Chapter 56: The Chance to Escape!

Lin An was ecstatic after he broke through the golden core stage. He then spent another two hours learning the profound flame transformation technique he had obtained in the pyramid.
Finally, he examined the new weapon he had chosen, the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword.
The blade was like a kind of metal, but it felt like a stone to the touch. It was the normal weight of a treasured sword, and a faint energy fluctuation revolved around its sharp tip.
Additionally, there was a long, transparent, white crystal in the middle of the treasured sword. Lin An didn’t know its purpose, and he didn’t have the time to investigate the sword’s other features.
A day had passed since he had exited the pyramid. Unsurprisingly, there were only one-tenth of the disciples left in the yellow desert, and they were mostly cultivators who had hang around the oasis and declined to enter the pyramids. In fact, there were very few cultivators who had actually entered the pyramids and secured treasures.
“Senior Brother Lin An!”
As he walked along the oasis, Lin An heard a familiar voice call out to him. When he turned around, he saw a handsome-looking boy.
It was Junior Brother Zhou from the neighboring Purple Clouds Peak. Usually, when Lin An refined pills, he would visit the Purple Clouds Peak to borrow some herbs.
Junior Brother Zhou was the disciple responsible for the Purple Clouds Peak’s herb warehouse. Because of his benevolence, Lin An could always borrow the required herbs from the Purple Clouds Peak. However, Junior Brother Zhou was also frequently punished for his generosity.
During Lin An’s last trip to the Purple Clouds Peak, Junior Brother Zhou had been in the foundation establishment cultivation stage. Lin An hadn’t expected that he would actually advance to the golden core stage and enter the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm. It seemed that Junior Brother Zhou’s cultivation aptitude was quite good, and his improvement speed was very fast.
When Lin An recalled the numerous times that Junior Brother Zhou had been beaten up by his master because of lending him some medicinal herbs, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Oh, what a coincidence. Isn’t this Junior Brother Zhou? Why are you guarding that entrance?”
Junior Brother Zhou was guarding the entrance to one of the pyramids.
It was a common practice among most sects for their disciples to guard the pyramids and prevent others from entering and obstructing their own sect members from passing the trials in the pyramids and securing the treasures.
“Senior Sister Lan Qi is taking on the test inside this pyramid. I’ve been guarding the door, but she has already been inside for a day and hasn’t returned. I don’t know if the challenge is going well.”
Junior Brother Zhou had a worried expression on his face, and he stared at Lin An with a pleading look in his eyes.
Lin An instantly understood what he meant.
Junior Brother Zhou was worried because his Senior Sister hadn’t come out of the pyramid, and he feared that something bad had happened to her.
However, he wasn’t capable enough to go in and help her. Coincidentally, he had seen Lin An wandering around the oasis, so he had called out to him, hoping that Lin An could go in and save Senior Sister Lan Qi.
When he thought about how he had usually caused the junior brother to get into trouble, Lin An kindly said, “Then why don’t I go in and take a look for you? However, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to bring your Senior Sister out.”
Junior Brother Zhou hurriedly bowed to Lin An. “In that case, thank you very much, Senior Brother!”
Lin An waved his hand as he walked past Junior Brother Zhou and entered the pyramid.
After walking through a long corridor, he arrived at a collapsed stone hall. Lin An stood onto a high place and looked around. Soon, he located Senior Sister Lan Qi.
Although Junior Brother Zhou had called her his senior sister, Lin An was the eldest Jiuxiao Sect disciple among them. Therefore, to him, Lan Qi was actually his junior sister.
In the center of the hall, there was a sinking structure that was fifty meters long and fifty meters wide, and more than ten meters deep. Inside the sinking structure, there was a game titled ‘pushing boxes.’ Lan Qi appeared to be trapped in the game.
She had played the game for an entire day and night, but she still couldn’t clear the level. Although her gaming skills were weak, most cultivators couldn’t navigate through the levels, due to its tricky puzzle-like formations.
“Hey!” Lin An playfully shouted at Lan Qi. “Junior Sister Lan Qi, you’re really enjoying yourself. Haven’t you had enough? If you continue to push forward, you won’t be able to clear the level.”
Lan Qi, quickly raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice.
When she saw that it was Lin An, she immediately scowled.
“How did you get in? Where’s Junior Brother Zhou? I don’t need your help, leave this place quickly!”
Even though she had been trapped in the game for a day and a night, Lan Qi’s first reaction was still to worry that Lin An, who had suddenly appeared in the pyramid, would snatch the opportunity that she was trying to obtain.
“I have already defeated Junior Brother Zhou. He told me that you were here to pass the test, so I’m here to help you! Listen to my command, now push towards the box on the left!”
When Lan Qi heard that Junior Brother Zhou had already been defeated by Lin An, her mind went blank. She didn’t know what Lin An’s words meant, but an immense feeling of grief immediately surged in her heart. How could she still listen to Lin An’s command, even if she was trapped in the puzzle game.
She couldn’t accept his help, and she instantly pushed the box to the right.
“Hey! You pushed the wrong box! I don’t have an accent. Didn’t you hear me clearly when I told you to push towards the left? Now, I’ll help you adjust your route. Push the next box to the back!”
Even after Lin An shouted a new set of instructions, Lan Qi immediately pushed the box to the front.
“Hey! Wrong again. Push the next box to the left!”
To Lin An’s surprise, Lan Qi followed his instructions and pushed the box to the left as he had said.
She then turned her head and glared at Lin An. “Don’t think that you can manipulate my actions just because you entered the pyramid. I’ll push as you say, and then I’ll do the opposite. Let’s see how you’re going to get me out of here!”
Lin An was suddenly confused. He didn’t know why Lan Qi had a negative attitude towards him.
However, he was still determined to rescue her from the trap.
Abruptly, the success rate system lit up in front of his eyes.
[The probability of successfully escaping by pushing left is 45%. The probability of successfully escaping by not pushing left is 52%. The probability of the other party following the order to go left is 74%.]
[The probability of successfully escaping by pushing to the right is 61%. The probability of successfully escaping by not pushing to the right is 32%. The probability of the other party following the order to the right is 41%.]
[The probability of successfully escaping by pushing forward is 54%. The probability of successfully escaping by not pushing forward is 48%. The probability of the other party following the order to the right is 74%.]
[The probability of successfully escaping by pushing backward is 31%. The probability of successfully escaping by not pushing backward is 71%. The probability of the other party obeying the order to move backward is 21%.]
Immediately, Lin An shouted, “Junior Sister Lan Qi, push back the next box!”
When Lan Qi heard the instruction, she immediately pushed the box to the right.
Suddenly, her probability of successfully escaping the trap increased to 61%.
‘Hehe, you want to fight with me?’
Lin An grinned when he saw that Lan Qi was still in a defiant mood. After she moved the box, the success rate probability of the next step appeared in front of his eyes again.
“Next step forward!”
“Next step backward!”
“Next step backward!”
“Next step forward to the right!”
With the support of the success rate system, Lin An guided Lan Qi step by step towards the direction of clearing the level.
