Next, the jungle and the guards checked the luggage of everyone placed on one side of the Formation, then entered the Formation to inspect the personal belongings of the crowd.
"You can't take this!" A clear female voice suddenly rang out from within the Formation.
It turned out to be someone who had arrived on the same flight as Zhang Yang—Beauty Shi Qing. The jungle pointed at the pendant hanging around Shi Qing's neck, indicating that she needed to take it off.
It was a very ordinary ring, appearing purple-black from a distance, somewhat resembling a material like bronze. The band was relatively wide and had a certain thickness, more like a small, delicate ring. This ring was threaded through an old Deerskin Rope and hung around Shi Qing's neck.
"What's going on?" He Si Ren stepped forward.
"This is my mother's keepsake. If you insist on taking it, I choose to withdraw!" Shi Qing's eyes seemed a bit red. Kuro Sijin glanced at her and said slowly, "If no one else has an objection, let her keep it for training."
"No objections!" A loud and unified voice suddenly echoed from within the Formation. With over a hundred people present, there were only about ten women, and with Shi Qing claiming it was her Mother's Keepsake, the sympathy generated made everyone speak up in unison.
"Next will be your welcoming ceremony!" He Si Ren stepped out of the Formation and pointed to the tall stands behind the playground, saying, "See those four entrances? Enter through them, pass through the corridor, and you'll reach the restaurant for a buffet from 7 to 8 PM. You can eat freely! It's already a quarter past seven; good luck to you all!"
Everyone looked towards the stands, where indeed there were four small wooden doors. After handing over their personal items, they walked towards the wooden doors in small groups.
Liang Ming approached Zhang Yang and said, "Hey brother, was that 'Black Death' you just pranked? What kind of trick is that?"
Zhang Yang laughed and replied, "Have you seen Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance? He looks like that Azure Dragon or Right White Tiger or Old Cow at his waist; playing with divination sticks and ended up getting killed."
"Divination my ass. I know your Luo Huasheng; Mr. Luo is definitely a legendary figure. You didn't learn any sorcery from him, did you?" Liang Ming asked.
"Damn it, I've never even met him..." Before Zhang Yang could finish his sentence, Liang Ming suddenly shouted:
"Shit, a maze!"
After entering through the small door of the stands, they found themselves in a maze built of smooth concrete walls! The concrete walls were about five meters high, with passages over a meter wide leading into various forks. "Dinner is only until 8 PM; letting us in at a quarter past seven means if we take too long to get out, we'll go hungry!" Liang Ming said.
"I doubt he's telling the truth; let's walk around and see," Zhang Yang suggested. Over a hundred people surged in from the four entrances and quickly dispersed. The maze was quite large.
The design of the maze was very complex. Zhang Yang and Liang Ming walked together for about five minutes before stopping in a secluded area. "This maze has only one exit and is a looping maze; that means to get out, we have to retrace our steps. Even if we had seen a map beforehand, it wouldn't be easy to find our way out," Zhang Yang pondered for a moment before speaking.
"He Si Ren, really trying to kill us," Liang Ming said.
"While it's not completely dark yet, let's hurry. Are you afraid of heights?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Afraid of a slingshot? I'm Air Force," Liang Ming replied. "Alright, I'll lift you up first," Zhang Yang said, then lifted Liang Ming under his arms. "Are you ready?"
After receiving a positive response from Liang Ming, Zhang Yang exerted force and pushed Liang Ming up. "Buddy, you're so strong!" Liang Ming thought he could grab onto the wall with one push, but unexpectedly, the wind rushed past him, and the wall was already beneath his feet. Fortunately, the wall was over 20 centimeters thick, providing a place to land.
"Not bad, mainly because you're not heavy."
Just as Liang Ming steadied himself, he heard Zhang Yang's voice beside him, startling him. "What the hell, did you jump up here?"
"Yeah, I used your strength to get up," Zhang Yang replied in a low voice.
"Oh man, you lifted me up and still managed to jump? Stop messing with me," Liang Ming said. Suddenly, he noticed that Zhang Yang was no longer beside him and looked up to see Zhang Yang had already dashed ahead.
Standing on the wall, he finally saw the full layout of the maze. It roughly took an oval shape, with the narrowest point having a diameter of at least one kilometer.
Zhang Yang stood on the edge of the wall and quickly moved forward until he reached the edge of the maze's exit. He then realized that the exit was only a little over a meter wide but faced a large pool measuring ten meters on each side. This meant that if they wanted to find the exit normally, they would have to get wet.
Zhang Yang gently landed at the edge of the pool. At this moment, Liang Ming was still moving along the top of the maze wall. True to his Air Force background, he had great balance and moved relatively quickly. He jumped over a meter while bouncing on the wall without much effort.
Zhang Yang's speed was fast enough that he passed by without anyone noticing. However, many people inside the maze saw Liang Ming bouncing on top of the wall and began to discuss below:
"Why didn't I think of that?"
"What good would it do if you did? That wall must be five meters high and slippery; I have no idea how they got up there."
"You two throw me up; I can grab onto the wall without any problem."
"If we throw you, who will throw us?"
"Idiot! I'll direct from above while you two walk below; it's the same way out."
"Wow, look at that Buddy..."
As he spoke, Qi Shen stepped back between the two walls, quickly ran and leaped up, pushing off with his right foot against one wall to gain momentum. Then, he kicked off the other wall with his left foot, spreading his arms to support himself against the walls. The upward momentum did not stop; using both hands and feet, he quickly reached the top of the wall. He retracted one side's hands and feet swiftly, gripping the edge of the wall with both hands.
Next, Qi Shen exerted force with both hands in a move similar to a side flip, pressing his feet down on the edge of the wall. With a downward push of his hands while rotating, he stood atop the wall. From the run-up to stabilizing himself, the entire motion was seamless—fast and graceful, like a hawk spreading its wings.
At this moment, Zhang Yang had already circled around the pool, and in front of the pool was a corridor leading directly to several buildings ahead.
"Wait for me!" Liang Ming shouted from the top of the wall. He then jumped down to the edge of the pool, landing and immediately rolling forward. After quickly getting back on his feet, he hurried over to Zhang Yang's side.
"How was that? The forward roll was pretty cool, right? You should see me parachuting; that's a masterpiece in the wind!" After escaping the maze and suddenly relaxing, Liang Ming, ever the chatterbox, began again.
"Pretty cool indeed, like a Mountain Dragon!" Zhang Yang laughed while looking at the several buildings ahead from a distance.
"That's... your sister! You're the one who looks like a pangolin; I'm doing standard moves from Violent District." Liang Ming reacted quickly, knowing that some places refer to pangolins as Mountain Dragons.
Before Liang Ming could finish his sentence, they suddenly heard a splash behind them as a wet head popped out of the pool.
