Chapter 679: 679
Fortunately, with this small cave exit being near the entrance of the 3rd layer, they only travelled another 4-5 kilometers before spotting the black rocky mountain that Gong Yi had described in his earlier briefing .
This mountain appeared to be scored with wounds; its surface was pockmarked, with dense and numerous large caves covering the entire mountainside, causing it to appear just like a massive ant mount that had been exposed to the world . Just looking at the dense array of caves was enough to make people dizzy . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
However, in Gong Yi's eyes, the dizzying, labyrinthine roads appeared just like a straight line in Gong Yi's eyes . From his perspective, everything was automatically sorted and organised into an easily understandable form . Unorganised messes that made ordinary people confused would be clearly processed in his mind due to his innate talent . Even the tiniest details that would take people hours to notice were easily found by him after just a quick look . After taking a few minutes to scan their surroundings, he moved off without any hesitation, leading the group into an inconspicuous cave .
No unworthy person would dare to ascend Mount Liang (from Water Margin) . Gong Yi had already made the necessary evaluations, based on the information he had obtained beforehand and his assessment of his own strength . He believed that he could pull it off; furthermore, he was confident of his gift of the gab .
Only after entering the cave did everyone finally manage to breathe a sigh of relief . They had heard terrifying beastial roars ringing out from where they had engaged in combat with the pack of Cerberi . At this moment, there seemed to be more than one terrifying life form at that location, and they seemed to be fighting with one another . Despite being more than 4-5 kilometers away, the roars could still reach them . Obviously, those ferocious beasts duking it out over the corpses of those 2 dead Cerberi .
Everyone felt their hearts pounding in their chests . They were lucky to have fled the scene of combat in time . If not, they might have been targeted by those terrifying life forms, and that would definitely have been disastrous for them . Even though they could put up a fight, they couldn't afford to delay their progress . Furthermore, despite the infighting, the native life forms would definitely prioritise and target life forms that were not from their world . The mutated beasts on Earth could not be compared to the Dimensional life forms here . After all, this was their home turf, and their strength would not be weakened or restricted . Everyone understood the severity of this matter; it was pointless to judge those beasts with the same ranking system used back on Earth . This was why Sister Hong and Reynolds had acted so decisively, as attempting to continue hiding in that situation would only lead to their death .
Wang Zhong supported Sister Hong into a seated position on the floor of the cave, before sitting down with Reynolds and Gong Yi . Quickly opening her backpack, Little Xin retrieved water and food for everyone . Since she had been useless in the earlier fight, she wanted to play her part now .
Everyone gulped down big mouthfuls of water . Although they were usually stringent on their water rationing, as their future was still unknown, their earlier fight had left them extremely spent . Panting hard, Reynolds and Sister Hong tried their best to calm their beating hearts as they stuffed their mouths with food and water, creating a rather solemn atmosphere .
Earlier in their journey, everyone had hidden their true strength . While it was rather distasteful, it was still understandable; this was the first time that they had met one another, and it was in such an inhospitable environment . Of course, everyone sent here was a "good person", and was sent here for a reason . This made it even more difficult for them to trust one another, and despite getting more familiar with one another along the way, no one would be willing to place their lives in others' hands .
However, Sister Hong had unleashed her Dharma Idol without any hesitation during the fight to save Wang Zhong . Furthermore, Reynolds had revealed his terrifying "Soul Weapon" for the sake of saving Sister Hong . The level of trust between them had naturally improved; fighting back-to-back in life-or-death combat situations, they had become comrade-in-arms .
"Ha ha!" All of a sudden, Sister Hong laughed with a mouth stuffed with food, breaking the awkward silence that filled the cave . Hearing that, a smile surfaced on Reynolds's face, closely followed by Gong Yi, Wang Zhong, and Little Xin .
They had really survived a terrifying ordeal .
