Coupled with Shao Bai’s sword and their united force, the blood-eating scorpions were quickly slashed to death.

The remaining advanced scorpions hurriedly stopped on the track and receded like a tide, disappearing in an instant. 

For a moment, the ground was filled with dead scorpions and their blood. The scene looked so terrifying, but in the next instant, the scorpions turned into a cloud of black energy and disappeared completely, leaving the place as it was before. 

“It’s a maze.” Shao Bai’s deep voice sounded: “We don’t know where these scorpions came from. Unknowingly, we were caught in a maze. The road ahead may be even more dangerous.”

I just don’t know what kind of formation it is.

Shao Xin looked around the surroundings. “A general maze must have an exit, but this one was flawless, leaving no clues behind. I have never seen this kind of formation in the books before.”

While everyone was tangled up and worrying about the exit, Kong Yu stepped in and pacified the situation: “Don’t worry, from now on, we all have to be more careful to not encounter any strange things again.”

Shao Xin nodded his head solemnly.

Ji Yan watched the group of people seriously discuss the maze and the big guy next to her and silently thought, ‘It took you guys so long to find it but her man had long seen it’. As expected, the big guy is the big guy. 

Although Yin Xuezhuo lost all his spell and power and could not fight right now, his brain was definitely online. 

Feeling so proud of her man, she turned her head to him and saw the annoyed expression on his face, and felt he must feel the quacks were making noise again.

Yin Xuezhuo: I am annoyed because you cut my nails.

Completely unaware that it was she who angered him. After watching the show for a while, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at Yin Xuezhuo. Yin Xuezhuo coldly turned away without paying attention to her, causing Ji Yan to be bewildered.

“What’s wrong with you?” She couldn’t help but utter the slag quotes.

She tugged his sleeve, but he simply shook off her hand, walked a few steps to the side, and distancing himself from her.

Ji Yan: “…”

She stared blankly at him as if to stare out a hole in his face. Yin Xuezhuo ignored her anyway, seeing that she simply ignored him, and went to Shao Xin’s side and listened to them without caring about Yin Xuezhuo.

Yin Xuezhuo made a fool of himself and couldn’t help but secretly glance at her again, resulting in a collision with her gaze.

Ji Yan: “…” What the hell is this guy doing?

Yin Xuezhuo: “…” Damn, she caught me.

The two looked at each other for seconds and averted their gazes. The people here were still seriously discussing their plan of getting out of this maze, but the atmosphere between them was getting more and more awkward until Kong Yu said, “Lets go ahead.” 

Kong Yu took the lead, everyone followed behind while Ji Yan had a hard time walking on one foot. Despite being angry, Yin Xuezhuo coldly squatted down in front of her and carried her on his back again.

Ji Yan was very confused about his behavior of the short ten-minute cold and came over to her again after he finished sulking to cary her over. Maybe it was because such behavior was too self-contradictory. While he was carrying her on his back, Ji Yan felt that he was even more angry.

His behavior was more like that of an angry cat. The cat would come out and scratch or slap the person with its paw, but here she cut off Yin Xuezhuo’s paws, so he couldn’t scratch her, and could only scream fiercely.

Amused by her brainstorming, she laughed on his back, “Puff ha ha ha ha.”

Yin Xuezhuo paused for a moment, his entire body stiffened like a statue.

She reached out and hooked his neck again, and took advantage of others not paying attention to quickly boop him on the face.

“Zhuo Zhuo, don’t ignore me, okay…” she gently rubbed against the side of his neck.

As she spoke, her warm breath blew on his skin. It was like a soft feather brushing against him, making him feel itch. Her voice was sweet and delicate, like the softest whisper.

Yin Xuezhuo lowered his eyes, looked at his feet, and tightened his grip a little bit. Ji Yan was like a poison to him, always making him look unlike himself. One minute, she would make him angrier to the core, but the next instant, she coaxed him to change back to normal with no residual anger behind.

Yin Xuezhuo was a little annoyed for always not getting angry with her, he stomped on the stone on the ground into powder with one foot and vented his emotions.

They kept walking for a long time and along the way encountered several waves of blood-eating scorpion attacks, though the path was still endless and seemed to be spinning around in the same place. But the rocks and mountains did not repeat themselves at each place. Shao Bai’s face became more and more gloomy, and finally, everyone found a flat and wide place to rest for a while.

After Ji Yan was put down, she shrank in the corner alone, took off her shoes and socks while grimacing in pain, and saw her sprained blue ankle.

“Ji Yan, how is your feet?” Shao Xin’s concerned voice sounded from a little distance. It was inconvenient for a man to look at the woman’s feet, so he did not come over, but called her from afar. 

Not knowing how to answer, Ji Yan remained silent for a long time. Shao Xin, who didn’t get any response, walked in after a long hesitation. His face was flushed red as if he was a little embarrassed. Before Ji Yan was surprised to scream out, he whispered “offended”, then lowered down to her level and held her ankle, and gently twisted it.

“Ah!” Ji Yan cried out in pain, instantly bursting into tears.

Ji Yan’s scream instantly attracted Yin Xuezhou’s attention. He turned his eyes and looked over, his dark eyes were filled with sullen anger, and he licked his pointed teeth, and murderous intent tumbled in his eyes.

Although she didn’t look back, she could feel a cold gaze penetrate her, her scalp tightened, and the alarm bell in her heart became loud. Shao Xin was still oblivious to it, looking up at her: “Your bones are displaced, I’ve already helped you to get it right, Be careful of your ankles in the next few days, as long as you apply the spirit medicine, the swelling will soon subside.”

Ji Yan nodded hurriedly, “Thank you Shao Xin.” Shao Xin smiled at her again in embarrassment, “I used to practice outside, I only know the fur…”

Seeing that he was going to talk to her again, and the temperature of his eyes behind him had reached freezing point, Ji Yan quickly raised her hand and stroked her forehead, pretending to be a little tired, “Shao Xin, I want to rest for a while now…”
