Chapter 119.2

It was an old brass key.

Everyone fell into a long silence. After a while, Yu Fuling bent down and picked up the Book of Prophecy that had become an ordinary book, and slowly said, “…This should be the key to the entrance to the labyrinth, let’s go in.”

No one spoke, Sai Lulu’s death was too sudden and too peaceful.

They could only offer silence and intensified the killing of monsters as their condolences and tribute to Sai Lulu.

In this way, everyone in the Reincarnation Team stepped on the corpses of the monster and rushed towards the Tongtian Pagoda in silence.

This time they successfully broke into the Tongtian Pagoda. The moment they approached the Pagoda, a door suddenly appeared on the metal wall with a pitch blackness behind it.

Although no one knew what was in the darkness, everyone rushed into it without hesitation.

Xiao Tangqiu stepped into the darkness and ran for a long time with gritted teeth, but the surroundings remained dark. The metal pillar he saw from the outside was absolutely not this wide, but he also knew that this kind of supernaturally made space could not be explained by logic.

“This is… the Light God’s Labyrinth?” They didn’t know how long they walked in the dark, Tang Mianmian finally couldn’t help but ask, “Where is the labyrinth? Is this not the labyrinth yet?”

Xiao Tangqiu pondered, “Maybe this labyrinth is not the same concept of a labyrinth we usually think of.”

Tang Mianmian murmured, “Regardless… there must be an exit, right?”

Xiao Tangqiu paused, “Maybe we need do something to find the exit.”

As soon as Xiao Tangqiu’s voice fell, a long spiraling stone staircase suddenly appeared in front of them. The stone staircase spiraled straight up with no end in sight. No matter, he brightened up, “This is it!”

“Can we go up the stairs and find the labyrinth exit?” Tang Mianmian murmured.

Xiao Tangqiu, “I don’t know, but I have to give it a try.”

The Reincarnation Team members did not show much grief on the surface since Sai Lulu’s death, having long become “numb” to the death of their teammates. But Xiao Tangqiu could still keenly feel that everyone’s mood was a little low. Even he himself, despite not having spent much time with Sai Lulu, couldn’t help but mourn as a fox does for a rabbit’s death. In this world of life and death, death would fall on his companions, and sooner or later it would also fall on him. Maybe the next one to die would be oneself.

Everyone quickly and silently climbed up the spiraling stone staircase. The end of the spiraling stone staircase couldn’t be seen. It was so despairingly high that it seemed impossible to climb up, but no one said this.

Xiao Tangqiu’s physical fitness was much better than before, but after running for a few hours, he couldn’t help becoming out of breath. Especially when he looked up and saw that there were still unending stone steps in front of him, he felt even worse. His body was exhausted, but his heart was more exhausted.

“Stop and rest for a while.” At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly broke the silence. He glanced at Xiao Tangqiu and said lightly, “Everyone is tired. Rest for ten minutes before continuing to climb.”

Although it was better to climb all the way to the end in one go, anyone with eyes could see that they couldn’t climb to the end in one go. There was even doubt whether they could climb to the end at all. Everyone nodded and sat cross-legged on the floor.

Xiao Tangqiu sat on the edge of the spiraling stone staircase and looked down. They didn’t know how long they had climbed. Not only could they not see the end, but they could no longer see the beginning when they looked down. The lowest spiral staircase was completely immersed in the darkness, like a bottomless abyss.

Could they really reach the end? Although everyone thought of the same question, no one said it aloud.

After the ten-minute rest time, everyone continued to climb up silently. But at this moment, an abnormality suddenly emerged.

A monster suddenly leaped out from the darkness below and quickly jumped behind everyone, blocking their way of retreat.

Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes widened, “…Ouroboros!”

He never expected that the first to catch up to them was Ouroboros!

This giant black snake coiled around and hovered on the spiraling stone staircase. Its huge body filled the entire staircase and blocked all their escape routes. Even if they wanted to retreat, they couldn’t.

Those who came were not good, and those who were good would not come. It seemed that the giant black snake was the first wave of pursuing soldiers. Duan Hongzhen did not hesitate to call out, “You go first! I’ll stay behind!”

Xue Junli suddenly turned around, “I’ll stay with you!”

Duan Hongzhen scoffed, “I don’t need you! You go too!”

Xue Junli said coldly, “That’s not up to you.”

Yu Fuling yelled, “Duan Hongzhen! Xue Junli!”

Xue Junli decisively said, “The two of us will stay behind, you guys continue!”

Yu Fuling gritted her teeth and struggled with red eyes for a while, and then she strangely calmed down, “Captain, let’s go on!”

Shen Yuan took a deep look at both Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli, then turned his head and continued to climb up.

Su Manluo also followed in silence.

Xiao Tangqiu looked back at Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli for the last time before sighing and turning to catch up. Although Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli were very strong, even Shen Yuan couldn’t deal with Ouroboros. Everyone knew the fate of the two of them after staying behind.

The backs of Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli gradually disappeared from the view of the remaining five people, but the spiraling stone staircase in front of them was still long and endless.

Xiao Tangqiu got more and more tired. Eventually, he couldn’t hear other sounds anymore, only his own gasps, as if his soul was about to be torn out of his body.

At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xiao Tangqiu, “I’ll carry you on my back.”

Xiao Tangqiu gasped and said, “Don’t joke… I can still climb!”

Shen Yuan said lightly, “I’ll carry you on my back.”

Xiao Tangqiu glanced at Yu Fuling and Su Manluo, and insisted, “Neither of the two girls are tired, how can I be tired as a big man? Don’t kid! Keep climbing!”

Shen Yuan sighed, “Alright, keep climbing!”

There was still an endless spiraling stone staircase ahead. Xiao Tangqiu climbed completely relying on willpower. He almost climbed into confusion and trance, and just as he was about to faint—

The end of the spiral stone staircase finally appeared!

He couldn’t believe his eyes and even thought it was an illusion that appeared before he was about to die.

Tang Mianmian also murmured, “Is this an illusion before death? Or a mirage?”

Su Manluo was very excited, “It’s not an illusion! It’s not a mirage! We finally reached the end of the stone stairs! There must be the exit of the labyrinth!”

Xiao Tangqiu was a little bit incredulous, “Labyrinth exit?”

The exit of the labyrinth? Did they finally find the exit of the labyrinth?

He was in a daze, he didn’t know for a moment whether it was too easy for them to find the exit of the labyrinth.

Shen Yuan’s eyes darkened, “Let’s go up!”

Although they had seen the dawn of hope, everyone’s mood was not relaxed. Even Yu Fuling’s expression was a little dazed. They obviously didn’t dare to believe that after so many sacrifices, they could find the exit so simply.

Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, “Quick! Let’s go up! If we can find the Light God’s Sword, maybe there is still time to go back and save Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli!”

It had been several hours of climbing since Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli parted from the team. Comparing their strength to Ouroboros, it seemed impossible for them to have held it off for so long. But since Ouroboros had not caught up, they couldn’t be sure that Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli were really dead, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope to save them.

Yu Fuling suddenly cheered up, “Yes! We can go back to save Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli! Hurry up! Let’s find the Light God’s Sword!” The Light God’s Sword could easily defeat even Abyss Demon, let alone Ouroboros!

Everyone regained their spirits and ran towards the end of the staircase.

Xiao Tangqiu was already exhausted, but now he was full of strength and rushed up. Finally, they came to the end of the spiraling stone staircase.

A stone gate appeared at the end of the spiraling stone staircase, and behind the stone gate was a giant hall.

Everyone walked into the hall cautiously and no one dared to speak. The hall was empty except for an ancient stone throne in the center.

The stone throne had obviously experienced the scouring and weathering of thousands of years. When Xiao Tangqiu approached, an ancient aura that seemed to come from tens of thousands of years ago rushed over him. For a moment, he even felt as if he was transported to a time tens of thousands of years ago.

A sword was inserted in the center of the stone throne. This was a stone sword, an ancient stone sword that was old enough to be displayed in a museum. It was so old and worn away by time that not only did it have no killing power, it probably couldn’t even cut tofu.

Xiao Tangqiu was a little disappointed, “…This is the Light God’s Sword?”

He couldn’t accept that after they sacrificed so many teammates, the legendary sword that could subdue the Abyss Demon they found was a beyond-ordinary stone sword.

Not only was it not surrounded by dazzling light, but there was also no sharp blade that could cut iron like mud. Even the blade was too rusted to cut anything. Could such a shabby and unremarkable ancient stone sword really help them defeat the Abyss Demon?

The other’s expressions were also not very good, obviously thinking the same.

Tang Mianmian quickly comforted them and said, “Isn’t it always like this in movies? Most divine magic weapons all look very inconspicuous. What’s the term, reverting forms! Just wait for us to pull the sword out. After that, you will be able to start a massacre immediately! Come! Let’s pull out the Light God’s Sword and then go and beat the shit out of the Abyss Demon!”

Xiao Tangqiu regained his spirit, “Okay! Let’s go draw the sword!”

No matter what, try it first.

Tang Mianmian nodded, “Let’s go up and try one by one. Who will go first?”

Shen Yuan stared closely at the stone sword inserted in the stone throne, his eyes dark, “…I’ll go first.”

Shen Yuan walked towards the stone throne. Everyone was engrossed in watching his movements, but at this moment, Yu Fuling suddenly yelled, “Captain, be careful!”

She charged towards Shen Yuan and blocked behind him. At the same time, a sharp black thorn pierced through the air and into her body.
