The Decomposition of Everything

The flames of the fire danced and crackled. The warm firelight not only dispelled the darkness, but also brought a hint of warmth, but this warmth could not dispel the coolness brought by Fan Yong.

Shen Zhi's face was a little solemn, not because he was worried after hearing the news, but because he saw Fan Yong's strength and the sparkle in his eyes. Just when he spoke, his eyes not only suppressed everyone, but also kept glancing at Yi Qianqian. Under his suppression, none of the girls spoke, so he had no choice but to start and asked doubtfully: "Uncle Fan, are you aware of the powerful monsters around you?"

Fan Yong glanced at Shen Zhi sternly and said seriously: "I haven't discovered the powerful monsters yet, but the group-type monsters have surrounded us. There are five major groups around us, including golden monkeys, spiders There are monsters, fire wolves, snake caves, and a group of fist-sized ants. What I am most worried about are these ant monsters. They are huge in number and have no fixed abodes. They wander around the surrounding area. They have fought with snake caves and fire wolves every time. They win every time. Their teeth are so sharp that they can even chew bones, so our stone chambers are not safe.”

The firelight reflected different expressions on everyone's face, either alert, worried, or fearful. Their figures cast long shadows on the stone wall, twisting and swaying as the firelight swayed, adding a touch of tension to the atmosphere.

Qin Hai raised his head and spoke: "We need to find a direction to leave as soon as possible. We can't stay here forever. I have had enough of this kind of life. Do you know that I face the risk of death every day? I have no chance." With Uncle Fan’s defense, I might die if I was touched by a monster. If Uncle Fan hadn’t saved me, I would have died several times.”

His face was excited, his cheeks were flushed, and his chest was heaving. For a young master like him, killing and fear have been surrounding him for many days, and he has had enough.

Shen Zhi wanted to say something else, but when he saw Mu Manting's actions and eyes caring about Qin Hai, his mind went numb again, and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Shen Zhi didn't speak, the two girls looked at everyone and bowed their heads in silence.

Fan Yong looked at the silent crowd and said in a deep voice: "I plan to take you out tomorrow. The ants are already approaching us, and danger will come at any time. The direction the immortal is coming from may be the exit. We must bet one time."

The girls looked up again and looked at each other. Yi Qianqian looked at Shen Zhi, whose eyes were wandering, and gently pulled him.

Shen Zhi woke up from his daze and turned around and asked, "What?"

Yi Qianqian suddenly became angry and rolled her eyes at him, but still said softly: "Uncle Fan said he would take us out tomorrow. What do you think?"

Shen Zhi was stunned and looked at Fan Yong, only to see Fan Yong's red eyes staring straight at him. Shen Zhi did not avoid looking at him and said calmly: "If you go out now, you will die. There are three girls here who have no fighting ability. You can't take care of it alone. Once surrounded by a large number of monsters, we will all die."

He paused, looked at the girls and continued: "Time is actually on our side. As long as everyone is proficient in studying supernatural powers, they will definitely be able to form combat effectiveness. Then it will be safe to go out."

Fan Yong shook his head and said in a firm voice: "You don't know how powerful those ants are. Our cave can't stop us. If we don't leave early, we will be in dire straits. I must leave tomorrow. Who is willing to come with me? Let's vote." He looked at Yi Qianqian expectantly.

Yi Qianqian avoided her eyes and lowered her head in silence. Qin Hai stood up and said excitedly: "I must leave. There is nothing in this ghost place. I've had enough." He lowered his head and took Mu Manting's hand and said again: " Xiaoting, let’s go together, I will definitely protect you.”

Shen Zhi looked at Mu Manting's firm nodding, and Qin Hai's figure was everywhere in his eyes. His heart ached. He lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Think about it for one night. I will observe the ant tomorrow and then do it." Decide."

Fan Yong looked at the different states of everyone and ignored Shen Zhi's words. He stood up and said domineeringly: "I will leave early tomorrow morning. You decide for yourself. Don't forget, you can't even get food." After saying that, he turned and walked towards own room.

Shen Zhi silently watched Fan Yong's leaving figure and sighed in his heart: "Uncle has really changed. He doesn't want other options at all. In fact, changing the base to avoid the ants is also a way."

Turning around, he saw Yi Qianqian and Jiang Linghan looking at him trustingly and saying, "You decide."

Shen Zhi didn't expect Jiang Linghan to trust him so much. He nodded and said, "Stay here for now. This small base took a lot of time, and the water and food can last for at least a few more days. I'll go check on that ant tomorrow. It's not a big deal for me." If we dig the base deeper, there is a high chance that someone will die if we leave now.”

He knew very well that he would definitely die if he left. These monsters all had light films on their bodies, and the only one that could cause harm was Qin Hai. Fan Yong needed to protect Qin Hai. He had no energy to protect the other four, so why did he do this? Either the ant really put them in danger, or he just wanted to force them. Reduce unnecessary personnel and fully control a few girls. Those girls must find support during the dangerous journey, and the only support is him. This is his purpose.

Everyone returned to the room with deep thoughts. Shen Zhi came to the simple stone room where girls used to live and leaned against the wall silently. Tonight might be the most important night and he had to keep vigil.

Time passed slowly, and the entire underground space was so quiet that only the crackling sound of the burning fire could be heard. Suddenly, Qin Hai's voice came from the hall: "Xiaoting, come here."

Mu Manting's footsteps were heard in his ears, and after a few steps, the sound of the stone door moving came. Through the sound, Shen Zhi knew that Mu Manting had entered Qin Hai's room.

His heart ached slightly, as if it was gently pulled by something. The goddess in his heart walked into another man's room. Even though he knew that they could not do anything, this thought still made him so painful that he could not breathe.

Faint conversations came, but they were not clear.

Another sound of the stone door moving away, and Fan Yong's heavy footsteps sounded. Shen Zhi sat up with a start, looked out through the crack in the door, and saw Fan Yong sitting next to the fire and adding a few firewood. The burly body sat there, heavy and desolate.

Shen Zhi thought about it, pushed the door open and walked out, always trying his best to try to convince him. Jingjing came to sit opposite him, raised her head and said, "Uncle Fan, we should take it easy for a few more days. There's no need to be so anxious. At least we should let those girls get used to facing the monsters directly."
