Chapter 32: Difficult Journey in the Cave, Unpredictable Dangers

In the abyss, there was only a suffocating darkness. Lei Yi could only feel the whistling of the wind in his ears, and his body fell rapidly, as if there would be no end.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Lei Yi fell heavily to the ground, a sharp pain radiating from his back, as if his bones were about to fall apart. He struggled to get up, but found himself in a small, dark space, unable to see his hand in front of his face.

"Miss Liuli? Where are you?" Lei Yi endured the pain and shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the small space, but there was no response.

"Crack, click..."

A small crackling sound came from the front, startling Lei Yi. He quickly looked in the direction of the sound. In the dim light, he saw that the ground ahead was covered with dense spikes, gleaming coldly and making him feel creepy. Even more terrifying, these spikes continued to emerge from the ground, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, making it impossible to defend against them.

"Miss Liuli, be careful!" Lei Yi's heart tightened and he quickly reminded her.

"I'm fine." Dongfang Liuli's voice came from not far away, with a hint of pain in her tone, "I think I sprained my foot."

Lei Yi looked over when he heard the sound and saw Dongfang Liuli standing not far from him. Her face was a little pale and her brows were slightly furrowed. It was obvious that she was enduring the pain.

"I'll be right there!" Lei Yi said, taking a deep breath and carefully jumping forward among the spikes.

"Be careful!" Dongfang Liuli warned.

Lei Yi did not dare to be careless. He concentrated his mind and took every step in the tiny gaps on the ground that were not covered by the spikes. Although his movements were slow, they were very steady.

"Click——"

Suddenly, Dongfang Liuli slipped, lost her balance, and was about to fall on the spikes.

"Be careful!" Seeing this, Lei Yi rushed forward without thinking and put Dongfang Liuli in his arms.

"hiss--"

A sharp pain came from his arm. Lei Yi looked down and saw that his arm was scratched by a sharp thorn, leaving a deep bloody mark, and blood gushed out instantly.

"You are injured!" Dongfang Liuli's heart tightened when she saw the wound on Lei Yi's arm, and her eyes were full of worry.

"I'm fine, it's just a minor injury." Lei Yi endured the pain and comforted.

He supported Dongfang Liuli and continued to move forward cautiously. However, Dongfang Liuli's foot injury seemed to be more serious than he had imagined. With every step he took, his brow furrowed and his movements became very slow.

"We can't go on like this. We must find a safe place to rest as soon as possible." Lei Yi looked around, feeling extremely anxious.

At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded from deep within the passage, accompanied by a foul smell, getting closer and closer...

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli looked at each other and their expressions changed.

"Oh no, something seems to be coming!" Lei Yi said in a low voice with a serious tone.

Heavy footsteps approached, accompanied by heavy breathing, as if the cave itself were trembling. Lei Yi's heart sank, knowing that he and Dongfang Liuli had been targeted by some powerful being.

"Roar--"

A deafening roar echoed from deep within the passage, reverberating throughout the cavern, threatening to shatter one's eardrums. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, pale as a lilac, huddled together, not daring to breathe.

In the dim light, Lei Yi saw a massive figure slowly approaching them. It was a massive white ape, its fur as white as snow, but its eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty red, and its sharp fangs bared from its mouth, sending a chill down its spine.

"It's the white ape guarding the treasure!" Dongfang Liuli whispered, a hint of fear in his tone. "Legend has it that this white ape is incredibly powerful and invulnerable to swords and spears. We must find a way to hide!"

"It's too late!" Lei Yi made a quick decision, carried Dongfang Liuli on his back and ran to the side.

When the white ape saw Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, it roared angrily, took huge steps and chased after them.

Lei Yi carried Dongfang Liuli on his back and ran desperately in the narrow passage. The roar of the white ape behind him was like a death warrant, making him dare not relax at all.

"There's a crevice over there. Let's hide in there!" Dongfang Liuli said, pointing ahead.

Lei Yi looked in the direction Dongfang Liuli pointed and saw a narrow crevice not far ahead, barely big enough for two people. He didn't dare to think too much and went into the crevice with Dongfang Liuli on his back.

The white ape chased to the crevice, but was unable to enter because of its large body. It could only pace back and forth outside angrily, staring at the crevice with its scarlet eyes, as if it wanted to tear Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli into pieces.

In the crevice, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli huddled together, not daring to make a sound. Dongfang Liuli's breathing was a little rapid, and she clutched Lei Yi's clothes tightly, afraid that he would suddenly let go.

Lei Yi could sense Dongfang Liuli's nervousness. He gently patted the back of her hand and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, we'll be fine."

However, his tone was filled with bitterness. He knew that the white ape would not leave easily, and they were trapped here and would be discovered sooner or later.

Time passed minute by minute, and the white ape outside the crevice still showed no intention of leaving. Instead, it became more violent, pounding the stone wall with its huge fists from time to time, making bursts of roaring sounds.

"This is not a solution. We must find a way to leave here." Lei Yi was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Suddenly, he felt Dongfang Liuli's body tremble violently and his face turned even paler.

"What's wrong?" Lei Yi's heart tightened and he asked quickly.

Dongfang Liuli did not answer, but just held his hand tightly, her eyes full of fear.

"His-"

A subtle sound came from deep in the crevice. Lei Yi's face changed and he turned around suddenly.

I saw...

In the dim light, dozens of spiders the size of bowls were slowly crawling out from the depths of the cracks in the rocks. Each spider had eight long, furry legs, and the bright red markings on its back were particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

"It's a red-backed poisonous spider!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed, his face turning even paler. "Their venom is extremely poisonous. Once bitten, even a god can't save you!"

Lei Yi's heart sank. Before he could react, dozens of sharp poisonous thorns suddenly shot out from the stone walls on both sides of the crevice and headed straight for him and Dongfang Liuli.

"Be careful!" Lei Yi shouted, and without thinking, he protected Dongfang Liuli under him and used his body to block the poisonous stingers.

"Puff puff……"

The sound of the poisonous stinger piercing the flesh continued to ring out. Lei Yi groaned and felt a sharp pain in his back, as if it was burning.

"How are you?" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed and quickly helped Lei Yi up. In the dim light, she saw that Lei Yi's back was full of poisonous thorns, and blood had dyed a large area of ​​his clothes red.

"I'm fine..." Lei Yi endured the severe pain and wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt dizzy, his eyes went black, and he almost fainted.

"Don't talk!" Dongfang Liuli was extremely anxious. She knew that the red-backed spider was extremely poisonous and she had to help Lei Yi detoxify it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Disregarding her own safety, Dongfang Liuli suppressed her inner fear and carefully observed the stingers and the surrounding environment, trying to find a way to break the spell. Her eyes scanned the cracks in the rocks until she spotted a small bump at the top. The color of the bump was almost identical to the surrounding rocks, making it difficult to detect without careful observation.

Dongfang Liuli's heart stirred. She stretched out her finger and gently touched the bulge. She felt her fingertip sink slightly, as if it were some kind of mechanism. She took a deep breath, concentrated her true energy on her fingertip, and pressed the bulge again.

With a light "click" sound, the poisonous stingers on both sides of the crevice suddenly stopped shooting out, and the red-backed poisonous spiders seemed to be frightened and retreated back into the depths of the crevice.

Dongfang Liuli was delighted, knowing that she had found the control hub of the mechanism. She carefully controlled the mechanism and retracted all the stingers, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay..." Dongfang Liuli turned around, only to find that Lei Yi's face was pale and his lips were purple, obviously he was severely poisoned.

She did not dare to delay and quickly took out a precious detoxification pill from her arms and fed it to Lei Yi.

After Lei Yi took the pill, his complexion improved slightly, but the poison in his body had not been completely eliminated and he was still very weak.

"Damn, the poison is too strong..." Lei Yi said gritting his teeth. He knew that his life was hanging by a thread this time. If Dongfang Liuli had not discovered the mechanism in time, they would probably have died here.

"Stop talking and have a good rest." Dongfang Liuli said softly, her eyes full of worry.

Lei Yi nodded, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing to heal his wounds.

However, at this moment, a loud earth-shaking noise suddenly came from outside the crevice, as if some huge monster was madly hitting the stone wall.

Dongfang Liuli's expression changed. She knew that the white ape had lost his patience...

The journey inside the cave is difficult and the danger is unpredictable

"boom!"

Outside the crevice, a deafening roar erupted, and rubble rained down around them, sending up clouds of dust. Dongfang Liuli's face paled as he gripped his sword tightly, his gaze fixed on the constantly vibrating stone wall, as if it would shatter completely in the next moment.

"We can't go on like this, we will be buried alive!" Dongfang Liuli suppressed the fear in her heart and tried to stay calm.

Although Lei Yi's face was still pale, his eyes were unusually bright. He forced himself to sit up and listened carefully to the sounds outside the crevice. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"It seems... to be looking for our location..." Lei Yi whispered, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

Dongfang Liuli's heart sank. The white ape was a magical beast that had been guarding this place for many years. It was powerful and had sharp perceptions. It would be very difficult to escape from its pursuit!

"We must find a way to lure it away!" A gleam of light flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. He looked around and his gaze finally fell on a huge rock deep in the crevice.

"Liuli, help me!" Lei Yi took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his body, and struggled to stand up.

Although Dongfang Liuli didn't understand what Lei Yi wanted to do, she chose to trust him unconditionally. She quickly stepped forward to support Lei Yi and asked with concern, "What are you going to do?"

"Our only chance of survival now is to use sound to confuse it, make it misjudge our position, and then take the opportunity to escape!" Lei Yi explained in a low voice, and at the same time signaled Dongfang Liuli to help him push the boulder to the deepest part of the crevice.

Dongfang Liuli did as he was told without hesitation, and the two of them worked together to push the boulder deep into the crevice, forming a diagonal line with the entrance.

"Wait for me here!" Lei Yi stuffed a piece of gravel into Dongfang Liuli's hand and whispered, "If I succeed, use this stone to knock on the stone wall. When I hear the sound, I will come back to find you!"

After saying this, without waiting for Dongfang Liuli's response, Lei Yi took advantage of the cover of the boulder and quietly moved deeper into the crevice.

"You have to be careful!" Dongfang Liuli was extremely anxious, but could only watch Lei Yi's figure disappear into the darkness.

Outside the crevice, the white ape's attack became more and more fierce, and the sound of huge rocks cracking came one after another, as if the entire cave was about to collapse.

At this moment, a series of "bang bang" sounds suddenly came from deep in the crevice. The sound was intermittent, sometimes far away, sometimes near, as if someone was moving with difficulty inside.

The white ape was indeed attracted by the sudden sound. It stopped attacking the crevice and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

"Now!" Dongfang Liuli was delighted. She clenched the gravel in her hand, held her breath, and waited for Lei Yi's signal...

In the darkness, Lei Yi's figure slowly emerged. His face was even paler, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were unusually firm...
