Chapter 241 - Exit

Li Huowang’s shirt was torn from getting constantly dragged against the ground. Even so, he was staring at the Lion Dances that were relentlessly chasing after them.

With the aid of the white glowing light emanating from their bodies, Li Huowang was barely able to discern something even larger behind the Lion Dances chasing after them.

Li Huowang didn’t know which sect the Lion Dance Palace belonged to, but he was certain there must be power differences between the various Lion Dances. The two Lion Dances he fought from before were likely some of the weaker ones.

“Second Deity! Run faster! The Lion Dances behind us are only the smaller ones! There’s a massive one behind them!” shouted Li Huowang.

Hearing his words, Bai Lingmiao ran even faster. However, she did not run blindly, instead following the sound of the drum.

At that moment, Li Huowang suddenly heard something and patted Bai Lingmiao’s shoulder. “Head East! Listen to me and head East!”

Instantly, Bai Lingmiao slammed all four limbs onto the ground and leaped toward the left wall. Then, she ricocheted off the wall and turned toward where Li Huowang was telling her to run.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at a ‘forest’ within the darkness. The ‘trees’ were just hanging corpses. There were so many of them that they resembled the trees of a forest. It was the same as what Li Huowang had seen just earlier.

At that moment, Li Huowang felt a gaze trained on him, causing his thoughts to slow down. This was the territory of Sheng Erzi and at this moment, it was looking at them while hanging from the ceiling!

But Li Huowang was not afraid. He was certain that compared to the two of them, Sheng Erzi would be a lot more interested in the group of glowing Lion Dances.

Just as he had expected, Sheng Erzi was attracted to the Lion Dances after sensing the massive disruptions brought about by them. The hanging corpses slowly floated toward where the Lion Dances were.

With the aid of Sheng Erzi, Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao finally managed to escape from the Lion Dances. As they went further away, the sound of footsteps and the intensity of the white glow gradually reduced before disappearing.

Without anyone chasing them, Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao followed the sound of the drum and finally reunited with everyone.

The others were relieved to finally meet with Li Huowang again. They huddled around and asked him a lot of questions.

Gao Zhijian lowered his hand and nodded. He pointed towards the west. “This... this way.”

“Gao Zhijian! Good job!” Li Huowang patted his shoulder heavily and ordered everyone else to immediately run toward the west.

The wind direction was not linear and billowed through the cave system. Sometimes it shifted upward while at other times it shifted downward.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang re-evaluated the big man in front of him once more. He was impressed that Gao Zhijian could think of such a method to find the exit.

This is not something an idiot can come up with. His background must be special.

But right now, there was no time to ask Gao Zhijian about his background.

“Everyone bend down. The ceiling is quite low in front,” instructed Li Huowang.

Hearing this, everyone couched and shuffled forward.

The hole gradually became narrower. It was only after the cave became narrow to the point that Gao Zhijian almost couldn’t squeeze through that it started growing wider once more. At the same time, a howl could be heard in the distance.

Li Huowang heard it and was elated. That was not a wolf’s or a ghost’s howl, but the sound of wind passing through the narrow holes!

Gao Zhijian was right, there was indeed an exit there!

Everyone else noticed it as well, and celebrated internally. After running around in the dangerous cave for so long, all of them were already tired. Still, they squeezed whatever remaining strength they had and started running.

They ran through the curving cave and were soon greeted by a sudden burst of light. They saw an opening at the top of the cave! The wind was blowing in from the opening.

The light coming from the exit was not the bright glowing light of the Lion Dances, but the silvery moon light. At this point, it was already dark outside.

Soon, they walked under the opening and saw stars within the skies.

While this was not the place where they came in from, it was still an exit they could use.
