Chapter 601: Chapter 601: The True Reason

At the end of the path, there was indeed a door.

But this was a door embedded in the wall!

After opening it, there was just a wall. Such a situation truly dumbfounded everyone.

No one dared to believe that this was the actual situation!

Were we all played?

“You damn Jiang Xiaobai, are you trying to kill us? Is this the exit you’ve been talking about?”

“Is this wall the ‘exit’?”

Su Tian immediately started berating Jiang Xiaobai.

However, he was the only one voicing his frustrations. The rest remained silent because they would have chosen this path even if Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t disclosed it earlier.

The result would still have been the same.

But Su Tian was trying to blame everything on Jiang Xiaobai.

On the other hand, Jiang Xiaobai, after encountering such a situation, was shocked for a while, but quickly regained his composure.

He knew things weren’t going to be easy. As such, the only possible exit would have to be on the other end.

But at the other end…

Thinking back to when he first arrived at this tunnel and his experience of palpitations, he felt his scalp tingle.

If this side is already so complicated, how dangerous would the real exit be?

However, the only good news probably is that Baihe has taken action before, proving his strength. Everyone could simply charge through it directly.

But the next second, Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

Because Baihe suddenly spoke, “We are screwed now.”

“The journey ahead might not be so easy.”

“What do you mean?” Su Tian shouted in anger, “What, you want to slack off now?”

“We’ve helped you guys out and braved many dangers together. It’s about time you guys step up, right?”

No sooner had he finished speaking, than Qiongyu reprimanded him.

“Shut up!”

Su Tian looked bewildered, not sure of what just happened. But he noticed that everyone’s expressions were quite somber.

Especially Baihe and Gu Ning, their faces turned exceptionally grim.

“Master, what’s going on?” Jiang Xiaobai whispered.

Gu Ning just shook his head, his expression helpless and serious.

“There’s nothing to hide at this point. We’re both in a special situation, considered as cheaters here.”

“Once we attack, the Underworld Trial will detect it. Although it may not seem troublesome right now, the dangers we’ll face later will be terrifying!”

“So terrifying that perhaps even the two of us might not be a match.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

Jiang Xiaobai was beyond shocked, utterly dumbfounded, with his mouth agape.

He never imagined that the situation would be like this!

No wonder Baihe and Gu Ning didn’t take action after entering. It turns out that once they do, the difficulty of the trial would skyrocket because of their special circumstances!

He now understood why the two insisted on taking him along and even kept nurturing him before entering the Underworld Trial, pushing him to increase his strength.

Everything was because of this reason!

No wonder that despite their powerful abilities, they haven’t been able to pass the Underworld Trial for tens of thousands of years!

But why would that be?

Aren’t their realms at the Great Achievement Peak?

“I know it may be hard for you to understand, but we can’t explain this situation in a short time. We should press on.”

Gu Ning shook his head and said, “Unless we encounter a danger we can’t handle, we won’t take action anymore.”

“Every action we take will make the trial even harder…”

As he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. No one uttered a word.

They all knew the situation was going to get worse, but they didn’t know just how much worse it could get.

Just how exaggerated will the dangers ahead be?

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Qiongyu. He felt that she should know something. Because the moment Baihe finished speaking, her face turned extremely serious.

The situation became baffling again!

Jiang Xiaobai only felt a headache. Knowing too much wasn’t a good thing, but knowing too little would drive one mad.

This was truly torturous.

In the end, after a short rest to replenish their spiritual power, they began to rush towards the other end.

Since they had already encountered almost all the dangers on the way here, the return journey wasn’t troublesome at all.

After spending three days, they finally returned to the place where Jiang Xiaobai and his team had fallen.

From this point onwards, everything would be unknown for everyone.

Standing here again, looking at the endless tunnel ahead, Jiang Xiaobai felt his heart palpitate even more.

It was as if there wasn’t an exit ahead, rather, it was a gaping abyss, waiting for him to walk into its jaws.

It was waiting for him to enter the tiger’s den and then chew him into bits.

“Let’s go. Don’t just stand there.”

Qiongyu suddenly whispered and led the team to move forward.

The journey ahead was indeed full of dangers, and the difficulty had practically doubled!

Traps, beasts, poisonous insects, puppets, strange creatures!

So many, so many!

The strength was beyond what Jiang Xiaobai and his team could imagine. Especially when Baihe took action, the Underworld Trial detected the anomaly and raised the overall difficulty of the trial!

Initially, apart from the giant spider, whether it was a beast or a puppet, all were from the Late-Stage Merge Realm.

But now, even beasts at the Late-Stage Fusion Peak Realm and even the initial and middle phases of Crossing Tribulation had appeared!

The difficulty had skyrocketed, and everyone had a hard time pulling through. A large number of people also ended up losing their lives!

After five days, everyone except Gu Ning and Baihe was injured!

Jiang Xiaobai was the most seriously injured because, hell, whenever there was danger, it was always directed at him!

It was a miracle that he was still alive!

Boom!

After tossing a beast that looked like a tiger with wings onto the ground, everyone collapsed and sat on the ground, exhausted.

Even Su Tian, who had been causing problems for Jiang Xiaobai, was silent, his eyes filled with numbness.

Too many elven geniuses had died. Now, excluding Qiongyu, only seven were left from the elves!

And the troubles they encountered were too dangerous. It was no wonder everyone was numb!

No one thought they could leave here alive.

Looking at the endless straight tunnel, a sense of despair began to fill their hearts.

However, after going through these few days, the relationship between Jiang Xiaobai and Qiongyu seemed to be progressing nicely, and they even had a strong sense of cooperation!

This led to Jiang Xiaobai and Qiongyu forming one group and the other people forming another group down the line. They joined forces to confront all dangers together.

Sitting beside Jiang Xiaobai, Qiongyu remained indifferent, as if the current situation meant nothing to her.

Jiang Xiaobai initially thought this woman was an emotionless killing machine, but then Qiongyu suddenly spoke.

“Do you think we can leave here alive?”
