The three of them were instantly stunned, their hearts filled with surprise and disbelief.
They couldn't believe their eyes, couldn't believe they had actually found the exit.
At that moment, all fatigue, fear, and despair vanished into thin air, leaving only pure joy and excitement. They hugged each other tightly, tears of excitement shimmering in their eyes, as if they wanted to engrave this moment in their hearts forever.
However, just as this joy surged like a tide, a strange voice suddenly rang in their ears, penetrating the warmth like cold ice. The voice was low and hoarse, as if from a demon in Hell, filled with endless mockery and cold laughter.
"It's not over yet!" the voice laughed, each word like a sharp knife, stabbing into their hearts.
Upon hearing this, the three were startled, and their joy was instantly replaced by terror. They looked around in confusion, trying to find the source of the voice, but the surrounding area was empty, with nothing in sight. Only the walls of the maze looked particularly grim in the dim light, as if hiding countless secrets and dangers.
"Who is it? Come out!" Shen Jingqi shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the maze, yet there was no response. His eyes flashed with vigilance, his fists clenched, ready to deal with any potential danger. Renault and Li Baiyu clung tightly to his side, their heartbeats extraordinarily clear in the silent air.
However, the voice did not sound again. The surroundings were silent, as if nothing had happened. Only the wind gently blew through the maze, bringing a slight chill and unease. The three were filled with doubt and anxiety, not knowing what would happen next. They knew that although they had found the exit, the danger was not truly over. This strange voice felt like an ominous sign.
Then, a gust of wind blew, bringing a message from afar. That wind seemed to carry some hint, causing a mysterious feeling to swell in their hearts. Shen Jingqi closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to capture the information in the wind. He sensed that the wind contained a force, a power guiding them forward.
"Be careful, we haven't truly left the maze yet." Shen Jingqi suddenly opened his eyes and said confidently. His gaze shone with a firm light, as if he had seen through the maze's truth.
Renault and Li Baiyu, hearing this, brightened up. They knew Shen Jingqi had always been the smartest and most perceptive among them. If he said so, there must be a reason. They immediately followed Shen Jingqi's directions, carefully observing the surroundings in search of the real exit.
They saw that on the walls of the maze, the symbols and patterns that had once confused them seemed clearer now. The three immediately followed the guidance of those symbols and patterns, beginning their walk out of the maze.
They walked cautiously, afraid of accidentally triggering the maze's traps. Every step was filled with vigilance and caution.
"As long as we follow these symbols and patterns, we can get out, trust me."
Shen Jingqi's expression relaxed.
Sure enough, following the guidance of the symbols, they walked out of the maze.
When they saw the stone tablet in front of them, an indescribable joy surged in their hearts.
That stone tablet, which was once the marker of their entry into the maze, now became the proof of their exit.
The symbols and patterns on the stone tablet lit up again, the light more dazzling than ever. The strange sound also became clearer, as if hundreds of voices were cheering simultaneously, celebrating their success.
The three stood in front of the stone tablet, staring in awe at everything, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.
"Did we... really come out?" Renault murmured, his voice trembling slightly with disbelief. He looked back at the maze behind them, which once filled them with despair and fear, now seemed so distant and small.
"Yes, we came out." Shen Jingqi said firmly, his eyes shining with joy and pride.
This moment was a result of their joint efforts, a testament to their wisdom and courage.
Li Baiyu, too, nodded excitedly, tears shining in his eyes.
At this moment, standing outside the maze, they felt the breath of freedom and the warmth of the sun.
However, just as they were immersed in joy, an unexpected change broke this peace. The light on the stone tablet suddenly became extremely dazzling, as if it was illuminating the entire sky. At the same time, the strange sound became more urgent and intense, as if something important was about to happen.
The three were startled and immediately looked at the stone tablet warily. They saw the symbols and patterns on the stone tablet beginning to change rapidly, as if conveying some message. They stared at the stone tablet, trying to capture every detail of the change.
"What... does this mean?" Renault asked in confusion, his heart full of unease and doubt. He felt that this change must mean something important was about to happen, but they couldn't understand the information on the stone tablet.
Shen Jingqi also frowned, carefully observing each symbol and pattern on the stone tablet, trying to find a pattern within.
"This stone tablet must be the key to the maze."
Just then, the light on the stone tablet flashed, and a clear image appeared before their eyes.
"Is this... a map?" Renault asked in surprise, his heart filled with shock and disbelief. He never thought that this stone tablet would hide the maze's map.
Shen Jingqi also stared at the map intently.
"No, it's more than just a map." Shen Jingqi suddenly said, his voice solemn and firm. He pointed to a special symbol on the map and said, "Look at this symbol, it represents an unknown force or treasure. I suspect this stone tablet is guiding us to the location of that force."
"Then... what should we do?" Renault asked, his heart filled with confusion and unease. He knew this unknown force or treasure might hide countless dangers and challenges, but they could not resist this temptation.
"Of course, we should explore it." Shen Jingqi said firmly.
This was a rare opportunity; they could gain unimaginable rewards from it.
Li Baiyu nodded in agreement.
They proceeded cautiously along the route, constantly on alert. They observed the surroundings, afraid of triggering any traps or mechanisms. However, to their surprise, the journey was surprisingly smooth, without any danger or challenge.
When they reached an ancient ruin, an indescribable awe surged in their hearts.
The ruins, majestic and mysterious, perhaps concealed an unknown force or treasure here. Find the newest release on NoveI[F]ire.net
