Xiao Chen accepted the talisman and thanked him.
Bai Feng glanced at the sky and said, "It's about time. Let's go in. Remember, no matter what you see, your priority is survival. No matter how good the treasure is, you have to be alive to take it."
Shi Meng was the first to jump in, followed closely by Tang Ling. Bai Feng gestured for Xiao Chen and Bai Yiluo to follow, while he brought up the rear.
Xiao Chen and Shi Tou exchanged a glance and then stepped into the mine.
Upon entering the cave, an even stronger smell of rust assaulted the senses. The light from the illumination beads could only illuminate a few feet in the darkness. The distant sound of dripping water and faint animal roars sent chills down one's spine.
