The Demon God's Maze

The ground in the Quicksand World was covered with enormous green hands.

The sky, meanwhile, was completely obscured by the Ancient Era World-Eating Demonic Insect.

Yet, in a cruel twist of irony, the people who had temporarily escaped all this were now caught up in unprecedented chaos and frenzied slaughter.

They fought over the rare treasures and gathered all kinds of supplies.

It was as if they were desperately trying to prove that doing so would let them live longer than everyone else.

In the most remote corner of the Floating City.

This place had escaped the chaos and was temporarily at peace.

Xiao Xi set down her chopsticks, finishing her meal.

"Sorry, I ate a little too much," she said, blushing.

She had polished off every dish on the table.

Gu Qingshan smiled. "Don't worry. An empty plate is the best compliment a cook can receive."

"Really?"

"Mm. I wouldn't lie to you."

Gu Qingshan cleared away the soup pot and plates.

He took out some more ingredients, planning to quickly whip up a couple of simple dishes for himself.

"Actually, food is also one way of understanding the world. It lets you appreciate the wonders of the world in a pleasurable way."

He spoke as he prepared the ingredients.

Xiao Xi said nothing, only nodding vigorously.

Suddenly, a figure came hurtling through the air and slammed into the ground near them.

Bright red blood spilled from his body, quickly forming a shocking pool.

The figure lay motionless on the ground.

Gu Qingshan glanced at him, set the first stir-fried dish on the table, and walked over.

Xiao Xi took one look at the man and said, "He's too badly injured. His consciousness is already fading, and he has several fatal wounds. I don't think he can be saved."
