Standing at the mouth of that black halo, he turned back for another glance behind him.
Xiong Jie gazed at the exit, his heart ablaze.
This time, after leaving the Dungeon, he'd have two SSS-level clear records. Though neither was the first clear, he was already satisfied.
Surviving is enough—why bother thinking too much?
Xiong Jie stopped walking; he didn't even plan to rush towards the door.
If he did rush, he'd snag a first-clear slot, but his life would end there.
Jiang Che turned back once more. This time, at the hallway's end, he saw a familiar silhouette sprinting towards him.
Jiang Che opened his arms and ran toward her too.
"Che, thank goodness I wasn't late." Ding Ning pressed her head to Jiang Che's chest.
A strong heartbeat thumped again and again; the girl shut her eyes tightly, her arms locked around Jiang Che's waist.
"Sorry, I didn't manage to do it." Her voice was soft, pressed against Jiang Che's chest.
