A green dream

Instead of slowly and carefully chipping away at the crystals he ended up blowing a hole through them. The entire tunnel shook as a result forcing Hao Xuan to make a hasty exit.

He ran out of the tunnel as pieces fell around him one by one. Even if he got buried alive it wouldn't be too much of a problem but it was better to avoid any extra trouble.

Che Yun was already standing by the exit- making preparations. There was a rope tied around his waist and even a raggedy old helmet on his head.

Seeing Hao Xuan appear in front of him the boy let out a sigh of relief, "Sir! Are you okay?!"

Hao Xuan waved his hand while looking him up and down, "Yeah yeah, don't worry about it. What's with the getup?"

"Oh, this? I was getting ready to go in if you needed help," he said proudly.

Hao Xuan followed the rope with his eyes and found it loosely tied to a nearby boulder. It would be pulled loose with the lightest touch.
