Chapter 479 "The Text from the Bones (p1)"
The girls already knew it wouldn"t be good when they heard that familiar voice. Sure enough, following a loud rumbling crash from the outside, the exit to the cave was now sealed off by a series of rocks.
“Chen Minzhi, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” A"bone was filled with grief at her own folly.
“Humph, you can only blame yourself A"bone. If you had listened to me and become mine, then maybe I could"ve taken you in as my concubine. Now you can only die inside that hole. Go, ignite the oil and burn them alive inside!"
Chen Minzhi had always been a very suspicious person. Although he"s gained the power of the b.e.a.s.t.i.a.l Sect using the secret method he learned by coincidence, but after seeing the oddity in the elephant"s appearance, he could already somewhat guess the reasoning.
As the flames burned and the air growing less and less due to the heat, A"bone could only make a bittersweet smile at herself.
“Chief, it"s all my fault for putting you in this situation. Chen Minzhi, even if I become a ghost after this, I won"t let you go!" One wrong step, that"s all it took for her to spiral into this unfortunate ending.
“Don"t be so discouraged yet A"bone, we still have Jin Wu Monster and Sister Caier out there. I"m sure they will come save us." The flames were blazing like the evening sunset outside, even so, Ling Yue never gave up and continued to seek out the last traces of clues inside.
“Chief, you don"t need to keep comforting me, this cave has no other exit. And since it"s so secretive, it"s likely the two of them won"t find us until dawn at least. By then my powers would be lost even if we can survive this fire."
“Hold on, look over there A"bone!" Just when her friend was about to fall into despair, Ling Yue suddenly points to the skeleton which belonged to the previous leader of the b.e.a.s.t.i.a.l Sect.
Originally the bones over in that corner didn"t show any signs of warranting their extra attention; however, that instantly changed when it began to glow a faint green light like that of a firefly and revealed the text hidden within!
The air was getting thinner and thinner while the toxic fumes from the burning oil only got worse as it grew. It won"t be long before the smoke fills the entire cave and suffocate the pair.
“A"bone, hold onto the skeleton!"
There"s no time for delay so without thinking at all, Ling Yue immediately activated her powers to transfer them all away.
Sure enough, seconds after their disappearance, the entire cave had come tumbling down.
When A"bone returned her senses, they were already in new grounds of fragrance and birdsong.
“Is this a fairyland?” Dumbfounded by the wondrous scene after coming to her senses, the wild girl almost thought she was in the afterlife.
It was truly a paradise: A rainbow-colored lake, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, all kinds of fruits growing off of the branches, bees and b.u.t.terflies fluttering about, and the two straw shacks nearby that gave this a serene vibe that refreshed her very soul.
She originally thought the ancient forest was already the most beautiful place on the whole continent, but compared with the world in front of herself, the ancient forests doesn"t seem to amount to much now.
