Chapter 1756: Chapter 923: All Dead

"Are we fighting alone?" Qing Chen murmured, "No, that’s not right."

Saying this, he turned back to look at the Ghost Kid following behind him, smiled, and patted the two Water Ghosts hanging on either side of his neck, saying with a laugh, "It’s not a solo fight, I still have you guys with me. You guys are pretty cute when you’re not causing trouble."

Water Ghost: "..."

Ghost Kid: "..."

In the dark environment, the stone-carved Guardian Lizard Sculpture crouched on a square stone base, more than two people tall.

It slightly lowered its head gazing in Qing Chen’s direction, almost as if, when Qing Chen rushed out from the slide, it had originally been looking elsewhere, but suddenly turned its head.

It was chilling.

Qing Chen watched silently as the Guardian Lizard Sculpture that had appeared multiple times in the paradox hints unexpectedly appeared before him.

He thought it was a hidden item, something that would take a lot of effort to find!

Moreover, this Guardian Lizard Sculpture wasn’t the only one.

Calculating from the 19 people who entered, if each person’s entrance had one, then this maze should have at least 19 sculptures.

But in the first challenge’s totem, Qing Zhen’s bionic body had clearly stated: There’s only one Guardian Lizard Sculpture in the maze, but if you see two at the same time, don’t throw the Blessing Card into their mouths.

"Let’s see how it protects me after I throw in the Blessing Card," Qing Chen took off a Blessing Card and tossed it into the sculpture’s dark mouth.

The next moment, the stone-made Guardian Lizard actually came to life, twisting its neck, its eyes blinked slightly, then suddenly stuck out a tongue, wrapping the Ghost Kid behind Qing Chen with it, preparing to swallow it.

"So this is protection," Qing Chen nodded, and quickly pulled the Ghost Kid by the ankle from the tongue.

The Guardian Lizard was momentarily stunned.

Qing Chen placed the Ghost Kid back on the ground, "You’ve been well-behaved just now, a good kid, no need to feed it."

Ghost Kid: "..."

Qing Chen looked at the Guardian Lizard, "If they are illusions, then... the tongue motion you did just now is also an illusion. So in the visa information, the directive for everyone to seek you out after the metal clanging, it’s not to protect us, but to gather everyone here, making it easier for some unknown entity to find us. Or perhaps, so you can find us."

Qing Chen smiled again, "Of course, this is just a theory; the evidence chain is not complete."

But why do both the visitor information and Qing Zhen’s bionic body state that there is only one Guardian Lizard Sculpture here... might it be saying that there’s only one sculpture, and the others are creatures?

After speaking, he patted the Ghost Kid on the head, "Let’s go, let’s take a look inside."

At this moment, he seemed to be completely immersed in Chaos, yet strangely, he was still coherently chaotic in this Chaos, maintaining an efficient logical analysis ability.

He knew all this was an illusion, yet he continued interacting with it on his own.

Eerie.

Madness.

In the next moment, Qing Chen dragged a kayak behind him with one hand, held a paddle in the other, and headed into the maze’s darkness, with two Water Ghosts tugging at his cheeks, and the Ghost Kid jumping along behind.

The maze was made of tall green walls, densely packed plants piled up together, completely obscuring what’s behind the walls.

Above was a dense black night, but moonlight fell, casting shadows on the ground, shrouding the maze’s paths in the shadow of the maze walls.

At this moment, the Ghost Kid suddenly stopped and looked back to see the Guardian Lizard Sculpture had somehow turned its head. It was no longer facing outside the maze, but instead, quietly gazed into the darkness inside the maze.

Qing Chen turned and said to the Ghost Kid, "Don’t get lost, keep up."

The Ghost Kid continued jumping along behind him, its mouth silently opening and closing, as if singing an unheard nursery rhyme.

Qing Chen carefully calculated his steps as he entered the maze, and after walking 1000.2 meters, he retraced his steps, but the entrance had become a wall.

The Guardian Lizard that was supposed to be near the door had also disappeared.

"Has the path’s shape changed? Yes, it has changed," Qing Chen said seriously.

The path of this maze indeed changed after he had walked through it.

At this point, he not only believed that those Guardian Lizards might be numerous creatures, but even suspected that this maze might be a ’creature’ itself!

Distracted by his thoughts, suddenly a piercing scream echoed from afar.

The scream penetrated through the layers of tree walls, then abruptly stopped, indicating someone must have died.

Qing Chen recognized it as one of Gou Wa’s men.

Who, who killed this subordinate in the maze?

Dragging the kayak, Qing Chen quickly ran within the maze, aiming for the source of the sound, yet somehow he couldn’t get closer in this twisting maze.

Every path he tried to take there ended in a dead end.

At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and saw a figure hiding in the shadows of the wall behind him, eyes wide open, staring directly at him!

In the darkness, the person’s limbs were twisted as if they were a broken puppet!

Qing Chen calmly walked over, only to discover a person whose hands and feet had been bizarrely broken, embedded into the maze wall, as if becoming a part of the wall.

There were no wounds on his body, yet he had died in utter silence.

Qing Chen recognized him; it was the person who had entered the second level alone in the rocking horse area.
