Chapter 326: Breaking the Ice

As the assessment progressed, by the time the maze segment had been underway for a full half-day, the majority of the candidates had already encountered at least one puzzle.

Of course, judging by the density of these puzzles, it was destined that not every team would have the opportunity to monopolize one; many teams encountered other groups at the same time they discovered a puzzle.

While a very small number of hot-headed individuals would certainly choose to resort to force to resolve the issue, the vast majority—

"Care to take a gamble?" As soon as these words fell, Ming Chenye raised an eyebrow, looking at Luoyu and Yun Shitian.

Yu Wei massaged her forehead; this monster was truly strange, possessing the appearance of a dog but the heart of a cat.

Just as Silver Mane was about to make a move, Xuanxuan Moyan, who had not spoken a word since entering, suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Liuxiang’s shout was extremely loud, and the neighbors watching the spectacle below heard it all clearly, causing them to look up in unison.

Suddenly, I heard a "thump"; I hadn't expected Feng Wanquan to actually kneel down directly, which was something I hadn't anticipated.

Five days ago, after Ming Fu'er left Tianxing, she followed the marks left by Ming Ya and the other two, eventually reuniting with them. During these five days, Ming Fu'er did not say a word, killing many soul beasts to vent the anger in her heart.

Ximen and Zifu, who had arrived in a hurry, had been companions for many years and were already of one mind; they only needed a single glance to understand what the other was thinking, and thus they coordinated with great tacit understanding.

A-Gui pinched my skin, pried open a slit, and then picked them out. These things had only burrowed into the skin, not the flesh, but their claws had barbs, making it especially painful when they were pulled out.

After that sensation of spinning, when Tianxing stabilized his body, he had already appeared in a vast wilderness. In the air a few yards behind him, a gray ball of light rotated slowly several times before gradually disappearing.

Mo Qiongyan, Nangong Yu, and You Ji did not stop the two of them from leaving. The leader of the Nether Sect was too difficult to kill; thinking of reaching a realm where he could be killed would take many years, and the dark, lonely time was too hard to endure.

"As expected of Young Master Shen, truly impressive. I also agree that the people who drugged Lan Xing are not the same group as those looking for Lan Xing," the bureau chief said, looking at Shen Mingkai with eyes full of praise.

When they arrived, Helian Wuye was still in a coma. By the time he regained consciousness, it was already dinnertime. Shen Yuanlong had intended to set off in the afternoon, but there were too many matters to handle, and by the time they were settled, it was already late, so he simply stayed the night to depart tomorrow morning.

Helplessly, Xiangye and Javelin returned to the palace "hand-in-hand," though the distance between the two was always kept at over ten meters because Bai Bing and Xuedai kept blocking the space between them.

The palace lanterns were just lit when a cool breeze blew in. Xing'er shuddered, unable to help but shiver. She looked up and saw that the pitch-black night sky didn't even have a single star; the moon had hidden itself away, and the wind was growing stronger—was the weather about to change?

After Zhao Zixian escaped, Young Master Wang showed a look of regret and muttered to himself, "If only I had killed him." But upon second thought, his heart blossomed with joy. Zhao Zixian dared to commit a crime in public, which meant he was not far from a prison cell, and the fate of the Zhao Catering Group was at an end.

Mu Qingqing felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her body trembled, and her already pale face turned even paler.

A hydrangea ball—such a thing must, of course, be beautiful and capable of expressing one's sincerity, so poor Bai Bing was thus sold out by her, Yekaterina.

Xuan Shao, who had once refused, stating he had no such talent, did not push back much this time and agreed.

On the surface of the moon, there were huge, pitted "craters" everywhere, giving the originally gray moon a hint of decadence and a faint, lingering aura of death.
