“Really?” Xiao Zhuzi held her breath, trying to sense something. Although she felt nothing, she completely trusted Xi Xi's keen perception.
Fei Bao also perked up, excitedly saying, “Great! The presence of wind means we’re getting close to the exit!”
Xi Xi’s antennae quivered continuously, acting like a precise navigation device, guiding Xiao Zhuzi and Fei Bao towards the source of the faint airflow. Despite their exhaustion, the three friends had pushed beyond their physical limits, and their steps quickened.
“It’s just ahead!” Xi Xi suddenly exclaimed with excitement. “I can feel the airflow getting stronger!”
Xiao Zhuzi and Fei Bao sensed it too; a cool breeze from ahead brushed against their faces, as if hope and freedom were beckoning them.
Finally, after turning a sharp corner, they saw a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Though not blinding, the glow made the three little creatures squint after so long in darkness.
“An exit! It’s an exit! We found the exit!” Xiao Zhuzi shouted excitedly, unable to hold back her tears.
The three friends supported each other as they hurried towards the exit. When they finally squeezed through the narrow crack, the sight before them left them utterly stunned.
A vast and beautiful Underground Lake lay before them, its waters crystal clear and shimmering with a bluish-green glow. A large expanse of aquatic plants swayed gracefully on the surface in the dim light. Soft glows emerged from clusters of pale purple petals, resembling stars that had fallen into the water.
“This… this is…” Fei Bao stammered, eyes wide in disbelief.
Xiao Zhuzi rubbed her eyes, thinking she was dreaming. “Isn’t this… Mist Blossom?!”
Xi Xi recognized it too: “It’s Mist Blossom! There’s no mistake!”
The three friends exchanged glances, suddenly struck by an incredible realization.
“Could it be…” Xiao Zhuzi gasped, “We’ve returned to Mistwood Forest?”
Fei Bao flapped his wings and stretched his body in midair. He looked around in amazement before landing back beside Xiao Zhuzi and Xi Xi, shouting excitedly, “I can’t believe it! Xiao Zhuzi! Xi Xi! This is the underground lake beneath Mistwood Forest and Ground Fissure! It’s the one that formed after we flooded Scorpion Tomb!”
Xiao Zhuzi murmured, “This is unbelievable! This underground fissure tunnel connects Mistwood Forest to the underground world of Lonely Cloud Peak!”
The three friends shared a joyful smile and cheered in unison. They embraced tightly as Xiao Zhuzi cried tears of joy. Neither Xi Xi nor Fei Bao teased her for being emotional; their own eyes were misty as well.
After a long and arduous journey through the perilous underground world, the three little adventurers finally found a truly safe place to rest. They quickly washed up by the lakeside, and Xi Xi dug up some tender Tzu Gu. Starving, they feasted heartily; the long-awaited feeling of fullness made them sigh with happiness before they drank their fill of water.
Content and full, the three friends nestled together and soon fell into a deep sleep. The gentle light rippling on the lake's surface and the soft breeze acted like a soothing lullaby, comforting their weary bodies and minds.
In this deep slumber, Xiao Zhuzi, Xi Xi, and Fei Bao slept exceptionally well, waking up refreshed only when the sun was high in the sky. They packed their belongings and stepped out of Ground Fissure. The moment they set foot on solid ground, warm sunlight enveloped them instantly.
“Wow!” Xiao Zhuzi couldn’t help but cheer as she tumbled joyfully under the sun. “We finally see the sun again! I thought I’d turn into a mushroom!”
Xi Xi’s antennae sparkled in the sunlight as she rolled happily on the grass. “This feels amazing! I almost forgot what sunshine was like!”
Fei Bao could no longer contain himself; he spread his wings and soared into the sky, tracing beautiful arcs in midair. “Freedom! Finally able to fly freely under the sun!”
The three little ones played joyfully under the sun, frolicking and chasing each other in Mistwood Forest. Suddenly, Xiao Zhuzi stopped in her tracks, looking at Xi Xi and Fei Bao with surprise.
“Wait! Have you noticed that Mistwood Forest seems different?”
Upon hearing this, Xi Xi and Fei Bao also paused, carefully surveying their surroundings. When they first emerged from the underground world, they had been too caught up in their excitement to notice. Now, taking a closer look, they realized just how much Mistwood Forest had changed!
The plants were more lush than ever, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of flowers. They could faintly hear the calls of various Chong Chongs. Not far away, a few fluffy squirrels were happily chasing each other among the branches. The once hazy and mysterious Mistwood Forest now thrived with life.
“How amazing!” Xiao Zhuzi exclaimed. “It seems that many little animals have made their homes here while we were away.”
Xi Xi added joyfully, “Mistwood Forest is so vibrant now! It’s so lively; this is wonderful!”
The three friends exchanged smiles, filled with pride. They wove through the revitalized Mistwood Forest, embarking on the final leg of their journey back to Xian Cao Garden, their spirits exceptionally high.
Fei Bao was particularly excited; he occasionally used his special harness to soar into the sky with Xiao Zhuzi. It had been a long time since she experienced the thrill and joy of flying. She laughed heartily in the air while waving enthusiastically at Xi Xi below, who looked up with a hint of concern.
