As Xu Xianxian, Lin Kongzhi, Luxianmen and others reached a temporary reconciliation and headed towards the underground cave together, the descenders such as Sparrow on the other side were also rushing on the road deep in the fog.

They had encountered a Taoist from the Luxian Sect before, and after a fight for a while, they got the map of this place, so they missed the good opportunity to meet up with Lin Kongzhi.

"I feel like we're lost here."

Sparrow stroked the indentations on the paper map and glanced at the white mist beside him. He couldn't see anything at all at this moment and could only feel that there was someone nearby.

“Is the route on this map wrong?”

The woman in the white dress stood beside her and also couldn't see the sparrow, but that didn't stop her from making sounds.

"No, I can feel that the map should be real..." Sparrow paused for a few seconds and continued, "It's just that everything around here is constantly changing, like a moving maze. And this map may only be useful for a certain period of time."

The route on the map may not be wrong. The reason why you are lost is that the structure here is constantly changing.

"Just feel it!" Sparrow pointed to a spot not far from his feet. Although his vision was blocked, his sense of touch was still there. "Just now this was a three-way intersection, but now there's only one."

"It was clearly fine before, but maybe the deeper you go, the more changes occur."

Next to him was another young man with a few braids and a slightly literary air, who was stroking his cheek with some distress.

This person was also a descender of Lin Kongzhi's camp mission. They happened to meet on the road and formed a short alliance together.

"Time is running out. We may be doomed to be wiped out..."

The woman in the white dress was silent for a moment and sighed pessimistically.

If the mission took longer, then even if you got lost in the maze, you would still have a chance to slowly find a way out, but the maintenance of the Bloodwood Gate was limited.

Including the time they had been here since entering, they had already been here for five days. There were only two or three days left before the Bloodwood Gate closed. This time was extremely tight; not only was it impossible to complete the mission, but even escaping the fog and finding the Immortal Slaughter Gate was uncertain.

Not to mention finding the location of the Luxian Sect but not meeting Lin Kongzhi and the little girl, all the efforts would be in vain.

"Don't rush to define it. There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain." Sparrow was very optimistic and patted the woman in the white dress on the shoulder. "As Adventers, we have been born and died in many worlds. What kind of horror scenes have we not encountered?"

"But the Crimson Book controls everything, even restricting the growth of our power. As a result, no matter which world we are in, we are never the main characters, just cannon fodder to assist fate." The woman in the white dress sighed and said somewhat unwillingly, "Although we have a lot of intelligence information, it means nothing in front of those powerful indigenous people. It's really too sad!"

The Adventers are a group of people who are not very talented, but are relatively strong in some aspects, so their strength and luck are not even as good as any genius in the world they were born in.

No matter which world they are sent to, the process of completing their mission never relies on absolute force to crush others, but rather on the power of the indigenous strongmen to achieve the goal of outsmarting them.

But among them, there are also encounters with indigenous monsters who are more intelligent and powerful. When encountering such almighty opponents, it is common for the entire army to be wiped out.

"Yeah... We're just puppets controlled by the Dark Crimson Book. We haven't even retained our basic personalities." The literary youth also sighed, but a few colorful glints in his eyes inexplicably flashed, "Now we're going to be wiped out..."

The other two were also silent, and their emotions seemed very low as they were about to face the fate of being wiped out.

There is something extremely sad and depressing spreading among these people.

Only Sparrow frowned, noticing something was amiss. She couldn't help but yell, "Wait! What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so pessimistic?! No...! Something's wrong here... Damn it!"

Then she felt a needle prick at the corner of her eye, and immediately reached out and pulled hard. A twisting colorful worm was pulled out of her eye socket, with a lot of colorful sticky liquid on it.

“Wow wow—”

After the colorful worm was pulled out, it immediately let out a baby-like cry.

"What the hell is this..."

Just as Sparrow was about to take a closer look, the crying sound disappeared along with the colorful worm, and his fingers were still smooth and spotless, without any stain of colored liquid.

"Was that an illusion...?" Sparrow touched the corner of her eye in doubt. There was no sticky liquid there, but this made her expression even more embarrassed. "Oh no! This is some kind of high-intensity mental pollution!"

Then she gritted her teeth and without any hesitation, took out a blue gem that looked like an eyeball from her arms, bit her index finger directly, and dripped a drop of thick black blood on it.

"Agura... Sphinx... The blue shepherd sleeping in the sky... Kawadanku, Patchi Uwel... I beg the Supreme Ni... for guidance, to open up the sacred in the ocean of spirit..."

The sparrow's lips began to murmur, and as the ancient and mysterious spell sounded, sometimes high and sometimes low, the drop of blood flowed into the pupil of the gem, and then the entire eye gem began to emit a light blue light.

The light was a little weak, but extremely bright, and it was particularly dazzling in the white mist. With a crisp "ding" sound, the entire eyeball gem shattered instantly, and then exploded directly in Sparrow's hand, turning into a light blue light curtain, covering all five people present.

The scattered eye gems formed a blue film on everyone's body surface. Then after a few seconds, the blue film gradually faded and melted into their skin.

Threads of colorful liquid were expelled from under the feet of the five people, drilled into the soil like a living thing, and then disappeared.

"We...what just happened?!"

The woman in white dress and the others were not deeply contaminated, they just didn't notice it for a while. When they recovered now, they immediately realized that something was wrong with their previous situation.

"We've been spiritually contaminated." Sparrow glanced at the blue light that had merged into his skin and said in a deep voice, "If I hadn't used the Eye of Agula in time to cast a purification spell, it would have been difficult to recover."

Although it seemed that the degree of their mental pollution was not serious, Sparrow had come across similar cases before and knew that as time went by, the severity of this pollution would increase exponentially. If one was not careful, they would turn into soulless monsters.

Just as the woman in the white dress was about to speak, a clear child's voice suddenly rang out near them.

"Wow... it smells like my sister..."

Such a slightly childish and cute voice seemed particularly strange in such a situation.
