Cheng Shuang's eyes widened suddenly as a steep downhill slope appeared abruptly.

"Hold on tight!" she shouted in a broken voice.

Sangsang and Luo An each hugged the little girl's left and right shoulders, while Long Zhiyan's big eyes were wide open, still not having reacted, a sense of loss of control overwhelmed him.

This is completely different from flying freely. Most importantly, its wings are folded up, and it doesn't have time to flap them to maintain its balance.

In the weightlessness, Dragon Flame roared, and along with a wisp of flame, it shot forward like a jet engine, illuminating the path. At the same time, the reaction force slowed down the speed considerably.

The slope was too steep, causing Cheng Shuang's hair to fly up and her cloak to flutter wildly. She could only lean back as far as possible to increase resistance.

Once they reached the bottom, several vines took a shortcut and caught up with the electric scooter, running alongside it.

"Sangsang Monster!" Cheng Shuang shouted, and Sangsang Monster immediately understood her idea, stretching out its two withered, dark claws to hold onto the handlebars.

At the same time, Cheng Shuang, who had freed up her hands, pressed down on Long Zhiyan's head and swayed it left and right, allowing the flames to evenly burn away the vines on both sides.

The vines are not mindless creatures; they try to extinguish the flames by striking each other, but unfortunately, these are not simple flames; they can burn away all darkness and filth.

The vines had done nothing to save the flames; in fact, the flames followed the vines and burned directly at their roots.

Cheng Shuang heard a deafening, shrill scream echo in the empty space, followed by the sound waves causing the log bridge to undulate up and down.

Like an electrocardiogram that fluctuates.

The electric vehicle was suddenly propelled high by the bridge, and then it was about to fall down from that height.

Cheng Shuang did not stop. Instead, she twisted the handlebars and sped up. Just as the bridge was falling, she rushed across, and the electric bike landed dangerously on the newly arched bridge surface in front of her.

Then, Long Zhiyan spread his wings and grabbed Cheng Shuang's shoulder the moment he took flight.

Cheng Shuang immediately threw a glow stick down below.

The faint light illuminated the small space. The vine, in its struggle for survival, severed its tail and abandoned the burning branches, letting them burn to ashes. Perhaps it was this pain that made it howl.

Cheng Shuang was met with an even fiercer retaliation. Countless vines gushed out of the abyss like fountains. Instead of attacking head-on, they gripped the edges of the log bridge, causing it to swing up and down and side to side like a giant swing ride in an amusement park.

It not only wanted Cheng Shuang to lose her footing, but also hoped to use the bridge structure of the fan to knock down the dragon flame flying in the air.

Cheng Shuang clicked her tongue.

Dragonfire is a creature that awakens at night, so night vision is not difficult for it, and flying is instinctive, making it easy for it to hide.

Seeing this, Cheng Shuang decided to go all out, took out a large bucket of cooking oil, and threw it down. The oil bucket fell from a height, was immediately caught by vines, and was then crushed in retaliation.

The slippery oil immediately splattered everywhere, and Dragon Flame immediately spat out several mouthfuls of flames.

The firelight illuminated the situation at the bottom.

Green vines intertwined like snakes, densely covering the entire ground.

Because of the powerful attack of the flames, coupled with the aid of cooking oil, the vine itself didn't have time to sever its tail and survive.

Clinging to the branches along the edge of the log bridge, they quickly pulled back, trying to extinguish the fire by patting it.

This was undoubtedly a trap. More and more vines were set ablaze, and agonizing screams immediately rang out. Surprisingly, each vine's scream was different. At this moment, the mournful cries formed a chorus of high and low notes, making it even more chilling.

Anyone with a weaker mental fortitude would have been terrified and completely lost their composure long ago.

Cheng Shuang guessed that this was a defensive tactic used by the vine monster when it encountered a powerful enemy, using different sounds to force the enemy back.

Clearly, the flames could not be driven back, and the vine itself seemed to understand this as well. It stretched its scorched branches high, dancing purposefully in the air, trying to drag the enemy down with it.

Dragon Flame moved in a serpentine pattern, sometimes high, sometimes low, playfully teasing the vines until the branches turned to ashes, burning everything away.

Cheng Shuang threw another glow stick, destroying the greenery on the ground and leaving only a thick layer of carbon ash.

She thought about it and decided that she should at least help the monster to the end, and prevent any resurgence.

So the little girl poured a large bucket of cleaning agent evenly downwards. After all the ashes had dissipated and there was no green residue left, she looked up at the sky, her eyes deep, a small flame flickering on her fingertip.

Perhaps frightened by the relentless pursuit of their powerful enemy, the green vines on the ceiling spontaneously withdrew their branches, refusing to cause any further disturbance, and obediently hid on the ceiling, serving as a mural.

Cheng Shuang then dispersed the flames, patted the Dragon Flame, and flew towards the end of the log bridge.

Just as they flew into the darkness, a ding sound was heard, a ball of light lit up, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

The entire elevator seemed to be suspended in mid-air, or perhaps shrouded in darkness.

This time, the elevator was brightly lit. Due to limited space, Long Zhiyan returned to his spatial compartment to wait, while only Sang Sang Guai and Luo An continued to accompany Cheng Shuang.

Almost the instant Cheng Shuang stepped into the elevator, lights burst forth, and the outside world transformed into a bustling lobby. Through the gaps in the crowd, Cheng Shuang saw that the sky outside the building was as bright as day.

It's dawn!

What exactly happened?

The little girl stopped and looked again at the bruises on her wrists. The marks were still there, and not only that, but the ashes of the vines had somehow covered her body. All of this was enough to prove that what she had just experienced was not an illusion.
