It turned out her sixth sense wasn't so easily wrong after all. Fang Jinshu didn't know what she stepped on under her feet, but there was a click, as if she had stepped on some kind of mechanism.

Three people's faces changed color and they quickly retreated. Soon after, a channel two palms wide appeared where they were just standing. But who could possibly fit through such a small passage

"What is this A secret passage"

Zhao Xingzhou crouched down and carefully observed the area around the entrance of the passage.

"It should be, there are footprints below."

Asheng lay on the edge and looked down for a long time, asking in confusion, "Where are the footprints I didn't see any."

"Are you two mistaken This entrance is so small, I can't even fit my head through it, let alone someone passing through."

"Could it be that everyone in Lühé Village knows the Bone-Sticking Skill"

Although Asheng's words weren't entirely accurate, they still gave Fang Jinshu a new perspective.

She looked at the narrow entrance and said with certainty.

“No, this is the passage from Lühe Village to this sand pit.”

"Just now I wasn't so sure, but after Ah Sheng said that, it came back to me."

I don't know if the people in Lvhe Village have shrunk bone skills, but there are a few children there who have never shown their faces.

Ah Sheng remembered it.

"Right! Didn't those kids run into the desert themselves because they were being naughty"

Zhao Xingzhou said coldly, "Even the plea for help is false, so what kind of child would run into the desert"

Fang Jinshu nodded. "It's just an excuse to lure us here."

This entrance, though adults cannot pass through, if a child of four or five years old, and somewhat thin, could pass through.

Upon hearing Fang Jinshui's words, the two looked at the cave entrance again and again. It did seem plausible that a thin child could squeeze in there!

"Well, wouldn't that mean finding this hole is useless We'd still be stuck."

Fang Jinxiu didn't know what she was thinking, suddenly stood up and walked around.

She carefully scrutinized the area she had just explored. This sandbox was man-made, complete with openings for children to enter and exit.

But what was the purpose of building this sandbox in such a desolate place

It's highly unlikely that someone would dig a large pit on the edge of a desert for no reason just to leave it there, especially one built so solidly.

"Jinxiu Jie, what have you discovered again"

Asheng hurriedly walked towards her, Zhao Xingzhou didn't follow. He looked at the cave entrance for a long time, then suddenly started digging the soil, trying to see if he could widen the entrance.

If there are no other ways out here, this is their only way to leave. They must find a way to widen it, no matter what.

Ah Sheng and Fang Jinxiu heard the noise and turned their heads at the same time. Ah Sheng felt embarrassed to just stand around doing nothing. He knew he wasn't as smart as Fang Jinxiu, so he might as well help Zhao Xingzhou dig the hole.

"Zhao Big Brother, I'm here to help you."

Fang Jinshi didn't stop them either. Digging a tunnel was time-consuming and laborious, but it wasn't a bad way to get out.

She continued to turn, feeling along the walls, confirming her suspicions. Then, in a narrow crack, her fingertips suddenly sensed a different temperature from the bottom of the pit.

There's a wind! This wall isn't solid after all.

"Come here, and hold off on digging that tunnel entrance for now."

Zhao Xingzhou heard Fang Jinshu's voice and patted the soil in his hands. He got up and walked towards her without hesitation.

Ah Sheng was digging with great enthusiasm. Watching the hole getting bigger and bigger, he felt a bit reluctant to give up.

Anyway, if Ms. Jinxiu has any findings that require Zhao Xingzhou's help, she should just ask him. It wouldn't be helpful for her to go herself. She might as well continue digging the tunnel.

"What did you find" Zhao Xingzhou asked seriously.

"Place your hand where I just found the gap," Fang Jinxiu instructed him, "Try it."

Zhao Xingzhou followed suit, then raised an eyebrow. "There's a draft."

"Yes, there's nothing behind this wall."

Zhao Xingzhou turned his head to look at Fang Jinxiu, "Step back."

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly retreated a large distance, Zhao Xingzhou nodded upon seeing this, and then turned back to gather his qi, striking a palm against the solid earthen wall.

He could indeed feel that there was still space inside the wall, but this punch, besides knocking down some dirt, didn't even crack a single opening. Zhao Xingzhou could only continue to rely on his luck, punching the wall again and again.

After about ten or so hits, Fang Jinxiu finally heard a loud boom from the wall where Zhao Xingzhou was hammering. A hole appeared in that section of the wall, and Fang Jinxiu was overjoyed.

This time, it's not just a small opening that kids can pass through, but a passage big enough for adults to walk through. Sure enough, there are other passages leading out.

Asheng, hearing the sound, quickly turned his head to look back.

"This, this place actually hid such a big entrance."

“Who on earth dug this ridiculous hole, with such a tiny opening My hand hurts just from trying to get in!”

When he walked over and saw Zhao Xingzhou's blood-stained back, the reproachful voice suddenly stopped.

"Zhao Gege, your hand."

Zhao Xingzhou didn't want Fang Jinshu to know his hand was like this. He casually rubbed it on his body and let it hang down, intentionally avoiding her gaze.

"It's nothing, just a few scratches. It doesn't matter." He also didn't let Zhao Xingzhou continue talking.

A-sheng received Zhao Xingzhou's eye signal and had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Fang Jinshi walked over without saying a word, grabbed Zhao Xingzhou's wrist through his clothes and lifted it up. A rare awkwardness appeared on Zhao Xingzhou's face.

"This is just a little scratch"

His ten knuckles were almost bare, with large chunks of flesh missing. Fang Jinshiu was quite helpless and quickly took out various medicines and hemostatic agents from her spatial storage. She first cleaned the dirt off Zhao Xingzhou's hands with water, disinfected them, and then applied medicine and bandaged them.

She did it very quickly, in just a few words. Zhao Xingzhou's terrifying wounds were healed.

“I know you don't want to trouble yourself, but have you considered that if these hands were broken, I would be even more of a trouble”

Zhao Xingzhou lowered his head and apologized, "I won't do it again next time."

If it were Zong Yu here today, this wall would probably be child's play for him. Let alone breaking its surface, he could shatter it with a single light palm strike.

Fang Jinshi didn't know what Zhao Xingzhou, with his expressionless face, was thinking. Since they had found a way out, getting out was the most important thing.

She beckoned to Ah Sheng, "Let's go."

Zhao Xingzhou hurried back and took the lead, cautiously exploring the way ahead.

Three people walked along the cave, inside it was pitch black. In the absence of light, a person in a dark environment will unconsciously amplify their sense of danger and unease many times over.

Because I don't know what surrounds the darkness, or who I might meet.

But Fang Jinshu could see everything clearly, and her extraordinary hearing even picked up some sounds that ordinary people couldn't hear.

"It's a sand scorpion."
