Chapter 64: Blood Flows Out

  If he hadn't known him for a long time, Fatso would never have believed the scene in front of him.

  In the ancestral hall, a person suddenly appeared out of thin air, and this person was none other than Tian Qi, who had gone missing.

  "Am I dreaming?" Fatso pinched the 'flesh' on his body with all his might, and the clear pain told him that everything he saw in front of him was real.

  "Don't doubt it anymore, I'm not wrong, but this is only a part of my soul, and it can only last for a while. There's no time to explain to you, how come you're the only one here? Where's Yingying?" Tian Qi said.

  It's better not to mention this, but as soon as the fat boy is mentioned, I feel a little embarrassed. Tian Qi reminded him when he left to take good care of Yingying and not let her do something irrational because of impulsiveness, but now Yingying has also gone missing.

  Pangzi briefly told Tianqi about what had happened, and this matter couldn't be blamed on Pangzi. Tianqi also knew that. The time lasted less than ten minutes, and Tianqi's figure gradually disappeared.

  When Ma Wen arrived, Tian Qi had already left for a while.

  In the 'maze', Tian Qi opened his eyes with his eyes closed, and his body swayed and was supported by Qiu Shen.

  "Are you all right?" Qiu asked with concern.

  Tian Qi shook his head, "I just feel that my soul is a bit weak now, nothing else is wrong, it's the first try, the persistence time was too short."

  In the "Maze" Palace, Tian Qi and Qiu Shen finally met together. Now the two are sitting in a safe place, with Qiu Shen holding the "Yin Yang Mirror" shining on Tian Qi's body. Tian Qi had just used the power of the "Yin Yang Mirror" to let part of his soul leave his body and return to the ancestral hall.

  Zhang Xin had once used the ability of the 'Yin' Yang mirror to help Tian Qi and his group, and had even given the 'Yin' Yang mirror to him. However, Tian Qi didn't know whether it was because he himself wasn't capable or if he hadn't grasped the correct method, but he couldn't use it on himself. Even the part of his soul that had exited his body couldn't hold onto the 'Yin' Yang mirror, and could only let Chou Shen hold it.

  "Yingying has come to find us, is she also in the 'maze' now?" Qiu Shen asked anxiously as soon as he heard that Yingying had come to find them.

  Tian Qi told about the situation in the ancestral hall. He originally thought he could hold on until Ma Wen arrived, but he failed.

  "It seems our plan needs a change, we have to go find Yingying now."

  No need for Tian Qi to say it, Chou Shen also thought so.

  But now there's a question, that day he entered here at noon, because after the sun passes, vampires can't be exposed to sunlight, so they can't come find them right away, but at night he should be able to come out.

  But Fatso said that at night, Ma Wen went to find them and told the situation to Yingying and Fatso. He also strongly prevented Yingying from coming to find himself and Tianqi, but he didn't say that he would come to find them, implying that it was very dangerous here at night.

  "Could it be that we've been calculated? What 'hidden' plan does Ma Wen have?" said Bian Tianqi as he walked.

  "No, I think this might be a taboo for Ma Wen, he can't come in." Chu Shen speculated.

  Tian Qi nodded in agreement, he also felt that Ma Wen was genuinely helping them, and there must be a reason why he couldn't come in.

  At the appointed time, Ma Wenyu appeared as scheduled, but unexpectedly learned two pieces of news from Pangzi: one was that Yingying had gone missing, and the other was that Tianqi had come by earlier and drawn a simple topographic map, marking their location.

  Pangzi handed the temporary map drawn by Tian Qi to Ma Wen, and the two of them walked out of the temple gate.

  "Big brother, stop gesturing, I don't know what you mean. Tian Qi just told me to give this '交' to you and let you find them." On the way, Ma Wen's hands kept gesturing, his mouth also making hoarse sounds, but Pangzi was completely baffled by what he meant, and could only get anxious.

  They soon arrived at the waterfall, and Fatso followed Ma Wen to the entrance, that narrow and long path.

  "Is this the only way?" Fatso asked with difficulty as he looked at the road in front of him, although he knew it was a pointless question.

  As expected, Ma Wen nodded and then went in first to lead the way for Pangzi from the front.

  Taking a deep breath, Fatso tried his best to pull his belly back in, but it was still somewhat difficult for him.

  "Come and help me, I'm stuck here!" Not far away, the fat man got stuck in a relatively narrow place, unable to move forward or backward.

  With Ma Wen's help, after spending a lot of effort for half a day, Pangzi finally passed through several narrow places, but the clothes on his belly were also worn out, and the "meat" was rubbed with blood stains. Adding to this the cool environment here, it hurt him constantly humming.

  He took a few more steps, and Fatty's feet slipped, almost falling down. He looked down to see that it was his rubber 'stick'.

  His heart sank, Yan Yan had been here before, but why did she drop the rubber 'stick' on the ground, had she encountered some danger?

  The fat man stopped Ma Wen and wanted to ask him if there would be any danger here at night.

  Fatso asked, Ma Wen raised his head and pointed upwards, where the dense, swarming corpse worms were attached.

  "Why didn't you say so earlier!" The fatty didn't know that they were corpse worms, but the dense and dark clusters made people feel very uncomfortable, and their body would naturally break out in goosebumps.

  The fatty didn't dare ask Ma Wen if these insects would eat people, or he was avoiding the question. If the answer was affirmative, then it's very likely that Yingying has already encountered an accident. Not saying anything still leaves a glimmer of hope.

  The fat man stopped for a moment and urged Ma Wen to continue walking forward.

  "I went there, it's so high!" At the end of the road, Fatso saw the outside building and couldn't help but be amazed.

  "You said Tian Qi they just went out and entered by themselves?" Although Fatzi can't understand what Ma Wen means now, he has already said it before, and Yingying has translated it.

  Ma Wen nodded.

  Fat boy carefully came out of the 'cave' and then took slow steps forward, because they walked fast, at this time, before noon, Ma Wen followed behind Fat Boy and also came out of the 'cave'.

  Like this, Baozi and Ma Wen gradually approached the "Maze" Palace. Just as they were not far from one of the entrances to the "Maze" Palace, Baozi suddenly disappeared!

  Baozi was in front and Ma Wen was behind. The two were no more than three meters apart, but Baozi suddenly disappeared without a trace.

  Ma Wen was extremely anxious and quickened his pace. Just as he was about to enter the 'Maze', his heart suddenly ached terribly.

  He touched his empty chest cavity with a look of astonishment, his heart was already gone, why did it still hurt, and the closer he got to the labyrinth, the more obvious the pain became.

  But he looked at the map in his hand and gritted his teeth as he walked into the 'maze'.

  Fatso was certain he had been awake all along, but then Tian Qi and Chou Shen suddenly appeared in front of him, and the scene before his eyes changed. At this moment, he found himself already inside the "Maze" Palace, and Ma Wen, who had been following him, also disappeared without a trace.

  Because he had mentally prepared in advance, Fatso was not too surprised, but now that he was alone, he couldn't help feeling scared. Tianqi said this place was very dangerous, and although they had already solved some problems, they didn't know how big the place was.

  Fat boy tried hard to recall the topographic map given by Tian Qi, where was safe and where was still unknown, because he gave the map to Ma Wen.

  But the wall is very high here, and the road is not wide. Moreover, the width of the road is basically the same everywhere. Fatzi can't see any difference, and it all looks like the terrain map given to him by Tianqi. This is also because he doesn't understand much about this aspect, otherwise he could have guessed some clues.

  "Ma Wen! Tian Qi! Chou Shen!" The fat man could only wait here, then took a deep breath and shouted loudly, hoping they would walk nearby and hear his voice.

  This is also what Tianqi told him to do. If he can't find the location on the map and is alone, then he will wait in place and keep passing on through sound.

  At this time, Ma Wen was in the 'maze' with a topographic map in one hand and covering his chest with the other, searching for the whereabouts of several people. He encountered several places with danger, but those animals hid far away as soon as they saw him.

  The pain grew more severe, and Ma Wen felt as if his heart was being compressed by something. The deeper he went into the 'maze', the more severe the compression became, as if warning him to leave quickly.

  However, he endured the pain and did not give up. Although his chest was already stained with fresh blood, from the moment he regained consciousness, his empty chest had been bleeding for the first time.

  Ma Wen had a hunch that if he continued on like this, he would die, and even his current state couldn't be maintained, it would be a complete disappearance.
