The silly junior sister is prone to erratic behavior, offering an unconventional way to revitalize t

……

The maze is like two extremes: some people are lucky enough to find the treasure cave, while others bump their heads and go around in circles, getting stuck in a vicious cycle.

This was the twenty-sixth time he had walked this road. When he came across the wall with the hole, Qi Jue couldn't help but go over and pat it, saying with emotion, "Brother, we meet again."

Su Yuanshuang: "..."

However, it must be said that their twenty-six times were not just going around in circles, but rather they circled around this wall in twenty-six different ways.

Qi Jue exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Now I finally understand why this secret realm is called the River of No Return..."

It means exactly what it says.

I will not return, I will not return.

They were completely lost...

"..." Su Yuanshuang squatted in a dark corner and drew circles.

She wanted to clarify that, first of all, she is not directionally challenged.

Secondly,

Secondly...

Su Yuanshuang frowned in thought.

Qi Jue leaned closer to her and joined her as a mushroom: "Senior Sister, shall we continue?"

She shook her head.

Two mushrooms squatted in the corner, resting their chins on their hands, deep in thought.

Qi Jue was bored and drew circles on the ground with Du'e. Despite his own frustration, he still considerately encouraged the mushroom next to him.

"Senior Sister, don't worry about it."

He nudged Su Yuanshuang, his eyes crinkling with laughter: "Actually, we've been quite lucky. After traveling for so many days, we only encountered one centipede at the beginning, and haven't encountered any more monsters since."

Because of his tendency to faint at the sight of blood, Qi Jue didn't really want to fight. Although he had been going around in circles these past few days, he had at least lived a peaceful life in the secret realm and hadn't even seen a single person. So he hadn't fallen into a state of fainting at the sight of blood, which made him quite happy.

"?"

"!!!"

Su Yuanshuang suddenly looked up, her small mushroom-like body transforming into a large mushroom, and stood up.

She seemed to have realized a fact.

This maze is just a joke on them.

Su Yuanshuang reached out and hooked her arm around Qi Jue's neck, lifting her junior brother up like a kitten.

Qi Jue: ? ? ?

She turned and left, placing Qi Jue intact in another corner to continue making him a mushroom. She then returned to his "good brother" with the hole in it, pulled out an enormous hammer from her bag, the hammerhead twice the size of Qi Jue's head.

Su Yuanshuang swung the sledgehammer and smashed it hard against the wall with a loud "bang".

Qi Jue: "???"

The boy hugged his knees in confusion, and with each crash, he began to think again.

"Or maybe you're the senior sister?"

That strength, that technique.

It's such a waste to do audio editing...

Perhaps it was the sight of the senior sister working hard alone that was so awe-inspiring.

After a moment's thought, Qi Jue chose to secretly take out the recording stone from his storage bag to record this unique moment, instead of going to help or running away as quickly as possible.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang~ Clang~"

I can't remember how many times I smashed it. Logically speaking, the wall of the labyrinth in the River of No Return should be impossible to destroy. If smashing the wall could help people get out of the labyrinth, probably many people would have done it.

The real wall is made of Xuanbing Stone, which is indestructible, but the wall in front of them is not real.

Qi Jue saw that the legendary "indestructible" Xuanbing Stone Wall seemed to be on fire, generating smoke from below that enveloped the two of them. The surrounding scenery was instantly shrouded in smoke, and the background turned into an illusory white.

Two extra legs appeared at the foot of the wall. Amidst the billowing smoke, it stood up and ran off gracefully right before their eyes.

It's gone, a wall has run away...

Qi Jue: "???"

Su Yuanshuang picked up a large sledgehammer and chased after him fiercely.

The boy was slow to react and hesitated for a moment. He realized that the Du'e in his hand was more reliable, so he flew up and took him with him to start the Wall-Chasing Crematorium.

"Eh?"

Even the most oblivious person can sense that something is wrong.

As Qi Jue was dragged along by Du'e, he seemed to regain his senses and, still somewhat dazed, came to the correct conclusion: "An illusion?"

Several more feet appeared on the wall.

Su Yuanshuang stood still and threw the sledgehammer directly at the spot, hitting it precisely.

The wall that had tormented them for half a month transformed into a giant centipede after a strange scream.

It was the very one they had first encountered.

Qi Jue instantly regained his senses, drew his sword, and struck Du'e on one of his feet.

"Was it all an illusion from that day on?" he muttered to himself, not forgetting to give Su Yuanshuang a starry-eyed look, and while fighting, he switched into praise mode: "Senior Sister, you're so amazing."

Su Yuanshuang pursed her lips, not feeling particularly happy.

A month, an illusion, tormented her for more than a month.

She was different from Qi Jue. Qi Jue was a sword cultivator and it was his first time entering a secret realm, so he didn't understand some of the intricacies. But she was a sound cultivator, and her usual studies included some courses about illusions.

How careless of her was she to fall so deeply into this predicament?

Su Yuanshuang felt very annoyed. She shouldn't have done it, she really shouldn't have.

"Senior Sister, look at the top of its head."

Su Yuanshuang looked up, her movements slightly stiff.

The sledgehammer just now hit the centipede's head by luck, revealing a deep blue, bell-like pattern inside.

The Bewitching Bell can disturb a person's mind; it is a high-quality illusionary artifact.

"No wonder we didn't feel anything."

Qi Jue immediately attributed the problem to the Bewitching Bell, completely disregarding whether he himself was at fault. He was not one to waste time internally, and he was happy to find the source of the problem. Raising an eyebrow, Du'e twirled his sword in his hand: "It seems that as long as we deal with this monster, we can get out of here."

……

On the other side, Yunxi spent more than a month carefully circling the seabed again.

With tons of water-repellent bubbles around her, she could move around on the seabed with incredible ease.

Water-repellent beads only repel water, not other substances. The bubbles are like a layer of clothing, clinging tightly to her body without affecting her work, making them convenient and practical.

The only thing affecting her work was a tortoise. In the sea, it transformed back into an adorable whale, shrinking to the size of a plush toy that she could hug. Faced with her favorite crunchy snacks, it couldn't resist pouncing on them and taking random bites.

Yunxi didn't want it to damage the spiritual plants, so she carried a snake blood vine behind her, waving it around in front of Tuntun like a cat's tail. This would attract its attention and also serve as a snack for the child. After taking a bite, it could be controlled to grow more, making it a renewable resource. It was practically the perfect fishing tool.

The original monsters in the sea were completely devoured by the tontons, but many spiritual plants remained. Although there were none of them valuable, they were easy to collect, and Yunxi reaped a rich harvest after her efforts.

She even felt it would be much better than going directly to the island. Everything on the island was something everyone was fighting over, but now, the seabed belonged to her alone, and she didn't have to wander around in the maze. It was incredibly comfortable.

"what?"

Wherever her gaze fell, she saw something glittering.

Yunxi cautiously moved closer.

Under layers upon layers of thick seaweed, she found a small, palm-sized golden box.

It is made of mystic ice stone, chilling to the bone, and has a lock on it.

Yunxi held it in her hand and shook it; it looked like there was a small bead inside.

I think I heard Night Ember mention in the token that there are three black bone eagles wearing keys in the middle of the maze.

She looked it over and put the box away first.

During the following period, Su Yuanshuang and Qi Jue were exploring the illusion, Ye Jin was venturing into the maze alone, and Yun hope was doing underwater cleaning work in the River of No Return.

After circling the sea once more, she stuffed the last of the spiritual plants into her mustard seed bag.

Yunxi checked the message on the token, thought for a moment, and before going ashore, used the snake blood vine to fish for the little whale and returned to the volcano.

She cleaned most of Yan Yu's house spotless, except for this place...

Yunxi stood at the crater, looking down at the scorching lava on both sides of the volcano. Among the lava, there were several high-quality Flame Spirit Flowers and Flame Spirit Mushrooms.

The Serpent Blood Vine was already somewhat impervious to water and fire, and it also gained some of the power of the Flame Dragon, adding a touch of fire attribute to its earth and wood spiritual roots.

I wonder if the vines, with their current strength, can make it into the lava valley beneath the volcano's crater.
