She was the eldest daughter of the An family, a prominent medical lineage, pampered and cherished since childhood. However, due to an accident involving her family's heirloom ring, she unexpect...
The road is endless, but there will always be a moment when people's mental and physical strength are exhausted. There is no target to attack and no goal to crack. People are imprisoned underground and have no idea where to go.
Such a monotonous scene makes people confused. Even when they look back, they can no longer tell which way is the way they came and where they want to go.
If you allow your mind and body to continue moving forward in this straight corridor with no destination, then the end of this road will definitely point to silent death.
Now An Yu even missed that murderous sea of thorns, which at least provided some clear evidence of their direction.
Jun Zichen's expression was very solemn.
He looked at An Yu, An Ran, Su Fanjun and Xu Errong apologetically, finding it difficult to answer the doubts in their eyes.
Because he was not sure what caused this secret realm to appear in such an unreasonable way?
Jun Zichen was probably the first to discover that there was something wrong with this passage. He then tried to search for other texts left by his predecessors on the roads on both sides, but what was puzzling was...
Even Xiaohuo, with his sharp eyesight, couldn't find any other scratches in the cracks. This passageway showed absolutely no signs of anyone having been there before!
It was as if the person who was full of confidence in finding another exit suddenly disappeared from the world after stepping onto this straight road, leaving no trace behind.
There were no corpses, no broken weapons, no sword marks or curses left on the walls. It seemed as if the first wave of visitors to this secret place with fresh air in thousands of years were only An Yu, An Ran, Su Fanjun, Xu Errong and Jun Zichen!
"Is it a maze? Or an illusion? I'd like to give it a try."
An Ran was already extremely fed up with the monotony in front of him. He stretched out his right hand and blasted a flaming technique directly towards the high rock wall on the side.
Sometimes when you are blinded by the road, you should no longer confine yourself to chaos. Why should you move forward according to the intention of the creator of the secret realm?
If there is no road, just build one for yourself!
An Ran, who had never been bound by any rules, quickly came up with an alternative approach.
boom!
A powerful magical energy instantly burst out from Yaorao's hand, and hit the wall directly with powerful force.
With a loud bang and flying rocks, the powerful destructive sword energy immediately blasted a huge crack in the stone wall!
"I'll help you too!"
Jun Zichen looked at An Ran and smiled. He understood what An Ran meant. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were nothing. If they were capable enough to break through the mountain wall, then they would not have to follow the established path to find an exit!
Jun Zichen drew out the soft sword from his waist. As he moved, a sharp sword light lit up in the cave, mixed with the momentum of destroying the world, and directly turned the crack that An Ran had smashed open into a huge hole!
This move is indeed incredibly powerful!
The momentum of An Ran and Jun Zichen's actions seemed to imply that they would not go through the door, but directly create a gap in the direction they wanted to go and walk out.
Xu Errong and An Yu's eyes widened as they peered into the new hole where the rubble had flown out. Unfortunately, the endless corridor beneath this secret tree hole wasn't a single room; simply breaking through a wall would allow them to escape from the narrow, enclosed space.
Under the cave that An Ran and Jun Zichen had smashed open together, what they saw was still a thick stone wall.
An Ran couldn't help but frown. How could this cave always be like this? Wasn't he going somewhere directly along the path they were taking?
Jun Zichen also showed a solemn expression on his face. He knew exactly how much strength he had used in that attack. If it were in the outside world, then, well, it would not be a problem to cut a huge rock that several people could hug in half!
But here, he only cut about ten meters into the mountain wall. This made him think deeply. Was there some unknown barrier on the mountain wall, or was the stone inside inherently tougher than the stone outside?
What should we do now?
If they continue to move forward, there is no doubt that they will continue to walk like this, walking aimlessly until they die silently.
But were they just going to give up like this? Just go back? They had come here through so much hardship, how could they just give up?
An inexplicable feeling of irritation rose among the four of them. Except for Su Fanjun, who was still lost in thought, the other four felt confused...
At this time, Xiaohuo seemed to have discovered something. He jumped out of Anran's arms and ran straight in the direction they came from!
"Xiaohuo!" An Ran shouted in surprise and hurriedly chased after him!
An Yu, Xu Errong and Jun Zichen had no choice but to follow An Ran back in the direction they came from!
Su Fanjun had been following the three of them in a trance...
Although they were going back the way they came, the three of them didn't hesitate for a moment! They wouldn't find the end of the road if they continued forward anyway, so following An Ran to find the lost Xiao Huo seemed the most reliable thing to do right now.
Turn back in the direction you came from.
After a while, Jun Zichen's brows twisted. He looked at the walls around him and hummed in confusion: "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Errong raised his eyebrows and looked at Jun Zichen and asked, because he knew that Jun Zichen was not the kind of person who would be surprised by trivial things, especially since Jun Zichen had almost acted as their leader along the way.
"When we came here, I left traces on both sides of the road, for fear of falling into a trap or getting lost, but now..." Jun Zichen expressed his doubts.
"Those traces are gone now, aren't they?"
Reminded by Jun Zichen, An Ran also distracted herself to look at the surrounding scenery. Although she did not leave marks on both sides of the road with her sword every five steps and every ten steps like Jun Zichen, thanks to her vast spiritual world, her memory was surprisingly good!
Not to mention that she still remembered all the strange rocks and uneven ground she had encountered since she came here, at least the scenery within a thousand meters behind her was clearly imprinted in her mind.
She could count with her eyes closed where a stone had an extra corner, where a point protruded from the ground.
But now everything in front of her... gave her a completely unfamiliar feeling, as if she had never set foot in this scene from the beginning to the end!
"Something's weird!" An Yu shouted after the two of them. Anyone with a little memory would feel that something was wrong.
There is clearly only one road, either the way to go or the way back. Why is it that when we return by the same route, the road we take is completely different?
