Chapter 464 [(*^▽^*)]

The three reached an agreement and took out their own props from their backpacks. They could all escape the ghost wall, but the props they used were different, as long as the effect was the same.

After using the item, Jiang Changdong returned to the vicinity of the graveyard. Still in a place away from the graveyard, he used the item to check and confirmed that he had indeed left the ghost wall. However, this time, he would have to go around the graveyard to move forward, otherwise he would have to use the item again if he were to be caught in the ghost wall again.

He looked around but didn't see Lü Yan and Qin Yan. "Where did they go?"

Jiang Changdong waited in place for a while, taking the opportunity to use the tools to clean the smell off himself. He managed to remove most of the stench and breathed a sigh of relief once the strong odor was gone.

He waited for several minutes but the other two still hadn't appeared. "Could they have gone somewhere else?"

He didn't intend to wait there indefinitely. If no one showed up, was he supposed to keep waiting? Not seeing anyone, Jiang Changdong packed his things, looked in another direction, and walked around the cemetery.

Meanwhile, Qin Yan and Lü Yan were separated. However, they were in a place near the Ghost Wall, and before they could even take two steps, they were captured by the Ghost Wall again.

Looking at the empty graveyard, Lü Yan was surprised to find herself back in this place after using the item to leave. "Should I use it again?"

She had also lost sight of Jiang Changdong and Qin Yan. The two must have been separated from her. She wondered if it was a trick by the monster controlling the maze, separating them and then capturing them all at once.

"Wait! Although using the item temporarily freed us from the maze, we were separated, and now..."

Lu Yan's lips twitched. This ghost was really clever. It knew how to use a trick to separate them. If they hadn't used the props before, although they couldn't leave temporarily, they wouldn't have been separated.

"Phew... We really fell for it!" Lü Yan's face was very ugly. If the three of them were together, it shouldn't be difficult to win, but now that they were being defeated one by one... it might be very difficult for her.

"The only good thing is that there's no longer a foul smell inside this ghost wall."

There was no foul smell on Lü Yan's side, and the same was true for Qin Yan. Less than half a minute after leaving the ghost wall, she had only taken a couple of steps to get away from the graveyard, but she was unexpectedly caught by the ghost wall again. There was no foul smell in the ghost wall she was in.

So where is that smelly, ghostly maze? Needless to say, it's over by Jiang Changdong.

When Jiang Changdong smelled the familiar stench again, he knew where he was. He covered his nose, his face contorted with rage as he stared at the familiar graveyard and the familiar tombstones, gritting his teeth!

At this moment, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui were not paying much attention to the situation behind them. They were standing on a cliff, and according to the route on the map, they had to go down this cliff. The rest of the way was below the cliff. Fortunately, the cliff was only about fifty meters high.

Xue Rui looked around and said, "This tree is probably used to tie ropes. I have a rope ladder in my backpack."

Lin Leyou said, "Since we have a rope ladder, let's use it. It's simple and convenient. We can just tie the rope tightly here to prevent accidents when we go down."

Xue Rui nodded and took out a rope ladder from his backpack. After they finished setting it up, they found that the bottom of the rope ladder was still about five meters away from the ground.

Is it okay to jump directly from a height of five meters? It's not impossible. Given their physical condition, it's unlikely they would get injured from five meters. They just need to be a little careful.

Xue Rui said, “Brother Lin, look, there seem to be some chisel marks and indentations on these stone walls. When we go down, we can climb these indentations to make the last few meters without rope ladders safe.”

Lin Leyou observed carefully and said, "There are indeed artificially carved depressions, but they have probably been covered by some plants and soil over time. No wonder I didn't notice them earlier."

The two safely descended the cliff via a rope ladder. The path that appeared before them was much better than before. It was a gravel path, and although it was quite narrow and the weeds on both sides were taller than a person, it looked very pleasant.

Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, shall we keep going?"

Lin Leyou asked hesitantly, "Is this rope ladder just placed here? Our mission is to kill everyone, which means it's different from the previous missions; we don't actually need to go back."

Xue Rui said, "In that case, let's dismantle this rope ladder."

Lin Leyou nodded, "That's what I was thinking too. Let the puppet go up and dismantle it; it'll be easier."

The two of them placed puppets on the rope ladder and watched it from above using monitoring equipment. Then they controlled the puppets to dismantle the rope ladder, and Xue Rui slowly put the rope ladder away.

Lin Leyou looked at the path in front of him, which seemed to lead nowhere. "These weeds are taller than a person. I always feel like something might jump out at any moment."

Xue Rui opened the map to check, "I haven't found anything here yet. Should we send the puppet out first?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "To be on the safe side, let the puppet go first. By the way, release your monitoring ball too. Let's observe first. Xiushan Village should be just ahead."

Below the cliff is a pebbly path, and the cliff is not just on one side, but also on the other side, so the path is sandwiched in the middle. Logically speaking, after passing through here and crossing two more mountains, you should be able to see Xiushan Village.

All thirty monitoring spheres were released, and the two remained in place watching the monitors. Of course, the map was also open so that they could check for any emergencies. Each of them took out a puppet and controlled it to move forward.

Even after the puppet crossed the canyon and arrived at an open area, nothing unusual happened. No strange icons were added to the map, and no anomalies were detected in the surveillance footage.

Lin Leyou said, "It seems this road should be safe."

Xue Rui squinted at the weeds in front of him, then controlled his puppet to quickly return, and then pounced into the surrounding weeds, jumping around.

Lin Leyou blinked. Of course he knew what Xue Rui was doing, so he controlled his puppet to do something similar. The result was that there was nothing in the weeds.

Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief. "There's nothing here. Let's go."

Lin Leyou smiled and nodded, "There's really nothing here, but we can leave some fun things behind, like how about burying a few landmines?"

Xue Rui blinked. "Brother Lin is so thoughtful. Let's plant a few landmines then."

They planted two landmines along the road, but not many. If they planted too many, they would be easily discovered and their points would be wasted. Two would be enough.

After they passed through the canyon, they smiled at each other and continued forward, letting the monitoring ball and the puppet go ahead to scout the way, while the two of them followed behind, observing the situation and making some small movements.

They had never thought of doing these things before, but Lin Leyou had gone on and on. He hadn't thought of it before, but now that he had, he was determined to annoy the people who came after him in every way possible.

"How about this? If we put this here, they'll definitely fall for it!"

Xue Rui nodded, "That's good. I have something else here that can be used together with it, and the effect will definitely be even better."

Lin Leyou, "And this and this..."

The two were very cunning and set up many traps along the way, some minor and some deadly. In the end, even they themselves didn't know how many points they had spent or how many items they had used.

Lin Leyou suddenly said, "If one of them gets the treasure and heads back, and we come after them, won't we fall into their trap?"

Xue Rui: "No, we just need to avoid this road. It's all prepared for them anyway."

Lin Leyou nodded, "That's right, let's continue like this."

At this moment, they were still one mountain away from Xiushan Village, and they stood halfway up the mountain looking ahead.

Lin Leyou said, "It's cloudy today... I wonder when it will clear up. Xiushan Village... We'll be there once we cross that mountain. I never imagined this village was so well hidden."

Xue Rui said, "If it's not well hidden, the enemies of the people who built this village back then probably won't give up so easily. After all, it's said that the person offended many powerful people."

Lin Leyou, "Let's go, let's..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw something flash by in front of him. The two of them opened the map at the same time and found that a cute little snake icon had appeared next to their two green dots.

Great, judging from the icon, you'd think it was some cute little animal, but what appeared before them was a python thicker than a bucket. They wondered if this python ate people or if it was poisonous.

Xue Rui: "It seems like this snake is observing us."

Lin Leyou watched as the snake would occasionally flick its tongue and constantly gather the surrounding scents, and he knew that it was planning to hunt, and the prey was the two of them.

Lin Leyou: "Isn't this distance a bit dangerous? Should we try leaving quickly?"

Xue Rui nodded, "Want to take a speed potion?"

Lin Leyou had no objection, "Eat, and run away as soon as you're done!"

Both of them took speed potions at the same time and ran straight down the mountain. They quickly widened the distance between themselves and the snake. When they checked the map, they saw a small snake icon chasing them down, but it was moving slowly, and they soon gained the upper hand.

Finally, perhaps realizing they had run too fast and too far, they simply stopped chasing and returned to their original position to wait for the next batch of prey.

They both breathed a sigh of relief and slowly came to a stop.
