Xiao Bai sat on a wooden stick inserted horizontally on the cliff. She also dug a small hole on the cliff and put the burning fire talisman into it, thus creating a wall lamp.
From afar, within the pitch-black underground crack, there was only a solitary light in this small area. Looking upward, there was only a faint white light the size of a soybean at the very top. It was unknown how far away the entrance was! So Xiao Bai groped around on the nearby wall, within reach, and pulled out a palm-sized stone. She threw it downwards, silently counting the time, but for a long time, she couldn't hear the sound of the stone hitting the ground.
One can imagine the depth of this underground crack.
Xiao Bai sighed. It seemed that whether going up or down, it would take a very long time. The danger below was unknown, and climbing up was also a long way off. However, in comparison, climbing up was definitely less risky.
It looks like we have to prepare for a long struggle!
Xiao Bai took out a small bunch of weed-like vines from her bag and stuck them on the mud wall with a "snap". The mutant vines grew as soon as they touched the soil, and quickly grew wildly and covered the entire wall. The vines became thicker and thicker, and gradually began to extend outward, building a small platform on the cliff. Xiao Bai stood on the shelf made of vines. Finally, she didn't have to sit on her butt anymore. Her feet were numb from sitting on a stick.
After finding a foothold, Xiao Bai finally felt relieved. She looked up at the faint light above. If she wanted to climb up, it would probably take a long time. She should first think about how to fill her rumbling stomach.
Xiao Bai touched her stomach and rummaged through the small bag she carried with her. There were only a few packets of biscuits and some candies in it. She peeled a candy and put it in her mouth to replenish her energy a little. This gave her the opportunity to settle accounts with the guy who had been pretending to be dead.
"Hey, Shuling, stop playing dead and come out! What's wrong with you lately?! You didn't even warn me in advance when there was danger!"
[Hmph!] A proud voice rang out in my mind.
"What's wrong with you? You were fine before, why are you suddenly acting so weird?!"
[Humph! I told you you're a coward, but you still refuse to admit it! Xiao Anzi is right, you're just a coward who doesn't dare to face your inner fear, lelelele...]
"You!" Xiao Bai was about to explode with anger at this naughty kid! Didn't they just have a few arguments before? Was there any need to make such a fuss? She had originally thought that it was just a child, and that a few arguments would be enough to coax him, but now she realized that naughty kids don't need coaxing at all! He was a master at fanning the flames and making her angry!
Now he actually dared to make fun of her by bringing up her past. She was already furious that her inner thoughts were exposed. After venting her anger twice, she could finally forget about it temporarily. But who knew that this naughty kid would bring up her embarrassing things right away. There was really no end in sight!
"You! Just wait!"
"Just wait, wait. What? You're timid, and you won't let anyone tell you? Besides, not only are you timid, you're also incredibly lazy! I've never seen a cultivator as lazy as you. Tell me, how long has it been since you last practiced the sword techniques I taught you?!"
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and the book spirit appeared in front of Xiao Bai with his arms folded across his chest, his little face pulled up, and he sat cross-legged on the book.
Xiao Bai took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and said word by word, "Look at where we are now. Let's talk about sword training later, okay? The most important thing now is how we get up there and see if there's any danger nearby."
She pointed upwards, then pointed towards the pitch-black surroundings, and finally pointed towards the bottom of the bottomless crack. She tried to put on a smile and said, "So, dear Shuling, can you fly down now and see what's going on down there?"
The book spirit rolled his eyes. Although he had been in the contract space at Xiao Bai's heart, as long as he was not asleep, he knew a little about what was happening outside. He rolled his eyes and said unhappily:
"Haha, you call me little darling when you need help, and you call me naughty kid when you don't! Woman, the speed at which you change your expression is truly astonishing!"
Xiao Bai gritted his teeth secretly: "So can you go down and take a look now? I always feel that there is a bad smell coming from below."
The brat will get you when he gets the chance! If she hadn't been surrounded by mutant vines and book spirits, and only the book spirits ignored physical attacks and could fly, she wouldn't have called the brat out for help! This guy always bargains!
Sure enough, the next second I heard the familiar words from this kid:
"I can help you, but I need more spirit cores. Three, no, five!"
"Okay! Let's go down and take a look!"
Xiao Bai agreed with gritted teeth. She felt that it was very dangerous down there. She had to make sure she had time to slowly climb up. Also, if the danger was like the contaminated earthworms, then she had to go up and notify the East City Guard and the people from the Qiyi Exchange as soon as possible. After all, that huge contaminated earthworm didn't seem like an exception at all. If there were countless similar contaminated animals down there, it would be really dangerous.
She watched the book spirit flying down with a heavy heart, and began to command the vines to wrap around her waist, making a simple rock climbing device. She let the vines climb up and pull her upwards. She didn't know what the situation was like for Murong An outside. The person who was hiding in the dark and attacking looked like he had bad intentions.
However, the actual situation is that for An Fei and the other two, Murong An is now their threat.
The atmosphere between the two sides was a bit tense.
"We really don't mean any harm. You know how terrible the environment in the Dark World is, and the two worlds are destined to merge more and more. We just came out early to adapt to this world."
"Really? Should we come out early to adapt to the world, or should we come out early to establish our own Dark Domain breeding farm?"
