Lu Yuhan's eyes flashed with killing intent. This lecher actually dares to question me?
Suppressing the urge to tear Qin Yu apart, Lu Yuhan did not pursue the matter further. She had already confirmed that Qin Yu was from the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect. A monk can run, but the temple cannot. Thus, she did not need to worry about Qin Yu running away. The most important thing right now was to leave this place.
"How much do you know about this place?"
After she calmed her mind, Lu Yuhan recovered her usual indifference, and her words carried an icy coldness that kept others far away from her, causing her to seem like a lofty snow fairy.
Qin Yu was surprised. He did not expect this woman to calm down so quickly. Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, he helplessly said, "Fellow Daoist, truth be told, I am an outer disciple of the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect. This is my first time coming to the Essence Wood Forest. Originally, I wanted to cut down the essence wood trees, but I did not expect to be chased by fierce beasts. In the end, I woke up here."
After pondering for a while, Qin Yu decided not to pretend to be the guest's follower. After all, it would be too easy to be seen through. Instead, it would be counterproductive. It was better to let her figure out the truth herself.
"Outer disciple?" Lu Yuhan frowned. The killing intent in her heart became even stronger. This guy, does he think that I am a three-year-old child?
Thinking about the current situation, Lu Yuhan could only endure it. It would not be too late to kill him when he no longer had any value!
Seeing that Lu Yuhan did not answer, Qin Yu did not think too much and asked, "How much do you know about this place?"
He felt bitter in his heart. If he could see the surroundings clearly, he would be able to think of a way. But now, he could not see clearly, his divine sense was useless, and he could not open his Dimensional Ring. How difficult would it be to escape?
If Chasing Famine was here, perhaps he would know what this place is.
Qin Yu thought in his heart. Needless to say, even though Zhuhuang was only a remnant soul, his experience was so profound that Qin Yu couldn't compare to him. If he hadn't fled, then Qin Yu wouldn't have hesitated to keep him in his body forever until he lost his value.
And Zhu Huang seemed to have seen through this, so he didn't hesitate to take the risk and counterattack. This caused Qin Yu to feel a bit of regret. If he had known earlier, he would have only allowed Zhu Huang to absorb the strength of a single stele. That way, Zhu Huang wouldn't have been able to escape. And if they met again, they would be enemies.
If he did not kill him, the hatred in his heart.
Lu Yuhan did not answer. She could guess that Qin Yu's status in the Hundred Refining Ancient Sect was not high. Therefore, she did not have any hope for Qin Yu. The reason why she left Qin Yu alive was because she wanted to squeeze the last bit of value out of Qin Yu.
Seeing that Lu Yuhan was silent, Qin Yu was too lazy to ask any more questions. This person should be the same as him, mysteriously falling here. Therefore, the clues he could get from her were limited. It would be better for him to explore this place himself.
In order to feel more closely, Qin Yu simply lay on the ground and began to explore.
Not long after.
"Hmm?" What made Qin Yu's heart jump was that he had actually touched a lot of bones in such a short time.
These bones made Qin Yu feel that something was wrong. From the beginning, he did not smell the slightest bit of rotting smell. In other words, these bones had been dead for an unknown number of years. The ones that were swept here should be the bones that had gone deep into the Essence Wood Forest. The original owner of these bones was at least an elite disciple.
Moreover, from the size of these bones, they were definitely body cultivators when they were alive. It was hard to imagine how much suffering they had endured when they were alive.
With a heavy heart, Qin Yu crawled in all directions.
Several days later, Qin Yu's face was extremely solemn. The situation was not optimistic. This was a cave, and an extremely large one at that. The shape of the cave was similar to a wine jug. The exit was directly above, and if he wanted to leave, he could only crawl to the mouth of the jug.
If his strength was not sealed, he might be able to escape easily. However, he could not use his vital essence, nor could he fly. If he wanted to crawl out of this cave, he could only rely on his hands.
However, what worried Qin Yu was that the situation was not as simple as he thought. Otherwise, with the strength of these corpses, it would not be difficult for them to crawl out.
He was not willing to be trapped here, so Qin Yu continued to explore.
As time passed, Lu Yuhan gradually could not sit still and also began to explore.
One month later!
Qin Yu sat in the endless darkness, a thick haze covering his heart. After a month of exploration, Qin Yu had more or less formed the scene of this cave in his mind.
Although the cave was shaped like a wine jug, he did not know how deep this cave was. In other words, there was a tunnel of unknown length above this huge cave. Qin Yu also found many grooves on the walls of the tunnel. Presumably, someone had tried to crawl out of this cave before.
Qin Yu continued to climb along these grooves. However, what shocked Qin Yu was that as he climbed, he felt a powerful pressure enveloping his heart. The higher he climbed, the stronger the pressure became. It was like a huge rock, pressing down on Qin Yu until he could not breathe.
In his shock, Qin Yu roared a few times, but he realized that his voice was like a stone sinking into the sea. It did not cause any ripples. He also did not know how long this tunnel was.
Sitting in the cave, Qin Yu helplessly smiled bitterly. Could it be that Chasing Famine's prophecy was about to come true?
Was there really no good ending after being stained with the Redeemer's Karma?
Now that he thought about it, that was indeed the case. He had finally escaped from the Big Dipper Pagoda and almost died in the sea of lava. Now … he thought that he could cultivate peacefully for a few years in the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect. Who would have thought that he would fall into this strange cave again?
While Qin Yu was smiling bitterly, Lu Yuhan could no longer sit still. Previously, she had also explored the cave by herself and found out about the situation. This situation made her restless, especially the bones on the ground. It gave her a bad premonition. In this pitch-black cave, this bad premonition expanded endlessly in her heart. Even though Lu Yuhan's mental state was extraordinary, she was unable to resist it.
After all, no matter how extraordinary her perception was and how extraordinary her mental state was, she had never faced death before. She had never experienced the torment of death. Therefore, there was a limit to how high her mental state could be.
However, seeing that Qin Yu was still calm, Lu Yuhan was slightly unconvinced. How could an ordinary disciple of the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect have such a mental state?
If she did not hear Qin Yu's breathing, Lu Yuhan would have thought that Qin Yu was dead.
As time passed, Lu Yuhan became more and more restless. She paced back and forth in the cave. However, Qin Yu remained as still as a mountain. He calmly thought about his current situation and tried to find a way to escape.
"Something's not right. I heard the whistling of the wind earlier. If this cave is really deep, how could I hear it?
No … that's not right either. Even when I shouted, there was no response. How could the wind … "Qin Yu calmly pondered. After a long time, his eyes flashed.
"Is this … a formation?"
Qin Yu's heart moved. He thought about Dao Hong's illusory formation and thought carefully, "If this is a formation, then it should be an illusory formation. However, how do I break it?
And this woman … is she a real person or …? "
It had to be said that Qin Yu was afraid of Dao Hong's illusory formation. After confirming that this was a formation, he could not help but think of Lu Yuhan as a person in the illusory formation.
While Qin Yu was deep in thought, Lu Yuhan could not help but ask, "Are you really an outer disciple of the Hundred Refinements Ancient Sect?"
"In this situation, is it important who I am?" Qin Yu suddenly opened his mouth and scolded coldly.
In the darkness, Lu Yuhan's eyebrows were wide open. Her chest heaved up and down violently. This … this outer disciple actually dared to scold me?
Lu Yuhan, who was already restless, was filled with killing intent. Just as she was considering whether to make a move now or wait a little longer, Qin Yu's voice rang out again.
