637 The Tunnel Ends
Xue Wei took a deep breath. His heart was hurting, but he understood that he could not let his sadness and despair overwhelm him. Although he wished to mourn for Luoluo’s sacrifice, he would have to wait for when they had gained vengeance on her behalf.
The group had all known that their journey was dangerous and that many risks had to be taken time and time again, however, this time they were understanding the consequences of failing for the first time.
“The greviances are all gone, so let us move forward quicker than before. Although there might be other dangers in this tunnel, I would imagine that any living being, wether good or bad, would have been swallowed by those negative emotions long ago. After all, they do not consider who is friend or foe.” Hei Gou looked at the dim tunnel in front of him. His eyes were dark and the thoughts and emotions he felt were hidden deep within.
Even though his memories had been missing for some time, he still felt an overwhelming pain in his heart, and wanted to destroy this tunnel as soon as possible.
“Let’s go.” Bai Tianyi also managed to get himself pulled together. Their movements were much swifter than before, but they still maintained a certain amount of vigilance so that they would not be surprised again.
Although they were vigilant and kept observing their surroundings as they advanced, nothing unexpected happened, and the tunnel began to rise towards the surface level once more.
After arriving in the tunnels, Xue Wei and the others had lost all contact with the surface levels, and thus they did not know what the various regions above ground had contained, and as such, they had no idea whether they would arrive in another dreadful zone or at the other end of No Man’s Land.
The group had moved swiftly forward. Although they had stayed vigilant and on high alert, their advance had been rapid as no trace of danger had arrived since the devastating battle with the negative emotions.
However, if they were to return to the surface level, they understood full well that they were likely to face danger once more, so the speed slowed down drastically, as they continued to place their explosives at the side of the tunnel. Their goal of destroying this dreadful place had never been forgotten.
.....
“Be careful of what we might experience when we get out, and do not explode the inscriptions or armaments right away. If the outside is unfavorable for us, we might need to withdraw to safety. Although this place should be destroyed, we cannot ignore our own safety for it.”
Xue Wei’s eyes were cold as they approached the ending of the tunnel. Although he was relieved to leave this gloomy underground passage, he was not overly eager to see the outside again either.
Ever since they had arrived at No Man’s Land, many things had been going against them, and their path had been difficult and dangerous. The sacrifices made were also overwhelming, as all of them seemed to have lost something throughout the journey.
Before arriving at No Man’s Land, although Xue Wei and the others understood the severity of the situation, they still had not experienced the genuine hardships that were waiting for them. At the same time, they also had a safety talisman sent by Lan to them, but only after experiencing the deadly danger did they realize that they could not relax at all. Even the safety measures previously planned by Lan were useless.
As the various regions in No Man’s Land were actually small independant worlds, it was not possible to rely on the previously planned protective measures, resulting in them being on their own and paying such a high price.
However the difficulties they had experienced had made them grow up from one moment to another. Their original mindset had already tried to be prepared for the worst, but when it actually happened, they found that they could not adapt at all.
“There is no sound.” Ling Xiao could not help but furrow his brows as he looked at the light that had begun cascading into the gloomy and dimly lit tunnel.
“Advance, but try to avoid making any noise.” Xue Wei nodded his head as he advised through voice transmission. Although the light had already reached into the tunnels, there could still be a certain distance before they would reach the surface levels once more. However, the complete silence made them extra alert. Even the most ordinary forest would have natural sounds; a breeze fluttering through the leaves, birds or insects moving around doing their daily chores, the sounds of running waters or shallow creeks.
The four experts all tried to lighten their steps as they advanced, and they kept all senses on high alert. The tunnel itself had not changed. It was as uncomfortable as before, but nothing dangerous had appeared, making them feel extra tense, as they could not believe that things would become this simple.
The various regions they had gone through so far were all different types of hell and suffering, so their first impression was that even if the outside region seemed peaceful and tranquil, it was likely to hide some gruesome creature or a challenge waiting for them to suffer.
Taking a deep breath, the group arrived at the very end of the tunnel. The sight before them caused them all to be stumped for words, as a sandy beach was leading down to a gushing river. The river was so vast that it was hard to see the other side in the horizon, and the waves were wild and full of power. Crossing this river was not going to be an easy task.
