The abandoned cave passage was narrow, only wide enough for two people to walk side-by-side.
Cai Heng and Luo Qi walked at the front. Lu Song stood beside Xun Shuang, and Bai Zichen brought up the rear.
In the dark, damp environment, they were terrified of startling the Ghost-Faced Jade Spider. Only the faint sounds of their footsteps and dripping water echoed through the passage.
After walking for a while, a sense of oppression weighed on them. The pitch-black passage looked like a Demon Beast with its maw wide open, ready to swallow them whole.
"Luo Qi, are we there yet? Did you go this deep last time?"
The Luminous Pearl cast a white glow, projecting their flickering, indistinct shadows onto the stone walls, making them look like demons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
Xun Shuang asked in a low, trembling voice.
"There are too many forks... I think it's somewhere around here..."
