Boom...

  The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder r.

  Daytime seemed like night.

  Amidst the storm, two figures quickly darted into a cave.

  Qin Churan broke free from Lu Ming's hand, g as she questioned him, "Why did you save me?"

  Lu Ming, not oo indulge Qin Churan, poio the cave entrand said, "Fihen go back, take a right when you exit."

  Qin Churan suddenly burst into tears.

  Lu Ming moved to the cave entrance, looking outside, a hint of worry in his eyes.

  His level was low, and he was too slow. If he ran, he definitely couldn't outrun those level 50 pyers fron Soul.

  So he had to hide for now.

  Just as he was worried that Qin Churan's urained g might attract the Dragon Soul pyers, footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the cave!

  Lu Ming quickly pulled back, c Qin Churan's mouth with lightning speed, pressing her against the stone wall.

  Qin Churan's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Lu Ming.

  Before she could react, voices came from outside the cave:

  "That God Syer, Moon is only level 33, she 't run fast, she must be nearby, search carefully!"

  "We'll go this way, you guys go that way, split up and search!"

  "Yes!"

  As the footsteps gradually faded away.

  The close proximity made Lu Ming clearly feel Qin Churan's accelerated heartbeat.

  However, Lu Mi something strange.

  "I was clearly c her mouth, so why I feel her heartbeat?"

  "Huh? What's this soft thing?"

  Just as Lu Ming uzzled, he realized his left hand ressing on something soft, and it felt quite fortable to squeeze, so he couldn't help but squeeze it a couple more times.

  He instinctively looked down and was shocked to find his left hand was on Qin Churan's chest...

  Lu Ming quickly let go and stepped back.

  Qin Churan turned her already flushed face away, awkwardly tidying her slightly disheveled clothes.

  The air fell silent.

  After a while, Qin Churan calmed down and said to Lu Ming, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now..."

  "Thank you for saving me."

  Lu Ming squatted at the cave entrance, the situation outside.

  Qin Churan squatted down, burying her head and sobbing softly.

  "When I was little, whenever someone bullied me, Xiao Wu would appear by my side to protect me,"

  "When I was unhappy or sad, Xiao Hu would try everything to cheer me up,"

  "Every time A Lo out, he would secretly bring me delicious food,"

  "Old Zhu was a quiet one, but he gave all his tendero me..."

  Qin Churan's shoulders trembled slightly.

  At this moment, she felt as if she had lost the whole world.

  Lu Ming looked at Qin Churan and said, "Only by living you have a ce for revenge."

  Just as Qin Churan lifted her tear-streaked face to look at Lu Ming, ready to say something.

  Suddenly, there was another otion outside the cave!

  "There's a cave over there, let's cheside, maybe they're hiding in there!"

  The two immediately tensed.

  They looked towards the depths of the cave.

  I itch bck, like a gaping maw filled with endless danger.

  Fag the threat closing in from behind, Lu Ming and Qin Churaated for a moment, then resolutely ran deeper into the cave.

  Meanwhile, outside the cave.

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu personally led the chase.

  Several Dragon Soul pyers casually checked ihe cave and, seeing no one, reported ton Soul Guan Yu, "Boss, there's no one inside!"

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu ehe cave, looking at the damp ground, a rge patch of footprints clearly visible, leading deeper into the cave.

  He immediately uood.

  "They're in here."

  Hearing this, his subordinates were about to rush in, but Dragon Soul Guan Yu stopped them, "o go in, we'll just guard outside."

  The surrounding underlings were puzzled, "What if they escape?"

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu leisurely checked the map.

  "This pce is called [Viper Cave], the terrain inside is plex, easy to defend and hard to attack, but this map has only o, right where we stand."

  "If they want to e out, they must pass through this exit, uhey die inside or hide there forever."

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu squinted, looking as if he had already secured Lu Ming and Qin Churan.

  Oher side, Lu Ming and Qin Churan reached the depths of the cave.

  In the dark, damp interior, they heard a rustling sound around them. Looking around, they found snakes everywhere—on the ground, the stone walls, even above their heads!

  In the darkness, tless pairs of glowing greeared ily at them.

  Lu Ming realized they had entered a level 42 map!

  The level 42 vipers around them could very well take their lives at any moment!

  Qin Churan's face ale.

  It was clear she was afraid of snakes, yet she stubbornly held her silence.

  Faced with the food delivered to their door, the vipers wouldn't be polite.

  In the darkness, several vipers flicked their tongues, making rustling sounds as they slithered towards Lu Ming and Qin Churan!

  Swish!

  Qin Churan drew her bde.

  Lu Ming said, "Your level is too low, you 't hahem."

  Although Qin Churan was level 33, pared to these level 42 vipers, the gap was still signifit.

  Yet, even fag both psychological and physical pressure, Qin Churan didn't back down in the slightest.

  "Your level is even lower, you'll die faster if you go."

  Qin Churan, eyes bzing, stared at the approag vipers and said to Lu Ming, "I don't like owing people."

  "You saved me just now, this time, let me save you."

  As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Churan charged forward with her bde!

  Swish swish swish swish!

  Utilizing the speed advantage of an Assassin, Qin Churan swiftly sshed at a viper, ung a series of rapid attacks.

  But, the damage of a level 33 Assassin was ultimately limited.

  After a full bo of her highest burst, she barely took away a quarter of the viper's health!

  Instead, she was bitten by the viper, her health bar dropping by half, and with the venom corroding her, her health tio deplete every sed!

  Qin Churan frowned slightly.

  Ay surged in her heart, "No, my attack power is too low, and the snake's damage is too high, I 't withstand its attacks..."

  Just as Qin Churan was at a loss on how to deal with this formidable oppo.

  Whoosh!

  Suddenly, two tinuous auras burst from behind, rapidly spreading around, instantly c Qin Churan's position.

  At the same time, Qin Churan received three bat notifications—
