lifted his foot, a sudden idea flashed into his mind.

"Hollow wall... hiss."

He put the remaining energy bar in his mouth, went to the wall, moved a stack of bricks, and started piecing them together on the ground.

"If you think of a brick as a wall... this was the maze that was set up before it was activated."

He placed the two bricks side by side, then slowly pressed them together: "When someone breaks in, the maze walls will expand..."

Is it possible that when the walls of the maze expand to a certain extent, the original two walls will be judged by the skill as a hollow wall?

Qin Yuanshan thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible.

He finished the energy bar, quickly drank half a bottle of water, and then excitedly stepped into the maze again.

After marking the nearest wall, Qin Yuanshan stayed in place for five minutes, and the maze passage changed from four meters to two meters.

"Two meters... that's still too far." Qin Yuanshan tried to use his wall-penetrating skill, but it failed.

"Old Wen just calculated that the walls will take about ten minutes to completely close. The remaining time in the instance... is less than an hour."

This means that his trial-and-error costs are getting lower and lower.

He placed his hands on the wall, closed his eyes, and began to mentally reassure himself: "Calm down... calm down... this is a hollow wall, a hollow wall..."

Qin Yuanshan muttered for several minutes until the distance to the maze passage was less than a meter.

Suddenly, he "saw" a straight passage spanning two walls, appearing before him.

"They're here!"

The next second, Qin Yuanshan was surrounded by a dazzling light, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

After successfully passing through the wall, Qin Yuanshan immediately went to find the pre-made markers.

Excluding the possibility of the walls moving, he did indeed manage to pass through two walls at once!

Then, an even crazier idea popped into his head.

If the passage continues to narrow, will there be even more walls that are judged to be hollow?

"Boom!"

The sound of the wall moving interrupted Qin Yuanshan's train of thought.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy-like ghost with ears peeking out from the wall, staring blankly at him with an unnatural grin on his lips.

The wall will close completely in two minutes; every second longer will make the passage narrower than it was a second ago.

[Dungeon Time Remaining: 00:40:00]

"Screw it! Let's do it!"

Qin Yuanshan steeled his resolve and began to use the wall-penetrating technique, heading towards the location of the vengeful ghost.

As if it had anticipated his arrival, the ghost blocking the way quickly retreated into the wall and in a few breaths it traversed to a location more than a dozen walls away.

Qin Yuanshan followed closely behind with a sullen face, recalling the feeling of passing through two walls in one go, activating his skills again and again.

His continuous success in making judgments greatly boosted his confidence.

If two walls can do it, then three walls certainly can too!

The increasingly narrow passage inadvertently helped Qin Yuanshan a great deal, allowing him to pass through three or four walls almost effortlessly, and he was vaguely moving towards passing through five walls at once.

The distance between himself and the roadblock was visibly shortened.

No matter how fast the ghost swimming between the walls goes this time, Qin Yuanshan will not lose it again!

But problems arose as a result.

He can't stop now.

The wall will be completely closed in one minute, and the passage is now only about forty centimeters wide.

If he stops now, he might be pinned down by the wall and unable to move in the time it takes to catch his breath.

"No, we can't let ourselves be suppressed."

Qin Yuanshan wasn't afraid of death, mainly because if he died now, his paper doll would take the hit for him once.

However, he no longer had enough time and energy to leave the maze.

Even if they were resurrected, they would only be crushed to death by the wall again.

This is no different from wasting a resurrection opportunity.

"Trade it to Sister Huo, and let her revive me in the next round!" Qin Yuanshan made the decision in just one second.

He quickly used his mind to open the app and put the paper doll as a trading item.

However, I received a notification that the request was rejected.

[Crayon Shin-chan's eyes]: What are you doing!

[Bang Bang will give you two punches]: (Voiceover: Sister Huo, I'm about to catch the roadblock ghost! But I might die together with it. Please keep my substitute paper doll safe for me and revive me in the next round!)

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: Didn't you say you were going to follow me?!

[Bangbang gives you two punches]: (Voiceover: Sorry, Sister Huo, next round, next round I will definitely stick with you and not fall behind. I have set it to force the receiver to accept whenever I die, Sister Huo, remember to accept!)

Qin Yuanshan closed the chat window, his face full of gratitude: "I knew Sister Huo treated me like a good brother, she just didn't say it. Haha! Luckily I had the foresight."

After dealing with the paper doll, Qin Yuanshan smiled with relief.

He actually didn't have much strength left to speak; he had to force himself to send out those two voice messages.

His stamina bar was already almost empty, and now every time he tries to pass through a wall, it consumes health points.

"This is basically draining your mana bar and then your health bar... What a terrible game, it's like a game of 'hooking stones'!"

The roadblock was still running, and the expanding wall made its tracks increasingly obvious. Qin Yuanshan didn't even need to look for it; he could see where it was.

"Just a little bit more... through the wall!"

A dozen walls whizzed past his ears, and Qin Yuanshan suddenly turned around and opened his arms.

The next moment, the ghost blocking the way crashed into his arms, a chilling, desperate aura spreading from his chest to his limbs.

"Hey... got you!"
