Lou Fan is sure that they had only crossed 1 intersection, which is a crossroads. But the intersection in front of him is a T-junction, which means if his memory is not wrong, then this maze is very problematic.
Seeing that both Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang looked stunned, then hearing Lou Fan make a sigh, Zhuo Lan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Why are we not moving? What are you sighing at?"
"I knew that this maze won't be that simple." Lou Fan said softly as if talking to himself. Then he answered, "If I'm not mistaken, this maze is constantly changing. We passed a crossroad before but now it's a T-junction, which means we can only rely on luck. Whatever marks we left previously will disappear."
Hearing that, Zhuo Lan is stunned, as if she didn't understand what Lou Fan was saying. The scene of the 3 people falling into a trap on the ground is still flashing in front of her eyes. Their terrible screams echoed in her ears, and her worldview seemed to have collapsed. Now she heard Lou Fan say this, she just feels like the world is spinning.
Does that mean they can't get out?
The Level 1 team member beside Zhuo Lan supported her body that is about to slide down and she grabbed the person's arm tightly as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
"What are you thinking so much about? Just keep walking." A lazy voice sounded. Nie Feng had a hint of impatience in his eyes and didn't even look at Zhuo Lan as he added, "Let's go ahead first. If we encounter anything, we’ll just have to fight."
This is a violent person as well, Lou Fan smiled. Then he turned to look at Chen Shuyang, "Shuyang, which way do you think we should go?"
Chen Shuyang touched his head, feeling a little distressed, "Brother Lou, if it’s just talking about theories, I can do it. But if the decision depends on luck, then you should do it."
Since Lou Fan doesn’t have a clue for the time being, he simply walked to the left junction. Chen Shuyang followed behind with Nie Feng next to him. Then, the 2 members of the Level 1 team supported Zhuo Lan and they followed Lou Fan too.
Zhuo Lan's heart skipped a beat, and immediately muster the strength to keep up, fearing that she would be in danger if she is slow.
Half an hour later, Lou Fan and his party of 6 walked to a dead end. At the end of the road is a very wide house-like room with 3 treasure chest-like boxes inside.
"What is this, picking a treasure chest?" One of the Level 1 team members asked.
At the same time, Qin Tan and the others also encountered the same situation, with 3 treasure chests in front of them.
[Ding dong! Welcome to the "Charming Treasure Chest" game session.
Choose the treasure chest you want the most! You will get a key if you choose the right one, and there will be a small penalty for the wrong one! The time limit is 5 minutes, please choose carefully.
Countdown begins!]
A pleasant and cheerful mechanical sound suddenly appeared. After the voice finished talking, a pale red countdown appeared in the air. It appeared out of nowhere, like a projection in mid-air.
Everyone turned to look at Lou Fan. Lou Fan glanced at the 3 boxes and asked, "Who among you would like to try?"
The Level 1 team members immediately shook their heads like a rattle. Chen Shuyang also shook his hand to reject. Nie Feng stayed silent lazily and it doesn’t look like he will say anything. Lou Fan moved his gaze to Zhuo Lan, and Zhuo Lan froze when she met his gaze.
Lou Fan asked encouragingly, "Would you like to try it?"
Zhuo Lan's eyes turned as she started thinking. Her hand on the side of her leg made a fist, and her lips moved, but in the end, she shook her head.
"Since you guys don't want to do it, I can only do the honors." Lou Fan said, walking forward to the 3 boxes, with his hand on his chin. His gaze moved back and forth as if considering which one to open.
On the other hand, Qin Tan and the others encountered the same situation. Qin Tan glanced at the people behind but they all stepped back, even Wen Lang and Jiang Dong took a step back. Qin Tan directly picked someone by name, "Wen Lang, come here."
Wen Lang waved his hand violently, "No no no, Brother Qin. I'm afraid, you should just do it! No matter what you opened up, we are okay with it!"
"You are okay with it?" Qin Tan turned to look at everyone, "You guys too?"
6 heads nodded like chickens pecking at rice[1].
Qin Tan took a deep breath, alright then. If the others don’t have any problem with it, he has no issue. Even he is afraid of himself, but if the guys aren't afraid, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Well then, I’ll open the box?" Qin Tan confirmed again.
"Open it, open it!"
Qin Tan walked to the box on the far left and stood still. He instructed everyone to be careful, took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to open the box. The box is empty and Qin Tan is stunned for a moment. The next moment, there seemed to be a sound by his ear, the sound of something breaking the air.
"Dodge!" Qin Tan shouted sharply and swiftly dodged, dodging a round bead shot from the wall. The bead fell to the ground and burst with a bang. Next, a thick black liquid flowed out.
Everyone scrambled to dodge but some beads managed to touch their clothes. Like a punctured balloon flowing out of liquid, a hole instantly appeared on the clothing, and the edge is charred.
Hiss!
The group of people did not dare to be careless and fled to the walkway outside. 5 minutes later, when no more beads are shot, everyone walked in cautiously.
"Frck, that was horrible!"
…
Lou Fan walked to the box on the far left, and without hesitation, he stretched out his hand to open the box. The golden beams of light that he expected did not appear. Instead, a small and ordinary key appeared at the bottom of the box. He bent over to pick it up, and the outline of a door suddenly appeared on the wall next to the box, as if it is being painted on the wall
"My luck is not bad." Lou Fan turned around and smiled at everyone.
Zhuo Lan asked in a low voice, "It’s that simple? Then anyone could have opened it. Don’t tell me that there’s a key in every box?"
Nie Feng looked at Zhuo Lan lazily, his eyes full of suspicion, "Are you really a top-management executive? I kind of doubt your IQ. How about you try to open a box then?"
Zhuo Lan's face flushed red, and she wanted to refute but didn't dare to speak out. The large scissors on Nie Feng's shoulders shone with cold light, and she could only give him a quiet glare.
Lou Fan walked to the door and put the key in the keyhole. He is about to turn it when he turned around and said, "Everyone, get your weapons ready. Run if you feel that there’s something wrong, don't simply stand there stupidly. I'm going to open the door now."
Lou Fan put his ear against the door and listened carefully, but there is no sound. Taking a deep breath, he turned the handle and yanked the door open.
Nothing extraordinary is happening at all!
Lou Fan stuck his head out. He can see that there is a path outside the door, and the left and right sides are empty as usual. This is a bit out of line with Lazuli's way of doing things.
In the empty corridor, there are only the footsteps of a few people for a while, which made people feel a little irritable and hopeless, not knowing where they would end up. Lou Fan couldn't help chatting with Chen Shuyang to waste away the time. Soon, their group came to an end again. In the empty room at the end, there is a huge picture frame on the middle wall, and there are many fragments on the ground. Except for the picture frame in the middle, there are 2 doors on both left and right walls. Each door has a picture on it, but there is no lock on it.
Chen Shuyang became excited and said, "It should be a puzzle, in which we will choose a door according to the information in the puzzle." After finishing speaking, he put his backpack on the ground and began to sort out the fragments on the ground.
Lou Fan isn't too interested in puzzles and went to look at each door. There are 4 patterns which are flowers, birds, fish, and insects and they are painted on the doors (1 picture per door) in very simple strokes. There is nothing special about them. He turned to see that the rest of the people are standing by the side watching Chen Shuyang sort out the fragments. So he said, "Those who know about jigsaw puzzles, help out to sort the pieces. Shuyang, let them know what kind of help you need. As for me, I won't join in the fun."
Nie Feng walked over to Chen Shuyang and sat down, watching curiously as Chen Shuyang sorted out the pieces and placed them on the ground. There are patterns on them, but Nie Feng couldn't tell what they are. In his view, it seemed that every piece looked the same. He has no idea where to start.
Lou Fan leaned on the side seemingly casually, but he is actually holding the bow tightly in his hand and looked around slowly with vigilance in his eyes. In his heart, he is wondering if anything happened to Qin Tan and the others? Lou Fan is a little worried, but thinking that the man is always calm, Lou Fan felt that there must be no problem.
…
The people who escaped the poisonous beads returned to the middle of the room again, staring at the remaining 2 boxes. There is still a 1/2 chance, so they should be able to choose the right one this time, right? Everyone turned their attention to Qin Tan.
Qin Tan walked up to the box in the middle with a sullen face. Everyone became nervous and secretly gathered up their strength. If something went wrong, they will immediately turn around and run away.
Qin Tan clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand—
Countless balls shot out from all directions, and everyone is standing in the center. When the ball touched another ball next to it, it exploded immediately, spraying colorful liquid. On the other hand, the sprayed liquid would also cause other balls to break when it hits them. For a moment, colorful liquid poured down like heavy rain, drenching the crowd to the bone. To everyone's relief, this liquid is not poisonous. Some immediately wanted to hide away, but there are too many balls and the blasting speed is fast. Halfway through the escape, no balls are being shot anymore.
Wen Lang took out a towel to wipe his body in disgust, but he couldn't wipe it off at all. He turned around and saw Jiang Dong's colorful face, and burst out laughing.
"The meaning of the word ‘五颜六色’ (colorful), I think I have a deeper understanding of it now." Wen Lang showed a deep expression, but couldn’t hold it and burst out laughing.
Jiang Dong glanced at Wen Lang, and made no secret of his contempt, "Do you even know how to write the word ‘五彩缤纷’ (colorful)? Look in the mirror yourself."
Wen Lang ignored Jiang Dong and turned to look at Qin Tan in front of him. Their team leader’s body can also be summed up in these 2 phrases. He moves fast, but his body is inevitably stained with liquid-like paint. His face looked better than theirs, but some paint still managed to get there. Then looking at the others, it is like a large-scale paint spillage scene. A word can be used to describe their group - embarrassing!
Wen Lang sighed, "I wonder if something happened to Brother Lou and Shuyang as well?"
Jiang Dong snorted and said with certainty, "With Lou Fan here, what do you think?" One doesn't need to think about it, and it definitely won't be as embarrassing as they are.
Wen Lang sighed again, "I miss Furball."
How pitiful it sounds.
Jiang Dong let Wen Lang wallow in self-pity and left him there. Seeing Qin Tan walking to the last box, he also followed. There is a key in the box, and a door immediately appeared on the wall. There is a keyhole on the top that matches the key. Qin Tan opened the door, and after confirming that there is no danger, he let out a sigh of relief. He suddenly misses Lou Fan. Staying with him, he had never been in this kind of sorry state at all.
A group of people behind him are still trying to wipe off the paint. He knocked on the door and signaled, "Let's go, don't waste your time. We've been delayed here for 5 hours."
The grumbling people reluctantly shut their mouths and followed the group out. Qin Tan took a step behind and stopped Wen Lang and Jiang Dong, "I'll leave the front to you two in a while, and I'll be in charge of vigilance."

Shuyang, let them know what kind of help you need. As for me, I won't join in the fun."Nie Feng walked over to Chen Shuyang and sat down, watching curiously as Chen Shuyang sorted out the pieces and placed them on the ground. There are patterns on them, but Nie Feng couldn't tell what they are. In his view, it seemed that every piece looked the same. He has no idea where to start.Lou Fan leaned on the side seemingly casually, but he is actually holding the bow tightly in his hand and looked around slowly with vigilance in his eyes. In his heart, he is wondering if anything happened to Qin Tan and the others? Lou Fan is a little worried, but thinking that the man is always calm, Lou Fan felt that there must be no problem.The people who escaped the poisonous beads returned to the middle of the room again, staring at the remaining 2 boxes. There is still a 1/2 chance, so they should be able to choose the right one this time, right? Everyone turned their attention to Qin Tan.Qin Tan walked up to the box in the middle with a sullen face. Everyone became nervous and secretly gathered up their strength. If something went wrong, they will immediately turn around and run away.Qin Tan clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and stretched out his handCountless balls shot out from all directions, and everyone is standing in the center. When the ball touched another ball next to it, it exploded immediately, spraying colorful liquid. On the other hand, the sprayed liquid would also cause other balls to break when it hits them. For a moment, colorful liquid poured down like heavy rain, drenching the crowd to the bone. To everyone's relief, this liquid is not poisonous. Some immediately wanted to hide away, but there are too many balls and the blasting speed is fast. Halfway through the escape, no balls are being shot anymore.Wen Lang took out a towel to wipe his body in disgust, but he couldn't wipe it off at all. He turned around and saw Jiang Dong's colorful face, and burst out laughing."The meaning of the word ' colorful, I think I have a deeper understanding of it now." Wen Lang showed a deep expression, but couldn't hold it and burst out laughing.Jiang Dong glanced at Wen Lang, and made no secret of his contempt, "Do you even know how to write the word ' colorful? Look in the mirror yourself."Wen Lang ignored Jiang Dong and turned to look at Qin Tan in front of him. Their team leader's body can also be summed up in these 2 phrases. He moves fast, but his body is inevitably stained with liquid-like paint. His face looked better than theirs, but some paint still managed to get there. Then looking at the others, it is like a large-scale paint spillage scene. A word can be used to describe their group - embarrassing!Wen Lang sighed, "I wonder if something happened to Brother Lou and Shuyang as well?"Jiang Dong snorted and said with certainty, "With Lou Fan here, what do you think?" One doesn't need to think about it, and it definitely won't be as embarrassing as they are.Wen Lang sighed again, "I miss Furball."How pitiful it sounds.Jiang Dong let Wen Lang wallow in self-pity and left him there. Seeing Qin Tan walking to the last box, he also followed. There is a key in the box, and a door immediately appeared on the wall. There is a keyhole on the top that matches the key. Qin Tan opened the door, and after confirming that there is no danger, he let out a sigh of relief. He suddenly misses Lou Fan. Staying with him, he had never been in this kind of sorry state at all.A group of people behind him are still trying to wipe off the paint. He knocked on the door and signaled, "Let's go, don't waste your time. We've been delayed here for 5 hours."The grumbling people reluctantly shut their mouths and followed the group out. Qin Tan took a step behind and stopped Wen Lang and Jiang Dong, "I'll leave the front to you two in a while, and I'll be in charge of vigilance."
