Chapter 734: Chapter 734 Apocalyptic System Tick Tock
Beneath the peach blossom tree, the fox lay lazily.
But its mind was anything but idle.
How strange!
Why did the space suddenly change? And Su Shu, the master, hadn’t co in for a long ti either.
In the fox’s view, sothing must be wrong since the person who used to co every day suddenly hadn’t shown up for several days.
Could sothing have happened outside?
The more the fox thought about the potential problems outside, the more tangled its thoughts beca.
Thinking of the physical discomfort Su Shu had ntioned recently, the fox suddenly lifted its head and stared at the Little Red Snake coiled dumbly on the branch.
“Little thing, you seem pretty carefree all day, not even aware when the master is having problems. You really are sothing.”
The Little Red Snake remained motionless, continuing to coil around the tree.
Its sole requirent for its environnt was comfort; it wasn’t enlightened yet and didn’t have many intricate thoughts.
Talking to it was like playing the lute to a cow, the fox thought it might as well figure things out slowly on its own.
With Su Shu not coming in these past days, the boredom was growing.
But without her, it couldn’t leave either.
In the space, except for the grains and vegetables Su Shu planted which seed a bit lively, everything else appeared lifeless, just like the fox.
It wondered what was going on with the two of them.
As it pondered, the fox slowly fell asleep, the days were just too boring.
After the fox fell asleep, from the long-abandoned System Room across the river, a beeping sound suddenly erged.
The fox didn’t hear it, but the Little Red Snake coiled on the peach tree suddenly lifted its head and looked over.
Beep, beep, beep — beep, beep, beep —
The sound was very faint, but in the quiet afternoon, it was clearly audible.
The Little Red Snake looked down and saw that the fox seed not to have heard.
It stayed quietly on the peach tree for a while before it started moving, following the beeping sound down the tree and across the stone bridge to take a closer look.
Squeak—
Its thin tail gently pushed open the door.
A triangular head carefully sneaked in, crawling towards the place where the beeping sound was coming from…

“How is it?”
Su Shu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, lifting her head with a clear gaze.
“I’m okay now, let’s continue walking.”
Tang Zelin studied her intently a few tis to make sure she wasn’t just putting on a brave front, then he nodded and took her hand.
His voice was low and steady, giving a great sense of security.
“Stay close to .”
“Okay.”
Trapped in this special space, both understood that if they couldn’t find a way to break out or escape, they might both end up trapped here forever.
Such an outco was within the range of their choices.
They had walked along the stone pathway under their feet for so long without any change.
They decided to give up the only clue offered to them by this mysterious space.
Since such a long ti had passed without results, they might as well try another way.
That ant abandoning the stone path to take another route.
Now that they decided to try another way, the question arose.
If they abandoned the stone path, where else was there another path around?
In other words, they needed to find a new path within this vast, boundless space.
Tang Zelin said, “Are you scared?”
“Not scared.” Being with him, she was not even afraid of death; what else was there to fear?
“Stick close to , and no matter what happens later, you must absolutely not let go of my hand, you hear?”
“I will never let go of your hand,” Su Shu said, looking him in the eyes earnestly.
Tang Zelin felt a slight stir in his heart, his gaze suddenly deepening.
He said nothing more, pointing to the left, “Let’s try going this way first.”
“Listening to you.”
