When Chu Xueying heard this, her expression finally showed caution, and she no longer had the impatience she had before. Of course she knew very well that since Cui Benshan's mark had been discovered, it meant that Cui Benshan had indeed encountered an accident in the ruins. If they enter the passage in the wall, what awaits them is likely to be the same fate as Cui Benshan. But even so, Chu Xueying's desire to enter the passage has not diminished by half.

Finding traces of Cui Benshan was one of Chu Xueying’s obsessions when entering the ruins. No matter what, she wants to see the other person one last time, no matter whether the other person is alive or dead. Only in this way can Sakura know the meaning of the rest of her life!

No matter what the next danger is, Chu Xueying has made up her mind and must enter it.

However, Chu Xueying couldn't make fun of other people's lives. After thinking again and again, she asked in a deep voice: "So, what is your plan?"

When she asked this question, Chu Xueying had already made up her mind that when others made the decision to choose a safe path forward, she would part ways with them.

"Of course... the passage into the wall!" Jiang Cheng suddenly said.

The other two people were very surprised when they heard this.

In fact, Xu Dingjia, like Chu Xueying, had a very important reason for entering the ruins, which was to find the whereabouts of his senior brother. After wandering around Yilin City for so long, this has become his obsession. Now Cui Benshan's only clue has been presented in front of him. If he gives up, Xu Dingjia will always live in self-blame. Even though he had guessed that Cui Benshan had most likely died in the ruins, Xu Dingjia's obsession would never go away unless he confirmed it himself. From a certain perspective, this obsession has become the inner demon of Xu Dingjia, a cultivator. If this obsession is not eliminated, Xu Dingjia will always be affected by this inner demon, and there will be no possibility of further improvement in his future practice.

However, like Chu Xueying, Xu Dingjia was unwilling to drag others into danger. After hearing Chu Xueying's previous question, Xu Dingjia couldn't answer it at all. However, he did not expect that Jiang Cheng would give an answer that was beyond his expectation. It was obvious that just a few minutes ago, Jiang Cheng had tried to prevent himself from entering the passage in the wall.

Xu Dingjia couldn't suppress his doubts and asked, "What did you just say?"

Jiang Cheng smiled faintly and said: "Don't you want to enter the passage on the wall? Although the road ahead is dangerous, it is the only clue related to Cui Benshan. The reason why I entered the ruins is entirely to help you. And the purpose of your trip is Isn't an important purpose to confirm the whereabouts of Cui Benshan? If you give up this clue because of a little danger, it's not like the two of you."

"But, as you just said, this will be very dangerous!" Chu Xueying said to Jiang Cheng cautiously, "It is very likely that we will all die in it!"

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly and said with a relieved expression: "If I die with you, it might be a good choice."

Xu Dingjia couldn't help but smile with relief when he heard Jiang Cheng's answer.

Chu Xueying finally looked squarely at Jiang Cheng, with a look of disbelief on her face, and said slowly: "You... have really changed!"

Jiang Cheng replied seriously: "The past me has passed, and the present me will never let the people around me down again!"

A rare smile finally appeared on Chu Xueying's face, which was as cold as ice for thousands of years, and she made a serious promise to Jiang Cheng: "If we can leave the ruins alive next, then I will let Xue meet you. I believe that I have witnessed you Snow will forgive you for these changes."

"Are you telling the truth?" Jiang Cheng was overjoyed and couldn't help but confirm with Ying again.

Sakura nodded, but there was a hint of imperceptible disappointment between her brows.

"Since we have decided like this, let's set off!" Jiang Cheng felt refreshed at this time, and he would not be afraid at all even if the ancient god's messenger appeared again.

"Wait a minute." Xu Dingjia became cautious at this time and said: "Since we know that we will face danger next, we absolutely cannot move forward so recklessly. Now the top priority is that we must be fully prepared! Only in this way can we have the opportunity to deal with unpredictable situations. Survive danger.”

Of course Jiang Cheng knew that Xu Dingjia's words made sense, so he suppressed his impulse and asked, "If this is the case, what should we do?"

Xu Dingjia untied his backpack, unzipped it and placed it on the ground. He smiled at the two of them and said, "Remember how long it has been since we last had a meal!"

Xu Dingjia's words seemed to activate the hunger switch on the other two people. Jiang Cheng and Chu Xueying felt their stomachs were empty almost at the same time, followed by a feeling of thirst. Only then did they recall that they had not stopped to rest since entering the ruins until now.

Xu Dingjia looked at the time and said: "It's almost lunch time now! What you need to do most now is not to immediately enter the passage to take risks, but to adjust yourself to the best condition!"

No one questioned Xu Dingjia's suggestion. Everyone sat on the floor, took the food handed over by Xu Dingjia, and finally started today's main meal. Perhaps it was because the previous journey had consumed too much energy, so the compressed biscuits that usually felt a little disgusting tasted very sweet now.

About half an hour has passed. Everyone has eaten and rested, and their physical strength has returned to their best condition.

The three people who were fully prepared finally walked into the passage on the wall.

Xu Dingjia has experience in dealing with various strange situations, so he is at the forefront. Jiang Cheng followed closely and entered the wall passage. His vision blurred for a moment. When he regained his vision, Jiang Cheng felt his eyes darken and realized that he had entered another place that he didn't know. At the first moment, he whispered Xu Dingjia's name to confirm the other party's location.

Hearing Xu Dingjia's low response, Jiang Cheng looked for his voice and didn't feel relieved until he saw the figure crouching under a big rock.

Footsteps sounded behind him. Jiang Cheng looked over warily, only to find that it was Chu Xueying. The location where the other party appeared was different from his own. It was actually not far behind him. Jiang Cheng guessed that this space passage seemed to be in a state of motion, otherwise there would not be so much deviation in their position here. Jiang Cheng waited until Chu Xueying approached, and the two of them walked together towards the black boulder where Xu Dingjia was hiding.

"Did you notice anything strange?" Jiang Cheng asked Xu Dingjia, who was the first to enter the passage.

Xu Dingjia shook his head, but said: "The position you appear in seems to indicate that this passage is in motion."

This guess was exactly the same as Jiang Cheng's. He couldn't help but said worriedly: "You sensed the existence of the mark half an hour ago. Can you still feel the existence of the mark now?"
