The three of them finally managed to get through the formation and arrived at a mountain stream.
The sky is dotted with stars, and a gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers.
Without a trace of resentment, just as Qin Luo and Wu Hua were marveling at the rarity of this place...
But they were interrupted by a faint but rapid ticking sound, and the three of them looked up.
Suddenly, a few crystal-clear water droplets, emitting an eerie green glow, fell from the star-studded sky.
As soon as the water droplets hit the ground, they quickly corroded everything they touched.
Whether it's rocks, grass, trees, or the creatures of the land
Even dust floating in the air, as long as it touches it
Everything will vanish in an instant, leaving behind plumes of charred, acrid smoke.
Upon seeing this, the headmaster immediately took out a magical artifact and placed it above the two people's heads.
"This is the Demon Bone Umbrella, which can withstand this corrupting water. Protect yourself and your little sister, and make sure the water droplets don't touch you."
Qin Luo gripped the umbrella handle tightly, then looked at her empty hands.
"And what about you? What will you do?"
"Don't worry, I can protect myself."
After the headmaster finished speaking, he immediately used magic to create a protective shield around himself.
He then prepared to lead the two of them towards the innermost part of the mountain stream.
Qin Luo used the carrying cloth given to her by Ah Shui to tightly wrap Wu Hua around her chest.
After making sure he wouldn't get wet, he followed the headmaster further inside.
The further the three walked, the faster the water droplets fell, seemingly without end.
The mountain chief could only probe the way while using magic to deflect the water droplets.
The journey was fraught with hardship, but at least we made it out.
The abbot's magical artifact was very effective; neither Qin Luo nor Wu Hua's clothes were soaked.
In contrast, the headmaster looked much worse off; not only were his robes corroded with several holes, but his hands were also injured.
Qin Luo looked at the hole billowing black smoke and felt a pang of pity.
He then took out a medicine bottle and handed it to her.
"Master, please take the pills quickly, and your wound will heal soon."
The headmaster accepted it and bowed to thank her.
Thank you.
After she took the pill, the three of them continued walking forward.
The further they walked, the more Qin Luo and Wu Hua felt that something was wrong.
"Why does it feel like we're heading underground?"
Upon hearing this, the headmaster immediately provided an answer.
"That's right, it's further underground. When I was seriously injured by the thieves and thrown into the center of the earth, I thought I was going to die for sure, but unexpectedly, I met Lord White Wolf there."
Qin Luo was somewhat puzzled after listening.
"This place is so dangerous, why didn't you take it out with you?"
The headmaster sensed a hint of blame in her words and immediately offered an explanation.
"It doesn't want to come out, saying it's being watched by something. Only by hiding its aura in the center of the earth can it avoid being captured by villains and made into a spirit pet."
"A spirit pet?"
"right."
Now that they had arrived at this point, the headmaster no longer wished to conceal anything.
"It seems to be still a cub, residing inside a divine-level magic artifact that ordinary cultivators cannot break open. Therefore, whoever wants to take it in must be extremely terrifying."
After hearing her words, Qin Luo immediately recalled the first time she saw Wu Hua.
"Little one, is the white wolf not born yet?"
Wu Hua was also a little unsure.
"Based on her description, it should be, but it doesn't matter, something is better than nothing."
Qin Luo could only console herself with this thought; she had originally believed that a powerful ally had arrived.
It turned out to be an unborn cub, whose strength was inferior to those in the space.
It seems the only option left is to charm Mingyi and quell the resentment...
The headmaster listened to their conversation and was filled with astonishment.
"The adult is not even born yet? And he's already this powerful before he's even born?"
Wu Hua was especially happy to hear him praise his fellow humans.
"Of course, it won't be long before it catches up with me."
The headmaster had fought him before, but it was only a few exchanges.
They weren't really fighting, but the impact he caused was...
It did indeed nearly make her unable to stand, but to say that he was more powerful than her own benefactor beast...
The headmaster didn't believe it, but he couldn't openly undermine the child's confidence.
He could only laugh it off.
"Hehe, let's continue deeper into the area, there's still a long way to go!"
"Alright, then I'll trouble you to continue leading the way."
Then, without stopping, they continued walking deeper into the area.
The three of them traversed layers upon layers of underground caves, which resembled a maze.
Fluorescent moss grows on the stone walls on both sides, bringing a faint glimmer of light to this dark underground place.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding air grew increasingly thin.
The eerie chill was bone-chilling, as if it could freeze one's soul.
They had to rely on their own abilities to keep warm, while the headmaster used his sword energy to clear a path.
Qin Luo used her special ability to wrap herself and Wu Hua in a protective layer, preventing them from getting frostbite.
Just when they thought they had adapted to this extreme environment
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the depths of the earth.
The ground shook violently, as if the entire earth's core was trembling.
The group stumbled and staggered until they reached a stone gate made of massive rocks.
The headmaster placed the academy's identification token into the slot in front of the gate.
The stone door slowly opened, revealing a crimson light behind it.
Then, a wave of heat hit them, and Qin Luo and the headmaster unconsciously took a step back.
Once the two had come to their senses, the headmaster immediately went forward to check on them.
Qin Luo also pressed Wu Hua's small face into the crook of her neck.
"Little one, don't look up. Use your energy to shield yourself."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua did as instructed, while also creating a protective shield for both her and the headmaster.
After the headmaster noticed, he turned around and nodded to him to express his gratitude.
