Shen Ying looked at Zhang Wei with a worried expression, her eyes full of concern and unease. She said with concern, "Why don't I go with you? This cave is full of dangers, and no one knows what we might encounter. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Zhang Wei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile like the sun, and he gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I can handle this on my own. Just wait here, I'll be right back."

At this moment, the elemental spirit that had been quietly waiting to the side also chimed in, nodding vigorously, its lively little head shaking like a rattle: "Yes, big..."

The elemental spirit seemed to suddenly remember something, paused abruptly, and then cheerfully said, "Big brother will definitely be fine!"

Shen Ying felt both worried and a little guilty.

She bit her lower lip, looking somewhat uncomfortable. She really didn't want to see others working so hard on the front lines while she comfortably stayed in the back and reaped the benefits.

Zhang Wei immediately understood Shen Ying's thoughts.

He smiled and waved his hand, patiently explaining, "Don't feel bad. I made this arrangement because I'm absolutely confident."

Besides, leaving you and the elemental spirits outside is also a precaution. If the situation inside the cave gets out of control, you can respond promptly from outside.”

Hearing these words, Shen Ying was still a little uneasy, but she couldn't insist any further.

She nodded reluctantly and instructed, "Okay, if you encounter any problems, be sure to contact me immediately."

As she spoke, she gently waved her arm, gesturing for Zhang Wei to look at his watch. They had already added each other in contact, and now, their avatars were quietly arranged in the contact list, allowing for instant communication with just a touch.

Zhang Wei smiled gently, a reassuring smile playing on his lips, and nodded warmly to indicate that he understood.

In that instant, without warning, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled rumble came from the depths of the cave, and the originally solid rock above their heads instantly crumbled, began to loosen and crack.

Large and small stones, like dense raindrops, carrying billowing dust, fell mercilessly down on them from the sky.

As the rocks fell, Zhang Wei darted forward without hesitation, stretched out his long arm, and tightly embraced Shen Ying in one swift motion.

At the same moment, a transparent shield, like an invisible flower blooming, rapidly extended and enveloped them, emitting a faint blue light.

Immediately afterwards, countless stones slammed heavily onto the shield like cannonballs, producing a dull and dense thud.

Each impact caused the shield to ripple slightly, and the flying debris, like bullets fired from a gun, shot wildly in all directions with a sharp whistling sound.

At the same time, the dust that rose up spread rapidly like a surging tide, completely enveloping the entire space.

In an instant, everything before my eyes became blurry and indistinct. My vision was completely obscured by thick dust, and I was plunged into a slumber, as if the entire world had been buried under this endless dust.

Shen Ying was held tightly in Zhang Wei's arms, her whole body almost embedded in his.

Her profile was pressed tightly against his chest, and his unique scent lingered around her nose.

At this moment, the noise of stones colliding and dust flying around had become blurred, and only the powerful heartbeats in my ears were clear, like the sound of a heavy hammer striking a drum.

Zhang Wei's heartbeat pounded heavily against Shen Ying's eardrums.

After the tremors subsided, the world seemed to stand still. Zhang Wei still held Shen Ying tightly, his arms as strong as iron hoops, as if he wanted to merge Shen Ying into his own body.

Shen Ying felt uncomfortable under the hot and tight embrace, and a faint blush rose on her face.

She tilted her head slightly, raised her hand gently, and patted Zhang Wei's broad back lightly, saying, "It's alright now."

At this moment, Zhang Wei seemed to have just come to his senses. He slowly released Shen Ying, then gazed at her quietly and asked, "Are you alright?"

Before she could even react, Zhang Wei shielded her tightly, leaving her unharmed. Shen Ying was naturally very grateful.

She quickly shook her head and said, "It's nothing, thank you, thanks to you."

Just then, a small figure wobbled and flew towards them through the swirling dust.

It was an elemental spirit; although it had luckily escaped this calamity, it looked utterly wretched.

Its body, which had originally radiated a soft glow, was now covered in dust, looking dull and gray, like a pitiful little thing that had crawled out of the ruins.

What's even more amusing is that every time it coughs, it spews out a little bit of dust, clearly having "eaten up" a lot of dirt in the chaos just now. It looks both pitiful and somewhat comical.

It urgently shouted to Shen Ying and Zhang Wei, "The energy surge is getting more and more intense! We have to act quickly, or we're all doomed!"

Shen Ying and Zhang Wei exchanged a glance. Zhang Wei nodded to Shen Ying, turned around, and ran towards the depths of the cave.

During the wait, the ground continued to tremble slightly from time to time, which were the aftershocks of the energy surge.

Each tremor caused fine sand and gravel to fall from the rocks overhead, as if the cave were groaning in pain.

The air around Shen Ying and the elemental spirits became increasingly hot due to the gathering of energy, as if an invisible flame was burning.

Shen Ying raised her hand to wipe the sweat that kept pouring from her forehead, gazing in the direction Zhang Wei had left.

Deep within the cave, small energy vortexes, generated by energy surges, are everywhere.

They were like a group of menacing demons, dancing and spinning wildly in the air. Wherever they passed, the space seemed to be violently kneaded by an invisible giant hand, instantly twisting and deforming.

The powerful suction force was terrifying, as if it possessed the magic to mercilessly drag everything in the world into an endless abyss of darkness.

These vortexes, each carrying a strong sense of destruction, rushed towards Zhang Wei one after another with overwhelming force, as if they were about to swallow him up in an instant.

On the other hand, Zhang Wei didn't take these terrifying vortexes seriously at all. He was relaxed and light-footed, as if he were strolling leisurely through a flower garden in spring. He walked calmly and composedly through the dangerous vortexes without showing any panic.

Faced with the raging energy vortex, his eyes remained calm and undisturbed. When the vortex swept in with the raging wind and sand, he simply raised his hand, and the raging energy vortex dissipated like bubbles.

While waiting, Shen Ying suddenly noticed that the ground was no longer shaking, and the previously chaotic energy fluctuations around her seemed to be gradually calming down.

She couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, secretly thinking that things must be going quite smoothly on Zhang Wei's end.

Just as I was thinking this, the elemental spirit beside me cheered excitedly: "Success!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a familiar figure slowly became clear in the dim depths of the cave.

It's Zhang Wei!

Shen Ying's tense heart instantly relaxed.

She unconsciously let out a long sigh, and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
