Chapter 328: Am I Pretty? (1/2)

The quicksands were open and thus after Alex came out of the other side, he stood up and finally saw how long the width of the maze actually was.

'That's almost 500 meters long,' he thought as he looked from left to right.

Just as he was looking at the length, he saw a person accidentally hit one of the strings above the quicksand.

TIRRRRING

Suddenly, mud from either side of him flew up and fell on top of him, dragging him to the surface. The man got stuck, but he was able to think quickly and started using some technique to pump out water from all around him, very soon the quicksand diluted into nothing but a mud lake around him and he started flying once more.

Somewhere else, a disciple created a bridge made up of rocks and walked on top of it. Some other person made a bridge with vines and leaves.

Yang Ma burned the quicksand until it was hard enough to walk.

People came up with their own methods to cross, but most of them simply chose to fly. It had its risks but was the easiest of all.

After each of the participants crossed, the staff came down to reset the ground so that the next one would have to make way using their own idea.

Alex looked at the nearly hundreds of openings in the tall bushy walls. These ones were a little thicker than the ones he walked through last time.

He couldn't waste time here so he randomly chose one and walked in. Thankfully, there were no more vines blocking his path here. He kept on walking through the maze, reaching dead ends multiple times.

He had his senses on max right now and was even going as far as to release his spiritual sense in a very small area. Just as he was walking, he heard a sound.

PING

Someone just had their talisman stolen. Alex walked a little forward and saw a girl in an orange robe picking a talisman that fell off of the back of a person in red robes.

Alex walked a little forward to see that the person in red robes was on the ground.

'Did she force him there? How is she not disqualified yet?' he wondered. He couldn't make heads or tails of the situation.

”Move back,” the lady said and the man in the red robe stood up a little before moving to the right. They seemed to be in cahoots or something and didn't want to get disqualified.

Alex didn't know if the two of them would gang up on him to steal his talisman or what, so he moved slowly and cautiously. He also kept an eye on his back at all times. He did not want a repeat of the previous times.

Ping

The girl touched the man's talisman once more, making it fall off. Now the man only had a single one remaining.

Alex didn't know what was happening, but he wasn't going to waste time here. She has just used her Red talisman and it was going to be in cooldown for a minute.

He immediately disappeared when he got close to 10 meters and touched the girl's talisman

Ping

Alex immediately caught it and moved back. The girl was surprised and looked back as well.

She finally realized that her talisman had been stolen as well. ”How did you get so close without me noticing?” She asked with curiosity in her eyes. But after seeing Alex not answer at all, her curiosity died.
