Chapter 1411: Fairy Master (24)

Looking from the outside, the maze forest seemed to be no different from an ordinary forest.

But it was filled with all sorts of magic arrays.

The maze forest had existed for a long time, and was praised as the most difficult magic array to break through in the magic land. There was no way to verify who had left those magic arrays inside it.

However, it wasn’t completely impossible to figure it out. The Sanctuary’s apostles seemed to have maps.

They handed out the maps to the crowd. After entering, they would gather first according to the map and then venture deeper together.

Ming Shu naturally didn’t get one, but Qu Qingge secretly handed her one.

Most of them entered the forest in groups, followed by the members of the Sanctuary.

Ming Shu lagged behind. She remained motionless when the surroundings became empty and quiet.

“Are you not leaving?” Lian Sui pulled his hood and revealed his deer-like eyes. His long eyelashes trembled slightly as he showed a face filled with confusion.

Ming Shu looked at him and smiled. “Let’s go.”

Just as Lian Sui was about to take a step forward, he felt a sudden pull at his waist and his body soared into the air.By the time Lian Sui regained his senses, he was already in the air, surrounded by a misty fog.

When she said “let’s go,” did she mean go from above?

Of course, countless people had tried this method, but nothing could be seen from above except for the white fog.

Ming Shu casually chose a place where the magic fluctuation was slight and landed.

The fog dispersed as they stood in the forest.

The surroundings were covered in withered branches and leaves, without any green in sight.

This was a lifeless forest.

Ming Shu took out the map to find their way. “This way. Do you need me to hold your hand?”

“Yes,” the young man answered without reservation.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves that were soft to step on, and there was faint mist floating in the air. Ming Shu couldn’t travel quickly as she took Lian Sui with her. Even so, the surrounding scenery did not seem to have changed much.

Ming Shu stopped and looked around.

“There seems to be something wrong here.” Lian Sui also noticed the unusualness.It was as if they were walking on the same path constantly and repeatedly.

Ming Shu took out the magic scepter and started a spell. The black, tornado-like magic swept forward aggressively.

The dead branches and leaves on the ground were swept up in the air with slight rustling sounds.

Boom!

The magic seemed to have collided with something, and after the collision, it dispersed into the air.

The surroundings quickly returned to their previous state.

“Tsk.”

It’s pretty dangerous here. 

Ming Shu started a spell again, and the magic pushed forward. Ming Shu heard something shattering, and then the scenery began to change.

It wasn’t withered leaves anymore, but a normal forest.

Did this mean they’d come out of that magic array?

One after another, the magic arrays kept trapping them and Ming Shu didn’t remember how many of them she broke down.Rustle rustle rustle…

The noise came from the bushes off to the side.

Ming Shu looked up and saw Qu Qingge fall out of the bushes.

“Jun Shang!”

Qu Qingge’s expression was delighted. “It’s so great to meet you here. This place is really weird.”

“It’s indeed quite strange,” Ming Shu answered.

At the same time, she waved her magic scepter downward. “What are you doing! I’m Qu Qingge!” Qu Qingge’s expression changed slightly as she shouted.

“Screw you, you’re not Qu Qingge.” Ming Shu hit Qu Qingge in the face with the magic scepter.

Qu Qingge’s expression suddenly became ferocious. Ming Shu’s magic scepter struck again and his smile became even more ferocious.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Then the sinister smile on Qu Qingge’s face turned into a slightly puzzled expression.

Ming Shu was startled and she hurriedly reduced her strength to halt the moving magic scepter.

It was only a centimeter away from Qu Qingge’s forehead.The expression on Qu Qingge’s face froze.

He didn’t seem to understand what was going on.

After a long time, he swallowed and said, “Jun Shang? What are you doing? Did I provoke you? No, wait, how did you just appear from nowhere?”

He didn’t notice her at all. It was as if she had suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ming Shu sized him up and withdrew her magic scepter. “There was something that impersonated you. I was going to kill it, but it changed into you. How interesting.”

“Ah…” Qu Qingge was horrified.

How interesting? 

Didn’t you kill it? 

Qu Qingge asked in a low voice, “What exactly is going on?”

Ming Shu pondered for a moment.

It should be some sort of bewildering magic array; there were two magic arrays that were connected. That’s why the fake Qu Qingge could be seen through by Ming Shu. But the thing should have exposed Qu Qingge to Ming Shu on purpose so that they would kill each other…

How vicious!Qu Qingge swallowed. “After I came in, I was trapped in a magic array. Then just as I got out of it, you popped out…”

“I’ve already passed several array formations, but you’ve only passed one?”

“…” Is she showing off? She definitely is showing off! 

Qian Ye crawled out of Qu Qingge’s sleeve and called His Highness in a low voice. Then, she looked at Qu Qingge.

Ming Shu said, “This place is full of array formations. No matter how hard you try, you just can’t avoid them. When you finally get out of one of them, you don’t know where you are. That map is completely useless.”

Qu Qingge frowned.

The map was given by the Sanctuary. It was said that it was drawn by a sorcerer who once walked out of the maze forest.

“Could it be that the Sanctuary was lying to us?”

“Not necessarily. Perhaps the magic arrays here are mobile.” Ming Shu spread out her hands and smiled. “In that case, no matter how many maps you have, it’s useless.”

Qu Qingge said, “But dark sorcerers can freely enter and exit this place. How can they do that?”

Ming Shu pondered for a moment before replying seriously, “Perhaps they’re just born with unusual power.”

Qu Qingge: “…” Is that the conclusion you reached? 

…

Qu Qingge followed Ming Shu and found out how she broke through the magic arrays. It was simply a violent demolition!

“That’s enough, I don’t want to walk any further. I’m starving to death.” Ming Shu stopped.

Seriously, how big was this maze forest? After having walked for a few days in here, she didn’t meet a single living person apart from Qu Qingge.

She couldn’t find the little naughty, nor dark sorcerers.

It’s just a waste of my physical strength! 

A waste of my snacks!

“This place seems to be quite normal.” Qu Qingge looked around. “I wonder if there will be any food in here.”

“Do you dare to eat the food from this place if there’s any?”

“…” I really don’t dare. 

Ming Shu spread out a flannelette blanket on the ground and took Lian Sui to sit down on it.

She fumbled out some snacks and stuffed some of them into Lian Sui’s hands conveniently.

Qu Qingge: “…”

He looked at his own fairy. Qian Ye sat on his shoulder and was looking at him with her head tilted.

His own fairy was pleasant; it wasn’t difficult to raise her at all.

“It seems to be getting dark.” Qu Qingge looked up at the sky. The misty fog shrouded the air, and it couldn’t be seen clearly, but the light was obviously dim.

Ming Shu followed his line of sight but did not say a word.

Qu Qingge began to assign tasks. “Let’s just stay here tonight. How about I keep watch in the first half of the night, and you in the second half of the night?”

“Cool.”

Qu Qingge then stopped talking. After that, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

The sky grew darker and darker, and the last bit of light disappeared into nothing.

Ming Shu told Lian Sui to change into a small size and let him sleep in her hands.

Qian Ye whispered to Qu Qingge, “She is so kind to His Highness.”

“Am I not kind to you?”

“You are the kindest to me, master.” Qian Ye looked at Qu Qingge fawningly.

Qu Qingge rubbed her small head and said, “Go to sleep too.”
