Chapter 497 Finding the Exit
Everyone looked at each other, Ye Yichen smiled awkwardly, and raised his hand, "Well, how about we hug each other and cry too?"
The others immediately rolled their eyes and said, "No way!"
Luo Li chuckled, "Alright, let's follow Hei Shuo. We can reach the border of the secret realm in one day at most."
She lowered her voice slightly, "According to Qingqing, the exit should be at the edge of the secret realm. There is a spatial crack, but this spatial crack is different from the warm spatial crack that brought us in. That one may be more dangerous. However, we need to go and see for ourselves to know the specific situation."
Bei Mingyu and the others also looked a little solemn. "We haven't even begun to explore the strangeness of this secret realm. Staying any longer will only put us in greater danger."
Song Wanbai nodded and sighed slightly, "No matter what strange things are in this secret realm, with our strength, we have no way to explore it for the time being. It is best to leave as soon as possible."
Luo Li nodded in agreement, turned to face the still-emotional crowd, and raised her voice slightly, "The secret realm is fraught with dangers, and it's not advisable to stay here for long. Everyone, please bear with us for a while, and we'll set off now."
Everyone looked at each other. If they could get out, who would care about whether it was hard or not?!
Almost immediately, they shouted, “Yes!”
Ming Qingzhu sat next to Yuan Wu and responded perfunctorily to his caring words. She lowered her head to hide the gloom in her eyes. She didn't have much time left.
Luo Li and the others flew to the front of the team, "Let's go!"
As Luo Li finished speaking, everyone's pace unconsciously quickened. As they passed through the dense forest, the moonlight sprinkled on them in patches, as if even the light was urging them to move forward.
As the only magical beast familiar with the secret realm, Hei Shuo moved nimbly in front of the team to lead the way, looking back from time to time to confirm the safety of Luo Li and Lan Qingqing. His eyes, which had lost their light and wisdom, were now flashing with determination and vigilance.
Occasionally, a few low roars of monsters could be heard from the bottom of the cliff, but they did not stop their steps. They simply ignored them, not wanting to cause a dispute at this time.
Luo Li walked at the front of the team, holding the black jade pendant given to him by Hei Shuo. It was an important guide for their journey. According to Lan Qingqing, it could sense the direction of the exit of the secret realm.
She would lower her head and gaze from time to time, as if she was communicating silently with the jade pendant, leading everyone step by step towards the unknown boundary.
Although everyone walked quickly, they remained vigilant. It was so quiet all around that only the rapid breathing of each other and the occasional screams of birds and monsters could be heard.
Song Wanbai walked beside Luo Li holding a beam of light, which he condensed with the power of light, adding a touch of warm color to the edge of this dark secret realm.
Yue Hanchuan and the others followed behind Luo Li and the others, blocking the sight of the people behind them.
As they gradually approached the edge of the secret realm, an indescribable fluctuation began to fill the air, as if even the space itself was trembling slightly.
Luo Li looked at the storm that was getting closer and closer in the sky behind her, "How long will it take?"
Lan Qingqing's expression was also somewhat serious. She shook her head and said, "I don't know either. We can only trust Hei Shuo now."
Suddenly, not far ahead, a long and narrow crack appeared faintly in the night, which was out of tune with the surrounding scenery. It emitted a deep and mysterious blue light, which was like a light in the darkness, directly igniting Luo Li.
At the edge of the crack, space was distorted, and occasionally tiny fragments of space fell, flashing with strange light, and then instantly disappeared into thin air.
The team immediately became excited, "Is that the exit to the secret realm?!"
"We are saved! We don't have to die!"
Luo Li glanced at Hei Shuo, noticed his emotional fluctuations, and confirmed that this should be the space crack at the edge of the secret realm.
It is also their only chance to leave the secret realm and not die with it.
The cracks seemed to carry the call of home. The light was faint but extremely attractive, like the brightest star in the night sky, leading the lost wanderers back home.
Luo Li and Song Wanbai looked at each other. No words were needed, as a tacit understanding had already taken root in their hearts.
Luo Li turned around and said, "Wait here for a moment, we'll go observe the situation."
Then, they held the spiritual weapons tightly in their hands and walked steadily towards the slightly narrow crack.
The closer you get to the space crack, the more the surrounding space becomes distorted, like a painting being kneaded by invisible hands, both magnificent and heart-pounding.
The wind, carrying whispers from the cracks in space, gently brushed past my ears, carrying a mysterious and unfamiliar breath.
Luo Li's skirt fluttered in the wind, being lifted and lowered by the force of space. She narrowed her eyes, "It is indeed a space crack with lethal power."
Hei Shuo's eyes became sharper, and he glanced around vigilantly to ensure the safety of the two girls behind him.
At the edge of the crack, time seemed to freeze, and each falling particle of space debris was like the most exquisite firework, short-lived and brilliant, adding a ray of hope to this desperate journey.
Luo Li stopped at the edge of the crack and felt it carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Lan Xiaoxiao and the others and said with a smile, "Although it carries a violent aura, the turbulence is not severe. You should suffer some minor injuries when you get out of here, but it will definitely not be life-threatening."
Hei Shuo leaned forward slightly, his gaze piercing the darkness, locked onto the hazy scene beyond the crack. The wind seemed to have a form here, carrying a biting chill and a subtle distortion of time and space, gently brushing against everyone's cheeks.
Lan Qingqing's smile seemed particularly warm in the dim light, and her eyes flashed with determination and encouragement, as if they could dispel all fear.
She patted Heishuo's head and said, "Don't worry, I will take you out and restore your little head!"
There was no wisdom in Hei Shuo's eyes, only the nature hidden deep within his soul that drove him not to harm the two people whose auras were very familiar.
But this does not mean that his consciousness has recovered. He is still in a state of no wisdom, so he can't understand the strange words that Lan Qingqing says from time to time. He just moves his nose as a response.
Behind Luo Li, Lan Xiaoxiao and An Shuxue clung to each other tightly. Their eyes held both uneasiness about the unknown and complete trust and reliance on Luo Li. "Ali, this is it, right?"
Luo Li nodded, finally relaxing a little, "Yes, this is it."
Lan Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll give it a try first."
Luo Li was sure that there was nothing wrong here, so she nodded and said, "Don't go in directly, just test the edge."
As Luo Li nodded gently, indicating that it was okay to move forward, Lan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to take the first step, "Okay, I'll take note."
