"You beasts!" Lin Cuiying shouted angrily. She tried to rush out, but the entrance to the cave was blocked by flames.
The man in gray also changed his expression drastically. He quickly looked around, trying to find a way to escape.
However, this cave only has one exit, which is now blocked by flames.
Ju Yatou was protected behind Lin Cuiying. She was so frightened that she trembled all over and dared not look at the scene in front of her.
Lin Cuiying hugged Juya tightly, trying to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Juya. We'll be alright."
However, she herself was not sure.
She knew that if they couldn't find a way to escape soon, they would really die here.
Flames roared at the cave entrance, and smoke gradually spread.
Lin Cuiying's eyes were watering from the fumes, and she was having difficulty breathing.
Looking at the raging flames at the cave entrance, she was filled with despair.
Are they really going to be burned alive here?
No! She wasn't willing to give up! She couldn't just abandon this idea!
Lin Cuiying took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She began to carefully observe the situation inside the cave, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, she noticed a small crack in the top of the cave.
Although the crack is small, it might allow them to escape.
Lin Cuiying was overjoyed and immediately told the gray-clothed man about her idea.
Upon hearing this, the man in gray's eyes lit up.
He immediately began to climb, trying to escape through the crack.
The man in gray moved quickly and soon climbed to the crevice.
He tried to pry the crack open, attempting to widen it.
Lin Cuiying held Ju Yatou in her arms, watching his movements nervously.
Time passed second by second, and the flames burned fiercely at the cave entrance.
Lin Cuiying's heart also tightened; she didn't know if the man in gray would succeed.
Just as she was extremely anxious, the system's voice suddenly rang in her mind, "Host, why didn't you summon me, the little goofball, at such a dangerous time?"
Lin Cuiying was taken aback, then her heart leaped with joy.
How could she have forgotten about the system?
Although this system is unreliable most of the time, it can still come in handy in critical moments.
Lin Cuiying immediately called out to the system in her mind, "System, quickly think of a way to get us out."
The silly guy chuckled, "Host, don't worry. I'll take a look for you right away."
After saying that, the system began searching its mind for ways to escape.
A moment later, the silly guy spoke up, "Host, you can't get out of that rift."
Lin Cuiying's heart sank, and she pressed, "Then what should we do?"
"Host, don't worry. You still have me, don't you? I'm your cheat code."
Lin Cuiying rolled her eyes. "Alright, stop joking around. Tell me your solution."
The silly guy then said seriously, "Host, you can go out from the other side of the cave."
"The other side?" Lin Cuiying was stunned. "Doesn't this cave only have one exit?"
The silly guy chuckled, "Host, you've forgotten about my X-ray vision. I just checked, and there's another passage on the other side of this cave, but it's blocked by a big rock. You just need to move that rock and you can get out that way."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cuiying was overjoyed. "Really?"
The silly guy rolled his eyes. "Host, why would I lie to you? I'm your system."
At that moment, the man in gray also came down from the crack.
He shook his head at Lin Cuiying, "You can't get out of that place."
Although Lin Cuiying already knew the way out, she couldn't say it directly. Instead, she pointed to the cave and said, "How about we go inside and look for an exit?"
The man in gray shook his head again. "Before that group of people appeared, I had already checked this cave. There is only one exit."
"Are we just going to stand here and wait to be burned to death?" Lin Cuiying pretended to be a little sad.
The man in gray couldn't think of a good solution either, as the thick smoke inside the cave continued to rise.
Thick smoke kept billowing towards them, making it difficult for them to open their eyes.
Lai Pichun was still mocking them outside the cave, "Lin Cuiying, you don't know, do you? This kind of firewood of mine isn't ordinary firewood; it's been soaked in kerosene. Last time I didn't burn you to death, but this time I'll see how you escape!"
Lin Cuiying's heart sank upon hearing this.
Then they heard Lai Pichun say to the others, "Block the entrance, don't let that bitch escape."
The flames grew even stronger, completely blocking the entrance to the cave.
Lin Cuiying carried Lin Yueju and ran into the cave. Seeing that there was no way out of the cave, the man in gray could only follow.
The cave wasn't large, and they soon reached its end, where there was nowhere left to go.
Thick smoke filled the cave, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
Lin Cuiying's eyes were watering from the fumes, but she tried her best to remain calm.
Looking at the little girl in her arms, she felt a surge of strength.
She couldn't give up like this; she had to find a way out!
Just then, the system spoke again, "Host, it's that big rock. You just need to move it and you can get out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cuiying immediately pointed to the large rock and said to the man in gray, "Look, all this thick smoke is coming out from here. There must be an exit here."
The man in gray looked in the direction Lin Cuiying was pointing.
Sure enough, he discovered that the thick smoke was coming out from the cracks in the large rock.
He was overjoyed. Could there really be a way out here?
The man in gray immediately walked to the large rock and began to push it forcefully.
However, the boulder was too heavy for him to move.
Seeing this, Lin Cuiying immediately put down Lin Yueju and went over to help.
She and the man in gray pushed the large rock together with all their might, and even Lin Yueju joined in.
With the combined efforts of the three people, the large rock finally began to move slowly.
Lin Cuiying and the man in gray were overjoyed, and they pushed the large rock even harder.
Finally, through their efforts, the large rock was moved to create a gap large enough for a person to pass through.
A dark hole appeared before them, and thick smoke billowed out from it.
Lin Cuiying and the man in gray exchanged a smile; they knew they had finally found a way out!
He immediately picked up Ju Yatou and crawled out through the hole.
When they crawled out of the cave, they found that they had reached the other side of the cave.
This is a remote valley surrounded by dense forests.
Lin Cuiying took a deep breath of fresh air, her heart filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
She looked back at the cave, her heart filled with emotion.
If it weren't for the system, they probably would have died here today.
