Chapter 118: Escape from the Ancient Tomb, Surrounded by Dangers

A flash of cold light passed by, and a sharp flying knife was knocked down by the Fairy Lingdie and nailed to the wall. "That was a close call!" Lei Yi broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the Fairy Lingdie's quick reaction, the flying knife would have hit him.

"This passage is full of traps. We must be extremely careful." Dongfang Liuli frowned slightly, her tone solemn. As they continued along this secret passage, they not only had to avoid various hidden weapons and traps along the way, but also had to be constantly on guard against pursuers.

"Damn it, these guys are really lingering around!" Lei Yi gritted his teeth. He knew that the people from Badao Sect would catch up soon and they didn't have much time left.

At the same time, the formation in the secret room had been broken by the leader of Badao Sect and others. They followed the trail left by Lei Yi and others and chased them all the way.

"Military Advisor, are you sure they are taking this road?" The leader of the Badao Sect had a gloomy expression on his face, and his eyes swept around like a knife.

"Master, don't worry. I have left a mark. They will never escape from our grasp." Military Advisor Shen Ji smiled sinisterly, with a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

Lei Yi and the others had no idea that danger was approaching. They carefully cracked the traps in the passage, and every step was extremely difficult.

"Wait!" Lei Yi suddenly stretched out his arm and stopped Dongfang Liuli and Lingdie Fairy behind him.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Liuli asked softly.

Lei Yi didn't say anything, but squatted down and carefully observed the ground. Not far ahead of them, he saw some strange symbols carved on the ground. These symbols were faint and difficult to detect without careful observation.

"This is..." Fairy Lingdie also discovered the symbols on the ground and her expression changed slightly.

"This is an early warning formation. Once it's triggered, it will trigger a chain reaction. We won't be able to escape even if we want to." Lei Yi said solemnly.

"Then what should we do?" Dongfang Liuli asked.

Lei Yi pondered for a moment, his eyes swept around, and finally fell on a stone wall on the right side of the passage.

"Let's go from there!" Lei Yi pointed at the stone wall and said in a deep voice.

Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie followed Lei Yi's gaze, but saw that the stone wall was bare and there was no way out.

"That's a dead end, how can we get there?" asked the Fairy Lingdie in confusion.

"Trust me." Lei Yi didn't explain much, but walked straight to the stone wall, took a deep breath, and then punched out suddenly...

There was a loud bang, and the stone wall did not move at all. Instead, the sound of a mechanism being activated came from deep in the passage. Then, a wave of scorching fire mixed with thick smoke gushed out from the walls on both sides of the passage!

"Oh no, it's a flamethrower!" Lei Yi's face changed drastically. He had calculated everything, but he had never expected that this seemingly ordinary stone wall would contain a hidden secret.

"Get out of the way!" Dongfang Liuli reacted very quickly and grabbed the Fairy Lingdie. The two of them nimbly moved to the side and barely avoided the licking of the flames.

However, the gushing flames completely blocked the passage, and the raging flames formed a wall of fire, blocking their way.

"Damn it, what should I do?" Lei Yi's face was solemn. Feeling the heat wave coming towards him, he was extremely anxious.

"Hahaha, Lei Yi, let's see where you can escape this time!"

At this moment, the triumphant voice of the Badao Sect's leader came from behind, and he was seen approaching them with a group of his men in a menacing manner.

"Oh no, they are catching up with us!" Fairy Lingdie's face was pale and her eyes were full of despair.

"Don't panic, there must be another way out!" Dongfang Liuli forced herself to remain calm and quickly scanned the surroundings.

"Liuli, look there!" Lei Yi suddenly pointed to a hidden hole at the bottom of the right wall of the passage and said, "Maybe we can escape from there!"

Dongfang Liuli looked in the direction of Lei Yi's finger and found a narrow cave that was only wide enough for one person to pass through. The cave was surrounded by rocks and it would be difficult to find without careful observation.

"There's no time to lose, let's go!"

Without hesitation, Lei Yi made a decisive move and was the first to enter the cave. Dongfang Liuli and Fairy Lingdie followed closely behind him. The three of them struggled mightily to squeeze in.

The narrow cave was pitch black, and Lei Yi couldn't see his hand in front of him. He groped his way forward. The breathing sounds of Dongfang Liuli and Lingdie Fairy came to his ears, which seemed particularly clear in this silent environment.

"Liuli, are you okay?" Lei Yi asked in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"I'm fine," Dongfang Liuli replied, "but this cave is too dark. We have to be careful to avoid getting lost."

"Roar!"

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, the voice full of anger and murderous intent.

"Oh no! It's the Mad Lion Warrior!" Fairy Lingdie's face changed and she exclaimed, "He must have caught up with us!"

"Liuli, you take the map and go first. Fairy Lingdie and I will stay here to stop him!" Lei Yi said in a firm tone. He knew that now was not the time to hesitate and he had to make a decision.

Dongfang Liuli wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lei Yi: "Stop talking, leave! This is an order!"

Looking at Lei Yi's determined eyes, Dongfang Liuli knew that if she stayed she would only become a burden to him. She gritted her teeth, took the map handed to her by Lei Yi, turned around and ran towards the depths of the cave.

"You two, don't even think about escaping!"

The mad lion warrior roared, brandished the giant axe in his hand, and pounced towards Lei Yi and the Spirit Butterfly Fairy...

With a loud bang, the boulder fell, nearly hitting Lei Yi's heel. He looked back and saw the ferocious face of the Mad Lion Warrior, illuminated by the firelight, even more terrifying. He was waving his giant axe, trying to open the cave entrance again.

"Hurry up!" Lei Yi pushed the Fairy Lingdie, and the two of them crouched down and quickly moved through the narrow passage in the faint light.

"Roar!" The roar of the mad lion warrior echoed behind him, accompanied by the sound of boulders rolling, which showed that he was chasing madly.

Lei Yi and Fairy Lingdie ran all the way. After all, Fairy Lingdie's cultivation was still shallow, so she was soon out of breath. Lei Yi grabbed her and protected her behind him. He drew his long sword and stared at the corner of the passage with a sharp gaze.

"Here it comes!" Lei Yi shouted softly, and his body rushed out like a cheetah. The long sword in his hand turned into a silver light and pierced the face of the mad lion warrior.

The mad lion warrior was prepared and swept his giant axe across to block Lei Yi's attack. At the same time, he roared and swung the giant axe down at Lei Yi's head.

Lei Yi dodged sideways and slashed with his sword, leaving a deep wound on the mad lion warrior's arm that was visible to the bone.

"Ah!" The Mad Lion Warrior felt pain, his rage growing even stronger, and his attacks became even more fierce. Lei Yi and the Fairy Spirit Butterfly joined forces to deal with him in this narrow passage.

Although the Spirit Butterfly Fairy's cultivation is not as good as that of the Mad Lion Warrior, she is agile and often throws darts and hidden weapons in her hands, and she can always create trouble for the Mad Lion Warrior unexpectedly.

Lei Yi seized the opportunity and stabbed the Crazy Lion Warrior in the thigh with his sword, causing blood to gush out immediately. The Crazy Lion Warrior cried out in pain and stumbled back.

"Let's go!" Lei Yi took the opportunity to pull the Fairy Lingdie, and the two of them ran again.

The mad lion warrior covered his wound and was furious, but the passage was narrow and he was too big to move, so he could only watch Lei Yi and Lingdie Fairy escape.

Lei Yi and Fairy Lingdie finally escaped from the pursuit of the Mad Lion Warrior. They collapsed to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.

"Where is Liuli?" Fairy Lingdie looked around and found that this was a huge underground space, surrounded by towering stone walls, with only deep passages leading to the unknown darkness.

"She should be exploring the way." Lei Yi stood up with the help of the wall, enduring the pain in his body and carefully observing the surrounding environment. "This place looks like a maze."

"Maze?" Fairy Lingdie's expression changed. "Then what should we do?"

"Let's find Liuli first." Lei Yi said, walking along one of the passages, with the Fairy Lingdie following closely behind him.

The two of them walked through the maze for a long time, but still couldn't find Dongfang Liuli.

"Liuli, where are you?" Lei Yi shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty maze, but there was no response.

At this moment, footsteps were heard in the distance, accompanied by the cold voice of the leader of the Ba Dao Sect: "Lei Yi, you can't escape!"

Lei Yi and Fairy Lingdie's faces changed and they hurriedly hid in a passage nearby.

"It seems they have come in too." Fairy Lingdie said in a low voice, her tone full of worry.

"Don't worry, we just need to be careful and we will definitely find a way out." Lei Yi comforted, but his heart was filled with uneasiness. He knew that the real challenge had just begun.

The figures of the leader of Badao Sect and the military advisor of Shenji appeared at the end of the passage. They looked around, as if looking for something.

"Search separately!" The cold voice of Military Advisor Shen Ji sounded, and the two figures flashed and entered different passages.

Lei Yi and Fairy Lingdie hid in the dark, watching their figures go away, and a feeling of despair suddenly arose in their hearts.

"We..." Fairy Lingdie was about to speak, but Lei Yi covered her mouth with his hand.

Lei Yi's face was solemn, and he stared intently at one of the passages, because he could sense a powerful aura approaching rapidly...

"It's the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect!" Fairy Lingdie couldn't help but exclaim, sensing the overwhelming presence, but she quickly covered her mouth, keeping her voice down. Lei Yi's face was solemn, and he gestured to Fairy Lingdie to silence her, signaling her not to act rashly.

The Ba Dao Sect leader's figure drew closer, and Lei Yi could even hear his heavy breathing. He held his breath, gently pulling the Spirit Butterfly Fairy behind him, and gripped his sword tightly, ready for the upcoming battle.

"Strange, I could clearly feel that guy's presence nearby, how come he suddenly disappeared?" The voice of the leader of the Badao Sect echoed in the passage, with a hint of confusion and impatience in his tone.

It turned out that at the critical moment, Lei Yi thought of a clever idea and hit the wall on the other side of the passage with a piece of rubble, making a noise that successfully misled the leader of the Badao Sect, making him mistakenly believe that he was chasing in the wrong direction.

The Ba Dao Sect's leader lingered at the entrance for a moment before finally turning and leaving. Lei Yi and Fairy Ling Die finally breathed a sigh of relief, their backs against the cold stone wall, still trembling with fear.

"That was a close call!" Fairy Lingdie patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "Luckily you reacted quickly, otherwise we would have been in danger."

Lei Yi shook his head, his expression still serious: "We are not out of danger yet. This maze is complicated and they will find us sooner or later."

"Then what should we do?" asked the Fairy Lingdie, her tone full of anxiety.

Lei Yi pondered for a moment and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative and find a way to get rid of them."

"But we don't know anything about the terrain here. How can we get rid of them?"

"Liuli has the map of the ancient tomb. Let's go find her first!" Lei Yi said, and was about to get up, but was stopped by the Fairy Lingdie.

"Wait!" The Fairy Psylocke pointed at a detail on the ground and said, "Look, what is this?"

Lei Yi followed the Fairy's gaze and saw some fine white powder scattered on the ground. It was hard to detect unless you looked closely. He squatted down, gently picked up a little powder, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, his expression suddenly changed.

"This is……"

"It's tracking fans!" Fairy Psylocke said solemnly, "It seems our every move is under their surveillance."

Lei Yi stood up, his eyes scanning the intricate maze of passageways around him. Suddenly, a bold plan came to mind. He whispered his plan into Fairy Lingdie's ear...

"Will this work?" Fairy Lingdie asked worriedly after hearing Lei Yi's plan.

"Wealth and honor are achieved through risk. This is our only chance." A hint of determination flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. "Believe me!"

After saying this, he pulled up Fairy Lingdie and ran towards the depths of the maze. They didn't know that not far behind them, the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect and the Divine Machine Military Advisor were looking at them with a sneer, as if everything was under their control...

"Let them live a little longer. Once they find the entrance to the treasure, that will be their death!" Military Advisor Shen Ji's cold voice echoed through the empty maze, his tone filled with murderous intent. Meanwhile, Lei Yi and Fairy Ling Die had reached a fork in the road. They paused, facing three identical passages.

"This is it," Lei Yi pointed to one of the passages and whispered, "Be careful..." Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a strange sound came from the depths of the passage, which made people shudder.
