Cliff caves are different from mountain caves. Although they are located on the edge of cliffs, they are not exposed to sunlight all year round, making them not only damp but also unusually cold.
The two untied the green vines binding them, and Lu Qiqi used her spatial ability to manipulate her thoughts to take out an oil lamp from her space and light it, illuminating the way forward in the dark cave and making it easier for them to move on.
As the oil lamp was lit, Lu Qiqi finally took a look at the illuminated cave. Although it was unusually cool and even felt damp, she was surprised to find the cave so clean, without even a speck of moss on it.
Song Yanqing took the oil lamp from her hand, led her forward, and whispered, "The ground is uneven, be careful."
