Chapter 2: Searching for the Cave
"And what about him?" The woman pointed to the man unconscious on the ground.
"Don't save him, he just wanted to kill us moments ago," a man's voice shouted.
Snowsea sighed and leaped to the man's side, poking his abdomen with a finger. With a gentle twist, the man, who had been unconscious, instantly woke up in pain. He angrily looked at Snowsea and loudly rebuked, "How could you cripple my dantian and ruin my cultivation?"
But Xuehai just smiled faintly and said, "Because you don't need it." Then she slapped him on the face again, causing the man to faint once more.
"Walking"
Several figures quickly jumping in the ruins, when suddenly, Snow Sea at the front slightly raised his left hand, signaling them to stop.
"What's wrong?" the woman among them whispered. I have translated the given Chinese text into English while preserving the @ matches.
"There are a few eerie spiritual energy fluctuations nearby. It is likely that there will be unforeseen circumstances if we continue forward," Snow Hai said and quickly observed his surroundings.
At this moment, one of the men raised his fists and nervously suggested, "Senior, should we confront them?"
Hearing what he said, the woman couldn't help but give him a disdainful look and said, "Just now, you didn't seem so brave."
Before the man could say anything, he was immediately silenced by someone next to him. "Say less," muttered the others, then awkwardly smiled at Xuehai and the woman. Translated:
The girl blinked her eyes and said, "Xue Ge, what should we do?"
"Simple," Xue Hai said, turning his face to look at Xuan Ying, a wicked smile appearing on his face.
Seeing Xue Hai like this, a sense of danger arose in her mind, and she unconsciously placed her hands on her chest, looking at Xue Hai embarrassedly. Keep all @ matches. Translated:
"Um, this is getting a bit off track," Xuehai thought to himself. He placed his hand on his forehead and then reluctantly pulled her aside. As she looked a bit confused, Xuehai extended two fingers and quietly uttered a few sentences. A faint spiritual energy flowed from his fingers into the ground. Reply: Got it! Xuehai intervened to redirect the situation and infused the ground with a subtle spiritual energy.
"Oh, it's here," Xuehai exclaimed.
"What's coming?" Xuan Ying asked, puzzled.
At this moment, Xuehai's mouth slightly curled up as he quickly squatted down, sweeping away the rubble in front of him. A iron door appeared beneath Xuehai's feet. Xuehai pressed his hand against the iron door and infused it with spiritual energy. The iron door caved inwards, and within a second, a narrow and pitch-black tunnel appeared.
"Come on, it's safe to go down," Snow Sea said.
Xuan Ying leaned in, looking at the pitch-black tunnel, bewildered, and turned to Snow Sea with a confused expression. The entire tunnel had no embankment and appeared to be just a straight passage. "How are we supposed to go down?"
Xuan Ying turned to Xue Hai and placed her right hand on his shoulder. Tears welled up in her eyes as she earnestly looked at Xue Hai, "Brother Xue, we have been classmates for several years. There's no need for violence." Reply: "I understand your concern, Xuan Ying. I didn't expect things to escalate this way. Let's find a peaceful solution to this situation."
As Snow Hai let out a breath, she took advantage of Xuan Ying's momentary daze and pushed her down. At the same time, Snow Hai's figure appeared behind the two people closest to her in the blink of an eye. She tapped their shoulders and instantly threw them into the tunnel. The remaining few people were stunned and were also thrown into the tunnel by Snow Hai. Once again, she looked down at the man who was half-conscious on the ground. Snow Hai lifted him up with one hand, but as she tried to throw him down, the man suddenly fiercely grabbed her arm and uttered in a dazed expression, "Return my cultivation!"
Snow Sea ignored him and let go of his hand directly. His figure quickly disappeared into the tunnel. Snow Sea alertly looked around and also jumped into the tunnel. At the same time he entered, an iron gate appeared, and rubble blocked it from above. Reply: Snow Sea didn't pay attention to him, releasing his hand without hesitation. He swiftly vanished into the tunnel, while Snow Sea cautiously surveyed the surroundings before following suit. As soon as he entered, an iron door materialized, accompanied by scattered rubble that covered it from above.
Suddenly, a dark mist shrouds the spot where Xuehai was standing, and a seductive and feminine voice emanates from the mist: "I clearly sensed the presence of a human just now, how could it suddenly disappear?"
At the same time, a person dressed in tattered old cloth suddenly appeared in front of the black gas, and an old voice came from within, "Could it be a kind of artifact that can isolate breath..."
"No, there is a remnant aura of a demon's mark" a hand with many scars extended from the worn-out cloth, slowly pointing towards the ground.
"Here," the worn-out cloth exclaimed in surprise. Please note that the '
"I can't believe humans have learned to burrow so quickly. They truly are monkeys who can dig," the woman, surrounded by a dark aura, mocked.
If there are any mistakes, please let me know. Thank you!
