Chapter 209: Encountering Zerev in the cave and being caught in a prison break
There was no light in the dim cave, so Ophelia took out the flashlight she had bought earlier from the system space.
White lights lit up in the cave, illuminating the way forward.
But just after she walked for a while, she heard footsteps behind her.
Seeing this, Ophelia quickly hid in the farm space.
After the farm space is upgraded, you can see what’s happening outside even while you’re in the space.
Ophelia was surprised to see a familiar face. It was Zeref.
Without thinking, she came out of the system space and ran towards Zeref.
Hearing the movement behind him, Zeref turned around and raised his hand to grab the person's neck.
The force of her hand was so strong that Ophelia's cheeks turned red in an instant.
"Zeref." Ophelia spoke with difficulty.
Zeref froze slightly, loosening his grip a little.
Ophelia regained some strength and quickly turned on the flashlight. The white light allowed Zeref to see her face.
"Ophelia?" Zeref quickly let go of her hand and checked Ophelia's injuries with some concern.
"I'm fine." Ophelia shook her head when she saw that Zeref was worried about her.
"Why are you here?"
"Nonsense!" Zeref said in a low voice with an ugly look on his face.
"It's so dangerous here, how could you come to Taylor and the others by yourself?"
Seeing that Zeref was about to charge her, Ophelia quickly stopped her.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Daner sensed that Cohen was injured, so I came here. Let's go find Cohen as soon as possible."
When Zeref heard that Cohen was injured, he didn't pursue Taylor and Klein any further. She took Ophelia's hand and walked deeper into the cave.
The space in the cave becomes smaller and smaller as you go further back, and in the end it can only accommodate one person.
Fortunately, they didn't meet anyone else along the way. Ophelia and Zeref walked lightly and reached the deepest part of the cave.
As soon as I got close, I heard the sound of a whip cracking in the air, accompanied by the sound of a whip cracking and the sharp voice of a little female.
"Damn it, you're the little bastard that Zeref fathered with some lowly female out there."
"It was because of your mother that my brother was killed. Your mother deserves to die, and you deserve to die too." Sophie's eyes were bloodshot and she looked at Cohen on the ground with gritted teeth.
The animal skin clothes on Cohen were in tatters, and there were several whip marks on his exposed skin.
"Little beast, if you beg me, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will come here every day to torture you before you die. I just don't know how long your little body can hold out."
Sophie did not hide her malice at all, she swung the whip in her hand and hit the ground.
Cohen's body shook subconsciously, but she did not beg for mercy when the whip fell on her.
"You little bastard are quite stubborn. I want to see how long you can last." Sophie raised the whip again and whipped Cohen.
At this moment, a male beside her spoke up to stop her. "Princess, you can't fight anymore. If you continue, I won't be able to explain to the head of the family."
"It's just a little beast, he's dead, so what's there to explain?" Sophie looked at Cohen's face that was similar to Zeref, and her heart was full of jealousy.
"But the head of the family hasn't allowed her to die yet." The male Fire Phoenix was a little anxious.
When Sophie heard the male say this, she glared at Cohen on the ground, then turned and left.
Hearing the footsteps, Ophelia hurriedly took Zeref into the space.
"Father."
"Father, I finally see you. I missed you so much." When Wendy saw Zeref appear in the system space, he ran over excitedly and hugged her calves and acted coquettishly.
Zeref felt warm at heart as he looked at his soft and well-behaved daughter. He bent down and held her in his arms.
Daner looked at Wendy with envy. Ophelia winked at Zeref, who grabbed Daner with his big hands and held him in his arms.
"I heard that you helped Ophelia find this place." Zeref looked at his son in his arms with a look of relief on his face.
Daner blushed and nodded.
"Well done." Zeref and Danr nodded their heads.
While the father and son were interacting, Ophelia paid attention to the movements outside the space and saw a slightly plump female and male walking past them.
The female has long fiery red hair and an exceptionally sturdy build, and looks somewhat similar to Brada.
If it weren't for the breast features, she really wouldn't be able to tell that she was a female.
Only after the two figures left did Ophelia take Zeref out of the space.
There is a small wooden door deep in the cave. The door is tied tightly with vines and cannot be opened from the inside.
Ophelia saw Cohen lying on the ground covered in blood through the gap, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Cohen, Cohen," Ophelia called out.
Cohen inside thought she was hallucinating. The pain all over her body made it impossible for her to open her eyes. She could only raise her fingers slightly in response.
Ophelia anxiously used the dagger in her hand to cut the vines, but the more panicked she was, the slower she cut the vines.
"I'll do it." Zeref raised his foot and kicked the wooden door open.
Ophelia hurried in and held Cohen in her arms. She didn't care about anything else and quickly took out the golden wound medicine and Baiyun life-saving pills and stuffed them into Cohen's mouth.
Cohen was no longer able to swallow on his own at this time, and Ophelia was so anxious that she burst into tears.
Strong Zeref removed Cohen's jaw, stuffed the pill directly into her throat, and helped her swallow.
Only after watching the life-saving pill being swallowed did Ophelia calm herself down and bandaged Cohen's wound with trembling hands.
"Ophelia, we have to leave quickly. The rest will be bandaged outside."
"good."
Ophelia put Cohen into the space, and she followed Zeref out of the cave.
But as soon as they walked out of the cave, they were surrounded by a group of male Fire Phoenix tribe members.
The Fire Phoenix Patriarch stepped out from the crowd. "Zerev has waited for so many days, and I finally got you."
"You are Ophelia, and you killed my son." The head of the Fire Phoenix family looked at Ophelia who was standing next to Zeref.
She admitted that the female was beautiful, but that was no reason for her to seduce Zeref and kill her son.
"Zeref, Ophelia, if you commit suicide in front of me, I can consider sparing the City of Beasts and the Fu Tribe."
The head of the Fire Phoenix family already knew that Ophelia had gathered the Golden Dragon Clan and the White Tiger Clan, and even the Lord of Wanshou City, Maya, was supporting her.
With such a huge threat, the head of the Fire Phoenix family would never let go of the Myriad Beasts City, and she also planned to take advantage of Zerev's mistake to ask the Pterosaur family for the Myriad Beasts City.
Since her son died in Wanshou City, she would let the people of Wanshou City apologize for her son.
"impossible."
"Even if you die, I will not die." After Ophelia finished speaking, she pulled the trigger on her wrist, and three crossbow arrows flew towards the head of the Fire Phoenix family.
The face of the Fire Phoenix family head changed drastically, but it was the young male next to her who reacted first and pulled her behind him.
The male's arm was scratched by a crossbow bolt and his shoulder was also hit by an arrow.
"Walk."
Seeing that all the Fire Phoenix Clan's attention had shifted to the Fire Phoenix Patriarch, Zeref transformed into a beast and flew into the air with Ophelia.
The Fire Phoenix Patriarch gritted his teeth as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance. "Chase them!"
