With no further movement from over there, Elder Wang grew increasingly restless.
The three of them were grasshoppers tied to the same string now. If Chen Yu died, neither he nor Xiang Baiwei would survive. Black mist filled this place, and with Elder Jin's cultivated divine sense, they could not escape even if they wanted to.
He could not keep waiting like a fool.
And so, ignoring Xiang Baiwei's attempts to stop him,
Elder Wang resolutely stepped into the range of the Star-Dipper Maze Formation.
Then he was dumbfounded.
"This... th-this... what the hell is this place?!"
He walked for a long time without seeing a single soul. No matter where he went, the scenery around him barely changed, as though he kept going in circles.
And for some reason, his whole body felt a little itchy...
After putting away Xiao Lei's corpse, Chen Yu heard Elder Wang's voice behind him but paid it no attention.
He swiftly retrieved all the materials for the Star-Dipper Maze Formation. The various poison traps inside it could not be recovered, but that was no great problem. With the Poison Scripture in his possession, he could refine those poisons again in the future.
Once he had finished,
Chen Yu walked toward the direction Elder Wang's voice had come from.
Soon, Elder Wang's hazy figure appeared in the black mist ahead, scratching his ears and cheeks like a monkey. As Chen Yu drew closer, he realized Elder Wang was scratching an itch.
"Elder Wang."
Chen Yu cupped his hands toward him in greeting.
Elder Wang's entire body itched unbearably, and at the same time, his true qi seemed to be dissipating uncontrollably. Realizing he might have been poisoned, he hurriedly told Chen Yu, "I've been poisoned. Don't worry about me. Watch out for Elder Jin!"
