Chapter 428

…

Mu Jiao recalled that before she was unconscious, no, before she was knocked unconscious, she only heard some movement at the door. It was Qi Mi, the hired man who kidnapped her, who had arrived. She knew nothing about what happened afterwards.

I touched my eyes and found that the structure was intact (my eyeballs had not been gouged out). I felt them and didn't feel any discomfort.

So, there was only one possibility: I was thrown into a "very dark place". Of course, there was a small possibility that there was indeed something wrong with my eyes.

At this moment, Mu Jiao was extremely grateful that she had taken the elective course "Rare Geographical Environments" for a semester, which allowed her to learn some theoretical knowledge about the "Darkest Places" so that she would not be completely clueless and understand nothing at this moment.

The "ultra-dark place" is composed of a black single-cell substance combined with some special dark micromolecules. It usually appears in the deep sea, underground, outer space, etc. The large ones in space can usually reach the area of ​​a small planet, and the small ones can even be only the size of a fingernail.

Because it was too dark, Mu Jiao couldn't be sure how big the place she was in was. However, there is a saying in Taoism that all things are interdependent and mutually exclusive. It is said that there is a kind of mica that can emit light growing underground in the darkest place. The closer this mica is to the surface, the softer the ground is.

Mu Jiao discovered that the place where she was sitting was very soft, which should be considered a blessing in disguise.

The ground was very soft, with a texture similar to fine sand, and was easy to dig. However, because Mu Jiao was so hungry that she didn't have much strength, digging was still a bit strenuous. Just when she felt she was about to give up, her hand finally felt something hard.

Mu Jiao's heart was filled with joy, and all her fatigue instantly disappeared. She couldn't wait to clean the sand on the surface, and saw a faint white light appear. At this moment, Mu Jiao was absolutely sure that her eyes were fine.

Seeing hope, Mu Jiao made persistent efforts and continued digging, and finally dug out a large piece of hexagonal mica. With this large piece of mica, the darkness was instantly dispelled and the surroundings suddenly became much brighter.

In the extremely dark place, any external light source is useless, and only this mica, which is mutually complementary and counteracting with it, can bring a ray of light to the creatures that stray into this place.

With Yunmu, Mu Jiao now had to think about how to get out. She touched her stomach which was aching from hunger and sighed. If she couldn't get out, she would starve to death in here.

I remember the instructor said in class that there are often wind currents in the "extremely dark places". In small "extremely dark places", it would be easy to find an exit if you go with the wind.

Looking around, Mu Jiao saw the darkness and had no idea how big the place was. However, there was indeed a breeze. Mu Jiao thought for a moment, but there was no good solution. She simply followed what she had heard in class and walked along the wind.

“Roar—”

Mu Jiao was running hard in front, and an unknown creature that was completely black except for its eyes that emitted golden light was chasing her.

At this moment, Mu Jiao was heartbroken. She didn't understand what went wrong.

About a quarter of an hour ago, Mu Jiao was still walking along the wind with Yun Mu in her arms, until she saw a large white light in front of her. Mu Jiao was delighted, thinking that she had seen the exit, so she hurried towards the white light.

Then, as she got closer, Mu Jiao realized that this was not a cave entrance, but several small hills made of mica. The white light she saw was also emitted by these mica. It was so dazzling that it illuminated a large area around it.
