Chapter 24 Dreams Are Hard To Achieve (1/2)
In the demon cave filled with darkness and silence, it was ghostly and horrible. Voices outside came in from time to time but was melted instantly by the atmosphere of horror.
Thinking of the elves who had lost their souls, Zhang Yunyan was both nervous and fearful. On one hand, she was deeply anxious about her terrible end. On the other hand, she also suffered grief for those callous and dull 'walking dead'.
It was so terrible to think about it in this situation. The Black Killer's bottle was so powerful that it should turn living life one by one into a callous and dull 'walking dead'. These 'walking dead' would be driven and used by Black Killer and would die in an alchemy furnace at the end. It was too sad!
It appeared that the precious bottle was indeed the 'unprecedented and unique' treasure. Once it was put into use, no one could be spared. It was so terrible that such a powerful treasure should be possessed by Black Killer, which was also the tragedy of human beings.
Zhang Yunyan was so upset and desperate to think that her soul would be taken by Black Killer tonight, and that she would become one of the 'walking dead' for the demons' amusement and work for them without shame until she became alchemy material.
As unimaginable as the consequence were, she could not escape and fight back, and could only be of service to the demons.
Why was Black Killer eager to go to his big brother? What were the secrets between the two demons? What was the big brother, also a demon, practiced from? How far was his residence? Was it nearby or not?
Zhang Yunyan was thinking that it would be a big urgent event, because the Black Bear Demon was too busy to take away her soul.
She couldn't guess what the demons were doing and was incapable of stopping the harm done to people, so she didn't bother herself with those things anymore. Anyway, she was lucky and slightly relieved to be able to keep her soul for a while and to have self-control.
Zhang Yunyan knew that there was not much time left for her. She could only maintain control of her body before it turned dark, so she must hurry up and escape with her life.
After this short period of time, her whole body would belong to Black Killer. She would be bullied ruthlessly and she would be used for hard labor with those elves until she died without a single complaint.
It was so horrible to imagine such an end. She was of extreme anxiety and desperation.
Zhang Yunyan stared at the callous cave with a silent prayer and wished that the Black Killer went to a distant place without coming back tonight, so that she would have more time to think hard about how to escape.
She was very sad, she had been firmly bound, unable to set herself free, and no one would come here to save her either. So what could she do in such a short time?
Reality was ruthless and she could only stay here, pray and daydream.
Definitely, facing the terrible Black Killer and the 'unprecedented and unique' treasure, Zhang Yunyan had no ability to get out of this predicament, no chance to survive, and had no ability to protect her own soul.
She was helpless and desperate. She could do nothing but wait for Black Killer's return, then lose her soul to become a plaything, and end up dead.
Even if Yunyan could get rid of the ropes, it was still impossible for her to escape because of the Wind Demon and Tortoise Demon guarding the entrance.
These two 'walking dead' were loyal to their duties and their abilities far exceeded Yunyan's. She was incapable of getting through this so she was destined to be trapped in the Black Tiger Hole with the child.
Reality was too cruel. It was as devilishly hard to change this situation.
She was trapped in a desperate situation, but Zhang Yunyan didn't give up yet. She must seek a way to escape while she still had her soul.
For her own survival as well as the child's survival, she must struggle to escape. Besides, none of her life vows had been completed, and the mission given by the relatives of the Zhang and Lin Families didn't allow her to die. She must live.
Zhang Yunyan knew she had a very short but extremely precious time left. She was supposed to hurry up and find a chance to survive, wasting no time.
She racked her brains and decided to make her final effort to escape from this danger before dark. Otherwise, there was no chance of survival at all and she was sure to die with the child after Black Killer came back.
