"Brilliant! Brilliant!" A familiar yet gentle voice entered Ye Zhuozhuo's ears, messing up his messy thoughts.

Ye Zhuozhuo slowly opened his eyes. He only felt that his head was still heavy, the first person he saw was Mu Lingxi.

"Where are we?" She looked around at the pitch-black walls of the mountain. If it wasn't for Mu Lingxi by her side and her falling into such a predicament, she probably wouldn't know what to do.

"We're at the Spirit Beast Mountain Range." Mu Lingxi explained to her.

Ye Zhuozhuo reached out and lightly knocked on his head, and then slowly thought back to what happened before he fainted.

She remembered that she and Prince had originally been waiting at the same place for Big Brother's return, but then accidentally encountered a High Ranked spirit beast, so she could only flee along the way. As a result, she lost track of direction and fell into an even bigger tiger's mouth.

The two of them spent a huge amount of effort to escape from the pile of High Ranked spirit beasts and were forced into the cave, which was hard to exit from, before Ye Zhuozhuo finally exhausted himself and fell into a coma.

When he woke up, the surroundings were still pitch black. He simply had no idea how many hours had passed.

"It's over, A Xi, are we … We can't get out? " Ye Zhuozhuo frowned, he tightly gripped onto Mu Lingxi's arm, and asked with some worry, "Big brother and Ruo Ruo, did they encounter some sort of danger as well?"

"Don't worry, with your brother here, nothing will happen to the two of them." Mu Lingxi consoled her as he raised his head to look at the surrounding tightly sealed walls. He could not find even a single exit, nor was there a single speck of light.

If he went back the way he came, it would be equivalent to being trapped in water again. But now, it seemed like it wouldn't be an easy thing to find another safe exit!

"Why is it so dark? I can't see anything anymore." Ye Zhuozhuo fumbled about and slowly got up. He could not even see his fingers when he stretched out his hand, and only in this kind of environment, could he taste the taste of despair.

Mu Lingxi immediately embraced her body, and pulled her small body into his embrace, "Don't worry, I'm right beside you. Shining, don't be anxious.

After listening to his comforting words, the helplessness and disappointment disappeared like a wisp of smoke. "En!"

No matter what kind of predicament she was in, as long as A Xi was by her side, she was not afraid of anything.

The two of them cuddled together and slowly walked forward. Mu Lingxi lit up a weak flame in order to barely see a little bit of light, even though the light was insignificant.

"Shining! Slow down! There are steps in front of us!" Mu Lingxi sensed the stairs and immediately reminded her.

The next second, the stone walls around them started to move. The sound was extremely loud, and the huge rocks on both sides started to press towards the center at an extremely fast speed.

Mu Lingxi's hands were quick, he anxiously pushed Ye Zhuozhuo out of the room and into a safe place, his other hand blocking the incoming stone wall, and in that moment, he was forced into a corner.

"A Xi!" Ye Zhuozhuo was suddenly anxious.

"Shining, don't come over. Run further away!" Mu Lingxi was afraid that the giant boulder would hurt her, so he hurriedly warned her loudly.

At this time, his arm was almost unable to hold on. Blood was flowing out from his elbow, and the stone wall was also getting closer and closer.

Ye Zhuozhuo saw this and thought anxiously, "A Xi, I'll help you!"

"Don't come near me, don't come near me!" Mu Lingxi concentrated and used all of his strength to smash a piece of the stone wall into pieces. Then, he turned around and hugged Ye Zhuozhuo as his eyes lightly flashed past.

The two had just escaped from each other when the two stone walls slammed into each other. If their reactions had been a bit slower, they would have been crushed into a pile of flesh and blood.

"A Xi, are you alright?" Ye Zhuozhuo acted as if he was shocked and immediately hugged Mu Lingxi's body. Seeing his arm bleeding profusely, he felt his heart ache.

"It's nothing. It's just some superficial wounds." On the other hand, Mu Lingxi comforted him, "This cave is filled with danger, you have to follow me closely, and don't lose a single step!"

Mu Lingxi currently had a five star Heavenly Spirit Master. With this kind of strength, in the entire empire, he could be considered strong.

However, after entering this Spirit Beast Mountain Range, he didn't dare slack in the slightest. Within this Spirit Beast Mountain Range, there were too many hidden unknowns;

However, no matter what, he had to protect it well. Even if he was going to die, he had to bring it out safely.

"I'll bandage your wound first." Ye Zhuozhuo took out a bandage and some medicine from the Storage Ring and carefully helped him bandage his wound.

It was rare for Mu Lingxi to see her treating him so warmly. He was quite happy in his heart, happy to the point that he felt like a fool.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing him smile, Ye Zhuozhuo could not help but feel that it was strange, "You're so happy when you're injured?"

"Yeah, I'm just that happy." Mu Lingxi did not deny it.

"What an idiot." Ye Zhuozhuo laughed and scolded, "Alright, let's continue walking!"

Mu Lingxi nodded, then embraced her body, causing the two of them to laugh and talk along the way, it was rather lively.

On the other side, Su Xiruo and Helian Yunqian had found the entrance to a cave. The atmosphere at the entrance was cold and weird.

Outside the cave, there were also a few Mercenary Group s hovering about, but none of them dared to enter.

"General Helian, the aura you felt just now, was it coming from this cave?" Su Xiruo looked at the weird atmosphere of the cave and felt a kind of panic.

"Yes." Helian Yunqian did not deny it, "I feel … "There might be a lot of danger hidden inside, why not …"

"I'll go in with you!" Su Xiruo knew what he wanted to say, and rejected him flatly, "If you don't think I'm too much of a burden, bring me along!"

As for her burning safety, there was no way for her to ignore it.

"Alright, let's go in together." Helian Yunqian naturally respected her thoughts and agreed.

Therefore, Su Xiruo followed behind him. Just as he was about to enter the cave, the mercenaries at the entrance reminded him:

"Both of you, don't go in. The inside is filled with bones. If you go in, you'll be courting death!"

"That's right, you must not enter!"

Su Xiruo turned to look at them, but did not say anything and followed Helian Yunqian in.

Although she could guess that there were many dangers inside, she had to go this time.

Along the way, they saw countless bones. Indeed, it was as the people outside said. Who knew how many corpses were buried in this place?

Suddenly, the two of them heard the sound of weapons clashing and miserable screams not too far away. It seemed like there were a lot of people entering this place, and there must be a lot of extraordinary items hidden inside.

But right now, the two of them did not even think about getting any rare items, all they wanted to do was to quickly find Brilliant and Mu Lingxi.

Helian Yunqian turned around, gently told her to be careful, then quickened his pace and followed her.

There were tons of people piled up in front of them, with less than half of them still alive. There were dead and injured, and the mechanism had continued to shoot concealed weapons and poison arrows, carrying a strong Spiritual Strength.

As a result, he could only stand at his original spot and raise his guard, not being able to take a step forward.

Su Xiruo turned around and looked at the road behind him, it was actually sealed, which meant, if they did not pass through this road, they would have died here today!

Just at that moment, she suddenly heard a movement, and when she came back to her senses, there was already a hidden weapon that was silently approaching her face, but before they met, Helian Yunqian had cut it off with two fingers.

Following that, he helped Su Xiruo block no less than ten hidden arrows. It was practically an instant, even with her extremely sharp Heavenly Spirit Master, she was unable to defend completely.

Only now did Su Xiruo realize that he could not be that careless. Otherwise, if he was distracted for even a second, he might lose his life.
