Bai Xiuyuan lowered his head. "Captain, I'm sorry, I made the wrong choice."
"Don't say sorry, we're a team, whatever decision you make is right."
Yun Yan moved his wrist. "The formation is not in the real world. The evil spirits here may not be this strong."
"Leave the rest to me."
Yun Yan charged into the horde of vengeful spirits, his gaze unwavering.
There were too many ghosts for Bai Xiuyuan to see their moves clearly. Flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, and the captain's back hunched over more and more as suppressed coughs were heard.
Bai Xiuyuan quickly asked, "Captain, how are you?"
He desperately wanted to help but couldn't; there were still four doors waiting for the two of them, and he had to conserve his strength to choose the door of life.
Yun Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "It's nothing. The Five Thunders of the Divine Firmament Sect are not just for show. These vengeful ghosts are alright."
He raised the money sword high and shouted eight words.
"Thunderous shock, slay the evil spirit!!!"
Thick bolts of lightning, carrying an unstoppable force, struck the vengeful spirits from all directions.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The lightning disappeared, leaving only Yun Yan on the open ground. He had more than a dozen wounds on his body and was gripping the Money Sword tightly with both hands to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
Bai Xiuyuan rushed forward and supported the swaying captain.
He asked with a worried look, "Captain, are you alright?"
"It's alright." Yun Yan forced a smile. "The vengeful spirits inside the formation are not as strong as those outside. You can choose any of them next time. I can kill all the vengeful spirits again."
He spoke lightly, but Bai Xiuyuan was deeply worried.
The captain was injured in one incident. What should they do if they choose another inauspicious gate, or even a death gate?
Now is not the time to worry; think carefully about how to choose the right birth gate.
As the two arrived at the fifth door, a scorching heat rushed towards them.
"It's so hot." Bai Xiuyuan's face turned red from the heat, and he struggled to open his eyes. "This is... the Flaming Mountain?"
A meter away from the two people, lava was churning in the volcano, and sparks flying out hit their feet, instantly melting a large hole.
If a spark were to hit either of them, the consequences would be very serious.
If the volcano erupts, they will die in the scalding lava.
Bai Xiuyuan concentrated and silently chanted, "Find the way out, find the way out..."
Eight directions swirl in my mind, eventually pointing to one direction.
"Here, move aside."
Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Yan grabbed his hand and rushed south.
While dodging the scalding lava, Bai Xiuyuan ran into the white light, then suddenly opened his eyes, "No, I'm wrong again this time."
Before them lay a massive maze, with walls about ten meters high on either side and winding paths, making it impossible to see what lay ahead.
This is the Gate of Obstruction, signifying blockage. What lies ahead is not just the maze, but certainly something else.
Yun Yan took the lead and walked forward. "Don't be afraid, let's go."
Bai Xiuyuan clenched his fingers and forced himself to follow, but he made the wrong choice again.
The captain already has five long wounds on his back, and he's about to get injured again.
Bai Xiuyuan's eyes welled up with tears, and he whispered, "Captain, I'm sorry..."
As the two turned a corner, a mutated tiger stood in front of them, roaring at them.
"roar--!"
To escape this maze, you must defeat the tiger.
Using the wall as cover, Yun Yan leaped onto the tiger's head with his sword and pierced its skull with a single strike.
The tiger collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Next, they encountered zombies, werewolves, giant lizards, vampires...
One sword strike after another, Yun Yan's clothes were already stained red with blood, and he was trembling all over.
Bai Xiuyuan couldn't distinguish which blood belonged to the captain and which belonged to others.
What if I choose the wrong option again?
The sixth formation was activated, and the chirping of birds rang out continuously.
Bai Xiuyuan opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a dense forest, somewhat like the mountains and forests he had passed through on his way here.
This place looks very safe; there is no lava or mudslides.
Hiss hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss...
Bai Xiuyuan was stunned. "Snakes, so many snakes."
Thousands of snakes emerged from the woods, each over ten meters long.
The giant snake opened its mouth, revealing its venomous fangs.
If you get bitten, you will not only be poisoned, but a large chunk of your flesh will also be torn off.
Yun Yan remained in front, his hand gripping the coin sword trembling. "Leave these snakes to me, you quickly find the door."
The captain said to find the door, not the exit.
Bai Xiuyuan bit his lower lip. Even the captain didn't believe him?
No! The captain always believed in him and was afraid that he would make the wrong choice again, which would put him under psychological pressure.
"Cough cough cough..." Yun Yan coughed heavily a few times, and his right hand gradually turned blackish-purple.
Bai Xiuyuan shouted anxiously, "Captain, you've been poisoned!"
"It's alright."
Yun Yan squeezed out three words, switched the money sword to his left hand, and continued to slash at the giant snake.
He sliced three snakes in half with a single sword stroke, wiped the blood from his face, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Bai Xiuyuan, I believe in your abilities, and I also believe in the renowned Tianxing Sect."
Bai Xiuyuan suddenly looked up. His captain had always believed in him, and he couldn't let his captain down.
The Heavenly Star Sect and its secret techniques extend far beyond this.
Even without a compass, he could discern directions and find the true gate of life.
"Compass, pointer..."
Bai Xiuyuan's mind flashed through the contents of the Heavenly Star Secret Technique, page one, page two... until the last page.
The first of the Celestial Star Secrets is the Star Measurement Step.
He understood.
Without a compass, use yourself as the compass and your feet as the pointer, step on the ground to locate yourself, and find the way out.
