Murong Qing nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, each of these symbols is like a trap, a test."
He raised his head, his gaze resolute as he continued, "We must unravel these mysteries to find the 'Dream Key.'"
I looked at Murong Qing, feeling a bit hesitant. "How much time do we have left?"
Murong Qing shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure."
He looked at us with a serious expression and said, "But we must hurry; we can't delay any longer."
After Murong Qing explained, we followed suit and deciphered the symbols on the stone slab.
Each time we cracked a symbol, the maze would tremble slightly.
It felt as if the entire maze was watching us, waiting to see what we would do next.
Once we solved the last symbol, the stone slab slowly sank down.
Then a mysterious passage appeared before us.
We exchanged glances, our eyes filled with determination and a hint of nervousness.
I stepped in first, with Zhao Lan and Murong Qing following behind.
As we approached the object known as the Dream Key, our hearts raced loudly in the quiet passage.
Just as our hands were about to touch the Dream Key, the entire maze suddenly began to shake.
The lines on the walls seemed to come alive, transforming into beams of light that intertwined like a massive web, trapping us.
"Oh no!" Zhao Lan shouted loudly.
We quickly searched for an exit but found ourselves surrounded by the guards of the maze.
Their eyes were fixed on us, their movements frighteningly swift; every step made us feel hopeless about escaping.
"It seems we still couldn't avoid this," a voice came from behind us.
We turned around to see Han Mo smiling at us.
"The power of the Dream Key is not something you rookies can control."
Han Mo walked up to us, speaking in a calm tone.
"If you are willing to follow me, I can guarantee your lives will be safe."
"But as for the Dream Key, don't think you can get it back."
Zhao Lan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing a defiant spirit.
"We will never give up."
"Whether it's the Dream Key or our own beliefs!"
Han Mo looked at us, a hint of admiration in his gaze.
"I truly admire your courage."
"However, having courage doesn't mean you can walk out of this place alive."
"You either follow me or face endless despair."
Zhao Lan snorted coldly.
"We would rather fight to the death than become pawns in your hands."
The smile on Han Mo's face instantly froze.
"Endless despair..."
"This is the reality you will face."
His words gradually faded into the mist.
The air seemed to freeze, and we all felt the tension causing sweat to form in our palms.
At that moment, Murong Qing stepped forward, breaking the suffocating atmosphere.
"Ouyang Jing, I guess you're right here."
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Ouyang Jing's face.
"In that case, let me lend you a hand."
After saying this, a familiar voice came from behind us.
Zhao Lan and I were both stunned.
"Who are you? How did you end up here?"
Both of us asked him together.
Ouyang Jing smiled at us, her smile seemed to hide many things, making it hard to decipher.
"I am Ouyang Jing."
"I have been waiting for you in this maze, waiting for those brave warriors who move forward."
Everyone was stunned.
"So what exactly do you want?"
