Everyone's clothes were soaked in sweat. They bit their lips and forgot to breathe. Even their heartbeats had stopped.

Finally, the light in front of him changed, and a deep blue sea appeared in front of him.

"I've escaped. I've finally escaped. " The people clenched their fists tightly, and tears flowed out of their eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally let out a hoarse roar. It sounded like they were venting their anger, but it also sounded like they were cheering.

Only then did the others come to their senses. With tears in their eyes, they let out earth-shaking cheers.

Uncle Ling looked at the crowd in relief. He could not hold on any longer. He let out a long breath and fainted.
