The stone walls on both sides of the path were damp, covered with green moss and small black mushrooms, with long vines hanging above them.
The entire stone path exuded a cold and damp atmosphere.
"Brother Chen, where exactly do you think we've ended up?"
Jiang Nian'an carefully avoided the rotting corpses that appeared on the ground from time to time, while asking Shen Nanxing.
Shen Nanxing gently shook his head. "I don't know either."
Thinking of the mangled corpse that had been thrown earlier, a body so badly mangled it was barely recognizable as human...
He pondered for a moment and said, "However, I can confirm that this place is at least a hundred meters above the ground."
Upon hearing this, the image of the meat pie corpse flashed through Jiang Nian'an's mind, and she nodded in agreement.
You wouldn't have fallen like that if you hadn't been at least 100 meters away.
Shen Nanxing waved his hand and unleashed several bolts of lightning, burning the vines above that were trying to attack them to ashes.
"Brother Chen, do you think we can get back to the surface?"
Jiang Nian'an looked up, but couldn't see the end of the path.
It was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
"We definitely can. The water outside the cave is surging, it must be flowing down from a high place. As long as we go in the direction the water is coming from, we will definitely be able to get out."
Shen Nanxing gripped Jiang Nian'an's hand tightly, "An'an, I will definitely lead you out of this world."
"Yes, Brother Chen, I believe you!"
Jiang Nian'an nodded, and then gently struggled to free her hand from Shen Nanxing's grasp.
"An'an, hold my hand for safety."
Shen Nanxing turned to look at her, his gaze sincere and gentle.
"But Brother Chen..."
Jiang Nian'an rubbed her stomach. "I'm hungry. I can't eat with just one hand."
She produced a plastic bag containing two pancakes.
It was leftovers from last night's meal, and it was still warm.
"I'd also like to add some sauce, lettuce, and braised meat~"
She shook the plastic bag in her hand.
Shen Nanxing's eyes flickered, and he suddenly reached out his hand, "Give me the sauce and meat, I'll add it for you."
Jiang Nian'an: "..."
"Brother Chen!" Her cheeks puffed out slightly, her almond-shaped eyes widening. "Stop fooling around!"
Shen Nanxing lowered his head in utter disappointment and reluctantly let go of Jiang Nian'an's hand.
Driven by hunger, Jiang Nian'an completely failed to notice Shen Nanxing's dejected mood.
She shoved two disinfectant wipes into Shen Nanxing's hand. "Quick, wipe your hands, let's eat!"
After wiping her hands clean, Jiang Nian'an wrapped four large pancakes and stuffed three of them into Shen Nanxing's hands.
Let's eat as we walk.
She nodded slightly, signaling Shen Nanxing to continue walking forward.
Shen Nanxing looked at the pancake in his hand, his lips curled down, and then he ate it in big bites as if venting his anger.
"I wonder how Second Brother, Third Brother, and Xiao Yin are doing now?"
Jiang Nian'an followed behind Shen Nanxing, eating and muttering to herself.
At the same time, he secretly fed the king chicken breast, a type of meat that doesn't make much noise when eaten, with his hands behind his back.
"Don't worry, Yunfan and Yunhua have learned various escape and self-rescue methods since they were young, so nothing will happen to them."
As for Little Silver, it should be more capable of surviving than any of us, and besides, it's with Yunhua and the others.
Hearing Shen Nanxing say this, Jiang Nian'an felt much more at ease.
The two fell silent for a moment, the only sound around them being the chewing noise.
"We're almost there."
After walking for a while, Shen Nanxing keenly noticed that the airflow had changed and it was no longer as humid as the stone path.
"Wait, wait!"
Jiang Nian'an grabbed Shen Nanxing's arm, "Let's finish eating before we go out."
She stuffed the biscuits into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, just like a cute little hamster.
Shen Nanxing couldn't help but soften his expression, "Don't rush, eat slowly."
Jiang Nian'an nodded repeatedly, but her eating speed did not slow down.
Shen Nanxing finished the pancake in his hand in a few bites, and then took out the two bottles of water from the side of his bag.
He opened one of the bottles and handed it to Jiang Nian'an, saying, "Drink some water, be careful not to choke."
Jiang Nian'an took it, tilted her head back and gulped down two mouthfuls, then swallowed the last bite of the biscuit.
"Alright, let's go."
She patted her chest, stuffed the water back into Shen Nanxing's emergency kit, took out a large knife from her spatial storage, and walked forward with a wary expression.
But the next second, Shen Nanxing grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her to the back, saying, "Why are you running so fast? Walk behind me."
Jiang Nian'an looked at his broad back, which seemed to shield her from all storms and dangers, and blinked slightly.
A feeling that was both sweet and joyful suddenly welled up in my heart.
It made her feel both unfamiliar and delighted.
Lightning surged in Shen Nanxing's hand as he cautiously peered out from the stone passageway.
It was another pitch-black stone path, with fast-moving air currents and a faint smell of blood and decay.
Shen Nanxing frowned and guided the silver butterfly to fly forward a short distance.
Where the light passed, all that could be seen was moss covering the ground and crawling black insects.
There was a small ditch nearby, in which several swollen corpses were floating, but they didn't seem to pose any danger.
"An'an, let's go!"
After confirming that the road ahead was temporarily safe, Shen Nanxing turned around and called out to Jiang Nian'an.
"Um."
Jiang Nian'an gently bit her lip, suppressing the strange yet pleasant feeling in her heart, and followed after them with her knife in hand.
The king quickly crawled to the two of them, his eyes, emitting a pale yellow light, constantly scanning both sides, wary of what lay ahead.
After walking about a hundred meters, the king paused.
Its neck suddenly rose, its tail thrashed restlessly, its tongue flicked in and out, emitting a symbolic threatening hiss.
