An Yiqing remained calm despite the danger, gently squeezing Ah Mi's slightly trembling hand.
"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you or Granny. Hold onto your phone tight, we're picking up the pace!"
With that, An Yiqing ordered Dashan to carry Granny on his back and run ahead, while Ah Mi held onto her and lit the way forward.
The rumbling from the direction of the cave entrance grew louder, and the ground shook more violently with each passing moment. The group's steps transitioned from swift to even swifter, and finally, they broke into a full run through the secret passage.
Thud—
With a heavy crash, An Yiqing tumbled hard onto the ground.
"Xiao Yu, are you okay? Get up quickly! Where are you hurt?"
Ah Mi, tears streaming down her face, helped An Yiqing back to her feet. Then, using the flashlight, she examined An Yiqing's injuries, which only made her cry harder.
