The two entered the tunnel one after the other and restored the grass mat above them.
The tunnel, which had been faintly visible by the moonlight, suddenly plunged into darkness.
Chu Feng followed Lin Xiao through the narrow, cramped tunnel, inching his body along as they headed in a different direction.
After moving about three to four meters, Lin Xiao finally fumbled around and slowly stood up, pulling a flat, hard wooden board from his robes.
"We've arrived! We just need to dig through the soil above, and we'll be halfway there!" Lin Xiao exclaimed. Chu Feng could clearly hear a trace of suppressed excitement in his voice.
"Good!" Chu Feng replied softly and began moving the dug-up soil from beneath him towards the back.
Soon, as loose soil scattered, a bright beam of moonlight shone down, instantly illuminating their vision.
"We're through!" Lin Xiao whispered, then carefully poked his head out, steadying himself against the uneven walls.
