Chapter 197 - The Danger Continued (1/2)
The dangerous situation was horrible and threatening. Frowning, Turtle Elf looked at Jiuyou Sage, and its heart almost jumped out of its throat. It dared not to urge him, and was worried that the old devil might be suspicious because of its slip of the tongue.
It could only wait. Looking at the mysterious entrance, it hoped that there would be no flash and noise in the Cave of Fate, and Jiuyou Sage would soon leave so that the dangerous situation might come to an end.
At the most critical moment, Turtle Elf was unable to make the decision, and it could only pray. It didn’t know what would happen, and what kind of dangers would break out.
Turtle Elf dared not to think of the terrible consequences, and they could only be arranged by the fate of Zhang Yunyan, Shikong and its own.
In the Cave of Fate, the two sides were still in a stalemate.
The weird bird did not want to let go of the prey that broke into the forbidden land, and it was still hovering above, looking for a chance to attack.
Zhang Yunyan dared not to be slack, and she was standing in front of Shikong nervously with eyes glued to the weird bird. She would not give any chance to the bird to attack him.
Of course, her preparation was unnecessary, and it was her psychological defense mechanism, and her gut reaction. With no ability to fight against the terrible magic, she could only be attacked.
Nevertheless, she still thought that perhaps the weird bird would not attack a woman, and she could prevent it from performing magic so that Jiuyou Sage outside would not be disturbed.
Shikong was very nervous and anxious. He focused on every move of the weird bird, ready to fight with it, and resist the bird’s attack.
Of course, if the weird bird really started to move, he had no time to care about the old devil outside, instead, he must concentrate to deal with it.
At this moment, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong had to guard against the weird bird as well as pay attention to Jiuyou Sage, in case of any change. In the critical moment of life and death, they were both anxious and scared, and dared not to relax their vigilance.
Outside the cave of Fate, the wind was whistling in all directions, and the roars of the Red Hair King Ghost and his brothers sounded constantly, which scared the frightened hearts.
Pacing back and forth in front of the entrance, Jiuyou Sage was wandering and thinking. He didn’t want to leave for the time being.
Turtle Elf was nervous and it was struggling to conceive of a plan. It sometimes looked at Jiuyou Sage and sometimes the entrance, feeling terrified and nervous. Sweating, it was worried that something unexpected might happen in the Cave of Fate, and then disturb the devil and cause trouble.
Finally, Jiuyou Sage paused to look at Turtle Elf, and no one could know what he was thinking about.
The old devil thought for a moment and said, “We have searched the cave for so long, but we found no trace of the woman, which is suspicious. I want to change my way, and stop searching for her so blindly. It will not ensure the result and instead, she would get alert and find chance to hide.”
Not knowing what Jiuyou Sage was thinking, Turtle Elf was still nervous. It hoped that he would quit. It asked, “Sage, should we stop searching?”
“No, we should not stop. Instead, we must make more efforts. The woman must be caught. She is a great supplement, and a beauty like a flower. She is a treasure for free.”
Turtle Elf sighed secretly. This old devil would not stop. What should it do?
Jiuyou Sage said, “Divide the jobs with Red Hair King Ghost and his brothers. Each one takes care of their own part, and there can be no room left. You must search for her constantly, and leave no chance for that woman to rest. Force her to run around and have nowhere to hide. Besides, don’t make this a big deal. You need to keep it quiet. Don’t disturb the woman. She won’t know where we are, or where she can hide. Sooner or later we will find her.”
Turtle Elf felt amazed secretly. If Yun Feiyan and Shikong were still hiding in the cave, they were doomed to get into the trap, and they would soon die.
As its two human friends had already taken refuge in the Cave of Fate, it felt slightly relieved. Then, it deliberately asked, “Can this work?”
“There should be no problem. Let’s try.” Jiuyou Sage said, “Turtle Elf, now that you are here, take charge of this place. If you see that woman, catch her at once, and remember to report anything suspicious.”
Turtle Elf let out a sigh of relief, because this arrangement made no difference to these two people in the Cave of Fate, and they could still see each other and make discussions at any time. With the division of tasks, the devils would no longer visit here, which was safer.
It replied, “Sage, you can rest assured that I won’t give that woman any chance. If she runs here, she will be caught at once. Sage, since you have already made a plan, we must make sure the Red Hair King Ghost and his brothers guard each place as soon as possible lest the woman runs away.”
Jiuyou Sage came to the entrance of the Cave of Fate, and began to look around silently. The wall he saw was already familiar to him. He kept listening and thinking. No one knew what he was up to.
Seeing that Jiuyou Sage was so focused on the Cave of Fate, Turtle Elf was panicked, and it was afraid there was a sound inside. Even the slightest sound would alarm the old devil.
It urged him quickly, “Sage, we can no longer delay. We must ask the Red Hair King Ghost and his brothers to work as soon as possible. We can’t let the woman escape! If someone really breaks in to save her, it will be even worse.”
Looking at Turtle Elf, Jiuyou Sage nodded. Then he looked at the Cave of Fate, and then sighed.
He said, “Turtle Elf, you must search here more carefully and leave her no chance to hide. I’m going to order the Four King Ghosts to guard their places and start their search. After that, I’ll go to the places we ignored and see if the woman is hiding there. I hope I can catch her, and I won’t have to fight anymore.” Then, he got up and left.
