Chapter 3 Sudden Changes
She was observing and thinking because she was not under any danger. The only necessary thing was to decide whether to explore these mysterious things or to withdraw from this cave.
If she decided to explore, she still had to decide if she should check the beautifully carved large disk, or check the small cave that glittered in the blue light.
It seemed like a very simple decision, but in fact, it was not. After all, it was Black Killer’s cave, and maybe it had some demonic traps.
This kind of exploration was very dangerous. It was likely to be directly related to her survival and to the hope of escape. She couldn’t hesitate and could not be careless.
In order to be safe, she could withdraw from Tongtian Hole without taking risks, at least for now, as she had not triggered any demonic traps, and no danger or disaster had happened yet.
However, to withdraw from danger wasn’t in line with her nature – knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, but still deciding to go to the mountains. Moreover, she was striving for survival, no matter what kind of danger she had to face.
Yunyan looked at these mysterious things and didn’t want to avoid danger. So she made up her mind to explore its hidden secrets.
She felt that only by seeking this mysterious danger could she see the hope of a silver lining. Maybe it wasn’t an illusion to escape.
She knew that the hidden danger was terrible, and the mouse’s behaviors had given a warning. She thought it over, and she still didn’t want to give up, praying for hope in this dangerous situation to escape.
She was a mortal person. She could only get temporary security if she avoided danger. When Black Killer returned, she would definitely lose her soul and be enslaved by him, became alchemy material, and finally die in an even worse way.
She would die miserably and be ruthlessly degraded by Black Killer. From the lustful eyes of that monster, she had already figured out that he meant mischief, and felt that the Black Bear Demon was stirring.
Once she lost her soul, she wouldn’t be able to resist being bullied until she died, and her situation would be even more miserable.
She was imprisoned in the monster cave. There was no way to break through both the brown bear and the turtle. Also, she couldn’t escape from such a dangerous situation, and she couldn’t fight against Black Killer. In the face of such a ruthless and inevitable death, she was already powerless.
However, in this desperate situation, she did not self-destruct, and she did not lose her spirit. She must work hard and strive to escape the horrible demon cave.
Although it was too difficult to escape here, it was necessary to strive to find hope for life. She also made her every effort to escape from this “hell” and return to the world.
Regardless of the consequences, she must rush to take action before nightfall in order to survive, even if it endangered her life.
What’s more, she was already living on a timer, where hesitating could only be a waste of precious time, leading to the chance of survival becoming fainter and less plausible.
In the face of the mysterious Tongtian Hole, she still had a glimmer of hope, and would take the risk to work hard to achieve “Another Village” (another hope).
She had two choices – one was checking the beautifully carved large disk and another was exploring the small but glittering cave.
She knew that there was a great risk in exploring these two mysterious places. Once she entered, she would probably trigger different demonic traps, bringing different dangers and disasters.
This was a life-deciding choice. She couldn’t rashly take action. She must be cautious and hope to make a perfect decision.
In this Tongtian Hole, other than the entrance from which she came, the small flashing cyan hole was the only exit. But she didn’t know if it was the right way to escape.
From her point of view, since the small hole was the only exit and the only hope, she could only go there to find a way out.
She didn’t know why the small hole was flashing blue, nor did she know what it sent out. She was very nervous and she didn’t know if there were any terrible monsters, any horrible demonic traps, or a way to go out – everything was very vague.
Yunyan looked at the small hole that shimmered blue light with some doubt and fear in her heart. There, the blue light was cold and chilling, and it was more terrible than the blue and green flashes.
However, that was the only way out the Tongtian Hole. Other than this, there was no way out. She had no choice but to go there to uncover its secret.
No matter how dangerous the cave was, and no matter whether there was a hope of escape or not, she couldn’t avoid it, otherwise she could only die in the black tiger cave.
She had already made up her mind. But when she looked at the yellow-brown boulders full of patterns, doubts lingered in her heart and she couldn’t erase her haunting feelings.
In the face of these magical things, she second-guessed herself and secretly asked herself, “Is it right to go here?”
She had a deep impression of the vague patterns, the magical flowers, the strange fragrance, the mysterious vase… and she had the desire to explore.
In particular, the vase strongly appealed to her. She didn’t know what was inside, and she wanted to uncover its secrets.
If she just left without solving the doubts in her heart, she would feel somewhat reluctant and uncomfortable. If there was still a future, she would regret giving up easily today.
She felt that the mysterious big disk could be entered in just one step. It was better to look at these mysterious things first, in order to understand the secrets inside. Perhaps she would have unexpected gains, or get methods or hints to escape.
She thought it over and finally decided that she couldn’t give it up. She’d firstly explore the big disk, and then go to the small cave which flashed the blue light.
In this way, she could view all the strange things in the cave, the two tasks wouldn’t be delayed, and she wouldn’t regret it.
Having made up her mind, she immediately took action. When she was about to enter the big disk to explore, her legs that had been lifted were put down again, because she didn’t know what to do.
Tongtian Hole was too silent, and the blue and green light flashed inside without a pause. The small hole was gleaming, dark and quiet. No danger could be seen inside. The mysterious atmosphere was still tense – there was no change inside, and nothing moved.
She walked around the mysterious cave and hesitated. The big mouse was so afraid of this cave that she did not know what terrible dangers lurked inside.
After all, this was a decision regarding her life and death. She couldn’t hesitate and couldn’t be careless.
She thought about it for several times and believed that there was nothing wrong with doing this. There were so many magical things and feelings in the big disk, it was necessary for her to probe inside. She hoped to get some secrets because these may help her escape.
She looked at the small cave that was flashing the blue light, and it was a little gloomy. Relatively speaking, the big disk was not so terrible and held no big risk.
In the big disk, everything was clear – the mysterious things were quietly placed there and there were no terrible objects there, no horror, and no signs of danger.
In the small cave, the blue light flashed, and it was totally dark inside. She didn’t know what was hidden, or whether there was a terrible monster and a horrible hex or not.
She reconsidered, and thought that her decision was right. The mysterious big disk was at her feet. The road to exploration should start from here and couldn’t be easily abandoned.
Time waited for no one. She couldn’t linger – since she had already made up her mind, it was necessary to take action.
Once she calmed down, she stepped forward to the big disk which was engraved with mysterious patterns.
Just as her feet stepped on the delicate disk, a flash of light came out from her body and quickly flew into the mysterious vase.
At this time, her expression froze. Facing the mysterious Tongtian Hole and the mysterious things in front of her, she was unaware and ignorant of everything…
Strange, what happened to her? Why did such a surprising change happen in an instant?
Just now, she was still bent on exploring the secrets of Tongtiandong Hole and wanted to survive in such a desperate, life-threatening situation. But why did it become like this the moment she stepped on the mysterious disk?
In the large disk which was engraved with the mysterious pattern, she stared blankly, walking around in sorrow. She did not know what to do, did not know where this was, and did not even know her own existence – everything was unknown to her…
It turned out that the moment her foot touched the big disk was a very unexpected moment. It was a terrible moment which could decide her life and death.
At this very moment, the mysterious vase creaked, and the fiery cover suddenly opened. Also, her soul flew out from her body and was sucked in by the delicate vase, and then the vase cap was tightly closed.
This process was completed in the blink of an eye, and it looked like nothing had changed
