Chapter Twenty-Nine: Something Happens
Xu Shuo and Lilian followed behind the backpack man and the strange woman, and not far in front of them was the exit of the labyrinth, and a little light could be faintly seen outside the exit.
Liliam seemed nervous, and Xu Shuo could hear that her breathing was a little rapid.
Xu Shuo whispered in Lilian's ear: "It's okay, take it easy, you don't have to do anything for a while, just behave naturally." β
Liliam nodded, took a few deep breaths, and seemed to calm down.
Outside the labyrinth, the sky was not yet bright, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the moonlight spread on the ground outside the labyrinth, so that Xu Shuo and the others could see everything in front of them clearly the moment they walked out of the labyrinth.
Unlike when they entered, the earth and stone people had been cut in half by something, lying like a small hill outside the mouth of the labyrinth, and the wasteland outside was uneven, full of potholes and scratches, and the few trees that were left to fall to the ground, indicating that there had been a fierce struggle here. A group of people were roasting around the campfire, and one of them first noticed that someone had come out of the mouth of the labyrinth, so he shouted loudly.
"Boss, that woman is out!"
These people were the masked people who had chased and killed Lilian and the others before, and they had all taken off the black cloth that covered their faces, but when they saw someone coming out, they hurriedly put on the black cloth on their faces.
A burly man stood up, carrying a long, large blade like a saw behind him, and it seemed that he was the leader of the group, and his clothes had many tears, suspected to have been torn in the previous battle.
Was this guy the one who killed Lilian's father, Adam? Xu Shuo thought to himself.
"Hey, woman, you're finally ......" The leader seemed to want to say something, but when he noticed that Lilian and Xu Shuo were following behind the strange woman, his voice became angry, "What's going on?!" β
Xu Shuo's palms were sweating, for fear that this unpredictable woman would betray him and Lilian, but the strange woman and the backpacker man just walked forward without saying a word, without even looking at the leader.
It seems that the hush money of one hundred gold was not given in vain, and Xu Shuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is not the same as saying yes, doesn't it mean that you can go in first, but you are not allowed to touch my prey?!" The masked leader asked sharply.
The masked men and the gang all stood up, many of them glared angrily at the strange woman and the backpack man, and some people stared at Xu Shuo and Lilian, the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger and stronger, but the strange woman still didn't say a word, didn't explain, and didn't say anything, just walked forward.
The distance between the two groups was getting closer and closer, Xu Shuo almost felt the other party's blazing eyes and strong killing intent, he heard his heart pounding rapidly, and some cold sweat oozed uncontrollably from his forehead.
Xu Shuo moved closer to the two people walking in front, hoping to make the masked people feel that they were indeed in the same group as these two, and at the same time secretly prayed that they could just leave like this and nothing would happen.
Closer, more and more, five meters... Three meters... One meter, it seemed that the two sides were about to pass by, but at this moment, the masked leader pulled out the toothed blade behind him, which was almost two meters long.
"Stop! Bastard, do you think you can take my prey right under my nose?! β
Xu Shuo paused, and let out a "sigh" in his heart.
(Isn't it that simple?) οΌ
The strange woman also stopped, she glanced back at Xu Shuo, with some playfulness in her eyes.
Xu Shuo knew that if she wanted to do it, this woman would not hesitate to clear the relationship, and it would be over at that time.
(No way.) οΌ
Xu Shuo adjusted his expression, then turned around and looked at the masked leader with an expression that was almost mocking, and then said in an exaggerated voice: "Hey, hey, stop, take out such a strange knife to scare whom?" β
The leader was stunned, stared at Xu Shuo, and said with a displeased face: "Who are you kid?" β
"Who am I?" Xu Shuo opened his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Does this matter?" I said, you, have you figured out the situation? β
"What?" The leader frowned.
"What? I ask you, what do you want to do now that you draw your knife out? Want to get your hands dirty? Xu Shuo laughed a few times, but immediately put away his smile again, walked up to the masked leader with a serious expression, stared into the latter's eyes and asked, "Can you beat it?" β
Although he was masked, Xu Shuo could also see how ugly the masked leader's face was after he said these words, the blue tendons on his forehead appeared, his eyebrows were twisted, and his eyes could almost burst into flames.
A crowd of masked men surrounded him, their sharp eyes shooting at him from all directions.
Xu Shuo shook his head, looked around at the masked people around him with a relaxed expression, and said in a disdainful tone: "What are you doing?" How many people there are, is it useful? β
After speaking, Xu Shuo looked at the leader in front of him again, this burly man was two heads taller than Xu Shuo, normally Xu Shuo had to raise his head when talking to this guy, but Xu Shuo didn't follow common sense, he didn't look up, just looked up at his eyes, how arrogant he looked.
"Give up, you're only Lv6, right? It only takes a thought for that adult over there to kill you, and it was her mercy before, so your head is still on your neck. I advise you to cherish the life that was saved with great difficulty, it was so hard to rise to Lv6, and it was a pity to bury your life like this. β
When Xu Shuo said the level of the masked leader, the latter's eyebrows twitched, he seemed to be a little surprised that Xu Shuo actually knew his level, but he couldn't have imagined that this was the information that the goddess Angela told Xu Shuo.
Not far away, Lilian's heart was about to rise to her throat, she really didn't understand why Xu Shuo dared to be so arrogant, although the strange woman they followed was indeed very powerful, but the strength of the masked man leader was not weak, in case the two sides were actually equal in strength, then Xu Shuo angered these masked people, wouldn't it lead to a fight between the two sides? No, this strange woman won't help them, and when the time comes, things will develop into a situation where Xu Shuo and the two of them will deal with a large group of masked people of no lower rank.
In fact, Xu Shuo is also gambling, betting that the strange woman is much stronger than the masked leader, and at the same time, the leader of the bet is also very clear about this, the reason why he dares to stop them, but he is not sure how strong the strange woman is, and Xu Shuo's task is to indirectly make the leader feel that the strange woman is really strong by expressing his position.
But although it is a gamble, Xu Shuo is not blindly gambling, there is some basis for such speculation, such a guess has some basis, such as there are many holes in the leader's clothes, these holes Xu Shuo estimates that they are not caused by the battle with the earth and stone people, according to Angela's information, the level of the earth and stone people is Lv4, and as the leader of Lv6, it is not so embarrassing to fight it, so these holes are likely to be left when fighting with the strange woman, and the size of the holes also coincides with the diameter of the strange woman's ice spikes. And it was also a battle, and the strange woman was still brightly dressed after the battle, so Xu Shuo guessed that the strength of the strange woman was above the leader.
But this argument can also be wrong, if the boss is actually a trendsetter in the fashion industry, likes to wear clothes full of holes, or if the holes are actually caused by someone else, then GG.
However, Xu Shuo was very lucky, because after he said those words just now, the other party had not made a move, which indirectly proved that he was not wrong.
"That lord easily broke through the entire labyrinth, do you know how many layers the maze has? What about the seventh layer, the highest level of the layer master level is Lv7, and that adult can do it alone, can you? Xu Shuo said with a smile, he knew that the maze had just been opened, and the leader must not know that this maze actually had only five floors, so he just talked nonsense, and the other party couldn't verify it for a while.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the masked leader's expression immediately became less hideous, although he was still angry, but his momentum had unconsciously weakened a lot.
"Heh, I guess you don't have the ability to do it either, so be it, there will be a period later." After Xu Shuo said this with a smile, he turned to the masked people around him and said, "Get out of the way, it's in the way." β
The masked people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally slowly gave way to a way.
Xu Shuo tugged at his collar and swaggered out of the crowd.
At this moment, Xu Shuo cheered loudly in his heart.
οΌniceοΌ Oscar owes me a little golden man! οΌ
But Xu Shuo didn't have long to be happy, and the voice of the masked leader came from behind him.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Xu Shuo chuckled in his heart, but he still looked relaxed and turned around and said, "If you have something to say, that adult is very busy." β
"Sure enough, I still feel suspicious, since you have that woman as a backer, then why don't you ask her to kill us? It's a little strange that she's strong, and now she's going to let us go, right? The leader's eyes were fixed on Xu Shuo, as if he wanted to see something, "Actually, that woman's skills are nothing more than that, right?" β
"Uh......" Xu Shuo was speechless for a while, he couldn't think of an answer to this question for a while, indeed, if the blame woman is from the Wen family, then normally speaking, it is normal to ask her to knock down all the people who attacked the Wen family, and it is indeed very suspicious to just leave.
Xu Shuo's reaction made the leader have some thoughts, and he said a little proudly: "Hey, little girl over there, your father died at my hands, can you bear it?" β
Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, and his heart said that it was not good.
(How is this time to be...... Damn it. οΌ
Xu Shuo turned to look at Lilian, who opened his eyes wide and looked a little glazed, as if he couldn't accept the news he had just heard for a while.
(Oh no, this is going to happen.) οΌ
