Ouyang Jing stared at us, her eyes filled with determination.
"The energy of this maze is about to go out of control. If we don't do something soon, the whole world will suffer."
"So I'm helping you; it saves myself and protects this world."
Suddenly, Ouyang Jing held a shiny gem in her hand.
"This is the heart of the maze; it can temporarily suppress the maze's energy."
"However, its energy is limited, so we need to hurry and find something called Dream Key."
As Ouyang Jing finished speaking, the maze began to shake, and cracks in the walls looked like monstrous teeth, sending chills down our spines.
The guardians became increasingly fierce, their eyes filled with a murderous desire.
"We need to get moving!"
Zhao Lan shouted loudly.
Ouyang Jing led us through the maze, dodging the endless traps and attacks.
Under her guidance, we finally found a door hidden in a corner.
The pattern on the door was identical to that of the Maze Heart.
Fog spread around us, and the scenery ahead became blurry, feeling like we were dreaming.
Zhao Lan gripped her weapon tightly, always alert for any potential danger around us.
Ouyang Jing stood beside me, her eyes emitting a faint glow in the fog as if searching for something.
"Everyone, stay vigilant and don't let this fog confuse you," she quietly reminded us.
I nodded and tightened my grip on the Maze Heart, its light standing out vividly in the mist.
Suddenly, an overwhelming presence approached us.
"Is someone over there?"
Zhao Lan exclaimed in surprise.
A figure slowly emerged from the fog.
He walked with a particularly steady demeanor, his eyes filled with a sense of provocation.
"Han Mo?"
Zhao Lan and I exchanged glances, filled with questions and unease.
"I'm here to stop you from acting."
Han Mo said coldly.
"What exactly do you want?"
Zhao Lan asked seriously.
"The Dream Key is not something people like you should be trying to seize."
A hint of mockery played at the corners of Han Mo's mouth.
"Unfortunately, our goals are actually the same."
"We're both trying to escape this maze."
"But there is only one Dream Key."
"We're bound to have a showdown."
Ouyang Jing looked at Han Mo, her eyes revealing complex emotions.
"Han Mo, the power of the Dream Key should not be misused."
"Do you really think you can control it?"
A glint of cunning flashed in Han Mo's eyes.
"Who said I want to control it?"
"I just need to harness its power to break free from this maze's constraints."
I whispered, "It seems there's no room for negotiation between us anymore."
"Then get ready for the battle ahead."
"Do you really think that with your fragile trust, as weak as tofu, you can find the Dream Key?"
The voice of Han Mo echoed back and forth in the thick fog, his shadow becoming indistinct within the mist, as if it could vanish at any moment.
"You people are nothing but a bunch of strangers who came together just because you heard about a Dream Key."
"The connections between you are thinner than paper; they would shatter at the slightest touch."
"If something really happened, you would definitely turn on each other and abandon one another."
"You never truly believed in each other."
"You are merely a group of lonely, unanchored souls," Zhao Lan said coldly.
"Our trust in each other doesn't need your interference."
"We're a team!" Ouyang Jing said with a smile.
"Our strength comes entirely from this trust between us."
Murong Qing's tone was equally resolute.
"What you said cannot shake our determination."
The four of us exchanged glances, and in that moment, we all understood that our trust in each other was real.
