Seeing Gongshu Yuan's reaction, Bai Ze couldn't help but laugh.

Ignoring her, Bai Ze continued looking for an exit along the passage.

As he walked deeper into the cave, he found that the temperature seemed to change, as if his body became colder the deeper he went.

This discovery made Bai Ze slightly happy, as it meant there must be a ventilation hole here.

As long as he finds this vent, he will definitely find a way out.

Thinking of this, Bai Ze quickened his pace, searching and groping along the walls on both sides.

Suddenly, he discovered that the temperature of one wall was obviously cooler than the other walls.

Bai Ze knocked with his weapon, and the sound it made was different from other places.

Bai Ze was immediately surprised and knocked hard on the wall.

However, not only did the wall show no signs of breaking, it even caused his hands to ache from the vibration. If it weren't for the special material of the golden sword, it would have broken long ago.

Bai Ze stopped what he was doing. Now he could only let Gongshu Yuan come and take a look. Maybe she was knowledgeable and knew how to open the wall.

So Bai Ze returned the same way.

Soon, he returned to his original position, but he was surprised to find that Gongshu Yuan was gone!

And even the bed taken out from the space was gone!

Bai Ze calmed himself down and looked around.

He felt that the surroundings were the same place where he had rested last night. Could it be that he had found the wrong place?

Thinking of this, Bai Ze continued to move forward, but after walking for more than ten minutes, he stopped.

It only took him ten minutes to find that special piece of wall, but it took him ten minutes to go back, and now he has spent another fifteen minutes looking for it. He should have found it long ago.

But why can’t I see the absorber?

And there is no fork in the road here at all.

Thinking of this, Bai Ze's pupils shrank slightly. He returned to the more familiar place and checked it carefully.

He didn't believe that Gongshu Yuan would leave, and he didn't believe that Gongshu Yuan would take the bed with him. So there was only one possibility, Gongshu Yuan was most likely taken away by the Fifth Elder!

The fifth elder knew the location of the switch inside, so he could come in easily.

Bai Ze secretly regretted why he left Gongshu Yuan alone.

Now she is still sick. If the Fifth Elder wants to do something to her, how can she resist?

Thinking about it, Bai Ze began to search carefully, inch by inch.

After an unknown amount of time, Gongshu Yuan slowly woke up. She felt the temperature around her getting lower, and she couldn't help but wrap the quilt tighter.

She slowly popped her head out and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, her heart tightening involuntarily.

Gongshu Yuan looked around and called out, "Bai Ze, where are you?"

Her voice quickly echoed in the tunnel, and soon, echoes appeared one after another.

Seeing this, perhaps due to psychological effects, Gongshu Yuan felt even colder.

She also realized something at this time. This place was a little different from the previous place.

She plucked up her courage and stood up, holding on to the wall and moving forward step by step.

After a while, her pupils shrank suddenly as she looked at the scene in front of her.

"This is an ice vein!"

Gongshu Yuan staggered forward.

Soon, she came to a stone that was emitting blue light.

She gently stroked the minerals, and locked them the moment her hands touched them.

Because the ore was too cold, she couldn't touch it for long.

Suddenly, Gongshu Yuan laughed and seemed extremely excited.

"Great, I finally found it!"

But at this moment, a voice came from behind.

"Haha, the clan leader doesn't seem to be in good health. It's better not to get close to these ores, lest your condition gets worse."

Gongshu Yuan turned her head suddenly, and when she saw that the person coming was the Fifth Elder, her expression unconsciously became nervous.

Before, she had heard from Bai Ze that it was the Fifth Elder who locked them up.

And now he was sick, so he was no match for the Fifth Elder.

"Fifth Elder, what do you want to do?" she asked bravely.

"What am I doing?" The fifth elder suddenly asked in a rhetorical tone, and then burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, he suddenly showed a disgusted expression and looked at Gongshu Yuan and said, "Then I would like to ask you, on what basis did you expel my grandson from the Gongshu clan? If you hadn't expelled him from the Gongshu clan, my grandson wouldn't have died!"

Gongshu Yuan was stunned. He quietly put his hands behind his back and grasped the flying knife in his palm. Only then did he feel relieved.

She looked around, found a safe place, and slowly moved over.

As she moved, she calmed the Fifth Elder with words: "Fifth Elder, expelling Gongshu Yun from the Gongshu Clan was the result of a joint discussion between me and the other four elders. If you have any dissatisfaction, we can sit down and have a good discussion."

"What's the point of negotiating? My grandson is already dead. Don't worry, I won't let any of the others go. After you leave, I will let them go down one by one to accompany you. I want you to apologize to my grandson down there!"

As he spoke, a hook appeared in the fifth elder's hand.

When Gongshu Yuan saw the hook, her face darkened and she threw the flying knife behind her towards the fifth elder without hesitation.

The fifth elder also threw the hook towards Gongshu Yuan.

"Ding-clang!" The hook and the flying knife collided.

The two flying knives were instantly bounced away.

Seeing this, Gongshu Yuan's heart sank.

The Fifth Elder had been holding the grappling hook in his hand the entire time, and at the moment of the weapons' collision, both weapons flew back at the same time.

But the fifth elder swung the hook violently, and it flew towards Gongshu Yuanfei again.

Gongshu Yuan's flying knife was still halfway and had not flown back. At such a distance, she would definitely be caught by the hook.

In desperation, Gongshu Yuan gave up the flying knife, used all his strength to jump up and avoid the attack of the hook.

After the Fifth Elder's hook missed the first strike, it gradually retracted into his palm, followed by a second attack.

Gongshu Yuan had no choice but to dodge again, but her body had not recovered yet, and she had run out of strength after several attempts.

Finally, after dodging again, Gongshu Yuan was completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

The fifth elder laughed even more wildly upon seeing this.

"Hahaha! Let's see how you can hide."

As he spoke, the hook flew out again.

"Puchi!" The three sharp points on the hook clamped Gongshu Yuan's body tightly, and bright red blood flowed down the lock.

Gongshu Yuan felt a sudden pain, and as his body had reached its limit, a feeling of dizziness instantly came over him.

"Bai Ze, come and save me!" She had no strength left and fell to the ground, muttering softly.

But even the Five Elders might not be able to hear this sound, let alone Bai Ze who was nowhere to be found.

She closed her eyes weakly, waiting for her next fate.

Just when she was about to lose consciousness, she suddenly felt a warmth.

She tried hard to open her eyes, and when she saw Bai Ze's figure, she fainted with peace of mind.
