Chapter 307: Life is over
Chapter 307: Life is over
Ru Yue followed closely behind Ah Ling, running through the cave at lightning speed. Compared to the time when she followed Chu Ning'an before, this speed was incomparable.
A Ling seemed to know the routes here very well. Even when he encountered a complicated crossroads, he only needed to pause for a moment before he could make the right decision quickly and decisively.
I don’t know when it started, but originally Ru Yue was trying hard to keep up with A Ling’s pace, but now A Ling is the one who is dragging Ru Yue and running all the way.
The two of them twisted and turned in the dark and deep cave, and in the blink of an eye they had forgotten time and direction.
Strangely enough, despite such a long and intense run, Ru Yue not only did not feel exhausted, but even her breathing was only slightly rapid.
Perhaps it was because she was too focused on following A Ling, or perhaps it was the mysterious power in the cave, but in any case, she did not notice the change in her condition.
In this way, the two ran tirelessly and time passed quietly.
Suddenly, a huge stone wall appeared in front of them as if it had fallen from the sky, blocking their way forward.
Ru Yue came to an abrupt stop, nearly crashing into the stone wall. She stared at the towering stone wall in front of her with wide eyes, and blurted out in astonishment: "Huh! Have we reached the end?"
As soon as the words fell, the buzzing echo reverberated back and forth in the empty cave for a long time.
Ah Ling also had a suspicious look on his face, his bright eyes fixed on the stone wall, his brow furrowed. His snow-white hair swayed without a breeze, adding a touch of mystery to his expression.
"It's really strange, it shouldn't be like this..." A Ling muttered to himself, seeming to be lost in deep thought.
"A Ling, what's wrong?" Ru Yue's heart tightened when she saw A Ling's confused expression. She asked with concern, "Did you encounter any problems? Or is there something wrong?"
After hearing Ru Yue's question, A Ling did not answer her immediately. Instead, he frowned slightly and stared at the cave wall in front of him, as if trying to find some clues from it.
When Ru Yue saw A Ling's abnormal behavior, her heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to her mind.
You know, A Ling is always so calm and composed on weekdays. Now that he has lost his composure, he must have encountered some extremely difficult trouble.
Thinking of this, Ru Yue decided not to disturb A Ling's thoughts anymore. She walked silently in the opposite direction of him and began to carefully feel around on the stone wall, imitating him, even though she didn't know what she was looking for.
The cave was extremely dark, with no sunlight or moonlight able to penetrate, so it was impossible to distinguish between day and night. However, the strange thing was that although the light inside the cave was insufficient, it was not pitch black, and the faint light was just enough for them to see everything in the cave clearly.
Time passes by unknowingly, and every minute and every second seems especially long.
Neither of them spoke, but just looked quietly up and down and left and right along the stone wall, trying to find a clue or a way out to solve the problem.
"Ah!" Ru Yue's scream suddenly came.
Hearing the sound, A Ling turned around suddenly, but there was nothing but the cold stone wall in front of him, and no sign of Ru Yue.
"Sister, sister!" A Ling was extremely anxious and shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice echoed in the empty environment, but apart from his own shouting, there was dead silence all around, and no response came at all.
A Ling's heart instantly rose to his throat, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He calmed himself down and quickly concentrated his mind, trying to get in touch with Ru Yue through his spiritual sense.
However, what surprised him was that no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach Ru Yue's sea of consciousness, as if there was an invisible barrier separating them.
This astonishing discovery made A Ling feel like he was struck by lightning and he stood there in shock.
After a brief moment of distraction, he suddenly woke up from a dream and ran towards the place where Ru Yue had just stood.
After arriving at the destination, he stretched out his hands in a panic, groping and knocking around randomly up and down, left and right, hoping to find some clues or hidden mechanism buttons.
But after all the trouble, there was still nothing unusual around.
Although he couldn't establish direct contact with Ruyue yet, Ah Ling, sensing their distance and situation, determined they weren't far apart. Furthermore, judging by the current situation, Ruyue wasn't in any significant danger. Otherwise, he would surely have been forcibly taken to her location by a mysterious force.
However, the powerful spiritual energy that he sensed when he just stepped into this place has now become even more majestic and vast, like a surging wave that is constantly flowing towards him.
This powerful feeling of oppression made Ah Ling feel difficulty breathing, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
At this moment, Ru Yue, who was in the darkness, had no idea what kind of trap she had triggered. She just felt her feet suddenly go empty, her body suddenly lost balance, and then she fell straight down like a falling meteor.
As her descent accelerated, the intense feeling of weightlessness washed over her like waves, leaving her dizzy and her mind practically blank. In this critical moment, Ru Yue forgot she could have ducked into space to avoid danger.
At this moment, the only thought that flashed through her mind was: This time I might really have to say goodbye to Chu Ningan forever...
Ru Yue felt extremely desperate at this moment, her body kept falling in the air, as if she had lost all support and reliance.
She closed her eyes tightly and waved her hands in vain, trying to grab something to stop this terrible fall. However, there was only empty air around her, pushing her mercilessly into the unknown abyss.
Just when she thought she was about to fall heavily to the ground, suffering severe pain or even death, suddenly, she felt as if her body fell into something cold.
Strangely, the expected severe pain did not come, but instead a strange feeling spread throughout the body.
Ru Yue was startled and opened her eyes quickly to see what was happening. When she saw the scene clearly, she couldn't help but let out a terrified scream: "Ah!"
She had fallen into a huge, terrifying, bloody mouth! The mouth was wide open, filled with sharp teeth and a scarlet tongue, looking hideous and terrifying.
Ru Yue had never hated God as much as she did now.
She kept cursing in her heart: "What do you mean by being a good person for ten lifetimes? What do you mean by God's blessing? I never dared to hope that good people would be rewarded, but at least I could die a quick death! Now, I have ended up in such a hellish place..."
The more she thought about it, the angrier and more frightened she became, her heart filled with resentment towards the unfairness of fate.
In extreme panic, she began to pray silently in her heart to all the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas she knew. She even mentioned the omnipotent Monkey King Sun Wukong several times, hoping for a little salvation or a miracle.
However, as time passed, the horrifying pain of being torn into pieces never came.
Ru Yue is still in this strange and terrifying situation, not knowing what is waiting for her next.
Her heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She carefully tried to open one eye quietly. At first, her vision was blurry, but as her vision gradually became clear, she did not see the creepy, blood-stained face she had imagined.
After a brief sigh of relief, she mustered her courage and slowly opened her other eye. Before she could fully react, a massive head suddenly slammed into her face with lightning speed. The intimacy reminded her of the docile, lovable dog she had raised in her previous life.
But just a moment later, she was ruthlessly pulled back by reality - the pair of vertical pupils as bright and flashing as lanterns were clearly presented in front of her eyes, telling her clearly: this is not a docile big dog, but a real big snake!
Although the Tai Chi Yin Yang Snake had entered her space, she dared to swear to heaven that she had never had the slightest intention of hurting them!
At this moment, she was filled with despair and fear, and a question kept echoing in her mind: Which god had she offended to suffer such cruel punishment from God?
This time, my life is completely ruined in this dark and gloomy cave!
