"It's really 'soul-eating'!" Ling'er exclaimed and couldn't help but start to feel scared. If Qi Yang hadn't grabbed her just now, she might have fallen into the ditch and her life would have been lost.
Qi Yang felt some discomfort in his knees, so he stood up and returned the torch to Ling'er.
"It seems that this water is not drinkable." Ling'er said with some regret.
"The disciples of the Burying Moon Sect who broke through the barrier were probably already hungry and thirsty when they arrived here, so the designer of the mechanism 'kindly' prepared a bowl for them to drink to quench their thirst." Qi Yang pointed to a few stones on the ground. Wan said.
"Drink 'Soul Erosion'?" Ling'er felt horrified just thinking about it.
"When they are extremely hungry and thirsty, how many people will be wary of whether there is poison in the water? This is a test of whether the challenge breaker can resist the temptation and calm down to think under extraordinary circumstances." Qi Yang said.
"But there is a pool of poisonous water outside the secret realm. Anyone would be careful, right?" Ling'er said.
"No. The poisonous water pouring killing array when you first enter the secret realm is prepared for people like us who break in without permission. If the disciples of the Buried Moon Sect want to enter the 'Blood Cave' to break through, they will definitely be told to jump over the first step inside the door. Seven stone pillars. That way the mechanism of poisonous water intrusion will not be triggered, and they don't even know that the lake water outside is poisonous." Qi Yang explained.
"That's it." Ling'er nodded.
"The poisonous water here probably doesn't flow all year round, but started pouring into it after the stone gate of this secret realm was opened." Qi Yang added.
"This 'blood cave' is really scary! If you are not careful, you will get caught." Ling'er said with emotion.
Qi Yang looked at the murals on the stone wall and thought: "What we have to face next is the most terrifying test in the 'Blood Cave'."
Ling'er asked Qi Yang: "Where is this place?"
"Girl, you will know after reading these murals." Qi Yang turned back and said to Ling'er.
After hearing this, Ling'er looked at the ditch blocking her eyes and frowned. Although the ditch was not wide and could be crossed with a single jump, she still had lingering fear in her heart.
Qi Yang saw Ling'er's thoughts and took a step forward to lift Ling'er and carry him across the ditch.
Ling'er was touched by Qi Yang's thoughtfulness and looked up at him affectionately.
Their eyes met, and ripples appeared in Qi Yang's heart.
When they looked at each other, both of them were attracted by the endless affection in each other's eyes and couldn't extricate themselves.
I don't know how long it took before Qi Yang came to his senses and took a step back to avoid Ling'er's gaze.
Ling'er didn't feel disappointed or sad, because Ling'er had confirmed his affection in Qi Yang's eyes. Even if he still wants to avoid it now, how can he avoid the relationship if he wants to?
Qi Yang was a little annoyed. How could his heart accidentally fall into Ling'er's affection? And the self-control he was originally proud of had completely disappeared in front of Ling'er?
Seeing Qi Yang being awkward there, Ling'er quickly diverted his attention and asked, "Where should I start looking at these murals?"
Qi Yang turned his head and pointed the direction for Ling'er.
Ling'er walked over with a torch.
The mural depicts several people fighting with violent and violent movements. Rather than saying it was a fight, it was more of a desperate effort.
In a fierce fight, everyone was injured, and one person fell to the ground.
The situation depicted in the next mural is even more horrifying. Several other people actually surrounded the loser who fell on the ground, using various sharp instruments to cut open the blood vessels on his body, and used stone bowls to catch his blood.
"Are those stone bowls they used to collect blood?" Ling'er asked Qi Yang in shock, pointing to the stone bowls behind them.
Qi Yang did not answer. He regretted letting Ling'er see these murals. Perhaps he should, like Ji Cangyu, keep Ling'er away from these inhumane killings and protect Ling'er from the bloody storms in the world.
Seeing Qi Yang lowering his eyes and saying nothing, Ling'er didn't ask any more questions and turned around to continue reading.
"Stop looking!" Qi Yang changed his mind and pulled Ling'er to his side, preventing her from looking at the mural.
This aroused Ling'er's curiosity and made her want to read more.
Seeing that Ling'er was about to turn his head to look at the mural again, Qi Yang begged: "Be obedient! Stop looking!"
"Why?" Ling'er was puzzled.
"I'm afraid of scaring you." Qi Yang explained.
"Is it so scary?" Ling'er frowned.
Qi Yang sighed softly and said: "No matter how scary those things are, they have nothing to do with us. Girl, please stop looking."
"Yeah." Ling'er nodded, and sure enough didn't look back.
However, the next moment she was so shocked that she dropped the torch to the ground.
It turns out that Ling'er doesn't have to look back at all, as long as he raises his head, he can see other murals. Although the murals are different, the general content is the same, that is, a group of people fighting each other, and finally someone falls down, and everyone gathers around to finish him off. The only difference is that fewer and fewer people are fighting, and then they die one by one.
Linger was really frightened! She opened her eyes wide and asked Qi Yang in disbelief: "They...are drinking human blood?"
Qi Yang saw that Ling'er was so frightened that he lost his soul. With a thought, he took her into his arms and comforted her: "That's just a mural!"
"No! That's not just a mural! That's the 'cannibalism' that Uncle Ji said!" Linger shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with us. I won't let the girl get hurt!" Qi Yang comforted her softly.
"Really?" Ling'er looked up and asked stupidly.
"I promise!" Qi Yang answered her firmly.
Ling'er finally felt at ease, buried her head in Qi Yang's chest, and wiped her tears on his robe.
At this, Qi Yang shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of doting that he didn't even notice.
Snuggled in Qi Yang's arms, Ling'er's heart gradually calmed down.
Although Qi Yang's body temperature will be lower than ordinary people due to the "Hundred Days Powder", his embrace makes Ling'er feel very warm, which makes Ling'er greedy.
If it weren't for the worry that Qi Yang was injured and would get tired if he leaned against her for a long time, Ling'er wouldn't be willing to leave this warm embrace.
Ling'er stood up straight, looked at Qi Yang with a flushed face, and explained in a low voice: "Actually, I'm not that timid. I just didn't expect that the person in the painting would do such an unjust thing."
"In some cases, they have no other choice." Qi Yang said with his hands behind his back.
Ling'er thought for a while and asked, "Are you saying that they have been trapped in the stone room for too long and are unbearably hungry and thirsty?"
"This is one of them." Qi Yang replied.
"What about the second one?" Ling'er asked again.
Qi Yang hesitated for a moment, then frowned and replied: "To pass the later levels, a lot of blood is needed. This is where the word 'blood cave' comes from."
Linger was shocked when he heard this.
