………………

Inside the cave, silence returned.

In this isolated underground depth, beyond the darkness, there was a thousand feet of coldness, a deep pond, and boundless loneliness.

Of course, there were two figures, a man and a woman, on a pile of stones in the corner.

Wujiao sat cross-legged facing the pond, one hand holding a spirit stone, the other supporting his cheek, quietly cultivating his spirit.

After taking a bottle of pills and pasting several exorcism talismans on his body, he rested for a moment, and the pain from the sword wound on his back finally eased. Wang Bi and Huang Qi had not yet caught up, perhaps they were still busy among dozens of cave entrances.

But such a siege was not a long-term solution. When could he escape...

Liu'er leaned against the corner, secretly observing the figure not far away.

That person had laid down three rules for her: as long as she did not deceive or cause trouble in secret, he would spare her life.

He also said he did not kill women! As for who the purple smoke he mentioned was, he remained silent.

And he, an outsider, dared to intrude into the Ancient Sword Mountain and mix into the Canglong Valley, truly audacious! Perhaps Senior Brother He had already been killed by him, which allowed his scheme to succeed. Such despicable and vile behavior would surely not end well. Moreover, he had seen her body without permission, clearly lusting after her, yet he pretended to be a gentleman. Who was humiliating whom? Hmph...

Liu'er raised her hand to comb her disheveled hair, sighing to herself with a look of self-pity. Her weak appearance was tinged with a hint of despair.

First, she was captured alive, enduring great hardship; then, she was hit by a flying sword, adding to her misery. Even with the protection of magical artifacts, it was still hard to bear! Now, with her injuries, her movements were restricted. Guarding a strange man was no different from being with tigers and wolves. Senior Brother Huang Qi, why haven't you come to save your junior sister...

Liu'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "As the saying goes, ten years of cultivation brings two people to share a boat. We are trapped here together, who says it's not a bond of fate! I don't know where Senior Brother comes from, what should I call you?"

Thinking about it, to survive, she must not offend this man. If she could stabilize him, there might be a chance.

Hearing this, Wujiao turned his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm, perhaps there is a bond of fate..." He was about to answer when he suddenly grimaced, "As for where I come from... I cannot tell you!"

Hmph, so full of himself!

Liu'er secretly criticized him but still flattered, "Big Brother, someone as young and talented as you is rare in the world, you must be a disciple of a prestigious sect!"

Wujiao blinked, nodded, and said, "Hmm! You have good eyes. I, Xuanyu, on Spirit霞 Mountain, am also a one-in-a-thousand talent... cough, forgive my indiscretion..."

Liu'er's heart stirred, and she smiled seductively, flattering him, "Oh, so you are Senior Brother Xuanyu from Spirit霞 Mountain, I apologize for not recognizing you!"

"Hehe!"

Wujiao glanced at her, laughed strangely, then his expression turned serious, and he reached out to grab something.

Liu'er's heart tightened, she covered her chest with both hands, but did not dodge. Instead, she closed her eyes, exhaled softly, and moved forward with her soft body. Unexpectedly, a forceful push came, and she stumbled, hitting the stone wall with a "bang."

The woman hurriedly opened her eyes and found that the man had grabbed a round stone from behind her. She felt disappointed and her expression was filled with resentment.

In the cave, besides the pond, there was only this place to rest. Near the corner, there was a black stone that looked somewhat unusual, about a foot in size, round and smooth, like a giant bird's egg.

Wujiao reached out to grab the stone, feeling its weight and the strange, restless energy it emitted. His divine sense could not discern its nature.

If it was not a bird's egg, what could it be? It was definitely not just a stone, there must be something strange about it!

Thinking this, he looked at the dark pond and the faintly fishy smell around it, and had a vague guess, but did not believe it. Whatever it was, it would be delicious when cooked! Besides, for the past two or three months, he had survived on辟谷丹 (spiritual fasting pills), which kept him from starving but left his mouth tasteless. Why not take this opportunity to indulge himself, and then, after regaining his strength, continue searching for a way out, and finally confront Wang Bi!

The will of a food lover always gives endless courage!

Wujiao placed the stone by the pond, moved back a bit, and then took out a fire talisman, which he threw out, causing a burst of flames.

The dark cave was instantly as bright as daylight. The flames reflected on the pond, and the heat became intense.

Liu'er was confused and frightened.

Before, she had not paid attention, but now she saw that the stone was not ordinary. What was he planning to do?

Wujiao was also busy, quickly casting a spell to control the flames. In a blink, the chaotic flames gradually converged, forming a beam of fire that struck the stone.

He had used talismans before, but they were thrown out without further control. To manipulate them required divine sense and magical power, which was not easy. The stone was close, making it easy to roast, but a slight mistake could harm himself. Fortunately, after some attempts, he managed to do it. Even if it was not perfect, he gained some understanding!

A beam of fire several feet long fell instantly, and soon his magical power was exhausted, and the flames dissipated. The round stone, now roasted, emitted a scorching heat.

Wujiao rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands, and was about to break the stone, imagining the delicious aroma. But in an instant, his eyes widened.

He saw the stone roll, almost falling into the pond, then wobble, and finally crack with a "crack" sound, like an eggshell breaking. A more intense heat burst out, and the stone fragments exploded, revealing a black creature about three feet long, coiled up, slowly raising its head. It was clearly a black snake with scales all over its body, but with a protruding forehead, four limbs, and two bright, bean-sized eyes!

"Black dragon... this is the lair of a black dragon... and you... you actually wanted to cook and eat the young of a black dragon..."

Liu'er was still curled up in the corner, but she saw everything clearly. Before her scream ended, the coiled young snake suddenly sprang up, spitting out a black mist. She could not avoid it, let out a soft cry, and fainted.

I just wanted to indulge myself, I didn't dare to provoke the black dragon!

What is that woman saying, mistakenly entering the lair of a black dragon?

My goodness, my guess turned out to be true, isn't this courting death! I was wrong, it's all because of my greed!

Wujiao was startled and raised his hand to draw out the magic sword to strike.

The "Hundred Spirits Scripture" records that dragons are highly toxic, fierce, and bloodthirsty, with the ability to cause storms. Among them, black dragons are even more vicious and cruel!

As the sword light rose, the young snake moved like lightning, instantly returning and leaping onto his body, coiling around him. He held the magic sword but could not strike, hurriedly activating his spiritual power to protect himself, but still felt a chill throughout his body, causing him to panic and cry out, "Ouch, I won't eat you, you don't bite me..."

The young snake, or the young dragon, did not take the opportunity to bite, but after coiling, it landed on the ground, raised its head, opened its mouth, and "hissed" out black mist, its two bean-sized eyes showing a strange affection.

Wujiao stiffened, glancing sideways.

Do you recognize me? I don't recognize you. Why don't you bite me? I have spiritual power protecting me. The black mist you spewed is highly toxic, why am I unharmed?

In the silent cave, the man and the dragon faced each other.

Wujiao took a step back, and the young dragon followed. He moved to the left, and the young dragon responded. He moved to the right, and the same happened.

What a strange thing!

I just wanted to eat you, why are you so persistent! If you keep bothering me, I will cut you in half!

Wujiao suddenly jumped up, but there was nowhere to go, only stone walls and the pond. In a dilemma, a black shadow suddenly appeared, coiling around his left arm, then slipping into his sleeve, curling up and pretending to sleep.

He looked down at the heavy sleeve, still disbelieving.

Little thing, you are deliberately clinging to me. I am not a good person, I will peel your skin and cook you, and taste the flavor of dragon meat, hah...

"Bang—"

At this moment, a dull sound came from the opposite side of the pond, and a stone block shattered, revealing a previously sealed cave entrance, which grew larger as it was chiseled by sword light.

Wujiao was startled again.

No need to think, Wang Bi and Huang Qi were chasing him. Since there was no place to run, he could only fight to the death!

He prepared to fight, but the heavy sleeve was a hindrance. In a panic, he used his divine sense to instantly store the young dragon in the Kuigu ring.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the cave entrance on the opposite side of the pond, it was Huang Qi with a mask, holding a flying sword, looking fierce. Behind him, a figure of an old man, clearly Wang Bi, could be seen.

Wujiao leaned against the stone wall, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

"Senior Brother Wang, that boy is indeed here!"

Huang Qi had already seen the situation in the cave, feeling excited but also furious, "You killed my junior sister..." He roared and lunged forward. Wang Bi followed, leaping out of the cave, both coming from the left and right, with a terrifying momentum.

Wujiao was about to react, but a thought struck him, and he grabbed Liu'er from the corner, throwing her over.

Huang Qi, caught off guard, hurriedly retracted his sword light and reached out to catch her.

Wujiao, meanwhile, focused on Wang Bi, his palm ready to draw the magic sword.

The cave was instantly filled with a heavy killing intent.

At this moment, the previously calm pond suddenly churned, a familiar scene, and a head several feet wide suddenly emerged from the water, opening its mouth with a bloody roar.

Huang Qi had caught Liu'er in his arms but was still in mid-air, unable to land. Wang Bi had just crossed the pond, and his flying sword had not yet shown its power. Both were caught off guard, unable to advance or retreat, and were in a panic.

Wujiao was looking for an opportunity to fight, but when he saw the black dragon emerging from the water, he was speechless.

This pond was indeed connected to the Nine Layers of the Abyss, and it was the lair of a black dragon. He had just bullied the young one, and now the old one was provoked. Plus, those two were adding to the chaos, his luck today was truly against him!

"Boom—"

This was not a roar or a scream, but the sound of the black dragon emerging from the water, like an earthquake, making one's heart tremble.

Wang Bi was still in mid-air, unable to dodge, and was knocked away by the black dragon's head. Huang Qi, holding Liu'er, fell directly but stepped on the pond, desperately running back to the cave entrance.

Wujiao stood frozen, drenched by the pond water. Seeing the fierce black dragon about to charge at him, he was terrified and dove into the water... Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
