Deep within the eerie cave, the faint sound of dripping water could be heard.
Hidden behind the dark stone wall, Hua Qingyan still covered her mouth with both hands, not daring to make a sound.
Only after confirming that they had all gone far away and that she was the only one left in the cave did she slowly lower her small hand and gently rub her heart, which was slightly throbbing from holding her breath.
Her eyes, which shone like stars, still held a hint of fright, and beads of sweat covered the tip of her fair nose.
She has no means of communication and has nowhere to call for help.
She turned her gaze to the pitch-black depths of the cave behind her, which resembled the gaping maw of a wild beast, giving her a bad feeling, as if something had deviated from its intended course.
And she didn't know if she was frightened or if it was another attack, but she felt a slight pain in her heart.
Misfortunes never come singly!
Trapped in a den of thieves, and burdened with such an extremely frail body.
This is clearly leaving her no way out.
What should we do now?
We can't just stand by and watch those ninety-nine girls be defiled here.
Hua Qingyan's face was filled with a complex mix of emotions and difficulties.
Even though she was barely able to protect herself, her heart was still with the group of girls who had entered the wolf's den outside the cave.
Now that she'd already encountered this situation, she really couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
Just then, the black cat that had just disappeared reappeared.
It seemed to have come to life, moving with elegant steps as it slowly approached her.
Even in such a dark cave, its fur could be seen to be jet black and shiny.
But those two emerald green cat eyes were especially eerie in this strange and gloomy cave.
The girl felt a chill on her body. Despite the stuffy and humid cave, she had a chilling feeling as if she were in hell.
Especially when it stared at her like a human, its intense and complex gaze made her think she was a heartless woman who had abandoned it!
This is insane!
Hua Qingyan immediately suppressed those chaotic thoughts. This is just a beast; how can it have so many human emotions?
She stopped thinking about it, clutched her slightly aching heart, walked around the black cat, and headed towards the cave entrance.
The location of this cave was unknown; it was surrounded by damp soil and pebbles, and in some places, it was covered with cold, damp moss.
All of this caused her, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, psychological discomfort and a kind of physical nausea.
In order to get out of the cave, she stopped looking at the ground, frowned and looked ahead. Her small feet in slippers, as if facing an abyss, slowly and gently stepped on the muddy stones.
As she drew closer to the cave entrance, she could clearly see that it was already late outside and the firelight was blazing.
The fire seemed to have dyed half the sky red, making it possible to clearly see the surrounding environment.
The sounds outside grew increasingly louder, as if some kind of bonfire party was taking place.
There were sounds of drums, bells, dancing, and chanting in a mysterious language.
It also sounds like a spell, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
When Hua Qingyan reached the cave entrance, she was greatly surprised.
This cave is located halfway up the mountain, at least 20 meters from the bottom.
She had heard those sounds and thought the area outside the cave was open space, but she didn't realize it was so far away!
Outside the cave is a two-meter-wide mountain path that winds around the mountain like a coiled dragon.
The firelight that dyed the sky red was the reflection of the many bonfires at the foot of the mountain.
Under the pitch-black night sky, besides the noisy music and voices, the faint sound of waves could be heard, like the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
The wind that blew in carried a faint, fishy, salty smell.
Based on this information, Hua Qingyan was 99% certain that this was an island, and one that was secluded and unknown to the world.
Otherwise, it's impossible that no one has come to search for three days.
What should we do now?
If you let her walk down the mountain, it would be like walking into a trap.
Judging from the booming sound, there were at least two hundred people below.
Should we head up the mountain?
Wouldn't that be courting disaster?
I wonder what's on the mountaintop.
The girl stood distressed in front of the cave entrance, gazing into the dark distance.
She couldn't just stay here and wait to die.
Just as she was losing her composure, the black cat with shiny fur came to her feet, looked up at her, and meowed twice, as if asking her to come with it.
A glint of gold flashed quickly in its emerald green eyes.
If you look closely, you can see a hint of anger hidden in its eyes.
When Hua Qingyan heard its call, she looked down at it and subconsciously took several steps back, stopping only when she was a meter away from it.
For some reason, she felt a physiological aversion when she saw its eyes.
Just like the person who once had that look in her eyes, what did they do to make her angry?
However, she searched through all her memories but found nothing. Apart from the bits and pieces she had experienced since entering this small world, there was only a blank.
She ignored it, turned around, and prepared to go down the mountain.
The sound of waves reaching her ears from the north side of the mountain was very clear, indicating that it was not far away. There was no human voice, and it was very quiet, so it was obvious that no one was there.
She planned to go there to see if she could find a glimmer of hope.
Wearing slippers, her small feet were really not suitable for walking on mountain paths. After only five minutes, her toes were scratched by sharp stones.
She was extremely sensitive to pain and almost cried out.
Her beautiful, sparkling eyes instantly became misty, then turned into tears, wetting her eye sockets.
Her moist eyes, like delicate flowers covered in dew, were especially endearing.
The black cat that had been following her saw that she was injured and jumped around anxiously, meowing urgently as if asking her if she was alright.
