CHAPTER 111 (2/2)

They had been marking their way since they set off. If they were walking in a circle, they would see the marks left behind.

Cao Yan knew this and replied, “Okay.”

He stopped after three steps. There was no need for him to speak as Xie Xi had already seen the marks they left behind. It was really a circle…

It seemed they couldn’t just walk straight through this corner.

Cao Yan asked, “What do we do? If we go in a circle then we can’t leave.”

This situation couldn’t last long. Cao Yan and Zhu Li couldn’t withstand this heat, let alone other people.

Xie Xi frowned and thought about it. “Walk a bit longer. I feel like I heard something before.”

Jiang Xie’s lips curved. He hadn’t said anything because pretending to be deaf had many benefits. His ears were good but it wasn’t worth fighting.

Besides, his hearing wasn’t in line with the restrictions of the open world. If he solved everything, was there any fun in the game?

It was fortunate that Qin Ge and Yan Zhe weren’t here to hear him or they would surely swear at him. ‘What do you know about having fun in the game?’

The other four were confused. “Was there a sound?”

Xie Xi replied, “I’m not sure either but it was like… the crying of a child.”

Zhuo Liu wondered, “A child crying? How can there be a child in this place?”

Cao Yan called out, “Let’s go! If this is a circle, we will definitely pass by it. Boss, listen carefully.”

They really didn’t hear anything. It was probably because Xie Xi’s hearing qualifications were higher.

The reason why Xie Xi didn’t tell them to stop previously was because he wasn’t sure the sound was a clue. It would’ve been good if they could go outside in one trip.

Now it seemed like the path was circular and he had to rethink things.

He was more focused than before. His whole body was red from the fire but his eyes were always calm.

In fact, Xie Xi was very nervous. Everyone had come in this door because of him. If he couldn’t bring them out then…

He couldn’t think about it. They had to leave! Xie Xi listened intently and after 10 minutes of walking, he whispered, “Stop!”

It was here. Previously it was vague but now that he was listening more clearly, it was definitely a child crying.

Xie Xi asked them, “Do you hear it?”

The quarter shook their head. They couldn’t hear anything over the sound of the fire.

Xie Xi listened for a moment and was quite certain. “It is a young child in the 9 o’clock direction.”

The group looked that way and Zhu Li became startled, “Indeed!”

Now that he looked seriously, he actually could see a red baby in the flames.

He floated in the flames but wasn’t burnt. He just cried fiercely and his voice became louder and louder, allowing everyone to hear it.

Zhu Li said, “I’ll go over and take a look.”

Xie Xi grabbed his clothes. “Can you do it?”

“I won’t die.”

“Don’t worry.” Xie Xi suddenly said. “He seems to have discovered us.”

The little baby discovered that someone was watching him. He cried a bit before tilting his head and looking over.

Miraculously, the flames became smaller the moment he stopped crying. It was originally sky high but now it was the height of a bush.

The group’s eyes brightened. “This child is the key!”

Unfortunately, it only lasted a moment. The child started crying again and the flames became bigger than before.

Zhu Li said again, “I’ll go and check the situation.” It would be easy to get out of here if they could keep the child from crying.

However, there was no need to walk over as the child moved towards them while crying.

The baby was white and tender and wasn’t burned by the fire. The tears that he wept dried instantly and only his pitiful voice could be seen.

After approaching, Zhu Li couldn’t help whispering, “Little baby, don’t cry.”

The baby looked at him and cried even more fiercely!

Zhu Li, “…”

Zhuang Yi looked like a woman and should have a higher affinity with the baby. He tried to make his voice gentle, “Little guy…”

There was no need to look. The baby directly howled and the fire grew wilder!

The narrow trails became narrower and several people were afraid to move.

Zhuo Liu didn’t dare go forward.

The baby cried for a while before the sound became smaller and more wronged. “Mummy, Mummy and Daddy doesn’t want me.”

The crowd was stunned. Who were his Mummy and Daddy?

Then a scene occurred that made people even more stunned. Jiang Xie leaned over and hugged the baby. “Okay, don’t cry.”

Unexpectedly, the baby really didn’t cry. He stared at Jiang Xie and murmured, “Daddy…” Then he couldn’t endure it anymore and howled.

This was a terrible situation!

Flames were emitted from the baby and Zhuo Liu and Zhuang Yi quickly hid in case they were burnt!

Miraculously, Jiang Xie wasn’t burned. His handsome features in the fire were particularly dazzling and his gentle voice was heard, “Your mummy is here. He won’t hug you until you stop crying.”

It actually worked! The baby didn’t cry!

The quartet was horrified and wondered, ‘Which bastard did you make this illegitimate child with?’

Then Jiang Xie held out the child towards Xie Xi and said, “Don’t burn your mother.”

Xie Xi, “???”

He took the baby and stared at him.

The baby stared back for a moment before smiling. “Mummy!”

It was so loud that the people outside the door could probably hear it! At the same time, all the flames were extinguished.
