Chapter 833: Chapter 833: Collar
The bloody smell in the Stone Chamber finally dissipated.
Six people sat around the fire, silently roasting it.

After an unknown amount of time, Du Lai spoke, “When do we leave?”
Originally the most patient of them all, he was now incredibly anxious, wanting nothing more than to leave as soon as possible.
“Wait until Mark wakes up,” Bai Youwei said softly, “or you can carry him.”
Du Lai smiled coolly, “I’m afraid that if he wakes up halfway, he might bite through my neck.”
...
Bai Youwei thought for a moment, then took something out of her bag and put it on the unconscious Mark.
Du Lai asked, “What is that?”
“A dog collar,” Bai Youwei said, head lowered as she fastened the leather band tightly.
[Pet Collar: Wearing the collar doesn’t necessarily make one obedient, but at least it can stop attacks, lasting until the collar is removed.]
This was an item she had gotten from the White Gloves. Having won against the White Gloves last time, she obtained quite a few items, all with various effects. Although there were many types, only the right timing and application would bring out an item’s full utility.
Du Lai then asked her, “Can this thing be used on the Minotaur?”
“…It can,” Bai Youwei looked up at him, “but the prerequisite is, you can put it on the Minotaur and ensure the Minotaur doesn’t break the collar.”
The collar’s effect could only guarantee that the wearer wouldn’t attack, but it didn’t guarantee that the wearer wouldn’t damage the collar.
Moreover, given the Minotaur’s size, for Du Lai to successfully fasten this small object around its neck would be no easy task, whereas for someone like Mark who was exhausted, it would be difficult to remove the collar.
Du Lai became silent, saying no more.
After Bai Youwei finished putting the collar on Mark, she looked at everyone, “We can set off now, shall we go now?”
“Let’s go. Waiting here is a waste of time,” Leonid stood up and picked up Mark from the ground, carrying him on his back, and said, “This kid, I’ll carry him. Although he’s half mad, he can save our lives at a critical moment.”
Everyone listened in silence.
To be honest, that statement was somewhat underhanded, Leonid’s meaning was clear, he wanted to use Mark to secure a chance of survival for everyone.
Although vile, it was also inevitable. Once the Minotaur caught up to them, unless there was a death, the doors in the Stone Chamber wouldn’t open! One way or another, someone had to die!
Bai Youwei said, “I’ll try my best not to let it catch up to us. If we’re lucky… maybe we’ll find the Magic Sword on the way.”
The hero in the mural killed the Minotaur with the Magic Sword.
But they had no idea where the sword was. Maybe with luck, they would stumble upon it in one of the Stone Chambers; maybe without luck… they would never find it.
Bai Youwei led the group away from the teleportation spot.
She deliberately counted their steps, marking their path with keys, circling within the maze. Whenever they were close to being cornered, they would head for the nearest teleportation spot, thus widening the distance from the Minotaur.
After walking through sixty or seventy Stone Chambers, the Minotaur still hadn’t caught up to them, and the map in Bai Youwei’s hand grew increasingly complete.
She also found several new keys, but still had not found that sword.
Could it be the Magic Sword didn’t exist?
Bai Youwei began to doubt, but if there was no Magic Sword, how would they solve the impasse when they encountered the Minotaur? Was someone’s death truly necessary? She simply couldn’t figure it out.
Another door lay before them. Bai Youwei gently pushed it open, about to toss a chick inside to investigate, but to her surprise, this Stone Chamber emitted a faint light.
All the other chambers were pitch black.
Everyone was stunned, standing at the doorway and observing for a moment before realizing – this was the Stone Chamber with the mural!
Hanging from the pillar in the center of the Stone Chamber were four oil lamps! Therefore, this Stone Chamber was lit!
“It’s that room we entered when we first came into the maze!” Asarina couldn’t hide her excitement.
Relief washed over the faces of the others.
Because in this room, there was an exit!
Even though they hadn’t collected all the keys and couldn’t open the iron door, just looking at it gave them hope!
