Chapter 189 - The Devil Came

Zhang Yunyan looked at Turtle Elf and deeply admired the wisdom of her animal friend. It had experienced thousands of years of practice and had seen much of the world. It was a rare good friend.

In the Devil’s Cave, it was dark. Although they could distinguish various things, they couldn’t see each other’s face.

The three friends who were in trouble gathered together. They didn’t know what each other looked like until now, so they couldn’t remember the image of the good friends.

Shikong had been trapped in the Devil’s Cave for so long, but he had not been killed by Jiuyou Sage but had survived until now. It was a blessing in misfortune. He was very gratified and felt grateful for the help of Zhang Yunyan and Turtle Elf.

Zhang Yunyan was also the same. She was grateful to Shikong. If Shikong didn’t save her, she would already die in the hands of vixen Misty Flower. How could she live until today?

The experience of tonight was terrible and extremely dreadful. It had already hurt three frightened hearts.

The friendship between life and death was very precious, and it had dispelled some pain and despair. They would firmly remember the horrible experience tonight, and these “sharp pain” and precious “friendship” would be with them for a lifetime.

They felt the warmth of friendship and deeply regretted that they were unable to recognize the appearance of their benefactor.

If they were lucky enough to escape from the Devil’s Cave, they would not recognize each other even if they walked towards each other. They couldn’t feel the joy of the reunion with friends, and they couldn’t continue and deepen the friendship between life and death.

In the Devil’s Cave, the screaming wind was getting louder and louder, the stinky smell became stronger, and the terrible screams became clear. It seemed that the devils were approaching here again.

Turtle Elf was interested in the mysterious cave in front of it again, and it would like to know the magical mystery inside.

It asked, “Yun Feiyan, are there any other bizarre things and anything horrible in this cave?”

Although it had already heard Yunyan say that there was nothing inside, it still didn’t believe and was unwilling to believe. There were magical powers inside, along with the magical mysteries, so there should be magical objects and things.

It was still interested in the sealed cave and would like to know if there were other unknown secrets.

Zhang Yunyan smiled bitterly and said, “I haven’t looked at the situation in the cave carefully. I just feel that it is empty. It seems that there is nothing and no terrible objects. And no terrible things happen. Otherwise, the two of us can’t be safe and sound inside.”

Turtle Elf was somewhat confused and said, “Hey, you have been inside for so long. Why haven’t you checked it yet? This should be the first thing to do, but you haven’t done it. What have you done?”

The question of Turtle Elf made sense. However, it didn’t know that Zhang Yunyan had been surrounded by fear, and indeed had no time to look at the details of the cave.

After Zhang Yunyan entered the sealed cave, in order to avoid being chased by the devils, she was very nervous and anxious. She was not in the mood to take care of other things. She only had a blurry impression in the glance and didn’t have time to look at it carefully.

After Jiuyou Sage left, she was deeply surprised and puzzled by the sudden appearance of the monk Shikong, and didn’t think about checking the situation inside the cave.

After she and Shikong explained the situation to each other, they were immersed in rare warmth and care, and didn’t want to disturb the good mood for other things.

Before Zhang Yunyan had time to check the mysterious cave, she was alarmed by the voice of Turtle Elf. Therefore, she couldn’t explain the details in the cave clearly.

The question asked by Turtle Elf also made sense. The things that should have been learned about had not been checked. It was incomprehensible. What did she do?

Yunyan listened to Turtle Elf’s words and blushed. She felt somewhat embarrassed, “I… I was very nervous. How could I check it out…”

She blushed and her heart beat hard. She lowered her head and tried to muddle through, not knowing if she could dispel her friend’s suspicion.

The more Zhang Yunyan thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She stayed with a man for so long. Even though he was a monk, he was also a young man. When a man and a woman stayed together without anyone bothering, what would people think about it?

Yunyan blushed and felt that it was indeed not appropriate that she didn’t check the details as soon as possible, which might cause Turtle Elf to misunderstand.

She secretly complained that the two of them were both extremely nervous. She was a serious woman, and Shikong was an extremely disciplined monk. How could they do anything? Besides, it was a very special time. Her friend really thought about it too much.

To say the least, even if they tried to do something unspeakable, it was not the right time. In the horrible Devil’s Cave, in the pursuit of the devils, how could they be in the mood to do such things?

However, this kind of thing was difficult to explain, and it was not convenient to say something more about it. She could only pretend that she didn’t understand and let it go.

Shikong was calm, he didn’t think of anything as complicated as Yunyan did, and he didn’t think about these irrelevant things.

He said calmly, “Just now, we were suspicious of each other and almost fought. After resolving the misunderstanding, I looked at the cave. In addition to a few large or small stones, there is nothing in the cave. It is an ordinary cave. There is no way out.”

After listening to the words of Shikong, Zhang Yunyan felt that his words were right and appropriate and her embarrassment was eased.

She immediately said, “Yes, fortunately, our misunderstandings have been resolved. In my impression, there is nothing special in the cave, otherwise it would attract attention. You should not think about it again. It is an ordinary cave like other ones, and there’s nothing mysterious. It is really strange. Why was it sealed…”

Turtle Elf did not wait for her to finish. It hurriedly stopped her and urged the two to hide into the cave.

It turned out that the evil wind had blown over and the devils would soon arrive.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong didn’t dare to waste time and rushed to hide in.

At this moment, Jiuyou Sage flew over. The strong evil wind blew with a thick stinky smell. It filled the limited space, which was frightening and disgusting.

Seeing the arrival of Jiuyou Sage, Turtle Elf was secretly surprised, and it glanced at the mysterious small cave. It was very quiet inside, and its tension was eased a little.

“Old turtle, did you find the woman?” Jiuyou Sage stared at Turtle Elf. His twinkling blue eyes showed an eager mood and he looked angry.

“Sage, I already have a name. It’s Turtle Elf.”

“Oh, yes, you have already said that your name is Turtle Elf. I forgot it for a while. Turtle Elf, did you find something?”

“Sage, I have been looking for her in this area, and no signs of suspiciousness have been found. The woman has disappeared and seems to have escaped from the cave. I’m afraid that our efforts will be in vain.”

“No, the cave is tightly closed. She has limited skills and can’t open the hole to escape.”

Turtle Elf said again, “It is hard to say. The woman could come in, and then surely she can get out. As for her skills, we wouldn’t know.”

Jiuyou Sage paused. What Turtle Elf said seemed to make sense. Could it happen that she really escaped?

He still didn’t believe it. According to Red Hair King Ghost, the woman’s practice was insufficient. With ordinary skills, she didn’t have the power to dispel the magic power which sealed the cave. How could she escape?

The old devil changed the topic and asked, “Old turtle… Oh, yes, you are Turtle Elf. It’s going to take me a while to remember it. Turtle Elf, I heard you talking. Who were you talking to?”

Turtle Elf was shocked by the accidental inquiry, and it was overwhelmed, “Talking? I… There is no one.”

“No, I did hear you talking. Who was that?”

In the inquiry, his twinkling blue eyes stared at Turtle Elf as if he could see through the secrets of its heart.

Turtle Elf was a little flustered. In a nervous state, he explained hurriedly, “Oh, I was talking. It was a self-talk. No one else was here, and no one else could be here. I searched nearby and I didn’t find the woman. I was anxious and confused. I was venting my emotions inadvertently. I didn’t think I was heard by you, Sage.”

“Oh, you were talking to yourself? No, it seems that there were other voices.” Jiuyou Sage looked at it, and his blue eyes had a look of suspicion and anger.

Turtle Elf was shocked. It didn’t think that the conversation was heard by the old devil, and it was even more nervous. This was related to the life and death of its two human friends, and also related to its own safety. In any case, it couldn’t let him know the secrets in this cave.

It hurriedly explained, “No, if there was anyone, I would have caught him already, and I wouldn’t be so anxious.”

Jiuyou Sage looked at it. His eyes were fierce and he still doubted. He didn’t speak.

Turtle Elf was very nervous. It didn’t dare to look at the horrible old devil. What it said could only be self-justifying, and also must be impeccable. Otherwise, once the secret of the sealed cave was revealed, not only would Zhang Yunyan and Shikong die, but itself would also be involved and die.

It thought for a little while and hurriedly explained, “Sage, you are a little anxious because we haven’t found the woman, and you are so upset as I am that you have some illusions. Oh, it’s worrying that the woman hasn’t been caught yet. I was also so anxious that I said some nonsense with high and low voice. I let you misunderstand and caused suspicion. This is my fault, please forgive me.”

“Nonsense, was it really nonsense?”

Turtle Elf smiled bitterly, “I have limited skills and am so humble. The words I spoke are naturally nonsense. Sage, you don’t have to take it seriously.”

Jiuyou Sage ignored it and looked at the sealed cave. He frowned, “Turtle Elf, is there anyone in this cave?”

The old devil was staring at Turtle Elf. The blue light was so heart-rending that it seemed that he didn’t believe its explanation, or that he had doubts that it was subconsciously looking at the sealed cave.

Seeing Jiuyou Sage care about this mysterious cave, Turtle Elf became nervous again, and it hurriedly said, “Sage, you have thought too much. This cave has been sealed for a long time, and its magic power is amazing. How could anyone get in and out? Every time I check here, it is quiet, and there is no noise inside. Sage, don’t worry. If the woman didn’t escape from the cave, even if she comes here, she will not be able to get in, and we can definitely find her.”

Jiuyou Sage looked at Turtle Elf, and his eyes still showed a look of doubt.

Turtle Elf was very nervous, its cold sweat was seeping, and it was still eager to think about an idea to be self-explanatory. In any case, it couldn’t let the old devil notice something unusual. Otherwise, its benefactors Yun Feiyan and Shikong would be hurt, and it would be involved as well.
