Chapter 3697: Evaporated out of thin air
"I'm fine! Mr. Zhao, are you not injured?" Xu Lingzhu asked.
"No injury!" Zhao Xu replied.
Xu Lingzhu stood up, rubbed his sore hands, and said: "It seems that this method will not work. The person who can set up such a large formation barrier must be a person with advanced cultivation. Even I can't come close to him.
Moreover, this place is so secretive that it is estimated that the labyrinth laid by this senior will last at least hundreds of years, or even thousands of years."
"It seems that we have no choice. We must choose one of the seven tunnel entrances. Only if we all choose the right one can we meet."
"That's what it should be like!"
Xu Lingzhu suggested: "There will definitely be dangerous things at the entrances to these seven secret passages. Let's meditate first to recover some physical and internal strength before taking action!"
"That's fine!" Zhao Xu responded.
Anyway, the air here is smooth, so you don’t have to worry about being suffocated to death. It’s just perfect for meditating and refining your Qi.
The two of them sat on the floor and began to meditate.
A few hours later, the two of them finished meditating one after another.
Zhao Xu told Xu Lingzhu that he would choose the first secret path.
Xu Lingzhu said, then I will choose the first secret path too!
So, the two of them got ready and entered the first secret passage at the same time.
If you can't get it right, the seven secret passages will be arranged separately and reorganized. To choose the correct pair of secret passages, there are at least more than 300 combinations.
In the absence of food and water, Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu simply could not hold on for that long.
What's more, even if they get out of the maze and reunite the two, they may not be able to escape.
It can be said that Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu are racing against time.
Just after the two entered the secret passage, Ge Tianzong from the "Heaven and Earth Alliance" reopened the trap mechanism.
In Zhao Kang's words, he wanted to treat Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu both alive and dead.
Otherwise, even if he knew that Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu were bound to die, it would not make Zhao Kang feel at ease.
Ge Tianzong agreed to Zhao Kang's request.
After all, he also wished that Zhao Xu died.
If Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu really dug a tunnel and escaped, for Ge Tianzong, it would be the same as letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
At this time, it had been nearly eighteen hours since Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu fell into the trap.
If Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu had not escaped, they would have suffocated in the tunnel.
Ge Tianzong ordered his men to dig out the collapsed tunnel again and make sure to find Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu.
Because the tunnel had been dug by Zhao Xu before. Therefore, it was particularly easy for the people of the Tiandi Alliance to dig it.
Coupled with their large numbers, they quickly dug up the collapsed area.
After digging, the people from the Tiandi Alliance followed the tunnel and looked inside.
As a result, when they arrived at the place where Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu dug, it was clear that the tunnel had not been dug through, but the strange thing was that the two people disappeared out of thin air.
When Zhao Kang learned of this situation, he personally brought people to check it out.
At the end of the tunnel, there were knife marks that had just been cut.
Judging from the marks made by cutting the earth, it should not have taken more than six hours.
What puzzled Zhao Kang was that both Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu were missing.
Judging from the surrounding situation, only the soil under my feet was too messy.
So Zhao Kang ordered people to dig downwards.
But after digging three feet deep, there was still earth.
In desperation, Zhao Kang had to give up.
He ordered the people of the "Heaven and Earth Alliance" to dig the tunnel and fill Zhao Xu to death.
In this way, even if Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu are lucky enough to be alive, they will die because of the tunnel filling.
After getting out of the trap, Zhao Kang told Ge Tianzong about the incident.
Ge Tianzong looked shocked and exclaimed: "You mean Zhao Xu and that woman are missing?"
"Yes, it's gone!"
Zhao Kang explained: "They obviously didn't dig out that tunnel, but both of them disappeared. It's like Ping's family has evaporated!"
"This...how is this possible?"
Zhao Kang said helplessly: "I don't believe that such a weird thing will happen. But it is the fact."
"In my opinion, the two of them are in danger."
"I hope so!"
Ge Tianzong had a complicated look on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Not seeing the bodies of Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu in the tunnel also made Zhao Kang uneasy.
What Zhao Kang couldn't figure out was, how could two living people just disappear?
In the maze!
After Zhao Xu entered the secret passage No. 1, he walked at least five hundred meters away.
Suddenly, the hole was filled with spiders.
Each of those spiders was the size of a fist. The secret passage was filled with spider webs one after another, entangled in the spider webs, which looked very scary.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu frowned.
He took out his fish-gut sword and slashed at the spider web hanging in the hole.
A burst of sword energy directly split those spider webs.
The spiders were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
Zhao Xu originally thought that these furry beasts would attack him, but unexpectedly, all the spiders that had lost their webs and were as big as fists disappeared.
"Miss Xu!"
"Miss Xu!..."
Zhao Xu tried calling a few times, trying to test whether Xu Lingzhu was in the same secret passage as himself.
But after shouting several times, Xu Lingzhu didn't answer.
It’s really weird here!
It was obvious that the two of them entered the same secret passage. Even though the distance they walked out would be different, the shouting sound came from Zhao Xu's internal power and Xu Lingzhu's ear power.
When she heard Zhao Xu's call, she would definitely respond to Zhao Xu as soon as possible.
As for Xu Lingzhu, the situation encountered by Zhao Xu was similar.
She just solved a crisis.
What Zhao Xu encountered was a fist-sized spider. Xu Lingzhu encountered a group of termites.
She knows this termite.
This kind of termite is so powerful that it is known as the "man-eating ant!"
Not only do they travel in groups, their bites are extremely painful.
Fortunately, he met Xu Lingzhu. Before the termites could attack, Xu Lingzhu kicked several holes in the ground with his toes.
When the termites invaded Xu Lingzhu, she lured them into the pit she kicked. Repeatedly, she finally buried the termites in the soil.
Xu Lingzhu knew that this was not a long-term solution, and those termites would definitely break out of the ground.
Before the termites crawled out, Xu Lingzhu had quickly left the area.
Xu Lingzhu called to Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao! Mr. Zhao!..."
She shouted several times in succession, but received no answer from Zhao Xu.
I also feel very strange in my heart!
After Zhao Xu walked out for nearly three hours, he discovered that the end of the secret passage was sealed.
In desperation, Zhao Xu could only turn back to Yin.
When it came out, it was much faster.
It took more than four hours just to walk the first secret path.
Zhao Xu took one step ahead of Xu Lingzhu and returned to the origin of the maze.
Chapter completed!
