Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 483 Snake Cave

Ning Fan is quite adaptable to the dark and humid environment of the snake cave.

For more than a year, Ning Fan found himself in a similar environment every day after falling asleep.

Chong Wujie has been around for almost four months.

What made Ning Fan a little strange was that Chong Wujie didn't seem to have any intention of disappearing.

Jian Wuchou appeared for only three months before leaving the sword coffin.

Mu Wutian existed for more than half a year.

Ning Fan asked Chong Wujie if the souls that appeared later would stay longer.

Chong Wujie’s answer was that he didn’t know.

Ning Fan didn't doubt his answer.

Chong Wujie is different from Jian Wuchou and Mu Wutan.

This guy is very talkative.

Of course, being talkative doesn't mean being simple.

Most of the things he talked about with Ning Fan were irrelevant.

Whenever Ning Fan asked a key question, Chong Wujie pretended not to hear it and changed the topic to continue chatting with Ning Fan.

You definitely can't stop talking.

But nothing that Ning Fan wanted to hear would come out of his mouth.

So, now in the sword coffin, Ning Fan has become the taciturn person.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chong Wujie.

The car has entered the depths of the snake cave.

The stench became stronger and stronger, and along the way, Ning Fan also saw countless mutilated corpses.

Some of the corpses have become dry bones covered with dried blood.

Even on the bones, you can see some marks of being bitten by sharp teeth.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe this scene as purgatory.

If Lin Chuan had chosen this path back then, Ning Fan, with his temperament at the time, would have been terrified by the scene...

At this time, a figure appeared in front of the car.

Qiao Fei.

Huizi was stunned.

Just now, Qiao Fei took two people from [Sha] to clear the way, why did she come back alone?

Yan Feng, who was behind, was also shocked when he saw this situation.

"Sister Fei, what's going on?"

Ning Fan signaled Huizi to stop the car, then stuck his head out and asked Qiao Fei, "Are you in trouble?"

"no."

There was a hint of sadness in Qiao Fei's eyes.

Ning Fan hadn't just grown from his experiences during this period.

Qiao Fei's character has also become much more resilient than before.

She rarely shows her emotional changes in front of outsiders.

Just when Ning Fan and others were curious, Qiao Fei opened his hands.

A pack of cigarettes appeared in her hand.

A blood-stained cigarette box.

When they saw the cigarette box, the others didn't react much, but Huizi widened his eyes and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"This, this is the cigarette that Brother Chuan...smoked often."

Instantly, Ning Fan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Brother Chuan...

"Where did you find it?"

Huizi got out of the car excitedly, his eyes instantly turning red.

Qiao Fei pointed to the back: "In a corner."

"Is there... anyone near this cigarette box?"

Huizi was shaking more and more violently.

Qiao Fei couldn't calm down either.

She bit her lip tightly and shook her head: "No, there are only a lot of... snake corpses."

Huizi breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was still difficult to control my trembling.

He looked at Ning Fan, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Ning Fan, at that time... we didn't come here to look for it..."

Ning Fan's lips trembled unconsciously.

After Lin Chuan disappeared, they searched for him in the Ghost Mist Forest for a long time.

Later I also went to the Soul Return Basin.

But, I didn’t come to the snake cave.

If the owner of this pack of cigarettes is really Lin Chuan, then that means...

There is a chance to find him.

"Sister Fei, take me to see it."

Ning Fan suppressed his turbulent emotions and said to Qiao Fei, "Confirm whether this pack of cigarettes belongs to Brother Chuan."

Qiao Fei nodded.

This time, only Ning Fan and Huizi went with Qiao Fei.

After everyone left, Jia Hu looked at Xu Ben curiously.

"Who is this Brother Chuan they're talking about?"

"Former captain of [Wild Dog House]."

Xu Ben sighed softly: "I heard that he disappeared before."

Jia Hu narrowed his eyes and watched the backs of the people leaving. He thought for a long time, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

"Then...it's better if they don't find this person."

Xu Ben was startled and looked at Jia Hu.

Jia Hu seemed to be talking to himself.

"If we find him, who will be in charge?"

Qiao Fei walked in front, and Ning Fan and Huizi behind him did not speak along the way.

"That's it."

Qiao Fei stopped and pointed to a corner.

Ning Fan looked over.

Just as Qiao Fei said, there were no human corpses here, but instead a large number of snake corpses piled up.

Let’s not talk about whether we can judge whether Lin Chuan was here before by looking at a pack of cigarettes.

At the very least, it proves that someone must have stayed here for a while and killed these snakes.

Ning Fan's mood was complicated.

On the one hand, he hoped that this person was Lin Chuan.

Because there are no bodies here.

That proves that Brother Chuan is still alive.

But on the other hand, according to the monkey from [War Bear], Lin Chuan was already dying after fighting with Su Bei.

There is only one possibility of killing so many snakes in that state.

Lin Chuan is indeed a strange person.

Thinking of those weird people I saw in Guiji...

Ning Fan didn't want Brother Chuan to become like that from the bottom of his heart.
