Chapter 94: Departure

“Thank you for your help. Regarding the way out, I know a shortcut.”

This woman did not panic after Zhou Chen expressed that he would not care about them. Instead, she told Zhou Chen that she knew an easy way out of this cave.

“Really?”

Zhou Chen's interest was piqued because even he would be confused if he wanted to exit the cave.

“Yes! That vampire took a shortcut when he brought me in yesterday!”

The woman nodded.

“Alright, lead the way.”

Zhou Chen replied calmly.

“Alright, please wait.”

The woman then turned and pulled the other two young women out of the iron cage, and supported the palest and weakest-looking one.

“We're all from the same village, so I can't ignore them.”

The woman explained to Zhou Chen.

“Okay.”

Zhou Chen nodded slightly. He felt that this woman was quite loyal.

Half a minute later, Zhou Chen took two glowing stones from the wall and handed them to the woman to see the way.

He had already asked her. She said that although she did not see the path in the dark passage when she was brought in, based on her memory of the direction and distance, she knew the approximate location of the exit.

Soon, under the woman's lead, the group walked out of the vampire's room and into the depths of a passage.

“It's in this direction, it can't be too far.”

She led the way.

“Stop.”

Zhou Chen suddenly stopped her. Then, he raised his spear and charged to the front, piercing through a monster that looked like a large cockroach.

“Lead the way.”

After dealing with the threat, he let the guide continue.

After ten minutes, Zhou Chen and the others stopped in front of a stone wall.

“I remembered that the exit was around here…”

The woman muttered and looked at the thick stone walls around her with a dazed expression.

“It should still be ahead.”

Zhou Chen saw that the woman did not seem to be lying. He felt that it was most likely that this woman had underestimated the vampire's speed and misjudged the distance.

Zhou Chen continued forward with the three of them. He killed many monsters along the way and finally found a fork more than a thousand meters away.

One of the passages was very narrow, but it led straight to the top. The angle was almost vertical, and it looked very steep.

“It should be this, but why is it so steep?”

When the leading woman saw that this passage was so dangerous, she immediately felt despair, because it was impossible for them to climb up.

“Don't worry, I'll go up and take a look.”

Zhou Chen did not care much about this. This kind of stone passage was like a deep well; even if he did not activate the Windrun skill, he could still rush up by stepping on some protruding rocks.

He did not even put down the box that contained gold coins and gems. He directly charged up.

He was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from the eyes of the three women.

While moving upwards, Zhou Chen realized that there were some bats gathered in the deep well-like passage. He temporarily activated his Shield passive skill and chopped them into pieces with the ax.

After about five minutes, Zhou Chen arrived at the top of the passage and jumped out.

The moment he came out, he realized that there were bare mountain rocks everywhere. This exit might be in the same mountain area as the entrance to the nameless cave. At this moment, a huge and bright moon was hanging in the sky. It was clearly late at night.

“To think that this sinkhole is actually connected to the nameless cave. If I knew back then, I would not have to go through that much trouble to enter the nameless cave.”

The confirmation of this passage was quite useful to Zhou Chen. He did not need to spend a lot of time distinguishing the return path, nor did he need to face the siege that he might encounter at the main entrance.

After confirming that there were no creatures around using the Bloodthirst passive skill, Zhou Chen hid the box with the gold coins and gems under a large rock.

“Although I didn't find the amethyst stone, the passive skills I obtained are a good harvest. I also picked up a lot of gold coins. Now that I've exhausted most of my energy, it will be a little difficult to continue fighting the monsters. I should go back and rest.”

Zhou Chen wanted to stop this exploration because he had already spent most of the day in this dark and oppressive place. He had exhausted a lot of energy searching for monsters and killing them. The little supplies he had brought were not enough to allow him to remain here.

“Moreover, a few people from that mercenary group have escaped. They will definitely bring people to counterattack. If I continue moving in the cave, I might be surrounded once I'm discovered. I don't believe that the development of a gold mine only has this mercenary group supporting it.”

Zhou Chen determined that the risk of him moving in the nameless cave would increase with time. For safety reasons, he decided to quit while he was ahead.

After making a decision, Zhou Chen jumped back into the sinkhole.

He was going to bring the three women up. This was not much trouble for him, but it could save the lives of the three poor people.

After reaching the bottom, Zhou Chen carried a girl on his shoulder and the other two in each hand, and charged out of the sinkhole again. This time, after activating the Windrun skill, he was faster than when he had relied on brute force to climb up.

“We will never forget your help!”

“Thank you for saving us!”

“May the Holy Spirit protect you forever!”

After Zhou Chen brought the three young women out of the sinkhole, they kowtowed to him to thank him. Their voices were trembling with excitement.

No one knew how much despair they felt when Zhou Chen went up alone. They felt that they would forever be trapped in this darkness after having just escaped the devil's den.

That was why they were so excited when Zhou Chen appeared again.

“Do you know where Red Valley City is?”

Zhou Chen looked around and was unsure of his exact location.

“It should be over there! In the direction of that mountain!”

The girl who led the way earlier immediately replied.

“Alright, see you then. Be careful on the way back.”

Zhou Chen knew from this girl's previous behavior that she had a good sense of direction and trusted her words. After taking out the box containing the gold coins and gems from under the rock on the side, he quickly left.

He planned to return to the Warm Forest Inn to rest before dealing with the gold coins and gems in his hand.
