Gu Nianqing put down the book in her hand, glanced at the scene outside the space, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Father, Mom and Dad will be fine. Maybe we'll even have some unexpected gains this time?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinxiang glanced at Gu Nianqing, who was feigning mystery, and then at the two people outside the space. His worries miraculously disappeared because of Gu Nianqing's words.
"You all wait outside. Qingqing and I will go in and take a look."
Gu Nanxun took a deep breath, then took Lin Qing's hand and turned to speak to everyone.
"Young Master Gu, no! You and Miss Lin wait outside! We'll go in and check it out."
Uncle Zhang frowned upon hearing Gu Nanxun's words and said in disapproval.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, we'll be fine."
Gu Nanxun's tone was firm, and his eyes revealed an undeniable determination.
Uncle Zhang involuntarily stepped back. At that moment, he suddenly saw Zhao Jinxiang's shadow in Gu Nanxun. He sighed helplessly and stood aside watching the two of them.
Lin Qing held Gu Nanxun's hand tightly, and the two carefully walked towards the cave entrance.
"Uncle Zhang, you wait outside, don't come in. Wait here for a day. If we still haven't come out after a day, then leave."
When they reached the cave entrance, Lin Qing turned to Uncle Zhang and spoke softly, but with equal firmness.
Looking into their determined eyes, Uncle Zhang knew they had made up their minds. He sighed and nodded, "Alright, be careful, and make sure you get out safely."
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing nodded, and then they walked together toward the entrance of the cave.
As soon as the two approached the entrance, a suction force pulled them both in. When they came to their senses, they were already standing deep inside the cave.
"Brother Nanxun, what's going on?"
"System, what's going on?"
Lin Qing was startled by the suction force. After regaining her senses, she hurriedly asked Gu Nanxun and the system for answers.
"Listen to what the system has to say!"
Gu Nanxun replied upon hearing this.
"System, what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing continued to inquire with the system.
"..."
After waiting for a while without hearing the system's voice, Lin began to panic. She reached out and grabbed Gu Nanxun's arm tightly, continuing to call out in her mind, "System, system, are you there?"
She called the system several times, but received no response. She tried to pull Gu Nanxun into the space, but found that they were still in the same place. Lin Qing tried several times, but could not get into the space.
"Brother Nanxun, what should we do? We can't contact the system anymore, and we can't access the space either."
Lin Qing gripped Gu Nanxun's arm tighter, and said to him in a panic.
Gu Nanxun reached out and patted Lin Qing's arm without saying a word. With a thought, an apple appeared in his hand and then disappeared. Then a bunch of grapes appeared in his hand.
"Fortunately, the space is still usable."
Gu Nanxun breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely get out of here."
Gu Nanxun reached out and hugged Lin Qing, patting her shoulder comfortingly.
"So what should we do next?"
Under Gu Nanxun's comforting words, Lin Qing gradually calmed down.
"Let's explore the cave first and see if we can find any clues."
Lin Qing nodded upon hearing this, then took out two flashlights from her spatial storage, keeping one for herself and handing the other to Gu Nanxun.
The cave was dark and damp, filled with an indescribable sense of oppression. The beam of a flashlight cast flickering shadows on the cave walls.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun ventured deeper into the cave, proceeding cautiously with every step, afraid of disturbing some unknown entity.
The cave grew deeper and darker until they came to a huge underground cavity.
In the center of the void lay a colossal black hole, like a wound on the earth, deep and mysterious. Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing stood at the edge of the black hole, feeling an intense pull, as if to draw them into the endless darkness.
Suddenly, Lin Qing noticed that a familiar porcelain bottle had fallen to the edge of the black hole.
Lin Qing quickly walked over and picked up the porcelain bottle from the ground.
"This is my elder brother's porcelain bottle. This is the porcelain bottle I gave to my elder brother to store ginseng pills."
Lin Qing suddenly spoke loudly to Gu Nanxun.
Gu Nanxun took the porcelain bottle from Lin Qing's hand, then opened it and looked inside.
"The porcelain bottle is empty. My brother must be injured. It seems he has already taken the ginseng pills inside."
Gu Nanxun said with a heavy expression.
"Big brother, are you here?" Lin Qing suddenly shouted, her voice echoing in the hollow, but she received no response.
"Qingqing, don't worry, your brother will be alright!"
Gu Nanxun gripped Lin Qing's hand tightly. He knew they had to speed things up; if his elder brother was already injured, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Next, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun began searching for clues around the black hole, hoping to find traces of their elder brother. Time ticked by, and Lin Qing grew increasingly anxious and uneasy.
Just then, they noticed some marks on a rock at the edge of the black hole. Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was a groove.
"Brother Nanxun, why does this groove look a little familiar to me?"
Lin Qing carefully observed the groove in front of her. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
Seeing this, Gu Nanxun also carefully examined the groove in front of him. He also felt it was familiar, but like Lin Qing, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
As the night deepened, the darkness in the cave seemed to grow even more intense.
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing searched the vicinity but could not find any clues.
"If all else fails, we'll have to go inside."
Lin Qing stared at the black hole in the middle of the cave and suddenly spoke.
"No, let's look around some more. This black hole gives me a really bad feeling; we absolutely can't go in."
Gu Nanxun shook his head. He always trusted his intuition, and over the years, his intuition had helped him many times.
"But we've searched the whole place, and there's nothing here except that groove."
Lin Qing said somewhat dejectedly that this was the biggest setback she had encountered since she transmigrated and was reborn. Normally, everything would go smoothly for her.
"A groove, yes, it must be a groove, but what is this groove for? Why does it feel so familiar?"
When Gu Nanxun heard Lin Qing mention the groove, he couldn't help but turn his attention back to it. Based on his intuition, he felt that the problem must lie with the groove.
