From the moment Chu Mo came to this world, he had not seen a single person. Bald Qiang's family had been struck by lightning on the day he arrived, turning into ruins. Bald Qiang's whereabouts were unknown.
Now that a figure had appeared out of nowhere, was he a friend or foe? And why did he hide there to spy? Was there any other human besides him and Bald Qiang in this vast and dense Bear Ridge? Or…was that Bald Qiang?
If he could transmigrate, then other people…could do the same?!
Chu Mo's heart was gradually shrouded by a layer of dark clouds. There were many complicated thoughts and many things that he could not delve into because there would be no answers if he delved deeper. There would only be traps! They could only continuously sink into deep pits! Perhaps it was because he had something on his mind that he was not focused enough. It took him half the night to comb through Mao Mao's meridians and expel the spider poison.
Then, he took the last Qi Returning Powder and gave Jiji's meridians a simple combing. Jiji's back was mainly corroded by the spider web. Later, he applied the Golden Wound Medicine, so the poison did not spread deep. It was much easier to deal with it than Mao Mao.
At dawn, Chu Mo finished combing Ji Ji's meridians. After a night of constant Qi recovery and circulation, the spiritual energy in his body had improved a little. His control over the spiritual energy was also more proficient. It could be considered an unexpected gain.
The little ones were still sleeping soundly. The fire had long burned out, leaving only some ashes and a few wisps of white smoke.
Chu Mo added new firewood and lit it up. Then, he went to smash two spider legs to roast them.
When the spider legs were almost cooked, the few little fellows woke up. It seemed like they had made an appointment in advance. Chu Mo cursed as he went to smash two more fish and continued to roast them.
Jijimao also woke up. The dark bruises on his face had dissipated and he was slightly ruddy. It seemed that the detoxification effect last night was not bad.
Even though Chu Mo was cursing, they were still full. If there wasn't enough, they would go and smash the spider legs. In the morning, including Jiji, Mao Mao, and Mao Mao, the man and five beasts had eaten five roasted spider legs. Adding on the three they had eaten last night, the giant spider had not even a single leg left.
After eating his fill, there was an urgent problem that needed to be faced and solved.
How should he get out? He couldn't possibly stay underground forever!
There was no need to think about the tunnel. It was easy to jump to the broken platform, but it would be difficult to jump back. It was about three meters vertically from the entrance of the cave, and more than two meters horizontally. According to the Pythagorean theorem, this thing would have to jump almost four meters diagonally…
Actually, with Chu Mo's Tempered Body 5th Tier physique, he could still try this distance! But could he just casually try this kind of thing? If he failed, he would have to face a deep pit that was dozens of feet deep! The pit was filled with gravel!
If he tried, he might die!
Therefore, it was better to find an exit obediently. After the man and five beasts were full, they began to wander around the hall, trying to find another passage.
Chu Mo walked along the side wall of the hall and slowly searched. Yesterday, he had fought with the Underground Cave Giant Spider King and that bastard had used a few earth skills to mess up the entire hall. Even if there was a passageway, it would have been buried.
The walls of the hall were engraved with complicated patterns. They should have been some kind of decorative pattern, but it had been so long that the pattern was incomplete and damaged, leaving only some faint patterns.
This should also be a cave abode of a mighty figure! Chu Mo secretly guessed as he rubbed his palm against the ancient wall, which was full of ancient patterns.
Chu Mo stared at these lines and examined them carefully, as if he wanted to see something from them. He slowly walked to the center and suddenly found a bulge.
Hmm? What was this?
Originally, the pattern should have been the head of a creature. This head was a little protruding, and there was a crack in the wall.
After countless years, only a small piece of the protruding head was left. The gap was filled with dust. If Chu Mo hadn't looked at it carefully, he might not have noticed anything unusual. Could this be the exit? Chu Mo hesitated. What if it was a trap? He had read a lot of novels or movies. Those underground palaces and other buildings liked to design some traps inside. It was impossible to guard against them!
This put Chu Mo in a difficult position! It was true that they could not get out of this godforsaken place. It would be fine if this thing were to be released, but they were afraid that it would trigger the mechanism!
Should he do it or not? Chu Mo bit his lower lip, his gaze shifting.
It wasn't a good idea to keep being trapped here!
Damn it! Chu Mo gritted his teeth, his heart filled with determination! A real man has things to do and things not to do! Cowardly, what the hell! F * ck!
Chu Mo's eyes were like a hook as he stared at the protruding part. Then, he slowly extended his right hand and placed his palm on it.
"Phew-"
He breathed out a long breath of turbid air and gathered his spiritual energy. His entire body tensed up and he entered a state of high alert. If he discovered that something was wrong, he could escape at any time.
Chu Mo tried to press down on the bulge, but it seemed to be blocked. He did not move at all! Chu Mo didn't dare to be careless. He increased his strength bit by bit and pressed down.
" Ka... Ka Ka..." A sound came from the wall. After Chu Mo used almost 80% of his strength, the protruding stone finally loosened and was pressed into the wall bit by bit.
It was not until the entire bulge was pressed into the wall that the sound stopped. Then, there was no more movement. The entire wall was silent! Chu Mo turned his body to the side and was on high alert, ready to deal with any unexpected situations!
"Why is there no sound?" After pressing down on the bulge for half a minute, there was no reaction. No exit appeared, and no mechanism activated. Chu Mo was bewildered and was on guard, not daring to be careless.
"Boom!"
Finally, the ground trembled slightly. The man and the five beasts were stunned and looked at the ground in unison.
" Earthquake?!" Beary Two mumbled uncertainly.
Immediately after, a sound that made one's teeth ache came from the ground, coming from somewhere behind Chu Mo.
"Gah…Gah…"
It was like some kind of ancient mechanism had been activated. Chu Mo's heartstrings instantly tightened as he took a few steps back and carefully observed the ground.
"Squeak…Squeak…"
The sound continued. There were piles of gravel on the ground. As the sound traveled, the gravel sank bit by bit! When the sound stopped, the pile of rubble had disappeared and was replaced by an entrance!
A square underground entrance! Chu Mo had pressed the mechanism to open this entrance. After experiencing the vicissitudes of time and being covered in dust, he did not expect this mechanism to still be usable! He also did not expect that someone would trigger it again!
Chu Mo stared at the entrance cautiously. Xiong Da and Xiong Er's attention had long been attracted and they all looked over. With Chu Mo's tacit approval, they slowly approached this place.
"This is a tunnel?" Beary Two scratched the back of his head and looked at Radish Head.
Carrot Head stared at the pitch-black entrance, blinked, and looked up at Bear Two. "Why are you looking at me? I promise I didn't make this hole.”"Is this the exit?" Xiong Da guessed softly as he looked at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo did not utter a word, but his brows furrowed slightly. "I'll go down and take a look."
"No, Great Immortal. It's pitch-black inside this cave. It's obviously not safe. What if we encounter danger?”Beary Two looked conflicted.
