Chapter 859: Chapter 864: The Fifth Trial 7
Yadang stared at Xi’en for a while, then silently stepped aside to let him in.
"Roar—"
A roar came from the front, causing everyone’s expression to change.
Su Tang motioned frantically, "Hurry up and come in!"
Yadang remained motionless.
It wasn’t just him; Gaiyin and Xi Ye looked toward the direction of the roar, a glint of eagerness shining in their eyes.
Seeing them like this, Su Tang suddenly had an epiphany, and her heart sank to the bottom.
"You never had any intentions of coming in here from the start, did you?"
Gaiyin looked at Su Tang without directly answering her question, "We’re going to scout ahead; we’ll be back soon. Just wait here obediently for me."
A surge of annoyance shot up to the sky, her brain swirling with dizziness, and her heart felt as if it was pumped full of air, ready to burst at any moment.
Su Tang slowly closed her eyes, forcing herself to take deep breaths continuously. After calming her emotions slightly, she raised her eyes to Gaiyin, trying to muster a faint smile.
"Okay, I’ll wait here for you. Come back soon and be safe."
Gaiyin barely perceptibly let out a sigh of relief, quickly nodded in agreement, and then the three of them quickly disappeared around the corner of the stone wall.
Inside the safety cabin—
Su Tang’s face collapsed completely, sitting alone by the window, her arms wrapped around her knees, silent.
From the outside, the safety cabin only had a stone door and was hidden among the falling vines, but in fact, the space inside was quite large, a good ten square meters.
There wasn’t much in the way of furnishings in the cabin, but there was a huge "floor-to-ceiling window."
The Maze was truly a magical place; this "floor-to-ceiling window" was like a one-way mirror on Earth, where you could see the outside from within, but the inside couldn’t be seen from the outside.
If it were any other time, Su Tang would certainly be very curious and start studying the construction of this stone, but right now, she really didn’t have the mood for it.
Qiu Mo and Xi’en exchanged glances.
Both of their faces were filled with restraint and helplessness.
Then, the two of them cautiously moved next to Su Tang. Qiu Mo reached out and poked Su Tang’s arm, "Tangtang, are you okay?"
"····"
Qiu Mo looked at Xi’en somewhat pleadingly, her features twisted in consternation.
Xi’en gave Qiu Mo an emphatic nod, conveying a ’keep it up, you can do this!’ look of determination.
Qiu Mo cleared her throat, squatting beside Su Tang, "You don’t really need to worry too much. Gaiyin and the others are very strong. If they really encounter any danger, they can run if they can’t win the fight. And didn’t Gaiyin say when he left? They’ll be back soon."
"···Yeah··· I know."
Su Tang replied softly.
She knew everything.
Enraged as she was at Gaiyin, she was actually angrier at herself.
Given their capabilities, the distance covered this morning was nothing to them; they could have continued going forward.
But they chose to compromise and stay at the first safety cabin they found, all because they had to consider her physical strength, abilities, and safety.
It was only after ensuring her safety that they could go ahead without any worry.
Or to put it simply, she was like a burden to the entire team, with no use at all, constantly needing others’ protection.
This feeling... really sucked.
Su Tang took a deep breath, closing her eyes.
She must get stronger!
She must protect herself and also be able to protect others.
