Chapter 371: Whatever You Do, Love It!

Time passed in stillness.

Inside the cave dwelling, only Su Ming's gradually steadying breaths and Lin Yu's faint soul-light on the Xuantian ring could be heard.

That bone-deep exhaustion and loneliness surged in like tidal waves, one after another.

Suddenly, Su Ming's mind flashed back to the spider he'd seen in the corner of the cave dwelling earlier.

It was the same.

At the boundary between light and dark, it concealed all its presence, lying perfectly still. No matter how strong the wind outside, no matter if prey hit its web, it maintained that absolute stillness and patience.

Because it knew—if it moved recklessly, it would die.

Hadn't he been just like that spider on the Heart-Questioning Platform?

Waiting in a desperate situation, surviving in the gaps between the maneuvers of several big shots, and finally grasping that sliver of dawn.

Now, the most dangerous strike had passed.Next came the time to repair the web and digest the gains.

Su Ming slowly opened his eyes, and in the depths of his pupils lay a newfound calmness he'd never had before. That calmness was the sediment left behind after being baptized by the terror of life and death.

He didn't know how long had passed.

Maybe an hour, maybe longer.

Suddenly, a rhythmic fluctuation came from the warning arrays at the periphery of the cave dwelling.

"Thump, thump, thump."

The knocking was very soft, probing, as if afraid of disturbing the person inside, yet it carried an undeniable urgency.

Then, Luo Feng's deliberately lowered voice pierced through the soundproofing arrays, muffled but audible:
