"Xiao Ran?"

Liu Mingyang shouted, but there was silence in front of him. There was no response, and he couldn't even hear an echo.

This empty and familiar scene made his heart suddenly tighten.

He walked forward quickly, went to the place where he suspected Xiao Ran disappeared, and looked for it.

There are no crevices or caves nearby.

"Senior Brother Xiao?"

He shouted again, but still no response.

He violently swung his sword and slashed everywhere, digging into a cave within a few feet, but Xiao Ran was nowhere to be seen.

Disappeared in the same way as Leader Cao.

Space magic?

But he didn't notice any fluctuations in spiritual power, and he didn't even see any spiritual patterns, restrictions or formations.

Disappear into thin air?

He felt that the surroundings were too quiet, and even the floating mist was gone.

"General...general?"

He subconsciously changed his honorific, and his voice was obviously trembling, as if he was about to be swallowed by the claustrophobic space.

Sudden!

I don’t know where or how far away, but there is a faint voice.

"You are finally willing to call me general."

Liu Mingyang suddenly straightened his burly body.

"You still here?"

"I was always here, but you are no longer here."

Xiao Ran's voice was calm, ethereal, and sounded indifferent, but it also gave people an extremely reliable feeling.

Liu Mingyang was stunned and looked around. The layout was still the same as before.

"What do you mean I'm gone?"

Xiao Ran sighed.

"There is a gap in your heart. Don't just focus on practicing physical skills and forget about your mental skills."

Liu Mingyang was still confused, thinking to himself, I am not bad at it either.

Xiao Ran said:

"Do as I say."

Xiao Ran's voice was not produced by his mouth or consciousness, but a vibrating sound from his soul.

Liu Mingyang had no choice. Even if he heard the sound, he couldn't locate Xiao Ran with his spiritual consciousness, so he had to follow the instructions.

"good."

"Take a step back, three steps to the left...three and a half steps. This is where you are. Just meditate on whatever method you want and forget yourself. Then I will pull you back."

Liu Mingyang walked to the designated location and came up with some unconvincing tips——

The Dharma of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

I sat down cross-legged and meditated. I wasted about half a moment before I managed to achieve a selfless state of mind.

A big hand reached out from nowhere and pulled him into the spatial ripples.

Liu Mingyang suddenly woke up and opened his eyes. A magnificent underground maze appeared in front of him.

Like an underground city!

Looking back, behind him was indeed the river that Xiao Ran and he had walked through just now.

There are no traces of the cave being dug out later.

Xiao Ran grabbed Liu Mingyang's shoulders and did not dare to relax for a moment.

"You swung the sword too forcefully and messily, and you fell into the parallel river without realizing it."

Liu Mingyang asked blankly:

"Parallel space?"

"That's right."

Xiao Ran patted his shoulder and said sincerely:

"Only when the sword's heart is clear can the road ahead be stabilized."

This guy is young, yet he teaches people so eloquently that it is impossible to refute...

In fact, Liu Mingyang's mentality is not bad. In the past, he could even argue with Team Leader Cao for a few words.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ran's mind is too strong!

"You mean, Leader Cao also entered the maze by mistake?"

"should be."

Xiao Ran thought to himself that not everyone is qualified to enter the maze by mistake, even he almost went astray.

Relying on the keen consciousness of the resonance of the mind, I walked all the way straight to see this maze, and then endured the attraction of the maze, and reflexively located Liu Mingyang.

Presumably this leader Cao is not a simple person, at least he is much more senior than Liu Mingyang!

"Why did Team Leader Cao enter by mistake and not look back for me?"

Liu Mingyang asked again.

Xiao Ran explained:

"That's because his Taoist heart is not firm enough."

In other words, are you better than Team Leader Cao?

You are awesome and you are reasonable.

Liu Mingyang had nothing to say.

Xiao Ran said:

"Let's go."

Only then did Liu Mingyang take a closer look at the maze.

The labyrinth looks like a city, with high black walls that extend into the sky invisible to the naked eye, or into an abyss.

There are seals all around.

There is a hollow sound coming from the entrance of the palace, which seems to have an inexplicable attraction, tingling your nerves and pulling on your limbs, making you want to go in uncontrollably.

The more he was attracted, the more Liu Mingyang stopped and did not dare to move. He asked cautiously:

"How come there is such a big maze underground in Wuyan City?"

"Is it big?"

To Xiao Ran, a maze is like a maze map in a stand-alone game.

You said big, it is indeed big.

When you say small, it's probably only a few tens of megabytes of space.

This involves high-order space laws.

Xiao Ran could only rely on resonance consciousness and full-level construction skills to gain some insight into it, but it was difficult to go into details. Naturally, he could not explain it clearly to Liu Mingyang in plain language.

Liu Mingyang didn't know how powerful it was. He only knew that it was some kind of space magic, but he couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power.

"Is the inscription really here?"

"I've seen the underground fortification map. If the inscription is in Wuyan City, it can only be here."

The two of them entered the maze.

The lane is about three feet wide.

The surroundings are very quiet.

Even the dark mist cannot penetrate it.

The high walls on both sides extend infinitely to unknown places, making the palace and alley seem empty, and the two of them are extremely small.

Occasionally, scratching blood stains can be seen on both sides of the black wall, some are white, some are black, and some are still fresh.

The ground was covered with a thin layer of white ash.

Xiao Ran bent down, reached out and dipped some white ashes, and upon closer inspection, he saw that they were human ashes.
