Chapter 24 Dreams Are Hard To Achieve (2/2)
She was in a desperate situation and was faced with death, with only a short time left for her and the child. No one knew whether she could do it or not.
Zhang Yunyan was a heroine of headstrong character, possessing courage, tenacity, and fighting spirit. All the difficulties she had suffered had formed her tenacious personality and forged her unyielding mind.
Although she was in mortal danger, she didn't give up but instead thought hard about how to change the current situation and longed to escape from the horrible disaster with the child.
Reality was too cruel. Zhang Yunyan's hands and feet were tied and unable to move. There were two scary demons as guards. It was devilishly difficult for her to break through the guards and escape from the cave.
This dark and silent Black Tiger Hole was enveloped in a ghostly and horrible atmosphere, leaving a chill.
At this moment, the situation was extremely serious. Everything was so callous and full of endless pain and anxiety that she was terrified.
Except for her and the girl, not even a tiny insect lived here. It was an utter wasteland without a doubt.
Zhang Yunyan stared at the dark cave with sadness in her heart. She would never let her soul get taken away by the Black Killer, never let herself get bullied by demons, and never wait for death here.
Moreover, there was a poor child with her and there were her unfinished vows, so she must live.
However, the reality was terrible. Zhang Yunyan had no ability to escape and she failed to change the situation in the face of reality. It would be an idiotic dream to escape from the Black Tiger Hole guarded by the Tortoise Demon and Wind Demon.
She was eager to escape but her wonderful wish was unrealistic as a fable because her road to survival had already been ruthlessly blocked. It was extremely difficult to survive in this condition.
In spite of this situation, the heroine didn't give up. As long as she was still alive, she would rack her brain to find a way to escape from the horrible 'hell' before it turned dark.
Otherwise, Yunyan's dream would be shattered, which meant that she would not only die here, but also be ravaged ruthlessly. She would die with great sadness and misery.
Once her soul was lost, it was equivalent to death. She would never realize her lifetime vows and would never fight for her mission and ambition in this life.
Looking at the child beside her, Zhang Yunyan felt grieved that the little child would be killed by the demon. What a pity!
She was very anxious and sorrowful. She must escape for the sake of the child, and would never let this young life get killed by the Black Killer.
The boy was terrified and had a blank stare. No one knew what he was staring at and maybe he meant to stare at nothing.
At this time, he stopped crying. Maybe he was tired or his little mind was comforted temporarily because he got some support when he stayed with Zhang Yunyan.
Zhang Yunyan sighed and asked, ”Little boy, what's your name and how old are you?”
The child looked at her and said timidly, ”My name is Iron Egg. I'm five years old. Aunt, I'm afraid...”
”Iron Egg, don't be afraid. Aunt is with you and I will protect you.” She comforted him, trying to make his innocent mind less afraid.
Yunyan found that the child was staring at her, his frightened eyes full of longing. As if his eyes were piercing her soul, which hurt her.
She must face up to the reality that she had no ability to protect the child, no ability to take the child escape from here, and Iron Egg would eventually die in the hands of Black Killer.
