Chapter 284: Escape From Death

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Could it be that this Secret Realm was just a cover?’

This thought appeared in many people’s minds.

However, who would waste such a powerful formation just to scare people?

“Continue walking for another 15 minutes. If this is still the case, then we’ll return the same way we came,” Gu Xi said in a deep voice. He also had some misgivings in his heart.

He did not want to lose his little life just for the sake of an unclear Secret Realm. He will take advantage of the opportunity to retreat now. Who knew if he would not even have the chance to escape later?

Moreover, he had already obtained the Lightning Spirit Pearl when he broke the formation earlier. It could be considered a big harvest for this trip.

Perhaps there would be more unexpected treasures later on, but he still had to be alive to take them.

Su Lian and Qing Xue looked at each other and did not raise any objections.

The group continued to go deeper. The path became narrower and narrower, but the others did not change much from when they first entered the Secret Realm.

Gu Xi was the first to stop, and he said, “The situation is not right, let’s go.”

As soon as he said this, the three Liuli Sect disciples did not think much of it. On the other hand, Su Lian and Qing Xue almost subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

Just as the two of them were about to ask questions, the entire Secret Realm suddenly began to shake violently.

For a moment, the rocks on both sides of the mountain walls began to roll. They even began to speed up and press towards the center, their speed getting faster and faster.

......

“What should we do? I don’t want to die yet!”

“Damn it, this place is a trap. What Bullshit Secret Realm!”

“F*ck! Who the f*ck designed such a f*cking place?!”

Sensing the changes on both sides of the mountain walls, the crowd could not help but curse.

For a moment, the crowd fell into a panic. After a brief moment of panic, many people began to rush toward the exit with all their might. There were even many people who fell to the ground due to the collision, some people even wet their pants on the spot.

“If this continues, I’m afraid we’ll all die here!”

At this moment, Su Lian’s pretty face was tense. Her gaze could not stop sizing up the surrounding mountain walls that were getting closer and closer, as if she was thinking of a way to escape.

“We can’t continue like this!”

A moment later, she spoke again. A large amount of spiritual power quickly condensed in her jade-like hands. She wanted to rely on brute force to break through the mountain walls on both sides.

Seeing this, Gu Xi grabbed her hands without saying anything and shouted, “Do you want us to die here together?!”

If they broke the mountain wall now, the entire mountain might collapse in an instant, not to mention whether they could move it or not!

Recalling the mountain peak that went straight into the clouds, Gu Xi could not help but feel a chill.

If this thing collapsed, everyone present would be buried in an instant, not to mention him who was in the Saint stage. No one would be able to leave this place alive.

“Then what do you think we should do? Should we just stay here and wait for death?!” Su Lian also spoke loudly.

Gu Xi did not pay attention to her words. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

‘No matter if it’s a formation or a trap, nothing in this world is perfect. There should be flaws in everything, and there must be flaws too!’

Gu Xi forced himself to remain calm, and a thought was transmitted to the System. ‘I need to crack the trap in front of me!’

[Ding! Detected that the Host is in danger!]

[Detecting the mechanism!]

[Due to the special terrain, no flaws were detected!]

The System’s simple sentence undoubtedly made Gu Xi’s heart drop.

No flaws?!

How the f*ck is that possible?!

[Detected the mechanism switch, located 10 kilometers ahead!]

The System’s voice sounded again.

Gu Xi’s eyes light up, and he was suddenly enlightened.

That’s right! If he could not run backward, he could run forward!

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Xi shouted in a deep voice, “Speed up, go forward!”

After saying that, he tapped the tip of his toes and rushed forward.

Now that the two sides of the mountain were less than a hundred feet apart, there was no more time for him to explain. Right now, it was more important for him to save his own life.

“Follow me!” Qing Xue was the first to react. She shouted at Su Lian and the others before she flew away.

Su Lian and the others followed closely behind her.

The sudden movement of the few of them naturally did not escape the eyes of the others. Other than the few people who ran towards the exit at the beginning, the rest of them also swiftly rushed towards the deeper parts of the Secret Realm.

Although they did not want to believe Gu Xi, they had no choice at this moment. If they did not take any action, they would only be squeezed into minced meat.

They could only take a gamble and bet that Gu Xi was right!

At this moment, thousands of flowing lights were rushing forward in the narrow corridor. Everyone maintained a high degree of nervousness.

“Look, there’s a light ahead!” someone shouted and everyone subconsciously looked up.

Not far away, there was indeed a faintly discernible light!

It was the exit! Everyone could not help but be overjoyed!

Gu Xi and the others at the front had also discovered the existence of the exit. They rushed over with all their strength and did not dare to hold back the spiritual power in their bodies.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides of the mountain walls was only about five meters apart.

Gradually, Gu Xi sensed that something was wrong.

No matter how hard he tried to advance with all his strength, the ray of light in front of him did not come close at all. Instead, it was sometimes big and sometimes small, flickering and flickering.

“Something’s wrong!”

Qing Xue frowned, also sensing that something was wrong.

“Could it be an illusion?”

Gu Xi muttered as he subconsciously reached out to touch the mountain walls on both sides. However, he could touch them. This was not an illusion!

There was only one possibility now — the light in front of them was bait!

Regardless of whether it was forward or backward, it was a dead end!

Perhaps it was just as the System said, the switch of the mechanism was indeed in front of them. However, they did not have enough time to find the mechanism and turn it off.

“Damn it! There’s no way out from here, where else can we go!” Su Lian and the others gradually slowed down, their voices full of despair.

Even Su Lian, who was usually terrifying, was powerless at this moment.

However, her short sentence reminded Gu Xi, “There’s no way to escape down here.”

Gu Xi’s advancing figure came to an abrupt halt, and he stepped hard on the ground.

Down here? What about the top?

He suddenly raised his head to look, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He saw that there were no longer any lumps of dirt on the mountain wall above them. Instead, it had turned into endless darkness, as if it was some sort of spatial entrance.
