Chapter 313: Chapter 290: The Mysterious Cave (Part 1)

"Lin Yi, Xiaoxiao!"

Li Chen roared, panic written all over his face as he watched the two people plummeting down below, and he too jumped down without hesitation.

The mysterious energy inside him began to surge tumultuously, spreading throughout his body, as if he had endless power.

With the help of the mysterious energy, Li Chen dove down towards them, falling much faster than Lin Xiaoxiao and the other person, catching up to them in just a moment.

Below was a lush canopy of trees, the sturdy trunks growing out of the rocky crevices and the spread of branches and leaves completely obstructing the view from below, while above, three people were falling rapidly.

"Brother-in-law!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was in utter panic, while Lin Yi, by her side, also hadn’t anticipated Li Chen jumping down.

Their gazes met, and Li Chen, reading the intention in Lin Yi’s eyes, couldn’t help but bellow:

"Lin Yi, I’m telling you, you don’t have permission to die without my consent!"

Li Chen’s diving speed increased even further, and mid-air, he grabbed Lin Yi’s arm, pulled her towards him with a jerk.

"Li Chen, you..." Lin Yi started to say something, but the three of them were about to pass through the branches and leaves of a large tree!

"Promise me you’ll survive!"

Li Chen said softly, smiling at Lin Yi with an extremely gentle tone, but suddenly, with the help of the mysterious energy, he flung Lin Yi’s body to the side!

Instantly, Lin Yi was thrown against the thick branches of the large tree.

Li Chen’s force and aim were so well-judged that he managed to throw Lin Yi directly onto the branch, and the impact made her pass out on the spot.

As for Li Chen himself, he struck violently against the tree trunk.

"Puh"

The harsh impact caused a severe blow to Li Chen’s back, and the energy within him churned like the tumultuous sea, but it did not stop his fall; the branch broken under the impact of his crash also snapped off.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxiao also fell, screaming continuously, but luckily, she was only passing through leaves.

"Brother-in-law! Save me!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was terrified, and Li Chen quickly adjusted his body to dive towards Lin Xiaoxiao’s direction.

The two passed through the verdant trees, and suddenly the view opened up, but this wasn’t good news, as most of what was below them were rocks.

Lin Xiaoxiao was in extreme panic, flailing her arms in mid-air, trying to grab onto something, but to no avail, and her fall was getting faster and faster.

"Don’t panic, Xiaoxiao!"

Li Chen shouted loudly, focusing on the falling Xiaoxiao, while also scanning below for something protruding that might stop their momentum.

Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao were still falling, and to the entirety of Duan Ya Mountain, the two seemed like mere specks in the vast sea, nearly indistinguishable from afar, let alone able to receive assistance given their rapid descent.

Lin Xiaoxiao was screaming, her shrieks echoing without travelling far.

Am I really going to die?

Despair flashed through Lin Xiaoxiao’s heart.

"Xiaoxiao, hold on!"

Li Chen shouted loudly, and Lin Xiaoxiao looked up to see Li Chen diving toward her, his expression resolute and reaching out to grab her.

"Brother-in-law!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was both elated and tearful, but at that moment, Li Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed; below Lin Xiaoxiao, a sharp rock was protruding, and if she fell upon it, she would surely be impaled!

In that critical moment, Li Chen grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao’s hand, pulled her upwards, and brought her close to his side.

But as a result of this action, Li Chen himself mercilessly collided with the rock.

"Crash"

The clothes on his back were instantly torn to shreds, and Li Chen received another hard blow, his energy raging uncontrollably as the mysterious energy seemed displeased and began to rebel against his control.

"Puh"

Li Chen spat out blood, while a long gash was slashed open on his back from the sharp friction, stretching from the top to the bottom, looking extremely fierce.

The impact caused the hand that was firmly gripping Lin Xiaoxiao to inadvertently loosen.

"Brother-in-law!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was horrified, nearly in tears, unaccustomed to such a situation.

Li Chen felt a burning pain in his back, his blood freely flowing, with the most critical issue being the unruly energy within his body that seemed to be protesting.

Suppressing the discomfort within him, Li Chen once again grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, hold me tight," Li Chen said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly clung to Li Chen, and in mid-air, Li Chen adjusted their positions so that Lin Xiaoxiao held him tightly from behind.

The two continued to fall, and Li Chen kept looking for a safe place to land, but was unable to find any suitable spot as the rocks below were almost vertical, offering no foothold whatsoever.

Li Chen tried stretching out his hands, hoping to grab the crevices in the rocks and slow their descent, but it was futile; his hands snagged on the rocks, which crumbled away, and their falling figures did not slow down, not even a bit.

Just then, Li Chen saw a horizontally growing tree below and couldn’t help feeling a flicker of hope.
