Just as the group had walked for about two kilometers and passed a corner of a stone passage,

Zhou Zheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Shen Xing, wait a moment."

Shen Xing stopped, turned around, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, but looked at the stone wall beside him. "Look there, doesn't the outline look like a stone gate?"

"Stone Gate..."

Shen Xing and Jiang Rong turned their heads and saw that there was indeed a square outline on the wall, like a stone door embedded in it.

Moreover, the more I looked at it, the more familiar the stone gate seemed.

"Why does it look somewhat similar to the stone gate at our starting point?" Shen Xing wondered.

"It's not just a resemblance; this is the stone gate at the starting point," Zhou Zheng said with a smile.

Shen Xing was slightly surprised. "You mean... this is another player's save point?"

"That's right."

Shen Xing was surprised again.

Unexpectedly, as they wandered around, they ended up at another player's spawn point.

From this perspective, the entire maze appears to be enormous, but its interiors are interconnected.

In other words, as long as the right route can be found, it's even possible to gather all the Heavenly Star Nation players together and lead them out.

Of course, this is very difficult and not very realistic.

There simply isn't enough time.

The Spiral Labyrinth is only open for 24 hours, which is not even enough time to search for treasure, let alone help others.

Therefore, he would at most find a few of his companions and then lead them away.

"Shen Xing, do you know what it means that we found other players' save points?" Zhou Zheng suddenly asked.

"What?" Shen Xing asked instinctively.

Zhou Zheng smiled mysteriously, then reached his left hand out of his trench coat pocket, where a Greater Soul Stone was revealed.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

Greater Soul Stone appeared to him as if by magic.

Shen Xing stared wide-eyed, then suddenly realized something. "You... you took this out from inside!?"

Chapter 231: Reunion, Crushing the Overlord

"You... you took this from inside the stone chamber!?" Shen Xing asked, his face filled with shock.

Zhou Zheng nodded.

At this moment, both Shen Xing and Jiang Rong were stunned.

This is outrageous! Could it get any more ridiculous?!

Taking resources directly from other players' spawn points is practically robbing them.

Shen Xing took a deep breath and asked with surprise, "Captain Zhou, how much can you take out of there?"

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "The storage boxes inside aren't far from us; we can probably empty them all out."

"But I'd better not, it wouldn't be good if I accidentally raided the spawn point of a local lord."

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback, realizing that what he said made some sense.

However, if we don't raid the spawn point of the Heavenly Star Nation's lord, we can raid the spawn points of other countries!

With so many lords entering the maze this time, even excluding the hundred-plus from Heavenly Star's side, there are still over a thousand.

With the compass's guidance, he could even hollow out the entire maze and all the lords' strongholds!

Of course, doing so is likely to arouse suspicion from other countries.

After all, everyone else has lost their resources, and only your Heavenly Star Nation still has them. Even a fool could see that something was wrong.

Therefore, this matter needs to be seriously considered.

Before that, let's find the other team members and reunite first.

Shen Xing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.

The three of them then continued forward through the passage.

At the same time, Shen Xing also kept Zhou Zheng in Mind's Eye.

After all, his ability is too exaggerated; you wouldn't even know when he might steal something from you.

It would be troublesome if he stole his compass.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng still has some principles and doesn't attack players from his own country.

Thinking of this, Shen Xing relaxed a bit.

Next, they continued to wander through the maze, getting closer and closer to Qin Lang's location.

Time flew by, and an hour had passed.

At the same time.

In the dark passageway on the other side, a tall man dressed in full pumpkin-shaped heavy armor was running for his life.

Because he was dressed so thickly, he ran like a rolling tin can.

"Huff... huff..."

He hadn't run for long before he was panting heavily and couldn't help but take off his helmet.

Just as I was about to stop and catch my breath, a rumbling sound came from the tunnel behind me, as if some enormous creature was rapidly approaching.

Looking back, I immediately caught sight of a terrifying figure.

Its body was covered in black armor, it had a huge hooked spike at its tail, and it was as big as a car. It crawled quickly on the ground, closing the distance rapidly.

It is one of the more troublesome monsters in the Land of Mist — the Frenzied Dark Manticore.

"Holy crap! How can there be a Tier Three Overlord Rank Lion Scorpion like this, and it even broke out of the passage to chase after me?"

"Is this even allowed to live?"

Qin Lang, panting heavily, supported himself on his thighs and complained.

Sensing the ever-approaching danger behind him, he could only grit his teeth and continue running.

"Boom..."

The lion scorpion behind them was also accelerating wildly, its massive body constantly charging through the tunnel, causing the walls to shake violently.

As Qin Lang ran, he quickly recalled the route in his mind.

"Don't run forward. There's a stone gate ahead. If we don't pass the test in time, this monster will catch up with us."

"The left side is a dead end. There's a teleportation point nearby that can take you back, but it takes a few seconds to activate, so it's unlikely you'll make it in time."

"Oh right, I remember there's a fork in the road on the right; I haven't been to that place yet."

"Although it's very likely another dead end, we have no choice but to take the gamble!"

With that thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and suddenly squeezed into the passage on the right.

However, after running for about two or three hundred meters, he stopped in despair once again.

At that moment, a closed stone wall blocked his way, cutting off his hope of escape.

"Damn it, can't I just have one lucky break?!"

Qin Lang stomped his foot in anger, then quickly took out the 'Mist Crystal' from his backpack.

I was just about to crush it when I hesitated.

After all, he had been in the maze for several hours and hadn't gotten anything valuable, just some materials and soul fragments.

I finally found a reward room, only to discover that it was hiding an Overlord Rank creature.

Leaving like that, looking so dejected, was truly disheartening.

But feeling the ever-approaching aura of Overlord Rank, and the dangerous warnings coming from his body, he finally sighed helplessly.

"Alas, as long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn!"

"When your Uncle Qin comes in next time, I'll make you beg for mercy on your knees!"

As he spoke, he prepared to crush the crystal.

Just then, three whooshing sounds came from the other side of the passageway.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Three dark metal spheres shot out with lightning speed, heading straight for the giant lion scorpion.

Caught off guard, all three attacks hit their mark.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

"Hiss--!!"

A dull metallic clang and a roar rang out simultaneously.

The charging lion scorpion seemed to have been struck by some Heavy Strike; its body arched violently before it slammed into the wall beside it.

Qin Lang paused in his action of crushing the crystal, and looked up with a somewhat blank expression.

In the dusty passageway, several familiar figures could be vaguely seen, along with that iconic 'Flame Dragon Wheelchair'!

"Holy crap, a wheelchair... no, Shen Xing!"

Qin Lang exclaimed in surprise, "My dear brother! Am I seeing things? Or am I dreaming?!"

Before he could step forward, Shen Xing's familiar voice came from the other side of the passage.

"Stay there and don't move. We'll come back after we deal with this monster."

Qin Lang finally realized he wasn't dreaming, and his eyes lit up with ecstatic joy.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he knew he was saved and didn't have to crush the crystal to run away!

At this moment, the Frenzied Dark Manticore was struck Heavy Strike by Shen Xing's attack, which also completely aroused its hatred.

It suddenly turned its head, raising its massive head high, its scarlet pupils gleaming with Wrath.

"Boom!"

The lion scorpion suddenly accelerated and pounced towards them.
