Chapter 428: The Miraculous Effects of True Fragrance

Lin Shuang walked expressionlessly in front of Li An and Shuang Xue.She knew every path in this maze, even after dozens of epochs.On the way, she took Shuang Xue on a few gold-digging adventures.Li An also encountered another human genius, an elementalist, whom he wasn't very familiar with."Brother Li An," the other man said, a little reserved.Because Li An's reputation was immense, everyone currently considered him to be on par with Zhao Shaolong and the others.Li An asked seriously, "Did you encounter anyone else along the way?""Not yet.""No enemies?""No."Li An frowned. "It seems this maze is a bit larger than I imagined."Standing by, Lin Shuang reflected silently. This ship once carried every living being in the entire immortal world.Although many powerful immortals had used their hidden powers to increase its capacity,the ship itself was the size of a continent. How could it be that easy to encounter others?This made Li An think. "How about we just go and open the door?""They won't be able to find the way for a while anyway.""Having someone to lead the way is a huge advantage.""Does Yu Jingnian know the way?"Lin Shuang nodded, saying, "He probably does."Li An's face was thoughtful.Two choices lay before him.Gather everyone first, or open the door?If the enemy couldn't find the door, they wouldn't be able to stop the powerful being behind it from awakening.But if they did find it and arrived before his companions, he would be no match for them.He knew his own strength.One versus one, or even two or three, he wasn't afraid.He was afraid of one versus seven or eight.Who could withstand that?So, should he find the people first, or the door?After a brief hesitation, Li An looked at the human elementalist and said, "If you encounter other human players later, tell them to meet at the entrance to the third floor."The human elementalist, a look of concern on his face, said, "Brother Li An, this maze is too vast. It might be difficult to gather together, right?"Li An said calmly, "Just do as I say. I'll figure out the rest."The elementalist nodded silently and parted ways with Li An, heading off to find someone else.Li An turned back and walked to the entrance to the second floor.He encountered no one.He only saw him kneading the evil thought liquid with his hands, as if he were working with mud.Lin Shuang watched this scene, puzzled.Has Li An gone mad? Playing with mud instead of doing his job?But then, a strange look crossed her eyes.Li An painted the evil thought on the wall again, forming a unique symbol.This symbol was only recognizable to human geniuses.Shuang Xue chuckled softly at the symbol. The human geniuses hadn't discussed any secret codes beforehand.What Li An had scribbled wasn't some mysterious rune, but an emoji.It was often posted in the Sanctuary Geniuses group.A husky pointed its finger to the side, its eyes wide open. It was said to be from a legendary figure who created the eternal and unchanging super law—the Law of True Fragrance.However, Li An had no talent for painting, so the final result was blurry. It was only when Frost and Snow used elements to outline it that it even resembled it.And the dog's finger pointed towards the main path.Lin Shuang raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "You make this kind of symbol, aren't you afraid that other races will notice it?"Li An glanced at him and said, "Are you aware of what this symbol is?""If you don't know, just be quiet."Lin Shuang fell silent again.Then the three of them continued on their way.They continued to walk deeper into the second level, leaving behind immortal dogs to guide the way.On the way, Lin Shuang would take Li An along side roads to dig for gold. If it wasn't on the main path, she wouldn't take him. He stayed only on the main road. Anyone who saw him could follow the symbol to find him.He quietly touched the gold, waiting for the person to reach him.Hopefully, Lin He would hurry.Meanwhile.At the second-floor gate.Zhao Shaolong walked forward without looking back, neatly passing over the symbol.Who would pay attention to the evil thoughts on the wall?Walking in the primeval forest, who would notice how the crooked branches were bent? What angle?He must be crazy.Unless the pattern was so conspicuous, so deeply imprinted in their genes, that they could be recognized even if it turned to ash."Hmm?"Zhao Shaolong frowned after taking only two steps forward.He felt his soul stir in that moment.It was as if something, touching his DNA, passed before him.It felt like a dog was pointing at me?"Something's wrong."Zhao Shaolong took two more steps back, glancing left and right. After a long glance, he finally made out the image through the cracks in the wall.He pointed at the wall, stunned."Great, great, that's how it's done, huh?""It must be Li An. He loves posting this dead dog."He couldn't help but laugh, and followed the path the dog had pointed.He wasn't the only one.The geniuses who arrived at the second floor one after another noticed the dead dog.No one could have imagined it.It was a dog and an emoji that gave the geniuses of the human world their direction.Emperor Qi, who was trying to grasp the overall situation, was bewildered.How could these humans suddenly know the way?Unfortunately, there are some things only humans can understand.Time passed.Li An didn't encounter anyone else along the way.Perhaps he really was the one walking the fastest.Until one day, a sudden gust of wind blew.The wind surged through the narrow corridor.Lin Shuang frowned.Li An smiled and turned to face the wind. In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared before him.Lin He!He looked at Li An and asked succinctly, "What's your plan?"Li An said seriously, "I'll reach the entrance to the third floor as quickly as possible.""Then, block the door. Kill anyone who comes.""I need you to bring everyone here and assemble them.""Okay!" Lin He nodded heavily.He began running again, his speed approaching that of light.Lin Shuang couldn't help but exclaim, "So fast."Without the elements of space and light, relying solely on his legs, could an eighteen or nineteen-year-old achieve such speed? Li An chuckled, "Like I said, my human world is blessed with talented people and beautiful scenery.""Let's go, to the entrance to the third level!"Lin Shuang suddenly said, "We might be the fastest. Should we go to the third level first and search for all the remaining resources?""The others won't be able to catch up. By the time we're done searching, we'll definitely be in time."Li An shook his head, "Better safe than sorry.""But opening a treasure chest doesn't require three people.""Go by yourself.""Shuangxue and I will block the door.""Wait until you're done searching."Lin Shuang frowned, saying, "Are the two of you enough?"Li An patted Shuangxue's head and said, "You don't trust me, but you don't trust her either?""Okay."Lin Shuang nodded.
