Chapter 1249 Walking out of the Maze

They walked through the pictograph tablet.

Everyone now had a different opinion of Fang Qiu.

They were surprised and wondered how John Doe knew how to pass through this maze. Like them, John Doe had just come in. But when he encountered the pictograph tablet, he didn’t hesitate and led them to walk directly through it.

It felt as if John Doe had been here before.

But…

The ancient relic had just opened.

He had spent a considerable amount of time finding the pyramid’s entrance when they were outside, which meant John Doe had not been there before.

Then, what was going on?

They felt puzzled.

But no one asked.

After all, everyone had their secrets.

“Follow me closely. This maze is very large.”

After they passed through the pictograph tablet, Fang Qiu recalled the various mechanisms recorded on the parchment and said to everyone, “There are many unpredictable dangers ahead. Don’t lag behind.”

Everyone nodded.

Although they had not witnessed what would happen if the trap was triggered, they were fully aware of the possible hazards. They were in an ancient relic. The terrifying black sandstorm outside the pyramid was already very scary, what more for the dangers which lurked inside.

No one would underestimate these potential threats.

Because once such a danger happened, it would cause deaths.

Soon…

Under Fang Qiu’s guidance, the group moved forward in the maze.

The maze walls were pretty high and of primitive simplicity. There were various claw marks on them. They seemed to have been left by some scary beasts who lived in this maze, which looked terrifying.

After they walked for some time…

They heard a gurgling sound ahead.

It seemed to be the sound of running water.

The group turned a corner.

In front of everyone emerged a passage made of quicksand, and the walls on both sides were extremely smooth. So, they couldn’t find any spot where they could go ahead.

“How can we get across?”

Everyone’s expressions changed when they saw the quicksand which sank ceaselessly into the ground.

“We can step on the walls on both sides and jump across this passage.”

One person suggested.

“No.”

Fang Qiu immediately shook his head.

As he spoke, he looked around and could not find any stone to throw out. Then, he could only take out a Spiritual Herb from his backpack and threw it forward.

As a result…

The Spiritual Herb which he flung forward rose above his head, which was about two meters away from the ground. Similar to what happened to the previous stone, it was abruptly blown to bits in midair with a loud bang like fireworks.

This scene greatly shocked the man who had given the proposal to jump over by stepping on the walls.

“The relic owner was not a fool.”

After a fleeting glance at the people behind him, Luoyun said, “The owner did not set up these traps simply for decorative purposes. Don’t think about going through it with any form of trickery. We must transcend these barriers one by one.”

“That’s right.”

Fang Qiu nodded in agreement and said, “If we can get across easily, these traps would not have been necessary at all.”

“It looks difficult, but don’t forget I’m with you.”

As he spoke, Fang Qiu grinned and immediately turned his head. He then stepped toward the quicksand and said to everyone, “Follow me.”

After he spoke.

He went straight ahead and moved rapidly with the others, according to the records on the parchment in his head.

Each of his steps seemed to be at a dangerous spot. But when the sand nearly swallowed up his feet, he steadied himself as if he had landed on the solid floor. With this support, he managed to keep going.

Everyone was amazed.

It was a wonder that John Doe even had a way to pass through the shifting sand.

After they passed through the quicksand, everyone looked at Fang Qiu with increased respect.

Afterward…

As they continued forward, they came across all sorts of traps.

To their great surprise, Fang Qiu seemed to be thoroughly familiar with all the mechanisms in the maze. He knew very well where these traps were, what they were, how to avoid triggering them, and so on. With his guidance, the entire group moved forward smoothly and managed to bypass all the traps.

Along the way…

Each of his acts would send a thrill through the others.

They couldn’t have gotten out of this maze if it hadn’t been for John Doe. Even if they had succeeded, some members would have died.

With Fang Qiu’s help, they passed through the maze unscathed. It was unbelievable.

Unexpectedly…

As they walked, they found they had returned to the entrance of the maze when they saw the pictograph tablet, the passage filled with drifting sand, the area with poisoned arrows… It seemed that they had made a circuit of this place again.

At first…

Everyone was confused but didn’t ask about it. Just when they thought they were going forward on their journey, they came back again.

They repeated the whole process for a third and fourth time.

Everyone was getting increasingly confused, but Fang Qiu kept walking forward.

Finally, after they passed the same terrain and the same traps for the fifth time, everyone led by Fang Qiu saw the exit of the maze.

It was a very wide gate.

“Whew…”

Everyone’s nerves had been constantly on edge. Once they saw the way out, they suddenly relaxed and couldn’t help letting out sighs of relief!

“Brother John Doe, how did you do it?”

Luoyun looked at Fang Qiu and asked the question that everyone was dying to ask.

When he heard this question…

Fang Qiu smiled but made no reply.

He knew things might be different if he disclosed this secret.

These people wouldn’t do anything to him, but once they knew he had the parchment, this news might be leaked if they met any accident. Meanwhile, the connection between the primitive tribe outside and the Pharaoh ruin would also be exposed to the public.

In this way, Fang Qiu and the people of the primitive tribe would be implicated.

Therefore…

Fang Qiu did not answer.

“Hmm?”

“What exactly happened?”

“Yes, tell us, how did you do it?”

They asked, one after another.

At this time…

When he saw Fang Qiu’s face, Luoyun nodded knowingly and said to everyone, “Don’t ask anymore. Sometimes, it’s better not to know!”

Everyone heard what he said.

Even though they were still curious about the answer, they all nodded and stopped pursuing the matter.

Outside…

With their people, the gurus of the four great countries walked around the pyramid twice before they finally located the entrance.

They pulled out the huge boulder…

The gurus and their team members poured into the pyramid.

At this time…

Francis and Mousolini, who had circled twice around the pyramid, happened to come over with their people. When they saw the boulder that had been dragged aside, they immediately rushed in.

The two parties…

They met head-on.

Even though each side felt great enmity toward the other, they didn’t launch any attacks but stared vigilantly at each other instead.

After all, they had just entered the pyramid and hadn’t yet seen any treasures.

In particular…

Before them, two groups of people had already entered. It would be a complete waste of time if they started a fight now. After their battle, all the treasures might be taken by the two groups ahead of them.

After they considered this, the gurus of the four great countries walked in rapidly with their men, while keeping a sharp lookout for Francis and Mousolini.

After them…

After leading their men in, Francis and Mousolini could only exert their strength to block the gate with the boulder to prevent sandstorms from blowing into the pyramid.

Soon…

The two sides reunited at the end of the passage.

As they stayed vigilant against each other, one person from the four great countries tried to fly over the maze. He shot up to the sky, and there was a loud bang the next moment.

The man, who had just flown out about two or three meters, was directly pushed back by a tremendous force that came from nowhere and fell heavily to the ground. He spat out a large mouthful of blood.

This frightful situation…

Everyone was shocked by it.

The people of the four major countries looked gloomy.

It was not because one of their men was injured but because they unintentionally rushed to the fore and eliminated the hidden danger for Francis and Mousolini.

“You go first!”

The gurus of the four great countries looked at each other and said to Francis and Mousolini.

“Humph.”

Francis and Mousolini grunted coldly. Immediately, they jumped down with their people and quickly got into the maze.

The people from the four great countries followed closely at their heels.

But…

The maze was too expansive.

Their original intention was to let Francis and Mousolini take the lead to explore the danger ahead. However, shortly after they entered the maze, they vanished. No one knew which direction and which track they had gone to.

With no other option…

The gurus of the four great countries could only grope their way and advance with their team members.

After coming to several dead ends, they eventually arrived at the passageway with the pictograph tablet.

With the appearance of this mechanism…

To crack this mechanism, the four gurus of the four great countries hurriedly sent people to check it out and asked others to search for information related to the pictographic characters.

But they could not find any information.

One after another, they had no choice but to try to crack it in person.

The first one took two steps, and nothing unusual happened. But when he took the third one…

His feet landed on the ground.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, the entire passage suddenly began to shake violently. At the same time, the pictograph tablet, which had been stepped on, bounced back fiercely like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme. It vehemently shot the person into the layer of transparent energy in midair. In an instant, the man was pushed straight down to the ground by a tremendous counterforce.

On one side…

Francis and Mousolini had also encountered the same trap. They had no choice but to keep trying.

At last…

By the time they passed through the first mechanism, 80 percent of the members of the two groups were wounded.

Fortunately…

These mechanisms were not deadly.

They pushed on.

The people of the four great countries repeatedly went back and forth and tried many times, but they failed to find the right path. Just as everyone gathered at one fork, hesitating over which way to take…

Abruptly…

“Crack…”

The surface of the wall on one side suddenly peeled off, dropped from above, and fell to the ground.

That came as a total surprise.

The gurus of the four great countries froze.

The sudden peeling of the wall surface seemed to be some sort of guide.

An impulse seized the gurus.

“Go that way.”

The gurus of the four major countries all chose another way and led the others in.

But after a few steps, they found it was also a dead end.

Helplessly, the gurus of the four great countries could only take their men back and walk into the passage where the wall had crumbled.
