"Don't panic. This floor seems to have turned into mud. Let's find another exit."
Jiang Fan said slowly, looking at the ground before him, which had long since solidified.
"Shouldn't we find a way back from here?"
Zhou Niannian looked back at the locked door with disbelief.
It seemed Zhou Niannian didn't want to go forward, fearing danger. Jiang Fan, however, sighed helplessly.
"No need to look. This door is locked. If we want to leave from here now, we probably can't get out."
Yao walked towards the mud without hesitation.
"That's right. Jiang Fan is right. We can't go back now, so we can only move forward."
Hearing this, Zhou Niannian was dumbfounded. She never expected things to be so serious.
She had clearly thought that the passage before them could still be used.
But it wasn't until Jiang Fan and Yao slowly walked forward that she realized.
These two were not joking; they truly intended to move forward instead of trying to find a way to open the large door from there.
Seeing Zhou Niannian looking anxiously at Jiang Fan and Yao, Dai Xiaomei reluctantly followed behind Jiang Fan.
The group of terracotta warriors had all gone to chase Jiang Fan and his group, so that area was now empty.
And they already knew the exit to the next level.
Jiang Fan walked towards the next level of the passage without hesitation.
Just then, they noticed something resembling a mountain to the side. They hadn't explored it earlier, so they chose this path as they passed by.
"It seems this volcano has been extinct for a long time. The soldiers were probably covered by volcanic rock during an eruption."
"No wonder they looked so lifelike. It turns out they weren't made by anyone intentionally, but were killed by the volcano."
Seeing the volcano, Jiang Fan understood the whole story, and the others looked enlightened.
No wonder the terracotta warriors seemed so solid and not hollow.
It turned out their insides were actually real people, encased in volcanic rock.
And they had long since died. The reason they could move here was probably due to someone's doing.
They arrived at the place where they had turned back.
It was a seemingly ordinary rope bridge. If the wind hadn't been so strong, they might have gone further.
However, Jiang Fan saw that the rope bridge was very dangerous, and Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei behind him seemed a bit scared, which was why they chose to turn back.
But now, it seemed they had no choice but to move forward, as turning back yielded no other exit, and they couldn't open that large door.
"Are we really going to walk this way? This is too scary."
Zhou Niannian looked at the abyss, her legs trembling, and said to Jiang Fan beside her with a frightened expression.
Jiang Fan nodded slowly.
"It's okay. Yao and I will go up first. If anything happens, you guys stay put. If everything is fine, we'll leave together."
After saying this, Yao nodded slightly at Jiang Fan, and then the two of them stepped onto the rope bridge.
Although the rope bridge didn't look sturdy, when Jiang Fan gripped the two ropes, he realized they were likely made of extraordinary material.
Despite swaying precariously in the wind, it was still relatively firm.
As they walked on the rope bridge, the wind blew, causing their bodies to sway with it. The entire bridge bobbed up and down, looking extremely perilous.
"I feel like I can't do it again. What should I do, Dai Xiaomei?"
Seeing the terrifying rope bridge, Zhou Niannian's legs went weak with fear. She secretly walked to Dai Xiaomei's side and asked.
But Dai Xiaomei was struggling to cope herself. Seeing the rope bridge, her legs trembled uncontrollably.
"Wuwuwuwuwu." (I'm scared to go up now. What should we do?)
Hearing this, Zhou Niannian was utterly helpless.
The viewers in the live stream, upon seeing this, began to mock Zhou Niannian.
"Sister Zhou, you weren't like this just now."
"Exactly, it's hilarious. Sister Zhou was exceptionally brave earlier, so eager to explore."
"I thought Sister Zhou had undergone a complete transformation and was very courageous, but I didn't expect her to still be a coward."
"Hilarious! Sister Zhou is just one of those who enjoys watching trouble without fearing it. When there's no danger, she's arrogant and overbearing, but now that she's encountered danger, she's scared."
"But speaking of which, this rope bridge really looks terrifying."
The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but gasp at the sight of the rope bridge.
The rope bridge was empty on both sides, about a hundred meters long.
The only connection between the two cliffs was those four hanging tree trunks.
Fortunately, these were not dried-up trees, but large trees planted on the cliff edge.
Due to years of accumulation, the rope had etched marks around the tree trunks.
It was evident that the material of the ropes was not modern. It was likely an extraterrestrial metal found at an ancient impact crater.
Its toughness amazed everyone present. If it were used for knives, it would be excellent material.
However, it wasn't enough to directly support the bridge, hence its extreme sway.
Looking at the swaying rope bridge, not only Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei, but even Jiang Fan and Yao felt a sense of pressure.
The rope bridge was located in a ravine between two cliffs.
When the wind blew, it hit the rope bridge directly like a hammer.
If not for the extreme hardness of these two metal ropes, Jiang Fan and Yao on the bridge would have surely fallen.
But for now, at least, this rope bridge was absolutely safe.
After reaching the other side, Jiang Fan and Yao waved to Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei behind them.
"Come over. It's fine here. It won't break if you step on it."
Zhou Niannian finally heard Jiang Fan's words.
