"I hope they're okay..."
"Don't worry, they all have my Healing Medicine on them. They basically can't die," Qi Xuefei reassured as she glanced into the depths of the mine, a flicker of worry flashing across her eyes.
The two stood quietly at the entrance for tens of seconds.
"...I can't just sit here waiting! It's driving me crazy!" Li Wenxi couldn't take it anymore.
She handed a backpack to Qi Xuefei: "Sister Xuefei, you stay here and keep watch. This backpack is full of salt ore I just collected, plenty of it, so I'll leave it here. It's quite heavy so I won't carry it with me. There are plenty of metal ores around here, I'll go see if there's anything worth mining, at least do something I can do."
"Alright, go ahead. I'll watch over here; if anything dangerous happens, we'll contact each other," Qi Xuefei said, raising her left hand with the watch. "Are you stocked with pills?"
"I'm good, Sister Xuefei, I'm off then!"
...
On the other side, inside a strange cave.
