C4 (2/2)

We can't stop him even if he wants to jump off the cliff. This Sunset Cliff is so deep that we can't see the bottom, not to mention a mere early Houtian realm boy like him, even a Xiantian realm expert wouldn't be able to survive if they fell down. I don't believe that the other party will go against my Shadow Door just for this! Ying Forty-nine sinisterly laughed, and then left with the other four people without turning back.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Mu blurrily opened his eyes. The moment he regained consciousness, his first feeling was pain, especially to his head. The pain made him grind his teeth, and after the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the pain slowly faded away.

Li Mu also didn't know why he hadn't died yet. After carefully thinking about it, he only remembered that before he fainted, he seemed to have been swept away by a strange air current, and finally fainted upon colliding with something. Other than that, he had no other impression of himself.

Using the light rays coming from the hole, Li Mu was able to see his current environment. This was a cave, the cave was not wide, it was only about three to four meters, but it was very long, with no end in sight.

”What is this place!?” It should not be the bottom of Sunset Peak! ”

Li Mu slowly stood up, he was in a sorry state, his clothes were tattered and his blood stained all over, many parts of his body were rubbed together, but luckily, all of them were small injuries and not even his bones and muscles.

After walking around, Li Mu did not discover anything special. This cave was very ordinary, other than a few tunnels in front of him that led to some unknown places, there was nothing special about it.

In the end, Li Mu walked to the entrance of the cave where the light was coming from. Generally speaking, a place with light would be the exit.

”Holy sh * t!” When he reached the cave entrance, he could not help but curse. This cave entrance was actually opened at the edge of a cliff. If he was not careful and did not step out, he might have fallen off by now.

”Could it be …” Could it be that this cave is located on the precipice of Sunset Peak? ”

”Yes!” This must be the only explanation. I clearly fell off a cliff, but I didn't die, so I must have been caught in the air by some kind of air current and was sucked into this cave! ”

Li Mu had already roughly guessed the cause and effect of the matter. While feeling deeply that he had not died from the calamity, he was also feeling depressed, because he didn't know how he should leave this place.

”We don't know the bottom of this place until we reach the top. I don't know how high we are above the ground. Unless we put on wings, there's no way we can leave this place!”

Li Mu didn't know whether this was luck or sadness, but he was currently in a dilemma.

”I can't hope to leave through this entrance, but I don't know if there are any other exits. Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well explore for a while.” Li Mu pondered for a while as he walked into a passage at the other end of the cave.

The cave was connected in all directions, it was unknown if it was man-made or natural, but as they went deeper, Li Mu's face became more and more unsightly.

This cave seemed to have no end, not to mention how far the passage was, but the fact that this passage was connected to all directions and there were many forks in the road, making it seem as if there was no end to it. Even with Li Mu's astonishing memory, under the dim light, he had no choice but to stop.

”This cave must have been man-made, otherwise it would have been so difficult!” Li Mu muttered to himself, just as he was hesitating about how to escape from the trap, his expression suddenly changed, and became surprised.

”The fifteenth time! There are actually rules to follow. ” Li Mu muttered to himself. The reason he said that was because ever since he entered the tunnel, he would occasionally feel a hot wind blowing out from the depths of the tunnel.

This hot wind was not strong, so strong that normal people would not be able to feel it. In the beginning, Li Mu did not pay too much attention to it, but many times, he was able to clearly feel it through his sharp senses.

”Logically speaking, a place with wind should also be the exit location. Since there's a pattern, we might as well use it as a clue to keep going forward!”

Li Mu thought for a while before making up his mind. He headed towards the direction of the hot wind.

Just like this, Li Mu followed the hot wind that spread out once in a while to determine the direction they were coming from, and walked for nearly an hour.

”Why is it so hot, could the source of the hot wind be a fire pulse?” Li Mu wiped the sweat off his face, looking at the tunnel that he could not see the end of it with shock.

As Li Mu went deeper and deeper, he realized that the temperature in the cave was growing higher and higher, as though he was nearing a huge stove. If not for the fact that his body was being trained in the solid state, he might not be able to hold on.

After he walked forward for another few hundred meters, a terrifying heat wave pervaded the entire passage, and the beads of sweat that were as big as beans continuously dripped from Li Mu's face.

Li Mu felt like he was in a furnace, no matter how strong his body was after breaking through to the tenth layer of the solid state, it was still unbearable under this kind of terrifying temperature.

”What kind of place is this? Why is it so hot? Could it be that this is the heart of a volcano? I've never heard of the name Sunset Peak being a volcano!”

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Li Mu panted heavily. He even suspected that he would die from dehydration before he could reach his destination.

”Hmm? There was light! Could it be an exit!? ” Just as Li Mu was deciding whether or not he should continue, a fiery red light suddenly appeared in front of him.
