“Then we’ll go down with you,” Sun Lili said immediately.
Night Breeze hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you sure you want to come down with me? There might be some danger down there."
“Even if there’s danger down there, you’ll protect us. What if a wolf or something jumps out if we wait for you here?” Sun Lili said confidently.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng realized that Sun Lili's words did make sense.
It was not a wise choice to leave Bai Yuling and Sun Lili waiting for him here; it would be safest for them to come down with him.
So Ye Feng nodded and said, "Alright, you can come down with me, but I'll go down and scout ahead first."
"Mmm." Bai Yuling nodded.
Without further ado, the night wind leaped into the dark cave.
The hole above is not particularly high from the ground below, only a little over three meters.
After the night breeze settled steadily on the ground, it looked around.
The underground cave was pitch black, without a single light, and completely silent.
After confirming that there was no danger, Ye Feng looked up at the cave entrance above and said, "Alright, it's safe down there, you can come in now."
"Is it deep down there?" Bai Yuling asked.
“It’s not deep, only a little over three meters,” Night Wind replied.
"Okay, then I'll jump down, Mr. Ye, please catch me."
After saying that, Bai Yuling jumped down from the cave entrance.
With her in mid-air, Bai Yuling's heart was in her throat.
But once she landed safely in the embrace of the night breeze, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into its depths.
"Yuling, are you alright?" Sun Lili's voice came from upstairs.
"I'm fine."
Bai Yuling answered loudly.
“Then I’m coming down too!” Sun Lili called out again.
"Don't rush, throw everything down first," Bai Yuling reminded her.
Bai Yuling and Sun Lili were both carrying backpacks, and their backpacks were particularly heavy. Inside, there were not only tents, but also essential supplies such as canned food and water, as well as tools necessary for wilderness exploration, such as knives and lighting equipment.
Sun Lili threw down the two backpacks one after the other, and Ye Feng caught them both to prevent them from falling directly to the ground and breaking.
After throwing away her backpack, Sun Lili finally jumped down from the hole above.
Ye Feng caught Sun Lili and then put her on the ground.
"Take the flashlight out," Night Wind reminded him.
The night wind can see through the darkness, so the pitch-black underground environment had no effect on him.
However, in this pitch-black darkness, Bai Yuling and Sun Lili definitely couldn't get by without lighting tools.
Sun Lili quickly took a flashlight out of her backpack and turned it on.
A bright beam of light shone from the flashlight, creating a striking spot of light in the cave.
"Oh dear, what's that!"
Sun Lili was startled.
As the night air cleared, a long centipede could be seen in the spot where Sun Lili's flashlight was shining.
The centipede was quite large, at least forty centimeters long, and its bright red body looked rather frightening.
"It's just a centipede, nothing to be afraid of," Ye Feng said calmly.
Despite saying that, Ye Feng still casually unleashed a burst of true energy, instantly killing the centipede.
In this way, Bai Yuling and Sun Lili will not be hurt by the centipede.
Seeing that Ye Feng had killed the centipede, Sun Lili finally felt relieved and put her backpack on, as did Bai Yuling.
"Let's go, let's explore the depths of the underground caves, maybe we'll make a great discovery," Night Wind said with a smile.
After saying that, Ye Feng walked in front, heading deeper into the underground cave.
Bai Yuling and Sun Lili followed behind, the two women keeping pace with Ye Feng, not daring to stray even a step too far.
"Hold the flashlight properly and don't wave it around," Bai Yuling reminded her.
"knew."
Sun Lili nodded, and the hand holding the flashlight stopped shaking.
Suddenly, Sun Lili stepped on something, making a crisp cracking sound.
She shone the flashlight on it and was immediately terrified, turning pale and letting out a scream.
Then Sun Lili suddenly pounced on Ye Feng's back, even climbing onto it like a monkey.
"What are you doing?" Ye Feng asked angrily.
Sun Lili stammered, "There are...bones on the ground..."
"bone?"
When Ye Feng looked back, he immediately noticed a skeleton on the road he had just passed.
But those weren't human skeletons; they were the skeletons of rats or something similar, and they looked very small, only about the size of a palm.
"It's not human remains, what's there to be afraid of?" Ye Feng said irritably.
Sun Lili finally got off Ye Feng's back.
Bai Yuling also made a few sarcastic remarks with a smile, but Sun Lili stubbornly said, "I... I was just startled. I definitely won't be afraid if it happens again."
“Nonsense, no one is afraid of doing it again,” Bai Yuling said.
Two hours passed before we knew it.
Ye Feng, Bai Yuling, and Sun Lili were walking at a fast pace, and they had already entered a very deep place.
But at this moment, they had not yet reached the end of this underground cave.
Sun Lili's expression turned somewhat strange, as if she had something difficult to say.
She held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help herself and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Yu Ling, Mr. Ye, I...I want to..."
"What is it now?" Bai Yuling asked.
"I need to use the restroom," Sun Lili said, her face slightly flushed.
The night breeze, however, showed no impatience.
After all, everyone has to relieve themselves sometimes, so it's perfectly normal for Sun Lili to need to use the restroom.
"Then put your things here and go to the restroom, but don't go too far," Ye Feng said.
"OK."
As she spoke, Sun Lili took her backpack off her back and placed it on the ground in front of her.
“I’m taking the flashlight with me,” Sun Lili said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Lili grabbed a flashlight and ran back the way she came.
There wasn't just one flashlight; in fact, Sun Lili and Bai Yuling had three flashlights and spare batteries in their backpacks.
However, adhering to the principle of saving as much as possible, Bai Yuling and Sun Lili only took out one flashlight to use.
At that moment, Sun Lili left with a flashlight, and the place immediately became pitch black.
Ye Feng was naturally not afraid, but Bai Yuling felt a little uneasy.
So Bai Yuling took two steps toward Ye Feng, getting close to him until they were almost touching.
"We're too close," Night Wind said.
"Sorry, it's too dark here, I can't see very well," Bai Yuling said.
