Sharing the Universe from Douluo Continent

Chapter 269: Hope of Life (Second update, please read later)

When Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er heard this, they got goosebumps. Of course they could guess what kind of meat it was.

"I was so hungry that I didn't care about anything else. I just ate the meat and fell asleep contentedly.

For a period of time afterwards, my mother would find me a piece of meat every once in a while, until one day she stopped answering me. From then on, I could only wait to die alone in the cave.

Do you know what it's like to be left alone to die? Have you ever smelled a corpse rotting beside you?

Looking at Bi Yao, whose expression was becoming somewhat dazed, You Ji couldn't help but hug her in her arms distressedly: "Yao'er, don't say anymore, it's all in the past, it's all in the past..."

Bi Yao, completely immersed in painful memories, ignored You Ji's words and muttered to herself with a lost look on her face, "I waited in that dark cave for a long time. Finally one day, a ray of light appeared, and my father, Uncle Qinglong and the others jumped into the cave.

My attention was drawn to my father at that time. I just threw myself into his arms and cried, and even forgot to look at my mother's body.

I could feel that my father's body was very stiff, like stone. His face was terribly gloomy and his eyes looked as if he wanted to kill me, his own daughter.

When I was so scared that I wanted to look for my mother, Daddy covered my eyes with his hands and took me out of the cave.

"..."

After listening to Bi Yao's tragic experience, Lu Xueqi and the others felt sympathy but also fear.

Isn’t the dilemma that he and others are facing now the same as the situation when Bi Yao was buried alive?

"Aunt You, I'm really scared. Please don't die, okay?"

Bi Yao, feeling like she was about to break apart, gently rested her head on You Ji's shoulder and said in a trembling voice, "At least... at least don't die before me. I really don't want to wait for death alone anymore."

It’s not Bi Yao’s fault that she has poor psychological quality. It’s mainly because of her tragic childhood experience, which left her with a huge psychological trauma. So when she encountered a similar scene again, she collapsed instantly.

"Yao... Yao'er, be good. Aunt You promises you that I will never die before you."

You Ji gently stroked Bi Yao's cheek and said in a weak but firm tone: "If Aunt You really can't hold on any longer, I will kill you with my own hands before I die. I will never let you endure such pain again."

As the saying goes: When a man is about to die, his words are good!

When Lu Xueqi and the others heard the conversation between Bi Yao and You Ji, they couldn't help but be moved. At the same time, they were also inevitably affected by the emotions of the two and felt a little desperate.

"I'm asking you guys, can you please stop dying all the time? Don't you notice that this passage is very flat all around?"

Just as Lu Xueqi and the others were looking desperate, Dai Changsheng suddenly pointed at the passages around them and said, "It's obvious that this passage was artificially dug, not formed naturally.

Since this passage was man-made, it definitely won’t be a dead end!
It's impossible to dig such a long tunnel just to create this small pool in front of us, right?

Therefore, there must be a mechanism here that can lead to other places, and perhaps we can find another exit from here."

"Yeah! What Changsheng said makes sense~"

Tian Ling'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said excitedly, "Xueqi, we can't give up yet. There must be other traps here. We will definitely be able to escape."

"Ok!"

Seeing hope again, Lu Xueqi quickly regained her energy and hurriedly followed Dai Changsheng and Tian Ling'er to look for possible hidden mechanisms here.

"Dong, dong, dong..." Dai Changsheng picked up a piece of gravel and knocked it in the passage. Finally, when he used the stone to knock on the stone wall behind the water curtain, he clearly felt that the sound had changed.

"Xueqi, Ling'er, come here quickly, the back of this stone wall seems to be hollow!"

After Dai Changsheng finished speaking, he waved his hand and took out the black bamboo sword box. Then he summoned a sword energy about ten feet long and stabbed it towards the stone wall in front of him.

"boom!!!"

Accompanied by a sharp roar, the stone wall in front of him was directly pierced by the sword energy, revealing a hole the size of a washbasin.

Through the hole on the stone wall, you can clearly see that there is indeed a similar narrow passage on the opposite side of the stone wall.

"There really is a mechanism! There really is a mechanism!"

Seeing that Dai Changsheng had truly found the hidden passage, Tian Linger excitedly shouted, hugged his arm, and cheered, "Changsheng, you're truly amazing!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited."

Dai Changsheng smiled and patted the back of Tian Ling'er's hand. He then turned to Lu Xueqi, who also had a joyful expression on her face, and said, "Xueqi, the little bit of mana I just refined has been used up. Now it's up to you."

"it is good!"

Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, raised the Tianya Sword in her hand, and swung out several extremely sharp blue sword auras, shooting towards the stone wall behind the water curtain.

Under Lu Xueqi's attack, the hole in the stone wall quickly expanded from the size of a washbasin to about half a meter, enough for someone to easily drill through.

"Changsheng, you and Ling'er wait here first, I'll go explore the way!"

Because Dai Changsheng's magic power was exhausted and Tian Ling'er was far inferior to her, Lu Xueqi decided to go ahead and explore the way herself.

"Wait a moment!"

Upon seeing this, Dai Changsheng quickly grabbed Lu Xueqi and turned to Bi Yao and You Ji and said, "Two beauties, if you hadn't gotten us into trouble this time, we wouldn't be trapped in this hellish place by the Black Water Mystic Snake.

Now that we've finally found the hidden passage, isn't it your turn to explore the way?"

"..."

When You Ji and Bi Yao heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but they were unable to refute what Dai Changsheng said.

"Sir, what you said makes sense. Leave the exploration to us! Yao'er, let's go..."

Although You Ji knew that exploring the route was a very dangerous thing, they had no choice now.

After all, good and evil cannot coexist. Dai Changsheng and his men were very moral in not taking advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury. It was too unrealistic to ask them to risk their lives to explore the way for them!
"Aunt You, please slow down."

With Bi Yao's support, You Ji stood up with some difficulty and walked towards the entrance of the hidden passage.

After You Ji and the others entered the hidden passage and walked for a while, confirming that there were no hidden mechanisms or traps, Dai Changsheng led Lu Xueqi and the others through.

After walking along the long and winding passage for half an hour, they finally reached the end of the passage and entered an empty stone chamber.
