Seeing that they didn't agree for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "It was wrong of us to come down to the mine so rashly. We will compensate Madam Yu afterwards. In addition, if you two can provide us with a map to leave, we will owe you a favor and also win the friendship of our Peacock Clan."
Zuan thought that Yu Yanluo was going to the demon clan, and the peacock clan was the royal family among the demon clan, so it would be good to have them take care of her.
There's no point in forcing them to stay and fight the monster together anyway. These ruthless people definitely won't do it willingly, and given their evil nature, who knows if they might do something selfish at a crucial moment, like ambushing the two of them to slow down the monster's pursuit...
Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed, saying, "Mr. Kong, you are too kind. It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy in the world."
Kong Qing was overjoyed to see him agree, but he was still not at ease and hurriedly looked at Yu Yanluo, who was the owner of this mine and had not yet spoken.
Yu Yanluo nodded: "Aunt's words are my words."
"Thank you both!" Kong Qing was a little puzzled. Why did Yu Yanluo's tone sound so submissive to her husband?
However wildly imaginative he was, he would never have imagined that the once stunningly beautiful Lady Yu, who kept her distance from everyone, was now engaged to this young man.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo's brush moved like a snake, various glowing lines flowing, and a simple map appeared in the void.
"This is where you are now. If you walk in this direction, you will be able to return to the surface." Of course, Yu Yanluo could not reveal the entire map of the mine to them; she only drew a small part of the surrounding area.
"Thank you, Madam Yu!" Everyone present was a master, and being knowledgeable and quick-witted was a basic quality. They memorized the map in the air with just a glance, without needing any actual paper.
Just as Kong Qing and the others were about to say goodbye and leave, a series of scratching sounds suddenly came from the mine, like fingernails scraping a blackboard, which made them very uncomfortable.
Everyone's expression changed, because the sound was closer than ever before, as if it were right next to them.
Kong Qing and the others hurriedly took their own defensive positions. Zu An noticed that although they were vaguely positioned in a defensive formation, they were quite far apart, clearly indicating that they dared not entrust their backs to others and were each keeping a watchful eye on their companions.
Zuan didn't mean to criticize them. They were all elites of the evil path. It would be the naive and innocent ones who should be criticized for completely trusting their companions.
However, he and Yu Yanluo did not have these concerns. They stood back to back, reminding each other to be careful.
Just then, another series of eerie sounds rang out, and Zu An felt a chill run down his spine.
It really does sound like the background noise from many horror movies from my previous life.
He tried to find out where the sound was coming from, but because of the special terrain in the mine, there were cavities everywhere, and each mine seemed to be a loudspeaker, with resonance everywhere, making it impossible to tell where the sound was coming from.
He tried to perceive his surroundings with his soul, but found that black mist had appeared in many places, which could block the soul's detection.
Experts are used to knowing their surroundings in advance, but in this situation, they are like deaf and blind people, and they are all very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, all the terrifying sounds disappeared, followed by an extremely eerie silence.
Zu'an recalled Kong Qing's description, which suggested that the monster was already preparing to attack!
