The black hole was enormous, and the place where they stood was the only surface, with a smooth cliff edge and the black hole below that was indistinct!
The countless small stones on the edge of the cliff make it very easy for people to slip and fall. Even a normal person would probably slip and fall if they were standing here!
The tremors on the ground grew more pronounced. The woman in red looked up at the group of people, her expression softening considerably…
She reached out and touched Huo Er's mane, then smiled gently.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that not only would I not get revenge, but I would also drag you down with me."
Huo Er seemed to understand the red-clad woman's last words, a hint of sorrow appearing in his eyes, and the atmosphere became extremely silent.
Dozens of horses charged over menacingly, and the figure of the woman in red could be seen from afar. The leader of the group dismounted and looked at her with a gloomy gaze.
"Holy Maiden, everyone is dead, why insist on going? Wouldn't it be better to join them sooner?"
Upon hearing this, the woman in red glared at him instantly, hatred surging in her chest. Involuntarily, the tragic scene of her people dying flashed through her mind. The raging fire mercilessly devoured their sacred land, and all life fell into an eternal slumber that night, filled with endless despair…
The hatred in her eyes startled even the leader of the men in black, reminding him of his master's order to kill her without hesitation and eliminate any potential threat. If such a woman were allowed to continue living, she would likely become a major threat sooner or later!
Suddenly, the woman in red let out a violent laugh. Her red dress exuded a sense of desolation and madness, sending chills down everyone's spines...
At that moment, the sound abruptly stopped, and the red-clad woman's voice, filled with hatred and determination, echoed all around.
“Go back and tell your master that if I, Tian Tian, am not dead today, I will one day seek justice for the 1,572 lives of my clan! Blood for blood!”
With that, she suddenly flipped herself onto the horse and let out a roar!
"drive!"
Upon receiving the order, Fire Ear immediately reared up and let out a final, violent neigh towards the sky, as if venting the tragedy of its life, before charging directly into the black hole!
The man and his horse quickly disappeared at the edge of the cliff, as if swallowed by a terrifying black hole, leaving not a trace.
The leader of the men in black stood at the edge of the cliff, staring intently into the black hole. The unfathomable depths were unsettling, and the chilling aura emanating from it only added to the unease.
"Just in case, you all go down the detour to check. Find them alive or dead! I'll go back and report to the master!"
The dozen or so figures on the cliff edge quickly dispersed, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened!
Time passed by, minute by minute…
On the damp, dark grass, the shattered pieces of the carriage lay scattered. A gust of cold wind blew, carrying a chilling cold. Qin Qing instinctively shivered, her body trembling uncontrollably. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally couldn't bear the cold any longer and slowly opened her eyes…
All she could see was darkness, with a large, arched hole resembling a mountain stream in the distance. As her consciousness slowly returned, she struggled to stand up, but her legs felt numb as if they had no feeling at all!
She looked down and saw that both her feet were in the water, the icy stream water making her almost numb! She quickly pulled her feet out and rubbed them with her hands, hoping to warm them up quickly.
At the same time, her eyes were constantly scanning her surroundings, and she was anxiously calling out to those around her.
"Xingxing? Yueyue? Shaoyao? Zifeng? Where are you?"
Her echo reverberated through the empty mountain stream, but no other sound came for a long time…
Qin Qing felt even more anxious. She couldn't help but recall the moment before she jumped off the cliff. She decisively brought the reins and rushed into the carriage, using the down comforters that had been covering them to wrap them up in pairs. As she felt the weightlessness, she reached out and grabbed the carriage frame...
Their last thought was to pray that the down comforter would provide some resistance as they fell, and if they were lucky, it would even get caught on a tree branch, ensuring they wouldn't fall straight down and become a bloody mess!
After half a day of massaging, her feet finally regained some warmth. She tried to stand up, but a sharp pain shot through her left shoulder. Turning her head, she saw the bruises and sighed…
Despite the pain, she took out gauze from her storage space and used it to immobilize herself.
Suddenly noticing the broken tree branch on the ground, she looked at her torn clothes and a thought popped into her head: she might have gotten stuck on the branch after falling, cushioning the impact of her fall, and then she fell down when the branch could no longer support her weight.
Before she could even feel relieved, she shifted her gaze to the cliffs and precipices within the mountain stream, and this time she quickly spotted that patch of blue and white…
That's the color of her down comforter! Overjoyed, she exclaimed.
"Star!"
The loud shouts finally woke up the two little ones on the branch. Sure enough, the down comforter was pierced by the branch and stuck in the middle. A lot of down feathers were scattered all over the ground, but the remaining down feathers kept them warm and prevented them from freezing to death in the cold wind.
"Grandma...Grandma?"
A pair of small hands reached out from inside. Before Qin Qing could respond, she saw another pair of hands tightly holding Xiao Muyue, clearly unwilling to let go even in a moment of crisis. Qin Zifeng also poked his head out at this time, indicating that the two little ones were safe and sound!
Then they jumped down one by one and were caught by Qin Dan's arm. Just as they were about to rejoice, a surprised voice came from not far away!
"Mother...we're here!"
Peony's voice came from the other side of the wall. She was holding Xiao Muyue in her arms, her eyes filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
How come they're all alright after jumping from such a height?
The woman in red, who had been awakened by the noise in the distance, had just opened her eyes when this sentence flashed through her mind. Looking at the dead Huo Er beside her and her own bleeding leg, she couldn't help but laugh at herself!
After the family breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Muxing, who had just woken up, rubbed her eyes, thinking she was dreaming, and greeted Qingqing in a silly manner.
Good morning, Grandma!
Seeing her carefree and unfazed demeanor, Qin Qing didn't know whether to feel relieved or speechless...
Xiao Muyue then noticed the changes around her, her eyes darting curiously around before she quickly spotted the woman in red in the distance…
"Grandma! It's that fierce-looking older sister!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around at the same time and saw the woman in red with a restrained expression on her face.
After they entered, Qin Qing finally saw the tree branch stuck in her thigh, blood gushing out as if it were free…
She paused for a moment, hesitating whether to save the person or not. Anyway, she had been thinking of staying away from this person, so leaving now was the best option!
The woman in red seemed to have read her thoughts and gave a cold smile!
