Gu Shi Yi clenched her teeth and surged forward. The black smoke ahead finally began to thin, and she could faintly see the exit!
"We're almost there!"
Gu Shi Yi was overjoyed. Carrying Yanyan, she rushed to the cave entrance, stumbled, and tumbled out,
"Thump..."
She and Yanyan's bodies fell onto the scorched earth outside the cave. The landscape outside was still the same, with the charred earth all around and the True Spirit Karma Fire blazing intensely.
"Huff huff huff..."
Gu Shi Yi was gasping for air. The dizziness in her head had not subsided yet. She propped up Yanyan's body against the side of the cave entrance and sat down in front of her to prevent the True Spirit Karma Fire from reaching her.
"Let's rest for a bit, then we'll run again!"
Gu Shi Yi shook her head, forcing herself to stay conscious, and turned to listen for any sounds inside the cave. But the footsteps that had followed her seemed to have disappeared?
"Eh... What happened? Did Situ Xiao collapse?"
