Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, and the others quickly fired at the insects.
Zhang Jing, Gu Qingqing, and Chen Zhe's guns suddenly ran out of bullets, they said to Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng.
"Sister Yunxi, Brother Fuheng, our guns are out of bullets."
Ye Yunxi said to Chen Zhe and the other two.
"Those out of bullets, get behind us, quick!"
Chen Zhe led Zhang Jing and walked behind Ye Yunxi and the others, while Zhang Haiyi shielded Gu Qingqing behind him to protect her safety.
Lu Hengyi didn't have many bullets left, he said to them.
"What kind of bugs are these? We can't kill them all, and the more we shoot, the more there are. I'm almost out of bullets. We need to think of something quickly, or we'll all die here."
Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi have a space with weapons inside, but they cannot expose it.
Fu Heng shouted anxiously at Chen Zhe.
"Ah Zhe, those of you who are out of bullets, quickly look for traps, we're almost out of bullets too."
Chen Zhecai then realized what was happening and said, "Okay, I'll find it right away."
Then Zhang Jing and Gu Qingqing were asked to search around together.
The three of them groped along the wall. Lu Hengyi was out of bullets, so he quickly went to the back and joined them in groping along the wall.
At this point, only Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, Zhang Haiyi, and Xuan Yu remained with some bullets. But they wouldn't last much longer.
They shouted, "Hurry up!" as they swatted at the insects.
At the critical moment, Lu Hengyi found a protruding stone and tried to twist it. Unexpectedly, a wall behind them opened up.
Gu Qingqing and Chen Zhe were overjoyed to see that Lu Hengyi had found the mechanism and opened the stone door.
Lu Hengyi shouted at Ye Yunxi and the others.
"Yunxi, Heng-ge, the stone gate has opened! Let's go!"
Fu Heng fired his gun while shouting at Lu Hengyi and the others.
"You guys go in first, quick! Yunxi, Haiyi, Xuanyu, you go first, I'll bring up the rear."
At this point, they could not refuse and could only follow Fu Heng's arrangements. If they yielded to the other party, they would not be able to leave.
After some of them went inside, Ye Yunxi shouted at Fu Heng.
"Aheng, come in quickly!"
"Brother Heng, come in quickly!"
"Come in quickly, Heng-ge!"
Fu Heng slowly moved toward the stone gate behind him.
After firing the last shot, Lu Hengyi quickly slipped through the stone door. With lightning speed, he twisted the mechanism inside the stone door and closed it the instant Fu Heng entered, keeping the insects outside.
After Fu Heng came in, Ye Yunxi asked him with concern.
"Aheng, how are you? Are you alright?"
Fu Heng patted Ye Yunxi's head and said.
"I'm fine, don't worry! We don't know where we are now, and we still need to find our way out."
They were in such a hurry to find their way in that they hadn't had a proper look around the place yet. Only now, after hearing what Fu Heng said, did they finally see what it looked like inside.
This is also a passageway, but where it leads is unknown.
Ye Yunxi looked ahead and said.
"Let's leave here first! Also, everyone be careful."
Chen Zhe and the others nodded and slowly walked inside, flashlights in hand.
Ye Yunxi walked along, observing the passage as she went. She had no idea what lay ahead.
Fortunately, there are no more of those bugs here, and the walls are no longer covered with those tiny holes.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the passageway widened, but they had no idea where the road ended or where the exit was.
Ye Yunxi and the others walked along this path for more than an hour. It was winding and meandering, with both uphill and downhill sections, and there was no end in sight.
Chen Zhe couldn't stand it anymore and complained.
"What's wrong with this passageway? It seems to go on forever, going uphill one minute and downhill the next, with not even a fork in the road. Where is it taking us?"
Zhang Haiyi looked around and said.
"This mountain is indeed a bit strange. From the outside, it doesn't look very big, but once you get inside, you realize it's not that simple."
Seeing that they were tired from walking, Ye Yunxi said to them.
"Let's rest here for a while before we leave."
They then sat down against the wall to rest.
Chen Zhe took out water and gave one bottle to each person.
Gu Qingqing took a sip of water and said.
"Sister Yunxi, how long do you think it will take us to find the exit?"
Ye Yunxi didn't know either. She had been walking this road for over an hour and still didn't know what it was for or what was inside.
"I don't know either. How about this, Ah Heng and I will go ahead and take a look. If we find an exit, we'll come back and let you know."
When Zhang Jing heard that Ye Yunxi wanted to go scout ahead with Fu Heng alone, she quickly said something.
"Let's not. We're not familiar with this area. What if we get separated from the group if we encounter a trap? Let's rest for a bit, and then we'll go together!"
Xuan Yu frowned and said.
"Sister Yunxi, you must be tired too. Take a rest first, and then we'll all go together."
Others echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, don't go out alone, it would be troublesome if you encountered danger."
Seeing that they were all trying to persuade her not to go and scout ahead, Ye Yunxi decided not to.
After resting for about ten minutes, Ye Yunxi checked the time and it was past five in the afternoon.
"Let's go, it's almost six o'clock. We should hurry up and find a way out, otherwise we'll run out of energy."
After they finished speaking, they got up from the ground and continued walking forward.
After walking for about ten more minutes, we finally saw some light ahead.
Ye Yunxi and the others were overjoyed and shouted excitedly.
"There's light! There's light! We've finally found the exit!"
They ran quickly toward the light, with Chen Zhe in the lead.
He didn't notice that there was a cliff in front of him, and by the time he realized it, he had fallen off.
Lu Hengyi, running behind Chen Zhe, also noticed the cliff ahead and saw that Chen Zhe was about to fall. He shouted at him.
"Chen Zhe, watch out!"
Those running behind saw Chen Zhe fall and cried out in alarm.
"Chen Zhe!"
Chen Zhe panicked, but luckily there were vines there, and he managed to grab onto them as he fell.
Looking down, he saw a large flower about to bite him, and it even had teeth.
Lu Hengyi ran over quickly and looked down the cliff. He saw Chen Zhe clinging to the vines and looking down.
Lu Hengyi called out to him.
"Chen Zhe, are you alright?"
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng ran over and looked down.
Chen Zhe looked up at them and said nervously.
"Pull me up quickly!"
Xuan Yu and Lu Hengyi quickly grabbed the vines and pulled him up.
After Chen Zhe went up, he sat on the ground and patted his chest, still feeling a bit shaken.
Zhang Jing knelt down to help him catch his breath, looking at him with concern.
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng looked down, and what they saw was alarming. Below was a deep pit filled with flowers, plants, and several large trees.
The flower that was about to bite Chen Zhe turned out to be a man-eating flower!
Upon seeing this, Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng's expressions changed; they hadn't expected there to be such a place here.
