Shen Yanming: "Honey, can you please stop jumping around like that?"
Bi Qiaoan: "..."
Shen Yanming ruffled Bi Qiaoan's long hair without saying a word.
Li Sikai noticed his subtle movements, and when his gaze fell on Bi Qiaoan's smooth, shiny black hair, he had a sudden realization.
I thought to myself that Old Shen must be a water-based ability user, otherwise his family wouldn't be so clean.
Although the world doesn't lack water, it lacks coal and firewood. Most people can't afford to wash their hair unless they have a special talent for controlling the water and temperature.
If Shen Yanming knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, "Yes, you're right."
The group rested for more than half an hour before continuing their journey.
Because of his physical condition, Li Sikai was in a wheelchair and was pushed around by others.
Shen Yanming felt quite distressed.
Who would have thought that the once spirited young man, who possessed the world's greatest treasure, would be implicated, losing his freedom and becoming physically weak?
Compared to that, his life couldn't be happier.
As if sensing something, Li Sikai turned to look at him. A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, and he wasn't as dejected as he had imagined.
Shen Yanming nodded, willing to help but not daring to reveal his own intentions. He could only hope that what was in the mine could bring Xiao Kai a chance to survive.
It took the group two or three days to reach the entrance of the passage. Along the way, they kept moving and hardly stopped.
At first, there were fifty or sixty people traveling together. But the long journey left everyone exhausted.
Many people, especially older ones like General Manager Li, couldn't stand it.
After discussion, it was decided that Li Sikai would travel outside, while the rest would stay inside the space.
Of course, Shen Yanming and Qi Xili would take turns leading the way, and the guards would also take turns being responsible for security.
As for Qi Lin and An An, Chief Alliance Officer Li felt that the two children were too young and inexperienced, so their father should take over the task of leading the way.
And so, they traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the entrance to the passage.
Wen Chaohui, Li Zongmengguan, Qiu Man, Jiang Ji, and other bigwigs were all released from the space because they wanted to witness this miracle.
Shen Yanming and Qi Xili looked at the dark passage, which resembled the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, and asked everyone, "Are you ready?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
"In that case, let's set off." With that, the two led the team into the passage.
At first, some light could still shine through from the bottom of the cliff, so it wasn't completely dark inside.
But before I had walked even fifty meters, I could no longer see anything at all.
Without sight, a person would instinctively panic. But the guards were well-trained; they immediately surrounded Li Sikai in the dark, vigilantly monitoring their surroundings.
They then quickly turned on their flashlights, and the light restored their vision.
When they saw the scene before them, they were all amazed by the wonders of nature.
The group cautiously walked forward for more than an hour before growing weary of the unchanging visual imagery.
Li Sikai put the people into his spatial storage, leaving only twenty outside.
A sightseeing vehicle was released from the space, and people got on and drove straight ahead.
On the way, Qi Xili said with a smile, "Old Shen, look how easy it is this time, we don't even have to walk. Last time, our feet were blistered from walking so much."
Shen Yanming nodded, thinking that he could do it too if it weren't for the need to keep the space a secret.
The sightseeing bus, though not as fast as a regular car, was still much faster than walking.
Before long, we arrived at the fork in the road.
Qi Xili stopped the car and pointed to the other side, saying, "From here, it's a 24-hour walk to see the scorching lava. However, the exit is not easy to find; one wrong step and you'll fall into a hole. One of our team members almost fell in back then."
Li Sikai nodded, turned the car around, and drove in that direction. Although it was somewhat dangerous, they were already there, so they couldn't just leave without taking a look.
They told the driver to drive slowly, but Shen Yanming and Qi Xili were still worried.
They sat on either side, warily looking ahead, fearing that the driver, like Pan Rongkai, might inadvertently lead them into the abyss.
The sightseeing bus drove for five hours before stopping. Li Sikai stored the bus in his spatial storage; the rest of the journey would have to be on foot.
After walking for more than two hours, Shen Yanming realized that there was a depression in the ground ahead. He knew he had arrived.
But the guards leading the way were oblivious and continued walking forward with their heads covered.
He called out, "We're almost there, so watch your step. There are some visual illusions there, and you could easily slip and fall. Try to hold hands, so that if something happens, someone nearby can lend a hand."
The guards didn't suspect anything and immediately took the arm of their companions. Li Sikai was the last one, because everyone was afraid something might happen to him.
As a result, the one walking at the very front almost fell off.
However, thanks to Shen Yanming's reminder and the timely assistance of those around him, he was pulled up as soon as he missed a step.
He was cut on his thigh by a rock and cannot participate in any activities for a short period of time.
Shen Yanming sighed, took out some medicine from his bag, and told him to apply it in his spatial dimension later.
Putting aside this unexpected event, everyone was once again stunned by the scene before them.
All that could be seen was red lava flowing at the bottom of the ravine, which was thousands of meters deep, but it was silent and had no temperature.
Just like this quiet passage, it was eerily strange.
After their legs went weak from looking at the lava, they retreated back into the cave.
Qi Xili took the phone Li Sikai gave him, climbed to the cave entrance and filmed a video. Then Xiao Kai took it back to his space and asked the middle-aged and elderly people if they wanted to come out and watch.
“I suggest you don’t come out. Just check your phones. It’s too dangerous outside. If Yanming hadn’t reminded you, Xiao Yao would have almost fallen into the ditch. Even Captain Qi had to lie on the ground to take the picture.”
Li Zongmengguan knew the best option was to stay in the space, but his inner desires made him hesitate.
Jiang Ji was quite straightforward. Seeing everyone's predicament, she said directly, "Why don't we just lie on the ground? It might look a little awkward, but what's the big deal? We're all on the same side, we'll forget about it once we get out. Rather than maintaining elegance, I'd rather see this flowing lava with my own eyes."
After thinking about it, General Li agreed. At his age, what was there to be ashamed of? He could just crawl over there; as long as he could witness a miracle in his lifetime, he would have no regrets.
Li Sikai didn't try to dissuade them further. Seeing that they were determined, he led them out of the space. However, he tied safety ropes around their waists before they came out.
After the group of big shots came out, they found that the twenty guards who had followed Li Sikai to scout ahead were all lying on the ground, sweating profusely.
They were startled; their legs had already gone weak before the ordeal was even over.
Several alliance officials, with stern faces and bent backs, lay on the ground somewhat embarrassed.
But Jiang Ji didn't say anything; he was the first to push forward like a silkworm cocoon. Once his head was out of the hole, he blurted out, "Holy crap!"
