Chapter 865 - This Is Flame City (2/2)

“Huh?” Parker scratched his head. Looking at her tear-stained face, his heart felt even sweeter than the milk he drank earlier.

“Don’t you know to check the spousal mark?” Parker asked.

Bai Qingqing picked An’an up. “I was too anxious and forgot to check.”

Parker felt even happier and took a long and meaningful glance at Curtis, saying, “When Curtis went down earlier, you still remembered to check the spousal mark.”

“That’s because Curtis can hold his breath,” Bai Qingqing said.

Hearing that, he felt at ease before even feeling unhappy.

Parker ignored what Bai Qingqing said and was immersed in self-satisfaction.

“The reason I pulled at the rope is that I didn’t wish to be pulled out. But later on, I realized that I couldn’t hold it back and thus let go. But before you guys pulled the rope away, I estimated its remaining length and continued digging downward.”

“So, that’s how it is.” Bai Qingqing nodded, wiping off her tears with the back of her hand. She then asked, “Then, did you manage to find anything?”

Parker shook his head and then looked toward Curtis. “Where on earth did you go?”

Curtis said, “When I went down, the quicksand river was very deep. That’s why I let go of the rope midway. You won’t be able to dig your way down.”

“Then, how did our food get taken away?” Bai Qingqing asked.

“It’s because the world below is moving as well,” Curtis said with certainty. “I didn’t smell the scent of the beastmen that I got from the rope earlier.”

“The world below?”

Bai Qingqing, Parker, and Alva were all stunned.

Parker and Alva thought, Not only are there beastmen living under the sand, there is even a world?

Bai Qingqing thought, Could it be the legendary Hell?

Curtis broke into a smile and threw out another bomb at them. “This place is Flame City!”
