Although Mu Qingwu was an upright person, he wasn't stupid at all.
Even if he really lured the Princess and His Highness to that path, would Bai Yanqing really let them pass and help him detoxify the poison and remove the gunpowder?
That was impossible. Bai Yanqing was definitely a cunning man who'd give up on his lackey.
Moreover, even if Bai Yanqing would save him, he wouldn't harm Han Yunxi and the rest just to save his own life!
"Your Highness, Princess ….."
Mu Qingwu was just about to tell Han Yunxi and the rest that there was an ambush on the right path ahead and they couldn't take it. But who knew that the secret passage at the top of the stone room door would suddenly open and a torch would fly towards Mu Qingwu.
At this moment, Mu Qingwu finally realised that he had fallen into Bai Yanqing's trap! Bai Yanqing actually didn't fully trust him and Bai Yanqing didn't really want to lead the Princess and His Highness to the path ahead.
Bai Yanqing tied the gunpowder to him just to make use of him to lure the Princess and the rest and then detonate it to kill them all!
Damn it!
The torch was thrown fiercely at him. Mu Qingwu was poisoned and didn't have much strength left. He couldn't dodge it even if he wanted to. Although he was lying on his stomach, there was still gunpowder tied to his back!
Mu Qingwu could only shout, "I have gunpowder on me, hurry up and leave! Hurry up and leave! "
Han Yunxi and the rest were shocked. They didn't expect it to be like this!
Seeing that the torch was about to hit Mu Qingwu, Gu Beiyue instantly shifted to his side and caught the torch in time. At this moment, Gu had already rushed up the secret passage at the top of their heads.
Gu Beiyue and Gu's reaction was so fast that it was out of Bai Yanqing's expectations. If they didn't know that there was a secret passage at the top of their heads, how could they have reacted so quickly?
But how could they have known that there was a secret passage at the top of their heads?
Bai Yanqing didn't have time to think too much. If he didn't have any hostages, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of Han Yunxi and the rest. He could only escape and lead Han Yunxi and the rest to another trap.
After Gu caught up, Gu Beiyue threw the torch to one side and immediately caught up. Long Fei Ye wanted to bring Han Yunxi along.
But Han Yunxi still took a pill and threw it at Mu Qingwu. "Antidote!"
She didn't know if Mu Qingwu knew about the Li Clan's annihilation, but based on his honest words, she had to give him the antidote.
If they hadn't run into the maze by chance, they never would've guessed there was a secret passage at the top of the stone room, much less Bai Yanqing's ambush.
If that fire earlier had burnt Mu Qingwu and exploded, in such a secret passage, even if he tried to escape, he would most likely be crushed to death by the huge rock.
That hateful Bai Yanqing, he even used such a method!
Long Fei Ye quickly brought Han Yunxi and caught up with Gu Beiyue and the rest. Mu Qingwu looked at the antidote in his hand and went into a daze. After some time, he finally realised that he had to take the antidote. He didn't think that he would be able to escape this calamity. One must know that he was already prepared to die.
He laid on the ground for some time before he regained his strength. Once he sat up, he hurriedly removed the explosives from his body. He wanted to chase after the Princess and the rest but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't.
Since Bai Yanqing had an immortal body, even if he had the explosives, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him! If he went, he would only add to the trouble.
Helpless, Mu Qingwu could only wait in the same spot.
At this moment, Han Yunxi and the rest were engaged in an intense chase with Bai Yanqing in the secret passage!
This passageway made a turn upwards and went all the way downwards. The further down they went, the narrower it became. Gu Beiyue was still afraid of Bai Yanqing's poison and didn't dare to chase at the front. Han Yunxi was pregnant and was always protected by Long Fei Ye. Hence, they maintained the state of letting Gu chase at the front.
Gu's thorny vines almost touched Bai Yanqing several times but he still thought that he had escaped. The speed of escaping downwards was always faster than the speed of escaping upwards.
Although they couldn't catch Bai Yanqing, they couldn't lose track of him either.
Han Yunxi and the rest knew clearly that this secret passage led to the stone room on the third level of the maze. There was only one door in the stone room and after exiting the door, there was another passageway.
It would be best if they could catch Bai Yanqing in the stone room.
Unfortunately, once Bai Yanqing landed, he immediately injected a needle into the mechanism at the side and activated the mechanism to close the secret passage. Gu kicked open the stone door and saw Bai Yanqing escape from the stone room.
Luckily, there was only one direction outside the stone room.
"Actually, I'll bring you along!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Gu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, rejecting him in his heart. However, Gu Beiyue grabbed his hand and dragged him away.
His speed was like a gust of wind as he chased after Bai Yanqing.
With Gu Beiyue's speed, he quickly caught up with Bai Yanqing. However, Bai Yanqing suddenly scattered a cloud of poisonous powder, forcing Gu Beiyue to retreat. Gu faced the poisonous powder and continued his chase.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye arrived quickly. Han Yunxi dealt with the poisonous powder before they continued their chase.
"Your Highness, Princess, there's a trap in front. It's the abyss of the third level of the maze. It belongs to the metal element." Gu Beiyue said softly.
"Got it." Han Yunxi was alert.
When they caught up with Gu, they saw that Gu and Bai Yanqing were facing each other from afar. Gu's thorny vines had already reached in front of Bai Yanqing, but Bai Yanqing grabbed the vine.
Between them was the location of the Abyssal Trap.
This abyss was different from the first level's abyss of fire. This was not a bright abyss, but a dark abyss.
The activation mechanism was on the wall between Gu and Bai Yanqing. As long as the mechanism was activated, standing at any position in the tunnel would cause one to fall. At the same time, there would be a large rock on the tunnel that would quickly press down, making it impossible to escape and could only fall into the abyss.
Other than the second level of the maze, the remaining five levels of the maze each had an abyss. Some were bright, some were dark, and they belonged to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The abyss of fire was a raging fire. What would the abyss of metal be?
Metal was a weapon. Just like the Metal of Ten Thousand Poisons was a dagger.
Could it be that there were countless weapons under this abyss?
No matter if it was a weapon or not, or what kind of weapon it was, Han Yunxi thought that it would not be a good place. She looked at Bai Yanqing, who was in a deadlock with Gu, and suddenly a plan came to her mind.
When Bai Yanqing saw Han Yunxi and the others coming over, he knew that he could not escape. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the mechanism hidden by the wall and had an idea in his mind.
The activation of this trap was the fastest among all the traps in the maze. As long as the mechanism was activated, the large rock would immediately fall, and the trap under their feet would immediately activate. The speed at which the rock fell was so fast that even Gu Beiyue might not be able to escape.
He wanted to see how many of the four of them could escape!
Bai Yanqing grabbed Gu's thorny vines tightly and was about to pull Gu over when two thorny vines flew out from Gu's other hand. Bai Yanqing pulled out his sword and swung it away.
Gu Beiyue had already been pushed to the back. At this time, he could not be of much help. He might even be poisoned and delay everyone's time.
He stood guard at the side, constantly vigilant of his surroundings.
Long Fei Ye did not dare to put his arm around Han Yunxi's waist and could only put his arm around her shoulders. The two of them were so close that Han Yunxi's poison storage space could help Long Fei Ye block all the poison.
However, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi did not go over to help Gu. Instead, they stood behind him and watched.
If they guessed correctly, Bai Yanqing wanted to take advantage of the abyss trap in front of them.
Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with a trace of craftiness. She shot a hidden needle at Bai Yanqing's hand. Long Fei Ye also attacked Bai Yanqing's hand at the same time. It could not kill Bai Yanqing, but it was enough to make him unable to defend against Gu's thorny vines.
Bai Yanqing looked anxious, but he was actually very calm. He deliberately avoided Long Fei Ye's sword and let the thorny vines wrap around his left hand.
"Haha, let's see if you can be arrogant again!" Gu laughed. He pulled hard and pulled Bai Yanqing a few steps away.
Bai Yanqing gritted his teeth and held on.
His right hand pulled on the thorny vines and pulled Gu a few steps away.
The two of them were very close to the trap hidden in the ground. The two of them were evenly matched and fell into a stalemate.
Han Yunxi suddenly shouted, "Long Fei Ye, let's capture him!"
Although they had not communicated their thoughts, Long Fei Ye could roughly guess what Han Yunxi really wanted to do.
Long Fei Ye used his usual domineering tone and said Cold, "Gu, if you can't do it, then scram to the side."
They did not know if Gu understood what the two of them meant. He smiled Cold, "Long Fei Ye, let's make a bet. I can tie this old fart up like a dumpling in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea!"
With Gu's words, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were relieved. At crucial moments, this guy was still reliable and understood what they meant.
Gu Beiyue, who was watching from the side, had already seen through everything. He glanced at the mechanism on the wall under the moonlight and the corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc.
"Shameless boasting!" Bai Yanqing said angrily.
"Take this!" Gu took out two more thorny vines and attacked Bai Yanqing's legs. Actually, Bai Yanqing could have dodged a kick, but both his legs were tied up.
Once the thorny vines bound Bai Yanqing's legs, Gu immediately retreated and pulled Bai Yanqing over. Bai Yanqing staggered a few steps and stood on top of the trap.
A cold smile flashed past his cold eyes. Of course, he knew that he was standing on top of a trap. However, he did not struggle and allowed the thorny vines to wrap around his body and bind him tightly.
He waited, waiting for Han Yunxi and the rest to walk over.
He hid a golden needle in his mouth. As long as they walked over, he would immediately spit out the golden needle to activate the mechanism. He was willing to accompany Long Fei Ye and the rest to fall into the abyss!
There was a sea of arrows at the bottom of the abyss! Countless arrows were stuck in the ground with the arrowheads pointing upwards. As long as a mortal's body was pressed down by a large rock, it would be pierced by tens of thousands of arrows.
Gu did not pull Bai Yanqing over and turned to look at Long Fei Ye, "Not even the time it takes to brew a cup of tea! I won! "
"Humph, humph, so what if you tied up the Old Man. You can't kill the Old Man!" Bai Yanqing deliberately provoked them.
"Relax, this prince does not want to kill you. This prince will personally properly serve you. "
Long Fei Ye said this and walked forward with Han Yunxi. Step by step, they were just a few steps away from stepping into the trap.
Bai Yanqing was waiting for this moment. He gave a cold laugh in his heart as he looked at Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi. The needle in his mouth was already prepared. But who would have thought that at this time, Gu Beiyue would suddenly throw out a small throwing knife that landed on the mechanism. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi suddenly stopped.
In that instant, a large crack appeared under Bai Yanqing's feet. At the same time, the large rock above them fell down, pressing down on Bai Yanqing as fast as lightning. Long Fei Ye immediately chased after him with Han Yunxi. Gu Beiyue and Gu also chased after him.
The large rock's falling speed was truly shocking. When they chased after him, before they could see what the abyss was like, they heard a large "peng" sound.
