Thinking of this, Feng Jiuyuan quickly looked around and soon found an opening at the base of the cave wall, just big enough for one person to pass through.
"Um…"
Looking at the cave entrance, Feng Jiuyuan stared at it, lost in thought.
"Squeak..."
At that moment, the skeleton at the cave entrance emitted a chilling clicking sound.
"Never mind, if we don't get out now, we're afraid we'll really die here if those skeletons come in."
Seeing this, Feng Jiuyuan gritted his teeth and accepted the most humiliating act of his life, bending down to crawl out through the rat hole.
"Squeak..."
However, before he could even move, a large rat rushed over and scurried out of its hole in front of him.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Then, one, two... many large rats, as if cutting in line, kept running out of the dark part of the cave and rushing out of the small hole.
Feng Jiuyuan: "..."
Damn it!
Seeing this, Feng Jiuyuan was so angry that his lungs felt like they were about to explode. He had actually been reduced to crawling through a mouse hole, and now, even crawling through a hole was being snatched away by mice!
How could it be so tragic?
However, no matter how wronged he felt, it was not as important as his life. Feng Jiuyuan took a deep breath, bent down, and plunged into the hole just as a large rat was about to crawl through.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The large rat behind him, having failed to get ahead, kept squealing anxiously, clearly very unhappy.
"Hahaha, trying to steal a mouse hole from me, young master? How naive..."
Seeing this, Feng Jiuyuan climbed up while laughing triumphantly, but his laughter froze halfway through.
Why do I always feel like something's off about this?
I originally thought it was just an ordinary cave entrance, but I didn't expect the rock wall to be so thick that it actually formed a passage.
As Feng Jiuyuan crawled along, he suddenly discovered a fork in the road ahead.
One path was traversed by large rats, while the other was a dark, lifeless passage where nothing could be seen.
But for some reason, looking at that dark passage, Feng Jiuyuan felt a mix of unease and familiarity.
His heart was pounding because he could sense the danger.
He felt familiar with it because, as a deity, he always felt that the taste was very much like that of a deity.
"Could it be..."
Feng Jiuyuan's eyes darkened slightly as he hesitated.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Just then, seeing that he didn't move, the rats that were blocked behind him all started to scream in protest, urging him to move quickly.
"Forget it, we don't even know where we are yet, let's just go out first and see."
Although they didn't know if the other path was the way out, the rats weren't looking for death, so the place they went out must be a path to survival.
Feng Jiuyuan made this judgment based on this point: all living beings are very intelligent and have an innate ability to seek advantage and avoid harm.
Besides, he has now gotten separated from Jun Feijue and the others. It would be too dangerous for him to go to an unknown place alone. It would be safer to wait until he finds Di Moyu and the others, or at least meets one of his companions, and go with someone.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Soon, following the rapid crawling of those large rats, Feng Jiuyuan finally emerged from the cave.
As soon as they emerged from their burrow, the mice squealed excitedly and fled quickly, their white fur instantly blending into the snow.
As expected, those big rats did indeed bring him safely out of the cave.
