The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1170: Chapter 1169: The Tip of the Iceberg

This is probably the only explanation, but since something attacked Chen Qingqing, why is she still alive?

You know, these bones everywhere aren’t a joke, but Chen Qingqing just fainted without any harm.

”Brother Changfeng, what on earth is going on? How can there be such strange things in the Infinite Cave?” Chen Qingqing looked around curiously.

Su Changfeng had been pondering this matter too; perhaps this was the secret Tuo Shi had always hidden.

Not being successfully promoted to the Heavenly Level, not challenging the Infinite Cave, one couldn’t know Tuo Shi’s secret. Elder Wu and Yang Junming had avoided it before, giving Su Changfeng a rough idea.

Even if they told him, he probably wouldn’t believe it. Many things leave a deep impression only when seen with one’s own eyes.

Moreover, such a frightening secret indeed isn’t suitable to be easily disclosed to others.

”This is the secret Tuo Shi keeps from the world. If I’m not mistaken, what we’re seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.” Su Changfeng said seriously.

Sooner or later they would know the secret. If they could leave the Infinite Cave alive, Su Changfeng would know everything. Unfortunately, the current situation was a bit difficult, and leaving smoothly was not as easy as they imagined.

”Imagine, if these creatures were let out, what a disaster it would cause. How on earth did Tuo Shi keep them contained?” Chen Qingqing asked.

Su Changfeng sighed and said, ”There are still many things we don’t know right now. To really understand what’s going on, we have to make it out alive and ask Elder Wu.”

Chen Qingqing nodded, albeit with a bitter smile inside. How could Su Changfeng know things she didn’t know?

”Let’s take a good rest first; no matter what, let’s think of a way to get out as soon as possible.” Su Changfeng said.

Chen Qingqing nodded and leaned her back against the mountain wall, whose surface was rough and uneven, making her uncomfortable and unable to find a good spot despite struggling for a long time.

Seeing this, Su Changfeng chuckled slightly and said, ”Why not lean on me.”

Chen Qingqing was slightly taken aback, then gently leaned on Su Changfeng’s shoulder, finally feeling much more comfortable with an unprecedented sense of security.

When she first met Su Changfeng, she wasn’t unaffected. After all, facing a handsome guy, how could a young girl like her resist? But later she found out Su Changfeng was already married, so she had to suppress her feelings.

But at this moment, her heart pounded uncontrollably.

”Hey, where’s that little snake?” Su Changfeng suddenly said, realizing that the little snake that had been pestering them was gone.

”Could it be dead?” Chen Qingqing asked.

”Shouldn’t be. It was just here and that little fellow can understand human speech,” Su Changfeng said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, ”Brother Changfeng, are you dreaming? How can a snake understand human speech? And it’s such a tiny snake; I’ve never seen a talking snake in my time working at the pet store.”

”Don’t doubt it, it’s true. If it were before, I’d also not believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes. If you don’t believe me, when it comes over, I’ll let you have a good look,” Su Changfeng said.

Seeing Su Changfeng speaking earnestly, Chen Qingqing couldn’t help but widen her eyes and ask, ”Brother Changfeng, are you really not joking?”

”No, do you think I’m someone who would joke? That little fellow was just here, and now it’s vanished.” Su Changfeng gazed around curiously, indeed not finding the little guy.

At this point, Chen Qingqing’s stomach suddenly rumbled, and her face flushed red with embarrassment as she covered her stomach.

”Are you hungry?” Su Changfeng asked, amused.

Chen Qingqing nodded bashfully. After all, a girl’s stomach growling is indeed embarrassing.

”Honestly, I’m a bit hungry too. I wonder what time it is now?” Su Changfeng sighed.

By now, Chen Qingqing wasn’t feeling embarrassed anymore. ”There’s probably nothing to eat here. If we keep going like this, won’t we die in here?”

”We probably won’t starve before becoming a feast for those big guys,” Su Changfeng sighed.

Just as Su Changfeng finished speaking, heavy footsteps sounded. Both Su Changfeng and Chen Qingqing noticed immediately, and their expressions changed.

”No way, am I a jinx?” Su Changfeng regretted his words. In his current state, if another big one came, he’d probably end up as their meal.

As the footsteps drew closer, the moment Su Changfeng saw who it was, his face filled with despair.

Not just a giant lizard, but also the gorilla they’d seen before, and three unknown creatures, all huge and seemingly extremely destructive.

If the little snake wasn’t wrong, there were six types of creatures in total, and five just came out at once. How could they be so ”lucky”!

”Brother Changfeng, are we... are we going to die?” Chen Qingqing asked, trembling.

”Haha, I suppose these guys are going to have a free meal,” Su Changfeng said helplessly. Just one had tormented him to no end; with five at once, he even lost the thought of resisting.

”Brother Changfeng, since we’re facing death, there’s something I want to tell you.” At this point, Chen Qingqing took a deep breath, preparing to express her feelings.

”What is it?” Su Changfeng looked at her curiously.

”I... I like you!” Chen Qingqing blurted out quickly.

Being confessed to, at least in Su Changfeng’s eyes, wasn’t surprising; many of the girls he’d met recently seemed interested in him, which he was aware of.

But in the current situation, there’s no room for romance.

Su Changfeng was never one to give up without a fight. As long as he was alive, he would resist; he wanted to survive, even if the chances were slim.

The environment he grew up in taught him to keep going no matter what difficulties he faced. As long as he kept going, there might be hope.

”We absolutely can’t give up until the very end!” Su Changfeng clenched his fist, held onto the mountain wall behind him, and struggled to stand, ready to make a last stand against the creatures in front of him.
