Chapter 1309: Still Discovered
At this moment, Gu Fan was trying hard to control his limbs and breathing rate, making every effort not to make a sound. He didn’t know whether the three-eyed monster’s hearing was acute, but he didn’t want to take any chances.
It was very dark here, with no light shining in; if he turned on his flashlight, it would be tantamount to telling the monster, "I am here." Therefore, Gu Fan could only cautiously feel his way along the wall.
Should he suddenly find himself no longer touching a wall while walking, it would mean he was either at a corner or a place similar to an intersection. Gu Fan would quickly turn on the flashlight and then swiftly turn it off after catching a glimpse of the surroundings.
"If only I had night vision goggles!" Gu Fan sighed as he took out a dagger, intending to carve a mark at the corner of the wall.
But the wall was too hard, and it was difficult for the dagger to leave a mark. Gu Fan exerted a lot of effort and, accidentally, the dagger fell from his hand.
At that instant, the sound of the dagger hitting the ground was more terrifying than thunder. Gu Fan held his breath in a flash, his heartbeat quickened, and cold sweat broke out.
After a long wait, when nothing abnormal happened, Gu Fan took a slow, gentle deep breath and then picked up the dagger to continue scratching on the wall.
"Please bless me; I beg that nothing disrupts my work at this time," Gu Fan prayed in his heart a thousand, ten thousand times until the task was finally completed.
Gu Fan didn’t breathe a sigh of relief; this was his tenth mark. The place was large; to make sure everyone noticed, he would need to carve many more marks.
