"What's there to talk about?" Xianxian rolled her eyes and said casually, "It's just that I've seen him a few times when we were kids, and I'm not familiar with him!"
"You mean you two met when you were young?" If that's the case, Lime really isn't Immortality. While I breathed a sigh of relief, I also felt more confused.
Xianxian casually picked a flower, sniffed it at her nose, and said, "Am I going to tell you that we were in the same organization when we were kids?"
"What exactly is going on?" I asked.
"I'll tell you, but you'll have to wait until we get back. Do you think this is a place for talking?"
I certainly knew this wasn't the right place to talk, so I nodded and said, "Alright, but you have to tell me your name, Mr. Xia!" Even though I was interrupted, I remembered what Lime had said!
"A name is just a title," Xianxian looked at me with a conflicted expression.
I smirked at her and remained silent. Come on, can’t brothers even say their names?
"Do you really want me to say it?" Xianxian asked.
"Of course!"
With a sigh, Xianxian reluctantly said, "Fine, it's Xia Yuxian."
I realized I had somewhat failed; it took me so long to learn my brother's real name! But it's better than not knowing at all. Just as I was about to ask a few more questions, Xianxian said, "Fengfeng, I'll tell you about my matters afterwards."
So you don't want to tell me now? Forget it, I won't let a small matter ruin our mood, so I waved my hand and casually said, "Alright."
The conversation ended here, and we had to keep moving forward. Lime said there should be an exit around here; as long as we searched carefully, we should be able to find it. Otherwise, we would just have to wait here to die. I thought about how we had come down with Vine, but now that Vine was nowhere to be seen, climbing back up was impossible, so we had to find another way out.
The light grew dimmer until we were completely engulfed in darkness. We could only take out the Glow Sticks, feeling our way along the walls as we moved forward. Looking at the three lonely Glow Sticks in the dark, I suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. The cold air made me shiver, as if something was blowing past me...
Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm, and I slammed against the wall. At the same time, two sounds echoed around me.
A beam of light suddenly appeared; I squinted and glanced back to see what had grabbed me. It was a withered hand, about the size of a baby's palm, jet black and dry, like a bag of bones! Most of the black arm was hidden within the wall! That wasn't even the worst part; horrifyingly, the wall behind us was covered with such black, withered hands! The visual impact was overwhelming; for a moment, I felt like I was in hell! The Ghost Hand reaching out from the wall seemed intent on pulling us in!
After a moment of panic, I quickly drew the Black Dagger that I had seen earlier in the Crystal Coffin and slashed at the black hand. As it loosened its grip, I immediately stepped back.
Seeing the scene before me from the front was even more shocking; countless black hands were clawing at us as if they could emerge at any moment. I swallowed hard; I really couldn't understand why so many black hands were growing out of the wall.
"Lime, what kind of expression is that?" Xianxian suddenly asked.
I instinctively turned to look at Lime and noticed his eyes sparkling with light. He didn't show much change in expression, but it wasn't just Xianxian who noticed; I also felt an ominous premonition. Sure enough, Lime smiled at us and said, "Climb up." After saying that, he put the flashlight in his mouth and grabbed one of the black hands reaching out from the wall while shaking off another black hand from his foot and began to climb up...
"Are we really going to climb?" Xianxian asked me with a look of disdain.
"Let's climb!" Taking a deep breath, I reached for the black hand in front of me. The cold and slightly rough little hand gripped my fingers tightly. Without thinking too much about it, I moved my hands forward and backward, then my feet followed. I thought that with my weight, these Little Black hands might break under my step. To my surprise, they only bent slightly downward; perhaps their "hands" were too small to fully grasp my shoes. So when I pushed off with my foot, it lifted into the air before landing on another black hand. Thus began my laborious yet effortless climb upward.
My eyelids felt heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds; I had never felt this exhausted before. I dared not let go and clung tightly to the frail black hand. In the end, I was climbing purely on instinct. The descent had been quick, but ascending was arduous and long. These past few days had provided insufficient sleep and food; my stamina had already been depleted long ago. Logically speaking, the effects of any medication should have worn off by now; I truly didn't know how much longer I could hold on.
I can only firmly believe that as long as we can survive this time, what awaits us is an endless supply of food and water. Now that we have The Dead, we will no longer fear hunger... as long as we can make it out alive...
It felt like a long time had passed when I suddenly realized that the light above had stopped moving. The position of the light was indeed Lemon, and now that it had stopped, did that mean we had reached the end? Thinking this, I climbed up with all my might, getting closer and closer. Just as my hand touched the cold ground, an overwhelming sense of joy and pride surged from deep within me for the first time!
At that moment, my foot sank, and a powerful force suddenly pulled me down. My hand slipped, and I fell.
No way, Heaven, can you not give me hope only to lead me to despair! Just as I was filled with astonishment, a hand suddenly grabbed mine, and I heard Xianxian struggling to say, "Hold on tight!"
As Xianxian grabbed me, my other hand also tightly grasped the black hand on the wall. I quickly looked down; the light was dim, but I still saw a pale face with eyes flashing with intense hatred and pain!
Dabao...
When I saw Dabao's face, my heart took a heavy blow. Forget it, this is what I owe you. I gave him a bitter smile and let go of my hand. But at that moment, Xianxian shouted angrily, "Do you want to die, Fengfeng? I know you're tired, but I believe you're not the kind of person who would give up at a critical moment! Hold on tight!" The veins on Xianxian's hand were bulging.
"Let go," I said coldly.
"What did you say?" Xianxian asked in disbelief.
"I don't have the strength anymore; I don't want to drag you down." I said lightly.
Xianxian was not just pulling me; Dabao was very strong. It felt like my feet were weighed down by a thousand pounds. During the climb, I relied heavily on strong willpower and instinct. Now that Dabao had appeared, I had already lost the strength to resist. So, dying alone is better than dying together. With that thought in mind, I prepared to let go of The Dead for Xianxian, but at that moment, someone grabbed my left hand, and I saw Lime's face.
