Su Qiluo immediately took out four antidote pills from her storage bag and handed them over one by one.

After taking the antidote, Mu Qingyun felt a little more at ease, but she still didn't know what the sticky stuff under her feet was.

"The clay below is man-eating clay. Once it gets stuck, the only way to melt it is with fire." Su Qiluo's feet were also stuck to the man-eating clay. He turned to look at her, explaining as he asked for her help.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun didn't hesitate. The fire power in her right hand surged, and she lashed out downwards.

At the same time, Su Qiluo raised his right hand and moved all the water upwards, exposing the cannibalistic clay at the bottom of the pot.

"Ew." Butterfly Dance looked at the snot-like thing, suppressed the urge to vomit rising in her throat, closed her eyes, and forced herself not to think about it.

The water was brought up, and Mu Qingyun's fire also came into play, the intense flames preventing them from being cooked.

Flames burned the man-eating clay, and suddenly the clay contracted, turning the white, snot-like substance into a charred black.

The color changed, and the man-eating clay lost its ability to stick to people. Mu Qingyun felt that her feet were no longer sticky, and immediately shouted, "Retreat!"

Everyone was quick-witted and not stupid.

The moment the cannibalistic clay lost its stickiness, Butterfly Dance flew over, grabbed her, and walked out of the pot. Su Qiluo also quickly took Kazel away.

Emerging from the pot, the outside appeared to be a secret passage, damp and cold. Despite the ruins on the ground, water was still dripping from the passage.

Seeing this, Diewu had no time to care about Su Qiluo. She fearfully grabbed Mu Qingyun and dragged her behind her like a sloth.

"……fine."

Dragged along by Butterfly Dance, she felt a weight on her back, like a turtle carrying a seashell.

After taking a few steps, it was truly difficult.

"You don't need to hug me so tightly, it's okay." Feeling quite tired, she gently comforted Butterfly Dance behind her.

But when Butterfly Dance heard this, she held her even tighter, and the weight behind her increased.

"I'm scared."

"If you keep dragging me along like this, neither of us will be able to leave." Mu Qingyun frowned, staring helplessly at Diewu's hand that was tightly gripping hers. "Stand behind me, I'll protect you."

"Wow, Mu-ge is so handsome! If you were a real man, there would be so many people vying to marry you." Kazel couldn't help but tease the two "conjoined twins".

Mu Qingyun glanced at him lazily, "Haven't you always been telling me I'm ugly?"

“Yeah, you’re ugly.” Kazel said with an innocent yet serious expression. “That’s why people are scrambling to get their hands on you. If it were me, I’d be practically begging to die.”

Mu Qingyun: ……

Neuropathy.

Seeing his smug expression, she took a few deep breaths and decided not to lower herself to the level of this dead fish.

Butterfly loosened her grip, giving Mu Qingyun a chance to catch her breath.

Su Qiluo looked at the endless road in front of her. The surroundings were dim, but not particularly dark. At least, they could see each other clearly from a distance of several meters.

“From here on, everything depends on yourselves.” He looked at the dark road ahead. “I’ll go up and wait for you.”

"General Su, are you just leaving like this?" Diewu never expected things to turn out this way. She looked up and glanced at the darkness in front of her, where she couldn't see the road ahead, and felt a little scared.

She thought that given the relationship between General Su and Brother Mu, even if he didn't interfere, he would at least use his light powers to clear a path for them. She didn't expect him to leave so soon.

“Okay, wait for me upstairs.” Mu Qingyun met Su Qiluo’s gaze, her eyes filled with an arrogant determination to win.

She liked Su Qiluo's approach.

Jumping down with her was a boyfriend's instinctive way of protecting them. Not interfering with their challenges was to train them and to help them qualify for military school on their own, so they wouldn't always rely on others.

After exchanging a glance with her, Su Qiluo started the aircraft and headed upwards in the direction of the pot.

On the ground, only the three of them remained, and of the three, only Mu Qingyun possessed supernatural abilities.

"Make do with it." A ball of flame appeared in her palm, and she placed a portion of it in front of Kazel.

The fire provided some light in the dark cave.

"Clap clap clap clap—"

With a flapping sound of wings, a large swarm of bats flew over their heads.

"ah!"

Butterfly Dance had never seen a bat before, and she screamed in fright, burying her head in Mu Qingyun's neck.

"Don't shout!" Kazel could vaguely see bats flying overhead through the flames; they didn't seem to be planning to attack them at the moment.

After being yelled at, Butterfly Dance shut her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Keep going." Mu Qingyun glanced up at the bats overhead. Since they weren't attacking, it was best not to provoke them.

After walking a while longer, the end of the secret passage was blocked by a thick wall. In the middle of the wall, there was a small hole, and purple light was flashing inside the hole.

Without saying a word, Mu Qingyun used fire to create a protective ring around his hands, then raised his hand and punched the wall.

The punch was delivered with tremendous force, and the wall shattered with a resounding crash.

Looking at the surroundings behind the wall, she suddenly thought of a passage: "At first it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, but after walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and clear space."

Before them was a secret chamber-like place, with a protruding stone pillar in the center. On top of it, a purple raw stone floated in the air, its dazzling light enveloping the entire chamber and coating it with a purple glow.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Butterfly Dance peeked out from behind Mu Qingyun and looked around the raw stone. There was only one raw stone and a bunch of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall in the entire secret room, nothing else.

Mu Qingyun looked at the purple raw stone, hesitated for a moment, and then went inside.

When Kazel and Butterfly saw her go in, they quickly followed.

As soon as Kazel, who was walking at the back, entered, two doors suddenly appeared beside him, extending from the wall.

Before they could react, the door moved with lightning speed and slammed shut!

Seeing this, Kazel hurriedly reached out to try the door, but as soon as he touched it, his fingertips were immediately shocked by an electric current.

"There's electricity on the door, don't come near it."

He frowned, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from the door.

Mu Qingyun glanced at the door, remained silent, and surrounded her right hand with a layer of flame. She reached out towards the purple raw stone.

The expected trap did not appear, and the purple gemstone was very easy to obtain; she simply reached out and took it out.

"It's not as difficult as I imagined." Butterfly Dance smiled as she looked at the raw stone that was shimmering with a faint purple light, her eyes fixed on it.

Mu Qingyun held the raw stone, but her eyes suddenly became unfocused.

"Sister?"

A familiar voice rang in her ears, and her heart skipped a beat. She turned her head to look.
