The dark world was like a maze, with no end in sight and no exit in sight. The dull and oppressive atmosphere made one feel restless and irritable.
"Ugh, I can't take it anymore! When will this ever end?!" Wu Wenfeng plopped down on the ground, patting his numb legs, and said impatiently, "Brother, we've been walking around here for days now, haven't we? Not a soul in sight! I'm so fed up!"
Mo Chen frowned and said nothing. The cave was very long, and they had been walking for a long time without coming out, which inevitably made them feel a little depressed.
"Hey, brother, could we have gone to the wrong place?" Wu Wenfeng suddenly realized something.
Jin Yi looked at the brightly lit cave, squinted and analyzed it carefully, saying, "This is spontaneously combusting phosphorus. It will last for a long time because people often come and go here, increasing the combustion of phosphorus... And we encountered many traps on our way into this cave. After going through this life-or-death journey, there are no forks in the road. So I think we should not have gone the wrong way."
Mo Chen nodded. He also felt that they hadn't gone the wrong way, but what was the reason they couldn't find their way out? Was it just because the road was too long?
Just as Mo Chen was wondering, his expression suddenly changed, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Ugh..." Mo Chen's expression changed, and the twisted pain was heartbreaking.
Mo Chen leaned against the wall, bent over, and clutched his chest. The piercing pain made him cry out in pain.
"Big brother! What happened to you? Are you alright?" Seeing Mo Chen's pale face, Wu Wenfeng rushed over, supported Mo Chen, and asked with concern.
Mo Chen, panting heavily, said with a pale face, "I'm fine, it's Gu Liyan... Gu Liyan might be in trouble!"
Mo Chen and Gu Liyan are connected by a soul contract. If one of them is in trouble, the other will sense it.
A sharp pain shot through his chest, and Mo Chen was certain that something must have happened to Gu Liyan!
Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, Jin Yi's expression immediately tensed up, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you say? Something happened to the Ancient Sage? How do you know? How is he? Is he alive or dead? Should we go and retrieve his body?"
Seeing Jin Yi's worried expression, Wu Wenfeng couldn't help but suppress a laugh. Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng, who immediately spoke up in a serious tone, "I, I will avenge him together with you, brother!"
Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng again, but then felt the pain in his chest gradually disappear. As the pain subsided, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"No...no, he might be—okay!"
Jin Yi was filled with questions by Mo Chen's ambiguous words. "What? How come everything's alright again? Who exactly are you—"
Mo Chen waved his hand, interrupting Jin Yi, "Wait a minute, don't say anything!"
"Huh?" Jin Yi was completely bewildered, but then he saw Mo Chen close his eyes.
Mo Chen closed his eyes, sensing Gu Liyan's presence, until he found Gu Liyan unconscious on the ground near the exit not far away.
Mo Chen suddenly opened his eyes. "Damn you, you vixen! I've finally found you! Just wait till I get my hands on you! You two, come with me right now!"
After saying that, Mo Chen rushed towards where Gu Liyan was—
At this time
Water accumulated at the top of the cave and fell as gravity caused it to land precisely on the forehead of the boy with the stunningly beautiful face.
Gu Liyan frowned, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Phew... thankfully, the other me entered the Shadow Hall in my place... otherwise..."
Gu Liyan took a few deep breaths, wiped the water droplets or sweat from his brow, slowly stood up, and murmured to himself with a slight smile, "Alright... it's time to go back and meet with them..."
As Mo Chen and the others walked, the water on the ground increased. Jin Yi squinted at the water and said, "This is rainwater seeping in from the surface above. It seems the exit is not far away!"
Mo Chen squinted at the front of him. "Hmph, that damned fox, I've been looking for him for ages! He even dared to make my heart ache. This time I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
Hearing Mo Chen's words, Wu Wenfeng subconsciously glanced at Mo Chen, his eyes suggesting that the two were having an affair!
Mo Chen seemed to notice Wu Wenfeng's suspicious gaze, and immediately glared at him, coldly saying, "You brat, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm warning you, don't think about anything lewd!"
"Ahem, how could that be..." Wu Wenfeng, embarrassed after being exposed, quickly coughed lightly to speak.
Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng, then ignored him and quickened his pace toward his goal.
Gu Liyan walked slowly, supporting himself against the wall. His heavy breathing echoed throughout the cave. Suddenly, his hand slipped, and he stumbled forward, falling to the ground.
Gu Liyan, who was dizzy and disoriented from the fall, sighed helplessly, "I never thought my body would be this weak—it's really embarrassing!"
Gu Liyan got up again. Just as he stood up, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from not far from the cave, and couldn't help but smile slightly. After waiting for a while, he saw Mo Chen and the other two rushing towards him, panting heavily.
Mo Chen charged ahead, followed closely by Wu Wenfeng and Jin Yi. The moment Mo Chen saw Gu Liyan, he was instantly enraged, pointing at Gu Liyan and shouting:
"You damned fox!"
Gu Liyan walked over awkwardly, but before she could say anything, Mo Chen started cursing again:
