Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Swarm of Scorpions!

"""Do I even need to say it?"" Shen Sinning gave Hick a glance, ""A girl like me is of course rare, because every girl is unique.""

""Life is just a one-way road to death; we must try to enjoy the scenery along the way as much as possible. Once dead, it’s all over. That’s why I love traveling and adventuring.""

""Hick, I still have to thank you for being willing to risk your life and go crazy with me.""

Upon hearing this, Hick’s face turned red, ""I am willing to be Miss Shen Sinning’s knight, to go through fire and water for Miss Shen Sinning, without hesitation.""

""Alright, let’s figure a way out first,"" Shen Sinning said, ""if we study hard enough, we’ll find a method.""

""Hmm,"" Hick nodded, ""why not, shall we try every road?""

Shen Sinning: ""......""

The two of them studied the six forks in the road for a while and tried every method they could think of but to no avail.

Just then, a group of people came walking in from one of the paths.

""Eh? It’s you guys?"" Shen Sinning was a bit surprised, because this group had previously invited her to join them, led by Robert.

Robert, equally surprised to encounter Shen Sinning here, asked in amazement, ""Miss, why are you backtracking?""

""This place is tricky..."" After Shen Sinning recounted her experiences, Robert’s group erupted in laughter, ""You couldn’t even get out of these paths and dared to explore the tower alone, aren’t you asking for trouble?""

Hick was somewhat angry, but Shen Sinning remained quite calm, ""Didn’t you guys encounter any forks when you came?""

""We did,"" said Robert, ""but we bought a ’Tower Exploration Guide’ from a tower guide, which came with a map. It clearly shows all these forks, and we just followed the map.""

""Is there such a good thing?"" Shen Sinning was skeptical, ""Can I take a look?""

""Okay..."" Just as Robert was about to show her the map, his companion stopped him, ""Miss, this map cost us a good deal of money. If you want a look, you’ll have to pay a price.""

""It’s just money, right?"" Shen Sinning said, ""How much? Name your price.""

""Not money."" The guy leered at Shen Sinning, ""Just strip and dance with us...""

Slap!

The guy’s face was suddenly struck by a slap from Hick, and the others tried to pounce, only to find Hick’s Dagger already at the guy’s throat, ""Try coming any closer?""

Everyone stopped in their tracks, not daring to move forward.

Robert hastily played the peacemaker, ""Donna, you went too far, quickly apologize to this lady.""

With no other choice, the guy named Donna begrudgingly apologized, ""Lady, I’m sorry.""

Robert casually handed the map to Shen Sinning, ""Lady, here’s the map, take a look.""

Shen Sinning took the map but frowned upon inspecting it.

She felt something was off about the map, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it immediately.

She memorized the map and then returned it to Robert, ""Thanks.""

Robert took back the map, smiled at Shen Sinning, and said, ""Lady, would you like to join us?"""

"Let’s not bother," Shen Sinning said with a smile, shaking her head, "lest your group always wants me to strip and dance."

"Alright then, we’ll go by ourselves," Robert said somewhat awkwardly, waving his hand toward his companions, "Let’s go."

Donna cast a resentful glance at Hick before leaving begrudgingly.

"Hmph." Hick didn’t pay any attention to Donna. This guy had better not come provoking him again, otherwise, next time it wouldn’t be just placing a dagger on his neck that simply!

Once Robert and the others had left, Hick turned to Shen Sinning and asked, "Sinning, is that map useful?"

"I’m not sure if it’s useful," Shen Sinning replied. "I looked at it, and the first fork in the road it marked is the middle path, the same as the one we took. But for the second fork, the map shows you can take either of the two middle paths."

"We didn’t proceed just now but turned back, so I also don’t know if this map is correct."

"Now that we have the map, and since we also turned back, wouldn’t we know if we can get out by following this map?" Hick said.

"I still feel something is off," Shen Sinning finally realized where the problem lay. "When I looked at the map earlier, it didn’t show that the three paths we came from would turn into six. That means if we try to go back the same way, it might not be the same as before."

"Let’s just try walking and see," Hick took a deep breath. "What if we make it out?"

Shen Sinning: "......"

Hick and Shen Sinning’s premonition was right. Following the same path back, where there should have been an exit, suddenly there was a smooth wall.

In other words, the way they came out was not the same as the way they had entered!

"What do we do now?" Hick and Shen Sinning were deep in thought when suddenly, screams and shrieks came from behind them: "Ah—"

Both turned toward the direction of the sounds and saw Robert’s group desperately running in their direction.

Behind them, a dense swarm of creatures was chasing them.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Sinning saw they were red scorpions the size of mice!

The slowest one among them tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground, and the swarm of scorpions immediately scurried over him.

"Ah— Ah— Ah—" The man screamed three times before he fell silent.

After the scorpions had passed over him, all that was left of him was a pile of bloody bones!

"What do we do?" Shen Sinning’s face also changed, although she was not afraid of death, she was afraid of being bitten into a skeleton by these scorpions.

When her brother-in-law came to collect her body, they might not even find her remains, "whimper... "

Although Hick also didn’t know what to do, he bravely stood in front of Shen Sinning: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

The group quickly ran past them, and the swarm of scorpions also rushed towards them.

Just as the scorpions were about to rush at them, Shen Sinning closed her eyes, but the scorpions suddenly stopped about a meter in front of her and Hick.

Seeing how they were, wanting to advance yet not daring to, it seemed they were afraid of something.

"Huh? They seem unable to move," Hick said curiously, "could it be that we have something on us that they are afraid of?"
