Chapter 245: Deep in the Mountain (1/2)
”F***!”
”Get away!”
”AAh! MOVE!”
”Ugh.”
The rocks were falling at rapid rate that the three men were trying their best to escape. The first man was a bit slower and then got pushed back by the rocks towards the beast horde behind it.
The other two waited for a bit more and looking at the rocks before them, they were not in the mood to linger around. Cultivators were powerful, but nature was also very powerful and scary.
Going against nature at their current stage was the same as digging a hole for them to bury themselves.
”Let's report. We can just say that they're buried here.”
”Ok.”
The other man nodded and looked at the formation before looking away, not wanting to stay there any longer.
…
In the cave, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief then slumped on the ground. He had already wasted all of his Qi when he did the last move, so his meridian felt like it was burning because of the empty stream. Thankfully, Nourishing Lake Technique was still operating and helped him to recover his Qi.
Beside him, Princess Lan Yi Hua was not in any better condition. She was panting and sat down on the ground, not caring about her appearance in the slightest bit. In such a dark place with only her and Lin Xiao, who would bother to look at her.
She was tired.
”We should be able to rest for now. However, it'll be saver if we go inside a bit more in case the ceiling falls down.”
Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows. ”I can't move.”
Lin Xiao smiled helplessly and struggled to stand up before lifting Princess Lan Yi Hua in princess carry. She let out a yelp but didn't struggle as Lin Xiao staggered to move deeper in the cave. It was indeed dark, but they were cultivator and after a while, they already could see their surroundings better as if they were in the middle of the day.
”It's quite big,” Princes Lan Yi Hua murmured.
”Let's rest for now.”
”En.”
Taking some medicine pills, the two of them rested in the dark cave in silence. Neither one of them tried to speak to one another as they tried to recover their Qi as fast as possible. It was dangerous to stay in weak state, after all.
Lin Hu was keeping watch but he knew that the place was safe, so he was relaxed. After several hours or probably a day, Lin Xiao finally opened his eyes. He looked towards Princess Lan Yi Hua, who was still meditating then looked around.
'Can you check the place, Lin Hu?'
