This time, Hua Ying did not go down the mountain, but continued to walk into the mountain, walked for several miles, and after finding a safe place in a hidden corner, she escaped directly into the jade pendant.

A few days later.

Between the mountains and forests, the morning mist drifts.

There was a slight moss, and there was a sudden noise on the slightly moist earth. Slowly, the soft soil kept floating up and down, and the cracks widened bigger and bigger, and soon, a hairy head broke through the soil.

The little guy shrugged his nose and sniffed the air outside, and as his body continued to squirm, little by little he came out of the dirt.

The whole body is gray-brown, the fur is stained with wet soil, the small head shows a naïve face, two big teeth are sticking out, it stands up, two small claws on the chest, round like black bean-like small eyes looking into the distance, as if feeling the arrival of spring.

After a while, Xu was tired of standing, and the marmot, which had no fur to hide its fat, crawled back to the ground, and the little one, who had just been dormant for a whole winter, saw the light again for the first time today, and he couldn't wait to find food.

With its sensitive nose, it lies on the ground and crawls constantly, trying to pick up some pine cones on the ground to fill its stomach.

However, after sniffing for a while, the marmot, which had not found any food, suddenly found a quaint gray jade in a corner.

Curious, it stepped forward and picked up the jade with its two paws, and held it up to the sun to shine a light on it, and the jade was engraved with some strange patterns.

It stared at its two small eyes for a long time, and finally brought it to its nose and sniffed.

After a moment of silence, it suddenly grabbed the jade pendant, ran back to the hole it had just opened without looking back, jumped up, and plunged into the hole.

Despite the narrowness of the hole, there is something different underneath, and as the winding passage stretches downward, the marmot crawls into an underground cavern.

The strange thing is that the underground cave here is not dark, and the surrounding cave walls are inlaid with some ores that emit faint fluorescence, which slightly illuminates the small world in the cave.

The marmot crawled in from the passage as if it were home, and climbed to a haystack, first picking up the hay with its two front paws, then putting the jade pendant it had just picked up into it, resting it with a pile of other things hidden underneath, and then covering it with hay again.

After doing this, it clutched its hungry stomach and turned back into the tunnel, ready to return to the surface to forage for food.

Before leaving, the little guy deliberately glanced back at the haystack, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he finally turned around and left.

Then, the underground cavern quickly fell silent, and everything went on as usual, and nothing happened.

As time passed bit by bit, the originally silent underground cave suddenly had a slight movement, and I saw that on the haystack that was originally empty, the space suddenly fluctuated, accompanied by an imperceptible flash of blue light, and a white-haired girl in a black shirt fell to the ground with a thud.

"Oh, something, it's killing me."

Hua Ying had just transferred out of the jade pendant space with her mind, and before she could observe the situation around her, she was suddenly screamed in pain by a hard stone under her buttocks.

She was wondering how she had chosen a piece of flat land before entering the jade pendant, how could there be an extra stone on the ground, and as soon as this idea came to her, she was completely interrupted by the strange scene around her.

"Huh?"

With a burst of surprise, Hua Ying realized that she seemed to be in a closed cave.

No, it's not airtight, there are a lot of tunnels here, on the top of the cave, there are a lot of dirt walls around it, as if they were opened by something, it's very strange.

"Strange, I'm not in the mountains, how did I get here......"

Although he was puzzled, with Hua Ying's wit, he suddenly thought that someone might have moved his jade pendant.

This is entirely possible, after all, even if she hides it in secrecy, it cannot be ruled out that the jade pendant left in place after entering the jade pendant space will be taken away by others.

It's just that in this barren mountain and wilderness, it is usually difficult to meet a big living person for ten days and a half months, where did the person find his jade pendant?

Could it be ...... Not human?

Thinking of this, Hua Ying couldn't care about the stone under her buttocks, and hurriedly stood up and stood on guard.

The cave here is quite large, like the habitat of some kind of large beast, maybe a black bear or something like a beast picked up her jade pendant and brought it back.

However, after being vigilant for a while, Hua Ying found no trace of the beast, and she found that there was no other exit except for those extremely narrow passages.

In other words, this can't be a cave for some beasts, it should just be a rabbit that can burrow, although this hole is a bit too big.

"Whew."

At this point, Hua Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body also relaxed.

She is not afraid of those ordinary beasts in the mountains, but in the past few days when she was healing in the jade pendant space, she read the "Miscellaneous Records of the Immortal Cultivation Realm" and learned a lot about the knowledge of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Among them, the word demon beast, which appears very frequently, makes her pay special attention.

What is a demon beast, that is, a creature that is countless times more powerful than ordinary mountain and forest beasts, and its meaning to ordinary beasts is equivalent to that of a monk and a mortal, and the two are not at the same level at all.

If this was some kind of monster cave, then with her body not fully recovered from her injuries now, she would be absolutely invincible.

Since it's not a demon beast, you can rest assured.

After calming down, Hua Ying finally had time to formally take a look at her surroundings.

It seemed to be underground, because of the strong smell of earth, and the smell of moisture, and a faint light penetrating through the corridor at the top.

The space in the cave is not small, after she stood up, the top of her head was still a lot of distance from the top, and there was no right thing around, and I don't know what creatures dug it out.

Among them, the glowing ores embedded in the walls of the cave caught the attention of Hua Ying, and she stepped forward and used the 'Spiritual Eye Technique' she had just learned to reach for the ore.

It's a pity that these ores are not what she thinks, the spirit stones recorded in the "Miscellaneous Records of the Immortal Cultivation World". In addition to the ability to shine, these ores do not contain a trace of aura inside, and they are just mundane things.

There are no demon beasts or spirit stones, so this cave is really ordinary.

Hua Ying thought that she had accidentally bumped into the cave left by the previous monks, but she never thought that it was just empty joy, there was nothing here except a pile of haystacks and broken stones.

Wait a minute.

Broken stones?
