Chapter 878: Chapter 883: The Fifth Trial 26
The Maze had an auto-repair function, and as it repaired itself, the routes within the Maze would also change.
Having a map in hand, nobody felt the desire to explore.
The next two days passed.
During the day, they rested outside the safety shelter, but at night, Su Tang went into the safety shelter, and Gaiyin and Xi Ye tangled with Godzilla outside.
They tried to delay until dawn as much as possible, and 15 minutes before daybreak, Godzilla would leave on its own accord.
After two nights of desperate struggle, they finally managed to hold out until morning on the third night.
As they watched Godzilla leave, Gaiyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xi Ye, exhausted, gazed at the faint light of dawn in the distance and spoke, "Shall we travel today? We’re not in good shape; maybe wait till tomorrow?"
"Alright," Gaiyin nodded, his eyes and brows revealing weariness.
After another day and night of adjustment.
On the eighteenth day, the three of them set off again.
At this point, the distribution of the Satiety Pills they had left was as follows: Gaiyin had eight, Xi Ye had eight, and Su Tang had three.
This meant that they needed to reach the exit of the Maze within three days, or else they might starve to death inside the Maze.
Under this pressure, Gaiyin and Xi Ye became particularly serious, and the speed of their run noticeably increased.
Aside from stopping for water at noon, they spent the rest of the time on the move.
In this way, from six o’clock in the morning to seven o’clock in the evening, after a full 13 hours, they finally discovered the new safety shelter at the moment it activated.
Without time to say much, Su Tang handed her protective shield over to Gaiyin.
"Don’t try to resist if you encounter danger; the protective shield can be activated by touching a petal. I’ll wait for you to come back!"
Godzilla’s roar was already nearing from not far away, and Su Tang didn’t want to distract them, so she quickly turned and entered the safety shelter.
Gaiyin, with a grave expression, stuffed the protective shield into his chest and turned to Xi Ye, telling him, "If you can’t hold on, run back to the safety shelter; don’t try to resist."
"Okay."
In the time it took to exchange a few words, Godzilla’s roars had drawn much closer.
Taking a deep breath and swallowing a Satiety Pill, they once again activated the Maze escape mode.
After a few nights of research, Gaiyin found that when Godzilla couldn’t see them, it located and tracked them by scent.
Therefore, Gaiyin discussed with Xi Ye a plan to run in a large circle around the safety shelter, expanding outward from its center.
Every place they ran past would leave some scent behind, which would later help them delay Godzilla’s pursuit.
Indeed, by using this method, they narrowly but safely got through the night.
As time was running out, they dared not rest.
15 minutes before dawn, after Godzilla left, the two quickly took Satiety Pills and began meditating to recover their stamina.
As soon as it was light, they immediately hit the road.
The nineteenth day.
The sky was completely dark, yet they still had not found the safety shelter.
Gaiyin’s face turned very ugly.
Fearing the worst, he handed the protective shield back to Su Tang and hid her under a pile of vines at the corner of a stone wall.
"Turn on the protective shield, and no matter what happens, don’t come out; wait for me to come back for you!"
With a pale face, Su Tang nodded, and with a thousand words choking her throat, only one sentence emerged, "I’ll wait for you."
Gaiyin couldn’t afford to say more and directed Xi Ye to circle around from the other side. They tried their best to lead Godzilla as far away from there as possible.
"Roar!!"
In the protective shield, Su Tang trembled with fear.
