"It's okay," Yuan Keyi told the expert team. "Just do your best. Even if she can't recover, I can make sure she has enough to eat and wear and be taken care of by professional caregivers for the rest of her life."

This is Yuan Keyi's confidence. As she promotes her internal skills, lightness skills, and swordsmanship, her practice of charging very little tuition has also become widely known. She believes that even if she dies in the dungeon one day, Yuan Keyi will be well taken care of by the official authorities and the Chu family.

Of course, she won't die easily; at least she'll die later than Yuan Keying and Diandian.

Well, Dian Dian's situation is a bit special. He himself said that his type of weird lifespan is not long, but he himself is not sure exactly how long. If he can live for hundreds of years, Yuan Keyi will not be able to accompany him.

After spending a month with Yuan Keying and making sure she had adapted to her caregiver, Yuan Keying then started entering the dungeon. After all, she couldn't bear to keep Dian Dian, a strange creature, locked in the ghost card for so long.

Five years later

Just as they arrived at the place where the two realms met, something unexpected happened.

"A new copy?"

"No, it's showing a tendency to detach from the junction line."

The scene was in complete chaos. They didn't understand why the strange world had appeared, nor what was blocking the junction between the two worlds. Now that the junction between the two worlds was showing signs of loosening, they naturally panicked.

Yuan Keyi flew forward and kicked the bulging bulge. The bulge seemed stunned by the kick, stopping its bulging, but it sucked the person who kicked it in.

The panicked crowd outside paused for a moment, and half an hour later, the large bag began to slowly bulge out again.

One of the ability users gritted his teeth and did the same thing, leaping forward and kicking, only to be sucked in as well, the bulge remaining there for half an hour.

People seemed to understand something, and sadness spread through the crowd, but the queue kept getting longer as many people started making phone calls to their relatives and friends to make their final arrangements.

Chu Yuan was also on the phone: "Mom, retreat with the key personnel. Be sure to take that little girl Keying with you. Her sister was the first one to be sucked in."

After hearing what was said on the other end, Chu Yuan smiled and hung up the phone.

In reality, the situation inside the instance wasn't as tragic as people outside imagined. When Yuan Keyi kicked it, there weren't many grand ideas like sacrificing for humanity. She was the first to kick it; she simply wanted to see if she could kick it back.

It was pitch black inside, the kind of black where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. I could sense a faint presence coming out of the talisman.

"Wow, it's so dark."

"This is a new addition, and it poses a significant threat, with the risk of being separated from the handover line," Yuan Keyi explained simply.

"What should we do then?"

"I don't know, let's take a look first." Yuan Keyi took out a headlamp from her spatial storage and put it on.

Within the range of light, there was nothing; the desolation was chilling. Walking was slow, as if the air density was very high, yet it didn't affect breathing.

Half an hour later, the second person with the ability came in, saw a light in the distance, and shouted.

The two managed to gather together and learn about the situation outside.

"So that means someone else will be coming in later?"

"Definitely."

"Then let's wait a bit."

The sixth person to enter was Chu Yuan. After a brief discussion, the group decided to leave one person behind while the other five walked forward.

Two days have passed, and several five-person teams have already been active in the dungeon. The dungeon remains as black as ink, unchanged. Such an environment can make people tense. The ability users who enter are all battle-hardened and mentally resilient, but in just two days, some people have already started to become irritable.

There's a steady stream of ability users coming in from outside, so this big bag is probably still on the move.

"This won't do. We can't just bring in all the ability users from outside, can we?" Chu Yuan said, frowning and somewhat annoyed.

Yuan Keyi took out a box of mints and gave one to each of the other four people: "Calm down!"

The refreshing taste of the mint spread in my mouth, and my mind seemed to become a little more alert.

"There's something wrong here. Even if the environment is oppressive, I shouldn't lose control of my emotions in such a short time," Chu Yuan analyzed calmly.

"Hmm." Yuan Keyi herself was a little annoyed; of course, she knew there was a problem.

"We have to find a way, otherwise we humans might lose control and start killing each other," Chu Yuan said, pressing his forehead.

"What do you think would happen if I kept shooting in one direction with the Light Bow?" Yuan Keyi was a little hesitant, afraid that if she shot through it, the dark gas would spread out.

"There are risks," Chu Yuan said truthfully.

Another twenty hours passed, and Yuan Keyi could no longer control her irritability. She stopped talking, which was her habit—to avoid speaking when she was emotional, so as not to say things she didn't mean.

Suddenly, Dian Dian spoke up: "We can't go any further, it's dangerous."

"What kind of danger?" Yuan Keyi's heart stirred. In such a stagnant environment, danger meant opportunity.

"It feels like I'm going to die." Dian Dian unconsciously clung to Yuan Keyi; he was afraid.

Yuan Keyi and Chu Yuan, who was also wearing a headlamp, exchanged a glance and Yuan Keyi asked, "Will your family take care of my sister?"

"Yes, I called my mother before I came in, and she will take Keying back to a safe area."

"Let's go." She had a ruthless streak; since they couldn't get out, she would find a way to kill the other party, even if it meant mutual destruction.

Dian Dian was constantly afraid, a fear suppressed by his bloodline, and Yuan Keyi gave him his ghost card.

"Go find someone you like, tell them about the situation here, and give them the divination cards."

"Yi, Yi Yi, don't you want me anymore?"

"No, it's just that there's no need to make pointless sacrifices. You can't help at all here. Go find other humans and tell them about the situation here. If we're outmatched, let them take over."

"I'm not going, I'm going with you."

"Sweetie, we need you to help us find someone to come and assist us."

"Then you take the ghost card, I'll be back in a bit." Dian Dian refused to take the ghost card and turned to disappear from the spot.

Yuan Keyi felt somewhat helpless and hung the talisman back around her neck. Of the people present, she didn't know the other three well, nor did she know their character, so she couldn't entrust them to them. Chu Yuan, however, would not leave.

"Send someone to find some ability users. I'll go scout ahead first. You wait here." Chu Yuan said, the first sentence addressed to the other three, and the last sentence to Yuan Keyi.

"Okay, if things don't look good, we'll retreat. There's always a way." Yuan Keyi nodded, standing still with the Light Bow in her hand.

One of the three, an agile individual, turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Chu Yuan walked slowly, the light from his headlamp weak but firm. He walked step by step, braving the sticky and dangerous aura, his steps very steady.
