Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Princess Li Wei 8: Separated

BUGH!

"Oh, my waist."

Li Wei who had just fallen with countless speeds could only land miserably. If before Li Wei had fallen on his stomach, now he was on his back. Surprisingly, he fell in a unique way.

How could he have fallen with this secret hole cover.

In fact, even though Li Wei fell, but he was still attached to the solid ground which since above had become his reclining pedestal. He did not understand how this solid earth map could fall together with him. Li Wei tried to get up and fumbled with darkness.

The surroundings were so quiet that he could hear the sound of his own heartbeat. In Li Wei's heart wished that his hands would not palpate at anything strange or dangerous. Plus he also does not know now what place he fell into.

"Wei Wuxie ... Zhang Yuwen," call Li Wei to confirm where the two comrades are.

But his voice was reflected so easily that he knew that he was not in an open place anymore like the Stone Labyrinth. It was also what made the surroundings of Li Wei completely dark. It's all because there's no moonlight or stars. Plus with his voice reflected.

An enclosed room, or underground cave.

That was all Li Wei could think about this place. But he still could not find the light there. Li Wei fumbled until his hand landed on the surface of the wall.

DUG DUG

Li Wei knocked on the wall surface. He realized that it was a stone wall, but it was somewhat different from the Stone Labyrinth. Li Wei was very confident he was in a closed room due to the dampness in the stone. There was no sunlight coming in, until the stone wall he knocked on felt quite cold. Occasionally he also heard like the sound of water droplets falling onto the surface of a rock.

It's so quiet that you can probably hear the cow whispering.

Not to mention the sound of rock beats which means the rock walls are thick solid rock. Unlike the Stone Labyrinth which tends to be hollow, and sometimes can be destroyed. It's an underground cave.

THE CRUTCHES!

"Wooden branch?" li Wei asked as he felt like stepping on something that felt dry.

Li Wei felt his breathing slightly sting. Maybe because of his own misgivings. I don't know.

However, Li Wei lowered her body to reach for the dry object she had stepped on earlier. At that moment Li Wei grabbed him to make sure. But he was very sure if the object he was holding was not a wooden branch.

The part is rather thick and does not feel rough like wood ...

Li Wei tried to break it with both hands, and he realized that it was not easy to break. Where did that broken voice come from? He actually remembered in a loud voice like stepping on something that was easily broken.

When Li Wei wanted to duck down again to palpate further, a hand pulled her.

"Hey, what are you ..."

SRETT!

Li Wei did not expect that he would be pulled strong enough. Even this person who pulled him could browse in the dark. The proof is they can get the right path without crashing. More than anything, Li Wei was convinced that this person had no evil intentions.

Is he ...

"Daughter, there seems to be an accident until the Princess falls into the hole." The voice sounded light, but foreign.

Li Wei had never heard this voice. However, this figure was definitely not someone Li Wei had thought of before. Perhaps this figure was the guard who oversaw the course of the Night Hunt.

"Where are we going?" asked Li Wei who did not argue when pulled by this man.

Even so, ... Li Wei began to realize what kind of thing he was grasping earlier. Especially when his hand was pulled by this man. It felt somewhat the same as with the thing that was grasped by Li Wei.

SRAPS!

Li Wei felt like he had not seen the light for a long time. His eyes were slightly blurry as the torch light entered from the gap of the open door. It was a door made of very bad wood material.

It was then that Li Wei slightly saw the figure that helped him out of it. It was a young man with a face covering. A member of the Night Army.

"Daughter, please come out that door. I can only deliver up to this place, because the Night Hunt supervisor will accuse the Princess of cheating," explained the man in a light tone.

Li Wei simply stared at the door while staring at his own hands. Remembering the thing he held before. He turned his eyes to the Army man that night.

"Is that ... Human bones?" li Wei asked in the end.

His hand trembled when he remembered that he was grasping the object because he thought it was a wooden branch. However, Li Wei had never even seen a dead person at close range. Then, if it's not wrong ... He was holding a hand bone from his skull.

"Is there a human skull in there?" li Wei asked again to be sure.

Seeing the Night Army saying nothing, Li Wei spoke again. "If the Kingdom knows ..."

Moment ...

It's hard to believe that anyone died in this place, but the kingdom didn't investigate. Moreover, the top of this cave was the Stone Labyrinth. Although this was the first time Li Wei had entered the Stone Labyrinth, but he had heard strange rumors about that part of the city.

This Stone Labyrinth was located in a part of the small City that had only a small population. Many said that this Stone Labyrinth was a training ground for the Night Soldiers. Thus Li Wei was initially confused when this place was used by them for the Night Hunt. After all, his city was a bit strange because it had a considerable amount of dust. The area is an area that often rains.

The distance between the Stone Labyrinth with this small town was quite close. Even Li Wei and Zhang Yuwen and Wei Wuxie had stopped by the city for a walk before entering the Stone Labyrinth, and started the Night Hunt.

"It was an accident when the Princess had to fall there. Usually we use that door to put something down" the man said very calmly.

So, Li Wei accidentally fell in the dump. The dumping ground. Li Wei had heard rumors about the Night Army that he said were like ghosts. He will kill unnoticed, and his body will never be found.

Turns ...

"Whatever it is Princess ... This place is not the place where Princess should go. Forgive my negligence for letting the Princess fall there."

I will ask His Majesty later!

Li Wei obviously could not comment on anything about this. He could only walk towards the door intended by the Army man that Night. But before Li Wei came out of there, Li Wei turned his head again.

"Thank you for dropping off. May I know what your name is? Well, if the Night Army had no problem to know his name," said Li Wei who actually did not know what to say anymore.

The provisions on the Night Army had been in existence since his father began ascending the throne as King. It is hard to believe that King Li kept the bones under the peace of his kingdom. Something like this indeed Li Wei could not accept.

As His Majesty said ... So did Brother Li Jun say. Things like this are hard to accept. I'm not gonna understand it.

Because, sacrificing the lives of others, even criminals, for the benefit of others. Not even giving him a peaceful rest as punishment. It's more cruel than it should be.

Until Li Wei realized that this man did not answer him. It might indeed have been an order for the Night Army members to keep their identities a secret. Li Wei could only draw her smile which was somehow hard to create. This reality was obviously still a bit difficult for Li Wei to accept.

When he was already on the outside, he heard the calm voice reply calmly as before.

"Shen's. They call me Shen Qibo." That was the answer from the man.

In the future Li Wei would probably meet this man. Or, maybe this guy didn't even mention his real name. I don't know.

***

"Hey .... This real?" zhang Yuwen asked who was still confused himself.

In fact, he had scratched into the ground several times just to search. He still could not find where the noisy Princess was. Even Wei Wuxie also practiced several times and repeated the actions of Princess Li Wei. Unfortunately, it turned out that it did not make way for the two of them to head towards Princess Li Wei.

Until they came to a new fact, that their misfortune was not as great as the misfortune of Princess Li Wei.

Wei Wuxie walked towards the surface of the Stone Labyrinth. He felt on the wall until he found a loose arrangement of stones. Looks like there's another door in there. Then, he kicked the stone until it collapsed. From there Wei Wuxie could see part of the other road.

"I found the door," Wei Wuxie shouted at Zhang Yuwen who was still checking at the place where Li Wei had fallen before.

Zhang Yuwen stood up straight and headed towards Wei Wuxie. He examined the hole in the labyrinth, and realized that this was the door to the next section. Then, what about the earthen pit that Li Wei had passed through earlier?

"Seeing from the shape of the Stone Labyrinth, perhaps the hunting area was nothing in the ground," Wei Wuxie retorted anxiously.

However, they still did not know where Princess Li Wei was.

"Then what should we do? We cannot leave the Princess," said Zhang Yuwen who finally got a nod from Wei Wuxie.

Thas right. They couldn't leave Li Wei, who knew where this was. However, they realized they also did not get an answer to their question. Not to mention the time the Night Hunt kept increasing. They were also unable to report to Master Ling Xiao and the others while the Night Hunt was still going on.

"Maybe that hole has another door. The princess is the one who found the entrance to the labyrinth door." Wei Wuxie tried to implant it in her head.

Li Wei would not give up just like that just because the girl was locked up. Not to mention Li Wei who was quite good at fighting. His strength was also like a possessed cow, so they did not have to worry so much.

Although yes ... Wei Wuxie was still worried about this.

"What if we continue the Night Hunt?" wei Wuxie asked who finally got a sharp glare from Zhang Yuwen.

As she recalled, Wei Wuxie was already like Li Wei's nanny. How could Wei Wuxie leave Li Wei. Plus those who have no fighting equipment. Just a bow and arrow ... It was also restricted to a few throws.

"You remember leaving the Princess? We don't even know what happened to him!" refute Zhang Yuwen directly.

"Just because we don't know what's going on, we have to move. We didn't do anything because we were waiting for that door to open. It's not necessarily open door either. We better find another way," explained Wei Wuxie who reassembled her darts bag.

They have to move to find out. They are waiting for something unclear now.

"But ... "

Wei Wuxie sighed. "I know! But she was Princess Li Wei. You think we can get into this labyrinth if he's not there before? He's the one who found the way until we could be here."

The fact that this Princess Li Wei was rather unusual. They had to be sure that Li Wei would not give up easily just because the girl was trapped. After all, Wei Wuxie was also convinced that someone was watching the hunt tonight. Of course secretly.

"What if it doesn't?" zhang Yuwen asked to still present the worst option.

As much as possible at any time man prepares himself for a choice that ends badly. So they do not need to be surprised or disappointed. That was what Zhang Yuwen thought in his brain.

Wei Wuxie replied, A huge snake emerged from behind the collapsed walls of the labyrinth. It is the same size as even the slimmest cow's waist. This made Wei Wuxie roll away, or she would soon be swallowed by the snake.

GRAFTS

BRACKET

As a result of the large snake, the hole of the Stone Labyrinth grew bigger. Even Wei Wuxie could see a huge crack that indicated that the part of the labyrinth that was broken through by this snake could no longer survive when the bottom foundation was destroyed. That would obviously make this part of the labyrinth wide open.

Zhang Yuwen pointed his arrow bow at the snake's head, "This animal, how could he appear?"

It's a bit strange when an animal of this size won't trigger a commotion in the Stone Labyrinth. At least if this giant snake has a nest, then the nest is already as big as a mountain. Not to mention the length that is already equivalent to the height of the trees, or maybe more.

The unlucky thing was that Zhang Yuwen and Wei Wuxie each only had three bow arrows. Their swords were also not to be carried, so they were desperate this time.

SJSSHh....

Suddenly Zhang Yuwen felt amused himself when he heard the sound of this snake hiss. But the snake was 'very' agile, even though his body was already very large. Zhang Yuwen even had to jump onto a huge pile of rocks to aim his bow at the snake's head.

Fuck you by throwing arrows! Their lives are more important than just those damn points.

Wei Wuxie also immediately rose to be more alert in fighting this snake.

STAPLE!

TING'S.

Bounces.

"What is this snake's head as hard as?" zhang Yuwen shouted in disbelief at his arrow that was burning just like that.

Wei Wuxie examined his arrows, "The kingdom provides these arrows for artificial prey. It was only made from talisman paper, and a bit of magic shield. So that the quality of the arrows is made of less thick iron.

Moreover, actually the head of this snake already looks as hard as a rock.

The snake curled around the pile of rocks where Zhang Yuwen was standing. If Zhang Yuwen had not jumped off that pile of rocks, perhaps he would have been entangled by the snake's body. Zhang Yuwen jumped up after kicking a stone the size of a fist until it hit the snake's eyes.

GRAK!

TRRAAKKK

The snake shook its head when the stone hit its eyes. That's what causes the vibrations around them. The newly risen Zhang Yuwen was instantly pulled in by Wei Wuxie to escape. They can't face this snake in the open field.

At least they should make a plan.

Zhang Yuwen felt a pain in his chest as a result of being knocked down while jumping. That's what makes his speed in moving less. It was only following Wei Wuxie that attracted Zhang Yuwen to hide in the hole where they had entered before.

They returned to the initial door that Li Wei had found earlier.

Remember that the hole can only be entered by crawling into it. Wei Wuxie let Zhang Yuwen in first. After which, Wei Wuxie quickly caught up with the entrance.

And ... STAPLE!

"Almost we become a snack of this snake" Zhang Yuwen said as he looked at the snake's mouth that adorned the surface of the hole.

Even the two fangs of the snake also became a horror when they saw the magnitude. The snake retreated again from the surface of the hole, and tried to break through into the hole.

BRACKET!

BRACKET!

"The walls of this labyrinth cannot survive. We have to go back out" said Wei Wuxie who encouraged Zhang Yuwen to return to the labyrinth estuary.

He did not know if the other participants had the same obstacles. It was just that Wei Wuxie was convinced that this was not the will of nature. In that sense, all these tests have been determined by the Master.

"It seems like Master Ling Xiao is not afraid to make us hurt," Zhang Yuwen said, pressing against his chest. Even Zhang Yuwen had to let his scratched arm in hastily.

BRACKET!

It's insanity.

The snake was very interested in attacking the two of them. Even when they have entered the middle of the hole, this snake is still trying to destroy the surface of the hole. Wei Wuxie only waited for the restriction until the guards finished this test.

I don't know. Or, they have to shout to surrender first they will overcome this snake?

That means we have to let go and accept our new results these two.

Well, maybe getting two hunts isn't bad at all. Than getting nothing.

"Wei Wuxie, the back is impassable. There were rocks falling" Zhang Yuwen reported, noticing that as a result of the snake's break, the other side of the hole closed again. Of course from the falling maze walls.

Pimply. Is there a better situation than this?

DUG DUG DUG

BRACKET!

Wei Wuxie heard a loud noise from the direction the snake was coming from. At first he thought that the wall the snake had broken through had been destroyed. However, after that loud noise there was no sound anymore. It was as if there was no other movement from this snake.

"Yuwen, is the snake gone?" wei Wuxie asked for Zhang Yuwen's opinion.

What if they checked, and the giant snake was still there?

But which snake has that kind of intelligence? Even to the point of having a plan to wait for them to come out. I don't know. Wei Wuxie realized this was not the time to guess the intelligence of this snake.

"Or, the guard of the Night Hunt has already overcome it," replied Zhang Yuwen who was as confused as Wei Wuxie.

Just then Wei Wuxie was intending to go back out, and Zhang Yuwen restrained his arm. "You want to be swallowed by that snake?" zhang Yuwen asked in horror.

"It looks like the snake is no longer there. If not, then he will try to destroy the entrance until it collapses" Wei Wuxie estimated.

Zhang Yuwen could only follow Wei Wuxie who had already crawled out first. Just then from the torchlight that was lined up inside the labyrinth, Wei Wuxie was sure that he did not see wrong.

"This ..."

Hhhhh ...

Slowly the giant snake that was lying _which is certainly now lifeless _ began to burn. They could see that there was an arrow stuck in the right eye of the huge snake. The arrow was slowly burning, just like the performance of the previous hunt.

So, this snake was just a quarry created by Ling Xiao.

"I think all the game that must be pursued is birds" said Zhang Yuwen, who represented Wei Wuxie's heart.

Since then, they have only faced very predatory blackbirds. That's all they've had enough trouble, because the attacking power is quite high. Now Ling Xiao was also providing hunting in another form.

Will they have to face anything else?!

Also ...

Who's archer?

"Is the Princess ..."

Zhang Yuwen had not yet finished his remark, an all-black figure seemed to descend from the top of the Stone Labyrinth. Who would have thought that the archer was at the top of the labyrinth. The figure appeared to descend the walls of the Stone Labyrinth by holding on to the stones. The movement of his hands was fast enough that they thought the archer's body was flexible enough but strong enough to hold on to any rock surface.

SRAT!

When the man descended, the giant snake had been charred on fire and took out a talisman paper as a result. The paper drifted into the air to get back at this dangerous 'toys' maker.

"Is he a Helper God?" zhang Yuwen asked as he patted Wei Wuxie on the shoulder.

Wei Wuxie frowned, "This man ..."

It was indeed as he had expected that this man would have no trouble in the Night Hunt. More than anything this man had a face that made others forget. The point is that this man is rarely seen, so if you do not remember his appearance, then you will forget how his face lines. His face was handsome, but there was no aura of anything that could make you want to look at him.

How to explain it ...

It's like as good as any flower, if you see it very rarely can you remember about it. Not to mention ...

SRETT!

Look at! Just now Wei Wuxie and Zhang Yuwen saw his face this man had already turned around and put on his huge robe. So they can't see his face anymore.

"Yes ...!!" zhang Yuwen said to complete Wei Wuxie's earlier remark.

Since when did this Hua start his Night Hunt?
