Shen Xing opened his eyes and was stunned when he saw Jiang Rong's attire.

She was dressed in a pure white priest's robe, wearing a pure white crown, and holding a short staff in her hand.

She exuded a devout and solemn aura, completely different from the gentle and mature woman she had been before.

"Senior Jiang Rong, is this your equipment from the Land of Mist?" Shen Xing asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Jiang Rong responded softly, "I am the hidden class 'Holy Blood Priest,' and this is my class set."

Shen Xing nodded in realization and sincerely praised, "That's right, it suits you quite well."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Jiang Rong's pretty face turned even redder.

"Alright, let's continue." Shen Xing withdrew her gaze. "Keep holding onto the back of my wheelchair."

"Um..."

Next, Shen Xing continued to push the wheelchair, navigating the maze filled with mirrors.

Jiang Rong followed behind, her gaze gradually shifting from initial bewilderment to shock.

She discovered that the various illusions and obstacles in this maze seemed to have no effect on Shen Xing!

What... what's going on!?

Before he could think any further, he had already arrived at the central area of this mirror maze.

What appeared before them was a Xiao Xiao room.

It was only about two meters square, and the walls on all sides were made of crystal.

In the center of the room, there was a stone platform about half a person's height, on which sat a dark red gemstone about the size of a fist, which constantly emitted a scorching heat.

"This looks like... Blaze Crystal Gem?"

Jiang Rong's beautiful eyes widened, her voice filled with disbelief. "My God, there's one this big!?"

Chapter 229: The Proof of Hero in the Boss's Hands, Rewards Hall!

"My God! There's such a huge Blaze Crystal Gem! We're rich!" Jiang Rong exclaimed, staring at the gem in the center of the room.

Shen Xing asked in confusion, "What is the Blaze Crystal Gem?"

Although he already knew a lot about the background and knowledge of the Land of Mist.

But as mentioned before, the world is too big and there are too many things to remember.

Moreover, according to the 'Sponge World' theory, the Land of Mist are continuously devouring and merging other worlds.

These new worlds each have different Civilization and histories, and each one that is integrated adds many new elements.

Therefore, even seasoned Master who have spent many years in the Land of Mist cannot possibly know everything.

Jiang Rong explained softly, "This is an Epic- quality fire-attribute gem, usually used to be socketed into staves or weapons to greatly enhance fire-attribute power."

"One of these items costs around 1 billion on the market, which is equivalent to one million contribution points."

"But usually, this kind of gemstone is only about the size of an eye."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a large 'Blaze Crystal Gem'."

After listening, Shen Xing understood the function of this gemstone.

From this perspective, the value of the object before them is quite astonishing.

Moreover, there happens to be a powerful fire mage in her territory, who might be of help to her.

"Shen Xing, you should take it away quickly, lest other players see it later," Jiang Rong whispered a reminder.

"OK."

Shen Xing didn't stand on ceremony. After all, if it weren't for him, Jiang Rong might have wandered around here all day without ever getting here.

With a surge of spiritual energy, he enveloped the gemstone and vanished from the spot.

"Let's go, Senior Jiang Rong."

Shen Xing said, "Let's move on to the next place and see if we can find the others to join us."

"Okay..." Jiang Rong nodded gently.

Then, she continued to hold onto the back of the wheelchair and followed Shen Xing forward.

The journey was winding and circuitous, but we encountered no obstacles.

As they continued to move forward, Jiang Rong gradually realized this.

He hardly needs to think or judge; he can directly find the right path at each intersection.

Even as the mirror maze moved and changed positions, it did not pose the slightest obstacle to him.

This is incredible.

Even the smartest and most observant person would at least need to analyze the situation, right?

But what about him?

They don't even look at it, as if they already have the complete route in their minds.

Jiang Rong couldn't help but recall the speculations on the forum and Director Zhang's judgment.

Could this young man truly be the possessor of the SSS-level talent: the Seven-Orificed Exquisite Heart?

Thinking of this, Jiang Rong's eyes trembled slightly, her gaze becoming even more shocked.

Shen Xing had no idea what Jiang Rong was thinking at that moment.

He was using his mental power to sense the compass in his pocket, constantly changing his position based on the direction of the pointer.

After all, this thing's functions are just too incredible.

If others knew that he possessed such a compass, which allowed him to navigate mazes with ease, Master Rank experts from various countries would likely want to steal it from him.

Although this item requires sacrificing 'luck points' each time it's used, other people can't use it more than a few times.

As for Jiang Rong... it's not that I don't trust her, but rather that I have a necessary sense of caution.

"Rippling... ripples..."

The wheelchair rolled across the smooth surface.

They soon emerged from the mirror maze and entered a completely new stone passage.

The next steps are the same as before.

Arrive at each stone gate, then select 'Trial of Strength', defeat the monsters inside, and collect the loot.

Then proceed to the next path with the highest reward.

Jiang Rong followed behind him the whole way, watching him walk as if on flat ground, her eyes filled with even more shock.

The previous mirror maze map was relatively easy to understand, as it contained symbols and text clues; deciphering the information allowed one to find the correct route.

But these passageways are entirely new areas that have never been traversed before.

Yet he was still able to accurately find the correct route.

Keep in mind that if it were her, she would have already gone back to the starting point and started over many times by now.

Jiang Rong took a deep breath, becoming even more certain that Shen Xing was definitely the possessor of the 'Seven-Orificed Exquisite Heart'.

Shen Xing was unaware of Jiang Rong's thoughts and continued to advance through the maze.

Time passed quickly, and about an hour went by.

During this time, the two cracked dozens of stone gates, reaping a large amount of resources and spoils, which they distributed according to their contributions.

Similarly, they also encountered other players.

However, upon seeing the two together, the other party immediately left, clearly fearing that Shen Xing and Jiang Rong would join forces against them.

At this moment, Jiang Rong no longer worried about Shen Xing's talent; she only knew that she had finally managed to get on his good side.

You no longer need to rack your brains to remember those complicated routes; you can just follow behind, occasionally throwing out a few skills, and then wait to share the spoils.

This feeling of not having to use my brain is just amazing!

"Director Zhang and Elder Wang also said that with my abilities, I would most likely get lost in the maze for a whole day."

"Hehe, this time I'll make you all look at me in a new light and become one of the players who find the exit!"

Jiang Rongrong clenched her small fists secretly.

"Senior Jiang Rong, keep up with me." Shen Xing's voice rang out from ahead.

"Here I am!"

She ran over quickly, her magnificent breasts trembling slightly with each step.

At this moment, the two stopped once again in front of a huge stone gate.

However, unlike the stone doors we had encountered before, this door was golden and had a double-door design, as if it led to some important place.

"Huh? McDonald's?" Shen Xing exclaimed softly.

Jiang Rong gazed at the stone gate before her, lost in thought, and said, "I remember Elder Wang saying that behind these golden stone gates often lies a very important treasure."

"There are only a few of these in the entire Spiral Labyrinth; we're really lucky."

Shen Xing smiled slightly upon hearing this. What good luck? He simply chose the route with the highest rewards.

However, this also piqued his interest; perhaps there were some extraordinary treasures inside.

"In that case, let's go in and take a look together."

As soon as Shen Xing finished speaking, his mental energy directly touched the 'sword' pattern on the stone gate, activating the Trial of Strength.

"Whoosh..."

A thick cloud of gray fog billowed out from the cracks in the door, enveloping the entire passageway.

Shen Xing quickly created some distance, with three Telekinesis Orb floating beside him.

Jiang Rong also raised her staff, stood behind him, and assumed a fighting stance.

Under their watchful eyes, bursts of golden light erupted from the gray fog.

Immediately afterwards, a series of neat and heavy footsteps sounded, and a figure slowly approached from the mist.

"Tap—tap tap—"

When the figure emerged completely from the mist, it revealed a group of golden-armored guards clad in golden armor and wielding golden spears.

Leading the group was a more imposing golden-armored captain whose imposing presence was almost tangible!

"Thirty golden-armored guards, all of whom are at least Tier Three Elite Rank."

"The one in the lead has the potential to Boss Three-Star, and his level is around 29."

"With this setup, we'll probably need to show some real skill to handle it."

Shen Xing quickly analyzed the situation and then made a decision immediately.
