Everything looked the same in the tunnel.
After walking for more than an hour, the big scorpion pondered for a while before speaking up, “Elder King, could it be that we have been in the same place all along?
They had already walked for an unknown distance, but they were still not seeing anything. Instead, it was still a long passageway that seemed to lead to the depths of someplace.
It was possible that they would continue walking until they died. Perhaps they were already trapped here.
Once this idea was brought up, everyone was somewhat convinced because they had more or less harbored the worry, though they did not say it out loud.
Now, they only had one option left, and that was to walk back the way they came.
Qin Chen looked at the path they came from. It was layers of deep and repetitive tunnels. This gave him a bad feeling, but he quickly threw the feeling to the back of his mind.
“Then let’s go back.”
After saying that, the Elder King led everyone back the way they came. Logically speaking, it would not be long before they could leave.
It was only after they had traveled at full speed for several hours that they realized something was wrong. The path back seemed to have disappeared. It was more like an endless loop maze.
Logically speaking, they should have returned to the entrance by now.
Now, they had no idea how to leave.
The surroundings of the tunnel looked the same, but the problem was that they could no longer get out.
Rocks fell from the wall from time to time.
“You jinx,” The true dragon scolded the big scorpion.
In fact, even if the big scorpion didn’t voice his worries, everyone would still ultimately realize their predicament. It was just that they had noticed it earlier now.
“Elder King, why don’t we try to open a path through this wall?”
The flame-wing beast looked at the wall. As long as Qin Chen gave the order, it would smash a big hole in this f*cking tunnel. At that time, they would surely be able to get out of here.
“Have you ever thought about this? If we can escape just by breaking the wall, it would be too easy. I think if we really do that, we might encounter other dangers. Can you guarantee that the path that you open up is the one for us to leave this tunnel? Could it be that it would be another endless cycle?”Qin Chen shook his head.
In his opinion, if they were trapped here, there must be a reason. As long as they found the reason, they could find a solution.
“Is it an illusion?
He raised his head and looked at the wall. No one knew what he was thinking.
He did not feel the existence of an illusion at all. It was as if this was just his guess.
If it wasn’t an illusion, what could it be? Could it be a spatial distortion?
There was only one possibility. If it was indeed a spatial distortion, then their power would have to be at least stronger than the spatial distortion here in order to escape.
If their strength was not enough, they might fall into the spatial distortion. At that time, the best outcome would be their bodies being shattered, and the worst outcome would be their bodies and primordial spirit being torn apart into shreds.
Fortunately, they hadn’t let the flame-wing beast smash a path out. Otherwise, they might have fallen into a situation with a slim chance of survival..
