Escape after crossing

However, the rain didn't seem to stop, but got heavier. Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming had no choice but to wait silently in the cave for the rain to stop.

As the incident happened suddenly, they did not prepare dry firewood in advance, so they could not make a fire to keep warm. As time passed, the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping. The two could only sit there helplessly, hoping that the rain would stop as soon as possible.

The two found this cave in a hurry. It was spacious and deep, as if it was a shelter specially prepared by nature for them. However, facing this unknown area, neither of them dared to be careless, for fear of causing any unnecessary trouble.

They carefully found a place to sit down in the cave, their footsteps so light that they could hardly hear any sound. Every step was tense and cautious, as if they were afraid of disturbing some mysterious existence hidden in the darkness.

Jiang Ziluo leaned against Leng Chenming tightly, her body trembling slightly, and a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She was always alert, and if there was any danger, she would immediately pull Leng Chenming into the space to avoid it.

At the same time, Leng Chenming was also concentrating on paying attention to the movements around him. His tall and straight figure was like an indestructible barrier, guarding Jiang Ziluo.

He secretly made up his mind that if he encountered danger, he would do his best to protect the woman beside him and not let her come to any harm.

As time went by, a strange silence filled the cave. The only sound was the rain outside. The two of them sat together quietly, and they could hear each other's breathing clearly.

Although they were filled with fear, they still supported each other, giving each other strength and courage. During this long wait, their eyes occasionally met, revealing their concern and dependence on each other.

Finally, a breeze blew past them from behind, bringing some fresh air. Jiang Ziluo's tense nerves relaxed a little, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Leng Chenming with a smile.

"Was there any wind blowing just now?" This sentence was like a flash of lightning that broke the silence, making the surrounding atmosphere instantly subtle.

"It seems so. What's wrong?" There was a hint of doubt in Leng Chenming's voice, as if he was a little surprised by this sudden topic.

A breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness. Where did the wind come from? Where will it go? This seemingly simple question triggered endless reverie at this moment.

"There is wind coming from behind, which means that this cave is connected or has other exits. Leng Chenming, do you want to go and take a look?" Her eyes flashed with determination and expectation, as if she was challenging this unknown world.

Leng Chenming frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. He knew that this might be a risk, but it was also an opportunity. If there really were other exits, perhaps he could find a path to hope.

He took a deep breath and made a decision: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

The two of them walked cautiously in the direction of the wind, their footsteps so light that they could hardly be heard. The cave was filled with a damp smell, and the water droplets on the stone wall reflected a faint light, giving people a mysterious and weird feeling.

Every step is full of uncertainty, and they don't know what is waiting for them ahead. But it is this unknown that makes their hearts beat faster and their blood boil.

Finally, they came to a fork in the road. The passage on the left was dark and deep, while the passage on the right was slightly wider and brighter.

Which way should I choose? Leng Chenming hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to choose the right passage.

The two walked carefully along the passage, taking every step very cautiously, for fear of touching any mechanism or trap.

This passage is not only quite long, but its width also changes frequently. Sometimes it can only accommodate one person passing sideways, while other times it is wide enough for several people to walk side by side.

In this way, they groped in the darkness for a long time, and finally saw a ray of light in front of them. As the distance got closer, the light became bigger and bigger, and finally appeared completely in front of them - the exit was there!

The two quickened their pace and rushed out of the cave impatiently. The rain outside had stopped long ago, and the sun shone through the clouds onto them, as if covering them with a layer of golden gauze, making them feel extremely warm.

All I saw before me was a vast bamboo forest. I couldn't see the end at all. It was also eerily quiet here, with no signs of human habitation at all.

This sudden change caused Jiang Ziluo's originally excited and happy mood to plummet to the bottom in an instant. She thought she had walked out of the deep mountains and old forests, but the fact was obviously not the case.

Leng Chenming noticed the change in Jiang Ziluo's mood. He walked up to her, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "Don't be discouraged. We will definitely find a way out. Are you tired? How about taking a rest first, and then continue on?"

Jiang Ziluo shook her head and rejected Leng Chenming's proposal. She was still concerned about the things outside the mountain. At this moment, she couldn't help but regret her trip to Lingxi Country.

"Leng Chenming, I'm really sorry! If I hadn't insisted on going to the Lingxi Palace, I might not have encountered such trouble. If something unexpected really happened, I would be unforgivable!"

"Little fool, how can you say that? This is my own decision, and you didn't force me to do it. Don't worry, as long as I am here, everything will be fine." Leng Chenming held Jiang Ziluo's hand tightly, his eyes firm and full of strength.

Regret and annoyance were only short-term emotional fluctuations. Jiang Ziluo was definitely not the kind of person who would fall into self-pity. She quickly adjusted her mindset, cheered up, and continued to move forward without hesitation, looking for a way out of the predicament.

Seeing Jiang Ziluo's mood change so quickly, Leng Chenming couldn't help but shake his head, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

He muttered to himself: "What a child! He changes his expression so quickly." It seemed that in his eyes, Jiang Ziluo was just an innocent and carefree child.

However, it is this character of innocence and tenacity that makes Leng Chenming more curious and concerned about her.

Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming were trudging through the bamboo forest with difficulty. They were so focused on the road ahead that they were completely unaware that the bamboo forest behind them was quietly undergoing subtle changes.

At this moment, Leng Chenming suddenly grabbed Jiang Ziluo's hand tightly, pulled her into his arms, and then flew over the bamboo forest.

At the same time, two long sharp logs appeared where they had just stood. It was not until this moment that Leng Chenming realized that the bamboo forest they had just passed through had undergone a drastic change.

On the surface, it seemed that they had walked quite a distance, but in fact they were not far away from where they were.

Jiang Ziluo stood on a high place, his eyes keenly saw the mystery, and turned to look at Leng Chenming and said:

"Could it be that this bamboo forest has been set up by someone? If so, there is a high possibility that someone is hiding inside or outside the bamboo forest."

Her tone was full of doubt and vigilance, and her eyes were flickering with thought. Leng Chenming frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he agreed with Jiang Ziluo's guess.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became tense, as if an invisible pressure was enveloping them.
