Chapter 602: A Secret Passage
Gu Fan and his group knew that the situation was urgent, and were desperate to escape, only to discover that figures were flickering in front of the cave entrance, blocking their way out.
This really was troublesome. In such confined spaces, dodging attacks was a challenge, especially if the primitive men decided to shoot arrows at them.
Lin Xi quickly begged the statue with sincere eyes, "Qian Qing, Qian Qing, for the sake of our old friendship, please spare us. Don’t force me to unleash my wrath, I really don’t want to set anything on fire again."
Upon hearing this, everybody couldn’t help but imagine Lin Xi starting a fire, engulfing the place and trapping them, effectively leading them to a mutual destruction.
It wasn’t worth it, but they couldn’t think of any better plan, as everyone grew increasingly pessimistic. Was this the only option?
Just as they were bracing themselves for a fight upon hearing the approaching commotion from the tunnel, a gust of wind swept over, rustling Su Hui’s hair and sending a jolt through her heart. She realized there was air movement.
Su Hui’s immediate response was to observe the direction her hair was moving in. Tthen she discovered a crack in the stone wall behind her. She kicked it forcefully and the wall flipped to reveal a secret passage.
Unconcerned if the passage was safe or not, the group rushed in, knowing that any danger within it couldn’t be worse than their current predicament.
Before the primitive people could reach them, everyone had entered the secret passage and flipped the stone wall back in place,. They pressed their ears to the wall, listening to the chaotic sounds outside as the primitives searched the cave.
