Warren's Rise and Fall

When everyone entered the maze, they found that it was completely different from what they saw from the outside. What they saw from the outside was uncovered, but after they came in, they found that it was covered. So the idea of ​​traversing the maze by jumping was naturally not possible, and there were five paths less than 10 meters away from the entrance.

The people from the Seven Stars Holy Land had the most people, so they were the first to choose. They chose the middle path that seemed to be safer. Then the people from the Six Minds Sect chose the path on the far right. Then the people from the Five Elements Palace chose the path between the middle and the far right. Then the people from the four families of Ximen, Nangong, Dongfang, and Beiye formed a team and chose the path between the middle and the far left. Wang Lunwo, Changsun Mingzhi, Sima Yan'er, and the rest of the casual cultivators chose the path on the far left. There was not much talk during the entire selection process, and it was all based on one's own strength, so Wang Lunwo, Changsun Mingzhi, and Sima Yan'er naturally chose the path on the far left with the casual cultivators.

"Don't worry, my dear brother. Since this is a maze, each path has its own advantages. Although we are the last to choose, we are not necessarily the most disadvantaged." Changsun Mingzhi comforted calmly.

"Brother Changsun, don't worry. I naturally take things as they come and don't have too many thoughts. But I hope that the cultivators behind me can work together to overcome the difficulties." Wang Lunwo said this to both Changsun Mingzhi and the cultivators behind him.

“Two gentlemen, don’t worry too much. Although our strength may not be as good as those of the famous sects, we still have the credibility we should have. If there is any danger in this maze, we will not flee.” said one of the cultivators.

"Okay, let's keep moving forward." After saying that, Wang Lunwo continued to lead the way with a torch in his hand. The torches were left by those who had come in to explore before, and they were all considered a benefit for those who came later.

Everyone followed Wang Lunwo carefully, their footsteps echoing in the narrow passage, and the atmosphere became more solemn. The walls of the maze exuded an old atmosphere, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

Not long after they walked, someone stepped on the mechanism, and there was a sudden "whoosh" sound from the front. Wang Lunwo's heart tightened, and he shouted loudly: "Be careful, there are hidden weapons!" Before he finished speaking, countless arrows shot at him like raindrops. Wang Lunwo reacted quickly, waving the axe in his hand, shooting down the arrows shot at him. Changsun Mingzhi was not to be outdone, and he exerted his inner strength to form a shield to protect Sima Yan'er beside him.

However, the independent cultivators were not so lucky. Some of the lower-level independent cultivators were unable to dodge and were hit by arrows, falling to the ground in pain. "Everyone, find shelter!" Wang Lunwo shouted while blocking the arrows. Everyone hid in the depressions on both sides of the passage, temporarily avoiding the attack of the rain of arrows.

When the arrows stopped flying, Wang Lunwo counted the number of people and found that three casual cultivators had unfortunately died. He was filled with guilt and anger: "Everyone must be careful, and don't let such a tragedy happen again!" Everyone nodded, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

As they continued to move forward, suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard. Wang Lunwo looked up and saw a huge rock rolling behind them. "Run!" he shouted. Everyone hurriedly accelerated and ran forward, but the speed of the falling rock was extremely fast and the distance between them and the rock and the rock was getting closer and closer.

At this time, no one knew who stepped on the mechanism, or maybe it was designed that way. Suddenly, the stone slab on the road shrank back in the middle of the group, and the three people were unable to react and fell directly into the deep pit. There were sharp blades in the deep pit. The three people had nowhere to relay and the incident happened suddenly. There was also a huge rock chasing them from behind. They were killed by the sharp blades before they could use their power. The people behind saw such a deep pit and jumped directly into it. Finally, the huge rock also stopped in the deep pit.

"Three more of our peers have been killed. I hope you will all be extremely careful." Wang Lunwo gave a warning and continued to move forward. After all, everyone knew that if this maze had opportunities, it would definitely be accompanied by risks. Everyone had been struggling in the world of immortal cultivation for many years, and they were all independent cultivators from all over the place. They didn't have strong emotions, so they didn't feel too sad at this time and continued on their way.

At this time, there were less than 20 people left in the whole team. They all looked haggard, with uneasiness and anxiety in their eyes, but the desire for unknown treasures in their hearts still drove them to continue exploring.

Soon, everyone came to a relatively spacious room, about 50 square meters. Faint light seeped in from the cracks in the wall, barely illuminating this mysterious space. The most eye-catching thing in the whole room was a small green tree more than two meters tall, full of life. The green branches and leaves seemed to be swaying gently, giving off a mysterious and attractive atmosphere. The tree was covered with 9 crystal clear fruits, like dazzling gems, emitting charming light.

Changsun Mingzhi immediately put his ear to Wang Lunwo's cheek and whispered, "Brother, this is an extremely rare Changchun tree. The fruit on the tree should be the rare Chunling Fruit, which can greatly stimulate the life potential of practitioners. Even ordinary people who take it can extend their lifespan by more than ten years. Of course, it is a complete waste of resources for ordinary people to take it. The effect on cultivators is far greater than that on ordinary people. The most important thing is that this fruit may be able to cure my hidden disease, so I, your brother, shamelessly hope that you can help me pick one." There was eagerness and expectation in Changsun Mingzhi's voice, and his eyes were fixed on the fruit on the tree, as if that was the whole hope of his life.

At this time, some of the scattered cultivators also noticed, "It's the Spring Spirit Fruit." This sound was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, and everyone's faces showed greed. Their eyes instantly became hot, and the desire in their hearts was completely ignited.

"This rare fruit is probably guarded by a demon beast." Sima Yan'er whispered to Wang Lunwo and Changsun Mingzhi. Although her voice was soft, it made everyone's heart tighten slightly.

As expected, as soon as Sima Yan'er finished speaking, two green one-meter-long mantises appeared behind the tree trunk. Just now, everyone's eyes were on the Spring Spirit Fruit and they didn't notice it. Now they carefully observed the two mantises. Their bodies were like jade carvings, flashing with strange light, and their sharp forelimbs were like blades, which made people shudder. From the breath, it feels that their cultivation is not weak. Unfortunately, this maze isolates perception, so everyone does not know the specific cultivation level of these two mantises.

Wang Lunwo knew that there were both dangers and opportunities at the moment. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone, the Spring Spirit Fruit is right in front of us, but there are two mantises blocking the way. Everyone should work together to get rid of these two mantises, and then we can talk about the distribution of the fruit later." After that, he took out the shield from the storage bag and entered the combat state. The shield shone with a cold light in the weak light, as if it was a symbol of his firm will.

The scattered cultivators behind him also showed their weapons one after another, and for a moment, the flashes of swords and sabers were everywhere. Some held long swords, the blades glowed coldly; some held long knives, the blades were extremely sharp.
