“Miss Fang, forgive me!” Lonemoon gave Fang Fang a look, took her and followed. Only he lifted her instead.
The two went with a fast speed, yet after an hour of going along the direction of the underground river, they still didn’t see its end. By right, even for an underground river, it should flow into a main river, or the sea. They thought that they must have long gone beyond the city by now, yet they still didn’t find its end.
Chef leading the way in front suddenly paused, and turned to look at the cliff to his right.
“What’s wrong?” Lonemoon also stopped.
Yi Qing turned back and gave him a look. “The direction changed!”
Lonemoon was stunned. Sensing it carefully, he realized that indeed, the string of spirit qi changed course.
Yi Qing thought about it and then retreated a few steps and put down the person he held. “Master, please wait here for a moment, don’t go too near.” With that said, he stuffed a fruit into her hand.
“Oh.” Shen Ying took it and took two steps back.
Lonemoon also hurried to step back, dragging the girl Fang Fang with him.
Only then did Yi Qing take out a longsword from his storage bag and focused his spirit to shove it right at the cliff beside him. Though he couldn’t use spells, Chef with only his sword technique still opened up the whole cliff instantly. Large pieces of broken rocks rolled down, showing a passage forcefully opened by Sword Qi.
“Let’s go, Master.” Yi Qing put away his sword and turned back.
“Yup.” Shen Ying followed.
“Wait, wait for me!” Fang Fang anxiously walked forward a few steps and walked behind Shen Ying with some remaining fear.
Lonemoon had to walk at the end of the row.
This passage opened up by Chef wasn’t very wide. At first, it could only allow one person to pass, yet somehow the deeper they went, the wider it became. Even the light bead Lonemoon held in his hand didn’t seem able to light up the whole area around them.
Fang Fang looked even more scared and followed even closer. She even grabbed Shen Ying’s hand subconsciously. “Where… where is this place after all?”
“No idea!” replied Shen Ying. She still nibbled at the fruit, and there wasn’t the tiniest bit of panic on her face, as though she wasn’t at an unknown, dangerous place, but here for a purposeful tour.
The girl Fang Fang gave her a look, and somehow also seemed less scared herself. “Miss Shen is so brave. Even I am becoming less nervous.” She showed a friendly smile. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. “Oh yeah, I also bought a few pears beside the street this morning. Miss Shen likes fruits so much, would you like to taste it?” With that said, she immediately took out a pear from the bag she carried.
Yet Shen Ying didn’t look at that pear, but turned and looked straight at her. She didn’t respond for a long time. When the girl thought that she was going to refuse, she suddenly smiled, nodded and said, “Okay! Thank you!”
“You’re… you’re welcome.” Fang Fang returned her smile and turned to the front. Suddenly, her expression looked shocked as she said, “Hmm? Is there light in front? Are we… are we at the exit?”
