Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Blind Spot!Eleventh Uncle chimed in from the side, "Mrs. Qin speaks with reason! Master, we need to think about where we might have missed the true location."
"Alright, let’s
"Watch out for the Thunderbolt Bomb, move away quickly!"
As she threw the stones outside, she reached out and pulled the two personal soldiers with her, dragging them further inside.
The thieves outside, who were engaging fervently in battle, were startled when they heard the words "Thunderbolt Bomb," and instinctively dodged backward in panic.
The two who had charged to the front were hit by stones imbued with Su Pan’er’s Inner Strength, emitting a gurgling sound from their throats before slowly collapsing to the ground.
By the time the thieves outside realized they had been duped and charged into the cave, there was no one left inside—only an empty echoing cavern remained.
Filled with rage, the thieves stormed into the cavern, but the group inside had mysteriously vanished without a trace!
At this moment, Su Pan’er and the others had already entered the depths of the cave, moving away from the entrance.
Before leaving, Su Pan’er also sabotaged the mechanism for entering the cave. Those thieves outside surely wouldn’t find the cave so easily, and even if they did, the mechanism was already destroyed. By the time they might manage to forcefully disassemble it, her group would have already been far away!
The entrance to the cave, though small, opened into a more spacious area inside, but adults still had to hunch their backs to walk through. However, Yan Yan walked comfortably within.
The group didn’t dare stop. They continued onward, and along the way, aside from effortlessly killing a few large snakes hibernating in the cave, as well as some porcupines and yellow mongooses, they encountered no danger.
In the darkness, losing track of time and direction, they traveled the cave for quite some time when they suddenly came upon a fork in the road. The group immediately halted their steps.
Another fork in the road below, huh!
Su Pan’er narrowed her eyes, feeling an eerie sense of familiarity.
"Which way should we go?"
Old Xue was also a bit confused. His Master hadn’t mentioned this to him back in the day.
Su Pan’er closed her eyes, quietly feeling the surroundings: "Let’s go this way. I think there should be an underground river over here, and once we get there, it should be easier to find an exit."
"How does Mrs. Qin know there is an underground river ahead?" Eleventh Uncle asked curiously.
Su Pan’er glanced at him, "It’s simple, this paved passageway has higher air humidity, and there’s also a faint cold breeze. We’ve walked so long without much air flow. Here, the air has changed, but the other two passageways don’t have this condition. It’s clear that this paved passageway connects to the underground river."
"Since this paved passageway leads to the underground river, that means it goes downward. Shouldn’t we take another route that goes up?"
Eleventh Uncle voiced his personal opinion again.
Before Su Pan’er could reply, Old Xue nodded in agreement: "Eleventh Uncle is right. Since this one leads downward, we should take the other passageway to leave the underground as soon as possible."
After crawling through the cave for quite some time, feeling intensely suppressed, everyone was eager to emerge. Su Pan’er thought for a moment and amiably decided to take the other pathway.
"Alright, let’s go this way."
Not long after they chose this path, they all noticed the cave walls rising, allowing them to walk upright without stooping. As they progressed, the terrain gradually changed, but instead of finding an exit, they encountered more and more forks in the road, causing everyone’s expression to grow more grim.
When they came to a fork in the road for the fifth time, the group stopped together without prior agreement.
"It’s over, it’s over, we seem to be lost!"
Eleventh Uncle’s face was drained of color, muttering to himself.
Old Xue had kept going purely out of sheer determination, but now, seeing no way out, he couldn’t go any further, and slumped onto the ground, panting heavily.
The two personal soldiers, though they had been bandaged up, simply couldn’t go on due to excessive exhaustion and collapsed onto the ground as well.
Little Yanyan, sensing the adults’ panic, quietly tugged at Su Pan’er’s clothes, saying nothing.
Only Su Pan’er was still observing the surroundings—the dense network of passageways resembling spiderwebs... why did they seem so familiar?
