Yang Xing: Oh no!

The two were taken aback.

[Xiao He: What?]

Yang Xing: Those two idiots fell down...

[Xiao He: ? Where did it fall?]

Yang Xing: I don't know, there's no location information for them.

Xiao He: Alright, we'll go look for it in a bit. It's not safe here, you should move further away.

Yang Xing: OK! I'll wait for you from a bit further away.

After closing the chat window, Xiao He immediately checked the latest map sent by Yang Xing.

The Nanling Mountains are known as a "maze," and if even Yang Xing's "high-tech" equipment couldn't scan them, it can only mean that they probably fell into some cave.

Xiao He suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Before the "gold mine" could even be found, Jinling disappeared without a trace, along with a Muggle named Jiabo.

Wang Xuefeng retracted the mechanical wings, landed on a huge rock, and then put Xiao He down.

"Look, where should we start?"

"There are many caves visible here, so it's really hard to judge. Let's just go into one at random," Xiao He said, looking at the map.

"OK."

So the two of them randomly chose a cave and sneaked inside.

"How is it?" Xiao He asked.

Wang Xuefeng listened for a moment and said, "There's a sound, it's connected."

"Then let's go in and take a look." After saying that, Xiao He put the real-time map in the team's shared folder.

Even if it's a maze, they won't get lost if they have a map.

Wang Xuefeng nodded: "Let's go."

-

"Waaaaah..."

"It's all your fault! You insisted on looking! What were you looking at! Waaaaah..."

"I didn't do it on purpose!"

"If I wasn't afraid you'd fall and die, and I wouldn't be able to explain it to you, I wouldn't care about you at all! Waaah..."

"I've thanked you a thousand times and apologized a thousand times, can you please stop crying?"

"You heartless bastard! Thank goodness the engagement didn't happen! Waaaaah... You deserve it! Waaaaah..."

"..."

Jia Bo was disheveled and dejected, with Jin Ling following behind him, crying incessantly.

They've been lost for an hour, wandering around like they're on a tour of an anthill.

Jinling was so frightened that she cried because the cave was clearly not natural; it looked more like some kind of unknown nest.

The reason Jia Bo wasn't afraid was because the sound of crying made him question the meaning of life, and he had long forgotten what fear was.

The cave contained many glowing insect eggs. These insects, known as fluorescent insects, prefer to lay their eggs in dark, damp places and are large, non-toxic, and harmless.

It was by this light that the two were able to see the cave clearly.

Time passed second by second.

From the beginning of the day, to noon, to the afternoon, and then to the evening, the two of them walked and stopped.

When you're tired, you take a break, and when you're rested, you keep walking, but no matter how you walk, you can't get out.

Moreover, you can see the marks they left earlier from time to time, which clearly means that the two of them are navigating the maze.

"Waaaaah..."

Jinling decided to stay put and sat down on a rock, burying her face in her hands and crying.

The past ten hours had worn down her will, and now all she wanted to do was cry her heart out.

“Sigh…” Jia Bo sighed and walked to another stone next to her.

"Get away from me! Stay away from me!"

Jinling roared angrily, raising her leg to kick the stone away so that he could sit further away.

Unexpectedly, when he kicked it, the ground suddenly shook and the stone wall cracked everywhere.

"ah--"

The moment the feeling of weightlessness came over him, Jia Bo immediately grabbed her arm.

The two of them spun around and plummeted into the crevice beneath their feet...

-

"Damn it..."

Xiao He got up, looking completely bewildered.

"Are you alright, Xuefeng?"

"It's nothing," Wang Xuefeng replied.

"How could an earthquake happen so suddenly...?" Xiao He switched to healing, and the recovery spell was cast on both of them at the same time.

“I have a feeling someone triggered the mechanism,” Wang Xuefeng said, frowning. “We’re deep underground, even deeper than the pit we just left.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao He couldn't help but look around.

On the surface, this place appears to be a chaotic underground world.

The light was very dim, and I didn't know what the source of the light was.

"There's a river over there, want to go take a look?"

"Go."

"Wait!" Wang Xuefeng suddenly grabbed him: "Someone's here."

"How far?"

"It's far away, but very fast! Let's hide first."

"good!"

The two found a secluded corner, put on the Netherworld Cloak, and hid in an inconspicuous crevice in the rocks.

"Whoosh—"

Several figures moved like arrows released from a bow, arriving nearby in the blink of an eye.

“The feeling has disappeared…” a female voice said.

"So the news was leaked after all?"

"This is how the inspection team always operates. Is this your first day in Nuojin?"

"We need to speed things up; if there are more and more people, our chances will become increasingly slim."

"It's too late."

"What's the meaning?"

"Let's have a Gu fight."

"What?! Are you crazy?!"

"Hehehe..."

Before the words were finished, a burst of bright light suddenly erupted from somewhere underground.

Then, the entire underground world was plunged into complete darkness.

Xiao He peered out slightly, and soon faint lights began to appear in various places underground.

However, in such a time and environment, such brilliance would most likely be fatal.

Sure enough, within minutes, the first wave of lights went out one after another, accompanied by heart-wrenching screams.
