False Alarm

Bam! Bam!

Sounds of rapid footsteps came from outside. The three of them looked at the rubbles nervously, hoping that there was no stupid beast suddenly barging inside uninvited. If that was the case, they would need to fight despite their battered situation.

Three pairs of eyes were looking in one direction nervously.

*rumble*

The earth shook once more, but the three of them didn't move. Even without any instruction, they came to a tacit agreement that the safest action right now was to not do anything.

As time trickled, there was no beast coming in their direction. Slowly, the shaking eased until it came to a stop. There was no more sound coming from outside the cave anymore.

"That's scary," Lu Wan mumbled.

Ye Jiao nodded in agreement. "I didn't expect the beast to turn around."
