Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: Find the Pattern

Su Hui was getting anxious, "What should we do? Everyone’s scattered. Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin are missing, and there’s also Irina."

This question stumped Gu Fan, who was also very worried about everyone’s safety, "I speculate that the ground here judges whether someone has entered based on the pressure exerted on the surface. Once someone steps in this area, the pressure from their footsteps will activate the mechanism here."

Lin Xi understood, "Which means, only if everyone stays put can the mechanism stop, preventing this place from moving."

Zhuo Hang shook his head, "If that’s really the case, then we’re even more helpless. If we don’t move, how can we fly out?"

Yes, indeed, it’s difficult. If we keep walking, the mechanisms get activated and everyone gets trapped here. If we don’t move, the mechanisms stop, but we’re still trapped here. Even if everyone could climb to the treetops, not everyone can run effortlessly on the trees relying on martial arts like Gu Fan and Su Hui.

While a few people were racking their brains for solutions, Su Hui slightly smiled, "I have an idea, but it might not work, and even if it does, it would take a lot of time—I’m afraid by then our food would no longer suffice."

"Sister Su, stop teasing, let’s resolve the current predicament first," everyone looked at Su Hui with hopeful eyes. Pretending to be mysterious and keeping everyone in suspense, she then revealed her plan.

"First, we need to figure out which direction we need to go. Next, we head towards the very center of this circular area, that is, the center of the circle." Just as Su Hui finished speaking, Gu Fan’s eyes lit up, unable to refrain from praising, "Sister Su, I understand your plan!"

An hour later, Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin, completely clueless about the direction, were almost exhausted. The more they walked, the more lost they felt and had no choice but to give up.

Gu Fan took a sip of water, then gave a wry smile and shook his head, "This time you can’t blame me, doomsayer."

To this, Ouyang Jin also responded with a wry smile, "I was actually hoping for your doomsayer trait, because every time you’ve played the doomsayer, we eventually managed to turn danger into safety."

"Is that so? Each time I play the doomsayer, I just bring trouble to everyone, but isn’t everyone alive and well? Why blame me for what..." Lu Yi suddenly thought of a crucial point and got excited, "Let me try once, let me play the doomsayer once, let us fall into dire straits and then escape from death."

Hearing this, Ouyang Jin became anxious and hurriedly covered Lu Yi’s mouth, "Dude, I beg you, don’t talk anymore. I’m really feeling down, please don’t torment me anymore."

"Oh come on, weren’t you serious just now?" Lu Yi protested. Just as the two were tussling, suddenly a tree moved in front of them, leaving them both dumbfounded.

On the trunk of this tree were several large characters: "I am the tree of the third ring, after you jump over, follow the arrows to the tree of the fourth ring, Gu Fan."

"Damn, it’s Gu Fan, he must have thought of a way to help everyone get out of here." Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin immediately perked up, hurriedly jumped onto the tree claimed to be the third ring, and following the direction of the arrows, they stared ahead, patiently waiting.

Soon after, a tree claimed to be the fourth ring appeared, beckoning them to jump over, instantly causing Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin to cheer endlessly, "Gu Fan, Sister Su, we love you guys!"

Just like that, Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin hopped from one ring to another, gradually understanding the true nature of this moving maze; it was just a conveyor belt inside another conveyor belt, simply moving in a circular manner.

The only problem was the final thirty-sixth conveyor belt, which was also the edge of the moving maze. When Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin arrived, they didn’t proceed further because there was a tree on the thirty-sixth conveyor belt that read, "I am the final ring, stay put and wait for me."

Seeing this sentence, Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin knew they were stable, so they calmly waited on.

About an hour later, just as Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin were about to doze off, they heard a familiar voice, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and jump over."

"My God!" Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin immediately woke up, and on taking a closer look, they indeed saw Gu Fan, Lin Xi, Su Hui, many mercenaries, and even Irina and General Horton at the edge ahead.

Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin hurried over and leapt out of the thirty-sixth ring, running straight towards Gu Fan’s group, joyfully bumping into the crowd.

"Haha, buddy, I knew you’d have a way," Lu Yi couldn’t help but embrace Gu Fan, refusing to let go as if his life depended on it.

Gu Fan really couldn’t stand it, quickly pushed Lu Yi away, and explained, "This was Sister Su’s idea, not mine. If you’re not afraid of getting beaten, go hug Sister Su."

"No need for him to hug me. I’m going to hit him anyway; he stepped on me when he landed." Su Hui said as she swung her fist, looking fiercely vengeful.

Lu Yi quickly made a gesture of gratitude, "So it was Sister Su, thankfully you were here, otherwise, we really couldn’t have made it out. Meeting you has been the most correct friendship of my life."

"Alright, enough talk, let’s hurry up and go," Gu Fan got up and dusted himself off. They were now standing in a spot that had escaped from the maze and was static, also a suitable place to set off again.

Once Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin followed the instructions to the final ring, with its rotation, it eventually brought them to where Gu Fan was.

Of course, many people had not yet arrived; Gu Fan suggested leaving some people behind to wait and others to go find something to eat and drink, as they had been delayed in the moving maze for too long. Moreover, considering the trend, by the time everyone regrouped, the food and water might already be exhausted.

General Horton wanted to say something, but then he heard around him a unanimous voice of agreement, even some people were willing to follow Gu Fan to find food and drink. Everyone had completely taken Gu Fan as their leader.

This scene made General Horton very uncomfortable, and he silently gritted his teeth, "What nonsense, if I also had the ability to jump to the treetops and deduce the situation of this moving maze, then I too could have thought of such a solution."

General Horton watched as many people followed Gu Fan, the entourage both in front and behind, almost wanting to lift Gu Fan up in praise. Horton took a deep breath slowly, trying to calm his agitated mood.

Taking advantage of everyone’s lack of attention, Horton silently took out a bottle of blue liquid, which a mysterious masked person had given him, one not to be used lightly except in dire need. General Horton thought that if he wanted to regain his prestige, he could only rely on this now.
