Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao hugged each other for a long time before slowly letting go.

Although their bodies were still shrouded in deep fatigue, this warm "hug" seemed to have magical power, injecting some strength into them and alleviating the fatigue that was almost crushing them.

"Qingze, there are statues everywhere now. If there are other triggering conditions... it's not safe to stay here for a long time. Let's find a relatively safe place and take a short rest, okay?"

Chu Lingxiao gently massaged his wrist while asking in a soliciting tone, the voice so gentle that it seemed to drip water.

Gu Qingze also turned his head to look at him and nodded gently: "Well, there is actually no big problem with my wrist. It's just that it's shaking a little now that I'm relaxed and not using any strength."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and held Chu Lingxiao's hand that was massaging him: "I don't have any big problems, but Lingxiao...are you sure you don't want to rest for a while longer?"

Chu Lingxiao held his hand back, his eyes firm and warm: "If Qingze is fine, then I am fine too."

Gu Qingze confirmed again with concern: "Is it really okay or not?"

Chu Lingxiao repeated his answer again and smiled helplessly: "No problem."

"Then let's keep moving forward!"

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao drank a few more bottles of recovery potion, and when they were sure they had recovered a little, they stood up, held each other's arms tightly, and supported each other as they continued to move forward.

They carefully walked around the statues that were as still as sculptures, alert to any danger that might appear around them.

The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and the light became dimmer, as if it was about to swallow them up in the endless darkness.

They could only rely on their weak perception, and even their spiritual power seemed to have lost its effect in this space. They could not detect anything more, and there was only endless darkness...

Gu Qingze walked in front and said in a very low voice, "Ling Xiao, remember to follow me closely."

Chu Lingxiao responded and followed closely.

As they walked, they found some flickering patterns began to appear on the wall. Those patterns were like mysterious stars, looming in the darkness, and seemed to be some ancient and mysterious spell.

"These spells look a bit weird." There was a hint of uneasiness in Chu Lingxiao's voice.

Gu Qingze stopped and stared at the talismans, observing them carefully: "Maybe it is related to the previous statue, or it may be some other new mechanism. In short, we should be careful."

At this moment, the talismans suddenly shone brightly, as dazzling as the burning sun.

A suffocating force surged out from the wall like a flood, instantly binding the two of them tightly.

"Not good!" Gu Qingze struggled hard, but still couldn't break free from the restraint of this force.

Chu Lingxiao tried to cast a spell to break it, but as soon as the spell was cast, it was bounced back by this powerful force.

"What should we do? Qingze." There was a hint of anxiety in Chu Lingxiao's voice.

Gu Qingze endured the severe pain and said in a soothing way: "Don't panic, let's think of a solution together."

Just as they were thinking about countermeasures, the force suddenly became even stronger, as if it was going to crush their bodies into powder.

"This won't work. Since it's a spell, there must be a way to break it."

Chu Lingxiao nodded, and the two of them endured the severe pain that almost made them faint, and tried hard to observe the situation around them.

Suddenly, Gu Qingze discovered a tiny gap in the corner of the wall, and the power seemed to be flowing out from there.

"Ling Xiao, look there!" Gu Qingze shouted, motioning him to look over there.

Chu Lingxiao followed his gaze and instantly understood what he meant.

"I will attract this force, and you take the opportunity to destroy the gap!" Chu Lingxiao said without hesitation.

Gu Qingze was a little worried: "No, it's too dangerous, let me do it."

"There is no time to hesitate, Qingze!" Chu Lingxiao said, releasing his spiritual power with all his strength, shining with light, and started to fight against that force.

Seeing this, Gu Qingze no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the gap.

When he approached the gap, a strong resistance came towards him like a gust of wind, but he gritted his teeth, used all his strength, and stabbed the gap with his sword.

With a loud bang, the gap was filled with light, like fireworks, and the force that bound them disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Having lost that strength, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao fell to the ground before they could even stand firm.

"Finally got rid of it." Gu Qingze slumped on the ground.

Chu Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there was no danger."

They rested for a while, adjusted their disordered breathing, and continued to move forward.

I don’t know how long I walked before a bright light appeared ahead.

"Could it be the exit?" Gu Qingze had a guess in his mind, but he quickly denied it. "It's impossible. The whole Xuanyin area is dark and gloomy. There is not even a little light. If it is really an exit, it can't be so bright."

Although they knew they couldn't say it, they still quickened their pace and walked towards the light. When they slowly approached the light, the scene in front of them made them stunned for a moment...
