Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 337 Entering the First Floor of the Maze

Xuanyuan Yi sighed: "Forget it, guessing is useless, first find the entrance!"

Feng Qi nodded, guessing about such things is useless, she can only be careful.

Finding Zitong who was thrown away by Feng Qi, this guy is still drooling from sleep.

"I expected you to help find the entrance, but you fell asleep!"

Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help laughing: "I didn't wake up after being so noisy, it's amazing!"

"Well, it's quite powerful, this guy only eats and sleeps!" Feng Qi had an idea, and took out a gold-finned fish and shook it at the tip of Zitong's nose.

Sure enough, Zitong's nose moved, and then she covered her nostrils with her paws.

"Yeah? Isn't it a cat? Why doesn't it like fish?" Feng Qi was stunned.

Xuanyuan Yi laughed: "Maybe it's because he doesn't like raw fish."

"Oh..." Feng Qi threw the raw fish back, and took out a deep-fried semi-finished product, which was prepared to be braised in soy sauce, and if you want to eat it after frying, you can just pour the sauce on it.

Sure enough, the smell of cooked fish caused Zi Tong to open his eyes, but he had a constipated expression on his face.

"Hahaha... It's full, it can't eat, but it's still greedy!" Feng Qi laughed.

Xuanyuan Yi looked at her dotingly: "Put it away, I know you have a lot."

Feng Qi nodded and took the fish back: "Okay, don't be unhappy, find the entrance of the maze, otherwise we'll just wander around."

Zitong stood up and shook her hair, raised her head and sniffed the air: "Meow..."

The smile on Feng Qi's face froze, and her brows also frowned: "It said it smelled a mind-controlling drug, just like the one in the plague area, but it has been improved."

Xuanyuan Yi asked: "Is it from those people just now? If so, then it's not surprising. After all, we were already targeted before we came here."

Feng Qi nodded: "It should be done by the mastermind behind the scenes, but I still find it strange that the people who came here are too weak."

"Hmm..." Xuanyuan Yi also felt that the people who came were too weak, like soldiers released to explore the way.

"Maybe the person behind the scenes wants to boil the frogs in warm water and kill us bit by bit." Feng Qi pursed her lips, feeling really bad.

Xuanyuan Yi sighed: "No matter what, we must live on."

Feng Qi clenched his hand tightly, no matter how powerful the people behind this scene are, there are also many capable people on her side, so what are you afraid of?

"Meow..." Zitong urged.

Xuanyuan Yi and Feng Qi looked at each other the same way, they all followed Zi Tong.

After running for about a quarter of an hour, Zi Tong squatted down in front of a pit.

Feng Qi raised her eyebrows: "Is this the entrance? You don't want us to dig a hole?"

Zi Tong licked her paw and gave Feng Qi a white look.

Feng Qi was speechless, being called an idiot by a cat, this feeling was too unpleasant.

Xuanyuan Yi touched the outside of the pit with his hand, and said: "This is fake, look for it and there must be a mechanism."

The two immediately split up and searched inch by inch.

"No, I have searched within ten feet of this pit." Feng Qi looked sideways at Zi Tong.

Zitong's ears moved, she patted her forehead with her paw, then lifted her buttocks and moved away, there was actually an unremarkable pebble sitting under her buttocks, this must be a trap!
Feng Qi really wanted to kick this guy away, knowing that they were looking for a mechanism, but it actually sat on the mechanism without moving.

Xuanyuan Yi stretched out his hand and pressed the mechanism, the mud in the pit shrank like a vortex, and there was a black hole below, which could accommodate a fat person to pass through.

"Jump down?" Feng Qi asked.

"Jump, it should be fine!" Xuanyuan Yi jumped in first.

Zi Tong jumped onto Feng Qi's head and curled it up, like a cat fur hat.

After Feng Qi jumped in, the upper entrance was sealed, as expected, only two people could pass through.

The bottom is not as dark as it looks from above, and after getting used to it, it doesn't feel like a hindrance, it's just a little darker for people without martial arts.

"Would the next floor be below this one?" Feng Qi felt that the maze must be quite big.

Xuanyuan Yi shook his head: "I heard that just like the Nine Palaces, every floor is ever-changing, the only thing that remains the same is that the middle floor is the supply floor, but it also hides dangers.

The first floor here is connected to the ninth floor, not the kind of digging straight up and down. "

Feng Qi nodded: "So that's the case, I understand now."

There are a lot of pillars in the maze, and the ground is flat and clean. The key is that there are no patterns inside, giving people the feeling that they have entered a wooded forest.

"It really is a labyrinth, is there any luminous thing to mark it?" Xuanyuan Yi asked.

Feng Qi groped for a while and took out a highlighter pen from her backpack. She didn't know when she had this thing.

Xuanyuan Yi used a highlighter to make a mark, but after walking for a while, he stopped and looked ugly.

"What's wrong?" Feng Qi looked at him.

"The marks made just now are gone, we circle around in place." Xuanyuan Yi looked at the pillar next to him.

"How do you know?" Feng Qi asked.

Xuanyuan Yi pointed to the pillar and said: "There is a scratch here, I don't know how it got there, but I remember we walked here!"

Feng Qi reached out to touch the pillar and knocked again, and found that the inside of the pillar was empty.

The two looked at each other and began to search carefully. There was nothing on the pillars and the ground that could be used as a switch. They both looked up at the same time.

There was a hole the size of a fist under the shadow above, Xuanyuan Yi jumped up and fumbled for it, and took out a cloth bag, and when he opened it was a night pearl the size of an egg.

"Such a big night pearl is rare, but it can't be considered a treasure, right?" Feng Qi was very disappointed.

Xuanyuan Yi smiled and said: "This is something hidden, you see?"

Feng Qi looked over suspiciously, there was a word 1 in the center of Ye Mingzhu, could it be that there is one in every floor of the maze?
"This is what summons the golden dragon. To gather all nine of them seems to be a mission for a saint." Xuanyuan Yi handed the Ye Mingzhu to Feng Qi.

"I've seen golden dragons before, so I don't need these things at all." Feng Qi didn't take it seriously, and threw it into the warehouse.

Xuanyuan Yi smiled lightly: "Since you found it, take it, it's better than being found by others!"

Feng Qi nodded: "Well, but are we trapped like this?"

Xuanyuan Yi shook his head: "No, let's look separately, anyway, we can hear each other's bell, and whoever finds it should shake it three times."

"Okay!" The chances of finding it separately are higher.

At this time, Feng Qi also understood one thing, there are ten entrances to the first floor, that is, ten different places, and these ten places are part of the first floor, but definitely not leading to the second floor.

"Bah..."

"I fell to my death, where the hell is it?"

"Captain, we are coming in, why is it so dark?"

"Can the underground maze not be dark? Find it quickly!"

After Feng Qi heard the conversation from the other side of the wall, she confirmed the direction, maybe looking in the opposite direction will definitely find a way out!
