Lan Xiangyuan didn't understand why they were losing health when they hadn't been attacked.

But then I thought about it again and it seemed normal.

She had also read tomb raiding novels and knew that there was a mysterious "corpse aura" in tombs, which, like miasma, could poison people.

She believed that Nie Wan must have guessed the current situation beforehand, so she spoke directly.

Do you have any medicine?

"Have."

Nie Wan took a bottle of Jade Dew Pills directly from her backpack and handed it to Lan Xiangyuan.

"Don't eat it now. Wait until the damage above your head reaches 1000 before you start eating it."

"Why? Is there some special reason for this?"

Lan Xiangyuan asked the question out of habit, but then realized she shouldn't have, fearing she might get an answer that would infuriate her.

As expected, Nie Wan replied with her signature smile, "There's nothing special about it, it's just that this way we save on medicine."

Lan Xiangyuan suddenly realized that she had actually developed a resistance to it, and she no longer felt the urge to punch that annoying smile.

Because she can now always realize the other layer of meaning in Nie Wan's words.

"Save medicine? Is this tomb passage so long that you need to save medicine?"

Nie Wan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed by her calm demeanor.

It's kind of boring that someone who's always been easy to tease has suddenly become so tough and doesn't get angry so easily anymore.

Lan Xiangyuan clearly saw this meaning in her eyes, and gritted her teeth as she said, "Answer me."

“Yes.” Nie Wan immediately became serious as well. “You should be prepared to walk until your legs break.”

Lan Xiangyuan initially wondered if Nie Wan was exaggerating to deceive her, but she soon discovered that Nie Wan was actually serious.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes passed, and she continued to use the assassin's Shadowless skill to keep up with Nie Wan, running an average of twenty meters per second. However, after running like this for half an hour, she still could not see the end of the tomb passage.

"Could we be stuck in a maze of ghosts?"

She couldn't help but ask a question.

“I used to think so too, but now I don’t think so.”

Lan Xiangyuan couldn't help but feel curious upon hearing this.

What do you mean by "before"? Did she come here before?

Nie Wan had never been to the tomb of General Ming Huan, but in her previous life, the discovery of this great tomb shocked the entire China region.

The tomb itself is an excellent base for guilds, and the forty-nine burial chambers within it represent forty-nine opportunities for the inheritance of special professions.

The person who excavated this tomb was originally an ordinary, unknown tomb raider.

After excavating this large tomb, he soared to great heights.

With the help of various special items and skills found in the tomb, he directly rose to the ninety-second place on the Heavenly Ranking and earned the title of Lord of the Blood Tomb.

In her previous life, Nie Wan had specifically sought out the Lord of the Blood Tomb and coerced him into revealing many details.

Upon returning, she immediately trained the tomb raiding team within the gang, instructing them to learn from the Lord of the Blood Tomb.

After all, being a tomb raider is a job that can make you rich overnight. Nie Wan also found some corresponding clues in the book and started training people in related fields a long time ago. Although the tomb raiding group in the gang may never be able to dig up a large tomb like the tomb of General Ming Huan, digging up some small tombs and obtaining some small inheritances is always possible.

Outsiders are ultimately useless, but this time, after being reborn, many details that he had forced out of the Blood Tomb Lord came in handy.

However, the Lord of the Blood Tomb was holding back, and he only skimmed through many specific levels.

Nie Wan thought that since it was impossible to excavate General Ming Huan's tomb again, it was fine to hide the minor details. It wouldn't be good to push the Lord of the Blood Tomb too far. She only needed to know how to avoid and break most of the traps in the tomb.

As a result, she knew exactly how many layers and mechanisms the tomb had, but how to specifically solve the mechanisms required her to explore further based on her existing experience.

This is what the tomb passage looks like right now.

She knew there were at least three layers of traps in this tomb passage. The first layer was the trap she was currently in, which might be a visual trick or an illusion, making the tomb passage appear infinitely long.

When she asked the Lord of the Blood Tomb, she thought it was a phenomenon similar to being lost in a maze, and that she needed to stop, make a mark, and observe more carefully.

The Lord of the Blood Tomb, however, said that was not the case at all.

To break through this mechanism, the only option is to keep running forward.

No matter how tired you are, you can't stop.

Keep running and running until you can run no more, then the mechanism will end.

Nie Wan believed this to be true, so she cast the Shaman's Blessing skill "Mountain Breeze" on herself and Lan Xiangyuan to slow down their stamina loss, and then kept running forward.

They have been running for thirty minutes now, and no matter how much they try to slow down their decline, their physical strength has dropped to a point where they can no longer sustain a long-distance run.

Lan Xiangyuan wanted to stop and catch her breath before continuing to run forward, but Nie Wan grabbed her arm and kept her moving forward, unable to stop.

Lan Xiangyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.

Just when this guy finally stopped teasing her, he started dragging her on a forced march.

Could it be that I'm a masochist at heart, eagerly wanting to be dominated by this guy?

After their stamina dropped to single digits, all their attributes began to decline. The poisonous gas spreading in the tunnel caused the two of them to lose health even faster. Initially, it took five minutes for their health to rise from 50 per second to 1000 per second. During this time, Nie Wan would continuously use the Strengthening and Nourishing Energy technique to ensure that the two of them remained at full health.

Now, almost as soon as I took the Gyokuro Pill to clear the poisoning, blood started gushing from my head again.

-500, -600, -800, -1000

In the blink of an eye, their health dropped to -1000. They could only eat Jade Dew Pills like candy so that Nie Wan could use the Strengthening and Nourishing Essence technique to keep their health from falling below the safety line.

No wonder they said before that you should take Gyokuro pills sparingly.

Lan Xiangyuan was uneasy and anxious because of the rollercoaster-like fluctuations in her health.

In addition, as she kept running, she felt increasingly tightness in her chest and almost couldn't breathe.

Just as the white light in front of her grew increasingly blinding, as if she were about to see her grandmother by the River of Oblivion, her right arm, which was being tightly gripped, suddenly loosened. She swayed and slowly regained her senses.

The tomb passage is still a tomb passage, but it no longer looks like it stretches endlessly. It looks... ordinary now, and you can see the end of it at a glance.

She was panting heavily, and it took her a long time to catch her breath. She looked at Nie Wan, who was also taking deep breaths, but before she could ask any questions, Nie Wan shut her down with a single sentence.

"Isn't he supposed to be a regular at the gym? How come he's so tired after only 40 minutes of running?"

Lan Xiangyuan's lips twitched violently: "You don't have to endure such psychological pressure when running on a treadmill!"

She then regained her seriousness, looked around the tomb passage where the illusions no longer seemed to exist, and asked, "Do we pass this test?"

At the same time, I secretly warned myself that this sadist loves to see her lose her temper, and I absolutely cannot let her succeed. I will not take the bait and let her suffocate!
