However.

Just as the stone coffin vanished in an instant, the ground below them began to quake violently. Fissures appeared unceasingly, and a dangerous atmosphere enveloped the entire space, as if the apocalypse had descended. This spawned a sense of panic from the depths of their hearts, and their faces changed color dramatically.

"Run!"

Su Ran where dared to stay put, exerting all his strength, he madly fled through the air to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yet, the speed at which the ground collapsed far exceeded Su Ran’s imagination. A vast black hole revealed itself, and a fierce suction force suddenly arose. Su Ran couldn’t resist at all and was sucked directly into the black hole.

"Overturning Water!"

The two women cried out in unison, their complexions turning deathly pale.

"Swoosh."

Overly concerned for Su Ran’s safety, Lin Yuqing, without a second thought, jumped directly toward the black hole. Driven by the suction, she quickly disappeared from sight, leaving Yu Jing stunned in place.

"This silly girl, is it necessary to be so desperate? It’s not like she can’t be revived if she dies. She’s really making a mountain out of a molehill," Yu Jing muttered to herself, resentfully, as she was now the only one left. But then a realization dawned on her, and her face turned a shade unnatural, displaying an angry demeanor, "Good for you, little sister, claiming you had no interest in Overturning Water, yet this resolve to join him in death is something not just anyone can match. Wait until we log off, I’ll deal with you!"

Yu Jing grumbled annoyedly, steeled herself, and also leapt into the black hole. Anyway, she had had enough of staying there, so a free trip back to the city seemed pretty good. And she had a bit of a personal agenda; when it came to dealing with "Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained," it was a matter that could affect her for life, and she wouldn’t be outdone by her younger sister.

"Whoosh!"

The light dissipated, and in a closed-off space, Su Ran fell clumsily from midair, crashing to the ground, his face scraping half a meter across the ground. Thankfully he wore a mask, for who would he complain to if his face were ruined?

"Where is this?"

Su Ran had thought that falling into the trap would mean certain death, yet against all odds, he had stumbled into a hidden space, which was nothing short of dumb luck!

As Su Ran was surveying his surroundings, Yu Jing and her sister were successively sucked into the place. The system had no sympathy for them, and the two were harshly thrown to the ground, eliciting two cries of pain.

"Are you two silly, jumping down here as well?"

Su Ran put a grave grass in his mouth to steady his nerves, then asked unclearly, "What if it was a death trap? Wouldn’t that be seeking death?"

"We were just too anxious; there wasn’t time to think. Luckily, it’s not as bad as we imagined," Lin Yuqing got up from the ground, awkwardly sticking out her tongue and then began using the Healing Technique on her sister.

As for Yu Jing, she gave Lin Yuqing a deep look, then glanced at Su Ran, wanting to say something but held it back; her expression, however, was quite complicated.

"Let’s go, since we’ve ended up in this mysterious space, we can’t give up easily. Let’s see if there’s any useful information here," Su Ran was still preoccupied with that painting; if he didn’t get an answer here, he wouldn’t be able to sleep that night.

"Overturning Water, before we rush to do anything else, tell us, where did that stone coffin go?"

Yu Jing walked up to Su Ran, voicing the doubt in her heart.

"Don’t worry, I’ve stored the coffin away. We’ll take it out once we reach a safe place. If we open it here, I feel something unexpected might occur. We should be careful," Su Ran had no intention of keeping secrets and naturally shared the matter with Yu Jing.

"Your pack is certainly large enough,"

Drizzle looked at Su Ran in surprise, and her confusion instantly disappeared.

"Overturning Water, quick, look! Is that a teleportation array to our front left?"

Lin Yuqing pointed at the suspicious spot ahead, as if she had discovered a new continent, and shouted excitedly.

"A teleportation array?"

Su Ran turned his head to look, and only then did he see the faintly glowing area in the distance, feeling even more certain that it was indeed a working teleportation array.

"Hey, our luck isn’t bad at all. Turned out this is the exit; we were scared for nothing!"

With the teleportation array, there was no need to worry about how to get out; Su Ran finally felt completely at ease.

Just now, he had been worried about being sucked into this space and how to overcome the terrifying suction to escape from here. Now, it seemed that a single teleportation array had easily resolved all these concerns. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Let’s go, let’s get out of here first."

Drizzle had no desire to linger here any longer; her mind was already on inspecting the goods from the coffin, eager to leave this place immediately.

"Don’t rush, I have a feeling that something here isn’t right, and there might be danger waiting for us."

Su Ran observed the surroundings cautiously, his expression thoughtful.

"You, you’re always too careful, worrying and pondering over everything excessively. Aren’t you tired?"

Drizzle gave Su Ran a disdainful look. To prove her point, she nonchalantly approached the array without caring about her surroundings. When she reached the teleportation array, she turned around, smiled at Su Ran with ease, and spread her hands in front of her chest, saying, "See, I told you there’s no problem here. Do you believe it now? Put away those complex thoughts of yours and come over."

"Maybe I’m just being paranoid."

Su Ran shook his head helplessly, tossing out his mixed thoughts, and then he and Lin Yuqing headed towards the teleportation array.

"Finally, we can leave this place~!"

Drizzle took a long breath, her words filled with relief. Even before Su Ran and the others could approach, she hurriedly stepped onto the teleportation array.

However.

At that moment, something unexpected occurred.

"Crack!"

The teleportation array transformed into a huge mouth that swallowed Drizzle whole. The sound of teeth chewing sent shivers down Su Ran and the other’s spines, raising goosebumps all over their bodies.

Drizzle didn’t even have a chance to cry for help before she was devoured by the creature.

Su Ran distinctly saw the moment before Drizzle was devoured; her pale, horrified face made him involuntarily moved.

"Big sister!"

Lin Yuqing let out a heart-wrenching scream, and infinite sadness filled her eyes. She couldn’t believe that the sister who was just joking around had been swallowed by a monster right before her eyes. This was her first experience of the loss of a loved one, and it was naturally a bit too much for her to accept.

Su Ran understood that the game of Divine Demons’ Strife was made too realistically, always making people forget whether this was a game or reality.

"Yu Jing, don’t be sad. Even if your sister dies, she can still be resurrected. There’s nothing to be so upset about."

Seeing Lin Yuqing as if she had just gone through a life-and-death separation, Su Ran was speechless. What was this all about? Death in a game wasn’t such a big deal. He didn’t hesitate at all and immediately commanded the shield skeletons to surround the cunning and treacherous monster in front of him. Now was the best opportunity to attack it while it still hadn’t fully formed!
