...
After a long time, Ling slowly woke up.
"Where am I? Wasn't I swallowed by quicksand?"
Standing up, looking at the empty surroundings, Zero felt a little puzzled.
He subconsciously patted himself, only to find that he was completely clean, without a speck of sand or dirt.
It seemed as if the experience just now was an illusion.
The only thing that could still prove that what just happened was real was that he still couldn't contact the space.
“Strange…this seems to be a very large space.”
Zero tried to take several steps forward and even jumped up and down a few times.
The ground was entirely made of hard stone, unlike the soft sandy soil layer we had before.
"Could it be... that beneath that quicksand lies this dry space?"
Zero couldn't help but have this bold conjecture.
Since we can't contact the space around us for the time being, we can only move forward.
Having thought this through, Zero stopped considering anything else and walked straight ahead.
Logically speaking, falling into this strange cave should have been extremely dark, since there were no lighting tools available.
Moreover, when Zero woke up, she had already searched her surroundings and found no exit.
However, there is no feeling of suffocation inside, which means that there are air vents underground, otherwise the air could not circulate.
The only path he could see was the cave ahead, which was faintly illuminated by a white light.
That was Zero's only choice, his only chance to get out...
That road seemed to have no end; the deeper one went, the deeper one went.
Once outside the cave, there was an open space, and three entrances: left, center, and right.
This is……
Should we let him make the choice?
This is usually the easiest thing to do. As long as there is fire or even just a piece of paper, you can simply hold it up in front of each hole and observe whether there is any change, and you will know which side is windy.
Where there is wind, there is an exit.
But how do we judge this...?
His clothes couldn't be torn off by hand...
If he were to choose randomly, Zero wouldn't dare to make a decision blindly.
He can't use his spiritual power now, and he can't make any spatial connections. If he encounters any danger, he'll really be doomed...
Just as Zero was caught in a dilemma, he suddenly felt a cool sensation on the soles of his feet.
Ling subconsciously looked down and saw water flowing beneath her feet. It wasn't much, nor was it rapid; it just flowed casually forward.
And coincidentally, all these streams of water flowed in the direction of the hole on the right.
Is this guiding him?
Since Zero didn't have a definite choice anyway, she figured she might as well go with the current. Maybe she could find a way out.
With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and followed the water flow into the cave entrance on the right.
The entrance to the cave is small, but it is very deep inside.
This cave was slightly brighter than the one before, and it also had a natural coolness to it.
Including the distant overhead, there was a ceiling made of ice, snow and rock, and on that ceiling, there was a rectangular opening about one meter wide and two meters long.
Is this for export?
Obviously not.
Where is he?
Why is this place like a frozen cave, with ice and snow still present?
He tried to climb the surrounding rock walls to reach the cave entrance, but he couldn't find anything to step on or grab onto.
Even his spiritual energy couldn't be sensed at all in this place.
He is now no different from an ordinary person.
etc!
There is a stream here, and the stream is still flowing, which means that this is the upstream of the stream. If you go downstream, you may be able to find the exit!
With this thought in mind, Zero began to follow the stream downstream.
Downstream, Zero discovered that the water seemed to be seeping out through porous rocks.
Is there no exit here?
Just then, a stone fell from the sky and shattered upon hitting the rocks in the river.
In the blink of an eye, another stone fell, then another, followed by a pattering sound as the sandy soil continued to fall.
"What's wrong? Is this place going to collapse?"
Seeing the stones falling more and more frequently, Zero was on the verge of collapse...
What kind of incredible luck is that?
Not only did he get stuck in quicksand, but he also inexplicably ended up in an underground cave.
Not only has he not found an exit, but now he's also facing a rockfall, rendering his spiritual power unusable. He is in constant danger of losing his life here.
Stones kept falling down, and Zero kept dodging them, looking for an exit.
Just as the entire cave was about to be buried, the tremors suddenly stopped.
"Phew—that was close..."
Just as Zero was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, and Zero fell down as well...
"Good heavens! Which bastard built this cave? Doesn't he know it needs maintenance? It's dangerous!"
"Bang—"
After a loud thud, Ling rubbed her sore bottom, glanced around, and realized she had entered another space.
"Damn, are you kidding me... Dare to drop another one?"
Perhaps he was displeased by Zero's vulgar language, or perhaps it was to satisfy Zero's demands...
"What--"
"Bang!"
Before Zero could react, the ground beneath his feet cracked open again, and he successfully entered another space.
However, this time the sound wasn't as loud as before, perhaps because the altitude wasn't as high.
"You dare to try again?"
"Bang!"
"Again."
