() Among the eight people in the group, Nangong Xi's physical strength was the worst.

Although Nangong Wei is no longer supported, it is due to the greater physical consumption of supporting Nangong Xi.

After Huang Tianyuan and Xiao Tianhe each picked up one person, they didn't go far, only heard a "poof" behind them, and when they looked back, Dongfang You also lay down. Dongfang Zuo squatted down and wanted to help, but his trembling feet couldn't support it, and he sat on the ground.

In fact, the physical strength of these two brothers is quite good, but it is too much effort to carry the two terrifying giant knives on their backs.

Dongfang You put the giant knife aside, he was sweating profusely, his face was pale, almost collapsed, and he said intermittently: "Wait...... When I go back, I'm going to get out of ...... The Dongfang family joined Nangong ...... Family, look at other people's knives, how thin they ......"

"Don't you hold it up, don't make fun of us. Nangong Wei laughed and was helpless.

"If you persist, you should reach the end soon. Although Xiao Tianhe can still stand, he is close to the limit, even he himself is skeptical, but there is no way, it is better to keep a glimmer of hope than to despair.

"You said that hours ago...... As a result, it has been going around and around......" Ximen Temple shook his head, leaning against the wall and gasping violently.

Xiao Tianhe smiled bitterly: "It's true." I have a rough idea of the size of the labyrinth according to the path we have traveled, and although we are circling in circles, we are getting smaller and smaller, gradually approaching the center of the labyrinth. That must be the end of the labyrinth. ”

Beitang Ying asked, "Then how long do you think we will have to go?"

"At the speed just now, it will take one or two hours to be fast, and it will be ...... if it is slow Seven or eight hours is also possible. ”

Ximen Temple raised his voice: "What? Seven or eight hours? In such a tired situation, I'm afraid even half an hour is enough to survive!"

Xiao Tianhe explained: "Don't worry, that's just the worst estimate, how long it will take, it depends on whether this road leads to the center of the maze or a small circle." ”

"It's not going to go on like this, so let's go first. Nangong Xi said.

"No! I won't abandon my companions. Xiao Tianhe didn't think about it at all.

Nangong Wei said: "But we are just a burden now, we can't drag everyone to be trapped here, right?"

"I think they're right. It's not that we're on the sidelines, it's that we can't help it. "Ximen Temple Road.

Kitado Taka also agreed: "I have long said that I will only help others when I still have the ability to spare. ”

Xiao Tianhe frowned, these two people only cared about themselves, and it seemed that they couldn't count on it. "Brother Huang, what about you?"

"Since you have been elected leader, I should obey my orders. "Huang Tianyuan is still righteous.

"Okay! Ximen and Beitang, you go first. Xiao Tianhe and Huang Tianyuan got out of the way, one left and one right.

Ximen Temple and Beitang Eagle glanced at each other, and the two crossed the two Dongfang brothers who were sitting on the ground. When passing in front of Xiao Tianhe, Ximen Temple glanced at Xiao Tianhe, and his eyes were very complicated, as if there was admiration and regret.

Xiao Tianhe asked Dongfang Zuo: "Can you still hold on?"

"It's barely okay!" Dongfang Zuo stood up with his palms propped up, and with the help of Huang Tianyuan, he picked up Dongfang You together.

Xiao Tianhe tore off a few strips of cloth from the side hem of his clothes, twisted them into a long rope, tied them around his waist with Huang Tianyuan and Dongfang Zuo, and carried one person in each frame, and strung the giant knife handle rings of the two Dongfang brothers together, dragging them at the end. Xiao Tianhe was first, Dongfang Zuo was in the middle, and Huang Tianyuan was behind, and the six of them moved forward together in a string.

Xiao Tianhe, who was at the forefront, was undoubtedly the most tired. Sweating, my eyes blurred, and I could feel my legs trembling with every step. There seemed to be no end to the road ahead, and he gasped for breath, the frequency becoming more and more rapid.

"I'm in front!" Huang Tianyuan saw that Xiao Tianhe's steps were a little staggering, and hurriedly rushed forward, and the team was in tune with each other and continued to move forward.

The three people who were supported had already fainted, and it didn't take long for Dongfang Zuo to be gone.

Among the six, only Xiao Tianhe and Huang Tianyuan are still awake.

"Brother Xiao, there's really no way. It's time to let go. Huang Tianyuan was so tired that his face was bloodless, he put down Nangong Xi, and put his hands on his knees and panted.

Xiao Tianhe couldn't even speak, but he shook his head silently and pointed not far ahead.

There is an intersection, with three forks leading in three directions. Xiao Tianhe was pointing to the road to the right. Huang Tianyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a little red light came through the fork in the road on the right!

From the beginning of entering the labyrinth, the only thing that filled everyone's eyes was the same earthy yellow, and even the candlelight on the walls was very dim in the huge labyrinth. At this moment, the red light from the fork in the road on the right is undoubtedly the last hope!

The two gritted their teeth and insisted, took up the Nangong brothers, dragged the Dongfang brothers with a cloth rope, and slowly walked through dozens of difficult steps to the crossroads.

Xiao Tianhe couldn't support it anymore, he was lying on the ground top-heavy, looking sideways, but suddenly felt the red light dazzling, hazy.

"It's right there, Brother Xiao, hold on!" Huang Tianyuan's weak voice called back Xiao Tianhe, who was about to go into shock.

From the gap in his slightly open eyes, Xiao Tianhe saw clearly that more than ten zhang away, there was a door glowing red, and there was the end of the road.

The last distance of more than ten zhang is like a chasm, and every step the two of them climb, it seems to be closer to the Yellow Spring of Purgatory. Huang Tianyuan untied the magic knife on his back and cut off the cloth rope on his waist and Xiao Tianhe. Xiao Tianhe was no longer able to care about the others, just staring at the dazzling red in front of him. The two put their hands on each other's shoulders and headed towards the finish line together.

Nine zhang, eight zhang, seven zhang...... Xiao Tianhe felt as if his head was about to explode, his body seemed to be burdened, and his feet were exhausted

Last bit of strength.

Six zhang, five zhang, four zhang...... The necks of the two of them could no longer support their heads, their faces touched the ground and rubbed, only the arms with straight hairs were still highlighting the green tendons and making the last striving.

Three zhang, two zhang, one zhang...... Xiao Tianhe didn't seem to be able to see how far he was from the end, and there was only one thought left in his heart: My hand hasn't touched the gate yet, and it hasn't arrived yet!

In the last leg of the difficulty, the two of them can be said to have "moved" to the end inch by inch, the tip of their noses, lips and one side of their faces have been worn out, leaving two blood stains on the road. The moment Xiao Tianhe's fingertips touched the threshold, an irresistible pressure swept through his entire body, and he finally passed out.

If it weren't for the hard work of building the foundation, if it weren't for the cliff climbing in the Night Crying Valley, if it weren't for Ye Congyun's strict tempering, if it weren't for the extraordinary medicinal effect of the Heavenly Demon Pill, how could Xiao Tianhe survive until this last moment?

......

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Tianhe opened his eyes drowsily.

"Are you awake?" beside him, Huang Tianyuan was meditating, and when he saw Xiao Tianhe get up, he smiled behind him.

Xiao Tianhe looked around, this was not a labyrinth, but a room.

There was a faint red light on the walls, ceiling, and even the floor, and the room was dim and hazy, and it was already a blur a few feet away.

The room is long in length, but narrow on both sides, and is more appropriately called a "tunnel" than a room.

"Where is this?" asked Xiao Tianhe. He noticed a few people lying not far away, and although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they were other companions from their clothes.

Huang Tianyuan replied: "After crossing that door, I also fainted. When I opened my eyes, everyone was already here. ”

At this time, a figure walked out of the darkness behind the two of them: "There is a dead end over there, and it will end dozens of feet away." ”

Xiao Tianhe turned his head and saw that it was Beitang Ying, who had abandoned everyone before.

"Actually, it's not 'over', we're sucked in by the red gate. Ximen Temple also walked over from the other end and pointed behind him, "It should be a living road over there, but the further you go, the darker the light becomes, so I'll come back first." ”

Xiao Tianhe propped himself up, sat cross-legged on the ground, moved the muscles and bones of his upper body slightly, and his physical strength seemed to have recovered a lot. The other companions, who had been left behind when they had climbed to the end, were now in the room, along with their weapons. In this way, the maze of the first level can be regarded as passed.

But just when Xiao Tianhe was just relieved, Ximen Temple asked an astonishing sentence: "Xiao Daoyou, what about Nangong Xi Daoyou? Why didn't you see him?"

"What!" Xiao Tianhe was so shocked that he bounced up from the ground, and he hurriedly stepped in front of the few people who were still unconscious, Dongfang Zuo, Dongfang You, and Nangong Wei were all there, but Nangong Xi was missing.

"It's not good...... Xiao Tianhe suddenly had goosebumps on his body, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

Huang Tianyuan guessed: "Didn't he wake up first and go to the front to explore the way?"

Xiao Tianhe glanced around the ground and shook his head: "No, he still has a rope tied to his body, if he wakes up first, he will definitely untie the rope." ”

"Just now I went over there to explore the road, and I walked for nearly a hundred feet, and I didn't see any figures. Besides, Nangong Daoyou was the first to fall into a coma, indicating that his physical strength was relatively poor, and he should not wake up so quickly. "Ximen Temple Road.

At this time, Nangong Wei had already sobered up, and after hearing everyone's conversation, he asked, "Ahem, if he wasn't here, where would he be?"

Xiao Tianhe sighed: "I'm afraid...... He was eliminated. ”

The crowd was silent. The strange labyrinth is undoubtedly a test set by the Demon Lord, but no one knows what will happen if it fails.

"Anyway, recover your strength first, and then move on. Huang Tian said from afar.

While everyone was meditating, Ximen Temple came to Xiao Tianhe and whispered: "Xiao Daoyou, I didn't expect that with your early realm of Cave Void, your physical strength is even more abundant than mine. At the last minute, I was exhausted and couldn't afford to be distracted by others. Xiao Daoyou not only reached the end by himself, but also brought several other people over. I really admire!"

Xiao Tianhe was still worried about Nangong Xi, who was missing, how could he have the heart to listen to Ximen Temple's flattery, in fact, he also understood what Ximen Temple's meaning was, so he said: "In that extreme situation, it is understandable for you to go first." I have a deep friendship with Nangong and the two brothers, and of course I will not abandon them. You and I have different positions, and Ximen Daoist friends don't have to feel ashamed. ”

"Brother Xiao is really open-minded. In times of crisis, I will be with you. Although I don't know if Ximen Temple is really convinced, the title has changed from "Xiao Daoyou" to "Xiao Brother".

"Thank you. Xiao Tianhe continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

"Grunt", after a long time, suddenly there was a slight muffled sound from a distance, which immediately alerted everyone. Everyone stood up.

Listening closely, there was silence except for the sound of breathing.

A moment later, there was another muffled sound.

"What is that sound?" said Dongfang. The voice was small and dull, as far away as if it were so close that it could not be heard from any direction.

"Boom", this time the voice sounded a little, and Beitang Ying noticed something strange and exclaimed: "It's the wall moving!"

Xiao Tianhe's heart froze, and he glanced left and right, and the walls on both sides were indeed closer. "No, everyone, let's go, the wall is about to close!" he immediately jumped out.

Everyone followed closely, and the moment everyone started, the muffled sound turned into a continuous friction sound, and sure enough, as Xiao Tianhe guessed, the walls on both sides were slowly approaching!

Although there was no fork in the long road, due to poor sight, Xiao Tianhe and Huang Tianyuan at the front did not dare to show their skills at all. But fortunately, it's different from the maze here

, the rate of physical exertion returned to normal. On the way to the gallop, Xiao Tianhe once tried to slash on the side wall, but he didn't even leave a mark, which shows how hard the wall is!

"No, you can't press the speed, everyone moves forward!" Huang Tianyuan shouted, his body rushed out like lightning, and the "Stepping on the Void Body Method" was used to the extreme.

Others followed him like meteors catching the moon.

There is no fork in the long road, and there seems to be no end. Everyone took a Nayan Pill that had recovered their Xuan Strength, and traveled at the fastest speed for an hour. During this time, the walls did not stop moving closer to each other, and although slowly, the gap between the two walls gradually narrowed over time to the point where only one person could pass through.

Huang Tianyuan is at the forefront. He held the magic knife in front of him in case of a sudden situation. Behind are Xiao Tianhe, Nangong Wei, Beitang Ying, Ximen Temple, Dongfang Zuo, Dongfang You.

Nangong Wei was a little anxious: "Damn, why is this road so long?"

"On the other side, it won't be a dead end, right?" Dongfang Zuo's voice trembled slightly.

"Impossible! If this is a dead end, everyone really has only a 'dead end'!" Ximen Temple said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a scream in front of me, and a rain of blood poured on everyone.

"What's going on?" the few people in the back couldn't see what was going on in front of them. Before Nangong Wei came back to his senses, he tripped over something under his feet, and it was actually a leg! Immediately after, his arms, body, and head rolled under everyone's feet in turn, and everyone didn't react until they saw the face of the deceased, and Huang Tianyuan, who was rushing to the front, had already been dismantled in an instant!

But the speed at which the two walls approached did not allow everyone to stop.

"Everyone be careful, there are enemies!" Xiao Tianhe shouted, wiping a handful of blood splashed on his face. He didn't see anything clearly just now, only to feel a few bright lights flashing in front of him, and Huang Tianyuan's body was split into several pieces, leaving only a thick blood mist.

It's really terrible that in such a narrow place, at such an urgent moment, you have to guard against an enemy who is so fast that you can't see it!

Xiao Tianhe's nerves tensed, and he tried to stare at the dim place a few feet away in front of him with his eyes wide open, and while continuing to move forward at a rapid pace, he was on guard with the Heavenly Enemy Sword in his hand.

The corridor was extremely narrow, and only Huang Tianyuan's body was left behind, which showed that the murderer was hidden in the darkness ahead. Being able to cut Huang Tianyuan in the middle of the cave void into pieces in an instant, the sword technique was so fast that there were only a few rays of light, and the body technique was so fast that he couldn't even see the shadow, how high should the enemy's realm be? To be honest, against such an enemy, Xiao Tianhe didn't have the slightest grasp in his heart.

After a few breaths, the mysterious enemy did not attack again. By this time, the corridor had narrowed to just over two feet wide, and even waving his arm occasionally scraped against the wall. There is still room for ordinary people, but for the burly two Dongfang brothers, they need to shoulder slightly to continue to pass.

"It's really suffocating!" Dongfang Zuo complained, after a while, he could only move sideways, not only his posture was quite inconvenient, but his speed would be greatly affected, "Third brother, how are you?"

Didn't wait for an answer.

When Dongfang Zuo looked back, he was taken aback, and Dongfang You's figure was missing behind him.

Dongfang Zuo's mind was in chaos, and he didn't notice when he couldn't hear Dongfang You's wheezing and footsteps anymore.

"Could it be that he is exhausted and left behind?" Dongfang Zuo slowed down in confusion, "No, I have to go back to save him!" He made up his mind and was about to turn around, but he was grabbed by the arm, Ximen Temple yelled: "You are crazy, you will be finished if you go back!"

Dongfang Zuo was pulled by Ximen Temple in a daze, and muttered in his mouth: "Third brother...... The third brother is gone?"

Due to the delay between Ximen Temple and Dongfang Zuo, there has been a distance from the Beitang Eagle in front. In the hazy dimness, I could only vaguely see a figure shaking in front of me.

The walls on both sides of the corridor were already only a foot closer, and even a figure like Ximen Temple could only move sideways. Dongfang Zuo's back was already pressed against the wall, and his chest rose and fell violently in the space of no more than an inch away from the other wall as he breathed rapidly.

"It seems that this life really has to be explained here......" Dongfang Zuo gasped regretfully.

"If you want to die, everyone will die together, what are you afraid of!"

"I'm not afraid, I'm just ...... If it weren't for Xiao Daoyou and Huang Daoyou, I'm afraid I would have died in the labyrinth. Now that Huang Daoyou is dead, I still owe Xiao Daoyou a favor that has not been reported......"

Ximen Temple couldn't cry and laughed: "When death is dying, do you still have time to think about this? I really don't know whether to say that you are simple or stupid......

"How you treat me, how I treat you. The kindness has not been repaid, and it is difficult to feel at ease. Dongfang Zuo spat out such a sentence.

"It's over!" Xiao Tianhe's shout suddenly came from the front, and Ximen Temple was suddenly overjoyed.

Not far in front of Xiao Tianhe, a yellow light came through the dim light. When I got closer, it turned out that at the end of the corridor was a glittering golden door. "The Red Gate starts and the Golden Gate ends, and it seems that it is the end. Xiao Tianhe lowered his head and slammed into the door with his shoulders sideways, and his figure disappeared suddenly. Immediately afterwards, Nangong Wei and Beitang Ying also plunged into the golden light.

The walls were still gradually closing, Ximen Temple looked at the light in front of him, sweating profusely, and the hot breath he exhaled blew onto the wall and bounced back to his face, and the two walls finally caught the last two.

Ximen Temple was still trying to rub between the two walls, and at this time he couldn't look back at Dongfang Zuo's situation, so he could only say encouragement: "Follow me, the exit is in front!"

"You, you go quickly, I'm out of breath, I'm out of breath!" Dongfang Zuo replied with difficulty, he seemed to be about to give up.

It's a shame that the end is so close.
