Chapter 589 - 589: Special Passage
Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Special Passage
The sound was deafening, it seemed far away, yet it felt so close!
Jiang Xiaobai could only feel his body trembling, his soul shaking, infinite fear surging up from his heart.
Such a situation immediately struck terror into Jiang Xiaobai’s heart. He quickly turned to look at Bai He and Gu Ning.
He saw them both looking at him with mysterious smiles.
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly had a feeling of dread: “Can you guys clarify what is going on instead of keeping me in suspense?”
“In the early days of the labyrinth, the danger was manageable. But as time goes on, the danger increases and it becomes more terrifying.”
“Just now, without a doubt, some beast must have emerged somewhere. These kinds of beasts have only one goal!”
“That is to kill everyone inside this labyrinth.”
Gu ning sneered, “Do you still think this labyrinth trial is simple?”
“Is it just one of them? Or a whole group of them?” Jiang Xiaobai asked urgently.
“Most likely just one, after all there was only one sound. If it was a group, they wouldn’t appear this early.”
“Hang in there Xiaobai, if we’re unfortunate enough to encounter it, we’re going to need your help.”
Gu Ning chuckled, reaching out to pinch Jiang Xiaobai’s cheek, but was swatted away by Jiang Xiaobai, who was visibly disgusted.
“How powerful is it?”
“It’s definitely in the Late Stage of Fusion, but as for how powerful, it’s hard to say.”
Bai He shook his head: “The situation here is different from the outside world. Just be prepared to run if you can’t defeat it. We shouldn’t bump into it for now.”
Just as Bai He finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook.
Then the ground began shaking more frequently. Meteorologically, Jiang Xiaobai saw a giant, flaming red ape appearing at the front of the passageway!
The ape was holding a big hammer in its hand!
“Shit! Are you trying to jinx us?!”
Without a second’s hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai rushed back. Without any doubts, the monster was the source of the deafening sound earlier.
Why not run and wait to die?
The three people hurriedly ran back, and the giant ape also rushed over quickly, its massive size completely blocked the passageway.
On top of that, it was extremely fast. Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t even outrun it!
“Wait for me, wait for me!” Looking at Gu Ning and Bai He who were escaping faster than him, Jiang Xiaobai yelled in desperation.
Then Gu Ning reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiaobai by the collar, dragging him along as they ran.
So the three of them ran for their lives, always maintaining a certain distance from the giant ape. Every time they passed a crossroad, Jiang Xiaobai made a mark.
Otherwise, running aimlessly like this, they might lose their direction and everything would spiral into something much worse.
Luckily, Gu Ning and Bai He seemed quite composed. While they looked like they were running frantically, their expressions remained calm.
After running for more than an hour, about ten people appeared infront of them. The moment they saw Jiang Xiaobai and the others, they turned and fled.
It was obvious that these people knew about the situation Jiang Xiaobai and his group were in.
The only thing that caused Jiang Xiaobai slight embarrassment was that Gu Ning and Bai He were so fast that they quickly overtook this group of people.
“Damn it, you guys are damned turtles!”
Seeing that they were overtaken, the group of people were raging with anger, but there was nothing they could do, not even considering attacking Jiang Xiaobai and the others.
That’s because the giant ape was about to catch up.
In less than ten minutes, the giant ape caught up with them and started to smash things around with its big hammer, causing the entire labyrinth to shake.
Anyone could guess the ending for those people. There was no choice, this was the trial!
If someone causes trouble for them, they could also cause trouble for others. Everything depends on their own strength!
Luckily, those people were there to hold it back, providing an opportunity for Gu Ning, who was holding Jiang Xiaobai, to escape quickly.
At some point in time, the three of them slowed down their pace and began to use the celestial stones to replenish their spiritual power.
The labyrinth was indeed perilous!
Crack!
Just then, Gu Ning stepped on something and the floor tile sank, followed by the entire floor which began to cave in.
The three of them lost their footing, and unable to fly, they could only glaringly watch themselves fall into the abyss!
In that moment, Jiang Xiaobai thought he was a goner!
This was definitely a deadly trap!
Next, he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he felt someone pinching his cheeks.
“Wake up and open your eyes, we might have gotten lucky this time.”
Gu Ning’s voice rang out by his ear.
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, and found himself still in the labyrinth. However, the surrounding walls had turned blue.
Just like the land in the abyss of the underworld, the blue walls were emitting blue light.
“Where the hell is this?” Jiang Xiaobai got up and muttered.
“Remember what I told you before? This labyrinth has two exits.”
“One is clearly visible and the other is hidden. Clearly, we have come to the hidden place.”
Having said this, Gu Ning pointed to the passageway ahead.
“This way is straight and leads directly to the exit. The question now is how to choose the direction. Choosing wrongly may consume a lot of energy.”
“Moreover, there is no spiritual energy here.”
It dawned on Jiang Xiaobai that he was now in the hidden trial of the labyrinth. Even though it was a direct route to the exit, the circumstances suggested that this place was far more challenging!
With no spiritual energy to replenish their strength, relying on the celestial stones was an option but those would run out eventually!
And who knew what kind of creatures lurked in this passageway?
“Let’s move forward. I have a feeling that the exit should be up ahead.” Bai He pointed to the front and said indifferently.
Jiang Xiaobai curled his lips: “You’d better keep your mouth shut. I’m sure we’re going to run into big trouble if we follow you.”
After saying this, Jiang Xiaobai turned to walk in the other direction. However, after only taking a few steps, he felt the hair on his body stand on end!
He felt an immense danger all around him!
In that instant, he immediately took out the Rainbow Abyss ready to fight, but no danger was forthcoming. The feeling of terrifying threat, however, was getting stronger!
Gulp!
He swallowed instinctively, Jiang Xiaobai turned around awkwardly, “Let’s go that way instead, I have a feeling that Bai He was probably right.”
Gu Ning and Bai He looked at each other, both sporting a grin, then shook their heads and led the way.
Jiang Xiaobai kept glancing over his shoulder as he walked.
The passageway was straight and the end could not be seen, all that could be seen at the end was total darkness.
And in that darkness, something terrifying seemed to be waiting, ready for Jiang Xiaobai to walk into its trap.
An icy gust of wind blew out of nowhere, making Jiang Xiaobai shiver.
Again there was a crack!
The floor tiles below him loosened, followed by a crack opening up in the left wall of the passage not far ahead.
Dozens of skeletons, their eye sockets glowing with red flames, rushed out holding big swords, charging at Jiang Xiaobai and his companions!
