Chapter 256 Call for Help



Li Nian retracted his bone claws and only then could he see clearly who was coming.

Xia Mu in sportswear and the loli with twin pigtails in servant clothes were looking at them with innocent faces.

"Sorry, my friends, I thought you were..."

Li Nian's face was full of apologies. He briefly explained the situation here to the two of them, and then said with some annoyance.

"In fact, if I hadn't insisted on completing this mission and killing Ma Zhengjun, our team wouldn't have ended up in this dungeon."

He looked at the dejected team members, his tone full of apology.

Xia Mu lowered his head in thought.

This dungeon looks like a huge maze.

Even a team of psychics could be trapped inside, which shows how hidden its exit is.

At least in the short term, they couldn't find a way out.

However, as long as the air does not become thinner, it means that this dungeon is definitely not a dead end and there will always be an exit.

The Demon-Breaking Eyes that can see through stones have lost their effectiveness here.

The soil in the dungeon seems to possess some kind of power that can prevent the Demon-Breaking Eye from penetrating through, and even emits a mysterious power that affects people's minds.

It seems that people feel despair without realizing it.

The longer they stay here, the worse it will be for them.

"Since we haven't found Ma Zhengjun yet, that means there are still places here that we haven't explored. Let's split up and search in groups of three. If we encounter any problems, call out loudly. Maybe we can find the exit sooner."

Xia Mu used the Kitetsu sword to draw a five-pointed star on the wall, and at the same time drew a circle outside the five-pointed star.

"Everyone, use this as a marker. Every hundred meters, make a five-pointed star. If this is the second time you encounter this mark, draw a circle around it. Each time you encounter it, draw another circle."

"Remember, each fork in the road must be explored from right to left, and each mark can only be made on the right-hand wall in the direction we are heading."

Everyone thought about it for a moment and nodded.

Especially Li Nian, after figuring out the meaning of Xia Mu's arrangement, he looked at him in surprise.

Anyone who can come up with this idea must have a clear mind.

Maybe, we can really find a way out.

After the discussion, everyone divided into three groups and began to explore in various directions.

After learning about the existence of the uncertain factor Arima Zhengjun, Xia Mu became more cautious.

I just felt it and I think Li Nian’s strength is not weak. At least he is a strong man who has broken through the first level of genetic lock.

Anyone who could cut off one of his arms and escape from his hands must be as strong as him.

Moreover, dark spores are quite familiar to Xia Mu.

This thing can parasitize humans, slowly control their thoughts, and even strengthen their bodies.

As time goes by, who knows what unexpected things might happen.

Time passed minute by minute. Xia Mu and Tang Tang turned right when they came to an intersection. They walked for nearly two hours and finally saw the mark they had made at a corner.

A five-pointed star without a circle.

This was their second time walking down this road.

This means that if you keep turning right, the road will eventually form a circle.

After drawing a circle on the five-pointed star.

This time they decided to explore to the left when they came across a fork in the road.

There are so many forking paths in the underground lair that it’s shocking.

Even if three teams were exploring in different directions, it would be quite difficult to find the correct exit.

As time passed, even Xia Mu himself began to waver in his heart.

Can they really get out of this underground lair?

I don’t know how long it took, but when Xia Mu saw the five-pointed star again, he finally stopped in despair.

This was the last path he wanted to explore in this direction, and now he has returned to the starting point.

This means that these forks in the road correspond to different circles, and after several intersections, you will eventually arrive here.

Now all the forks in the road are marked with a five-pointed star with a circle.

There was definitely no exit in his direction.

"If we continue exploring like this, I'm afraid we'll either die of exhaustion or starve to death."

Tang Tang rubbed her belly and sat aside with a pout.

She didn't want to stay in this place for even a minute.

Xia Mu was fine and could see in the dark.

She was completely useless and could only follow Xia Mu in the dark.

Can't help much.

"This direction is wrong, so let's change it. There are only four directions anyway, so we will find it sooner or later."

Xia Mu suppressed his anxiety and said softly, "Let's go and see how far Li Nian and the others have explored."

Just about to get up.

Suddenly, a gust of air erupted from behind them.

The air wave rushed along the corridor in front of the two people, raising a large amount of dust.

Soon, screams were heard in the passage.

Xia Mu's eyes narrowed and he reacted almost instantly.

He pulled Tang Tang up and rushed towards the sound.

"Help, help me!"

The shouts echoed in the corridor, especially clear.

Xia Mu recognized that this was the psychic in Li Nian's team who was responsible for treatment, and immediately quickened his pace.

If he remembered correctly, Li Nian was in the same team as this healing psychic.

They should be together.

Soon, Xia Mu arrived at an open space the size of a classroom.

In this open space, there are eight corridor entrances and exits at both ends of the wall.

At this time, five-pointed star marks were made next to most entrances.

Only the last three have not been explored yet.

And just in front of these three entrances, the healing psychic was lying on the ground, crying weakly.

Xia Mu hurried to his side and checked his injuries.

It's not a big problem, just some fractures in the leg bones, and the rest are just skin injuries.

"What happened? Where's your captain?"

Xia Mu's sudden voice startled the psychic.

"Hurry, hurry and save our captain! He's in this third-to-last passage. We've been ambushed by Ma Zhengjun here! The captain and the others have been injured by him in order to protect me!"

Hearing what this person said, Xia Mu didn't think twice and pulled Tang Tang into the passage.

As soon as he entered, he felt the difference here.

Because in this passage, he actually felt the wind!

Maybe this passage is really the only way to the outside world!

Xia Mu couldn't help but speed up. After entering the black steel state, his physical fitness was almost comparable to steel.

Take a step forward and step on the wall, and deep footprints will immediately be left.

Just like that, he pulled Tang Tang and ran along the wall.

After running thousands of meters in the channel.

Xia Mu suddenly realized something, his body suddenly froze, and his legs stabbed into the wall like sharp knives.

"No, that's not right."
