The passage was much narrower than the chamber behind them.
Li Feng walked at the front, his steps slow and steady as his senses stretched outward.
The air here was colder.
Not the natural chill of underground stone, but feel more like something deeper and older.
Yet for some reason, the further he walked, the more relief he felt in his chest.
'We should be near some kind of exit…' he thought inwardly.
Behind him, he could hear the faint footsteps of the others following carefully.
No one spoke.
Even Shui Ruo, who usually couldn't stay quiet for more than a few breaths, seemed unwilling to break the silence as she realized this place was not so simple.

It was as if they were climbing.
And the further they went, the less dark it became.
Soon, they even noticed a faint glow in the distance.
"Hmm?"
