Walking out of the Black Stone Forest, the cave that Xue Huan had seen before appeared before her.
From the outside, it was pitch black inside, like a big mouth ready to devour anyone. No one knew if there was any danger hidden inside.
Xue Huan threw a stone in, but no animal jumped out.
She took out the night pearl and walked inside with the small stone. But when she reached the entrance of the cave, she suddenly bumped into something and was knocked back, almost falling down.
At the entrance of the cave, an invisible barrier like a colorful bubble flashed by.
Barrier!
Xue Huan was knocked out, but Xiao Shitou walked past without any hindrance and turned back to look at her in confusion.
She had successfully thrown stones there before. Could it be that this barrier is only aimed at humans?
Something in the cave seemed to attract the little stone. It stared inside eagerly, but looked back at her and came back.
Xue Huan felt a tenderness in her heart when she saw the clinging look on its face. She picked it up and placed it on her shoulder.
"Let me see how to break this barrier. Once it's broken we can go in."
She stretched out her hand and the barrier reappeared, with countless complex and mysterious runes running around in it in a disorderly manner like swimming fish.
But is there really no pattern? Not necessarily.
No matter how complex and difficult the barrier is, there are rules behind it. If you find it, you have the key to open it. If you can't find it, then no matter how hard you try, you can't open it.
Of course, in the face of absolute strength, even the strongest barrier would be as fragile as paper and break with a single poke.
Xue Huan is far from having such strength at the moment, not to mention that her spiritual power is still restricted.
Unable to exert spiritual power, breaking the barrier is more difficult.
But there is a way.
Xue Huan placed her hand on the barrier, carefully observing the seemingly messy runes on it. At a certain moment, she suddenly felt that the barrier in front of her was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Where is it?
Yes, I saw it when I entered the spirit world! The barrier between the spirit world and the secular world was so similar to the barrier before my eyes!
It's like two math problems of the same type.
She already had the answer to the previous math problem.
Although she did not figure out the answer herself, she had carefully examined the question at that time and was almost able to solve it. After reading Pei Ji's "problem-solving process" (the boundary symbols drawn), she figured out the solution through reverse reasoning.
Now, when you encounter the same type of questions, it only takes a little time to solve them.
Soon, Xue Huan's eyes lit up, and she knew how to break the barrier in front of her.
She bit her fingertip and wrote the talisman with blood. Although she could not use spiritual power, her blood contained spiritual power, and the talisman she drew was just as effective.
The moment the blood talisman was drawn, the barrier disappeared, and Xue Huan quickly stepped in with the small stone.
Because the blood talisman cannot stay in the air for too long, once it dissipates, its effect will be lost.
Soon after she stepped in, the barrier appeared again.
After walking for a while, three forks in the road appeared in front of them. While Xue Huan was still thinking about which one to take, Xiao Shitou pointed to the middle intersection and signaled her to take that one.
"Okay, I'll listen to you then."
I believe the little stone must have sensed something.
In this cave, Little Stone, as a stone spirit, must have an advantage over her.
After walking for a few minutes, three forks in the road appeared in front of us again.
There are too many detours.
Fortunately, there was Little Stone, which quickly showed her the way every time.
Leaning on a small stone, Xue Huan finally came to a spacious stone hall. Inside the hall lay a huge black monster with wings on its back. It looked a bit like a tiger, and its limbs and body were wrapped with thick chains.
It seems that he is imprisoned here.
The monster was lying down and sleeping, and with every breath it took, a huge noise was heard.
The small stone slid from her shoulder and ran towards the giant beast...the stone under its head.
Xue Huan: "Little Stone, come back soon——"
Don't wake up the monster.
The monster looked very powerful. Although it was entangled in chains, it was obviously not completely restrained. If you run into its range of activity, wouldn't you be asking for it to torture you?
But Little Stone was already so envied by the stone under the monster's head that he didn't listen to her at all.
What made Xue Huan feel relieved was that the monster was sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up at all.
Seeing that Little Stone had already run to the front of the monster, she hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and ran over, intending to bring the disobedient little thing back.
Little Stone bit the stone under the monster's head and refused to let go. Xue Huan wanted to pry its mouth open, but suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was it so quiet around?
The snoring of the monster before echoed throughout the stone hall like 3D surround sound.
Xue Huan realized something and slowly raised her head, only to meet a pair of blood-red eyes as big as her head.
She was so frightened that her heart stopped for a moment, and she held the little stone in her arms, not daring to move.
After staring at the monster for a while, her eyes became sore.
Suddenly, the monster moved. It turned over and stretched lazily. The wind caused by its movement almost blew Xue Huan down.
She took the opportunity to run out with Xiao Shitou.
However, after she ran a few steps, one of the monster's claws appeared in front of her like Optimus Prime, blocking her way.
Xue Huan: “…”
"Why are you running? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
A lazy voice sounded behind him.
Xue Huan: “!!!”
She slowly turned her neck and looked at the huge monster in surprise. Even when it was lying down, she had to look up at it. It could actually speak?
A talking demon beast must be at least level seven, right? Converted to a human cultivator, that would be the fusion stage!
Refining Qi, building foundation, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, transforming into spirit, refining emptiness, and then fusion!
Boss!
But, if it is so powerful, how could it be imprisoned here?
Perhaps because the doubt in her eyes was too obvious, the monster snorted coldly: "If you humans weren't so despicable, how could I have fallen into your trap?"
It can be seen that this person hates humans.
Xue Huan felt even more frightened and forced a smile. "Senior, I had no intention of walking in here. Please forgive me if I have offended you. I will not disturb you any further. Goodbye."
But in the end, I didn't leave.
The monster closed its claws and pulled her in front of it, circling it. "Since you're here, play with me. I've been locked up for so long, it's really boring."
Xue Huan: “…”
Little Stone, on the other hand, was not afraid at all. He was probably not born to be afraid of the string.
Judging from the monster's tone, it seemed that it had no intention of eating her for the time being, so Xue Huan reluctantly put her heart back into her stomach.
But this stone hall is empty and there is nothing to eat. The monster is tied up and can't get out. It must be hungry when it wakes up, right?
Judging from its size, it must have a big appetite. I guess what I give it is not even enough to fill its teeth, but it is meat after all. It has no intention of eating her now, but it may have some later.
Xue Huan felt that her situation was very dangerous. In order to avoid being eaten, she had no choice but to sacrifice her own food.
"Senior, are you hungry? Let me make you something to eat."
Xuan Ling glanced at her with a half-smile, "Why, are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
Xue Huan smiled awkwardly, how could she dare to reply to this?
As a high-level demon beast, Xuan Ling's eating habits are actually close to those of humans. After all, he once transformed into a human form and lived in the human world for decades. Even though he hates humans, he would never eat them.
But he didn't tell Xue Huan that it was quite interesting to see the little girl trembling with fear, always worrying that she would be eaten.
If Xue Huan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely give him the middle finger. Damn!
