Volume Three, Visiting Antiquities and Seeking Immortality Chapter Twelve: Departure, But Far From Over

After moving forward a distance through the passage, Luyi realized that what he had taken for a corridor was actually a developing karst cave.

The sharp-eyed Dachuang had also noticed this. Crawling forward on his stomach, he sighed, "Time truly is the sharpest blade. The iron-clad Void Tomb laid out by the Eternal Ming King has actually been eroded by flowing water to form a karst cave. Perhaps in a little while, the Void Tomb above our heads will naturally collapse."

Hearing Dachuang's words, one of the indigenous people immediately laughed, "Haha, when that day really comes, I wonder if those weird things inside the burial chamber will give birth to a batch of bizarre creatures."

Being in this completely uncarved natural karst cave, the other indigenous people were also in high spirits and casually joked, "What a pity. With us making such a ruckus here, won't your chance of discovering a new cave species be gone? This is a chance to make a name for yourself."

The others chimed in with teasing laughter, "Haha, then if a fish is discovered, shouldn't it be named the Siyan fish?"

The man called Siyan shook his body a few times, trying to turn his head, but the karst cave was far too narrow. In the end, he could only wave his hand, "Spare me, I don't have the fortune to last until the karst cave is fully formed." With that, he coughed a few times again.

Amidst the banter and coughs of the group, Yuchan had already led everyone through several branch paths, and the cave they were in was growing narrower and narrower. Just as Luyi was worrying about whether they would be able to pass through ahead, Yuchan stopped, followed immediately by the sound of scratching earth.

Luyi shifted his position a few times, but still could not see the situation ahead. At this moment, Yuchan let out a soft exclamation of surprise, her voice filled with puzzlement.

Soon, Shen Yixue also spoke up, "Yuchan, how are you going to get out with such a small opening while carrying your pack? Make it bigger."

"Oh," Yuchan acknowledged, fumbled around for a bit longer, and then wriggled out.

By the time Luyi emerged, Shen Yixue was lying on the ground, gazing up at the starry sky. She let out a deep breath and sighed, "We finally made it out."

Luyi gently shook his head. He had not expected Shen Yixue to have such a side to her; it seemed this expedition had indeed given her quite a fright.

With this thought, he used his Demonic Eyes to quickly scan the surroundings. Seeing that there were indeed no anomalies around, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems we really are out. In that case, this expedition has finally come to an end."
