Having nothing better to do, Ye Feng started scanning the area, hoping to find if there were any hidden exits in this enclosed valley.
Although he couldn't find an exit, Ye Feng did find a narrow passage on one side of the hot spring. The passage was very narrow but just wide enough for one person to pass through with difficulty.
Considering Ye Feng's build, he wasn't worried about fitting through. However, he needed to consider how long the passage was and whether he had enough breath to reach the other end, or if it was just a dead end. These considerations were crucial for him.
After some thought, Ye Feng realized he had no other options left. This might be his only way out, so the idea of returning to the cave and then back to the cliff edge was not appealing to him.
Not only would it take a lot of time, but the route down from the cliff also seemed unreliable. Instead of bothering with that uncertain path, he decided to take a chance on this passage.
