“I’ll be waiting for you in front, stop calling.”
Wen Yu’s low voice echoed, causing Sun Aotian to quiet down.
After a minute, Sun Aotian, having barely adapted to the underground environment, said in surprise, “Brother Wen Yu, this place is really big!”
“Yeah, this must be connected to an old air raid shelter.”
There are many air raid shelters in the northeast region, and there are numerous shelters and caves dug out by humans in the mountains near Chaihe Town.
“Let’s go, let’s explore further inside.”
The area where Wen Yu and Sun Aotian were located was too small for Wen Yu to summon his one-eyed creature.
Without the one-eyed creature, Wen Yu couldn't track the aura below. The only option now was to move cautiously step by step!
Following the tunnel, the two moved forward continuously.
The ground environment was very dry, and there were no bodies or bloodstains in sight, indicating that no battles had occurred underground!
As Wen Yu and Sun Aotian walked further, a faint light suddenly appeared before them.
“An exit!”
Seeing the light, Sun Aotian yelled excitedly.
Wen Yu calculated the distance carefully; this tunnel was not short, at least a few thousand meters long. If he calculated the distance and direction, the exit was located at...
Before Wen Yu could finish calculating, the light at the exit was blocked by a huge shadow!
A violent roar echoed, causing Sun Aotian behind him to turn pale with fear, but Wen Yu stood still without any movement!
“Just as I thought!”
“What do you mean?”
Sun Aotian looked at the terrifying figure at the entrance, shaking as he spoke, but soon he realized!
That creature at the entrance couldn’t get in!
The tunnel itself was narrow, and naturally, the exit wasn’t large either, while the massive black bear at the end couldn’t squeeze through!
“The exit is in the mountains. From the black bear's behavior, it knows there’s food in this tunnel, which is why it’s blocking the entrance. This means the people inside might not have had the chance to escape yet!”
“Let’s look for another place!”
Wen Yu ignored the big bear at the exit and directly turned in another direction, heading toward the other end of the tunnel.
“Brother Wen Yu? Don’t we need to deal with that black bear?”
Sun Aotian asked doubtfully.
Wen Yu waved his hand, “No need, that guy’s strength is considerable, and fighting him would be a stalemate. It’s better to let him stay outside quietly!”
The best way to gain points was to kill a lot of cannon fodder and slightly weaker opponents. Fighting strong foes had too many unforeseen factors, and an accident could lead to death!
Wen Yu would never initiate an evenly matched battle without absolute confidence!
Upon hearing Wen Yu’s explanation, Sun Aotian nodded in understanding.
They continued walking down another section of the tunnel, and soon the air began to grow murky. A foul, rotting smell constantly stimulated their sense of smell, almost making them gag.
“What is that smell? It’s really awful!”
Sun Aotian pinched his nose, his face showing a very unpleasant expression.
Wen Yu furrowed his brow; his physical conditioning, which was twice that of Sun Ruixing, allowed him to identify the source of the smell.
“Yeah, it’s the smell of human waste, and...”
“Up ahead, something terrible might have happened. Just a reminder, if your mental fortitude isn’t strong enough, it’s better to stay here!”
Wen Yu warned Sun Aotian.
That statement sparked Sun Aotian’s pride: “I’m not a child anymore, what could scare me?”
Before Wen Yu could say anything else, Sun Aotian strode forward.
“Still too young!”
Wen Yu smirked, remaining rooted in place.
Not even 30 seconds later, hurried footsteps echoed, and Sun Aotian, covering his mouth, rushed out from the front and squatted down, vomiting loudly.
“See? I told you, the situation ahead isn’t good.”
Hearing Wen Yu’s teasing, Sun Aotian widened his eyes, angrily staring at Wen Yu as he roared, “What do you know? What do you know? Those beasts...”
