Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

We walked forward cautiously, and the deeper we went, the colder it became; even the lamplight on the walls couldn't warm us at all.

A soft rustling sound slowly approached, growing louder and louder, and Su Mu listened intently.

The sound traveled very fast, and soon Su Mu saw a dark mass of objects rapidly approaching from the cave in front of him. He could also hear sounds coming from behind him. Su Mu didn't know what it was, but he instantly became alert.

Whatever it is, it will do you no good whatsoever.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a black crustacean, about the size of a thumb, exactly the same as the dead insects that had been scattered around the entrance to the cave at the beginning.

However, its size was much larger; the one outside the hole was the size of a fingernail, while the one inside was the size of a thumb, twice as big.

Of course, the two large, pincer-like teeth at the corners of his mouth have also grown much larger.

As it crawled, its teeth clenched and snapped, as if it were ready to tear its prey apart.

And the prey, without a doubt, was Su Mu.

The walls and the floor were covered with them, densely packed, making one feel uneasy from the bottom of their heart.

"Damn it!" Su Mu cursed under his breath, rubbing his forehead.

Without any weapons, how can we fight them?

Suddenly, my gaze fell on the oil lamp on the wall.

He reached out, grabbed the two oil lamps, and threw them forward and backward.

The lamp oil spilled all over the ground, creating a line of fire in front of it, and the insects on the ground crawled up the wall.

Su Mu then picked up two lamps and threw them at the top of the cave. The lamp oil flowed down the wall, followed by a roaring flame.

The insects suddenly stopped in place and started spinning around, making a strange rustling sound, as if they were communicating.

When the sound stopped, the insects suddenly gathered together and rolled into countless small balls.

It rolled over from the fire with a gurgling sound, filling the air with a strong smell of burning and fishy odor.

The insects outside were charred, but the insects inside were fine, and some insects were now crawling towards Su Mu.

Su Mu was dumbfounded. Had these insects become sentient?

After a brief hesitation, she touched a lamp, but found that she couldn't lift it no matter what she did.

As the insects surrounded her, she became anxious and tried to twist the lamp holder to remove it, but suddenly heard a "snap" sound.

The lamp holder clicked, and the stone next to it opened a door. Su Mu had no time to wonder and went inside without hesitation.

The inside was much the same as the outside, with oil lamps burning, but the aroma was much stronger.

With a swarm of tiny insects behind her, she didn't have time to take a good look and ran quickly forward.

The insects were very fast; even with all his might, Su Mu could hear them getting closer and closer.

"Whoosh—" A gust of wind suddenly swept over, the lights went out, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

"Shh—" The sounds grew fainter and fainter, seemingly retreating back along the same path, even faster than when they were chasing her.

Calming down, she gradually steadied her breathing.

The silence was eerily profound; even the sound of the wind had vanished, and the faint sound of her soft breathing could be heard.

I accidentally kicked a pebble.

"Clap!"

It stands out especially in the darkness.

"pat"

"despair"

A series of echoes resounded.

A blood-stained face suddenly appeared in front of Su Mu at that moment.

Her breathing stopped for a second, then her heart began to pound wildly, as if it were about to burst through the flesh and blood of her chest.

I thought the owner of that face would attack me, but I found it just standing there quietly.

Gradually, she realized that the face was familiar.
