The Yi Family Ancestor seemingly agrees to an alliance with the Nanyuan Family, pledging to handle the Water Poison deployment and take the blame. However, the Nanyuan Ancestor suspects betrayal, calling him an "old fox." Meanwhile, the Yi Family Head learns their stolen antidote is actually poison. The Yi Ancestor reveals his true plan: to gain Nanyuan's trust before joining forces with the Shu and Lu Families to destroy them. He dispatches people to seek cooperation with Shu and Lu, but they have both gone into seclusion to recover. The Yi Ancestor fears they have left the city to seek out the outsiders, Ding Hui and Fang Yu. The Shu and Lu Ancestors, also desperate, track the outsiders to a blood land, only to find them gone. They are then trapped in an Illusion Fox Demon's maze.

Fortunately, Ding Hui’s ’Storage Bag’ was still with her.

Only to see Ding Hui dig up some soil and feed it to the meat lump.

The meat lump was already full, and now even eating soil was a struggle, absorbing it extremely slowly.

While Ding Hui was digging, Fang Yu stood up to investigate the surroundings.

Luckily, there didn’t seem to be any demons around where Ding Hui had fallen, so it was relatively safe.

But Fang Yu didn’t understand what exactly the Illusion Fox Demon intended.

What was the purpose of dragging so many demons, including humans like them, into the maze?

And last time, in the Illusion Fox Demon’s illusion, the attack value for both sides was just 777, so what was with the direct appearance of a maze this time?

Is the maze real, or is it still within the Illusion Fox Demon’s realm?

If the maze isn’t real, what is it that they’re experiencing now? Are they in a coma?

If he exits the game world now and re-enters it, what will happen?

Will he wake up from the coma or still be in the maze?

If the maze is the Illusion Fox Demon’s ability, then it’s a demonic bloodline gifted power—can he use the Believer’s power to cause a flaw, breaking through the maze’s confinement?

Various thoughts floated through his mind.

Just then, Fang Yu suddenly felt like the sky had darkened.

Fang Yu looked up.

Above the maze, he saw a black sphere rapidly expanding.

The shadow just now was caused by the black sphere expanding and blocking part of the light.

Fang Yu stared at the black sphere in confusion and saw a number appear on it after it stopped expanding.

"0."

Ding Hui’s voice rang in Fang Yu’s mind.

Fang Yu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye: "Not researching the wall soil anymore?"

Ding Hui ignored Fang Yu and continued: "No matter what this fox demon plans to do, now is when it really begins."

A flicker went through Fang Yu’s mind.

Ding Hui’s guess seemed plausible.

An inexplicable sense of crisis rose in Fang Yu’s heart.

Previously, some great demons also fell into the maze, and although crashing sounds occasionally echoed around them, the sound didn’t carry far. Additionally, as the walls automatically repaired more often, they’d become increasingly sturdy, which was why Ding Hui was so interested in the wall soil.

"Shall I climb up to look around?"

Fang Yu suggested.

Initially, the maze walls were only a few meters high, but they now reached a kilometer and continued to rise.

Maybe initially some demons could climb up and discern the maze’s direction.

As of now, fewer demons had the ability to climb and trample the maze’s towering walls.

Leaping to the top of the maze walls certainly offered a broad view of everything below but also made individuals an easy target for formidable demons; standing atop a wall was quite conspicuous.

Especially since there seemed to be no humans here besides the two of them—only demons!

It was akin to a lamb walking into a pack of wolves; if those demons saw Fang Yu appearing, they’d probably charge at him drooling.

So, this action carried some risks.

However, the appearance of the black sphere indicated a change; doing nothing might lead to poor decisions due to lack of information.

After contemplating for a while, Ding Hui agreed with Fang Yu’s proposal.

"Be careful, dear."

"Don’t worry."

The Bone Powder in his feet quivered, extending Bone Nails that embedded into the wall like nails. Fang Yu climbed up the high wall at a ninety-degree angle with agile ease.

Before long, he reached the top of the high wall.

"Screech!!!"

No sooner had Fang Yu appeared atop the wall than an Eagle Demon, flying high above, shrieked and dove toward him!

Yet Fang Yu didn’t even glance at it, sweeping his gaze elsewhere.

As the Eagle Demon neared and opened its massive maw to bite down...

Smack!!!

With a single slap, Fang Yu sent it flying away.

The Eagle Demon spun seven or eight times in mid-air, leaving it utterly dazed, looking at Fang Yu with eyes filled with terror! Frightened! It seemed it had never received such a massive blow.

It scrambled back to its flock.

A dozen or so Eagle Demons were circling and hovering together over there, only this one appeared out of place.

[Hovering Eagle Demon: 12788/12788.]

[Hovering Eagle Demon: 12788/12788.]

[Hovering Eagle Demon: 12788/12788.]

[...]

Fang Yu glanced at them coldly before retracting his gaze.

Such little Blood Demons didn’t even merit a second glance from him.

But to be honest, it was a bit peculiar.

In the last Illusion Fox Demon’s illusion, the damage was fixed.

But this time, there’s none of that, whatever the damage should be is what it is.

If that weren’t the case, with so many ants, he’d actually have to give it some consideration.

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, wondering if it was due to the target in question?

During that time, they were battling the Illusion Fox Demon, but now they’re dealing with other demons, so the illusion rules don’t apply?

Or perhaps the illusion rules have changed...

Fang Yu was uncertain.

Looking up once more.

The number on the black sphere had already changed.

23.

Fang Yu frowned.

What did this number represent?

While he contemplated, the number changed again.

36.

Increasing so rapidly!

Moreover, after observing for a while, Fang Yu noticed the number only rose, never decreased.

When Fang Yu saw the number pause for a moment, the group of oblivious, hovering Eagle Demons started to move toward him.

Fang Yu frowned at these nuisances, and as they cautiously approached to probe...
