Transformed into Little Fubao, known as the Little Expert in Pitfalls

However, as Ye Ying got closer, he noticed that Ji Wuchen had his eyes closed, as if he was immersed in a deep state of meditation.

Ye Ying walked up to him, stopped, and called softly, "Teacher Ji... Teacher Ji, wake up."

After a moment, Ji Wuchen finally slowly opened his eyes, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

It was as if I had just woken up from a long dream and was still a little unfamiliar with the surrounding environment.

Ye Ying asked him directly: "Teacher Ji, why are you here?"

"I don't know what happened... I woke up here." Ji Wuchen shook his head blankly, with a hint of helplessness and confusion in his voice.

Ye Ying's heart was full of doubts, but she knew very well that this was not the time to worry about these issues.

So, she gritted her teeth and decided to put aside all her questions and concentrate on exploring this...underground world.

Ye Ying carefully helped Ji Wuchen up—the man she respected as Teacher Ji—and then found a relatively quiet corner to sit down with him.

The two of them took out some food from their bags and chewed it silently to restore their strength and take a short rest.

During this short rest period, no one said much, as if everyone was thinking about how to deal with the current predicament.

After their strength was restored a little, the two stood up again, looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and then walked towards the depths of the tunnel.

The tunnel twists and turns like a sleeping dragon stretching its body into the endless darkness.

Along the way, the air was filled with the rich smell of earth. The unique smell was pervasive, making people feel a close connection with the earth.

From time to time, dirt fell from the walls, as if telling them about the vicissitudes of time.

Every step carries unknown dangers, but Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen are both fearless at this moment~~~

Firmness is their belief.

They believe that as long as they face it bravely, they will always find the answers and uncover the secrets hidden behind this underground world.

They may leave here soon...

There may also be unexpected gains.

Suddenly! The wind roared like a tiger and swept over. Ye Ying couldn't help but shiver. A cold and damp breath instantly enveloped her.

Ye Ying subconsciously let out a sharp scream. Upon hearing the sound, Ji Wuchen hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong? Ying'er..."

There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice.

"I don't know why... I suddenly felt so cold... cold... so cold..." Ye Ying answered with difficulty, her lips trembling.

As time went on, her words became more and more unclear, as if swallowed by the cold.

At this moment, Ye Ying's mind and body seemed to be corroded by endless chill, unable to break free.

At first, Ye Ying could still clearly express what she wanted to say, but gradually, the coldness became more and more intense, and she almost lost the ability to speak.

She felt as if she was almost frozen and her thoughts gradually became confused.

Although Ji Wuchen could not feel the same degree of coldness personally, he knew from Ye Ying's pale face and trembling body that the other party was suffering great pain.

Seeing his beloved one suffering, his heart was filled with pity.
