It was so hot here that Ling Xiao felt like he was getting heatstroke. He decided to take off his clothes, but Xie Yuhua was worried that the temperature would rise further and didn't really want him to take them off.

But he couldn't stand it either. He understood the child's feelings too well. At this moment, both of them were soaked to the bone, their clothes clinging to their skin, making him feel very uncomfortable.

To make matters worse, the sweat evaporates quickly, making the air unbearably hot and humid.

This feeling made it almost impossible for him to breathe, as if he were being pressed down by an invisible force.

At the same time, due to the large amount of water loss from his body, he began to feel dizzy and even nauseous.

"Will you abandon me?" Ling Xiao's voice was incredibly fragile, and because of the steam, Xie Yuhua couldn't see his face clearly.

"No, stay close to me." Xie Yuhua's voice sounded very powerful at this moment.

Ling Xiao nodded, raised his hand with slight difficulty, wiped his eyes which were stinging from the sweat with his sleeve, and then carefully followed behind Jieyuhua.

This was the second time they had faced a life-or-death test together. Twice, he had never given up on him.

"Damn it, why is this passageway so long!" Xie Yuhua's voice finally revealed a hint of anxiety and unease.

"Can anyone hear me outside?" Xie Yuhua shouted with all her might, but no one responded. Not wanting to make the child even more panicked, she could only reassure her and keep walking forward.

They finally saw the exit, only to find that the stairs were blocked by stone slabs. Xie Yuhua kept tapping the stone slabs with her dragon-patterned staff, but the old man still showed no intention of opening the door for them.

"Maybe he's blind. Let's... let's look for a way for him to get out on his own." Ling Xiao watched as Xie Yuhua's body swayed precariously from the exertion.

His load was already heavier than Ling Xiao's, and the clothes Ling Xiao had taken off due to the heat were piled up behind him, making him feel even more unbearably hot. As time went on, Xie Yuhua finally collapsed, unable to bear the weight any longer.

This terrified Ling Xiao. They were on the stone steps, and Ling Xiao couldn't support Xie Yuhua at all. He clumsily pushed Xie Yuhua, shouting as he pushed, until he finally ran out of strength and the two of them tumbled down the stone steps together.

After falling, Ling Xiao was filled with deep self-blame, and tears streamed down his face. He shouted for help, but there was no response. He then patted Xie Yuhua, but she did not respond.

He wanted to stand up and continue knocking on the stone slab, but found that his legs couldn't exert any strength. The ground was unbearably hot. Fearing that Xie Yuhua would die, he could only carry her on his back and slowly climb up the stone steps.

"What should we do? What if we can't get out? It's so hot here. I don't want to go home. Please wake up. I don't want to die here. There's no water... You're so heavy! Cough cough..."

Perhaps because he was so thirsty, Ling Xiao coughed up blood, which startled him so much that he burst into tears.

"Blood... I'm spitting blood, brother, I'm going to die too, we're all going to die, did you see that? Weren't we supposed to go find someone? Why did this happen? What should I do...?"

Brother, you must be thirsty. Your mouth is dry. Here, drink this, it'll make you feel less thirsty...

Brother, I can't move my leg. Even if you're lying on top of me, I can't see how it is. When you wake up, you have to carry me away from here.

Brother...you must be so sleepy, so...are you still awake? I'm so sleepy and so hot.
