They did come out of the passage, but they seemed to be halfway up the mountain, and they were on a stone platform halfway up a peak.
There are cliffs all around, with nothing but bare rocks and no plants at all, making it look extremely difficult to climb.
Looking far away, you can see the clouds on the horizon and the sunset reflected by the setting sun.
The strong wind was blowing wildly, and he felt a slight chill, which made Shen Yao feel a little colder in his heart.
"This... is this halfway up the mountain? We still can't get out completely?"
After seeing the scene in front of her, Yun Shang was slightly disappointed.
But her mood was obviously much better, because she could finally see things, and the clouds in the west were extremely bright and beautiful.
"It's nice to be here. At least you can see the scenery outside and don't have to keep in the dark anymore."
Yun Shang smiled softly, just like the brilliant sunset.
"That's right, but at least we see hope. If we can find an exit, there will be a second one, and it may not be impossible to go down here. Let me check the situation first."
Shen Yao nodded and gently put Yun Shang down.
Then he walked to the edge of the stone platform. He found that the stone platform was a structure like an eagle's beak. It was impossible to climb down from here. He could only consider climbing down from the two sides that were like knives and axes. We went up and down the steep rock.
He raised his right foot and stepped on a slightly protruding rock of only five centimeters. Then, with his other hand, he firmly latched onto the rock and slowly climbed down.
"Be careful."
Seeing Shen Yao's body hanging in the air and the cliff below him, Yun Shang reminded him worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's okay. I feel like I can continue climbing..."
Shen Yao grinned at Yun Shang.
Before he finished speaking, there was a crash, and the rock under his feet cracked and fell. His entire balance was broken, and he also fell down.
"Shen Yao..."
After seeing this, Yun Shang hurried to the edge of the stone platform and shouted anxiously and helplessly.
Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything or hear any response.
Her heart suddenly became empty, and her whole body seemed to have lost all strength. She slumped down on the edge of the stone platform, and the strong wind blew wildly, blowing off the headband on her ponytail.
Her long hair was fluttering in the strong wind. She still seemed not to believe the scene in front of her, and Shen Yao just fell down.
"Shen Yao, did you hear... you said that you wanted to take me out, you can't just fall down like this..."
Yun Shang shouted again.
But still no response.
Although I don't want to believe it, this is the fact. Shen Yao really fell.
A sadness welled up from the bottom of her heart, and tears filled her helpless and confused eyes. She inexplicably thought of everything she had spent with Shen Yao these past few days.
Although this man is very carefree, he always gives her a sense of reliability and stability.
But now...
"You can't just die like this. I'm still thinking that if we can't get out, I'll give myself to you!"
Yun Shang whispered softly in a daze, her eyes completely losing their luster.
"Ahem... In order to be able to kiss Fangze, even if I die, I have to crawl out of hell."
Just then, a familiar voice sounded.
She thought she was hallucinating, but in the end, she saw a big hand tightly grasping the angle between the edge of the stone platform and the mountain, climbing up, holding a short knife in one hand.
Isn't it the same Shen Yao who fell down just now?
"You...you're not dead?"
Yun Shang cried with joy and threw herself into Shen Yao's arms, crying inexplicably.
Even she didn't know why the tears were shed. Maybe she was excited, or maybe she was overjoyed after great tragedy, and her emotions fluctuated violently.
"Didn't you just say that? If you want to give yourself to me, how dare I die!"
Shen Yao said half-jokingly.
At the same time, he caressed her delicate jade back.
"It's already here, and you're still thinking about me!"
Yun Shang left Shen Yao's arms and gave Shen Yao a coquettish look.
There was a faint blush on her pale cheeks. She didn't look dignified and elegant at all, but she looked a bit like a shy little daughter-in-law.
"Just kidding, it was all thanks to your dagger just now. Otherwise, my life would have been at stake."
Shen Yao waved the dagger in his hand and said with lingering fear.
Just now, he really almost capsized completely, but fortunately, he stabbed the mountain with a short knife in time, which stabilized his sliding posture and climbed back up.
"This road is considered broken. The mountain is almost made of stones. However, the stones on the surface are already very fragile due to the wind, rain, and sun all year round. If you are not careful, they will fall down."
Shen Yao looked regretfully at the uneven stones on the mountain and said.
These rocks are quite confusing. They seem to be easy to climb down, but they are so fragile that you don't even know which rocks are weathered and have a loose structure.
It's easy to fall for it.
With his strength, it would be extremely risky to climb down, and he would have to be prepared to die at any time, let alone Yun Shang.
"It's okay. Didn't you say that once there is an exit, a second one will appear?"
Yun Shang looked at Shen Yao and said.
"You actually comforted me."
Shen Yao smiled, took the backpack on the side, and took out Bigu Dan and a small piece of compressed biscuit.
Divided it into two portions and handed them to Yun Shang.
"To celebrate, we saw the sun again, found an exit, and rewarded it with compressed biscuits."
Shen Yao said with a smile.
The two of them sat side by side on the stone platform, blowing in the strong wind, watching the sunset, and eating compressed biscuits. Although the texture was rough and the taste was bland, in such an environment, it was very sweet and full of flavor.
Much more delicious than Bigu Dan.
The sunset soon set, the sky was covered with a layer of darkness, and night gradually fell.
"Let's go! Since this road doesn't work, let's find it again. I've already noted this passage. If we still want to see the outside, we can come here at any time."
Shen Yao turned to look at Yun Shang and said.
"Um."
Yun Shang nodded, her mental state seemed much better.
Maybe it's because I saw the sunshine outside again, the wind blew outside, or maybe it was because I experienced what happened to Shen Yao in danger just now, and my will has become much stronger, at least I won't give up easily.
She lay on Shen Yao's back again and set off again.
Feeling the familiar smell and the broad back, she pressed her body closer, as if she was afraid that something would happen to Shen Yao again.
Maybe it’s only after losing it once that you know how to cherish it more.
The sound of wind in his ears became more and more distant, but Yun Shang still felt an indescribable peace in his heart. Shen Yao walked towards other forks in the road while continuing to construct a three-dimensional passage map in his mind.
