Chapter 415 is finished. I've become a burden too.
Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi woke up four hours later.
During this time, Wu Xie, who went to look for his third uncle, also disappeared without a trace, leaving only Aning sitting alone by the fire.
After Cheng Feng finally woke up, Ah Ning, who had been tormented for a long time, quickly came to his side.
"You finally woke up!"
Ah Ning looked slightly excited, as if her long-suppressed emotions had finally found an outlet.
Cheng Feng wasn't surprised by this; it was already quite impressive that she could remain calm for so long in the face of such a change.
"I'll take you out of this forest in a bit, so you can go back and get a good night's sleep."
Cheng Feng didn't even bring the silent one along, so how could he possibly bring this burden along?
The bear next to him tried his best to minimize his presence, so as not to be noticed at this moment, otherwise the trouble of giving him away would most likely fall on his shoulders.
Upon hearing this, Ah Ning's eyes darkened slightly, and she guessed that Cheng Feng probably wouldn't take her with him.
But even Wu Xie, who was even more useless than her, continued on. How could she be willing to give up at the very last moment?
"Thank you, Cheng Feng, but I don't want to give up. Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you."
Ah Ning firmly rejected Cheng Feng's suggestion.
Cheng Feng didn't say anything more about this, reiterating that everyone has to pay the price for their choices.
"Blind man, stop playing the ostrich, it's time for us to get going!"
After calling out to the blind man, Cheng Feng strode decisively toward the ancient building in the distance.
The blind man jogged to catch up with Cheng Feng, and gave A Ning a thumbs up as he passed by.
Putting everything else aside, he admired her stubborn personality, since not many people would have the courage to continue after experiencing all that.
Ah Ning silently followed behind the two, and at this moment, only the pistol at her waist could give her some courage to face the unknown.
After returning to the building where the giant alchemy furnace was located, Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi climbed back up the edge to the altar below.
Ah Ning was moving slower, carefully climbing down from above.
When Cheng Feng and his companion reached the bottom, they looked around but didn't see a single person.
Before long, the blind man noticed something and came to a slightly wider crack where a peculiar mark had been left on the wall.
"Wu Sansheng and his group must have entered from here."
Cheng Feng nodded; in this situation, all he could do was wish them good luck.
"We should get going."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng walked to a narrow crack in the ground.
The gap was only three palms wide; even a strong adult couldn't squeeze through it.
Ah Ning also descended to the altar and was looking around.
Hei Xiazi glanced at A Ning and whispered to Cheng Feng:
"Are you really just going to ignore her?"
"How do you manage her? Why don't you teach her bone-shrinking kung fu?"
Black Bear looked at the narrow gap under his feet, then said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Actually, I think the path Wu Sansheng and his group took was pretty good; at least it was wide enough."
Cheng Feng's eyes widened, and he said incredulously:
"Don't tell me you can't get through here!"
"No, it's just that I don't know how long this passage is. My bone-shrinking skills are not good enough, and it's easy to cause bone damage if I stay here for too long."
Hei Xiazi explained seriously.
Cheng Feng's expression calmed down a bit; what Hei Xiazi said was true.
The essence of bone-shrinking technique is to misalign one's own bones, resulting in changes in body shape.
Maintaining this state for an extended period of time can indeed cause irreversible damage to the bones of ordinary people.
"Hey, blind man, do me a favor and take this girl back upstairs, then help Ah Xiang with her daily tasks."
After a moment's thought, Cheng Feng decided to leave on his own. His goal was to find out about the Thirty-Three Non-Human Realms and Lu.
The plan to cure the blind man's eyes was destined to fail, so there was no need to take the risk with Cheng Feng.
Ah Ning was completely bewildered; how did she end up in this?
"Boss, do you have to be so heartless? How can you bear to abandon your most loyal employee?!"
The blind man clutched his chest, looking utterly heartbroken.
"Go up and wait for me. It might take days and nights to reach the bottom down here. Your body can't take it."
Before the blind man could reply, Cheng Feng's bones cracked and popped, and a few seconds later, he suddenly shrank considerably.
Before Hei Xiazi and A Ning could get a good look, Cheng Feng vanished into the narrow crevice beneath their feet.
"Damn it, the boss really ran away!"
Black Bear slapped his forehead in frustration. He regretted his act of kindness; now he too had been categorized as a burden.
Although he was indeed a burden to Cheng Feng, his blind master had been pretending well, but now he's finally been exposed.
"Mr. Qi, I have a suggestion for you, would you like to hear it?"
Aning then approached Hei Xiazi and tentatively began to speak.
Hei Xiazi looked up at A Ning and responded with a hint of interest.
The two then plotted for a long time before walking together into the marked crack.
A few minutes after the two entered the crevice, Cheng Feng's small figure crawled out of it and straightened his clothes, which were disheveled due to his shrunken size.
"Those who dig up graves are all incredibly curious. Oh well, having my Dapu Ghost Worm is a kind of alternative positioning system. We'll run into them sooner or later."
Shaking his head and sighing, Cheng Feng then entered the crevice again.
Because of the scorching heat from Cheng Feng's undying dragon fire, Lu completely abandoned the tentacle responsible for hunting.
However, some residual mucus can still be seen around the crack.
Cheng Feng crawled down the viscous liquid. There was no way he could stand up; the crack was too narrow, and even with his bone-shrinking technique, he could not stand up.
He climbed for two whole days without getting up, and by the third day, even someone of his size would find it difficult to traverse the path guided by the mucus.
At this point, Cheng Feng had no choice but to find another way out.
He looked around and realized he was at a fork in the road. Adjacent to the path where the slime continued was another, slightly wider crack.
It also leads downwards, and is barely wide enough for a normal adult to pass through.
Without hesitation, Cheng Feng crawled into the wide crevice and continued to crawl forward.
Cheng Feng moved very fast, scurrying through the cracks in the rocks like a big black rat.
Another four hours passed before a culvert appeared ahead. Upon reaching it, Cheng Feng finally stood up straight.
Of course, he still maintained the state of bone shrinking.
Even if you were to return to your normal body size, this place would still feel very cramped.
Surprisingly, deep within the rock crevice, there were man-made murals.
The mural is carved on a relatively flat stone wall of the culvert.
Cheng Feng walked closer and examined the mural. The style of the mural was simple and ancient, and it should have been carved around the late Stone Age.
A bizarre story is depicted through a series of abstract little figures.
