Chapter 42 Labyrinth
——The cold labyrinth?
"One of the four major mazes in the land, the cold maze, it is said that no one has ever been able to get out of here alive."

Land Boundary is one of the boundaries of the Great Thousand World. There are five continents in total, namely Dongzhou, Xizhou, Nanzhou, Beizhou, and Zhongzhou where An Qingyu is located.

Mu Zixiao did not expect that the legendary Nether Cold Labyrinth was actually located on the Zhongzhou Continent.

He even didn't expect that Wu Shengqiang actually built the cell here...

"Since no one has ever been able to get out alive, how did Wu Shengqiang bring us in?" An Qingyu asked immediately.

An Qingyu didn't believe that she would be trapped.

Since it is a maze, there must be an exit, as long as there is an exit, it is impossible not to get out.

Mu Zixiao looked at the thirteen exits in front of him, and only one of them led to the outside.Once you make a wrong choice, it is absolutely impossible to turn back.

Because, this is the cold labyrinth... This is the only one among the four major labyrinths, a labyrinth that no living person has ever come out of...

"I think Wu Shengqiang should be a genius for refining talismans. He didn't build the cage in the maze, but he used the talisman array to connect the exit of the cage with the entrance of the maze..."

"Is that the gap just now?!" An Qingyu suddenly turned her head and looked back, as expected, the gap they came out just now was gone!

"Either stay in the cage and be sucked dry, or escape, but have to enter the maze to die, Wu Shengqiang is really a good trick..." Mu Zixiao's eyes flashed a sternness, and he wished to smash Wu Shengqiang's body into thousands of pieces!
"My lord, do you have a lucky number?" An Qingyu asked looking at the fork in front of him.

"Lucky number?"

"...Forget it, when is your birthday?"

Mu Zixiao looked at An Qingyu strangely, "You want to match my horoscope so soon?"

An Qingyu closed her eyes, "I just want to choose a path that I can get along with, my lord..."

Mu Zixiao smiled indifferently, and walked into the first intersection with An Qingyu in his arms.

The ice crystals in all directions exude a blue-white light—the light here is bright, the roads are flat, and there are no decorative patterns on the stone pillars, but the condensed ice forms an endless variety of beautiful shapes around it, and an underground palace is naturally carved.

A trace of cool air surrounded the surroundings, An Qingyu felt a little cold, and couldn't help but curled up a tail to wrap around her body.

An Qingyu nestled in Mu Zixiao's arms, and could feel that Mu Zixiao's body temperature was gradually losing just like hers. The two tails behind her came up and gently wrapped around Mu Zixiao's shoulders.

This cold labyrinth is really extraordinary. It is cold, but it is not extremely cold, but it is this kind of cold that is slowly taking away the warmth in their bodies.

Mu Zixiao stopped in his footsteps, and An Qingyu saw a dead body lying at his feet.

In fact, at first glance, one would think that this is a sleeping person, but in fact, it has already been completely dead, but the body is frozen hard, no different from ice, and naturally it will not rot.

"Looking at his clothes, he should be a disciple of a cultivator." Mu Zixiao said.

"Then he should be able to resist the cold with the spiritual power in his body, oh...he should die when his spiritual power is exhausted..." An Qingyu thought for a while, then said, "Put me down."

"Is your leg okay?" Mu Zixiao asked while putting her down.

"The bleeding has already stopped. Of course the pain is still painful, but it's okay for me to walk slowly."

An Qingyu jumped to the side of the dead body on tiptoe, and stretched out her hand to pull the saber on the body's waist.

Seeing her intention, Mu Zixiao frowned deeply. He waited on the spot for a while, and seeing that An Qingyu hadn't been able to pull out the sword for a long time, he finally couldn't help but said: "The material of this sword is average, let alone the sword. The scabbard and the sword body have been completely frozen together, you might as well dig out that piece of Xue Ningyu, that thing is still a rare item."

An Qingyu's hand touched the white jade inlaid on the hilt of the sword, and looked up at Mu Zixiao with a small face full of surprise, "Xue Ningyu? What's the use?"

"...It is said that the sword intent can communicate with one's own soul, so that the sword moves can exert stronger power."

"My lord knows a lot." An Qingyu smiled flatteringly, stretched out her nails and began to pick at the beautiful piece of white jade.

The corners of Mu Zixiao's eyes twitched, and his voice was low: "Maybe we'll die here, what are we going to do with all this effort?"

An Qingyu raised her head and smiled indifferently, "Even if you die, you will be buried with him anyway."

"Aren't you a cultivator? You still pay attention to these things? Only people who are greedy for life and afraid of death are afraid of suffering and suffering after death, so they will prepare funeral objects before their death."

"Of course I am greedy for life and afraid of death. Cultivators are the most greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, why would they cultivate? Isn't it just to live the same life as the world." Ningyu lifted it up and put it in front of her eyes, "But I don't have a few years to live, it's a pity for you, my lord, you died young, and you don't even have a decent mausoleum..."

Mu Zixiao suddenly snatched Xue Ningyu from An Qingyu's hand!An Qingyu froze for a moment, then looked at him puzzled——

"You don't need a sword, so it's useless to keep it. Let it be buried with me!"

"My lord, I can give it to my friend Hua Sanduo, she just happens to be practicing swords!"

"You think long-term, but I'm afraid you want to send it away but die!"

"At least I'm still alive." An Qingyu ignored Mu Zixiao's ridicule, and calmly stretched out a hand towards him, spreading it out.

Mu Zixiao put Xue Ningyu back into An Qingyu's hand, and the moment his fingertips touched her palm, he gently scratched her palm, and said kindly: "I saved you anyway, why don't you give me a gift? I?"

An Qingyu squatted on the ground to search, and let out a cheer of joy. When she faced Mu Zixiao again, she had a small smile on her face.

An Qingyu handed Mu Zixiao a money bag full of frozen slag, "For you."

"What's in there?"

"A bag of gold leaves." An Qingyu shook the money bag in her hand, and icy shards fell all over the place, "But the prince probably doesn't think much of this little money, I'd better keep it for myself."

Just as An Qingyu was about to put the money bag into her arms, Mu Zixiao quickly reached out to snatch the money bag away.

"Courtesy is light and affection is heavy, how could I despise it?"

The purse was taken away by Mu Zixiao, and An Qingyu rummaged around the dead body without giving up, and found a bottle of golden sore medicine, thinking it would be just for the wound on her leg, but when she pulled the cork off the bottle, she found the ointment inside. It was frozen into an ice cube and was useless at all, so I couldn't help being a little discouraged.

"Let's go, continue to find the exit." Mu Zixiao approached An Qingyu and picked her up again.

"Do you know where to go?"

"It shouldn't be wrong to walk in a warm direction."

An Qingyu was silent for a while, then said in confusion: "...I feel cold in every direction..."

"You put the tail down and you can feel a slight difference."

An Qingyu put down her tail as she said, and immediately shuddered, it was so cold!
When the skin is exposed to the air, the cold immediately penetrates into the body through countless pores!
An Qingyu felt the temperature in her body pass away quickly, she quickly wrapped her tail around herself again, and looked up at Mu Zixiao at the same time.

Mu Zixiao's complexion was slightly pale, he kept moving through the maze at a very fast speed, and he almost didn't hesitate to choose every intersection.

An Qingyu was a little worried, maybe this guy would freeze to death before he found the exit...

An Qingyu nestled in Mu Zixiao's arms, so she knew very well that the temperature on Mu Zixiao's body was gradually passing away.

"...How about we take a break..."

Mu Zixiao pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes kept staring at the road ahead.

An Qingyu felt that his pace was getting faster and faster, and suddenly turned a corner! ——

Dead end? !
There is a wall of ice in front of me...

Is it the wrong way?An Qingyu carefully looked at Mu Zixiao's icy face, not daring to say anything.

Mu Zixiao turned into another road, but it was the same as before, whenever he felt that he was about to find the exit, there would be an ice wall in front of him!
How is this going……

After going back and forth like this, the two walked around the maze for four or five hours, and An Qingyu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Stop and take a rest! Your body is about to freeze!"

Mu Zixiao's footsteps faltered suddenly, he looked at An Qingyu in his arms, and said in a low voice, "I think I know why no one has ever been able to get out of here."

An Qingyu wrapped her tail around Mu Zixiao's shoulders, waist and legs, allowing the heat in her body to transfer slowly.

If Mu Zixiao died here, with his own injured leg, he might not be able to get out of this maze.

Although she never had a good impression of the man in front of her, and even hated him a little, An Qingyu didn't want him to die.

Mu Zixiao let An Qingyu keep warm for him silently, and continued in a calm tone: "I think it's because of some accident in this maze, so the exits are all frozen by the ice, and it can't be called a maze without an exit. The Nether Cold Labyrinth is no longer a labyrinth...it should be a prison, a real cage..."

"Since it's a prison, there should be prisoners..." An Qingyu frowned, "But we've been walking for so long, and we haven't found any living things..."

Mu Zixiao suddenly started to walk again.

An Qingyu asked in astonishment: "Where are you going again? Didn't you say that the exits are blocked by ice?"

"Since the warm direction doesn't work, why not try the colder direction."

An Qingyu stared at Mu Zixiao with wide eyes, "You don't want to die?! If you go any further, you will turn into ice cubes!"

Mu Zixiao didn't even look at her, and replied, "If you turn into ice, you will also be buried with me."

"No!" An Qingyu said firmly, "I already have someone in mind!"

Mu Zixiao showed a weird smile, he looked at An Qingyu as he walked, and said slowly: "...Your people are in my arms, but you tell me that you have someone you like, it's too sloppy, right?... ...Oh, I almost forgot, you were originally a skittish vixen..."

An Qingyu turned her head away from him angrily, and replied, "You don't have to bend the corner and scold me, save your strength and find the way out!"

"Angry?"

An Qingyu closed her eyes, and didn't bother to talk to Mu Zixiao anymore, anyway, she couldn't listen to a single word that came out of his mouth.

"Hey, look over there."

An Qingyu opened her eyes in displeasure, and said to Mu Zixiao, "It's too childish! Changing the subject like this?!"

Mu Zixiao's eyes drifted ahead, flashed, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, "I'm not lying to you, look over there, there are a few more dead bodies, do you want to search for them?"

"Search! Of course we must!"
