Journey to the Rose

The sky was gloomy, and night fell again.

All the people in the wilderness pricked up their ears, raised their vigilance, and quietly moved towards the entrance of the maze.Under the entire sky, there seemed to be no sound other than the sound of breathing and the rustling of grass blades underfoot.

Some people are bold, but naturally there are those who dare not move forward.

To reach today's city, most of the people who fled from the previous cities in the south have learned to be quiet, and no longer run for their lives screaming or running around, because there is only one consequence of that, and that is to be eliminated by disasters.

Ruan Xi knows that in this terrain, the attacker will always be more difficult than the defender, but their advantage lies in two words: more people.

But at the same time, this also means that the sacrifice will be greater.

He asked Wen Kai, can we send someone to negotiate?Gu Zirong, who went to the surrounding crowd to inquire about the news, said that someone was there, but he had already been killed.

"Ah, just kill it?" Li Shen was dumbfounded, the people here were a hundred times more ruthless than he imagined.

"There was a young alpha who asked to find the way on his own initiative. He negotiated with the others. If he survived for more than 10 minutes, he would turn on the flashlight and flash it. But half an hour has passed and there is still no movement..." Gu Zirong murmured road.

Ruan Xi made a visual inspection as he hurried forward...

They are only 20 meters away from the entrance of the maze.

One step forward, there is a risk of being shot, but fortunately, with the help of the sky, no one can see who is clear, and no one can take advantage of it.

The wind also stopped.

Now is a good time to be proactive.

Li Shen lowered his body, with his arms back, and took out a poisoned arrow from the arrow pouch at his waist, pinched it between his fingers, and slowly attached it to the huge long bow.

He narrowed his eyes, locked on a swaying figure in the bamboo forest at the entrance of the maze, and whispered: "Will the bamboo here not die?"

What is your brain circuit?Wen Kai rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to him.

Li Shen didn't understand his disgust, or maybe he wanted to be annoying on purpose, or he said: "I'm really curious."

"Yes." Wen Kai's pistol. Gun. Gun. Barrel is already hot, "When the layout of the maze is changed every year, they will redesign, replant... and then grow a new pattern."

"Why are they so obsessed with the maze?" Ruan Xi asked.

Wen Kai thought for a while, concentrated his attention, and replied while being vigilant: "Because they believe that the maze has magical powers that can make people invulnerable, and they will use a silver plate with a maze pattern on the bottom to fill water to make their alpha Drink it. Also, if you can go from the beginning to the end of the labyrinth, it will be a good year."

Ruan Xi said, "But they will kill strangers."

Wen Kai nodded: "Yes, this kind of blessing is only used to protect themselves."

The thought of using his brain made Li Shen almost bald.

Although he was frowning and bald, he still did not forget to lock on to the target, and his crosshairs moved slightly with the figure of the target. At this time, they were constantly advancing carefully, and there were only more than ten meters away from the entrance of the maze.

"Is there any trick to navigating the maze?" he asked.

As soon as the last word was pronounced, Li Shen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly caught the moving heat source.

He lowered his bushy eyebrows, the tail sound and the sharp arrow in his hand left the string together, and a frightened wind rose in the dark, the sharp arrow cut through the air and silence, and shot towards the target with a "swish--".

The sound of a body falling from a height to the ground sounded——

Immediately afterwards, whistles came one after another in the city of Maze, harsh and hasty, as if sending some kind of signal.

Li Shen hit the target.

The battle ensued.

it has started.

Most people breathe faster, scrambling for air as they run.

Ruan Xi took a deep breath, feeling that the air was getting thinner, and she couldn't breathe.He nervously followed Lu Zhenghe, the entrance in his sight seemed to be far away and near.

"After entering, choose a path and start walking, don't hesitate, don't look back."

Ruan Xi turned her head and said to Li Shen, "If you choose a dead end and return directly, it's best to make a mark."

"Ruan Xi is right. The maze in Maze City is composed of many single mazes. It is different from the single maze in that it has many ways to move," Wen Kai emphasized, "but, We must not go the same way over and over again, or we will really be trapped in it."

Ruan Xi understood.

Wen Kai is right. The tricky thing about the maze is not that you have to go to a dead end. What is scary is that after walking for a long time, you find that you have been walking the same path back and forth.

"I would like to add one more thing," Wen Kai said, "If there is a fork in the road, you have to recall whether you have traveled this road. If you have passed it, immediately return to the original road and take the road you have not traveled."

"it is good!"

"Everyone, pay attention to safety. Go together, don't be alone."

"understand!"

After the instructions were finished, they had already arrived at the entrance of the maze, only one step away from entering.There were no lights around, and it was as dark as a deep, sunless canyon.

It stands to reason that the maze cannot be walked at night.

Walking during the day is confusing, and walking at night is naturally twice as difficult.But time is running out, and there is no time to think about other things, so life and death are just like this.

Wen Kai took Song Shumian and Gu Zirong, a team of three, turned in from the left of the maze entrance, leaving Ruan Xi and Lu Zhenghe behind.

The two shot and stabbed each other, back to back, and followed the crowd into a new environment.

Holding a crossbow and arrow, Li Shen guarded behind Lu Zhenghe and Ruan Xi in a broken-back manner, walking backwards step by step, until he was completely in the maze, he turned around neatly, and trotted to keep up with the team.

·

When I first entered the maze, I didn't hear much noise.

In addition to being secluded, it is still secluded.

Ruan Xi was very surprised that there was no large-scale hacking and killing that started as soon as he came in.

"Aren't you scared seeing how many of us there are?" Li Shen held a bow and crossbow, and moved a little slower, following with a bit of difficulty.

"Impossible." Lu Zhenghe shook his head.

Because of his injuries, he has now dropped from the first to the third in terms of strength, and he is the one with the weakest combat effectiveness.

The deadly weapon in his hand is not particularly effective now.Because the carbine has a shorter range and stronger recoil than a rifle. If the strength of the shoulder, neck and hand is not enough, it will not be so flexible to use.

In order to take care of Lu Zhenghe, Ruan Xi went to the front, Li Shen went to the last, and Lu Zhenghe was in the middle, responsible for observing the surrounding situation.

Ruan Xi didn't dare to look back at him, nor did she dare to relax her vigilance.

There are not only bamboos here, but also cypresses and bushes.Touching the emerald green with her fingers, Ruan Xi followed the general maze cracking method, walking against the "wall".

They first walked into a straight road, which was deep and long, with no end in sight.

When it was time to choose to turn left or right, Ruan Xi thought about it and chose the way to turn left.

Because according to the previous map given by Wen Kai, the end point will be in the northeast direction of the starting point, and it should not be possible to go to the right very smoothly from the beginning.

The road to the left seems to be a little narrower than before.

Naturally, there were also people walking in the right turn, but there were about ten other people who turned into the left turn with them, and only four of them were women, and one of them was an omega.

Lu Zhenghe sniffed out the unusual smell in the air, and said hello to Li Shen, Li Shen understood, and stood a little closer to that omega.

Deliberately going around a little farther away from the crowd, Lu Zhenghe pulled Li Shen over, and said in a low voice: "You mainly look at Ruan Xi. He is in heat recently, and I don't know when he will feel uncomfortable."

Estrus?

Ancestors, we also need to see if we have the conditions to be in love now!

After a long silence, Li Shen came back to his senses and nodded: "Yes."

After thinking about it, he asked a little more: "Did he not bring inhibitors?"

"When I crossed the glacier before, there wasn't much. Once the glacier came over, everything was gone." Lu Zhenghe took a breath, and his voice was so low that he almost spoke in a breathy voice, "You know, I marked him in Holy City. After that, he went to buy some inhibitors himself, but it seemed that the amount was not enough. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.”

"So..." Li Shen clenched his fists and became more nervous, "Then this is the first time he's been in heat since he was marked?"

The implication of the deep words...

Then the intensity may be more violent than before.

"Well," Lu Zhenghe nodded, his eyes were sharp, and he glanced around, "In this situation, it is impossible to open a room."

"puff."

Li Shen was still not used to the straightforward word "open room" from his young master's mouth, and quickly wiped the sweat that was about to drip down his forehead, "I see, I will pay more attention to protecting him."

This road is very long, and the distance between the bamboos on both sides of the road seems to be getting narrower and narrower as they go forward, and they get closer to the middle, vaguely forming the shape of an arch.

Ruan Xi was walking forward, feeling that the two people behind her couldn't keep up with her footsteps, and was about to look back, but there was a shrill scream from the bamboo forest above her head, and a slight vibration from the ground——

Ruan Xi's hearing was sensitive enough to hear the screams coming from the road just to the right.

The marching team all stopped at once.

"Wen Kai and the others?" Li Shen looked forward in a panic.

"Yes," Ruan Xi didn't care about anything else, and chose a direction opposite to that of the team, grabbed Li Shen's collar and dragged him towards him, "Let's go and have a look."

Before he had time to rush on that road, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and several blood-stained short knives flew from not far away, as if controlled by a giant hand, and plunged into the ground with a sound of gasping.

The knife has landed.

But when Ruan Xi moved his nose, he could still smell the strange smell fermented in the evil.Those who came were people I had never met.

Ruan Xi raised his left arm to block Lu Zhenghe who was following him, took a quick step back, and took out the Xiaoyan Lingdao from the back of his waist, "I'll do it."

It was too late to say anything else, Lu Zhenghe understood that he would subconsciously choose to use the long knife held in close combat when he was in danger.

Lu Zhenghe had a gun in his hand, so he had to step back a little farther away from Ruan Xi, bend down slightly, put the gun on the bracket, and hold it firmly in his hand.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, he fired Young Master Lu's first shot very happily, directly hitting the thigh of the visitor.

The rest of the dozen or so people either raised their knives and went up, or had no combat power, and all hid behind Lu Zhenghe.

Lu Zhenghe's back hurts, his movements are not particularly flexible, and he struggles to move, all relying on Li Shen's cover.

Li Shen stood in front of him, bent his bow and set his arrows non-stop, two or three sharp arrows pierced straight into the waist of the comer.

Along the way, Ruan Xi has accumulated a lot of close combat experience in various fighting activities, and his physical strength has also recovered well. As long as he holds a weapon he is good at, he can overturn a person with a few knives.

Half of his camel cloak had slipped off due to too much movement, blood splashed onto his face, and a small lake dripped from his collarbone.He could no longer hear the painful groans beside his ears, and the sound of the blade cutting flesh.

Judging from the scale of the attack, there were more people in Maze City going to Wenkai's side.

Ruan Xi and the others came here with only seven or eight people, all dressed in black, and their movements were ruthless and powerful. One of them was holding a broad knife, the blade was about as wide as a palm, rushed out from the bamboo forest and slashed until Ruan Xi was about to slash. On the raised Xiaoyanling saber, it cut him directly to his knees.

My knee hurts.

With the help of Li Shen's extended hand, Ruan Xi held him and tried her best to stand up.

"There's someone next to you!" Li Shen shouted loudly.

Ruan Xi clenched her back molars sharply, held the handle of the knife with both hands, drew an arc sideways, raised the long knife high, and wanted to slash it down.

The moment he swung the knife, the man also raised the sharp weapon, and the sharp blade pointed directly at Ruan Xi's head.

"boom!"

In an instant, a gunshot exploded in front of him.

Ruan Xi subconsciously shrank her shoulders and turned her head to avoid it. The man turned his head before dying, and the blood from his forehead sprayed all over Li Shen's face.

It has to be said that a gun is a gun. Lu Zhenghe stood in the dark and shot the gun intently. The bullets pierced through the gaps in the bones, and several people could be knocked down in a row.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, the blood was soaring.

All the people from Maze City who came to sneak attack fell, and more than half of the "invasion" team was killed or injured.

Panting for breath, Ruan Xi squatted down on the spot, taking advantage of the faint moonlight at night to look at the figure of the man who was about to cut himself just now, he was indeed strong.If it weren't for Lu Zhenghe's decisive shot, he would have been cut to pieces by the knives used by these people.

There was no way out of such a fuss, so Li Shen had no choice but to take the remaining five or six people to hide in the bamboo forest beside the road.

But they can't hide indiscriminately, otherwise they will have to walk through the maze repeatedly, and they will only be trapped here, and they will be cut down all the time...

Ruan Xi didn't care about anything else, and while carefully backing away, asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay? Did your wound burst open?"

Lu Zhenghe endured it, and lowered his voice, "...it's okay."

"You know it's okay..."

Ruan Xi moved closer, her warm breath stayed on the side of Lu Zhenghe's neck, and a trace of alcohol floated in the air, which made Lu Zhenghe's heart feel more stable in an instant.

Thinking that other alphas might also smell this smell, Lu Zhenghe was a little dissatisfied.He frowned, but still said: "If you do this, you will also attract the alpha of Maze City."

"There are a lot of omegas entering the maze," Ruan Xi said, "They can't figure it out."

He took a little of the smell, subconsciously wiped his face, it was warm to the touch.Putting her finger close to the tip of her nose, when Ruan Xi smelled her hand, the smell of blood almost broke through the sky.

Food churned in my stomach.

He suppressed the desire to vomit, squeezed Li Shen's hand that was still on the bow and crossbow, "Wen Kai and the others all right?"

Hearing this, Li Shen made a "c" letter with his hands, put his index finger and thumb into his mouth together, and blew a whistle that was different from that of the people in Maze City——

After two seconds of panic, the same whistle sounded from the road on the right.

"Not dead yet."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Shen patted his chest, "Their three lives are so hard, they can't die."

Maze·67 is finished, off the chain.
