“Ah—!”

There was a miserable scream coming from afar that awakened Ming Shu.

Qu Qingge had already stood up and looked in the direction of the noise.

The scream was extremely miserable, but after it faded, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence again.

The fire made on the ground swayed with flames. The surrounding light became bright and then dark, and the shadows cast were like ghosts, fluttering their teeth and claws.

Qu Qingge walked to the opposite side of Ming Shu. Seeing that she was awake, he whispered, “That voice doesn’t seem to be far from us.”

Ming Shu’s gaze searched the darkness. “Something is coming.”

Qu Qingge was startled and hurriedly asked, “What?”

“I don’t know.” Ming Shu stood up, put away the snacks beside her, then retreated with Lian Sui in her arms.

Qu Qingge had nothing to pack, so when he saw Ming Shu retreat, he immediately followed her.

He looked back as he walked. The darkness was completely silent, and he didn’t feel anything.

However, just as they walked a few meters away, a ball of magic light suddenly exploded from the darkness.

A figure rushed out of the light.

“Help—”

It was like the silent world had suddenly been torn apart.

The cries and cries for help spread through the forest like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Qu Qingge’s heart was startled to skip a beat. He couldn’t see what was chasing after them, but they’d already been running for their lives.

The magic arrays seemed to have lost their effect at this moment. As they ran all the way past, the surroundings didn’t change at all.

“Jun Shang, what’s behind us!!” Qu Qingge shouted.

“Stop there and wait, you’ll know what it is.”

The girl’s voice came from the front, neither hurried nor slow. And with the ghosts crying and wolves howling in the background, her voice sounded even more out of place.

Qu Qingge didn’t dare to stop and wait. He wished he could have two more legs to catch up with Ming Shu.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the howling gradually subsided.

“Ah!”

A short cry came from behind them.

Then, there were cries and shouts of surprise. “It’s the Sanctuary. They are from the sanctuary!”

Qu Qingge paused slightly.

As soon as he entered the maze forest, he was separated from the Sanctuary’s people. Ming Shu was the first person he had met.

He looked back and saw that the magic ball of light was hanging in the air, and the iconic clothes of Sanctuary people were especially eye-catching.

Fang Xi was in the middle.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. I saw them run, so I ran,” someone replied.

The people who ran over one after another panted, and their answers were almost the same. They saw someone running, so they ran.

They didn’t know clearly what was behind them.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Of course, they weren’t to blame. After all, when they ran away, they could always hear miserable screams.

After entering the maze forest, the situation inside was completely different from what they expected.

Maps were useless. Some people even experienced what Ming Shu had experienced before—and personally killed their own acquaintances.

There were roughly a dozen people who gathered around here. Adding on the group of people from the Sanctuary, their number was not small.

“Oracle Qingge.” Someone with sharp eyes saw Qu Qingge, who was standing not far away.

“Some of us are injured. Could you treat them?”

Qu Qingge looked behind him. The person who was standing there earlier had long disappeared without a trace.

What happened to their friendship as teammates?

She actually left him and ran away.

Of course, Qu Qingge did not complain. Ming Shu was a dark sorcerer, so it was only natural for her to hide from these people.

Qu Qingge went over and woke Qian Ye up to treat those injured.

Fang Xi stared at Qu Qingge with an unclear expression. After Qian Ye finished treatment, Fang Xi said slowly, “The maze forest is more complicated than we predicted. I plan to go back and see what happened. Are you willing to join me?”

“This...”

Everyone hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing to go back and take a look.

It was not a solution for them to run like this.

Then, Fang Xi returned with a large group. Ming Shu had already made her way back, actually.

In the direction they ran from earlier, Ming Shu saw a corpse. The corpse was stained with dark magic: killed by a dark sorcerer.

Shashasha—

The bushes were pushed apart, and a person came out. Ming Shu could only see a silhouette and nothing else.

When that person discovered Ming Shu, his first reaction was to attack her with magic; two spells collided into each other in the air.

“Stop!” the other party suddenly said. “We’re on the same side. Don’t attack me.”

Ming Shu: “...”

Who’s on the same side as you?

The person walked over to the corpse as he said, “Hurry up and get rid of this corpse. If those people find it and come back to see this, we’ll be in trouble.”

Ming Shu: “...”

Turns out it’s you people who were playing tricks.

Ming Shu thought for a moment and pulled her hood to cover herself.

This person was a dark sorcerer, so he might know where the Dark Sanctuary was.

She lifted her feet and followed him.

The dark sorcerer cleaned up the corpse and led her into the forest. “It’ll soon be dawn. Let’s call it a day and go back first.”

“Why are you silent?”

“I’m afraid you’ll regret it if you hear my voice.”

“Why should I...” The man suddenly turned around and asked sternly, “Who are you!”

“Who am I? I’m Jiuyou!”

“...Bullshit!”

“Oh,” Ming Shu said meaningfully, “so you know Jiuyou?”

“How can you call the hall master by his name? Who exactly are you?” She had used dark magic, which was why he thought that she was one of them.

“I... I might be the Lord of Light.”

“???”

You used dark magic, but you said that you’re the Lord of Light. Is there anything wrong with your mind?

Regardless of whether she was crazy or not, this person definitely wasn’t with them.

The dark sorcerer immediately changed his stance and prepared to fight against Ming Shu.

However, before his magic was sent out, the person who had been a distance from him suddenly stood in front of him.

Something knocked on his head, causing stars to appear in front of his eyes.

Ming Shu sighed. “A sorcerer’s physical condition really isn’t good.”

...

When the dark sorcerer woke up, it was already the next day. He was tied to a tree trunk.

What happened?

Why am I being tied up here?

It took a while for the dark sorcerer to recall what had happened last night.

He was knocked out!!

The dark sorcerer raised his eyes and looked around. Not far away, he saw a girl in a black robe who was squatting on the ground, and there was a tiny person standing on a leaf beside her.

A fairy?

“Stop that, stop that now. He’s awake.” The young girl’s smiling voice sounded, and the little man snorted coldly as it flew over to sit on her body.

The young girl got up and walked toward him.

The light in front of him suddenly dimmed. The young girl stood in front of him with her arms crossed before her chest. Her beautiful face had a faint smile on it.

If she hadn’t tied him up here, he might have felt that she was kind and innocent.

The dark sorcerer swallowed. “What... what do you want to do?”

“I don’t want to do anything. I just want to ask you if you know where the Dark Sanctuary is.”

The dark sorcerer was on alert. “Why are you asking this? What do you want? Since you know that I’m from the Dark Sanctuary, you should know that if you dare touch me, the Dark Sanctuary will not spare you!”
