After hearing Xixi's words, Pei Sining turned to look at both sides of the passage.

Xi Xi's suggestion reminded him that there were indeed similar tunnel markings on the map.

However, this long passage was surrounded by stone walls on all sides, and there was no tunnel leading to the maze.

Thinking of this, he immediately stopped, stood in front of the stone wall, and pondered with his lips pursed.

Wang Haocheng noticed that Pei Sining had stopped and quickly turned around to remind him, "Your Highness, hurry up, the monster is about to catch up."

"Wait a minute, I remember there's a maze marked on the map. Even if we run as fast as we can, we can't outrun that beast. We might as well lure the monster into the maze."

Pei Sining stared intently at the stone bricks in front of her, reached out and tapped one of them, feeling that the brick was relatively loose.

Seeing this, he hurriedly pressed down on the looser brick, and the stone wall suddenly split apart after he pressed it down.

Before her appeared a complex maze, which, as if drawn by an attraction, quickly drew Pei Sining in.

By the time Wang Haocheng noticed, it was too late. Helpless, he could only shout to the people in front of him.

"Lord Chen, Young Master Zhu, enter the maze."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled into the maze by the enormous suction force.

As Chen Xiang, Zhu Chenfeng, and Zhu Haotian turned around, they saw the maned wolf charging towards them.

"Oh no, we need to get into the maze quickly."

Zhu Chenfeng was still hesitating about whether to enter the maze, but then he saw the maned wolf running towards them.

He had no choice but to wave to the crowd and run into the maze.

After hearing Zhu Chenfeng's reminder, the rest of the people also changed direction and rushed into the maze.

Just as everyone entered, Zhu Yanyan appeared outside the maze riding a maned wolf.

She cautiously observed the situation inside the maze, still undecided whether to go in or not.

They discovered that the maned wolf's body was being sucked into the maze by a tremendous suction force.

After everyone had entered the maze, the stone gate slowly closed and returned to its original state.

It's so dark, is this a maze?

It seems the maned wolf followed us in.

After entering the maze, Pei Sining fell heavily to the ground. In her dazed state, she heard Xixi's voice.

He slowly got up from the ground, looked around blankly, and found that he was surrounded by huge walls.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Just as Pei Sining was feeling lost, Wang Haocheng arrived with his guards, carrying a bamboo basket on his back.

Pei Sining remembered that Xixi was still in the bamboo basket, so she quickly got up from the ground to check the situation inside.

"Is Xixi alright?"

The moment the bamboo basket was opened, you could see Xixi nestled inside, munching on her toes, her big eyes blinking as she smiled at Pei Sining.

What are you looking at? Run away now!

Hurry up, Xixi's face is practically frozen from smiling.

Upon hearing Xixi's reminder, Pei Sining hurriedly covered the bamboo basket and looked around anxiously.

"Brother Wang, where are Lord Chen and Brother Zhu?"

"We are here."

Chen Xiang led the group out from the other side of the maze. Some of them had sustained minor injuries while entering the maze.

"Is everyone alright? Let's get out of here, the maned wolves are coming."

After discovering that someone was injured, Pei Sining quickly went forward to check on everyone's condition.

Zhu Chenfeng shook his head solemnly, looking anxiously at the surrounding walls. "When we were looking for you, we had already walked around this place and found that it's a maze."

"We can't get out of here. If we encounter maned wolves here, we'll only die."

What's there to be afraid of! Mazes are man-made; there's bound to be a way out.

[Going out isn't the hard part; the real challenge is getting everyone on the same page. If everyone isn't united, it's easy to be swayed by the wolves.]

It is said that maned wolves possess the power to bewitch people, revealing the most greedy side of their hearts.

Now that everyone is so close to the maned wolf, they are easily misled.

Just as everyone was worried about not being able to get out, Xixi's intermittent prompts reached Chen Xiang and the others' ears.

Pei Sining first absorbed the incomplete reminders, and then put the fragmented words together.

His expression changed drastically in an instant, and he looked at everyone with a look of horror, "Oh no, everyone get out of here quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Haocheng's guards drew their crescent blades and brandished them at the crowd, muttering to themselves.

"Wang Haocheng, you hypocrite! You clearly have a map to the treasure, why don't you share it with the brothers?"

"You know perfectly well that Lao Jin's wife is about to give birth and his mother is sick and needs money. You could have easily taken the brothers to get the treasure and solved these problems."

"But in the end, you actually led your brothers into danger in order to save the little girl from the Zhu family."

Jin Fu never expected that Lao Jiang, who had followed his boss for many years, would suddenly lose his mind. He shouted excitedly.

"Old Chiang, are you crazy? Put the knife down!"

Hey, don't move, let Xixi do it.

Let's see how Xixi deals with this maned wolf.

Xixi lay in the bamboo basket, waving her bracelet and spraying water towards Lao Jiang's mouth.

After drinking the spring water that Xixi splashed over, Old Jiang recovered instantly and looked at everyone blankly.

Upon discovering that he was holding a crescent-shaped knife, he was shocked and hurriedly threw it away.

Seeing that Lao Jiang had returned to normal, Xi Xi took out a bottle of spring water from her bracelet.

Then, she took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and burst into tears, looking out at the bamboo basket.

[Look, Xixi! This water can help ease the mane wolf's control.]

Sure enough, Xixi's crying attracted Zhu Chenfeng and the others, who all gathered behind Wang Haocheng and opened the bamboo basket.

Even Chen Xiang quickly stepped forward to check on Xixi, "What's wrong, little girl? Are you hungry?"

After Zhu Chenfeng opened the bamboo basket, Xixi stopped crying and smiled, lifting the bottled water with both hands and shoulders.

"At this time?"

"Third brother, is Xixi offering us water?"

Upon hearing Xixi's suggestion and learning that the bottled water could alleviate the wolf's control, Zhu Haotai pretended to be clueless and offered his suggestion.

Zhu Chenfeng nodded, took out the bottled water, and then picked up Xixi. "Xixi, drink first. You haven't eaten anything all day."

Xi Xi wasn't hungry; instead, she was worried that Zhu Chenfeng would dawdle and waste time. She angrily puffed out her cheeks and turned her face away.

[Third Uncle, Xixi isn't thirsty, you guys drink up!]

The maned wolf is coming! Get out of here!

After understanding Xixi's meaning, Chen Xiang smiled and stepped forward to take the water bottle from Zhu Chenfeng.

“If Xixi won’t drink, I will.”

After taking a small sip of water, Chen Xiang distributed it to everyone present, ensuring that each person could have a small sip.

After everyone had drunk from the spring, Pei Sining breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the passage behind her, saying, "Everyone, follow me and don't get separated."

Upon hearing this, everyone followed and headed towards the dark passage ahead.

Just as Pei Sining and the others left, Zhu Yanyan caught up on her maned wolf, looking blankly at the empty surroundings.

"That's strange. Logically, these people, bewitched by the maned wolves, should be killing each other. Why is there no one here?"
