As the power of the lightning tribulation increased, the ground under their feet shook more and more violently. Some places had begun to faintly crack, as if a big crack would appear in the next second.
Even the silk cage that had enveloped them these days began to tremble. Qin Rou and Yan Yue looked at each other and immediately understood each other's meaning. There was hope for them to get out!
He brought everyone to a certain place at the edge of the cage. This was the weakest part of the entire cage. When they first discovered this place, they had gathered everyone together, intending to gather everyone's strength to break it open. However, in the end, it was futile.
But now, they didn't know who caused the lightning tribulation to weaken the power of the cage. They all understood that this was their only chance to get out.
The heavens didn't disappoint those who worked hard. When everyone's spiritual power was almost exhausted, another bolt of lightning struck, and the power of the cage weakened a lot. Under everyone's full attack, a small hole slowly appeared and became bigger and bigger. When it could accommodate a person, Qin Rou immediately asked those with the lowest cultivation to leave one by one.
This period of time was long, but also short.
In the end, only Yan Yue and Qin Rou were left. Qin Rou looked at the hole that had become much smaller and smiled faintly. "Yan Yue, you go first. I'll stay behind. After all, I've been at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage for a longer time than you. This little thing won't be difficult for me."
Yan Yue stared at her for a while. Seeing that she had no intention of letting go, Yan Yue was in a bit of a dilemma. If she really went out, with Qin Rou's current strength, she definitely wouldn't be able to come out.
Alas!
They clearly hadn't known each other for long. Why was there such a stupid woman?
Time waits for no one. Those who went out had already run away. For a moment, only the two of them were left. Yan Yue closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she turned to Qin Rou and said, "Close your eyes first. I'll go out!"
Qin Rou blinked and smiled sweetly. She obediently closed her eyes.
Seeing that she had really closed her eyes, Yan Yue slowly withdrew her right hand that was constantly casting spells. Fear, terror, hatred, destruction … all kinds of extreme negative emotions slid through her heart. The tips of her five fingers began to lengthen and harden. Most of her fingers turned a horrifying dark blue. Occasionally, there would be a sizzling sound, and a snake-like light would flash across her fingers, but it would suddenly disappear.
Traces of the power of lightning wrapped around his fingertips, which had already changed color. His entire right hand grew thicker, and the dormant power slowly awakened. His blood flowed ten times faster than usual, and his heart beat at an uncountable frequency.
Yan Yue's face was terrifyingly red. Cold sweat flowed down from her forehead, cheeks, and neck. She slowly raised her right hand as if she had used up all her strength.
Looking at the hole that had become much smaller, Yan Yue stepped forward and waved her right hand at the shrinking hole. There was a sizzling sound that could be heard. It even covered the sound of the thunder tribulation in the distance.
The originally small hole was suddenly torn open and became ten times bigger. Now, not to mention one person, even ten people could pass through it.
Yan Yue grabbed Qin Rou, who still had her eyes closed and didn't know what was going on. Then she rushed out with her.
The emotions in her heart hadn't faded yet. Yan Yue turned around and coldly looked at the cage that had imprisoned her for more than 20 days. Her eyes flashed with anger. The power of lightning in her hand became more and more ordinary, and the sizzling sound became louder and louder. "Ah!"
It let out a loud roar and swung its claws down heavily. The light of the silk cage flickered. In the end, it couldn't withstand the attack and exploded with a bang. The cage disappeared and the spiritual energy began to dissipate.
The negative emotions slowly disappeared from the bottom of her heart and her eyes slowly became clear again. Yan Yue's limp body was immediately supported by Qin Rou.
"Yan –" Yan Yue knew that Qin Rou must have a lot of questions, so Yan Yue interrupted her first. "Don't ask!
I need two hours. "
After she finished speaking, she pushed Qin Rou away and sat down to meditate. She took out a pill from her bag of holding and ate it. Her fingertips had returned to their original color and her nails had returned to their original length. Her thick right hand had also returned to its original slender state.
Yan Yue used all the spirit energy in her body to repair her entire right hand, including her bones and veins. She didn't miss a single spot.
Two hours was enough for this kind of external injury.
"Are you done?" Seeing that Yan Yue finally opened her eyes, Qin Rou immediately approached and asked.
"Yes!
Let's go! "
"Okay, I'll help you!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Yan Yue's response and stepped forward to pull her up. Yan Yue didn't push her away because her body was indeed a bit weak and she didn't have much strength.
The lightning tribulation had already stopped. Qin Rou pulled Yan Yue carefully towards the place where the lightning tribulation had occurred. Yan Yue frowned. She didn't understand why Qin Rou wanted to get close to this place. According to her personality, she would stay as far away from this kind of place as possible. However, seeing the excitement in Qin Rou's eyes, Yan Yue didn't want to refuse. She would just treat it as accompanying Qin Rou!
What entered her eyes was a scene of devastation. Flowers, plants, and trees had all fallen. The ground was riddled with holes, and there were all kinds of dead or dying small fish lying on the ground. Their mouths were weakly opening and closing, as if they wanted to breathe again.
The specks of red merged with the broken ice and turned into thin streams of blood that slowly seeped into the ground.
A super deep pit appeared in the middle of the mess. Water slowly began to emerge from the bottom of the pit.
Seeing this scene, Yan Yue and Qin Rou felt a little uncomfortable. They didn't speak and each chose a direction to transfer life energy and spiritual power to the small fish that were still alive. Then, they put them back into the big pit that had already begun to emerge. But even so, they could only save less than one-tenth of them. The lightning tribulation was too powerful, and not many could survive.
A gust of wind and a wisp of flame burned away the previous sorry state. After doing all this, the two of them sat on the ground with their backs against each other in exhaustion. Looking at the empty space around them, they actually felt like laughing for some inexplicable reason.
"Ah!
Yan Yue!
Tell me, aren't we very funny?
We didn't save the poor people in the Great Thousand World, but we saved these poor fish. Ah!
I don't understand, I don't understand! "
Yan Yue shrugged and replied indifferently, "I wanted to save them, so I saved them." Indeed, she didn't think so much. She just did what she wanted to do!
She didn't have to find a reason for everything she wanted to do.
Qin Rou did the same thing as her. It seemed that in this regard, they were indeed the same!
Just as she was thinking, Qin Rou took advantage of Yan Yue's distraction and slapped her butt. "Ha!
What are you thinking?
Why are you so engrossed? "
Yan Yue glanced at her coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "What, are, you, doing?"
"Doing?"
Qin Rou pretended to look at Yan Yue blankly, as if she didn't understand what she was asking. However, a perverted claw reached out from behind her and quickly touched Yan Yue's butt again. Then, she immediately ran away. "Hahaha!
I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything!
If you have the ability, come and chase me! "
"Qin!
Rou! "
An angry roar sounded behind her. In less than two breaths, Yan Yue caught up with Qin Rou. In terms of speed, Yan Yue was definitely one of the best among those in the same cultivation level.
Yan Yue pressed down on the woman who had dared to molest her twice. However, she was slightly conflicted in her heart. It was not realistic to hit or scold her. Could it be that she could not touch her back? That was also impossible. It was like being bitten by a dog. She could not bite her back!
It was not good to be molested. Go back!
No matter how she thought about it, she was at a disadvantage.
So for a moment, Yan Yue stood there, not knowing what to do with this woman!
As if knowing what Yan Yue was thinking, Qin Rou couldn't help but laugh. The anger in Yan Yue's eyes deepened. She sneered, "I think you shouldn't be called Qin Rou in the future. Just call yourself 'Beast'." She especially emphasized the word 'beast'. After that, she got up, clapped her hands and left without looking back.
"Beast?
Hey!
I'm not a beast. I don't want to be called Beast!
Hey!
Wait!
Hey!
I was wrong. Yan Yue, Little Yue Yue!
Yue Zai!
Wait for me!
Yue Yue! "Qin Rou got up from the ground and chased after Yan Yue while shouting.
A small greyish black bead flew out of the mouth of a small fish that Yan Yue had saved. It circled above the waterhole a few times and suddenly sped up towards Yan Yue. Yan Yue and Qin Rou didn't notice this small black bead. They continued to bicker as they walked out of the mountain. The small bead fell into Yan Yue's sleeve and rolled around twice before quietly stopping. Yan Yue didn't notice it at all.
She walked out step by step without stopping, ignoring the woman who kept calling her name behind her!
It was already two days later when they walked out of the mountain. Yan Yue and Qin Rou arrived at a simple inn. They each booked a room and planned to wash away the fatigue of these days before having a good night's sleep. They really didn't get a good night's sleep during the days they were imprisoned.
After the two greeted each other, they entered their respective rooms and set up a defensive formation at the same time. Only then did they settle down and do their own things.
On Cloudy Mountain, beside the Ice Spring Lake, two hoarse voices broke the tranquility of the night. The figures reflected on the surface of the lake were as skinny as firewood. Their hawk-like and wolf-like eyes occasionally flashed with a sinister gaze under the moonlight. Their voices were so hoarse that they sounded like old men.
"Damned person, who dares to break my cage!"
"Yohohoho!
There's not a single living person within a hundred li of this place. If you want to escape punishment, you should have a better reason!
Tsk tsk!
I'm really embarrassed for you! "
His voice was as shrill as a baby's cry. After the man finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a plop.
"Keep your mouth shut!"
"You, you, you dare to sneak attack me?"
"If you say one more word, I don't mind sending you to the 'Steep Valley' to experience life!"
The man who stood in place pouted angrily. He angrily looked at the guy who flung his sleeves and stepped on his sword and left. "You dare to threaten me? Don't think that I won't dare to do anything just because you have Hall Master Si backing you up. Hmph!
Just wait and see. One day, I will make you cry and beg me! "After saying that, the man stepped out and stood on a folding fan. With a whoosh, he disappeared!
The entire mountain forest suddenly became inexplicably quiet. There was no sound of insects. Even the wind seemed to have forgotten about this place. Only the faint silver light of the moon caressed this quiet land, waiting for the arrival of the morning sun …
