Demon Lord 3

After digging for a while, we finally crawled into the cave. Feeling a bit guilty, we used a sleight of hand to block the entrance to prevent the thieves from discovering us. We even had our companions descend the mountain in the middle of the night to avoid being spotted. Once inside, we were stunned by the blue fluorescence before us. The cave was filled with blue crystals, exactly as I had imagined, even more beautiful than I had imagined. Many things were beyond words. It was vast; we walked for a long time without reaching the end, and it seemed difficult to get out. Zhou Chuyuan took my hand in the darkness: "How's it going? Is the path a bit uneven? If you're unsteady, just grip my hand tightly, and I'll react quickly." I knew he took my hand because he saw me trip several times on the uneven path, and, crucially, our flashlight was out of power—the battery was in our backpack. We were now in a situation where we couldn't find danger, nor could we see safety. Wu Luansen shouted from ahead, "Those behind, pay attention! Especially those at the rear, keep a close watch on what's behind you! Stay in contact with those in front!" "Keep in touch, don't fall behind. Falling behind at this point could mean getting lost and never finding us again. This cave looks very dangerous; it's not something we can just easily succeed at. Also, the path here is very steep. We should be going downhill, and the bottom might already be at the foot of the mountain, but given the steepness of the slope, we'd probably fall to our deaths. Everyone, help each other out. I have some ropes here; everyone take them out and tie the safety ropes together. That way, if one person accidentally slips, everyone's strength can pull that person up." Lin Zhenfei saw that I didn't have a flashlight and took a few steps over: "Sister Yue, is your flashlight out of power? I have a charging box here; give it to me, and I'll charge it for you." Hearing this, a glimmer of hope rekindled. I gave him the flashlight, and Lin Zhenfei patted it and put it in the charging box. Then he took out a smaller flashlight from it: "This one doesn't last as long. Use this for now, and we'll switch to this one when it runs out of power. This charging box can last for many days." After saying that, he ran to the front of the group. He called out, and everyone took their devices without power to him to charge. Xing Zhichuan walked at the front, watching the route intently, his nerves on edge, afraid of making a mistake. Zheng Tianlong and Zuo Chenwei brought up the rear, protecting us and making us safer. Our position at the back of the group meant we could act quickly in case of danger. Wu Luanpei walked ahead of me, constantly watching his step. Suddenly, I almost slipped and fell. Zhou Chuyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled me into his arms. Zheng Tianlong noticed this. In this situation, I instinctively tugged at Zuo Chenwei. Just then, the path behind us ended, and Zuo Chenwei fell. Due to inertia, Zheng Tianlong almost fell as well. I was in front of him, being forcefully pulled back by Zhou Chuyuan. Seeing this, our companions quickly came to the edge of the cliff to pull us up. Looking down, we saw a bottomless abyss. Soon, our companions pulled us back up. The path behind us was completely blocked, not just the one we had just come from, but the entire route was now blocked. We could only go forward. This path is passable. I touched the damp soil and noticed a change in the road surface. The path we used before was hard, but now it's sandy and very damp. It seems the soil quality is different. After Wu Luansen ran over, he found that the spiritual energy here was very abundant, as if it were some kind of dividing line. The power here is very pure. We absorbed all the power here, and it felt like we were in a place with plenty of oxygen, where we could breathe freely. Our bodies were filled with this pure power, like running on a grassland. The excitement was irrepressible and couldn't be suppressed by other troubles. There was a feeling of soaring to the sky. Calming down, I thought this might not be a bad thing. Even if those people found the cave entrance and came in, they would never catch up with us if they found the path ahead was blocked. After lamenting our experience today, we didn't dare to stop and kept moving forward. Fortunately, we took turns resting, otherwise, with our physical strength, we couldn't have lasted for so many days. The true god told me that this place was full of dangers, and it seems that it wasn't an exaggeration.
