"Waaah, it's all my fault. I'm so incompetent and weak. I insisted on coming out. Otherwise, my brother wouldn't have come here and wouldn't have encountered danger."

"It's not your fault, it's really not your fault. Your brother doesn't blame you either. Don't be sad."

Seeing her cry, he was almost at his wit's end.

They soon arrived at the place where they had separated from the Northwest, but there was no one there anymore.

The discovery of demon corpses nearby, without finding any other bodies, suggests that Northwest was likely rescued.

"My brother, my brother is alright, right? He was rescued, right?"

"Yes, so you don't need to worry too much now. He's really fine. As long as we find him safely, that's all that matters."

"Okay, I will definitely find him safely, I definitely will, and then we can all get out safely."

So many people have died these past few days that Xiyi has been traumatized.

She was terrified that someone next to her might suddenly die at any moment, feeling that none of it was real, yet it all happened.

So she grabbed Feng Qing's sleeve tightly.

...

Achoo!

Shen Hua rubbed her nose. Had she sneezed? Had someone been cursing at her again?

They had reached the edge of the desert; if they continued forward, they would enter the desert.

"Should we go in? There might be people inside?" Northwest asked uncertainly.

Shen Hua closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then said, "Yes, we need to go in. There are many uncertain elements in the desert."

"Alright, let's set off now."

After crossing the desert, they arrived at the huge pit and stopped beside it.

Judging from the form of the desert, it can be seen that some of it collapsed later.

Moreover, it is highly likely that someone has died here. If someone hadn't stepped over this spot, so much wouldn't have collapsed.

"This crater is so big, how are we going to get across it?"

Chen Hua: "You want to go there?"

"Aren't we going? Are we going back?" Northwest asked curiously.

However, after asking the question, he felt that going back or finding another way was also an option, and that he had asked an idiotic question.

"No need, just close your eyes."

Northwest obediently closed his eyes, and then felt a dizzying sensation. When Shen Hua told him to open his eyes again, he found that the scene had changed.

"What... what's going on? How did we suddenly change locations? Where is this?"

Suddenly, I felt panicked because the place looked dark and somewhat like an ancient tomb.

Chen Hua: ...

So timid?

"Where is it? It's probably under the desert!"

After giving a brief explanation, Shen Hua walked to the stone gate to look at the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation. The dust on it was of varying thickness, indicating that someone had touched it.

So someone really did come here, but she just noticed a few corpses in the desert, so it was a stroke of luck that she was able to come here.

Let's go!

At that moment, she opened the door and saw Northwest still standing there in a daze, and reminded him of something.

"Oh, oh, here it comes."

He seemed a little unsettled, but since Chen Hua had already left, he was a bit scared and quickly followed.

"Watch your step, it's quite dusty, don't slip and fall."

Then one of them walked in front and the other followed behind. Shen Hua walked very slowly, which allowed Northwest to keep up. If she were walking at her own pace, Northwest would not be able to keep up.

Soon, they walked through the long corridor and arrived at the dilapidated house. However, there was not much dust inside; in fact, it was quite clean, but there was hardly anyone there.

Someone used to live here, but that person has left or gone out and hasn't come back.

This place must be kept so clean if someone lives here. Who could be living here?

"Someone used to live here. If we wait here, will that person come back?"

“Possibly, why don’t you wait here?” Shen Hua said after his words.

Northwest glanced at the dark, dimly lit area around him, then decisively shook his head and said, "No, no need. Let's go out and look for him! What if he's already gone?"

Chen Hua: ...

Instead of going back the way she came, she stayed here to look for other ways out.

After walking for a while, they found a secret passage under the bed. It wasn't big, but it was big enough for one person to pass through.

"The design here is quite ingenious; even the touch screen appears."

"Let's go over and take a look."

Shen Hua knew that he wouldn't have the courage to go first, so she was the first to leave.

There was a lot of dust inside, which could easily splash onto her, so she created a small barrier to surround it.

When she was almost out of the cave, she had nothing to eat, but Northwest had become ashen.

"Cough cough cough, there's so much dust in here."

He wanted to switch to a different cleaning technique, and his body immediately became clean.

"That's amazing! Can you teach me? I want to learn."

"Can't."

Shen Hua looked directly at the scene outside. She saw the waterfall and heard the sound of water. This was indeed a nice place.

In stark contrast to the outside scene, several pieces of clothing were hanging not far away, indicating that people still live here.

“There are people living over there, let’s go over there.”

Northwest was quite anxious because they couldn't find his sister in the direction they were heading. Although he had drawn away the demons, there were still other dangers.

He was always worried when he wasn't by his side.

I ran over there first. There were clothes, but no one was there. There were also footprints on the ground.

"The person is not here."

Shen Hua saw it.

"This person should come back. We'll wait here."

After saying that, he found a place to sit down.

Northwest couldn't sit down like her; he could only wander around the area to familiarize himself with the surroundings and find it quite comfortable to be here.

...

"Why? Why did you have to stop me?" Shang Wenwen said, feeling very upset.

"There's no reason why. I'm sorry to people. It was my own choice. You don't need to blame yourself."

Shang Wenwen was somewhat out of control and didn't want to support him, but he looked so weak that if she didn't help him, he would only fall to the ground and worsen his injuries.

The demons were still eyeing her menacingly, especially one of them who looked at her with a gaze that seemed to want to devour her.

"I feel guilty? I don't feel guilty at all. We never had any relationship to begin with."

Shang Wenwen laid the person down on the ground, then faced off against the demons, none of whom could survive.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she rushed forward with her weapon in hand.

The demons were not to be outdone and fought back. Shang Wenwen's strength had undergone a qualitative leap, and she wiped out two demons in an instant.
