Chapter 172: Venus's Assistance and a New Crisis

Venus laughed and said, "What are you little guys doing in this maze?" His eyes held a mixture of curiosity and affection as he looked at the disheveled yet hopeful faces of the crowd. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, his smile carrying a hint of teasing.

As if seeing a savior, everyone turned to Venus for help. Xu Xian quickly bowed and pleaded, his expression anxious, and said urgently, "Venus, please save us! This maze is so difficult to navigate. We've been wandering around in circles, and we're almost completely disoriented." His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear of the unknown and a longing for a way out.

Venus stroked his beard, his expression calm and composed, and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry, let me help you." As he spoke, he took out a magical artifact emitting a soft glow from his wide sleeves. The artifact, like a dazzling pearl, stood out brilliantly in the dimly lit maze. He chanted incantations, the spell flowing through the air like a mysterious melody. With his chanting, the artifact emitted a bright light, instantly illuminating the entire maze. The traps and intricate paths that had been hidden in the darkness were now clearly revealed to everyone.

“Follow this light, and you will find the exit,” Venus said, his voice steady and powerful, bringing a sense of reassurance to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly followed behind the light. Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian clung tightly to each other, Xu Xian's body trembling slightly as he whispered, "Wife, we'll definitely get out of here this time." His eyes shone with expectation and reliance. Bai Suzhen smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with unwavering hope, comforting him, "Husband, don't be afraid. With Venus's help, everything will be alright."

Xiaoqing and Liu Yu quickened their pace. Liu Yu, panting, exclaimed, "Taibai Jinxing is truly amazing! This magic weapon is incredible. Without him, we don't know how long we would have been trapped here." Xiaoqing snorted and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Of course! How could a deity's magic weapon not be powerful? You coward, your legs must have gone weak just now."

Pigsy and the Broom Star followed. Pigsy, his fat body panting heavily, complained, "This old pig is exhausted! This maze was practically killing me. Finally, we're out. If we'd stayed any longer, my stomach would have been rumbling." The Broom Star sighed and echoed, "Exactly! This maze really wore us out. I don't know which wicked person created this hellhole."

However, things didn't go so smoothly. As they reached a corner, the previously bright and steady light suddenly flickered, becoming dim and discontinuous, like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

"What's going on?" Xu Xian asked in a panic, his voice becoming shrill with fear.

Venus frowned, deep wrinkles appearing on his forehead. He said solemnly, "This is bad. There seems to be a mysterious force interfering with my magic weapon in this maze." He gripped the magic weapon tightly with both hands, trying to increase the intensity of its light.

Just then, the surrounding walls began to move slowly, making a dull grating sound. The passageway grew narrower and narrower, as if trying to squeeze them into the cramped space.

"Everyone be careful!" Bai Suzhen shouted, her voice echoing through the narrow passage.

Everyone stared in terror at their surroundings, their eyes wide with disbelief. Xiaoqing brandished her sword, trying to stop the wall from moving. The sword struck the wall, sending sparks flying, but to no avail.

Liu Yu was sweating profusely, sweat streaming down his face. He shouted, "What are we going to do? Are we going to be trapped here again? We just saw a glimmer of hope, are we going to let it all vanish like this?"

Pigsy cried out in terror, "Oh dear, I don't want to die here! I haven't had enough of all the delicious food in the world yet!" His round face was filled with despair and fear.

The jinx stomped his feet and sighed, "It's all over, it's really all over now. I knew it wouldn't be so easy to get out, I'm so incredibly unlucky!"

Venus, struggling to maintain the light of his magical artifact, said with veins bulging on his forehead, "Don't panic, everyone. There must be a way. As long as we work together, we will definitely find a way out."

Just as everyone was in despair, a dark shadow swept past them swiftly, bringing with it a chilling gust of wind.

"What is that?" Xiaoqing turned around alertly, but saw nothing. Her eyes were filled with doubt and wariness.

Immediately afterwards, a sinister laugh rang out.

"Hahahaha..." The laughter echoed through the maze, like a demon from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Everyone was terrified, cold sweat pouring down their backs. Xu Xian gripped Bai Suzhen's hand tightly, his palms drenched in sweat, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "My wife, what is this? I'm so scared."

Bai Suzhen's expression was grave, her brows furrowed. She said, "I don't know, but this is definitely not a kind person. Everyone, please be careful."

At this moment, the light grew weaker and weaker, and the pressure from the walls intensified.

Can they escape this predicament? What about that dark figure and the sinister laughter? All these unknowns leave a deep sense of suspense for the next chapter.
