Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

"Glasses, how much longer can the Guiding Ghost hold out?" Xuanwu raised the Ghost Head Shield in front of him again, his gaze sweeping across the thick fog around him.

The bespectacled man stared at the black beetle spinning wildly in the diary, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead.

"Captain, the spatial distortion rules in the vampire labyrinth are getting stronger, and the guide ghost's perception is being severely interfered with. Our current progress is less than half of what it usually is."

"We can't stop here and wait for Qinglong and the others." Xuanwu strode into the thick fog. "The C-rank ghouls on the outer edge of the maze will gather more and more when they smell living people. We must first enter the safe zone in the middle of the maze to establish a defensive line. Hongye, keep an eye on that brat and don't let her run around and trigger the traps."

Hongye took Jiangluo's hand.

"Stay close to your sister and don't make a sound."

Jiang Luo nodded obediently and followed Hongye with her short legs.

The team trudged through the thick fog with great difficulty.

The soil beneath their feet gradually turned into dark red chunks of flesh, making a squelching sound when stepped on, and oozing thick juice.

The surrounding withered trees have also been transformed into twisted pillars of flesh and blood, their surfaces covered with dried corpses that have had their blood sucked dry.

These mummified corpses had hollow eye sockets and their jawbones dangling precariously in front of their chests.

The dark red flesh underfoot made a squelching, wet sound.

Xuanwu held up the grotesque shield with its grotesque head. The starving ghost sealed on the shield opened its blood-red maw and bit off the neck of the C-level ghoul that was rushing towards it.

Black blood splattered on the bronze shield, only to be licked clean by the starving ghost in the blink of an eye.

The surrounding pillars of flesh twisted and contorted restlessly. Crimson light shone in the hollow eye sockets of the mummified corpse, its jawbone was crooked and dislocated, and a piercing roar squeezed out of its throat.

"Captain, the guide has completely failed." The bespectacled man was pale, and the black diary in his hand trembled violently. The black beetle used to scout the way was lying belly up, its legs stiff and curled up together, oozing a puddle of yellow liquid.

"The spatial rules of this maze are constantly being reorganized. With each step we take, the position of the gate of life will shift." Hongye brandished the Blade of the Wraith in her hand.

The shrill phantom of the gruesome female ghost wrapped around the blade shrieked, slicing several approaching ghouls into pieces.

"If we keep going like this, our strength will be completely drained."

Jiang Luo hid behind Hongye, her cheeks puffed out in a rounded arc, crunching on the strawberry lollipop in her mouth.

(￣ ー￣)

These human whelps are so weak!

They can't even get out of a broken formation pieced together with low-level flesh and blood rules?

The energy flow trajectory of this maze is even cruder than a maze drawn by an elementary school student.

You call this an S-class strategy team?

But thinking about it, it makes sense; these humans are a bit too arrogant.

Dracula is, after all, an SS-level mystery, and the dungeon level is also SS-level on the surface.

They dared to rush over with just a few S-class raiding teams, relying solely on a strange item that counters Dracula to conquer him. If it weren't for her, they might have actually succeeded.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luo shook his head.

If we keep dawdling like this, what if Lolo's army of leeks runs away?

She has to help these good-for-nothings.

Jiang Luo stretched out her delicate white hand and grabbed the hem of Hongye's trench coat tightly, squeezing out two crystal tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Sister Hongye, Luo Luo is so scared." She pointed with her short, stubby little finger to a dark corner shrouded in black mist to the left. "There's been a strange crying sound coming from that direction, and Luo Luo feels so cold over there."

Xuanwu looked in the direction Jiang Luo was pointing, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

"That's the direction of the Death Gate." The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses. "The Guiding Ghost sensed a high-level, eerie aura over there; going there would be suicide."

"But Luo Luo thinks the fog is a little thinner over there than in other places." Jiang Luo tilted her head, her big, watery eyes full of innocence.

(╹▽╹)

Hurry up, you bunch of idiots!

The gate to life is right behind the gate to death!

This is called reverse rule nesting, do you understand?

Xuanwu stared at Jiang Luo for a while, then gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Listen to this little girl, break through to the left front!"

"Captain! Are you crazy?" The bespectacled man jumped up and down in panic. "Entrusting the entire team's lives to a little girl's intuition?"

"The Guiding Spirit is useless now; we're blind." Xuanwu raised his Ghost Head Shield and led the way. "We've been searching for this path to survival for so long, and we still haven't made it out. There's only one possibility left: this dead end is the path to survival we've been looking for. Charge with me!"

The group rushed toward the direction of the fog.

……

On the top floor of Dracula's castle, on the scarlet throne.

Dracula, holding a glass of precious primal blood wine, was watching the ugly, desperate struggles of the human players in the labyrinth through the mental perception network.

When he saw the Xuanwu Squad, guided by Jiang Luo, miraculously avoid the ambush of all the high-level flesh puppets and head straight for the only exit from the maze, he clenched his fingers tightly around the wine glass.

Click.

The crystal goblet shattered, and crimson wine mixed with glass shards spilled all over his expensive, bespoke suit.

"What is this damned little brat doing?" Dracula was so angry that one eye was bigger than the other, and his handsome face was twisted in anger.

What happened to the plan to infiltrate and become a cleaner?

What happened to the plan to stab someone in the back and double-cross them?

How did you end up acting as a guide for humanity?!

Dracula's chest heaved violently as he forcefully suppressed the urge to overturn the table.

He now strongly suspects that Jiang Luo is an undercover agent sent by the Human Federation to sabotage him.

"housekeeper!"

Dracula roared at the empty hall.

"Young Master!"

A headless, eerie figure in a tuxedo emerged from the shadows and bowed respectfully.

"Go and awaken all six Blood Knights in the underground tomb, as well as the Crimson Lord!" Dracula's eyes gleamed with a violent red light.

"Activate the castle's highest defensive barrier! Drain all the energy from the blood pool to the city walls! Today, no one will leave my territory alive!"

……

Under Jiang Luo's haphazard command, the Xuanwu Squad managed to penetrate the thick fog without any major incidents.

When the last flesh and blood puppet blocking the way was beheaded by Hongye, the oppressive atmosphere in the surroundings immediately dissipated.

My vision suddenly opened up.

At the edge of the withered forest, a massive black castle, exuding an ancient and imposing aura, stands beneath the dark red sky.

The castle is surrounded by a boiling moat, in which countless faces of people wailing in agony are reflected.

"We're out! We're really out!" The bespectacled man looked at the diary in his hand, and the beetle rolled over and started crawling again.

"This is simply a miracle! We broke through the vampire labyrinth in less than twenty minutes!"

Xuanwu turned his head and looked intently at Jiang Luo, who was squatting on the ground playing with mud.

If it weren't for her reminder.

I reckon I'm still stuck in the vampire labyrinth and can't get out.

He saw the path to survival hidden behind the dead end simply by feeling.

It was just good luck.

Or something else?

Xuanwu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This little girl...

It's definitely not simple!
