Chapter 216 - Damnit!

When the clothes were dry Ah Chun put them back on. She hated the fact that she only had the one set of clothes. She missed having an interspatial ring that could hold everything and had many sets of clothes for her. For now though at least she was somewhat clean. Ah Chun carried on walking deeper into the cavern.  More days passed and Ah Chun finally heard sounds other than dripping water and the pitter patter of her own feet. The sound she heard was that of rushing water which made Ah Chun excited. If there was rushing water that meant there was an entrance for this water somewhere.

Ah Chun quickened her pace and rushed towards the sound. Although the sound of the flowing water had sounded like it was near, in fact, it was father way than Ah Chun had thought. Even with her running towards the sound of the water it still took almost an hour to reach the source. But in front of Ah Chun's eyes was a large underground river. Ah Chun noticed that one part of the river was flowing down deeper into the ground which gave Ah Chun hope since the other part was coming from a higher elevation. 

"If I follow against the flow I might be able to get out of here." Ah Chun dipped her little toes into the water and shivered. "This water is ice cold! I will go as far as I can on the river bank before going into the water. If my guess is correct this should lead out near the upper regions of one of the mountains in the forest. Judging by the flow of water it should be a lot warmer above ground. The sun is melting the ice and snow which is causing this river." 

Ah Chun quickly made her way up the river bank. She wanted to get out of here as fast as possible so she only stopped to get a few hours of sleep each day. Ah Chun figured that by the time she got out of here she would be deep in the inner section of the forest. Ah Chun was not happy about this discovery but there was nothing she could do about it. She had no choice but to go in that direction in order to reach above ground.  

After a few days, Ah Chun finally saw a glimmer of light. Although small and far into the distance, it was still a sign of an exit. As she got close to the exit the shore she was walking on got smaller and smaller until it was no longer a place for her to walk on dry land. Ah Chun did not have shoes so her little feet at this point were now freezing. Ah Chun shivered as she put her feet that were now red and slightly purple into the water. She could feel a cold breeze enter the from up ahead. This breeze caused Ah Chun to feel chilled down to her bones. Ah Chun wished very much that she had spirit power to ward off the coldness in her body. Each of her steps was as if she was walking on a block of ice as she continued forward. If it was not for the fact that she was a cultivator the bottom of her little feet would have been torn to shreds a long time ago by the sharp rocks that lined the river bed.

Ah Chun was now up to her knees in the frigid water. She already had to take a healing pill in order to ward off frostbite on her feet.  She could already see patches of snow and the dry ground around the mouth of the cavern entrance. She was only a few meters away when her face sank.

*Roar!*

A loud thunderous roar sounded out. And then another but different from the last. The ground under Ah Chun's feet vibrated as the sounds of a battle could be heard coming from outside. "What kind of luck is this!? I finally see freedom from this dark, dingy, cold place, and I can't even leave because of a battle between demonic beast!?" Ah Chun yelled out in anger. She had been freezing her butt off as she made her way through this icy river only to be stuck standing in it while two demonic beasts fought! "Do the heavens not want her to leave this damn cave!?" Ah Chun yelled out.

Just when Ah Chun did not think things could not get any worse Ah Chun's face paled as she felt an enormous pressure weigh down on to her. Gritting her teeth Ah Chun's thoughts were going nuts. "This pressure feels like that of someone from the Deity realm from my past life. But that shouldn't be since this was the mortal world! Or was this world different in this aspect and such powerhouses existed in this world's Mortal Realm!?" 

Ah Chun could not withstand the pressure and was forced down to her knees. The river water was now up to her neck after being forced to kneel down due to the spirit pressure. Ah Chun looked on in horror as she saw a large body come crashing down outside falling right into the river.  The demonic beast in front of her was a huge fiery bird. It looked like the bird she had seen images of in ancient scrolls in her past life. The river surged and a Large wave came rushing towards Ah Chun. The next second she heard a loud voice coming from outside. "Did you think your Pheonix race could stand up to my ancient dragon race!? This day will be the anniversary of your death!" 

The next thing Ahun knew was that she was suddenly hit by the rushing wave. Ah Chun gasped as she took in a bit of water but did not go with it. She quickly forced her self up under the spirit pressure to check her things to find that they were all right. She did not care about the pill bottles but the cultivation method must not be lost! After making sure everything was completely secure. Ah Chun turned to look to see what was happening outside. The next thing she saw was a large reptilian leg come stomping down in on top of the fiery bird. Ah Chun paled once again as she saw another wave of water come rushing at her even bigger than the last! The wave hit her causing her to lose balance and made her fall over. She was now at the mercy of the river!

Ah Chun  struggled to stay above water and swim against the current. She had finally got her self stabilized when she saw a small fluffy looking thing coming straight towards her. She wanted to dodge but the current was too strong she could only yell out "Damnit!" Before the small fluffy looking thing smacked into her head knocking her out!
