By the way, when Xu Jun threw the smoke bomb, Ji Cangyu and the others were busy minding their own business, so they didn't notice what happened behind them.
They didn't stop until they heard Ling'er's exclamation. But because he had just turned a corner, even if he turned around, Ji Cangyu couldn't see the situation at Linger's place.
Then there was a "bang", and then they saw Xu Jun rushing over, but they didn't see Ling'er and Qi Yang.
"Where are they?" Ji Cangyu asked anxiously.
"They were a step too late and were imprisoned on the other side of the stone wall." Xu Jun said pretending to be anxious.
"Is Ling'er injured?" Ji Cangyu asked worriedly.
"Everyone is fine." Xu Jun replied.
Ji Cangyu breathed a sigh of relief and said puzzledly: "What's going on? That kid Qi Yang should know how to measure it!"
"I told him not to mark him! Really! What should we do now?" Zhao Xinghe said angrily.
"Let's move forward quickly! Otherwise we will be locked up!" Xu Jun said while looking at the falling stone wall behind him.
Jiang Yu hurriedly objected: "No! We have to wait for them to leave together!"
Ji Cangyu glanced at the stone wall behind him hesitantly, feeling in a dilemma.
"If you want to wait, you can't wait here! We can wait for them at the exit." Liu Chuyuan said calmly.
"Third Junior Brother is right! Let's leave these stone chambers first!" Zhao Xinghe noticed that the stone walls in front of them were beginning to fall and he hurriedly agreed.
"Dad, what are you still hesitating about? It will be too late if you don't leave!" Xu Jun advised.
Ji Cangyu said cruelly, "Let's go!" After saying that, he led the other four people to get through the stone wall in front of them before it fell.
If he didn't believe in Qi Yang's ability to break formations, how could Ji Cangyu leave them alone halfway? He has always regarded Ling'er as his biological daughter, and for Qi Yang, perhaps because of Zhou Yujie, he would not ignore Qi Yang's death.
And Liu Chuyuan was right, he couldn't wait for them here if he wanted to. He was accompanied by Xu Jun and three other young people! He had to take them out of these stone chambers first. If he couldn't wait for Qi Yang and the others by then, it wouldn't be too late for him to come back and save them.

After resting for a while, Qi Yang's pulse returned to normal, and Ling'er finally felt relieved.
Ling'er saw Qi Yang sitting there holding a pebble and drawing something on the ground on the left, so he quickly sat next to him holding a torch to illuminate him.
Ling'er couldn't understand the graphics drawn by Qi Yang and didn't dare to disturb him, so she just stared at the surrounding stone walls in a daze.
There was no movement at all on these stone walls. After staring at them for a while, Ling'er became anxious.
Qi Yang was recalling the relative positions of the several stone chambers they had just walked through, and then deducing the layout of more stone chambers.
"Turn right, go straight, go straight, go straight, turn right, go straight, go straight, go straight, turn right again, go straight, go straight." Qi Yang murmured to himself, and then pointed to where they had not been before just now. The stone wall that I had time to pass through.
"After Master Jiji and the others have passed this stone wall, why don't they turn right?" Qi Yang suddenly turned around and asked Ling'er.
"I didn't pay attention!" Ling'er said ashamedly.
"It doesn't matter, I just took a quick look at it and it should be right." Qi Yang said with a smile.
Ling'er noticed that Qi Yang had drawn many small squares on the ground, and she guessed that each small square represented a stone room.
Seeing Qi Yang make a mark on one of the squares, Ling'er couldn't help but ask: "Is this the stone room we are in?"
"Not bad." Qi Yang nodded.
"Where is the other one who made the mark?" Ling'er asked again.
"That was the first stone room we walked through, and it was the starting point of this maze." Qi Yang said, looking up at Ling'er.
"Well, go ahead! I won't disturb you anymore." Ling'er was afraid of interrupting Qi Yang's thoughts, so she suppressed her curiosity and continued to stare at the stone wall.
Qi Yang curled his lips. He could see that Ling'er wanted to know what this maze was about, but he pretended not to be interested.
"I have already thought of a way to break the formation." Qi Yang said with a smile.
"Really?" Ling'er said in surprise, "Then..." She hesitated for a moment, but still refrained from asking. She doesn't understand the formation, so she might not be able to understand it even if she asks, but she better not let Brother Yang bother her.
Qi Yang saw Ling'er's hesitation in speaking, and explained with a smile: "Actually, this formation is composed of nine palaces extended into sixteen palaces superimposed many times."
"Sixteenth Palace?" Ling'er frowned, she really couldn't understand.
Qi Yang stretched out his left hand, made gestures on the small squares he drew, and explained: "This is the sixteenth palace, and the entire formation is made up of many sixteenth palaces superimposed." After speaking, , he made a few more gestures, and expanded into several sixteen palaces with the earliest stone room as the center.
"I understand somewhat. But how to crack it?" Ling'er asked.
"There is a stone room in each of the sixteen palaces that you can walk out of, but this stone room was hidden by the designer. It is not easy to find it. You need to walk through all the sixteen palaces here several times. "Qi Yang explained patiently.
"That will take a lot of effort, right?" Ling'er was a little surprised.
"That's right. Only by walking a few times can we figure out the designer's intentions." Qi Yang said.
"Is this just speculation?" Ling'er frowned.
"It takes a lot of effort to crack the formation that automatically opens the channel. And judging from the situation just now, the time between openings of the stone wall will become shorter and shorter, and cracking it with that method will make people feel tired." Qi Yang said Something went wrong.
"Why did the array setter do this?" Ling'er asked.
"Let those who break the formation be exhausted physically and mentally, unable to calm down and think about ways to break the formation." Qi Yang replied.
Ling'er nodded clearly. They really didn't have time to stop and think about countermeasures just now.
"Actually, there is another way to break this formation, but it is also very time-consuming." Qi Yang added.
"How to crack it?" Ling'er asked quickly.
"Go back to the starting point." Qi Yang explained, "When all the sixteen palaces have turned around, a passage will open that can lead directly to the exit."
"Can I go out directly from there?" Ling'er asked expectantly.
"No. But it will be simpler." Qi Yang shook his head.
"How long does it take for all the sixteen palaces to turn around?" Ling'er asked.
"Based on the speed at which the stone wall was raised and lowered just now, it may take more than ten hours." Qi Yang speculated.
"Ten hours?" Ling'er was surprised.
"And we still need to wait a few hours before we can return to the starting point." Qi Yang added.
"Ah? We still have to stay in this stone room for so long?" Ling'er frowned upon hearing this.
"If the girl doesn't want to wait any longer, I'll think of other ways." Qi Yang said.
"Is there any other way?" Ling'er asked.
Qi Yang frowned in embarrassment.
"Actually, I can wait as long as I want. But this stone chamber is so airtight, I'm worried that you will feel uncomfortable." Ling'er looked at Qi Yang worriedly.
"I've taken the medicine and I'm fine." Qi Yang hurriedly comforted Ling'er.
"Don't hide it from me! The remaining poison in your body has not been cleared away, and taking medicine will not help." Ling'er said sadly.
Qi Yang felt warm in his heart, knowing that Ling'er was always caring about him, what more could he ask for?
