Chapter 664: Chapter 664 Big Sea Big Sea (For cloud extra addition)
A maze that only allows one king entry at a time.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo hadn’t anticipated this situation. They froze temporarily, finding it difficult to decide.
They were short on manpower.
If it were just one maze, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo along with Tan Xiao, Pan Xiaoxin, and Ya Chaohui would be sufficient. But now, they had to divide into two teams, immediately appearing thin on strengths.
A few subjects gathered around, attempting to negotiate with them: “Do you need to recruit?”
These people had been demoted from kings to subjects, not recruited by anyone, so they had no choice but to wander the main hall, seeking opportunities.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo wouldn’t have considered recruiting these unfamiliar people if they hadn’t been short on hands.
Fortunately, Bai Youwei recognized someone in the crowd. She saw Asarina and immediately waved at her: “Asarina!”
“It’s you!” Asarina spotted Bai Youwei as well and excitedly approached, bringing along two others. “Hey! You recruiting?”
“Entering the maze, will you?” Bai Youwei asked.
“Yes!” Asarina was straight to the point, making her offer. “Two puzzle pieces and a defensive item. If you recruit all three of us, you get a discount; one puzzle piece per person.”
Bai Youwei laughed, replying, “I’ll give you each two puzzle pieces, but I only have supplementary items. I don’t have many defensive ones.”
After some thought, Asarina nodded: “Deal!”
Shen Mo also managed to recruit two young men on his side.
He always had concerns for Bai Youwei and wanted to assign a resourceful person to stay by her side. Ya Chaohui was the most suitable candidate, but considering his grudge against Bai Youwei, Shen Mo could only keep him with himself.
As for Tan Xiao, despite his quick-witted adaptability, he was far too unpredictable and unreliable for protection duty.
Pan Xiaoxin was even less suitable; he was still a child.
Just as Shen Mo was in a quandary, Bai Youwei had already recruited three subjects. She told Shen Mo: “Let Xiaoxin join me; he is young if anything dangerous occurs, I can put him into the dollhouse.”
After some consideration, Shen Mo agreed and, while gripping her shoulder, reminded, “Be careful once you enter.”
“Uh-huh.” Bai Youwei took hold of Shen Mo’s hand, reluctant to let him go, “You too.”
Shen Mo led Ya Chaohui, Tan Xiao, and the two newly recruited subjects toward the maze near Qingdao.
Bai Youwei, along with Pan Xiaoxin, Asarina, and Asarina’s two followers, went to the maze near Zhou Mountain.
As she was about to enter, she couldn’t resist turning her head for one last look.
Perhaps it was a mutual sympathy, but Shen Mo also turned around, their eyes meeting.
If only for a brief moment, they exchanged knowing smiles.
Standing nearby, Asarina curiously wormed in, “That’s your boyfriend, huh? Quite handsome~”
A casual remark like that somehow lifted the gloom from Bai Youwei’s head from the previous night until today.
She chuckled and nodded: “Yeah, he’s quite handsome~”
“Oh, how nice it would be if I also had such a handsome boyfriend…” Asarina sighed.
The little guy in the front turned his head, “Jiwang elder brother, you said to wait until the surgery…”
“Shut up!” An annoyed Asarina interrupted, promptly smacking both of them on the head, “Did I ask for your reminder?!”
The other little follower covered his head in resentment: “I didn’t say anything…”
Upon seeing this, Pan Xiaoxin chuckled off to the side.
Bai Youwei also laughed, and wheeling towards the white mist, she said, “Let’s go; we are entering the maze.”
As the scenery in front of her changed, her balance suddenly shifted, and she fell off her wheelchair with a thump!
Those who entered with her also lost their balance and fell.
Then, Bai Youwei felt the sea breeze, salty and fishy air, damp and cold deck, and the crash of pounding waves.
She propped herself up on her elbows and looked forward.
This time, was the maze located on the vast sea?
