Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen both appeared silently next to Tang Xiu. Both of them wore similarly strange expressions and looked at Tang Xiu with inquisitive eyes.

"You guessed it right, guys. That's that Fire Qilin," whispered Tang Xiu. "It's just I never thought this guy was so powerful. It didn't seem it wanted to kill us then, else we'd have died in its hand no matter how fast we ran."

"Well, could it be that the natural array outside the underground labyrinth was broken?" asked Miao Wentang in a whisper. "How could it come out, then?"

"My guess is that natural array didn't trap it, but instead has been used by this thing to block outsiders from entering the underground space to enter its nest," answered Tang Xiu. "However, although its strength is powerful, it is just on par with that demonic beast and even slightly weaker."
