Turning his attention away from the wooden door at the end of the staircase, Chu Yang turned around and looked back towards the path leading out of the underground space on the other side of the small room.
Even though he was only separated from that path by a few meters, he understood that the moment he took a step forward, he would find himself back inside the maze that he had just barely managed to escape from.
Outside of the danger associated with entering the maze again, he also worried that the maze would change around the moment he took a step back into it. After all, he had seen how the maze had changed around him while he had been moving through it not long ago and he really didn't plan on going back into the maze just after he had managed to make it out. Especially so considering that he had no guarantee that he would be able to make it out alive again.
