Chapter 178 The Mystery of the Key Place (2/2)
Hearing this, Zhang Yunyan thought since this place was important for them, it was not ordinary. What could be in it? What was flashing?
She looked back at Turtle Elf who was shocked and motionless, still looking at the shining hole.
Looking inside from the hole, there was no word of fate, but something that kept shinning. Maybe there was an unknown secret.
In suspicion, a word flashed across Yunyan’s mind--“baby”, and she was surprised. Was there any treasure in it? Was it really a treasure shining?
Jiuyou sage had been cultivating for such a long time and his skills were so strong that maybe he had also refined treasures. But it was uncertain whether it was in this cave.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunyan was tempted to explore and get the treasure.
Turtle Elf was nervous and scared. Hearing the roaring of devils and the screaming of wind, it was more nervous, and it kept urging Yunyan to leave quickly.
Driven by a strong desire, Zhang Yunyan was in a mixed mood. She thought fast without moving.
She would like to go in and have a look. If there was a magic treasure, it may help her resist the devils and escape from the terrible “Hell”. Even if she couldn’t escape, she could fight with the devils with the help of the treasure.
In order to survive and to die peacefully, Zhang Yunyan couldn’t let go of any chance. She had to go and have a look. With only a short time in this dangerous place, she must go in and go out very fast. Even if she found nothing, she could not cause any trouble.
Yunyan was determined and she said, “Turtle Elf, I’ll go in to have a look, and I’ll come out very quickly!”
Ignoring Turtle Elf’s warning, she came into the cave before she finished her words.
Seeing that Zhang Yunyan insisted on going inside, Turtle Elf was so worried that it shook its head and sighed. It kept urging her while checking around.
Suddenly, Zhang Yunyan appeared at the hole again, waving to Turtle Elf and whispering, “Turtle Elf, come on, there is a man in it!”
A man? Turtle Elf was surprised, and its gut reaction was that the man was the devil!
It immediately denied the guess and thought that it would not be those guys, otherwise they would have come out and caught them, and would never let them escape, especially Yun Feiyan who had already entered the hole.
Turtle Elf was suspicious that in this important place, how could there be a man? It was hard for Turtle Elf to believe since there was no outsider in the cave except Zhang Yunyan. Who was that person?
It was very clear that this was the important place of the Devil’s Cave with demonic traps, and no outsiders could enter.
Zhang Yunyan was still waving eagerly, urging it in a low voice, “Turtle Elf, come in and have a look. He is a young man.”
Young man? Turtle Elf was more surprised. How could there be a man in it?
Its question was solved and it ran immediately to see what was going on without any concern.
Indeed, there was a man lying on a big flat stone, and this person was really a man.
Lying on his back, he was motionless with eyes closed. This man was wearing splendid attire, as well as valuable accessories and diamond rings. At first sight, he was not an ordinary person, and his family must be very rich.
The big stone was shining with dim light, which did not bring much light to the cave.
In the dark, Zhang Yunyan and Turtle Elf could not see the man’s face clearly, but they could feel that he was a young and handsome man with a strong body.
Yunyan was very puzzled and she asked, “Turtle Elf, who is this person? How come he is lying here? Have you seen him?”
She wondered the relationship between the man and those devils and blurted out immediately. She wanted to know the answer.
Looking at the motionless man, Turtle Elf said, “Well, I haven’t seen this man. Who is he? There were no outsiders or any men in the cave. How did he lie here? When did he come in?”
Seeing that even Turtle Elf didn’t know this man, Zhang Yunyan felt he was more mysterious. This man must be the young master of a rich family, who was caught by the devils rather than their accomplice. It was out of Zhang Yunyan’s expectation that such a rich man had also been caught. Money couldn’t get people out of misfortune.
Turtle Elf was very confused, but it also thought of something, and it said, “Oh, I remember that he may be the man who was caught. The Sage had no time to deal with him, so he was locked here.”
Zhang Yunyan didn’t agree with it, “No, those devils didn’t catch anyone. I saw it clearly when I was on the mountain.”
“You misunderstood. I’m not talking about tonight. By the way, last time you came here, the Sage had caught a man. That man must be him.”
Hearing Turtle Elf’s words, Zhang Yunyan was shocked, “Last time. You mean he is the little monk? He is not dead yet? No, it’s been more than 20 days. How could he still be alive?”
Yunyan was surprised and couldn’t believe it. After such a long time, Shikong couldn’t be alive. His lifesaver had been killed by the devils. How could he be lying here without getting hurt? This man couldn’t be him.
Who was this man? Was there anyone else who had got caught?
