Qin Shi habitually checked his own state, and there was nothing seriously wrong, he was at the peak of combat.
The boundary monument instrument he had opened was providing weak yet stable position indications.
However, its marked baseline was far away, and the signal was intermittent, like a candle flickering in the wind.
"I must move forward."
Qin Shi remained calm; he couldn't possibly wait here for rescue, as a trapped ending in the labyrinth was destined, with only a dead-end to choose.
"I must find an exit or locate the labyrinth's core..."
Qin Shi acted silently, the scorched earth around him was boundless, with deathly silence as the only main theme.
There was no wind here, no extraneous noise, only the subtle crunch as his boot soles crushed the soil.
Time completely lost meaning here; the numbers on the boundary monument instrument fluctuated unpredictably, sometimes rapidly increasing, sometimes nearly stagnant.
