The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 284: Escape from Despair

Lan Wangji held Wei Wuxian's hand tightly and ran forward with all his might.

Behind them, there were crashing sounds, as if a ferocious beast was chasing them. Stones rolled, dust flew, and the entire passage shook violently.

Wei WuXian complained as he ran, "What kind of a hell of a place is this? The cave collapsed. And the only way to get around is running. I can't even control my sword."

His face was covered in sweat and dust, and his hair was a little messy, but his eyes revealed determination and indomitable spirit.

Lan Wangji didn't say anything, but just held Wei Wuxian's hand tightly and kept speeding up his pace.

His face was solemn and his eyes were focused, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him and the road ahead and the people around him were his only goals.

Xue Chonghai then spoke through Cai Luan, "Wei Wuxian, is this the time to complain? Run!"

There was a hint of anxiety and helplessness in his voice, and he was obviously very worried about the current situation.

Wei WuXian snorted and said, “I know, I know. I was just saying that.”

Although he complained, his pace did not slow down at all. He knew that now was not the time to complain. They had to find an exit as soon as possible, otherwise they would be buried in this collapsed cave.

The two men ran quickly, their breathing became more and more rapid, and their footsteps became heavier and heavier.

But they didn't dare stop, because they knew that once they stopped, they might never get out.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji felt like they had been running for a very long time, but they still couldn't see the shadow of the exit. A trace of despair began to well up in their hearts. Were they really going to be trapped here?

Just when they were about to despair, Wei Wuxian suddenly saw a little light ahead.

He said excitedly: "Lan Zhan, hurry up, the exit is just ahead."

His voice was full of joy and hope, as if he saw the dawn of life.

Lan Wangji also saw the light, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. They quickened their pace and ran towards the light.

As they got closer to the exit, the light grew larger and larger. They finally saw the outline of the exit, a small hole. The sunlight coming in from outside made them feel extremely warm.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji leaped with all their might and finally emerged from the hole. They lay on the ground, gasping for breath, their faces filled with exhaustion and joy.

They looked around and found themselves in an unfamiliar place, a mountain forest with lush green trees, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

They didn't know where they were, but they knew that they had finally escaped from the collapsed cave.

Wei Wuxian sat up, looked at Lan Wangji, and said, "Lan Zhan, we're finally out."

A huge smile appeared on his face, like a child who had finally returned home after an adventure.

Lan Wangji nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

His voice was soft, yet powerful. He looked at Wei Wuxian, his eyes filled with tenderness and concern.

Wei WuXian stood up, stretched his body, and said, "What should we do now?"

His eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't know where to go.

Lan Wangji thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to rest first, and then make plans."

His voice was steady and powerful, reassuring.

Wei WuXian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you then."

His eyes were full of trust. He knew that as long as Lan Wangji was there, they would be able to find a way out.

They walked for a while in the forest and finally found a small cave. The cave was dry and quiet, a good place to rest.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji walked into the cave and sat down to rest. They ate some dry food, drank some water, and then began to discuss their next plan.

Wei WuXian said, “We don’t know where we are right now, nor do we know where the Shadow Beast has escaped to. How are we supposed to find it?”

Lan Wangji frowned slightly and said, "We can first inquire about the situation here and see if there are any clues."

His voice was steady and powerful, reassuring.

Wei WuXian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you then."

His eyes were full of trust. He knew that as long as Lan Wangji was there, they would be able to find a way out.

They rested in the cave for a while, then walked out and began to ask about the situation there. After walking for a long time, they finally met a woodcutter.

The woodcutter told them that this was a place called Baiyun Mountain, which was far away from where they were before.

After hearing the woodcutter's words, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji felt a glimmer of hope.

They said goodbye to the woodcutter and continued on their way.
