Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng were drenched from head to toe. Zhou Sheng was half naked, and water trickled down his lean muscles, while Yu Hao's shirt was plastered onto his body, revealing its contours. Zhou Sheng grabbed Yu Hao's hand tightly. When they couldn't walk any further at the gap between two walls, Zhou Sheng held Yu Hao, shook his jingubang, and leaped onto another wall as if he was pole vaulting.

Another light flashed — it was Chen Yekai's gun. Continuous gunfire could be heard at the end of the corner, sounding like he was engaged in a battle. Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng immediately picked up their pace.

In a maze corridor that led to the end of the black fog, Chen Yekai and Huang Ting wielded a gun each. A roaring monster appeared from within the fog, and there were mechanisms all around them. Chen Yekai shouted, "Where did these mechanisms come from?! Can you get rid of them?"

Huang Ting placed one arm on Chen Yekai's shoulder and answered, "I don't know! This is how my dream is like! I..."

"Careful!" Chen Yekai pressed down on Huang Ting and rolled to a corner; several flywheels shot out of the wall opposite that brushed past the top of their heads. The flywheels flew across the corridor and instantly cut the rotten monsters behind them into two. Black blood splattered everywhere before turning into smoke that dispersed as it vanished.

"Run!" Chen Yekai kept gasping and pulled Huang Ting up again. He half carried and half hugged him as they staggered away in their escape.

Huang Ting's left leg was already fractured and was being dragged in a strange position. He looked back at the black fog that was closing in on them, and the vague outline of an even more powerful monster could be seen looming in the it.

"What would happen to us if we get caught?" Huang Ting asked.

Chen Yekai said, "We'll fall into the subconscious and lose all consciousness."

Huang Ting shook his head slowly, "You guys really shouldn't have come to save me."

The black fog closed in once again, and it would soon swallow up the two men. A mad roar rang out from the fog, and dozens of shadows instantly shot out like a flurry of arrows.

"How could we not save you?!" Zhou Sheng's voice burst out overhead like a thunderclap, and before anyone could register it, he and Yu Hao descended from the sky!

Yu Hao shouted, "Get out of the way!" Chen Yekai and Huang Ting dodged, Zhou Sheng swung his rod around, looking as if he was dancing, and instantly sent the monsters in the fog flying everywhere in the sky. Yu Hao assumed a sideways stance while wielding his staff, and a resplendent, intense light burst forth from the head of his staff.

Within a split second, the intense light materialized and shone through the fog. The black fog surged once again and kept retreating under this dazzling moonlight. A colossal being let out a low growl within the fog and dodged in panic, retreating toward the periphery of the maze.

"You're so much thinner now." Chen Yekai said as he carried Huang Ting.

"I always feel like I became this thin because of my illness in reality," Huang Ting said, "So even my impression of myself grew weaker too, but it's actually not that exaggerated."

Zhou Sheng led the way while Yu Hao supported the rear. Chen Yekai was in the middle with Huang Ting on his back. Yu Hao heard Chen Yekai say,

"What're you so stubborn about? Can't you dwell less on it?"

"When you encountered your problem, you were as stubborn as I am." Huang Ting answered, "So don't laugh at the one who retreated a hundred steps when you took fifty steps back yourself."
