"You noticed it too?" Zhang Heng nodded. As he motioned for the robot pilots to ignite the surroundings and gather fuel, he said, "It really seems that way. Wherever the firelight is brightest, the sense of danger feels much weaker. Perhaps in these Three Underground Worlds, many creatures—or most of them, at least—are afraid of the light. So let's set this place ablaze!"
The two of them, along with the robot pilots, moved extremely fast. They quickly gathered wood and fuel. Then Zhang Heng and Su Shiyan dug a pit in the ground, piled the materials inside, and had a robot use its flamethrower to ignite them. As the fire roared to life, that lingering sense of danger that had clung to them like a shadow instantly receded quite a bit. Breathing a sigh of relief, the two of them looked around anxiously, hoping to catch sight of Hao Qi or Puzhi arriving.
Meanwhile, pursued and besieged by three Raging-rank Creatures while also having to protect Lan Linger, Hao Qi was utterly miserable and wracked with anxiety. The longer he stayed in the Three Underground Worlds, the more intense his premonition of danger became. The crucial issue was that Zhang Heng, Su Shiyan, and Yun Qingqing had still not been found; he truly had no idea what to do next.
