Chapter 172: Little White Lost
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
With their Bloodline Skills, the twin sisters were fighting very dauntingly. In just the time for three incense sticks to burn, the nearly 100 Spectral Golems were all destroyed.
As the last one was decapitated, the twin sisters felt so weak that they almost fell to the ground. Several young ladies hurried to them and helped them to sit down and take a rest to recover.
Bai Gu brought someone with him to check and make sure that all the Spectral Golems were destroyed. They immediately ran forward. There was a dais in front with two treasures placed on it. One of them was a secret book and the other a square seal.
“Very nice!”
Bai Gu glanced over and his eyes lit up. However, he didn’t take it all to himself. Instead, he ran back and gave the two treasures to Bai Qiuxue.
This time, the twin sisters had made great contributions. If it were not for their Bloodline Skills, who could kill these Spectral Golems?
Bai Qiuxue didn’t decline. She put the secret book into her Interspatial Ring and handed over the square seal to Bai Xiashuang who was quite weak right now. But, seeing that her hard word had been paid for, she was happy. She put away the square seal after she played with it for a while.
These warriors didn’t rashly move forward. They all sat down to cultivate and rest to recharge physically and mentally. The four young masters were still treating their wounds, yet they could probably only be able to fight after half a day.
Lu Li sat in the corner with his legs crossed and concentrated in cultivation. Nobody said anything to him. He seemed to be incompatible with the group. Lu Li not rushing forward made many men angry at him. Plus, the two treasures he got caused many people to be jealous.
Those that were able to be here were all young masters and young ladies of the Big Families. As for Lu Li, he was just some Island Owner. He had also offended Bai Xiashuang. Naturally, nobody would treat him nicely.
They had heard about Ming Yu. That being said, Ming Yu left right after that and never appeared again at the Blood Evil Island. He never sent a message, so many people had grown suspicious.
Even Yu Fangfei was doubting the relationship between Lu Li and Ming Yu. If there were, Ming Yu should have sent a word to God-down Island to have them look after Lu Li.
Lu Li was a mysterious man. He was wearing that Ghost Mask. For the group of young masters and young ladies, that was being pretentious. If Lu Li had been in the Soul Pond Realm, it was okay. However, he was only at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm…
Of course, nobody actually thought about antagonizing him. They just wouldn’t be kind to him.
Lu Li didn’t care about it. He didn’t want to befriend those young masters and young ladies anyways. He just cultivated quietly. After four hours, Bai Qiuxue stood up and waved her hand. “Let’s go.”
The four injured men looked better now that they had recovered. Their wounds had already scarred. They got up and walked along. Bai Gu had already checked. There was a tunnel in front.
This tunnel was the same with the previous ones. Another 550 yards on, the tunnel branched off to three directions.
“Damn…”
The beautiful eyebrows of Bai Qiuxue were knitted together. Many other men frowned as well. Which one should they take since the three branches were all alike? Should they split out? But what if they ran into any dangers?
They gathered together and had a discussion. Eventually, they decided to stay together. Even if it meant they had to spend more time, they wouldn’t split.
Bai Qiuxue was leading the team and they took the branch on the left. Lu Li didn’t have any better ideas. He just followed them and observed the surroundings. He secretly threw a Xuan Crystal on the ground.
Another 800 feet and 240 inches ahead, the tunnel branched off to three directions again. This time, all of the warriors looked daunted.
This was clearly a maze. They might all be trapped in here if they were not careful.
After some thoughts, Bai Qiuxue decided to move forward with her team. This time, they had chosen the path on the right. Yet, after 800 feet and 240 inches, the path branched off again…
Many young ladies were in a panic. They didn’t bring much food. The food could sustain them for about 10 days or half a month, but they would starve to death if they were to be trapped in here for several months.
“What are you panicking for?”
Bai Qiuxue scolded them. She waved her hand and said, “What will panicking do for you? The moment you entered the Tomb of the Dragon King, you should have been prepared to die in here. What will a warrior achieve with a fear of death?”
Seeing the calm pretty face of Bai Qiuxue and her fearless and ferocious expressions, Lu Li looked at the lady with new eyes.
Bai Qiuxue was always composed and Bai Xiashuang was always restless. In the average days, Bai Qiuxue was gentle as jade. She would treat everyone with kindness. Little did Lu Li expect that when she was angry, she was like a female tiger.
She was so young but she remained so collected when faced with such a situation. She had the ways of a great general. No wonder it was her that was leading the team this time. Bai Xiashuang wouldn’t be able to control everyone in times of this.
Everyone became quiet after Bai Qiuxue demonstrated her power. At least, on the surface, she dared not to show that she was anxious as well. Bai Qiuxue waved her hand and the team continued their quest.
Branches, branches, tunnels, tunnels!
After they walked for more than two hours, what they saw were all branches that looked the same. The identical tunnels made the warriors confused about the direction, and now they were completely lost. They didn’t know where to go nor where the exit was…
Bai Qiuxue stopped when they ran into another branch. Worry and confusion filled her stunning eyes. She was at complete loss of what to do. She waved her hand and signaled everyone to take a rest. She herself stood at the crossings and contemplated the matter.
After a while, she thought of something. She looked towards Lu Li who was staying at the back of the team. She walked towards him step by step. She asked Lu Li who was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, “Lu Li, do you have a way out of this situation?”
Lu Li looked up. From his perspective, he could see the slightly raised breasts of Bai Qiuxue. He shook his head and said, “This is a maze. Whether we can go out rely on our luck.”
“Hmm…”
Someone in the distance were showing disdain. Everyone knew this was a maze. Who didn’t understand that going out would be dependent on their luck?
Bai Qiuxue slightly sighed. She didn’t go back to the front of the team. She just sat down beside Lu Li with her legs crossed. The ring in her hand lit up, and she took out some prepared food and water. She asked someone to pass those around so they could replenish their strengths.
At last, she also handed some to Lu Li. He took off his Ghost Mask and ate in silence. Lu Li was not trying to hide his strength. He really had no way. He had been observing the whole way, but all the tunnels looked the same, and the crossings were identical. There was no hint nor any kind of guidance. Lu Li was no supernatural being. How could he know which way to go? He had been putting down Xuan Crystals along the way but he didn’t see any of them.
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White seemed to also feel hungry seeing Lu Li was eating. It sneaked out of Lu Li’s sleeve and looked at him with eager eyes.
Lu Li patted Little White with fondness. He took some Fire Jade Spars from his Interspatial Ring to give to Little White. Bai Qiuxue was surprised to see the hard Fire Jade Spars eaten up by Little White. It finished the more than a dozen Fire Jade Spars in just a short while. She asked, “Lu Li, which Rank your Xuan Beast is of? So wonderful.”
“Third-rank!”
Lu Li casually made it up. Hearing Bai Qiuxue describing it as wonderful, he thought of something. He said to Little White, “Little White, we are trapped in the maze. Can you help us find the exit?”
Little White had just wolfed down the last piece of Fire Jade Spar. On hearing Lu Li’s words, it ran forward at full speed towards the distance. It vanished in Lu Li’s eyes at once.
“Little White!”
Lu Li was terrified. This place was filled with branches. What if Little White got lost and couldn’t find him again?
He hurried forward in strides, trying to go after it, but Little White was so fast. Lu Li ran for 800 feet and 240 inches and was faced with three branches again. Little White, on the other hand, had disappeared…
“Little White, get back here!”
Lu Li shouted in remorse, his voice echoing in the tunnel. Little White, however, never showed up.
