After the fire was raised, a group of people with bows sat around it. They reached out their hands in unison and let out a comfortable sigh, as if they were extremely thirsty for the temperature.

this place is very cold at night. Usually, because the heat source can attract the human-faced spiders, they don’t dare to light a fire.

The bow-wielding man probably noticed the expressions on the trial-goers ‘faces, so he explained with a smile,”

“Most of the time, we were on the road. In order to escape from being hunted down, we rarely had time to rest, so everyone was very relaxed.”

The anxious brows of the others sitting around the fire relaxed a little, as if they agreed with his words.

The wind whistled outside, sweeping up the fine sand on the ground. It passed through the dilapidated city, bringing with it a cold and gloomy feeling.

It wasn’t until now that these people showed human-like behavior when facing the fire source that number one and the others really felt like they had met humans.

“Didn’t you say that the source of the fire here would attract the attention of those human-faced spiders, which would then bring us trouble?”

Song qingxiao found a corner and sat down. The silver Wolf also slowly knelt down beside her. Before it had the time to lower its head and tidy up its fur, song qingxiao relaxed her body and leaned on it.

It lowered its head and instinctively raised its forelimbs to Dodge, but song qingxiao grabbed its big head. It could not escape and could only let song qingxiao lean on its back.

Although the man and Wolf had been together for a long time and had gone through three trial scenes together, they were still getting used to each other.

This gradual intimacy made the silver Wolf’s body tense up, but as her hand slowly stroked its head rhythmically, it slowly relaxed and then adjusted its posture so that she could lean more comfortably.

The man with the bow turned his head and looked at her.

The girl sat against the wolf, separated from her companions. Her expression was lazy, and under the weak light of the fire, her fair skin could not be covered by the sand.

Her eyes were distant. The wolf she was leaning on also turned its huge head to stare at him as he turned his head. Its eyes were exactly the same as song qingxiao’s.

There was no doubt that the huge Silver Wolf was dangerous, but at this time, the scene of a man and a Wolf with similar cold temperament leaning against each other strangely made the bow-wielding man feel a sense of extreme harmony.

“The heat of the fire can indeed attract human-faced spiders.” The man blinked and suppressed his thoughts. He explained in a good-tempered manner,”

but we’re in the underground city, and the temperature here is very low. The fire we made wasn’t big, so the human-faced spiders wouldn’t find us.

As if to prevent song qingxiao from asking more questions, he jokingly added,

“This is also the experience we learned from countless lessons. Don’t worry.”

He thought that he had explained everything clearly, but song qingxiao continued,”

“Underground city?” As she asked, she helped the silver Wolf tear off the spider silk wrapped around its body.

“Why is this place called the underground city? Could there be an above-ground city?”

The leader’s eyebrows twitched. He was a little impatient, but he forced himself to hold back.

“You’ve come here, but you don’t know anything about this place?”

“I don’t know much indeed.” Number one glanced at song qingxiao. He was afraid that she would anger her, so he tried to smooth things over.

“But brother, why is this place called an underground city? What was this place? What were those human-faced spiders? Why are you here?”

He threw out several questions in a row, but because he spoke with a smile and a gentle attitude, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze, the bow-wielding man’s expression became much better.

Just as he said, he had probably been here for a long time, and perhaps it was not his first time meeting escapees like the trial-takers, so he seemed to have been prepared for number one’s question.

the reason why this place is called an underground city is because it was once submerged by seawater and sank to the bottom of the sea for many years.

His words verified what song qingxiao had said when she picked up the shell. Number one’s face fell into deep thought.

“Of course, the reason why it’s called that is because this place is indeed located below the terrain.”

The man looked at number one.

you were crossing the lake.. Judging from the direction you came from, you should be on the other side of the great Canyon, right? “
