Chapter 33 Skeleton

As Li Yong hugged her in happiness, their excitement caused them to accidentally hit the wall and both fell against it. Seeing Li Yong's embrace, Lu Wei reciprocated with a smile. "Right now, Lu Wei, I'm lost for words. My happiness knows no bounds," Li Yong beamed, his smile wide. However, their collision caused the wall to start cracking.

Upon hearing the cracking noise, they both turned their attention to the wall. They noticed a small hole forming. "Li Yong, look, there's a gap in the wall. Can you see if there's a way through? It might lead us to safety and help us escape from those chasing us," Lu Wei suggested, realizing that this opening could be their chance to leave this realm and stay alive.

Upon hearing Lu Wei's suggestion, Li Yong nodded and approached the wall. He assessed its weakened state, placing his hand on it and giving it a gentle push.

As a result, the wall began to collapse, revealing a tunnel that extended inward. Illuminated by the light pouring in from within, Li Yong realized that this light indicated an exit on the other side of the tunnel.

Understanding that the presence of light implied an exit at the end of the tunnel, Li Yong deduced that there must be another opening on the opposite side through which the tunnel would lead out.

"Lu Wei, we should explore the tunnel and see if we can find an exit. However, we need to be cautious. We don't know if there's any danger," Li Yong suggested, looking at her and holding her hand.

As he held her hand, Lu Wei's face turned red. "Well, now that you've asked me to marry you, I suppose I can't object to you holding my hand," he teased with a bright smile.

Hearing his playful remark, Lu Wei also smiled and nodded, signifying her agreement. With her approval, Li Yong began to venture into the tunnel. The passageway was narrow, allowing only one person to move through at a time, with the other following closely Li Yong led the way.

Walking ahead, Li Yong noticed the tunnel wasn't very sturdy; a strong punch could bring it down. After a brief journey, they exited the tunnel into a large open area.

In this spacious chamber, they saw two distinct tunnels. One tunnel emitted a bright light that illuminated the area, while the other displayed a chilling sight – the remains of a massive snake, complete with its elongated skeletal structure. The snake's skull seemed to be fixed on them, even in death, exuding an unsettling aura.

Seeing the extensive snake bones, they couldn't help but feel small in comparison to the massive creature. The snake's immense size and length were imposing. Although the snake's skull indicated its lifelessness, its vacant eyes appeared to be fixed on them, creating an eerie sensation as if the snake could come alive and consume them at any moment.

Observing this unsettling sight, Lu Wei grasped Li Yong's hand for reassurance. "Even though the snake is already dead, its empty eyes create an illusion of being alive and ready to attack us. The aura emanating from these snake bones suggests that its cultivation level might surpass even that of our sect master," she shared, highlighting the intense pressure that the remains of this formidable beast emitted.

As Lu Wei spoke about the snake, her eyes widened in a mixture of awe and fear due to the immense pressure emanating from the creature's remains. Notably, their sect master had never encountered such overwhelming pressure. Moreover, the fact that this beast was already deceased added to the eerie atmosphere.

Upon hearing Lu Wei's description, Li Yong nodded in agreement. Despite having witnessed their sect master's battles against other sect leaders, the pressure exerted by this ancient creature's remains was beyond their expectations. "Don't worry; this beast is already dead. We may not know what kind of demon spirit beast it was, but collecting these snake bones is a good idea. Crafting a formidable weapon from them could potentially surpass anything we use in our sect,".

Li Yong replied with a smile before starting to collect the snake bones. In a matter of minutes, he had gathered and stored all the snake bones in his storage ring. Just then, Lu Wei's voice caught his attention. "Li Yong, come and see this," she exclaimed, pointing to something on the wall
