Encountering Hake

"Behind this gate lay several consecutive mazes. The order of the mazes should have been random. Hake must have been trapped inside one of them."

Gu Ding floated in the void. After being transported through the pyramid, he found himself in the third maze. He spread out his soul power but still could not detect Hake's aura, so he began working on solving the maze.

This maze's ground was covered in irregular square tiles. Gu Ding stood still, not daring to move carelessly, because he knew that one wrong step could bring unpleasant consequences.

As he carefully observed the tiles on the ground, Gu Ding soon discovered that some of the gaps between them concealed Heavenly Dao Patterns.

He quickly found the key to this maze: he had to step on certain tiles to complete the Heavenly Dao Patterns. One wrong step could trigger an attack from the patterns or trap him within them.

Gu Ding quickly found the solution as well. With several leaps, he completed the Heavenly Dao Patterns.

The tile beneath his feet slowly sank into the ground. An ordinary person might have assumed they had made a mistake upon seeing this and fled at once. But Gu Ding knew he had not erred. The sinking tile meant he had cleared the maze.

Sure enough, once his body had completely sunk underground and his eyes had passed through a stretch of darkness, he soon saw the light again.

The moment Gu Ding entered this maze, his expression turned ecstatic, because he had finally sensed Hake's aura within it.

"Over there!" Gu Ding looked toward a distant direction. Yet he did not act immediately, merely watching from afar.

Waves of energy fluctuations and booming impacts echoed throughout the maze. A powerful expert was striking something over there.
