It was very dark in the cave, and it could even be said that you couldn't see even your fingers.
Fortunately, Mu Yichang and Xiao Yuesheng's cultivation was enough to see their surroundings clearly.
Mu Yichang held Gu Liuzhang's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Azhang, just follow the master."
She clearly felt that the man's hand tightened, and she hummed with a trembling voice.
In the quiet cave, there is occasionally the sound of water dripping in the soil, which is very obvious in the quiet atmosphere.
Suddenly, there was a click under Xiao Shuyu's feet, which seemed to be the sound of clods of soil being crushed.
This sound echoed in the cave, and then a thin rustling sound roared out.
In the darkness, countless bats rushed over.
The four of them raised their hands to cover their faces, but were accidentally separated by bats.
Mu Yichang felt that her palms were empty, and it was already too late to grab Gu Liushang's hand.
She didn't even have time to think about whether her whereabouts would be discovered, and shouted: "Ah Zhan!"
"Master..." The man's voice gradually weakened until it disappeared. Mu Yichang's heart seemed to be gripped by something, which completely panicked her.
When she finally got rid of the impact of the bat and opened her eyes again, she had been taken into a cave.
This is not the cave just now, it seems to be a trap, or some barrier under the cave.
And there was only Xiao Shuyu beside her.
"Ah Zhan! Ah Zhan!!" She called his name one after another, but got no response.
It looked like they were completely dispersed.
Mu Yichang couldn't help but feel worried. For the first time, she regretted why she didn't let him practice well in the first place.
His current cultivation level can be said to be almost non-existent. If he is caught by the rat demon, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Mu Yichang took a few deep breaths and tried to keep herself calm.
The more times like this, the less she can panic. Ah Zhan is still waiting for her. She can't be too nervous. This will not be good for Ah Zhan.
After a while, Mu Yichang calmed down and looked around to explore the situation, completely forgetting about Xiao Shuyu.
Xiao Shuyu narrowed her eyes and looked at Mu Yichang in front of her with a malicious look.
It was all because of her that she should have been killed when she was in the Demon Locking Pavilion.
Even though her reputation was humiliated, the master was still willing to accompany her, which really hurt Xiao Shuyu's pain.
Master would rather have a woman that someone else has his hands on than her? !
Thinking of this, Xiao Shuyu gritted her teeth and quietly approached Mu Yichang from behind.
She took advantage of Mu Yichang's search for a way out of the cave to launch an attack.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yichang just turned her head slightly and easily dodged her attack.
Mu Yichang nimbly jumped behind her and slapped her back with her backhand.
There was a heart-eating nail hidden in her palm, which pierced her heart accurately.
With the slap on the back, Xiao Shuyu couldn't find anything as small as the heart-eating nail.
She just took a few steps back in pain and glared at Mu Yichang fiercely.
Mu Yichang sneered: "If I were you, you wouldn't attack me at this time. You are no match for me. If you don't want to die, you'd better give me peace of mind. I'm too lazy to kill you, so don't force me Take action."
Xiao Shuyu was upset because she missed her only chance in the Demon Locking Pavilion. With her cultivation level, she couldn't kill Mu Yichang at all.
Even a sneak attack from behind would be discovered by her.
Xiao Shuyu gritted his teeth, but could only stop.
Mu Yichang knocked on the stone wall left and right, and finally found a hollow.
She put her ear against the cave wall and vaguely heard some thin rustling sounds coming from there, which must be the presence of living creatures.
Mu Yichang took a step back and summoned a long sword in her hand.
And Xiao Shuyu also saw the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of her. Maybe there would be an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Just when Mu Yichang struck down with his sword, the man really made a move.
Mu Yichang stood up and thrust her sword into the cave above, hanging herself above the cave.
Xiao Shuyu jumped away, staggered and fell to the ground.
At this moment, a dense group of rats swarmed in and rushed out like crazy.
It turned out that the thin rustling sound was not a human voice at all, but a gathering place of mice.
The rats swamped Xiao Shuyu almost instantly, and the smell of blood suddenly filled the air.
Xiao Shuyu's screams echoed in the cave.
Mu Yichang watched helplessly as Xiao Shuyu was bitten by a mouse, and blood filled the air. After a moment, she no longer looked human.
At the same time, Gu Liushang and Xiao Yuesheng were swept away by the bat.
The moment the bat struck, Gu Liushang immediately let go of Mu Yichang's hand and saw the bat rushing away in the direction of Xiao Yuesheng.
This is a perfect opportunity to kill Xiao Yuesheng.
As long as he dies, Master will no longer be confused by him and will no longer like him.
Xiao Yuesheng waved away the dust in front of his eyes and saw Gu Liushang.
Although he thought Gu Liushan was weird, after all, he was a girl who was afraid of mice, so he could not help but care a little about him.
"Master Nephew, don't worry, I will take you to find your master." Xiao Yuesheng comforted him.
Gu Liushang pretended to be scared, carefully pulled his sleeve, and said, "Uncle, I'm scared."
After all, she was a girl. Xiao Yuesheng felt that her previous prejudice against Gu Liushang was a bit inexplicable, and now she felt a little guilty.
"Don't be afraid!"
The two of them walked forward along the place where they fell. In the darkness, Gu Liushang's eyes slowly turned red.
Faintly, a strong demonic aura filled the air.
The demonic aura was so strong that no one could ignore it. Xiao Yuesheng immediately became vigilant, subconsciously protecting Gu Liushang behind him and looking around.
But he didn't know that the real danger was behind him.
Just when Gu Liushang's slender claws were about to penetrate the back of Xiao Yuesheng's head, a mouse suddenly scurried past his feet. Gu Liushang was startled. He turned his hand and opened a large hole in the stone wall. The mouse got in through the hole in the wall.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuesheng quickly picked up Gu Liushang and stood up, holding it on the mountain wall with one hand.
Gu Liushang's eyes tightened, thinking that it was a pity that he almost succeeded.
But the man found no clue at all, and just said: "The direction of these mice should be to find the exit. If Master Nephew Gu is afraid, just cover his ears first. Don't worry."
Gu Liushang obediently covered his ears and said, "Uncle Xiao, my master...will nothing happen?"
Xiao Yuesheng said: "No, don't worry, she will be fine."
He was more worried about Xiao Shuyu's condition than Mu Yichang.
She didn't know what was going on recently. She seemed to have hit a bottleneck in her cultivation. She was retreating instead of making progress. Her cultivation level continued to decline, and her body seemed to be feeling unwell from time to time.
But when the doctor was invited to take a look, he couldn't find any problems, so Xiao Yuesheng just thought she was lazy.
Now that something like this happened, I don’t know if she was with Junior Sister Mu. If not, with her cultivation level, I’m afraid...
Xiao Yuesheng did not dare to continue thinking about it. At the moment, he could only save himself before he could save the other party.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a palm wind coming from behind, and he subconsciously dodged it.
At this time, he realized that Gu Liushang was still firmly on the stone wall without his support, and there was a bit of chill in his eyes.
"Gu Liushang?" Xiao Yuesheng called him in confusion.
Gu Liuzhang smiled, flew over and said, "Didn't Master Xiao say you want to protect me? Why are you so far away from me all of a sudden? I'm so scared!"
He spoke fearful words, but the fierceness in those peach blossom eyes was unparalleled.
Gu Liushang struck with a palm, and although Xiao Yuesheng dodged in time, his back still hit a protruding rock behind him, and a wound was opened on his back.
The smell of his blood instantly attracted the rat's attention.
Gu Liushang raised his lips and smiled and said, "What should I do, Master Xiao? These mice are back again. Master Xiao, help me... drive them away, okay?"
The smile on his face looked so crazy that it sent a chill down Xiao Yuesheng's back.
The next second, he fell off the stone wall inexplicably and fell directly into the group of rats.
But Xiao Yuesheng has the body of an immortal after all, and his cultivation has always been steady. Even though he is surrounded by rats at this moment, he is still able to turn the tide.
Gu Liushang stood at a high place, squinting at everything in front of him, as if waiting for Xiao Yuesheng to run out of strength and be swallowed up by the rats.
Xiao Yuesheng tried to jump to a high place several times, but found that the stone wall seemed to be enchanted by someone and could not be touched at all. Instead, it would bounce him away.
He frowned and looked at Gu Liushang. The man's face was still calm, as if he was watching a show.
Xiao Yuesheng didn't understand why he hated himself so much and wanted to put him to death.
Therefore, Xiao Yuesheng could only fight hard against the rats, otherwise he would be eaten up by the rats sooner or later.
To Gu Liushang's disappointment, those useless rats did not eat Xiao Yuesheng, but were killed by Xiao Yuesheng.
However, Xiao Yuesheng also suffered a lot of injuries. After all, it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, not to mention that he was facing thousands of rats.
After killing the last mouse, Xiao Yuesheng watched the man on the mountain wall slowly fall down.
Gu Liushang crossed his hands on his chest and said, "Uncle Xiao..."
Just when Xiao Yuesheng thought he would say something unexpected, the man just smiled and said: "You are so awesome. You kill so many mice at will?"
As he spoke, he kicked the rat corpse away from his feet to avoid soiling his embroidered shoes.
Xiao Yuesheng watched his actions quietly and narrowed his eyes, "Are you not afraid of mice at all?!"
This was not true. Gu Liuzhang was afraid of mice, but only to the extent that a sudden appearance of a mouse would startle him.
He shook his head, "I'm scared, of course I am."
Xiao Yuesheng said coldly: "You are lying to your master, are you deliberately teasing her?"
Gu Liushang sneered and said, "Uncle Xiao, what's wrong? Could it be that he was bitten by a rat demon and suffered from some kind of hysteria?"
After that, he slowly approached Xiao Yuesheng, but the man stepped back step by step, keeping a distance and vigilance from him.
"Is your cultivation just an act? You're not powerless at all, so you're not afraid of your master finding out?" Xiao Yuesheng didn't know what extent this man's cultivation was, and he was exhausted at the moment. It is inevitable to be vigilant.
Gu Liushang shook his head, "Uncle Xiao is wrong. It is true that I am not powerless, but my cultivation is not an act. I never said that I have no cultivation at all, right?"
This is true. Xiao Yuesheng's impression of his low cultivation level came entirely from Mu Yichang.
She always held Gu Liushang in her hands, and Gu Liushang always looked so cute in front of Mu Yichang, so that he had no idea about Gu Liushang's true situation.
Xiao Yuesheng frowned a little tighter, "What on earth... do you want?"
Gu Liushang smiled and said, "I didn't think anything of it. I just don't understand why Master Xiao seems to be afraid of me. I obviously... didn't do anything!"
Xiao Yuesheng's face was very ugly, and it had reached this level. This person could still lie to him without changing his face or heartbeat. It seemed that his usual coquettishness was just pretending.
"You want to kill me?" Xiao Yuesheng asked.
Gu Liushang shook his head, "How could it be? If I kill Master Xiao, Master will be angry."
If he had just taken the opportunity to kill Xiao Yuesheng, and then thrown his body into the rats, and the rats had eaten away the skin and flesh, the cause of Xiao Yuesheng's death would not have been clear.
Then he can tell his master: Master Xiao was bitten to death by a mouse while trying to save him.
But now that all the rats have been killed by Xiao Yuesheng, this reason is naturally no longer valid.
If he were to kill him at this time, Gu Liushang would have no reason.
When the two were in a stalemate, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.
Xiao Yuesheng turned around warily and saw Mu Yichang walking over carrying Xiao Shuyu who was covered in blood.
Before he could react, the man beside him had already rushed over.
"Master, Master..." he shouted as he rushed into Mu Yichang's arms.
Mu Yichang subconsciously went to hug him, but Xiao Shuyu, who had been chewed to the point of dying, fell to the ground.
Gu Liushang cried and hugged Mu Yichang tightly, "Master, I'm so scared. Why didn't you hold me properly? There are so many rats, so scary."
Mu Yichang patted his back again and again, "It's okay, it's okay. Are you injured?"
The man shook his head on her shoulder, which made Mu Yichang feel relieved.
It was okay, okay, as long as he wasn't hurt, she was worried too.
Xiao Yuesheng frowned even more when he saw that person's hypocritical performance, "Junior sister Mu...he..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Liushang poked his head out from Mu Yichang's shoulder and said, "Master, Uncle Xiao protected me. If it hadn't been for Uncle Xiao just now, I would have been bitten to death by a mouse."
He knew how to lie. Xiao Yuesheng wanted to say more, but someone suddenly grabbed his ankle.
Only then did he notice the person lying on the ground.
Just now, he was so focused on Gu Liushang that he didn't notice Xiao Shuyu, who was deformed into a human shape by being eaten.
Xiao Yuesheng knelt down and said, "Shu Yu?"
"Master...Master..." Xiao Shuyu's breath was weak, as if the air was coming in but not coming out.
