Chapter 329 Endless battle and duel
Ji Ziyue sat alone in the dark cave. Her fingers were as cold as ice, and the entire palm of her hand had lost its color. The purple color on her lips was even more conspicuous, as if she had been frostbitten by the cold wind. She rubbed her hands vigorously, trying to drive away the cold that invaded her bones, but to no avail.
Liu Yang stood beside her, his eyes filled with distress. He knew clearly that if they could no longer find food and a warm shelter, Ji Ziyue's situation would only worsen. However, their current predicament leaves them with nowhere to go and not even a glimmer of hope.
He gritted his teeth, turned around suddenly, and said in a firm voice: "I'll go look for something to eat. Senior sister, please wait for me!" After saying that, he ignored Ji Ziyue's shouts and resolutely headed towards the cave. Run deep.
Ji Ziyue looked at his retreating figure, a trace of helplessness and worry flashed in her eyes. She knew that Liu Yang was doing it for her own good, but she also knew that the desperate situation here could not be changed by a single act of courage. However, she didn't have the courage to stop him and could only pray silently for his safe return.
Liu Yang ran desperately, as if this was the only way to dispel the despair and fear in his heart. However, as he ran farther and farther, the surrounding scenery did not change at all. It's still the endless valley, still the vast twilight. The cold wind whistled past, picking up fallen leaves, as if mocking his powerlessness.
His mood became heavier and heavier, and his steps became slower and slower. He knew that he might be doing useless work, but he couldn't stop. Because in his heart, there is always a belief that supports him: as long as he still has breath, he cannot give up hope.
I don't know how long he ran, but a blurry object finally appeared in front of Liu Yang's eyes. He was overjoyed, thinking that he had found something valuable. However, when he looked closer, he found that it was just an ordinary stone. An indescribable sense of loss suddenly surged in his heart, as if the last life-saving straw had been taken away.
He sat weakly on the ground, holding his head in his hands, his eyes filled with tears. He knew that he might really not be able to find it. This may really be a desperate situation, a place of death from which there is no escape.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint sound. He quickly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. I saw something moving in a patch of grass not far away. His heart tightened, could it be a wild beast? But he quickly rejected this idea because the sound did not sound like that of a wild animal.
He cautiously approached the patch of grass, the torch in his hand lighting up everything around him. When he saw the true face of that thing clearly, his eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. It turned out to be a small animal, it looked like a rabbit or a squirrel. Although its size is not large, for Liu Yang at this moment, it is tantamount to a life-saving dawn.
He quickly caught the little animal, his heart filled with joy. He knew he had finally found food. While this won't solve all of their current problems, it will at least provide them with temporary relief from the plight of hunger and cold.
He couldn't wait to return to Ji Ziyue and handed the little animal to her. Ji Ziyue looked at the little animal in his hand, and her eyes flashed with surprise. She knew that this was the hope Liu Yang found for them. Although this hope is slim, it can at least give them the motivation to persist.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all difficulties and despair disappeared at this moment. They know that the road ahead will still be difficult, but at least they have the courage to move on. As long as they don't give up hope and don't abandon each other, they will be able to get out of this desperate situation and welcome the dawn that belongs to them.
