Inside The Cave

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Slowly a small area opens. Mu Yang looks at it shockingly.

"We are close! Come inside fast. It's going to close very soon.", Mu Yang says.

Mu Yang runs while holding Xin Ye's hand. They both go inside the small area. It's completely dark there.

Xin Ye opens her torch and looks around. The place is very clean. The lanterns on the walls starts burning itself. Xin Ye gasps after seeing the miracle in front of her eyes.

"Huh! I... it's unbelievable!", Xin Ye says.

The floor is flat so there will not be any problem in walking from there.

"This place...!", Mu Yang says and widens his eyes in shock.

"We should move fast!", Xin Ye says and takes a step.

Suddenly many arrows headed towards them. Xin Ye hides her face in Mu Yang's shoulder. She thought they both will die today with these arrows.

After a while Xin Ye doesn't feel anything on herself. She takes her head out from Mu Yang's shoulder and looks around. All the arrows are falling on the ground.

"H... How it happened?", Xin Ye asks. Her lips are shivering due to panic.

Mu Yang looks around. He holds Xin Ye's hand and then starts walking. Xin Ye pulls him and doesn't let him walk.

"No... It can be dangerous.", Xin Ye says because she has panicked a lot. She is afraid of death and also doesn't want to lose her friend.

"Nothing will happen! I am with you.", Mu Yang says.

"No..", Xin Ye says and her fill up with tears. She is even afraid of taking one more step.

"Okay! You stay here. I will go and find Chronofang.", Mu Yang says.

"No! Don't go. I don't want to lose you. I can't let you keep your life in danger.", Xin Ye says.

Mu Yang looks at her with a soft gaze. He looks at her hand by which she is holding Mu Yang's hand and isn't letting him go.

"What is our mission! Don't forget. I am with you. Nothing will happen. Trust me! You will not die!", Mu Yang says.

Xin Ye shakes her head. Mu Yang pulls her.

"See! The path is clear and we have to walk in it. I am with you so nothing will happen to both of us. When we will return then these attacks will not happen!", Mu Yang says and tries to control her.

Xin Ye thinks and after a while she nods her head. She takes a deep breath and now she is ready to do a daring task.

"Good!", Mu Yang says.

Xin Ye and Mu Yang walk together. After fifty meters the straight path ends and there is a think rock path which is hundred meters long. Both sides of the rock path have cliffs. If anyone will fall then they won't be able to return back.

The lanterns are burning in this side and it's causing the path visible. But the darker side of cliff is still unseen from the top. Xin Ye doesn't know the height of the cliff.

"You walk first. I will walk behind you.", Mu Yang says.

"B..but...", Xin Ye says.

"Trust me!", Mu Yang says.

Xin Ye nods her hand and puts her first step in the think path of rock path. Then she takes another step. She tries to maintain the balance. She is feeling like she is walking on a rope.

Mu Yang walks behind her. They both take steps slowly. Suddenly the lanterns turn off and the place fills up with darkness. It's getting difficult for Xin Ye to see the path. She turns on her torch put it stops working. She gets scared and screams.

"Aaaaaaa! Yang! It's dark! I can't see anything! My torch has stopped working.", Xin Ye screams in shock.

Mu Yang carries Xin Ye in her arms while making balance on the path.

"We both will fall.", Xin Ye says.

Mu Yang doesn't reply and he walks in that path in the darkness. Xin Ye tightly grabs Mu Yang's shirt and every second she remembers her happy moments. She doesn't know what will happen next.

Mu Yang crosses the path and comes to the plain and comfortable surface. The lanterns turn on. Xin Ye opens her tightly closed eyes when she feels that there is light in the cave.

Xin Ye looks around and sees that Mu Yang has crossed the path. They both are safe. Mu Yang put her down.

"How did you see in the darkness?", Xin Ye asks.

"I did it..", Mu Yang says. He looks around and thinks where to go now.

Xin Ye checks her torch and now it's working well. She looks at it confusingly.

"Focus!", Mu Yang says.

Xin Ye stop looking at her torch and focuses on Mu Yang.

"There are three paths and we have to choose only one. If we will chose the wrong one then beasts are there to kill us.", Mu Yang says.

Xin Ye gets goosebumps in her all over body. She feels that something is moving in her feet. She jumps in fear and hops on My Yang's back.

"Th... there's something!", Xin Ye says.

Mu Yang looks down and sees a worm which.

"Get down!", Mu Yang says.

Xin Ye gets down from Mu Yang's back and looks at the worm. It has spikes and eyes are red.

"Don't touch it. If it will bite you then you will die within a second. These worms belong to the era of Chao Xiang! They are still alive! Unbelievable. I thought they won't exist in future.", Mu Yang says.

The worm moves towards Xin Ye again but Mu Yang stares at it. The worm changes its direction and starts going in third path.

"Come!", Mu Yang says.

"Where?", Xin Ye asks.

Mu Yang holds her arm and starts taking her with himself.

"Wait! How do you know we have to go there. What if we will die?", Xin Ye asks.

"Nothing will happen to us.", Mu Yang says.

"It's so risky and I am afraid. I am still unmarried! I want to marry and settle in my life. What will happen if I will die? How I will fulfill all my wishes? I want to earn fame by exploring lost places.", Xin Ye says.

Mu Yang shakes his head and starts walking after leaving Xin Ye's arm.
