The cave is deep, narrow and dark.

Ling Xiu and Miao Xiaorui fled all the way, and finally hid in the cracks of the cave, narrowly avoiding the crazy pursuit of the sawtooth tiger.

Due to the narrow entrance to the cave and the large size of the sawtooth tiger, it was impossible to burrow into it, and after wandering for a long time, it could only leave with its blind left eye.

"Whew...... Finally gone!"

Ling Xiu observed for a moment, not sensing the breath of the Sawtooth Tiger, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of exhaustion and the loss of the threat of the evil tiger, Ling Xiu's physical strength was exhausted, and a huge pain surged up to his head, instantly crushing him to the ground.

"Little brother!?Little brother, are you okay?I'm sorry!I'm sorry...... Don't scare me......"

Seeing Ling Xiu falling, Miao Xiaorui was shocked, tears welled up, and her heart was extremely flustered. But she was young after all, and she didn't know what to do. Until now, she has not woken up from the fear just now, and the feeling of being on the verge of life and death will never be experienced by anyone who has not experienced it.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

Ling Xiu was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and his whole person looked very weak. However, with his tenacious will, he tried hard not to let himself pass out, and silently operated the residual internal force in his body.

Seeing that Ling Xiu didn't speak, Miao Xiaorui's emotions gradually calmed down. She looked at the [Boundary Breaking Talisman] she was holding tightly in her hand, then looked at Ling Xiu in front of her, and finally took the Boundary Breaking Talisman into her arms...... She was really scared just now and wanted to leave here directly, but when she thought of Ling Xiu's current state, she felt that she couldn't just leave, at least not now.

......

In the darkness, I don't know how long it took.

As the internal force worked, Ling Xiu's breathing finally became smooth, and his pale complexion became a little more vibrant.

It has to be said that internal force recuperation has a very significant effect on the recovery of internal injuries. Now Ling Xiu had finally regained a little strength and could stand up from the ground.

"Little brother, you ...... Are you alright?"

Miao Xiaorui wiped her eyes and burst into laughter, dispelling the fear in her heart. It seemed that only when following Ling Xiu would the little girl have a sense of security.

Ling Xiu stepped back and wanted to support Miao Xiaorui, who wanted to support him, and said in a cold tone: "You...... Go away!Why do you keep following me?!"

"I don't know. ”

Miao Xiaorui shook her head, she couldn't help but think of the lonely figure that Ling Xiu had left, and she didn't know why she suddenly followed. Maybe they feel pity for each other, or maybe they want to comfort each other...... In short, she cares about each other very much.

"Don't follow me again!"

Ling Xiu's attitude was very indifferent and a little unkind.

Miao Xiaorui didn't react for a while: "Oh, why?"

Ling Xiu was very impatient when he heard this: "What why! How can there be so many whys! Are you annoyed!"

"I ...... I want to follow you. ”

As she spoke, Miao Xiaorui lowered her head slightly.

Ling Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and then he was furious: "Do you know that if you follow me, you'......ll die! I'm a star! I'm a star, I'm an ominous person!"

"You're not, you're a good person, you saved me. ”

Miao Xiaorui suddenly raised her head and looked at Ling Xiu seriously.

Looking at the little girl's sincere eyes, the anger in Ling Xiu's heart dissipated, and then he fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, and only the heartbeat sounded in the dark cave.

......

"Right...... I'm sorry little brother, don't you give birth to it. ”

After a while, Miao Xiaorui weakly apologized, hoping that Ling Xiu would forgive herself.

Ling Xiu's body trembled slightly, but he still didn't speak.

After the destruction of his family, Ling Xiu had already closed his heart, was vigilant against anyone and everything, and refused to show his feelings easily, but Miao Xiaorui's title touched the softest part of Ling Xiu's heart. In a trance, he couldn't help but regard Miao Xiaorui as his sister for a moment, wanting to protect the other party.

This was a complicated emotion, and even Ling Xiu himself didn't know what was going on. In terms of emotional things, he really has too little experience.

Shaking his head, Ling Xiu put aside his distracting thoughts and leaned over to observe the entrance of the cave for a while.

"Little brother, what should we do now?"

Miao Xiaorui had no opinion at the moment, so she had to ask Xiang Yunmu again.

This time, Ling Xiu was not silent, but said in a low tone: "You can't go out, in case that big worm turns back, we will be in danger." ”

Ling Xiu was already smart and clever, but because his mind was overwhelmed by hatred, now that he has experienced the tempering of life and death, his mind has gradually become mature, and his thinking is more detailed.

"That'...... Are we going to hide here all the time?"

Miao Xiaorui looked at her surroundings and felt a little uneasy. After all, she is only a half-grown little girl, and after staying in such a strange and dark environment for a long time, it is inevitable that she will feel nervous and afraid.

Ling Xiu took out a Xuanguang Stone from his arms, and the surrounding environment was immediately illuminated.

"Huh, little brother, what kind of stone is this, and it still glows?"

"Xuanguang Stone, Brother Yun gave it to me. ”

"Oh, that big brother is so nice to you. ”

"Hmm. ”

At the mention of Yun Mu, Ling Xiu's face softened a lot, and his heart was full of gratitude. Immediately, he took a deep breath and carefully surveyed the situation in the cave.

"This cave seems to be a bit deep, let's go in and see if there are any other roads. ”

"Well, I listen to my brother. ”

The little girl nodded obediently, unconsciously grabbing Ling Xiu's sleeve.

Ling Xiu's body stiffened, but there was no expression on his face, and he walked towards the depths of the cave by himself.

......

――――――――――――

On the Immortal Peak, the wind is howling.

In such a harsh environment, there is hardly any living creature in sight, not even dead plants and trees.

Along the way, the Zhenshan Spirit Beast did not come to harass again, and Yun Mu soon reached the top of the mountain.

Looking back, the sky and the earth were dark and lifeless, and there were several figures halfway up the mountain heading towards the top of the mountain.

Most of these are Xuanjiao Xuanshi, and their cultivation realm is not as good as Yun Mu, and the pressure they bear is not as strong as Yun Mu.

They were naturally very curious about the situation on the mountain, after all, in this big cave, only the Immortal Peak had a strange shape and went straight into the sky, maybe there would be something to chance.

Yun Mu frowned, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and only turned his gaze to the surrounding environment.

On the top of the mountain, the wind was fierce, and it hurt to blow on the face. The terrain here is very wide and flat, not at all like a mountain peak, but like a square, and the ground is paved with black tiles, which have rotted under the erosion of time.

Yun Mu walked cautiously and walked to the center of the square, where a huge altar came into view.

This is a blood-colored altar, eight square and eight heavenly pillars, the surface is infected with layers of thick blood scale, and it exudes an ancient and desolate atmosphere against the background of the fog, as if the faith was extinguished thousands of years ago.
