Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Trouble in the Labyrinth
 

She found the situation amusing, but Gu Ning was still shocked to the core!

According to her plan, cultivating Jiang Xiaobai to get rid of some troubles was enough; she and Baihe would use their powers only when absolutely necessary.

After all, once they decided to intervene, things could easily get out of hand.

Gu Ning knew that Jiang Xiaobai was powerful, but she never expected him to be so strong. It’s true that she didn’t care much about the power of the Metallic Puppet.

But he was not weak by any means.

However, Jiang Xiaobai made it look so easy?

Moreover, it seemed like Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t used his martial skills to the fullest.

In this context, Gu Ning felt more confident in clearing the stage!

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t pay much heed, he knew that Gu Ning and Baihe were full of mysteries, and always on guard against someone.

However, he didn’t miss an opportunity when he spotted one. After all, it was all about money.

There was no guarantee that he would pass the stage, but he was determined to achieve it. After claiming his prize, Jiang Xiaobai continued to wander around the labyrinth with Gu Ning and others.

Three days passed quickly, during which they had plenty of troubles, and faced numerous dangerous situations, but everything was eventually handled without any real risk involved.

A couple of times, the group found themselves returning to their original positions. Without the marking that Jiang Xiaobai had made earlier, they would’ve been stuck in there forever!

Fortunately, everything was moving in a promising direction.

One day, the trio stood at a crossroad, deliberating about the right way to go, when suddenly two people dashed out from the passage on the left.

Both were stained in blood and absolutely exhausted, their bodies giving off a faint aura of spiritual power!

These were the first people they had met since the beginning of the trial. Jiang Xiaobai reckoned that these guys must be geniuses from one of the Middle Three Thousand Worlds.

Looking at their chaotic state, Jiang Xiaobai wondered what had led to such a desperate situation.

They seemed panicked, choosing the nearest path to escape, which was towards the direction where Jiang Xiaobai and his team stood.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai thought they might attack, but they just fled past the trio without sparing them a glance, as if something terrifying was chasing them.

“We’re in trouble,” Gu Ning said with a serious face. “Don’t hesitate, let’s move!”

She grabbed Jiang Xiaobai and rushed forward, followed closely by Baihe. When they crossed the road, Jiang Xiaobai peeked at the direction from which the two were fleeing.

Just then, he broke out in a cold sweat!

He saw dozens of skeletons in armor in the corridor!

The skeletons emitted an aura equivalent to the Late Stage of Fusion, yet they seemed much stronger than the metallic puppet he happened to encounter earlier!

Looking at their jade-like skeletons, it was clear that they were no easy targets.

Moreover, there were dozens of these skeletons rushing towards us at high speed!

“Fuck, what the hell is this?” Jiang Xiaobai was shocked.

“These are the troubles you find in a maze, and also the most difficult ones I have encountered so far. These skeleton warriors never get tired. Once they locate a target, there is no stopping them besides killing them,” Gu Ning said nonchalantly.

No sooner she finished speaking, dozens of skeleton warriors arrived at the junction. They had seen Jiang Xiaobai and his team crossing the road a moment ago.

Immediately, half of the skeleton warriors chased the trio, while the rest followed the blood trail towards the two fugitives.

Looking at the fast-approaching skeleton warriors, Jiang Xiaobai’s scalp tingled. This was by far the most intimidating situation they had encountered in several days!

According to Gu Ning, it seems they could only escape.

However, these skeletons were very fast. Even though they couldn’t catch up with Jiang Xiaobai and his team, they were like a tenacious plaster, sticking right behind them.

What’s worse, they had been running for over an hour without spotting any crossroad at all. They could only turn left or right!

Being chased around like this was highly uncomfortable. Jiang Xiaobai felt like he was about to lash out.

“I can’t stand it anymore!”

Jiang Xiaobai shouted out loud, and then directed a full set of Nine Sky Star Sword Technique towards the back.

Bang!

The might of this sword technique was terrifying. Amidst the stars, the skeletons were hit in an instant.

Clatter! Clatter! Immediately, bones fell all over the ground.

Jiang Xiaobai was shocked for a brief moment; didn’t they seem too weak?

However, the next second, the skeletons reassembled and continued to chase them in absolute silence.

Once he noticed this, Jiang Xiaobai understood perfectly why Gu Ning thought of these skeletons as trouble.

You can’t kill them!

However, he keenly observed the cracks in the bones of some skeleton warriors.

There were also a few guys with some missing bones.

“I guess, unless we can smash all those bones in one go, they won’t stop,” Jiang Xiaobai sighed.

Suddenly, a crossroad appeared before them. Without thinking, Jiang Xiaobai picked the direction closer to the center of the labyrinth.

While making a mark at the crossroad, more people showed up from behind, all at the peak of the Tribulation Passage Stage Transition.

“Run, keep running!”

They kept yelling in desperation, frantically fleeing while occasionally looking back.

Jiang Xiaobai realized that something was chasing them as well, which infuriated him.

Why didn’t they encounter any danger when the three of them passed by, yet whenever they met someone else, danger followed!

Was their luck that bad?

As Jiang Xiaobai was about to complain, one of the people chasing them suddenly attacked him!

Even as he attacked Jiang Xiaobai, the guy continued to shout.

“Cripple these three guys and use them to distract that thing!”

Hearing these words, the remaining people rushed towards Jiang Xiaobai launching their attacks.

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai lost his temper!

Baihe and Gu Ning, for some reason, were unable to fight back. He had to deal with the attackers instead!

“Get lost!”

Jiang Xiaobai roared and unleashed a fierce sword technique, shattering all of their attacks!

Not only that, but two of the weakest individuals also got severely injured, with hideous wounds appearing on their bodies.

One look at Jiang Xiaobai’s power was enough to shock them. They didn’t dare to attack again, but they also didn’t stop running.

As for the two injured individuals, despair and anger filled them.

Soon after, a giant worm, large enough to swamp the entire corridor, appeared behind them!

The worm’s oral tentacles were sharp and hideous, moving at a terrifying pace. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of the two individuals.

Instantly, eight tentacles surged from its mouth, piercing the two individuals. As they twitched, the worm steadily sucked the life out of them.

Watching this scenario made Jiang Xiaobai’s face twitch!

When it rains, it pours!

“What are you waiting for, run!” Gu Ning shouted, and the trio ran as quickly as they could.
