Somewhere deep inside a dark, narrow passage…
"What a grumpy-looking shithole…"
Heavy footsteps echoed down the narrow, damp passage. Wang Xiao didn't bother softening them, what was the point? Whoever was here already knew he'd arrived.
The walls was stale, covered with that underground rot only caves carried, like the earth itself had been sweating for centuries. Moss stuck to the jagged walls, and thin rivulets of water dripped in slow, mocking rhythm.
The deeper he went, the wider the cave became, splitting into a dozen winding veins like a diseased heart. He traced the faint aftertaste of power in the air, the kind only a strong Transcendent left behind.
One had just landed here...
From another universe.
He snorted. "Crash in a strange world, first thing you do is hide in a cave?.."
