Chapter 537: Pointing the Way

"Boom!"

Inside the Jinlaihua small world, the ground began to move.

In a flash, the black pupa appeared in the Taunus labyrinth.

This can be regarded as Chen Qi's additional insurance for this guy.

...

After doing all this, Chen Qi looked at the five people from Ronaya who were lost in the corridor again.

Now that the test has been completed, everything should be over.

Oh, no, there should be one last test.

If the five people cannot pass it, everything will be the real end.

...

"Damn, I can't get out, I can't get out at all!"

"Is there no way out of this maze?"

"Ronaya, what should we do now?"

The irritable Walder is on the verge of losing control.

...

He would rather the enemy appear and fight to the death than repeat everything in such a numb and desperate way.

He now feels that every minute and every second of his life is wasted.

But what is more desperate is that his sense of time has become disordered.

…

Wald had no idea how long he had been lost here, one day, two days, or a month, or even longer?

The situation of the other four people was similar!

If the five people had not been walking together and comforting each other, they would have completely collapsed.

…

"My shadow is showing me the way!"

Facing Wald's questioning, Ronaya just stared at his shadow in a daze.

At first, Ronaya thought it was just an illusion.

At a certain moment, when Ronaya looked at his shadow under the moonlight, he suddenly found that the direction of the shadow was wrong.

…

According to the angle of the moonlight, his shadow should be located in front of the right side of his body.

But strangely, the shadow appeared in front of the left side.

Ronaya thought that the position of the moon had moved, but when he looked at the shadows of the other four people, he found that their shadows were normal and all located in front of the right side of their bodies.

…

After several experiments, Ronaya finally discovered a secret.

That is, every time he passes a fork in the road and faces a choice of direction, his shadow will take the lead in making a "choice".

If Ronaya's choice is consistent with the shadow, then the direction of the shadow will be normal.

If the directions are inconsistent, the shadow will deviate, as if to remind Ronaya that he should go in another direction.

...

This strange situation will not end until the next fork in the road.

But a new choice starts again, and everything will repeat.

In such a strange situation, Ronaya's first thought is to suspect that the person behind the scenes is playing tricks.

...

It's not that there is a problem with his shadow, but that the moonlight shining on him has been manipulated and deviated.

This is easy for the mastermind behind the scenes who has mastered the means of space.

But what Ronaya can't figure out is why only his shadow has changed?

Or why is it only for himself?

...

"Is the shadow pointing the way?"

The four people of Wald looked at Ronaya's shadow, and an indescribable shudder instantly surged into their hearts.

Ronaya's shadow is actually "wrong"!

Before that, they hadn't noticed it at all.

…

"Ronnaya, someone must be playing tricks on us!"

"Don't be fooled!"

Cornelia immediately warned, and the other three made similar judgments.

However, facing Cornelia's warning, Ronnaya remained silent.

The five people continued to move forward, and when they passed a fork in the road again, the other four people all looked at Ronnaya's shadow nervously.

Incredibly, the shadow was actually pointing the way for Ronnaya.

…

"You should have felt it too!"

"This maze is slowly devouring everything we have, and our mental strength and energy consumption are far beyond the normal range."

"If we keep walking like this endlessly, or if we can't get out of this maze, we will be sucked dry by the maze sooner or later!"

Ronnaya, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke again.

His words made Wald and the other four fall into silence.

Because that's exactly the case.

…

According to Wald and others’ understanding, the space-time maze they are in has a very unique mechanism.

If you stop in the maze, your energy consumption will be ten times the normal one.

Only by walking continuously in the maze can the energy consumption be maintained at a normal level.

This seems absurd, but it really exists and happens.

…

But walking continuously in the maze requires constant choices.

The pressure and mental consumption it bears are also far beyond normal.

And this situation will continue to grow as despair intensifies.

For example, they are now feeling deep mental fatigue.

And this is a very incredible thing for silver life.

Unless they have been fighting for 10 days and 10 nights.

…

"Ronnaya, have you thought of a way to escape?"

Hajik looked at Ronnaya excitedly, but the latter shook his head.

"Ronnaya, are you going to believe your shadow?"

"Wake up, this is a trap!"

Cornelia instantly realized that "not good", Ronnaya was trying to die.

However, when she looked at Ronaya, she saw the latter's extremely determined gaze.

…

"I'm sober now!"

"My instinct tells me that my shadow has undergone a rather miraculous change. It is alive!"

“It’s really showing me the way!”

"It's not about the moonlight, everything comes from myself."

Ronaya kept moving his position, but his shadow still pointed in the same direction.

In such a strange situation, Ronaya not only did not feel fear, but instead felt a sense of joy in being reborn.

…

"If we don't make any changes, what awaits us is endless despair!"

"So it's better for me to take the risk and move toward another option!"

"My intuition tells me that as long as I follow my shadow, I will definitely be able to get out of this maze of time and space."

"I decided to take a gamble!"

Ronaya made her decision very rationally.

Cornelia and the other four thought this guy was crazy.

This situation is problematic at first sight, so how can you take the initiative to step into the trap?

But what Ronaya said was not unreasonable. Apart from the road in front of them, they seemed to have no other options.

…

The five Ronaya people have already tried. Even if they gather all their power, they cannot break through the distortion of time and space.

The reality is always so cruel, 1+1+1+1+1 is still equal to 1.

In the face of the distorted time and space, the powers of the five of them can never truly merge and converge at one point.

If they don't make any "choice", they can only go to despair step by step in endless suffering.

…

Of course, Ronaya and the others are not without hope of getting out of trouble.

That is to hope that the people behind the scenes will consume their own energy before they do.

But their current sense of time has become disordered, and despair is spreading every moment. Can they really wait until hope appears?

…

Finally, with Cornelia and the other four watching, Ronaya followed his shadow and chose another fork in the road.

And this separation seems to be forever.

Cornelia and the four of them didn’t know how much time had passed, but they did not encounter Ronaya again in the following time.

Is he really out of trouble?

…

"My shadow is alive too!"

"He started to show me the way too!"

Within the endless long corridor, four figures walked numbly.

After Ronaya, Hajik's shadow also changed.

This change instantly made Cornelia and the three of them realize that what happened to Ronaya was not an accident.

…

After a long silence, Hajik finally embarked on the same path as Ronaya.

Even if it was possible that the mastermind wanted to defeat them individually, Hajik didn't care anymore.

It is better to die in a vigorous battle than to continue to suffer in despair.

…

The mutation of the shadow seemed to be contagious. After Hajik, Candice also had problems, then Cornelia and Walder.

And without exception, they all chose to "give up."

Give up on walking forward in despair and numbness in the corridor, follow the guidance of your own shadow, and move towards a new unknown.

…

"Junior, what is going on?"

"Such methods are not like your style!"

"That Ronaya is about to reach the exit of the maze."

"Are you really planning to release them?"

On the throne of the spaceship, Shen Yuying, who had been watching the excitement, stopped waving the goose feather fan in her hand in surprise.

…

It was really because the situation in the Taunos Labyrinth was a bit beyond her expectations.

Those five disaster stars suddenly became as if they had no clues and became like gods.

They were always on the right path and made the right choice at every fork in the road.

Ronaya, who was walking at the front, was about to escape.

…

From beginning to end, Chen Qi made no adjustments or interference.

When did my junior become so soft on the enemy?

What makes Shen Yuying even more curious is, what happened in the Taunos maze?

She always feels that the current situation is a bit strange!

Those shadows that suddenly came to life didn't seem to be the younger brother's tricks.

…

"Senior sister, the changes that happened to them have nothing to do with me!"

"From beginning to end, the ultimate boss those five guys had to face was not me at all!"

Even though Ronaya had already reached the exit, Chen Qi was still watching the show indifferently.

The outcome was already doomed the moment Ronaya and others made their decision.

…

"The ultimate boss is not you, junior?"

"I see!"

"It's the golden flower in the time and space mirror!"

"But this guy's methods seem to be even weirder, completely different from before."

"Is it because of the wreckage of Yuantian?"

After receiving Chen Qi's reminder, Shen Yuying suddenly realized.

Then her perspective immediately changed. The shadows of the five disaster stars were all connected by a golden root.

…

"It is indeed Jin Laihua who is actively hunting!"

"But the cleverness of its methods was a bit beyond my expectations."

"It perfectly invaded the Labyrinth of Taunos, completely turning it into a part of itself."

"The Taunos Labyrinth that I originally restored only studied the distortion and folding of space, and did not have the devouring function."

"It wouldn't be surprising if it was just picking up the bargains and trapping those five disaster stars to death."

"What's really incredible is that it is actively hunting!"

When Chen Qi talked about Jin Laihua, he finally became interested.

This is the biggest surprise and surprise of this experiment.

…

"The golden flower affected the soul shadows of the five disaster stars and pointed them to the correct route."

“But all this doesn’t come without a price.”

"Every fork in the road, every choice, when Ronaya and others give up self-thinking, part of their spark of wisdom will disappear."

"This is some kind of deal!"

"So even if they get out of the time and space maze, they will only completely lose their ability to think."

"As for whether I can recover, I don't have any immediate means."

Chen Qi talked with great interest, but the goose feather fan in Shen Yuying's hand trembled.

This method is too insidious!

Junior students must be careful about that golden flower.

…

"Looks like everything is over!"

"I thought junior brother was going to take action himself and stage a one-on-five battle!"

Shen Yuying waved the fan in her hand with regret, not being able to see her junior show off her power, she always felt that it was not perfect.

Ronaya had already walked out of the maze of time and space at this time, but the moment he stepped out of the maze, his whole person immediately turned into a dull piece of wood.

He stood there stupidly, not even the slightest bit of excitement on his face.

…

Soon after, the four Cornelias also walked out of the time and space maze one after another.

And their fate was naturally exactly the same as Ronaya's.

Perhaps for them, this is also a kind of happiness!

…

After all, as the spark of wisdom is lost, their brains begin to give up thinking.

In this way, the troubles and sorrows in their hearts naturally disappeared.

Compared to suffering in despair and eventually being swallowed by the maze.

It is certainly a blessing to be able to get out of the maze alive.

…

"Senior, it's time to call it a day!"

Chen Qi made a casual move, and the bright moon in the sky turned into a precious mirror and fell into his hands again.

The five Ronaya people were still standing a few kilometers away in a daze.

It was as if they had never moved from the moment they were enveloped by the bright moon.

…

"Junior brother really invited me to watch a good show!"

"After these five guys were arrested, our mission this time has come to an end!"

"Lan Ruoxi, bring them here!"

Shen Yuying glanced at the time and space mirror in Chen Qi's hand with envy. That woman Feng Zining was too partial.

…

Soon, the five Ronaya people were brought onto the spacecraft.

Shen Yuying did a little testing and found that they had become vegetative.

Fortunately, the extraordinary world has many means. Even if these guys can no longer think, they can still dig out their memories.

Even in this situation, it is more suitable to steal memories.

…

After a lot of trouble, the origins of these five people were completely unearthed.

In particular, their memories with Wu Daoqi were the focus of the excavation, and no trace was spared.

I really didn't expect that Wu Daoqi would be schizophrenic by these guys.

What's even more distressing is that Wu Daoqi has indeed colluded with the disaster star.

In this case, there is no need to be too polite to him!

…

"Junior, Wu Daoqi is currently hiding in a cave in the Tariq Mountains."

"But this guy is in a very bad state right now!"

"The other face parasitic on Wu Daoqi turned out to be an [astrologer]."

"After junior fellow student rescued Lan Ruoxi, the astrologer started to attack Wu Daoqi again."

"These five guys came here for a night attack to rob Lan Ruoxi."

Shen Yuying briefly introduced the unearthed information.

…

For safety reasons, Shen Yuying and Chen Qi did not personally pry into the memories of the disaster stars.

And this caution is indeed necessary.

In the memories of the disaster stars, there are indeed methods left by some big shots.

Fortunately, it only burned the relevant memories and did not make any attacks.

Otherwise, Lan Ruoxi and Wen Mengqiu, who are responsible for spying on memories, will definitely be in bad luck.

…

"Hey, Wu Daoqi really went the wrong way!"

"Senior sister, are we going to go straight to Huanglong next?"

Chen Qi expressed regret to his "old friend". He really didn't want to meet him again.

But Shen Yuying obviously doesn't think so much. Now there is only one disaster star guard left in the Tarik Mountains, and of course he wants to "rescue people."

Without further ado, once the news of the arrest of the five Ronaya people spreads out, if the disaster star jumps over the wall in a hurry and kills Wu Daoqi, wouldn't that make the mission imperfect?

…

Boom!

Under the darkness, the spacecraft started up again and headed towards the Tarik Mountains at 5 times the speed of sound.

One day and one night later, Shen Yuying, a divine soldier and general, led the crowd to raid the cave.

However, there was deathly silence in the cave, with only the fresh remains of many men in black scattered everywhere.

…

"Senior, we are late!"

"This guy who died tragically must be Lubbock!"

In a cold pool, Chen Qi discovered the tortured corpse of an inhumane old man.

The cruel and violent methods made Chen Qi frown.

…

"Junior, do you mean that Wu Daoqi killed Lubbock and escaped on his own?"

Shen Yuying looked unhappy. If Wu Daoqi escaped on his own, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

...

"Senior, it may not be Wu Daoqi who escaped!"

"All the people in the cave, including Lubbock, died in a very strange way."

"Their luck, life source, and even life matrix were devoured."

"Such a method seems to be done by that [Nothingness Point], or the astrologer."

Chen Qi sighed. Things seemed to be developing in the worst direction.

But this seemed to be a good thing. At least he didn't have to fight Wu Daoqi.

…

"Wu Daoqi was actually swallowed by that astrologer?"

"What a waste!"

"But if this happens, things will be even more troublesome!"

"With the ability of that astrologer, let alone us, even a third-level Tianji Master may not be able to find them."

Shen Yuying couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that her mission this time was really going to fail.

…

"Senior sister, even if that astrologer swallowed Wu Daoqi, he couldn't escape."

"We still have a way to fish him out!"

Whether it's the astrologer or Wu Daoqi, they are originally one, it's just a matter of who is the leader.

But there is a hurdle that none of them can get around.

That is Ma Tianqi.

Shen Yuying, who figured out everything, her eyes lit up instantly!
