Fang Xiaocao's message was sent.
There was no "contact does not exist" notification.
Clearly, Hot Noodles must have been in the service area.
It was just that Fang Xiaocao did not immediately receive a reply from Hot Noodles.
Fang Xiaocao blinked, guessing that Hot Noodles might be busy and didn't have time to look at his phone.
Shaking her head, Fang Xiaocao put her phone back into her pocket.
She decided not to discuss the mysterious pawnshop any longer.
"Meet force with force, fend off water with earth!"
"Stay vigilant, if we really encounter someone from the pawnshop, we should not initiate hostilities, but if they dare..."
Saying this, Fang Xiaocao made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Yes!"
Tom and the other two responded in unison.
Following Tom's lead, Fang Xiaocao and the others took fewer detours, and soon a pungent, nauseating stench wafted from the cave ahead.
That smell was extremely peculiar.
It gave Fang Xiaocao a sense of déjà vu.
