Half an hour had passed by too fast.

Luo Jian shrank in Xing Yan’s arms for a long time and refused to let go. Xing Yan was extremely willing to accept the delicious food that sent itself to his door. He sat on the ground with Luo Jian within his embrace, touched Luo Jian’s face, and started to chew on it. Luo Jian’s lips were red and swollen from his bites. Luo Jian may not have been very willing to bite him, but if this continued, he would only be bullied even more severely.

Xing Yan was provoked, so he straightforwardly pressed the pitiful little Luo Jian against the floor. Luo Jian could not voice out any protest, so he could only stare at Xing Yan with tears in his eyes. Xing Yan suddenly felt his lust surge up from his heart, and the evil intentions welling within him caused him to grow more courageous. He grabbed Luo Jian’s shirt and yanked it hard, revealing a large patch of beautiful, snow white skin.

However, the bloody wound wrapped by gauze on his neck destroyed the aesthetic. Xing Yan felt Luo Jian’s neck with his hands and asked him, “Does it hurt?”

Recently, Luo Jian had suffered a lot of injuries, including on his neck, shoulders, and left hand. They were all wrapped in blood-stained gauze. However, his constitution was unexpectedly good. Luo Jian did not feel much pain, so he shook his head.

“As soon as I entered this secret chamber, the secret chamber arranged me to take on the identity of the ‘ghost.’” Xing Yan kissed Luo Jian’s clavicle, comforted him, and relayed some information to him: “I will give you this identity...... It will be helpful towards you, and you will soon find out why.”

After that, what Luo Jian could recall became a little fuzzy. He may have fainted in the middle of it. After all, he had lost too much blood, and his endurance had yet to recover. When he woke up again in a daze, he saw that Xing Yan’s eyes had become red again.

Luo Jian could not remember when he and the stalker had exchanged weapons again. His entire body and all his bones felt as if they had fallen apart. He whined twice in discomfort and found that he could make noise again. Xing Yan was sitting beside him, holding him in his arms with his clothes on and appearing prim and proper. If it were not for the pain he could still feel in his whole body, he would have believed that what had happened was just a dream so passionate that he had forgotten all sense of self.

Xing Yan really liked Luo Jian’s confused appearance when he just woke up. He came closer to the other’s face and licked his lips. Luo Jian stupidly remained motionless and allowed him to lick. It took a long time for him to remember that he had to respond. He blushed and started to exchange saliva with Xing Yan. Xing Yan immediately laughed. He could not speak any longer, but he looked very handsome when he laughed.

Luo Jian never thought that someone in this world could be so attractive to him. He stared at Xing Yan and could hardly move his eyes away from him. He knew that he had to respond to his feelings, so he blushed, plucked up his courage, and said cautiously, “I like you too...... No matter who you are.”

Xing Yan’s answer was a kiss.

The duel that was supposed to last half an hour had ended long ago, and they had even way exceeded the time for it. Luo Jian had also lost the temporary ability to sense the surrounding terrain. It had to be said that the abilities the secret chamber bestowed were really magical. Luo Jian felt it was necessary to ask his paternal cousin some questions―for example, about the origins of the chamber.

The next thing Luo Jian should do was to return to his team. However, it was obvious that the stalker did not want to leave Luo Jian at all, not even wanting to move half a step away from Luo Jian. He held Luo Jian’s hand as they walked through this huge and complex underground labyrinth. He was terrifyingly familiar with the surrounding terrain; he did not need any guidance or map, etc. to easily bring Luo Jian through every obstacle.

They could no longer communicate, but because of the ouroboros mark on his neck, Luo Jian could still sense some of the other’s simple emotions. He could obviously feel Xing Yan’s happiness, which seemed to be very strong, and his feelings even mixed with Luo Jian’s feelings. Luo Jian could not tell whether he was very happy or if the other party’s feelings were too strong.

How fortunate.

Luo Jian thought that he was overwhelmed by this intense sense of happiness. However, he also felt a wave of fear that all this that they had was only temporary and they would soon be separated whether they were willing to or not. When the secret chamber experience ended, they would be forced to separate into two distinct lands; one would always be in the endless darkness while the other would always be in the sunny reality.

Luo Jian did not want to think about these things that made him feel sad. He held the stalker’s arm with one of his hands and stuck his whole body onto him. It seemed that Xing Yan was also amused by Luo Jian’s childish behavior, so he just stretched out his hands and lifted Luo Jian into his embrace by his waist.

“I don’t want to be separated from you.” Luo Jian muttered softly as he buried his face into the crook of the other party’s neck as he held Xing Yan around the neck.

Xing Yan could not answer, so he could only rub his cheeks against Luo Jian’s to comfort him.

Luo Jian felt his nose burn. They could not even have a normal conversation. They could not stay together all the time and even had to face the threat of death all the time. The secret chamber was like a terrifying shadow: when one remained in it, one would always wonder if one could see tomorrow’s sun.

But Luo Jian also knew clearly that he could not stay in the secret chambers for the rest of his life. He had to escape from it and ensure that he would survive. Only by living could he create more possibilities, to escape from the infinite secret chamber forever, and even......

Luo Jian raised his head and glanced at Xing Yan and his crimson eyes.

If he was capable, he would find a good way to help Xing Yan escape the control of the secret chamber, and they would escape from the infinite secret chambers together. He would take all their relatives and friends and liberate all the people they could. There would always be a way to let them be happier than they were right now.

Specter thought that he was a big light bulb, one that was shining especially brightly, because beside him, there was a lovey-dovey couple that was exchanging flirtatious glances, lovers who were his good teammates!

“F*ck! I say, can both of you keep a low profile! Can you turn your attention to look at this map instead?!” Specter was so angry that he gave up his usual good manners and clapped hard on the coffin that they were using as a table. He slapped the coffin so hard that the poor corpse inside cracked.

Duan Li discontentedly looked at Specter and gave up flirting with the little Ah Lan in his arms, who became docile. He obediently crawled from Duan Li’s side and shrunk into Specter’s side, shivering. Specter looked at Ah Lan, who could not help shivering as he curled up. He raised his eyebrows doubtfully: “Why the heck are you shivering? Are you cold?”

Ah Lan also did not speak but merely kept shivering with his head lowered, the fur on his head messily standing up. He looked extremely pitiful.

Specter paused and suddenly felt that the boy looked familiar. He stretched out his hand to rub the hair on Ah Lan’s head, but when his fingers just touched his hair, he paused and hesitated for a while. After some time, he pressed his fingers down, causing his hair to appear even more disorderly.

“Do I know you?” Specter took a look at Ah Lan and felt that he looked more and more familiar, and Feng YuLan who had heard Specter’s words, seemed to be confused, raised his head, and asked, “You don’t recognize me?”

Ah Lan said, “I am Feng YuLan! I was the one who always accompanied Ah Jian when we were young! Haven’t we met before?”

When he mentioned Luo Jian, Ah Lan seemed to be in low spirits and said, “When will Ah Jian come back? Can he really find us? We should stay where we are and wait for him to come back.”

Now, Specter had a vague impression of Feng YuLan. It seemed that it was his little brother’s playmate from when he was younger. He did not expect that they would enter the secret chamber together.

“Don’t worry about Luo Jian. That boy is definitely alive and kicking.” Specter was very assured about Luo Jian’s situation.

“How can you be so sure?” At this time, Duan Li also went to them and said, “What if he fails?”

“The prop I gave him can locate him. If he really fails, I will be summoned.” Specter slyly smiled: “It’s been an hour. He’s still alive.”

While they discussed, they left the tomb vault and began to follow the map’s route as they walked to the next tomb vault.

At first, no one could understand the contents of the map, but when Ah Lan took out a small notebook from the limbo, the contents of the map became simple and easy to crack.

Yes, it was the little book full of ancient writings that Ah Lan got from the body of the lost soul. Ah Lan could not understand the ancient text in the book, but Duan Li could. Not only could he understand it, but he also found that the contents of the book were actually the explanations of all kinds of complicated figures and inexplicable words on the map, helping them easily avoid the tomb vaults with mechanisms. Then, they found another map hidden in the little book.

They had two of the four map pieces now.

“There must be a map piece in the tomb vault of the god. As for the last one, I hope our poor enemies are smart enough to get it.” Specter flicked the map with his fingers.

Specter, Duan Li, and Ah Lan had not seen any members of the enemy’s team. Although they would not relax their vigilance, they did not take the enemy seriously either. Apart from Duan Li and Ah Lan, Specter was the real veteran of the secret chamber. He had seen all kinds of mysteries and puzzles in the secret chamber and had dealt with all kinds of enemies. He was entirely ready and prepared to ensure that he could complete the final test given by the secret chamber. It was only then that he had enough courage to be an oracle.

In fact, Specter’s strength had long reached the threshold to be an oracle. However, he did not want to show off his full abilities, so he had always suppressed his strength until the moment when he became an oracle.

It was considered a taboo to look down on the opponent, but in this team battle, only those stalkers were opponents worthy of Specter’s vigilance. Moreover, according to what Luo Jian had mentioned to him regarding Clown and the other enemies, it was highly likely that one of the enemy members was ‘dead.’ Even if he did not die, he had to be seriously injured. As for the rest of their team members, he only had to be vigilant against the enemy team captain and their strategist.
