Chapter 200 - Dangers from Inside and Outside
Chapter 200 Dangers from Inside and Outside
As the loud sound of the magic shook the Devil’s Cave, Jiuyou Sage and the devils must have been disturbed, and they would come here to check, which would cause big trouble.
By then, Turtle Elf could not explain what had happened, and it could not say that it was because it triggered the trap of the seal again, because the devils would not be deceived again.
The evil wind blew, and it was screaming louder. The devils were rushing here.
Danger was coming. At this time, Turtle Elf was moaning, and it had no time to care about other affairs. It was immersed in pain and seemed not to hear the evil wind…
In the Cave of Fate, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were very nervous and anxious for the loud sound. They were worried that Jiuyou Sage and the devils would come here again, and they would be caught in the dangerous situation from inside and outside. As they were staring at the evil stone, they listened nervously to what was happening outside, hoping to get over the impending danger.
If Jiuyou Sage and the devils came, and the evil stone performed its magic again, then these two people would be dangerous. Even if they were not dead, they would be exposed in front of devils. Then they would either be killed by the magic of the evil stone, or bullied and killed by the devils when they were discovered.
If they were killed by the former, they would accept it, because it was not very painful. If they came across the latter, that would be too terrible, and these two people would die miserably. It was hard to imagine the situation.
Zhang Yunyan was scared and she sighed silently. She knew that once she was caught by the devils, she would be mercilessly tortured to death, and then get devoured by the devils. Her ending was more tragic.
Shikong would also end up becoming a skeleton covered by Buddhism costume.
That scene and ending were too terrible. Even the slightest mention of it would be frightening and horrible.
Zhang Yunyan was praying silently, hoping that she could die quietly, and the terrible tragedy would not happen to her and her benefactor.
In the Devil’s Cave, it was dark and terrifying. The air seemed to be condensed and was suffocating.
In the Cave of Fate, the evil stone stood still on the rock. No one knew whether it was gathering strength and waiting for the right moment, or planning on how to destroy these two people.
Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were looking at the evil stone nervously, and paying attention to the changes outside the cave. Their clothes were soaked in sweat, but they had no time to care about it, nor did they notice. They were waiting for the devastating blow that would come at any time, worried about being found by Jiuyou Sage and the devils so that they were caught in greater disaster.
Outside the Cave of Fate, there was no mystery but the atmosphere of terror and sadness.
Turtle Elf was very sad. Though there was little hope, it was still under the illusion that it could hear the sounds of Yun Feiyan and Shikong, which proved that the two friends were still alive and was not hurt.
In the Devil’s Cave, the howling evil wind was rushing to the Cave of Fate in a frightening way. The smell had affected here, which meant that the devils were coming.
Pulling itself up from grief, Turtle Elf knew that the loud noise had disturbed the devils, and led them here.
Soon, the devils came. It was very nervous and frightened. How could it explain what had happened?
It was about to face the devils, and it had to find a way to deal with it. Wiping away its tears, it was trying to conceive of a plan. Whether its friends were dead or alive, it should not reveal their hiding place. Otherwise, they would die, and if they were lucky to be alive, they would be in a more tragic situation, which perhaps would involve itself.
Hearing the howling sound of the evil wind outside the cave, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong knew Jiuyou Sage and the devils were coming, and they were extremely nervous.
Yunyan’s nerves were in high-strung, and her pretty face became a little stiff. She kept staring at the evil stone that was in confrontation with her. She knew that if this stone launched its attack, the devils would be suspicious. Then they would have no alternatives and no hope of life.
With no plan or choice, she could only block Shikong with her own body, leaving no chance for the evil stone to attack her benefactor. Otherwise, Shikong would either die or get injured, and their hiding place would be exposed to the devils. By that time, everything would be finished.
Once the devils rushed in, she was unable to fight, and she had not even a chance to commit suicide. The consequences… That would be too miserable to imagine.
With few alternatives and few hope of survival, Zhang Yunyan was still praying.
So was Shikong. Although he didn’t care whether he lived or died, his fears remained. Once the devils broke into the Cave of Fate, everything of him would be over.
In the fight with Jiuyou Sage, he already knew the old devil’s power. Even if he tried all his best to struggle, it would be useless like throwing an egg to the rock and he would lose his life in an instant.
“Howling.” The wind was strong outside the Cave of Fate. After a sudden stop, the wind blew again, whistling louder, which shocked the three creatures inside and outside the cave.
Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were so nervous that they could not breathe when they knew that the devils arrived. Facing the evil stone, they were in the danger of being attacked from both inside and outside. It was too terrible.
They hoped that the stone would not go mad and made any sound. There could be no accident, and whether it was quiet was related to their lives.
Facing the potential attacks from inside and outside, they were extremely nervous and frightened. In the desperate situation, they did not dare to move, and their hearts and bodies were all stiff.
This was the critical moment of life and death. It was about the “alternatives” and “a glimmer of hope for survival”, so they must not disturb the two devils outside the Cave of Fate.
Zhang Yunyan and Shikong knew that they had few alternatives and little hope of survival, but they were still in hope.
Even if they had no hope of life, they had their final wish–to die quietly without sufferings.
They were longing, hoping for the “alternative” and “slim chance”, even if it was the last “hope”.
It was their instinctive response before death, as well as the inevitable illusion.
Looking at the devil in front, Turtle Elf was a little relieved that he was not Jiuyou Sage but the Red Hair King Ghost.
The sage defined the searching areas for his men, and each one oversaw their own area. After that, he wanted to search a few missing places, and with no time to find out what caused the sudden sound, he ordered the Red Hair King Ghost to investigate.
Following the loud sound, the Red Hair King Ghost came here. When he saw Turtle Elf, he stopped to ask.
Turtle Elf could not think of other excuses, and it said again that it was hit by the mysterious seal accidentally so that there was a loud sound, hoping to convince the Red Hair King Ghost.
The Red Hair King Ghost believed it when he saw Turtle Elf was sitting on the ground, looking distressed and depressed. The task was finished, and he did not want to stay here. So, he went to other places that he was responsible for.
It was a false alarm. Turtle Elf was no longer nervous, and it was sorry for the deaths of Zhang Yunyan and Shikong. It was reluctant to leave this place, and deep in its heart, it still hoped that its dream would be realized.
Anyway, it could not go now. It must stay here to pray for Zhang Yunyan and Shikong, and wait for the sound inside the Cave of Fate. This was its thought and its only hope.
In the Cave of Fate, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong felt a little relieved. As the Red Hair King Ghost had gone, they could now concentrate on fighting against the evil stone in front of them.
The evil stone stood still there. No one knew what it was thinking about or how it was going to perform its magic. It was terrifying, frightening with powerful magic even when it was motionless. These two people were frightened.
Sometimes when people were in the intense atmosphere, they often could not feel it, because they were too busy to deal with the emotions.
However, in confrontation, the feelings were quite different, especially in the face of a fierce and powerful opponent. The weak would be extremely nervous and frightened.
In the quiet confrontation, both sides were quietly waiting. The sudden attack would soon be launched, and if the attacker began to fight, the victim could only face a tragic ending.
The scene, the atmosphere, and the state of mind were all extremely terrible. The tortures to the mind were more intense, more painful and more unbearable than death. Words such as deadly silence failed to describe such scene.
At this moment, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were in a “quiet” atmosphere, and were tortured “quietly”.
They were enveloped in an atmosphere of extreme terror. They were so intense that they didn’t even feel their own existence and had no time to think about what could be done “next”.
Both of them only cared about the present, not the past or the future. They were terrified for the present.
Time had passed, and the quiet confrontation continued in the Cave of Fate.
Outside the cave, it was still quiet with sad emotions.
The evil stone stood there quietly, ready to attack them violently.
Staring at the monster quietly, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were tortured “quietly”…
Outside the Cave of Fate, Turtle Elf was sitting on the ground, deeply immersed in grief. It was unable to pull itself up…
After a long time, they were still in confrontation. They were tense and were almost on the edge of breakdown.
Shikong was a monk who had been cultivating well, and he was able to concentrate for a long time. He could still stabilize his body and mind during observation and waiting.
However, Zhang Yunyan was getting more and more impatient. When would such interminable confrontation stop?
She did not want to be tortured endlessly, and could not bear it any longer. She wanted to change and end the situation as soon as possible. Even if it was a dramatic change or a tragic result, she hoped that it would stop in an instant.
Whose fault was it that led to this tragic result?
Zhang Yunyan first thought of the hateful sika deer and the insidious old witch. She began to curse them secretly in the heart.
Had it not been the sika deer who took her and Black Tiger to the Qinglong Mountain, she would not have encountered Jiuyou Sage and Four King Ghosts, Black Tiger would not have died, and she would not have fallen into the Devil’s Cave.
If the old witch had not been asked by Jiuyou Sage and the devils to come to the Qinglong Mountain, she would not have been plotted against by her, and then been pushed into the Devil’s Cave for the devils.
Yunyan let out a few sighs, venting her anger and despair in the heart.
At this time, it was quiet in the Cave of Fate. Zhang Yunyan decided to take the opportunity to explore. Although the situation was dangerous, she was also willing to risk and bear any terrible consequences. She wanted to change and stop the situation regardless of life and death. She just wanted to do it.
