The moment he entered the ruins, Huo Hai discovered that there were many different openings inside. From the outside, there had only been one entrance, but within, the paths twisted and tangled like an ant nest, making it easy to lose one's way.
Even if one did not get lost, finding the right path was extremely difficult. "Which way should we go?" After entering the ruins, Qu Siyu stayed close behind Huo Hai and left every decision to him.
Huo Hai did not decline. Casually pointing ahead, he said, "Let's go this way." The path Huo Hai indicated was slightly left of center. Qu Siyu did not hesitate in the slightest. The moment she saw Huo Hai walk forward, she immediately followed close behind, clutching her zither in one hand as though ready to fight at any moment. Before long, they reached the next intersection, and Huo Hai swiftly chose another path and continued onward.
It seemed as though Huo Hai had been choosing paths at random, but only Huo Hai himself knew that he was not guessing blindly. In truth, the instant he entered the ruins, Huo Hai knew he had come to the right place this time.
Before coming here that morning, Huo Hai had hung the pendant he had obtained from Blood Wolf around his neck. Just after entering the ruins, Huo Hai sensed that the pendant was slowly pulsing.
Huo Hai poured his Mental Power into the red sphere within the pendant, immediately sensing waves of mysterious fluctuations. Following those fluctuations, Huo Hai unexpectedly gained a rough idea of the direction of the ruins' true center. So long as the way ahead was not a dead end, he could simply keep moving in that direction. Many of the paths here had originally been interconnected.
