Zhen Ni continued to increase her speed, and at the same time, she activated her natural skills to continuously explore every inch of land she walked.
She and Ye Lan had been at Wild Wolf Peak for more than half an hour, but still found no trace of Shia. As time went by, an ominous premonition gradually filled their hearts.
"Jenny, there is no one here, what should I do? Shia can't disappear silently for so long. Even if there is a fight with the Golden Knife Gang, there should be some movement. Why can't there be any trace of the battle?"
Ye Lan's face was already full of sadness. She and Shia had a deep relationship. It was okay to say they were sisters of the opposite sex. Now that the other party had disappeared mysteriously, she was naturally very anxious.
Looking at the faintly protruding woods around her, Zhen Ni also frowned. The Wild Wolf Peak tonight was indeed very strange. She and Ye Lan had searched for such a long time, and the area covered was not small. Not only did they not find The traces of the Golden Knife Gang and Shia, and even the bandits who usually stay here, have disappeared.
Along the way, she found traces of some campfires and camps, but they had basically been abandoned for some days. What made these murderous gangsters abandon such a good hiding place?
"Ye Lan, don't worry. There is an area ahead that was allocated to Shia before. Let's talk about it later. Be careful. I always feel that there is something wrong with this Wild Wolf Peak."
Although she was in a state of confusion, Zhen Ni still managed to calm down her uneasiness. She knew that the most important thing was to find Shia's location as soon as possible instead of lingering and worrying.
The long red paint stick was held tightly in his hand, and even Ye Lan was ready to fight at any time at Zhen Ni's request. The two of them climbed up a small steep slope by the moonlight and continued to look for the remains of their companions. The clues below.
"Jenny, look, there are marks here, they must have been left by Shia."
Ye Lan, who was leaning over to examine every rock, suddenly let out a scream of surprise. Zhen Ni, who was a hundred steps away, also raised her head suddenly, and then she flashed and quickly arrived at the location of the mark.
"This is our Qingfeng Sect's special safety mark. It means that Shia not only discovered the Golden Knife Gang's stronghold, but also found out the opponent's defense measures. It does not pose a threat to us."
Ye Lan was beaming as she spoke. She had finally waited for the good news after worrying for such a long time. She couldn't wait to raise her legs and want to continue walking forward, hoping to quickly meet up with Shia.
But at the next moment, a circular pothole suddenly appeared on the originally solid hillside. Ye Lan, who was cheering for joy just a moment ago, took a step and disappeared in front of Zhen Ni.
"Ye Lan!"
Before she could think about it, her legs suddenly exerted force, and Zhen Ni flew forward, but she still missed a step, and watched helplessly as Ye Lan's figure was swallowed up by the darkness in the pit.
Without any hesitation, Zhen Ni got up and swung a stick to expand the hole that could only allow one person to pass through. Then she jumped up, leaving the hot night on the Wild Wolf Peak behind her.
Under the pothole was a long slide, which was extremely steep at first. Zhen Ni had to rub her palms against the ground to slow down her slide. After about twenty or thirty breaths, it gradually became smoother.
….
With the appearance of a little light, the end of the passage finally revealed its true identity. Regardless of the burning pain in her body, Zhen Ni immediately stood up and looked around, and found that she was actually in an extremely spacious cave.
"Ye Lan! Are you okay?"
Regardless of studying why this cave is connected to the slope of Wild Wolf Peak, Zhen Ni quickly rushed to Ye Lan who was lying on his back on the ground. A pure energy of heaven and earth was injected into his body, which made him faint. The female disciple of Qingfeng Sect woke up and turned around.
"It hurts so much. Where is this place? Why are there still torches? Could it be?"
Ye Lan's ribs were broken several times by the fall. If she hadn't been a monk in the pill-forming realm, this slip would have cost her half of her life.
At this moment, she opened her eyes in a daze, and what came into view was Zhen Ni's concerned face, as well as the blazing torches hanging on the surrounding rock walls.
"This should be the stronghold of the Golden Knife Gang. No wonder they have avoided the empire's previous raids. It turns out that they secretly moved the Wild Wolf Peak
A mountain was hollowed out and hidden inside. No, such a large-scale cave cannot be dug out by bandits like them. It should be naturally formed, but they have occupied the magpie's nest. "
Zhen Ni quickly analyzed the existing information and quickly came to the conclusion. However, although the cave was bright, there was no sound at all. There was only a faint odor looming, which made people feel extremely strange.
"Shia must have found the entrance on the hillside, so she left a mark. Let's hurry in and meet her. The terrain here is narrow, which is not conducive to Shia's skills. She will most likely need our support."
After gritting her teeth and taking two healing pills, Ye Lan has regained her mobility. Looking into the dark depths of the cave, a trace of fear flashed through her heart involuntarily, but this emotion was soon overtaken by her desire to rescue her friend. Driven by anxiety, she opened her mouth to suggest moving on.
"This cave is very strange. How can I put it... It just makes me feel like I'm in danger. Logically speaking, even if it's the stronghold of the Golden Knife Gang, it shouldn't be like this."
"Ye Lan, in this case, you go out along the slide first and wait for us on the hillside. I will go in to find Shia. Within an hour, if we don't come out, you can go back to Huiyue City immediately to find Jin Fuxuan's blessing. Uncle, let him send someone to rescue us."
At the critical moment, Zhen Ni's steady style of dealing with things came into play. Ye Lan was now injured. It would not be helpful to let her follow her deeper into the cave. It would be better to let her serve as "insurance". If Shia really encountered a powerful Enemy, then at least there is a chance to ask for help from the outside world.
"Well, okay, then be careful, I'll wait for you outside."
Ye Lan is usually known for being calm and composed, but this time it was because it was about Shia, so he seemed a little irritable. Now when he heard Zhen Ni's arrangement, he immediately understood the intention and immediately agreed.
Before leaving, she gave Zhen Ni the only two healing pills she had left. As a disciple of a small sect, this was her entire family fortune, but she still had no hesitation in facing the safety of her companions. .
Watching Ye Lan go away, Zhen Ni readjusted her aura within a day, and with the help of the Tiansheng Jue, she quickly returned to her peak condition.
"Shia, hold on, I'm here to save you."
The long red paint stick was raised in front of her, and Zhen Ni turned on a high alert state. Her steps became faster and faster, and she plunged into the depths of the dark cave in an instant.
