The sharp knife had cut the vines halfway through.
There was only half left attached, requiring another cut before it might be possible to sever it completely.
But I had already been dragged into the cave.
I fell from the pitch-black cavern, filled with immense regret in my heart.
Why hadn't I picked up a Miao Knife from the ground for self-defense? These knives are sharp and powerful.
If I had used a Miao Knife to cut the vines earlier, I could have severed them and escaped.
Now, I was probably going to fall to my death.
In the moment I hit the ground, I adjusted my position.
Protecting my belly, I faced the ground.
Fortunately, there was all mud beneath me, which cushioned my fall.
The mud was filled with a terrible stench of decay, and bubbles continuously formed on its surface.
Four tall statues stood embedded in the mud, towering and erect.
At a glance, the four statues in the dark...
They were all of Liu Bang slaying the White Snake.
