Chapter 172 Death Approaching

Stroking Black Tiger, Zhang Yunyan sighed, and her pretty face was tinged with sadness. Being trapped in a terrifying “hell”, she would either die of hunger or get eaten by the devils. It was useless to be drowned in regret and resentment, so she could only accept the harsh reality.

 

Perhaps Yunyan was destined to die here, and she would die in misery. There was no use complaining, and the tragic ending was inevitable.

 

Yunyan still wouldn’t give up, and she was determined to struggle for survival. She looked carefully at the cave, hoping to find something. She was ambivalent to find a way to escape for she was very worried about being noticed by the devils, and did not wait to die.

 

After observing the cave, Yunyan found nothing. She was even more frustrated and sighed.

 

Her actions were also unnecessary. If there had been a way to escape, the Turtle Elf would have told her and taken her away last time, and she wouldn’t have been chased by the devils with nowhere to hide and lost her animal friend.

 

It was understandable that Yunyan was so eager and had been dreaming all along. Whoever encountered this would focus on finding ways to escape with his or her bare life.

 

Death was approaching step by step, and her young life was coming to an end. Zhang Yunyan looked at the dark and quiet cave, feeling very sad and cold.

 

At this moment, with the sound of “Bang”, there was a loud noise, and the ground shook terrifyingly. Suddenly, the “full moon” in the sky disappeared.

 

Yunyan looked at the dark cave, and sighed that there was no way to escape after the unreachable hole was closed. Her hope was completely shattered.

 

Zhang Yunyan was worried about the arrival of Jiuyou Sage and the devils. Holding the Magical Dragon Sword tightly, she looked at the round hole, ready to fight with the devils.

 

After a while, the devils did not appear, and there was still no sound or change in the cave. It seemed that Jiuyou Sage was controlling the opening and closing of the hole deep in the cave, and did not come in person.

 

Zhang Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief. She prayed that the devils did not come out so that she and Black Tiger could stay quietly here, because even if they died like this, it would not be so miserable.

 

Black Tiger lay quietly beside Yunyan, not knowing what pain was and what despair was. In the desperate situation, she didn’t know if it was sad for them and was scared of death.

 

Zhang Yunyan was not so simple as Black Tiger. She was already in despair with tears welling up in her eyes.

 

Soon, she was leaving this world, with no hope of meeting her brother Yuntian and her sister Yunxia. Her enemy Yan Xiaopeng and Feng Jiabao who killed her adoptive father were still at large, and she would never have the chance to kill them...

 

None of these missions had been accomplished, and she had no ability to accomplish them in this life.

 

Her unfinished promises had turned into bubbles, which was the greatest pain for her. Yunyan felt her heart tearing apart and she felt extremely hopeless.

 

She hated the ferocious devils and her own incompetence, and had no courage to see the death of her two relatives.

 

In the cave, it was dead silent, and soon there was a low sound of crying, which startled her nerves. In the “hell”, the air seemed stagnant, suffocating and bloody.

 

Zhang Yunyan, like a soulless clay sculpture, sat there with dull eyes and a hopelessly sad look on her face.

 

She seemed to be watching, and she saw nothing. It was not because it was dark, but because she was deeply drowned in pain and despair. Her eyes were empty and could see nothing.

 

It was very quiet in the cave and even a pin drop could be heard, but the atmosphere was not quiet and peaceful at all.

 

Zhang Yunyan seemed to hear a terrifying sound, that was the footsteps of the death, and he was mercilessly approaching. It was over and all her wishes would turn to bubbles.

 

This was the reality. It’s so cruel that no matter how reluctant she was, the tragedy was still going on. Soon, the tragic ending would come soon, and she was unable to change.

 

In the desperate situation of death, Zhang Yunyan was absorbed in the past...

 

She had not avenged the murders of the Zhang family and the Lin family of her adoptive father. She had not heard from her brother Yuntian and sister Yunxia so far, and there was no hope of reunion. Her enemies, Yan Xiaopeng and Feng Jiabao were still deceiving people and killing others, but she had no chance to remove the evils from people...

 

Yunyan was embarrassed to face her father and mother who had died in hatred. She could not go to see the death of adoptive parents, three brothers and sisters of his adoptive family who had long passed away.

 

She was trapped in the terrifying Devil’s Cave as well as the cruel reality. And she had to face her dead relatives though she was embarrassed to do so and there was no alternative.

 

There was no hope of living as Death was coming. Zhang Yunyan had no choice but to wait for death. Pain, despair, grief, sadness... All of these were inevitable. And now she was experiencing these emotions one by one...

 

Zhang Yunyan looked at the round hole, hoping that the devils would not appear so that she and Black Tiger could stay quietly here until they died.

 

Staring at the glittering place, Black Tiger was humming. It seemed to have had found something and was eager to try.

 

Zhang Yunyan patted the black dog to make it calm down, so as not to startle Jiuyou Sage and the devils and get caught in a terrible disaster.

 

Look at Black Tiger, she realized the devils were coming and her life had come to an end. She was very nervous with heart beating fast. But she was determined not to give up and would fight till the end anyway until she fell to the ground.

 

The devils did not appear, and she felt less tensed. It seemed that those devils hadn’t found her entering the cave. Otherwise, they would have flown here to kill them two. How could they wait till now?

 

With the passage of time, Zhang Yunyan changed her thought and she had the idea of exploring the Devil’s Cave.

 

Last time she entered the Devil’s Cave, she saw countless words of fate flashing, and she had strange feelings. Besides, she saw a chessboard which showed that the game had not completed, and there were no other discoveries.

 

The cave was so huge and complex that there must be many secrets, and perhaps treasures. If she could get treasures with powerful force, she may compete with the devils.

 

Although Yunyan intended to explore, she still hesitated about whether to enter or not, and it was difficult to decide for a while. It was where the devils lived, and she would probably die.

 

Zhang Yunyan knew that even if she did not enter, there was no way to escape. She could only wait for her death, or die of hunger and thirst, or be killed by the devils. If she came in to explore and the devils happened to be sitting at the door, she would die faster and more miserably.

 

Not going in would lead to her death which was inevitable. Going in would also lead to her death. The results were the same and miserable. She had no choice. Whatever she did, she would die. It was only matter of a time.

 

In hesitation, Zhang Yunyan sighed and sat down. She wanted to live as long as possible. Since the devils hadn’t shown up, she was safe by now.

 

She didn’t give up, still holding out hope that in a moment of silence, something may happen unexpectedly and she could escape from the Devil’s Cave.

 

This was a dream before death, an illusion that she longed for but could not achieve. Although this was a beautiful dream, there was also a dim hope and a small chance to survive.

 

Tonight, her experience was terrifying as dangers came one after another which were so strange and horrifying. It was frightening and puzzling to think of it.

 

Zhang Yunyan was “led” by Black Tiger to the foot of the Qinglong Mountain where she met the sika deer which was in danger and rescued it.

 

The sika deer had a big body with shiny fur and peculiar spots, and it could understand human language. No ordinary deer could do this. Was it really a monster?

 

It was not over. She and Black Tiger were led half way up the hill by the Sika deer. Then it disappeared mysteriously without any warning and sound.

 

This magical ability was by no means possessed by an ordinary sika deer. It seemed to be a monster.

 

Then the old woman, who claimed to be a half an immortal, appeared. She not only talked nonsense and lied, but also plotted against her. The old woman who pretended to be a half an immortal must be the companion of Jiuyou Sage. She appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

 

Later, Black Tiger fell into a deep cave. It was amazing that it was in good condition without getting killed or injured. This was an impossible miracle. However, it indeed happened.

 

Then, she fell into the Devil’s Cave reluctantly, and there was also an “impossible miracle”.

 

...

 

Now thinking of it, Zhang Yunyan felt that the reason why she fell into the cave was probably due to the old woman.

 

The old woman did not leave, and was still spying on her. Entrusted by Jiuyou Sage, she secretly pushed Zhang Yunyan into the cave and sent her to the devils.

 

All the strange things were frightening and puzzling. Zhang Yunyan didn’t know what was going on and why these weird things happened tonight.

 

The strange sika deer, the wicked old woman, the devils who ate human beings, and the inexplicable falling... All the weird things happened because of the secrets which contained the ulterior motives of killing.

 

In the dark night, it was silent, tense, terrifying, and mysterious.

 

Zhang Yunyan had nowhere to run in the desperate situation, and what would happen to her in the end was unimaginably tragic and miserable.

 

She was very nervous and afraid, looking at the dark and terrifying hole in front of her. She was thinking and hesitating, not knowing whether to enter the “full moon”...

 

At that moment, Black Tiger got up and ran to the small entrance of the cave without hesitation or scruples.

 

Zhang Yunyan was startled. She was so anxious that she immediately called the black dog back. She didn’t want to disturb the devils so as not to get into trouble.

 

Ignoring her, Black Tiger was determined and had come into the hole.

 

Seeing the black dog disappearing in the hole, Yunyan frowned and sighed. She was very anxious and helpless, not knowing what to do.

 

In desperation, she was afraid of the hole in front of her which was more bright. She knew that entering the hole was to face devils and she would die miserably.

 

However, she could not see Black Tiger die alone. It was her animal friend, her dependence in despair, and her comrade-in-arms who shared weal and woe.

 

Zhang Yunyan was still hesitant and anxious to decide whether to go or not.

 

It was another harsh reality that Black Tiger insisted on the in-depth exploration, and she could not stop it. So she had to face the situation.
