Li Wenli and Bai Junjun studied the patterned box carefully, but it had no visible seams, and they could not locate any mechanism.
They were still inside the cave, and to avoid any mishaps, they could only paddle away first.
There had been only one Boa seen here, and no one knew if another had died or had run away earlier.
Bai Junjun removed the prohibitions on the vines, and the group began paddling out again.
It was unclear how long they had been drifting in this cave when they finally could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.
The spirits of the group were immediately lifted, and they hurried their escape.
Soon, they noticed the river, previously still like dead water, had changed its flow.
The river flowed swiftly outward, and even without Ah Dao exerting any effort, the small boat could autonomously run outward.
After a while, the dim cave suddenly brightened with a silver-white light… Was it moonlight?
They had reached the exit!
