Chapter 36

Rumbles that sounded like thunder kept ringing. The cave shook, and at the same time, there was the sound of objects falling.

A huge shaking came from the maze cave one after another, accompanied by the sharp roars of monsters. It made one’s scalp tingle.

With a clatter, the last table shattered. The staff was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.

Xiao Shui and the others, who had been waiting at the entrance of the lair, were not any better.

The huge tremor caused the eaves to crack, and a sharp wooden block suddenly fell towards Xiao Shui.

The security guard’s pupils shrank as he quickly pounced on Xiao Shui.

“Young Master, be careful!”

With a bang, the huge dust cloud dispersed, making one cough uncontrollably.

After the smoke dissipated, Xiao Shui hurriedly reached out and pushed away the security guard on him. He immediately jumped up and muttered,

“What’s going on? Could there be a huge riot in the maze lair? Why did it suddenly cause such a huge commotion?”

Not to mention him complaining, the others were not any better.

It had been almost half a day since Su Meng and the others entered. Every now and then, there would be a burst of commotion.

“Do you think it will be like the last time when Yan Xie and Miss Leng Yue dealt with the monsters?”

“The maze is not comparable to the previous low-level lair. Those two beauties are indeed strong, but that doesn’t mean they can cause such a huge commotion in the maze.”

“That’s right. Besides, that was just a level 23 blacksmith. With this tremor just now, whether this kid can survive or not is another matter.”

“That’s right. Miss Xiao has already reminded him nicely. That kid is still so arrogant. He’s probably smashed to death in the maze lair now.”

“It must be. This is the time when the demonic creatures in the maze lair go berserk. If this person can still come out, I’ll cut my head off and use it as a stool for you.”

“Ahem, there’s no need to be so bloody. However, with the commotion just now, it’s not certain if the people inside are alive or dead.”

Hearing this, Xie Qing echoed.

“Hmph, it would be best that the good-for-nothing Su Meng die inside.”

Originally, he had no impression of Su Meng at all, but after what had happened previously, he immediately did not have a good impression of this person.

In particular, the disturbing actions of the two women made Xie Qing want to kill Su Meng. Not only him, but the descendants of the aristocratic families beside him also looked relieved.

“The commotion in the maze has already spread outside. It seems that the battle inside is especially intense. I’m afraid Su Meng won’t be as lucky this time.”

“Hmph, if he could come out, he would have come out long ago. We wouldn’t be without news for half a day.”

“That’s right. However, this kid is too arrogant. We kindly advised him not to do anything. There is nothing we can do if he has a death wish.”

“I heard that monsters in high-level lairs will go berserk at a fixed time and their levels will increase by five levels.”

“It’s more than five levels. Back then, the Wang family also entered the maze when it was in a berserk mode. There were hundreds of them, but not a single one came out.”

“Now that you mention it, I remember. This was big news in Dragon City back then.”

“The copy of this maze is precisely because of this rule. No one has been able to completely come out of it for so many years.”

“If I remember correctly, that genius of the Han family died in the maze.”

“We told him to go in with the Han family from the beginning, but he deliberately brought a group of people in. No one can blame us for what happened.”

“You overestimate yourself and want to go in. It’s none of our business.”

“It’s already kind of us to remind him.”

Although they were only whispering, the voices still reached Xiao Yan’er’s ears clearly, especially the voice of her brother, Xiao Shui.

Xiao Yan’er reached out and pulled Xiao Shui’s sleeve.

“Shut up!”

Before Xiao Shui could speak, Xiao Yan’er glared at him coldly, instantly scaring him into swallowing his words.

“Sister, I…”

“What about you? No matter what, Su Meng is your classmate. It’s not for a descendant of an aristocratic family to speak ill of others behind their backs.”

“I’m not wrong either. There’s been no news all day. It was ominous to begin with.”

“How dare you say that?”

Xiao Yan’er shouted angrily, scaring Xiao Shui so much that he hurriedly shut his mouth. He even made a zipper gesture.

Not to mention that Xiao Shui and the others thought that Su Meng was in trouble, even Xiao Yan’er’s thoughts were not any better. The only difference was that she wanted to save Su Meng.

Night slowly fell, and the light became dimmer. The bushes in the distance swayed crazily in the night wind, making a series of whistling sounds. From afar, it looked like a crazy and ferocious beast, making one’s heart skip a beat.

Thinking of the monster’s berserk mode in the maze, Xiao Yan’er was so worried that her heart was almost in her throat.

Although she had only seen Su Meng a few times, she was very curious about this mysterious man.

At the thought that Su Meng might die, Xiao Yan’er immediately felt her heart ache.

The always calm Xiao Yan’er’s eyes were filled with panic at this moment. She quickly thought about it, trying to find a way to save Su Meng.

Suddenly, a Will-O-Wisp flashed across her mind.

Right on the heels of that, Xiao Yan’er suddenly looked at the man who had sent the message at the beginning and asked nervously,

“When will the big shot of the Han family come”?

The man was stunned for two seconds, but he still answered honestly.

“Don’t worry. It should be soon. They won’t miss this exploration of the Maze lair.”

Xiao Yan’er did not speak. Her clenched fists were cold, and her palms kept breaking out in cold sweat.

As if sensing Xiao Yan’er’s urgency, the messenger spoke again.

“Don’t be anxious. They’re probably arriving soon. The Han family especially wanted to enter the maze at night.”

Before Xiao Yan’er could speak, the disciples of the other aristocratic families around him immediately looked puzzled. Some of them could not help but ask.

“What’s going on? Didn’t they say that the monsters in the maze would go berserk at night? Why did the Han family specially choose night time?”

As soon as they said this, the experienced man immediately sneered, instantly displeasing this group of young masters.

“What do you mean?”

The other party spread his hands.

“Nothing? I can tell that you’re chicks. That’s right, the little monsters do go berserk at night, but it’s better than the boss going berserk, right?”

As soon as he said this, the arrogant descendants of the aristocratic families instantly fell silent.

In an instant, the entire space fell into a strange silence. It was so quiet that only the whistling of the bushes in the distance could be heard.
