My momentum seems to have completely suppressed these ghost-faced moths. As long as I still have the ghost-faced moth in my hand, they will not dare to make any rash move.

After my order, only a few ghost-faced moths retreated at first.

After the number of ghost-faced moths gradually increased, all the ghost-faced moths gradually retreated to the end.

After I felt that it was about the same, I secretly gathered strength and was ready to let go of my feet at any time and escape from here with Xu Jinxiu.

Because I can't guarantee whether these guys will fight back against me after I have no weight.

But I took their ghost queen as a threat, and they would definitely not let me go so easily!

After seeing them all exit, I held the lighter up with one hand, and the flame suddenly started to appear.

The Ghost Faced Queen in my hand began to struggle crazily. At that moment, the Ghost Faced Moths not far away also rioted and rushed towards me. I didn't even think about it and threw the Ghost Faced Queen out on the spot.

And the place where it was thrown was exactly in the direction of the ghost-faced moth.

The ghost-faced moths that were originally coming to kill me saw Ghost Face being thrown away. They immediately pounced on her and hit the fire with their bodies, trying to put out the fire on Ghost Face's body.

But there was a high concentration of alcohol on it, so could it be extinguished so easily?

In an instant, there was a chaos of squeaking sounds, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that the ghost-faced queen was about to be killed, another small group of ghost-faced moths completely went crazy and rushed towards me.

It was at this moment that I took off my feet and hugged Xu Jinxiu before she fell to the ground.

"boom!!!"

The mechanism was touched by me, and the bluestone wall instantly sank into the ground. The moment I hugged Xu Jinxiu, the two of us almost fell in together.

Fortunately, the space here is not small, with enough room for three people. Otherwise, Xu Jinxiu and I would have been stuck when we came in together.

"Bang! Bang bang!!"

There were successive collisions, and my arms, shoulders, knees, and even my forehead were hit.

We fell into a very deep tunnel. This tunnel was like an erected train tunnel, making Xu Jinxiu and I keep falling.

The feeling of weightlessness made my heart beat violently, but I didn't dare to move. I hugged Xu Jinxiu tightly and protected her head with my hands to avoid being injured or disfigured.

It's ridiculous to say that in such a deep tunnel, I don't know whether she will die or live when she lands, but I am still worried about whether she will be disfigured.

I couldn't help laughing at myself, but just a few seconds later, I felt friction on my butt, and the burning pain made me almost scream.

The tunnel began to tilt. I held Xu Jinxiu and slid all the way down.

"POP!!!"

After a while, we both fell into the water. At the moment we entered the water, Xu Jinxiu, who was being held, accidentally let go of me and sank into the water.

I took a deep breath. At this critical moment, there was no room for me to think. One second late might even kill her.

After I plunged in, I immediately saw Xu Jinxiu sinking.

At this moment, she woke up from her coma and was struggling with her hands. She choked on the water several times and was about to suffocate. I speeded up the movement of my limbs and caught her arm in the water.

Then I started to increase the intensity. She was really sinking under the water, and it was pitch black underwater!

If it weren't for my yin and yang eyes, I wouldn't be able to find her in this dark environment until I die.

"Cough! Cough..."

I coughed one after another, resisting the fatigue and soreness in my limbs, and started swimming.

Now, I don't know whether I should say I'm lucky or unlucky.

The two of us fell into an unknown underground lake. There was no way to return, and there was no exit.

Thankfully, what we encountered was an underground lake, not an underground undercurrent.

The underground undercurrent is flowing rapidly, and we will both die at any time. Even if we are not drowned by the undercurrent, we will die of exhaustion.

Five minutes later, I brought Xu Jinxiu, who was unconscious, to the shore. I pressed her chest with one hand and started emergency rescue.

She choked on her saliva several times, and it would be dangerous if she didn't spit it out.

"Ahem..."

After pressing twice, Xu Jinxiu spit out a large amount of water, her nose began to move slightly, and her chest also rose and fell.

"Thank God, he was rescued!"

I was exhausted and paralyzed. My limbs lay limp on the ground like a dead dog. I breathed in the air greedily.

Only at this moment did I feel that it felt so good to be alive. It was really great. It turned out that being able to breathe was such a wonderful thing.

"Chen...Chen Ping!"

Finally, Xu Jinxiu seemed to wake up and shouted my name feebly. I sat up directly, almost as a reflex.

"Yes! I'm here!"

Xu Jinxiu tilted her head slightly, and her expression relaxed after seeing me. She reached out and grabbed my arm tightly.

"Thanks……"

Her hands were very cold and as soft as bones. I took the opportunity to grab them and comfort her.

"Don't worry, we have gotten rid of those dirty bugs. You can rest for a while and wait until you recover. We are trying to find a way out."

But if this continues, there is no solution. Her hands are cold and her body is soaked. The temperature here is inherently low. She will get sick if she wears wet clothes!

Without thinking much, I grabbed the buttons of her clothes on the spot.

Xu Jinxiu's body trembled slightly, and she seemed a little nervous when she saw my behavior.

I was afraid that she was thinking wrongly, so I quickly explained: "Don't worry, it's just the two of us now, I don't mean anything else, the temperature here is too low, if you wear it and get hypothermia, you will be in trouble."

Xu Jinxiu nodded, her complexion recovered a little, and her strength also recovered.

"Chen...Chen Ping, I'd better do it myself."

Her face was a little hot, reflecting a peach red color, maybe she was a little shy of having her body looked at.

I immediately nodded in agreement.

"Sure! Then hurry up. I'll go look around first to see if I can find anything to burn. You can check your backpack later and find something useful."

The most important thing right now is the source of fire. If my yin and yang eyes suddenly fade away, we will fall into endless darkness, which will be the biggest trouble!

I was about to stand up and leave when Xu Jinxiu grabbed my hand. I turned around and saw her voice was a little soft.

"Be careful."

I grinned.

"Don't worry, there are so many dangers coming, don't be afraid."

After saying that, I walked to the right direction, exploring as I walked, memorizing all the surrounding terrain in my mind.
