Su Ruojin pulled Xiao Yanchu over, pointed at the little rock toad, and whispered, "Follow it."
Xiao Yanchu immediately understood her meaning, nodded, and quietly walked out of the secret room with Su Ruojin, keeping their distance from the little rock toad.
The little guy jumped and jumped until he landed behind a rock at the foot of the wall and didn't come out for a long time.
The two approached and discovered a hole behind the rock. It turned out that the little guy had sneaked out through the hole to play.
To prove their theory, the two took turns guarding the cave.
After what seemed like an eternity, after six rotations, Xiao Yanchu saw the little creature crawl into the cave, swim across the lava, and return to the stone platform.
So this hole leads outside!
Such a small hole is certainly not enough for them to go out, but they can dig outwards from here, and one day they will be able to dig through.
Rock toads choose burrowing sites that are relatively close to the outside.
Once the hole is dug and people leave, it can be sealed up to protect the place from being discovered, allowing the rock toads to continue to thrive and multiply there.
With this understanding, Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin began taking turns using the Xuan Tie sword to carve the hole.
Just as they expected, the outside of the wall was all mud. Although it was hard, it was still digable, it was just a matter of how long it would take.
Just as the two of them had dug the hole wide enough for a person to crawl through, they suddenly felt the cave start to shake.
An earthquake?
The two men looked at each other, realizing that if there really was an earthquake, they would truly perish here.
Fortunately, the vibration only lasted for a short while before it stopped.
Just as Su Ruojin was about to continue digging, she heard faint voices coming from inside.
"king......"
“Su…”
The sound wasn't very clear.
Xiao Yanchu also heard it and came to Su Ruojin's side. The two of them held their breath and listened attentively.
Sure enough, they heard a voice again, but this time it was clearer: "Your Highness...Miss Su..."
It's Hu Qing!
It's Hu Qing!
Hu Qing's voice seemed to come from the bottom of the pool, so the two of them hurried over.
Looking up, it felt like the rocks above were shaking!
Someone is trying to pry up the big rock on top!
"Hu Qing, we're here." Xiao Yanchu used his internal energy to send out his voice.
A moment later, Hu Qing's excited voice could be heard: "Your Highness, it's Your Highness! I can hear Your Highness's voice! Quick, dig! Your Highness is still alive! Dig!"
The noise grew louder and louder. An hour later, a small stone that had been blocking the bottom of the pool fell down, revealing a hole.
"Your Highness, can you hear me?" Hu Qing called down through the small hole.
“I can hear you. Be careful, there’s a cave down there,” Xiao Yanchu replied.
At that moment, a woman's voice came through, filled with anxiety and on the verge of tears: "Your Highness, is Miss Su alright? Is she with you?"
Su Ruojin was very surprised to hear this voice. It was Madam Su's voice. Why would she come to Shenyu Mountain?
“Miss Su is with me, and she's fine.”
"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, did you hear that? Miss Su is alright, that's great, Miss Su is alright." Then, a faint sound of crying could be heard.
"Your Highness, please move aside, we need to move some stones," Hu Qing's voice came.
Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin quickly retreated to the other side.
With the sound of stones rolling down, the cave entrance opened.
