Ling'er quickly lit the torch in her hand while there was still some weak light before the stone wall came down completely.
Qi Yang squatted down, took out stones from his pocket and drew the layout of these stone chambers on the ground by the light of the torch.
"Are you trying to figure out where to go next?" Ling'er asked in surprise. She thought Qi Yang had already figured out how to break the formation.
"No, I'll leave a mark here. If Master Ji and others pass by here and see it, they will know how to get out of the formation." Qi Yang explained.
"So that's it." Ling'er suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh at Qi Yang's attentiveness.
After a while, Qi Yang made the mark.
"I don't know where Uncle Ji and the others are at this time. Their torches should have been burned out long ago, right?" Ling'er looked at the torch in his hand with some worry.
"Girl, don't worry. Even if the torch burns out, they still have the fire." Qi Yang hurriedly comforted Ling'er.
"We all stayed at the starting point for two days, why didn't they come back to the starting point like us?" Ling'er asked.
"Before the passage to the starting point opens, other passages will open first, so if you don't calculate the route in advance, it will be difficult to walk to the starting point at will. But even if you calculate the route in advance, it is very easy to miss it. Once you miss it, you will We have to wait for another day or two." Qi Yang frowned.
"Like what we encountered before? In that kind of emergency situation, if you don't pay attention, you will miss it." Ling'er couldn't help but think of the situation two days ago. If Qi Yang hadn't been by her side at that time, she would have missed the starting point.
"That's right. The designer of the mechanism just wants the game breaker to fall into an infinite loop." Qi Yang said.
"What if we can't find the starting point? Will we be trapped in the formation?" Ling'er asked in surprise.
"Then I don't know. However, if you want to reach the exit, you don't necessarily have to pass through the starting point. Leaving from the starting point is just less likely to make mistakes." Qi Yang said.
Linger nodded, Qi Yang had said this before.
"Even if they don't return to the starting point, the passers-by still have the opportunity to pass through this stone chamber, but they don't know that this is the only way out, and they don't know where to go next." Qi Yang continued to explain.
"In other words, we need to continue waiting here until the correct channel opens?" Ling'er asked.
"That's right. It's not long since dawn. According to my inference, it won't be until dark at the earliest before we can leave this maze." Qi Yang said while paying attention to Ling'er's expression. He was worried that Ling'er would feel depressed after hearing this.
Ling'er happily accepted the result. She said, "It would be great if we could leave here! But I wonder if Uncle Ji and the others are already waiting for us at the exit."
"The last time the exit was opened was two days ago. Only those who already know how to crack this formation will reach the exit one step ahead of us." Qi Yang said.
"Xu Jun?" Ling'er immediately thought of the spy among them.
Qi Yang shook his head and said: "Judging from his performance along the way, he doesn't know much about this secret realm. Even if he has a certain understanding of the 'Blood Cave', he may not necessarily know the formations in it." The mystery lies.”
"That's right." Ling'er nodded, looked at the graphics on the ground, and asked, "Then when will the exit be opened next? Do we need to wait two days?"
"No, two days is the time interval from the starting point to the exit. If we break the formation halfway, it may only take a shorter time." Qi Yang said.
"It seems that it is very necessary for you to leave these marks." Ling'er nodded again.
At this moment, a stone wall beside them suddenly rose up.
"Uncle Ji and the others are still missing." Ling'er said disappointedly.
I don't know since when, whenever a stone wall rises, Ling'er will hold on to the hope of meeting Ji Cangyu and the others.
Qi Yang ignored Ling'er who was melancholy there. He hurriedly left an arrow pointing to their stone room in the stone room next door before the stone wall fell.
Ling'er couldn't help but sigh again at Qi Yang's wit, which greatly reduced the difficulty for Ji Cangyu and the others to find the exit.
So, in the next time, they spent the rest of the time leaving marking clues for Ji Cangyu and the others in various ways.
Qi Yang left a road map to the exit in every stone chamber they passed, and left arrows leading to the exit on the other side of the stone walls where these stone chambers had been opened.
Ling'er used the gap to change the medicine for Qi Yang's wound.

Several hours later, Ling'er was pleasantly surprised to find that the opposite side of a stone wall was no longer a small and airtight stone chamber. They finally made it out successfully!
Since there is no connecting hole to the outside, it is still pitch black ahead, and you can't see your fingers.
Ling'er raised the torch and barely illuminated the surroundings. It turned out that they came to a very open cave.
"It seems that Uncle Ji and the others are still trapped in the maze." Ling'er didn't see Ji Cangyu and the others and was a little worried.
"Wait for them here! Even the two of them can't pass the level ahead." Qi Yang said.
Ling'er nodded and began to observe the cave. The shape of this cave is irregular, not round or square.
There seemed to be densely painted patterns on the stone walls of the cave. Linger walked forward with a torch, curious about what was painted on them.
"Be careful!" Qi Yang shouted hurriedly, and in a hurry, he directly grabbed Ling'er's arm, regardless of whether men and women were kissing each other.
"What's wrong?" Ling'er stopped and turned around to ask.
"Watch your step!" Qi Yang reminded.
Ling'er looked down and found a small ditch in front of her. The water surface of this small ditch is basically level with the ground, making it difficult to spot in dim light. Only someone as cautious as Qi Yang would notice.
"There is actually an underground ditch here! The water is flowing, so it should be drinkable, right?" Ling'er had an idea after thinking that there was not much edible water left in their water bags.
Qi Yang took the torch from Linger's hand, squatted down to observe, frowned and said, "I'm afraid not. The water should be flowing down from the lake above."
"You mean there's 'soul-eating' in this water?" Ling'er was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back.
"It's very possible." Qi Yang nodded and said, "Girl, you might as well throw something in and try it."
"That's right, you'll know after you give it a try." As he said that, Ling'er began to dig through his small bag, took out a sprig of herbs picked randomly on the road, and carefully threw it into the water.
I saw that the herb withered as soon as it touched the water.
"It's really 'soul-eating'!" Ling'er exclaimed and couldn't help but start to feel scared. If Qi Yang hadn't grabbed her just now, she might have fallen into the ditch and her life would have been lost.
