"Why haven't you come out yet?" Leng Xiao frowned.

According to their plan, after Liao Er had lured Su Luo and Big Sister Wei in, he would jump out of the maze. He himself had suffered greatly inside, and so he knew very well the horrors of the Maze of Asna Forest.

Liao Er's voice carried with it traces of crying: "Boss…ah ah ah…"

At that moment, Leng Xiao had a very bad premonition. His back stiffened, and he sat upright, his voice cold: "Failed again?!"

His face looked as if it were to explode in the next moment.

His subordinates all stopped working; no one dared to move, hesitantly raising their ears to listen.

"No, no, no!" Liao Er quickly denied it, but then cried pitifully: "Boss, they are in here too, but I have trapped myself in the maze… Please save me!"

Even as Leng Xiao let out a sigh of relief, he wished he could kick Liao Er: "Idiot!"

"Yes, yes, Boss, my lowly self is such a fool, however this fool is now desperate, what should I do…" Liao Er's face was full of tears, why was he so incompetent as to land himself here?

After all, Liao Er worked under him. Leng Xiao knew that if he ignored Liao Er, it would chill the hearts of the others, so he could only frown impatiently: "Okay, okay, wait for me. I'll get you out of there once I get this figured out."

"Thank you Boss, thank you!" Liao Er was so excited; he knew that the boss would never leave him! The Boss was so kind…

"Are you certain Su Luo and the others are in the maze?" Leng Xiao asked with a bit of worry. He couldn't seem to get rid of a bad premonition, as if there was something he was missing here.

"Yes, yes, absolutely! If I lied, I want the Boss to never leave me behind in the Maze of Asna Forest!" Liao Er swore.

"Alright!" Leng Xiao couldn't find anything amiss anywhere, so he grunted, hung up on Liao Er's side, and then ordered the people guarding the other three sides to come back to where he was.

Because Su Luo was right in front of them in the Maze of Asna Forest, there was no need for them to stand guard anywhere else.

Leng Xiao just stood guard at the gate of the maze.

He wasn't really doing anything other than leisurely crossing his legs and staring at the door of the labyrinth triumphantly. There, he sat for an entire two hours.

Suddenly, Leng Xiao's Communication Amulet sounded.

It was Zhao Si.

Leng Xiao had been fantasizing about the kind of misery Su Luo was experiencing, the kind of hunger and the kind of psychological breakdown she would soon be subject to. As he daydreamed happily, he was suddenly interrupted by the Communication Amulet. A frown spread across his face, and he answered it unhappily. Although he accepted the call, his tone was very huffy.

“Speak!" Leng Xiao's voice was full of anger.

Zhao Si's anxious voice came from the Amulet: "Boss, Boss, I just saw that wretched girl Su Luol!"

"Bah." Leng Xiao, unable to hold it in, laughed out loud, and immediately denied: "You saw wrong!"

Su Luo was trapped in the Maze of Asna Forest while Zhao Si was coming from the north; how could he have possibly seen her? Zhao Si was too muddled.

However, Zhao Si said with a firm sense of urgency: "Boss! I'm not lying to you! I really did see Su Luo! She has a very beautiful appearance, there's no way I could've seen wrong! And that person next to her who wears colorful clothes and is stronger than normal men, Big Sister Wei, there's no mistake!"

Leng Xiao frowned and his mouth hung open, suddenly at a loss of what to say.

At this moment, he had a sudden flash of inspiration, and a piece of information that had been long forgotten in the depths of his memory jumped into his mind!

In order to understand Su Luo's strength, he had personally investigated the footage of Su Luo's a.s.sessment during Genius Training Camp. There had been an exam that included a maze. He remembered that Su Luo had escaped from it very quickly… Remembering this, Leng Xiao felt his heart skip a beat. He knew what the problem was!

The Maze of Asna Forest couldn't hamper her at all!

She, perhaps because of some treasure she possessed, had an advantage in understanding mazes, this was the only possibility!

Leng Xiao promptly stood up, his entire body tense, and yelled in anger at Zhao Si: "Quick! Quick! Stop her! You must stop her!"

Su Luo held Leng Xiao's coveted Intelligence Skull in her hands, and he would not allow any more mistakes to happen in this matter! If Su Luo reached the Upstream Mountain, where else would he be able to seize it from her??

Leng Xiao rushed forward as he ordered his men around. It was ruined, all ruined, he hadn't realized that Su Luo, that wretched girl, was immune to mazes!

His subordinates, seeing their boss overcome with anxiety, stood stupefied for a second, as if they had been struck by lightning. Then, coming back to their senses, they hurriedly packed all their belongings and chased after their boss.

At that moment, Leng Xiao's Communication Amulet rang. When he saw that it was Liao Er, anger immediately boiled within his heart.

"Boss, did you figure things out yet?" Liao Er asked weakly. He was afraid that the boss would forget about him because he was busy, so he especially made sure to remind him.

"Don't move an inch! Let me tell you, Su Luo escaped from the maze long ago, while you, idiot, are still circling around in it. I'll remember this grudge, so don't you dare die. When I'm finished, I'll come back and tear your skin off!!!" Leng Xiao yelled, venting at the Communication Amulet.

He was so angry that the overflowing rage he felt inside almost scorched him!

Su Luo had really escaped! Really, already escaped! After hearing Liao Er, that idiot's words however, he had actually just stood guard idiotically at the door of the Maze of Asna Forest, waiting there like a fool! So much time had been wasted!

If it weren't for Liao Er, that fool, he would have already caught up to Su Luo and killed her, and there would have even been enough time to deal with the body!

Leng Xiao roared furiously in his heart, and rushed forward as fast as if he were flying.

The road ahead of him was blocked by the Maze of Asna Forest, so Leng Xiao had to make a detour, and the distance he had to travel was lengthened even further. Also, Su Luo already had an hour's head start. So, if he wanted to catch up to her, it would take a great deal of time.

Leng Xiao also knew that it would be difficult for him to catch up with Su Luo like this, so he pinned all his hopes on Zhao Si: "The three of you, you have to stop that wretched girl! Even if you die doing it, you have to stall for time, understand?!"

Zhao Si nodded excitedly: "Boss, the Ancient Ruins are not too far up ahead. How about we lure that girl Su there?"

"Good!" Leng Xiao agreed excitedly!

The Ancient Ruins ahead appeared very worn over time, and at glance it looked like a place filled with treasures. Many people had traveled there to explore, only to discover that the treasures inside had long been emptied out by others.

If Su Luo pa.s.sed by, she would definitely be intrigued into going in and taking a look. When she entered, the gate would be set off and it would close on her. Ah, wouldn't that wretched girl then be locked in?
