Qi Yang didn't think of any other faster way to break the formation, so they could only wait.

Fortunately, there was a small gap on both sides of each stone wall, so there was no need to suffocate to death in the stone chamber as Ling'er feared.

Qi Yang told Ling'er to wait for the stone wall on their right to rise, and then go forward through three secret rooms to return to the starting point.

When Ling'er opened her eyes again, she didn't know how much time had passed. She fell asleep accidentally.

Ling'er turned to look at Qi Yang, only to see him holding a torch and staring at the ground in a daze.

Ling'er followed Qi Yang's line of sight and saw the word "ten" written on the ground with pebbles.

Ten? What does this mean? Ling'er looked at Qi Yang in confusion. If she asked, would Brother Yang answer?

But judging from Qi Yang's eyes at this moment, Ling'er felt that Qi Yang would not answer her.

Qi Yang's eyes were full of helplessness and confusion, which made Ling'er feel a little distressed.

Ling'er looked at Qi Yang quietly, as if she could feel the sadness in his heart. What happened to him?

Qi Yang noticed it as soon as Ling'er woke up, but he couldn't get out of his heart for a while, or he was unwilling to get out.

Being close to Ling'er made him feel unprecedentedly satisfied, and also made him gradually forget his own situation. But just because some things were forgotten for a moment doesn't mean they don't exist! How could he be so selfish? He had harmed Ling'er!

Qi Yang wanted to calm down, but luckily Ling'er also left some space for him.

Qi Yang felt that as long as Ling'er stayed with him like this, even if he didn't say a word or did anything, he could give him endless warmth, warmth that made him greedy. But what could he give Ling'er?

The familiar sound of the mechanism opening brought Qi Yang back from his endless thoughts.

Noticing that the stone wall on their left was slowly rising, Ling'er stood up and asked in surprise: "Is this the passage we are waiting for to be opened this time?"

It turned out that other stone walls had risen before, but Qi Yang thought that not only would it not be possible to return to the starting point faster through those passages, but it would also be tiring to travel all the way.

"Not bad!" Qi Yang breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. They were finally here!

Ling'er picked up the torch with one hand and held Qi Yang's arm with the other, waiting for the other stone wall to rise.

Qi Yang looked at Ling'er's kiss and felt a little complicated. He couldn't bear Ling'er's kindness to him, but if he pushed Ling'er's hand away at this time, he would definitely hurt Ling'er's heart again. How could he?

Can you bear it?

Sure enough, as Qi Yang expected, the stone wall on their right also rose up.

Ling'er couldn't wait to bend down and get ready to get through.

Qi Yang grabbed Ling'er and asked, "If my estimate is wrong..."

"How could it be?" Ling'er said with a smile.

"What if I'm wrong?" Qi Yang asked again.

"Then let's change places and rest for a while! You see, we have brought so much dry food, why are we afraid of starving?" Ling'er said disapprovingly.

Qi Yang was very moved, not only because Ling'er believed in him, but also because she was willing to share the joys and sorrows with him and face everything together.

"Eh? Why is this stone wall rising so slowly?" Linger then noticed that the stone wall in front of him was still rising slowly.

Qi Yang looked back and saw that the stone wall that had risen first just now was about to rise to the top.

Suddenly there was a "clang", the sound came from the previous stone room. It should be the sound of a stone wall falling, but it was different from the previous sound.

"This sound is wrong!" Qi Yang was thinking when he saw the stone wall behind them hit the top and suddenly hit the ground with a "clang".

Slow rise and fast fall!

Qi Yang reacted very quickly, stretched out his left hand to hold Ling'er, raised his breath, and jumped forward to the next stone room.

Before Ling'er could recover, she felt the stone wall behind her fall quickly the moment they stood firm.

"If I were a step too late..." Ling'er didn't dare to think about it any more.

Qi Yang looked at the stone wall that was approaching the top again in front of them, dodged again, and led Ling'er into the next stone room.

Before Ling'er was shocked, he discovered that the stone wall on their left and the stone wall on the right side of the previous stone room had risen to almost the top! Perhaps these stone walls had already begun to rise one after another when they were discussing those "what ifs"

Got it!

Ling'er's legs were so frightened that they became weak. Fortunately, Qi Yang took her all the way and saw them narrowly reaching the next stone room before one stone wall reached its top.

But then, Qi Yang suddenly let go of Ling'er.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry." Qi Yang said in a low voice.

"Ah?" Ling'er didn't react for a moment. When did Qi Yang suddenly say this?

Ling'er pointed to the stone wall in front of her that was about to reach the top, took Qi Yang's arm, and said anxiously: "Let's go!"

"Don't leave!" Qi Yang didn't have time to explain, and grabbed Ling'er with his backhand to ensure that she wouldn't rush over suddenly.

Then Linger watched helplessly as the stone wall in front of her fell heavily back to the ground.

"Why?" Ling'er looked at Qi Yang puzzled.

"We can't go any further. If I guessed correctly, the starting point should be over here." Qi Yang suddenly raised his hand and pointed to their left.

The moment Qi Yang raised his hand, the stone wall on their left quickly rose up.

Qi Yang was worried that the stone wall would suddenly fall, so he quickly grabbed Ling'er and ducked over.

Ling'er took a closer look and saw that they were not in the same stone chamber where they had just entered the "blood cave".

"We're back!" Ling'er said in surprise. But as soon as she finished speaking, she frowned. Have they returned to the starting point after so long?

Qi Yang saw Ling'er's melancholy and hurriedly comforted her and said, "It's not in vain. How can we find out how to break the formation if we don't try it in the formation?"

Ling'er thought about it and asked Qi Yang: "Then we have to wait again?"

"Yeah." Qi Yang nodded. He didn't want Ling'er to suffer like this, but he had no other choice.

However, what Qi Yang didn't know was that Ling'er didn't feel hard at all. As long as she could stay with Qi Yang, she was happy even if she couldn't do anything.

At this moment, the previously raised stone wall began to slowly fall.

And the door of this "blood cave" has not been closed since it was opened.

"It's okay here, the air is circulated and it's not stuffy. You can wait as long as you like!" Ling'er walked to the door of the stone room with a torch and looked out.

Ling'er suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "What should Uncle Ji and the others do?"

"Girl, there is no need to worry. Master Ji and the others will be able to find a way to break the formation if they have more people and strength," Qi Yang said.

"What if I can't find it?" Ling'er asked anxiously.

"I believe Master Ji. We didn't see them when we were waiting in the stone room just now, which means they have stopped to think about countermeasures. Even if they can't think of a way to break the formation at the moment, as long as they pass by the one we just stayed in again

The stone chamber, I will figure it out after seeing the marks I left on the ground." Qi Yang said.

It turned out that Brother Yang left a clue to Uncle Ji and the others? Ling'er felt relieved and couldn't help but sigh at Qi Yang's thoughtfulness.

Qi Yang walked to Linger's side and looked outside.

It was still dark outside, but the faint light on the bronze figures could still be vaguely seen.

Qi Yang suddenly had the idea that although he could not repay Ling'er's feelings, he could satisfy Ling'er's wishes as much as possible.

Just now he was with a group of people. He couldn't let everyone take risks together, but now it was different.
