Beside the water stood a tall rocky formation that looked like a broken pillar, as if it had once supported the great ceiling of this underground world before collapsing partway through.
As they drew closer, Shiao Yi noticed a small herd of deer drinking from the lake.
They looked almost like ordinary deer from the surface except their bodies were larger and their antlers were oddly shaped.
Perhaps they were in the process of becoming magical beasts. Still, seeing them here, even with fawns among them, gave off a sense of wild untamed life that hadn't been lost even in this world.
It had been a long time since either of them had eaten.
Hunger gnawed at Shiao Yi's stomach.
They also needed clothing and something to cover themselves with.
He lifted two of his throwing knives into the air with telekinesis and silently aimed at one of the adult deer.
The knives flew forward soundlessly and struck true, one piercing the throat, the other sinking deep into the heart.
