Chapter 195 - Stalemate

Chapter 195 StalemateSince entering the Devil’s Cave, Zhang Yunyan had known that she must die, and she had put her life and death away. At this moment, she wanted to protect Shikong and exchange her life for the survival of her benefactor.

Yunyan knew that no one could survive in the face of a terrible evil bird. Although they would all did, she must die before Shikong. She wanted to protect Shikong at the risk of her life, and would never let her benefactor get hurt before she died.

Zhang Yunyan was not proud of standing up, nor did she feel that she was noble. She had no sense of being a hero.

She could make this kind of behavior, which was simple and innocent. It was not an impulse, but a driving force of gratitude. It was the inevitability of human beings’ nature, and the instinctive reaction before death.

However, simply coming forward was indeed a heroic feat. It was her pure sense, and an unparalleled noble complex, even though she had no cognition about it.

Shikong saw that Zhang Yunyan tried to protect himself at the risk of her life, so he was very grateful, and he shed tears in soreness. However, he could not let his benefactor die tragically, and he immediately flashed aside to prepare for the attack of weird bird.

The weird bird immediately turned to stare at Shikong, ready to cast a horrible hex.

Zhang Yunyan was glaring in angry, and didn’t give in. She hurriedly stopped in front of Shikong. In the face of the terrible evil bird, she didn’t hesitate to greet a fatal blow and then die tragically.

Shikong was very anxious. He persuaded her while dodging, “Miss, please hide yourself. I can still deal with the hex. You must not do it. Quickly, leave me alone and protect yourself!”

“No, I would rather die than let the monster hurt you!”

Zhang Yunyan’s tone was firm and unwavering. She really had a will of steel.

She stared at the weird bird angrily, and did not give in. Her pretty face was stretched and stiff, her eyes flashed with anger, and she was ready for death.

Yunyan was like a tiger with a violent aura. She was like a goddess who was recalcitrant. Her slender body was like a meteorite, steadfastly standing in front of her benefactor. She glared at the fierce monster with the fire of anger in her eyes.

Shikong was excited and his tears were dripping frequently. He must not let a woman die in front of himself, not to mention that her skills were not as good as himself.

Zhang Yunyan glared in anger. She was ready for death and would never stand back.

Both of them were vying and wanted to push themselves to the edge of death, so that the other one could escape from the fatal blow.

Somehow in the face of Zhang Yunyan, who blocked Shikong, the weird bird did not use the hex to attack its prey. The frequency of the fanning of its wings slowed down. It was seemingly observing and hesitating.

Its behavior was a bit weird. How could it let go of the prey that broke into the territory?

Perhaps, it saw two prey trying to protect their companion at the risk of their own life, so it was somewhat moved and was unwilling to destroy two pure lives.

If we say that the evil bird couldn’t bear to be the killer, it would be overestimating its character. How could it suddenly be kind? Perhaps, the monster was surprised, and it was shocked by the fact that they were vying for death, forgetting to attack the two lives.

The weird bird was flying again, circling, thinking, and looking for opportunities to attack. Once it faced Shikong, it immediately cheered up and tried to use hex to attack and kill this outsiders. However, before it made its move, Zhang Yunyan stood in front of Shikong and it had to give up.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were staring at the monster’s every move, ready to deal with the unexpected danger.

Outside the cave, Turtle Elf was very pleasantly surprised but was more fearful and anxious.

It heard the loud noise in the cave and heard the words of a man and a woman. It knew the people who spoke the words were Zhang Yunyan and Shikong. The two human friends were really still alive, and it was surprised and extremely excited.

Turtle Elf heard that its two friends encountered a terrible monster. It was like throwing cold water on his surprise, and it was freezing.

It had hoped that there would be many mysterious things in the Cave of Fate, and hoped that those things of mystery could help Zhang Yunyan and Shikong, so that the two could escape from the evil cave.

Its wish came true, and there was a mysterious thing in the cave. However, contrary to its expectations, the mysterious bird was a harmful thing, not like what Turtle Elf was expecting.

What hid inside were harmful things. It was better to be a common cave with nothing. If there was no mystery, it would not hurt Zhang Yunyan and Shikong.

The reality was cruel, and it would not be changed by the wish of Turtle Elf. The doomed thing was still coming, and what would happen was still going to happen.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were involved, and they could only bear passively.

Turtle Elf was kept out of the cave. He could only be anxious and worried and was unable to help the two friends.

The two people in the cave and the elf outside the cave had no ability to stop the disaster and there was no way to change the danger of terror.

Turtle Elf was both nervous and anxious, and its fearful heart hung up. It was praying, hoping that God could protect Zhang Yunyan and Shikong, so that the two poor young people would not be hurt by the monster.

Turtle Elf didn’t move. It listened to the sound from the Cave of Fate, and never let go of any noise, so as to judge the danger and consequences.

It didn’t dare to ask the situation again, fearing to distract Zhang Yunyan and Shikong, causing them misfortune.

In the Cave of Fate, the weird bird was hovering. Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were staring under the wall, always guarding against the monster’s attack.

The horrible atmosphere filled every corner of the cave. Killing was terrible, and it would happen at any time. Once the hex was applied, it would be like a storm, and it would destroy two lives in an instant.

The weird bird hovered in the air and directly faced Shikong. It was rapidly flapping its wings, accumulating power quickly, and the shocking hex was going to break out.

Zhang Yunyan immediately rushed to the front of Shikong. She clenched the Magical Dragon Sword, ready to confront a fatal blow. She would use her life to protect her benefactor.

The sorrowful and angry heroine glared at it, and the sly goddess was facing the violence of the monster. She was to make the final stroke, and then to end her life.

Shikong wanted to push Zhang Yunyan away, but she stood still like a rock. Shikong had to step aside, and the goddess quickly stopped in front of him. He had no way to avoid his benefactor. He was both anxious and helpless.

Excited, Shikong wiped away his tears and looked at the weird bird with anger, and was always prepared to fight against the hex. Even if he died, he would never let his benefactor lose her life.

The weird bird did not attack, the vibrating wings slowed down, and the restless emotions eased. It continued to hover, observing, thinking, and looking for opportunities.

The horrible weird bird, the horrible strangeness, the horrible hex…all showed the atmosphere of terror.

The monster had not attacked yet. What kind of malicious idea was it thinking of? How would it demonstrate its evil power?

The evil bird stopped and was ready to attack, but Shikong was blocked by Zhang Yunyan again. It had to give up and continue to hover, looking for opportunities. It stopped again and hovered again and it didn’t move.

What was the evil bird thinking? Since it wanted to destroy the two lives entering the Cave of Fate, why didn’t it do it?

It seemed to be somewhat helpless, and it was so reluctant that it kept flying and looking for opportunities to attack.

The behavior of the evil bird was really weird and puzzling. They couldn’t be doubtful. It repeatedly hovered and flew, seemingly to avoid Zhang Yunyan to face Shikong. Why was this?

It seemed that it only wanted to attack Shikong and to put him to death. It didn’t seem to want to hurt Zhang Yunyan. At least it didn’t want to start with her first.

Why was that? Was it because Zhang Yunyan was an ordinary woman, so it thought little of her? Did it hate the people of Buddhism, or prefer men? Or was it its need to take the man’s life first?

The weird bird was really strange, and even its behavior was so weird, strange and incomprehensible. Perhaps, there were still many mysterious things that were not exposed about the bird, and it had not shown more magical and strange behaviors.

It’s mysterious. Even the monster was so mysterious and strange. The sealed cave was even more mysterious.

The Cave of Fate seemed to be a common cave with nothing inside, and the appearance of the weird bird smashed the illusion. Inside, there must be hidden terrible secrets. It was very likely that many monsters and traps were set up and would appear one after another. They had only one purpose, that is, to destroy the outsiders that broke into the forbidden land.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong had seen the unusual behavior of the weird bird. They were deeply puzzled. It insisted on staring at Shikong and killing him, but it was unbelievable that it ignored Zhang Yunyan.

Was it only able to see male, not female?

No, every time the weird bird wanted to attack Shikong, Zhang Yunyan was in front of him, and then it went away. It could be seen that it saw the woman who protected the man, and had to find another opportunities.

As for why it let go of the woman and had aimed at the man, they didn’t know.

In this regard, the two of them had already understood but could not explain the reason. In any case, the evil bird’s behavior became some help. Zhang Yunyan felt relieved and just used the monster’s preferences to protect her benefactor.

Shikong also understood, and he was no longer worried about Zhang Yunyan’s safety. His anxiety was slightly relieved. He no longer vied with Zhang Yunyan for confronting the monster, but he still stared at the weird bird and was always ready to fight back.

Zhang Yunyan knew that the weird bird would not stop because its purpose of killing had not been completed. It was waiting for the opportunity in preparation, and it had to kill them.

She was very nervous and doubted. It seemed that the bird was not in hurry to kill them. What was it waiting for?

Yunyan made up her mind and stared at the weird bird without a blink, in order to protect her benefactor Shikong. She was ready to meet the monster’s attack.

The weird bird was hovering, accumulating strength, and looking for an opportunity to attack.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were nervous. They didn’t dare to relax. They were ready to fight with the monster.

In the Cave of Fate, it was dark and horrible. The silence seemed to have frozen the air, making people hard to breathe.

Outside the cave, the wind screamed, and the stinky evil air was reverberating. With the shouts, a fierce man flew here.

Turtle Elf was shocked, its body and mind trembled, and it was very nervous. Its fearful heart immediately came up to its mouth.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong heard the shocking changes outside the cave. They knew that the devil had come here again, and the two fearful hearts beat quickly.

The situation had suddenly changed, and internal and external attacks had made them unable to defend. At this moment, whether they would be attacked by the evil bird or the devil outside, it would be terrible and the consequences would be unimaginable.

What should they do? Could the devil discover their hiding place?
