I didn't think that Miss.Lin would ask me to make such an important decision at this moment. I walked around the fork and finally decided to take a turn.
"Let's go this way," I said as I pointed at the fork.
"Then let's take the fork," Miss.Lin nodded.
"Miss.Lin, what if we take the wrong path?" I said worriedly.
"It's fine. If we take the wrong path, we'll turn back. I've already marked the path here. If we take the right path, it'll be your contribution, "Miss.Lin forced a smile.
I couldn't laugh. If we take the wrong path, we might encounter that dangerous existence. A warrior with a stone tool couldn't even deal with it! I waved the stone tool in my hand and it was very handy.
In order to explore the path, I controlled two balls of Primordial Qi Fire. One was used to illuminate the surroundings while the other was placed further ahead. This way, if there was danger ahead, we could immediately turn around.
"Huh? Why is the cave so smooth? It's as if it's been polished, "Miss.Lin said as she looked at me.
I also looked at Miss.Lin. The only reason why the cave was so smooth was that it was often rubbed. It was just like the path in Ba Jiao Village. A path that was often used wouldn't be covered with grass and would be very smooth. If you didn't walk for a while, the path would be covered with grass. If the cave was so smooth, it meant that something was constantly rubbing against the walls.
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath! How big was that thing if it could rub against the walls of the cave? There was one thing for sure. This thing should be a living creature.
"I'm afraid we've taken the wrong path," I said worriedly.
"Should we retreat?" Miss.Lin was also worried.
"There are living things here. What if this path leads to the outside?" I said worriedly. Since there were living things here, it meant that this place was connected to the outside world. Otherwise, living things wouldn't have been able to survive in this isolated cave for so many years.
"Then let's continue forward," Miss.Lin braced herself and said.
"I'll walk in front," I walked in front with the stone tool in my hand.
"No, I'll lead the way!" Miss.Lin pulled me.
"I have a weapon." Naturally, I couldn't let Miss.Lin take the risk.
"Let's walk side by side." Miss.Lin couldn't let me block the danger for her.
I can only hope that the unknown existence won't be guarding the cave all the time. If we happen to catch it coming out of the cave to look for food, we might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to leave the cave. But if we happen to bump into that fellow returning from his foraging, we can only rejoice that he has already eaten his fill.
Miss.Lin and I walked very slowly. We had to see what was in front of us before we continued forward.
After walking for a short distance, I smelled a faint fishy smell in the air. This should be the smell coming from that thing. It was evident that this thing did not come much into the cave by which we had come. Because there was no food in the cave. Perhaps this place was just a shelter for that thing. My scalp tingled at the thought that we might have to pass through this thing's lair if we wanted to leave this place.
"Huang Jingyang, what do you think this thing is?" Miss.Lin asked softly.
"I don't know. But it might be a snake that likes to burrow. "I thought about it and said.
"Snake?" Miss.Lin trembled. Thinking about it, a snake was enough to make Miss.Lin afraid.
"I'm not sure either." I said.
"Hiss!"
The light in front of us suddenly went out. I also heard a low hiss.
"Not good, run!" I pulled Miss.Lin and quickly ran in the direction we came from. Then, I casually threw a Primordial Fire character towards the entrance of the cave.
Boom!
This Primordial Fire character quickly exploded behind us. We didn't have time to see the result. We only cared about running for our lives.
Roar!
Soon, an earth-shaking roar came from behind us.
"Huang Jingyang, don't worry about me. Run by yourself!" Miss.Lin's stamina was decreasing rapidly. Her running speed became slower and slower. She was panting as she ran.
"I'll carry you!" I barbarically pulled Miss.Lin behind me. Then, I carried Miss.Lin and ran.
Miss.Lin struggled, "Don't worry about me. Neither of us can run."
"Either we die together, or we live together!" I roared angrily.
Miss.Lin didn't say anything. Her tears fell on my shoulder.
Miss.Lin was much taller than me. However, I was stronger. Carrying Miss.Lin wasn't difficult.
In order to create obstacles for the guy chasing us, I kept throwing Primordial Fire characters behind us. The guy behind us suffered a lot. It also made that thing more and more berserk. When the Primordial Fire in my body was about to run out, we finally reached the fork in the road that forced me to make a choice. I threw a Primordial Fire character in the direction we came from to light up the path. Then, I used the Earth character to create an earth wall behind us. This completely used up all of my Primordial Fire energy. I could only hope that guy didn't have a high IQ and was tricked by me.
Finally, after about a minute, we finally saw the true face of that thing. It was a huge python! Although its body wasn't enough to fill the entire cave, the way it moved caused its body to rub against the walls of the cave from time to time. The huge python didn't even look in our direction. It directly chased in the direction of the Primordial Fire character.
"Miss.Lin, that guy shouldn't come back so quickly. Should we go that way?" I suddenly had a very risky idea.
"Ah?" Miss.Lin was shocked by my idea. However, after thinking about it carefully, my idea made sense.
"I'll listen to you. If you didn't leave me behind, I wouldn't have survived. My life is in your hands now. "Teacher Lin's mood was much more relaxed.
"Come, I'll carry you." I squatted down in front of Miss.Lin.
"No need. I seem to have recovered a bit of my strength." Miss.Lin didn't get on.
"Come on. Save some strength for escaping. Who knows, it might come back soon. "I insisted.
Miss.Lin hesitated for a moment, but still got on my back.
I carried Miss.Lin and quickly ran into the python cave. God knows when the python will come back. Miss.Lin and I had to take advantage of the time when the python came back to escape from this place. I carried Miss.Lin on my back and ran for more than ten minutes in one breath. We arrived at a very large cave. However, most of the cave was filled with water. Looking around, I couldn't see a way out. This was a dead end! Maybe the exit was in the water.
"Look, there's a platform!" Miss.Lin got off my back and pointed at the top of the cave.
The platform was very high and there was no way up. If we go back now, we might just meet the python on the way. We have to climb up the platform. Otherwise, when the python comes back, we will die without a burial place!
