A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

"Wait..." Ye Shuli grabbed Jiang Ye, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, "This place... feels a bit unstable?"

Jiang Ye also noticed something was wrong; the slight tremor of the ground made him feel uneasy.

"No way, Sister Li, we can't be that unlucky, we're going to be finished as soon as we walk in, right?" He rubbed his arms, trying to dispel the feeling of unease.

In this situation, everyone's first reaction is usually to find an exit and escape.

But who is Ye Shuli?

She is Niohuru Shuli, a ruthless woman who has been struggling in modern society for many years. How could she easily admit defeat?

"Why are you running? Fortune favors the bold, don't you understand?" Ye Shuli rolled her eyes. "This tremor might be caused by spirit crystals. Instead of running around like headless flies, we should find a place with a high concentration of spirit crystals!"

Jiang Ye was completely dumbfounded; this was indeed a rather peculiar move.

"Sister Li, I admire your thought process! But we're running for our lives, not treasure hunting!"

"Stop talking nonsense and listen to me!" Ye Shuli didn't care about his words and dragged Jiang Ye towards the place where the tremor was strongest.

Although Jiang Ye was very uneasy, he still chose to believe Ye Shuli.

After all, this Sister Li is a woman who comes with an aura of "turning bad luck into good luck".

The two cautiously made their way forward, the vibrations growing stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, a dazzling purple light came from ahead, illuminating the dark mine.

"Holy crap! Top-grade spirit crystal!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise.

Before they could react, a gruff voice suddenly rang out: "This spirit crystal is mine!"

A burly man with a face full of scars emerged from the shadows, holding a huge cleaver in his hand; it was none other than the rogue cultivator Wang Meng.

He stared greedily at the spirit crystal that emitted a purple light, a sinister smile creeping across his lips.

Ye Shuli sneered, "Heh, quite the big talker." She shoved Jiang Ye, who was still standing there in a daze, aside, "Get out of the way, let me have a go at this 'hero'!" The tremors in the mine became more and more violent, and the rubble above fell like raindrops, crashing onto the ground with a "clang" and stirring up clouds of dust.

The pebbles come in all shapes and sizes, some as big as millstones and others as small as marbles. They dart around in the narrow mine shaft, like playing a real-life version of "Pac-Man," where a slight misstep can lead to elimination.

While skillfully dodging falling rocks, Jiang Ye couldn't help but complain, "Sister Li, is our treasure hunt going on a bit too hard? Is this some kind of PUBG - Mine Escape?"

"Shut up!" Ye Shuli snapped irritably, as she was intently observing her surroundings.

The tremors, the falling rocks, the rhythm...

Why does it feel like we're filming a disaster movie?

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of strange symbols on a boulder. The symbols looked like some kind of ancient script, or perhaps some kind of peculiar pattern.

Ye Shuli had a sudden inspiration; the "Architectural Structure and Seismic Design" course she took in college suddenly came in handy!

"Quick, this way!" Ye Shuli pointed in the direction of the symbol and pulled Jiang Ye to run in that direction.

"Sister Li, are you sure? This symbol looks like a primary school student's doodle!" Although Jiang Ye complained, his footsteps were not slow at all.

They stumbled and fell along the way, the falling rocks behind them growing denser and denser, making the mine seem as if it might collapse completely at any moment.

Just as they were about to reach the location indicated by the symbol, Ye Shuli suddenly stopped, her eyes sharply fixed ahead, and whispered, "Something's not right..." Jiang Ye also stopped and followed her gaze...

Ahead, Wang Meng clutched his shoulder, which had been hit by a falling rock, and glared at them fiercely, looking like a wounded wild beast.

"Trying to run? Not so easy! Hand over the spirit crystals!" he roared, ignoring his injuries, and charged forward again, brandishing his machete.

"Ha, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!" Ye Shuli sneered, pulling Jiang Ye behind a boulder.

This isn't just ordinary hide-and-seek; it's a life-or-death game!

The pebbles overhead came crashing down like hail, and if you weren't careful, you'd be turned into a meat pie.

"Sister Li, is this guy a cockroach? He's so tough!" Jiang Ye complained while dodging falling rocks. "Should we give him a 'Best Resilience Award'?"

"Shut up! Focus!" Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. What kind of time is this to be joking around?

She quickly surveyed her surroundings, looking for a way to escape.

Wang Meng's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and the tremors in the mine became more and more intense; it looked like they were about to collapse.

Just then, Ye Shuli suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pointed to a rickety boulder next to her, shouting, "Jiang Ye, it's up to you!"

Jiang Ye understood immediately and kicked the boulder with all his might!

The boulder collapsed with a crash, blocking Wang Meng's path.

"Sister Li, amazing!" Jiang Ye snapped his fingers excitedly. This teamwork was absolutely flawless!

Ye Shuli ignored him and pulled him along as they continued running.

They were getting closer to the location indicated by the symbol when Ye Shuli suddenly stopped, staring ahead with a complex expression, and whispered, "Emergency exit..." Jiang Ye also stopped and followed her gaze, only to see...
