Chapter 214 - Life on the Line (1/2)
Chapter 214 Life on the LineZhang Yunyan glanced at the jade clenched tightly in her hand. She was unable to get rid of this harmful evil thing, which made her painful and terrified. She sighed silently, thinking nothing and trying to think of herself as dead.
However, after all, she still had life and thoughts. How could she not think about it? She was lost in the thoughts of the past again…
“Boom.” There was a sudden shock, and the Cave of Fate trembled continuously with the sound. The suddenness and dread of the loud noise was terrifying.
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the Cave of Fate. Zhang Yunyan screamed in shock. She stood up with an anxious and fearful expression, and her body and mind were trembling slightly. She held the Magical Dragon Sword in her hand and looked around with her beautiful eyes wide open.
Shikong was also shocked. He stood up and observed around, ready to cope with any sudden change.
It seemed that the concealed controller had finally started, and the moment of destruction had come.
The loud noise passed in an instant, and the Cave of Fate turned to calmness again. It was dim and silent without any sign of activity. The mysterious cave had not collapsed, and there was no sign of destruction.
However, things did change here, that is, the large word of fate on the rock wall and the three shiny words “Cave of Fate” had all disappeared, and the flat rock wall engraved with the handwriting was gone. There, the rock wall became as bumpy as the surroundings, and the four characters were no longer visible.
It was weird. Why was there a loud noise? Why did the loud noise disappear instantly and the cave become calm as before? Why did the four shiny characters and the flat rock wall disappear instantly with the loud noise?
The loud noise passed, and Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were surprised, very nervous and afraid. They thought that the flat rock wall and the shiny handwriting appeared quietly, and then disappeared along with the trembling sound just now. They were deeply puzzled and worried.
The two of them believed that this must be the act of the evil thing, and that the hidden controller was playing tricks secretly.
Their nerves were tense, and they were both surprised and confused. The shiny handwriting existed for such a short time. What was the intention? Was it a precursor to the destruction of the cave?
The shiny handwriting appeared when Zhang Yunyan and Shikong entered the Cave of Fate, and now it disappeared mysteriously, perhaps indicating that this huge and complex cave was about to be destroyed.
It was quiet in the Cave of Fate. The dimness remained, and there were no suspicious signs.
They looked slightly relieved. Frowned, they were looking around carefully and kept thinking.
Outside the cave, Turtle Elf was also shocked. It kept asking about what dangerous thing was happening and whether they were hurt by it.
Zhang Yunyan simply informed it of the changes in the cave, but could not explain the origin of the trembling sound.
Turtle Elf was horrified and relieved to see the two friends being fine.
It was very anxious that the sound was so loud that it would alarm the devils. It had to find a way to deal with it. However, it had already thought about what it could come up with, and it had used all the methods that it could use. What else could it do?
In any case, it must think of ways dealing with the devils, otherwise, they would be suspicious of the Cave of Fate, which would bring danger to Zhang Yunyan and Shikong, and even could endanger its own life.
The Cave of Fate was dark and quiet, and the quietness was terrifying and frightening.
Suddenly, Zhang Yunyan looked at the rock wall in the corner with a surprised expression, “Well, what’s that? Does it seem like a crack? Did the loud noise just now crack the rock wall?”
She immediately became tense, and felt her way with the Magical Dragon Sword in her hand.
Yunyan didn’t go directly to that corner. She was afraid that it was the “millennium messager” who was playing tricks and deliberately set a trap for the two, so she decided to choose an appropriate position to observe first.
Shikong shook his head and ignored, sitting there without moving. The Cave of Fate was sealed tightly. How could there be a crack?
The crack was blocked by the protruding rock wall, and Zhang Yunyan couldn’t see its whole picture. She gently moved towards there and slowly leaned forward, observing without blinking while moving.
The rock wall was indeed cracked, and the gap was wide with light coming out.
Yunyan took a few more steps further and found surprisingly that there was more than a crack. It turned out to be a cave! She was surprised and hopeful, but also more nervous.
Zhang Yunyan no longer cared about whether there were monsters in it. She quickly ran over and then exclaimed excitedly, “Shikong, come and have a look, it’s an entrance to a cave! It’s a cave!”
Hearing the dreamy words, Shikong looked at Yunyan’s blurry figure and smiled bitterly in silence. He felt more sorrowful in his heart. It seemed that the evil air in her body had puzzled his benefactor. He hoped that she would not be controlled by the hex.
He sighed softly and turned his head inadvertently, and was taken aback. The rock wall there really changed, and it looked like a crack. He hurriedly got up and walked towards there.
Zhang Yunyan was very surprised and suspicious, saying, “Shikong, look, this entrance is round, and there is light inside just like the moon. It is the same as the one on the mountainside and the one at the bottom of the cave. They are the same. All of the three entrances are round just like the moon.”
It was weird. How could there be three moon-like entrances in the Devil’s Cave? Besides, they appeared suddenly, but some were accompanied by loud noises, and some showed up in silence.
Zhang Yunyan was deeply puzzled. It was easy to explain the first two “moons” which were opened and sealed by the devils’ hex. But it was different in the Cave of Fate. Jiuyou Sage and the Four King Ghosts couldn’t get in, and they knew nothing about the situation inside, which meant that it couldn’t be the act of them.
It seemed that the “moon” was dug by the reclusive man and was hidden for thousands of years.
