Chapter 328 On the way home
Gradually, he found that Xueyao's originally rapid breathing began to become steady, and her pale complexion also improved slightly.
Seeing this change, Lin Ze's tense heart finally relaxed a little. He took a deep breath, and the anxiety in his heart was slightly relieved.
At this moment, an extremely subtle sound suddenly came into Lin Ze's ears.
He became alert instantly, with all his muscles tensed, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
He stood up quickly, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the stone chamber.
Sure enough, the mysterious black shadow appeared there again.
This time, the black shadow had some food and water in his hands. He walked silently to Lin Ze, handed these things over, and said softly, "For you." Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Lin Ze looked at the food and water in his hands, and a feeling of gratitude involuntarily surged in his heart.
Although he still had no idea about the true purpose of this black shadow, at least at this moment, the tangible help he provided made Lin Ze feel extremely warm.
After some inner struggle, Lin Ze finally decided to put aside all the doubts in his heart for the time being. The most important thing was to take care of Xueyao's health wholeheartedly.
Lin Ze anxiously took out some dry food and water from his backpack and quickly handed them to Xue Yao. Seeing her wolfing down the food, Lin Ze felt distressed and whispered, "Eat slowly, don't choke." After Xue Yao finished eating and drinking the water, Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he leaned against the cold wall, frowning, thinking about the next action plan in his mind. The reappearance of the mysterious black shadow was like a thunderbolt across his heart, making him realize clearly that this place was full of dangers and was definitely not a place to stay for long.
But the problem now is that Xueyao is still very weak. Not to mention long journeys, even walking a few more steps seems a bit strenuous. Lin Ze gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind to wait for Xueyao to recover some strength before finding the right time to escape from this strange place.
During the long waiting time, Lin Ze was not idle. He tried to communicate with the mysterious black shadow many times, hoping to get more information about this place from it. However, no matter how Lin Ze shouted and asked, the black shadow remained silent, hiding in the darkness like a ghost. However, every once in a while, the black shadow would silently deliver some daily necessities, which made Lin Ze feel confused and a little relieved.
As time passed, Lin Ze's doubts grew. But he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to ensure Xueyao's personal safety, and everything else could be put aside for the time being.
So, he was extremely alert, always vigilant to possible dangers around him, guarding Xue Yao, and quietly waiting for the best time to escape.
During the long and anxious waiting time, Xueyao lay quietly by the side, her face as pale as paper, her body still weak, her eyes tightly closed, as if she was falling into a deep sleep.
Lin Ze stayed by her side silently, checking on Xue Yao's condition from time to time to make sure that she did not encounter any accidents; on the other hand, his brain was working rapidly all the time, racking his brains to think about how to get in touch with the mysterious black shadow, or find other exits to escape from this strange place.
Days passed, and finally one day, the dark shadow appeared quietly as usual, with his hands full of supplies.
This time, Lin Ze was determined not to sit there and wait for death. He wanted to seize this rare opportunity and take the initiative to search for the black shadow.
So, when the black shadow turned and left, Lin Ze followed without hesitation.
The black shadow was seen floating around in the darkness like a ghost. Lin Ze had to be extremely alert and follow it closely, fearing that he would lose its trace if he was not careful.
After a thrilling chase, the black shadow finally entered an extremely hidden cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave is covered by dense vegetation. If no one had seen the dark shadow enter with their own eyes, it would have been difficult for anyone to notice the existence of this place.
After a little hesitation, Lin Ze stepped into the cave resolutely.
As soon as you enter the cave, a mysterious atmosphere hits you in the face, making you feel chilly.
The light in the cave was dim and thick fog filled the air, making the vision blurry.
Lin Ze groped forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.
After an unknown amount of time, he came to the depths of the cave.
Here, he was surprised to find a huge ancient stone tablet, which was covered with densely packed and strange symbols of various shapes.
These symbols seemed to have life, flickering a faint light, adding a strange color to the entire cave.
Just as Lin Ze was concentrating on studying the symbols, suddenly, the stone tablet burst into dazzling light without warning, instantly illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.
At the same time, a low and majestic voice rang in his mind: "Young man, if you want to leave here, you must pass the many tests I set!" Hearing this, Lin Ze's heart was shocked, but then he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He looked at the glowing stone tablet with a determined gaze and responded loudly: "Okay! I accept the challenge!"
From that day on, Lin Ze began to face a series of unprecedented difficulties and obstacles.
Sometimes, he needed to cross a jungle full of thorns, and if he was not careful, he would get scratched by the thorns; sometimes, he had to face a turbulent river, and if he was not careful, he would be swept away by the turbulent current.
However, no matter what difficulties he encountered, Lin Ze never gave up.
With his indomitable perseverance and outstanding abilities, he overcame seemingly impossible tasks one after another bit by bit.
After several days of arduous struggle, Lin Ze finally faced the final test.
This is a level composed of countless mechanisms and traps. Any negligence will result in all your efforts being wasted.
But at this time, Lin Ze has been reborn. He calmly observes the surrounding environment, skillfully avoids deadly traps, and approaches the finish line step by step...
Finally, accompanied by a clear and pleasant sound, all the mechanisms stopped working, and Lin Ze successfully passed all the tests!
At this moment, the originally closed cave wall slowly opened, and a bright passage appeared before him.
Lin Ze was extremely excited. He quickly turned around and ran back to where Xue Yao was. He carried her, who was still unconscious, on his back and walked quickly along the corridor.
Along the way, Lin Ze was eager to go home, and his pace became faster and faster. After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.
