As we go deeper step by step, the fog in the Falling Moon Illusion becomes thicker and thicker.

Ye Feng and Ahri cautiously walked in the forest where they and Fiona had walked, their eyes looking around for fear that a huge humanoid monster would emerge from it.

"Ahri, do you really feel that the boy's breath is in this direction?" Ye Feng frowned and asked.

Ahri was stunned for a moment, then his face froze, and he said solemnly: "Ye Feng, please believe me!"

After sucking Ye Feng's blood just now, Ahri once again confirmed that Ye Feng did indeed have the same aura as the boy. Although she didn't know what the relationship between the two was, she had subconsciously regarded Ye Feng as more important. If he didn't trust her, it would make her feel bad.

Ahri's solemn expression made Ye Feng touch his nose in embarrassment, and said, "I just asked, I didn't believe you."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, the corners of Ahri's mouth curved slightly, and he said with relief: "I'm sorry, maybe I was too nervous and misunderstood what you meant."

After speaking, she sensed the young man's breath with the help of Ye Feng's blood that she had just absorbed in her body.

Ye Feng originally wanted to say a few words to ease the dull atmosphere. But when he saw Ahri's focused appearance, he swallowed back the prepared words and silently followed Ahri.

Bang bang ......

Suddenly, his heart seemed to sense something, and Ye Feng trembled. A wave of fear and uneasiness from the depths of his heart welled up in his heart, and Ye Feng subconsciously took a step back. His feet were like lead, and he instantly collapsed to the ground, his face pale.

Ahri, who was walking in front, suddenly heard the sound of Ye Feng falling behind him, and hurriedly gathered his mental sense, and turned around to Ye Feng, who was a little confused.

She supported Ye Feng, who was sitting on the ground, and said nervously, "What's wrong with you, Ye Feng?"

Although Ye Feng's thinking was a little confused at the moment, he was still sober. He gasped for a few breaths, and gradually stabilized his crumbling form with Ahri's support.

Feeling the inexplicable fear from the depths of his soul, Ye Feng replied with difficulty: "It's just that I suddenly felt inexplicable fear for some reason, as if something was calling me in the place we went deep, and now it's much better."

Listening to Ye Feng's reply, Ahri looked at his face nervously. Seeing that his pale face at the beginning gradually warmed up, it shouldn't seem like a fake.

However, Ye Feng's words just now made Ahri's heart rise a little uneasy, and it also confirmed that Ye Feng and the boy had a complex and close relationship.

What if Ye Feng had an accident because of her insistence? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she even had a plan to retreat.

If the price of finding the boy was to sacrifice Ye Feng, she would rather not continue the pursuit. Isn't the purpose of her life until now to repay her kindness? But in order to repay the young man's kindness, she hurt another person who was kind to her, and it was better not to repay the favor.

With a decision in his heart, Ahri bit his red lips, and his eyes flashed: "Ye Feng, if we don't look for it, go back to the city and let Kiran take us back to Valoran."

Ye Feng didn't expect Ahri to give up suddenly, he wanted to respect her choice, but when he saw the complicated expression on her face, he changed his mind.

"How can you give up here so easily? You've been waiting for him for more than 200 years, and I'm fine! After speaking, in order to prove that he was fine, Ye Feng grinned.

Ahri naturally saw Ye Feng's idea of taking care of her, and her heart was quite moved. Her eyes were slightly flushed with a faint wave of water, the tip of her nose was sour, and she choked up: "But you ......"

Ye Feng stood up with difficulty, and a smile appeared on his somewhat pale face: "Don't do it, I also want to see what the young man who has made you wait for more than two hundred years looks like."

Seeing that Ye Feng insisted on helping her, Ahri had mixed feelings in her heart. She looked at his slightly pale face with a complicated look, and with a meek "um", she turned into a white fox and jumped into his arms.

Ahri, who turned into a white fox, curled up in Ye Feng's arms and said, "Ye Feng, hold me, I'll show you the way."

Ye Feng also liked Ahri's appearance of turning into a white fox, he gently stroked her soft white hair, and walked forward according to her instructions.

After going some distance deeper, Ye Feng obviously felt that the fear in his heart was getting deeper and deeper, and even produced feelings of powerlessness and despair.

Ahri, who was curled up in Ye Feng's arms, also clearly felt the changes in Ye Feng's body, and her cute fox eyes revealed a trace of worry.

"Ye Feng, forget it, right? I don't want to put you in danger because of my business. ”

When Ye Feng heard this, he shook his head stubbornly. He walked forward for a moment, and a glittering cavern appeared in his view.

He looked at the strange cave in front of him and asked, "Is there the breath of that young man in this cave?"

Ahri used the blood of Ye Feng in his body to sense it slightly, and he felt that there was a boy's breath in it. She jumped out of Ye Feng's arms excitedly, transformed into a human body again, and took the lead into the cave.

Ye Feng saw Ahri walk in, and he also followed, who was worried that something would happen to her. Walking into the cave, Ye Feng found that this seemingly small cave on the outside was actually huge on the inside.

And what made him even more shocked and frightened was that there were huge humanoid monster corpses lying scattered in it. These monsters are the same as the monsters that attacked them in the first place, as if they were carved out of a mold.

He glanced at the corpses of these monsters with trepidation, and then looked at Ahri, who was standing in front of him in a daze. Seeing that she hadn't come back to her senses for a long time, he gently patted her on the shoulder and whispered, "Ahri?"

Under Ye Feng's reminder, Ahri came back to his senses. Rescuing the shocked look on her face, she looked at the monster corpses everywhere in a complicated manner.

Ye Feng cautiously observed Ahri's expression and asked, "Is there him in these corpses?"

Ahri naturally understood what Ye Feng said that he was referring to the young man, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "The corpses of these monsters should be the villagers of that village, and I haven't sensed the breath of the young man at the moment, he ...... Probably deeper. ”

Feeling uncomfortable and incredulous, Ahri voiced her uneasy speculation. She took a step, skimming over the corpses and walking briskly towards the deepest part of the cavern.

Ahri's expression made Ye Feng very uneasy, and he also felt that something was calling to him in the depths of the cave. He gritted his teeth, but kept up with Ahri.

Soon, Ye Feng followed Ahri to the deepest part of the cave. In the deepest part, a desiccated, flesh-and-blood corpse leaned against a stone wall. His hands and feet were firmly held by chains, as if he had been trapped alive here.

Ye Feng didn't know why, and a faint sadness rose in his heart. It was obviously the first time he had seen this corpse, so why did he feel a sense of sadness of sympathy?

He trembled over to the corpse, stretched out his right hand and gently touched it. In just a moment, his soul was pierced like an awl, and the pain was incomparable.

Suddenly retracting his hand, Ye Feng looked at the corpse fearfully. Just now, he also had a hint of delusion. If his hand didn't retract, his soul would be drained by the corpse.

Inadvertently, Ye Feng found that the stone wall next to the corpse was also carved with several Valoran words: I don't want to become a monster.

Whispering these words softly in his mouth, Ye Feng suddenly thought of something. He looked at the human corpse that had not turned into a monster with a complicated look of pity in his eyes.

Just as he was about to get up, Ahri, who had been staring at the corpse in a daze, walked over slowly.

Ye Feng wanted to remind Ahri not to touch the corpse, but the next scene made him dumbfounded.

I saw Ahri kneeling beside the corpse, hugging the corpse tightly and weeping bitterly.

Ye Feng gently pushed Ahri, who was holding the corpse and crying bitterly, but Ahri ignored him and was still crying there.

Frowning slightly, Ye Feng was puzzled in his heart. Why would Ahri hold a corpse and cry bitterly? Could this corpse be the boy?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but gasp. The words carved into the stone wall came to his mind again: I don't want to be a monster.
