Chapter 172

The cave was dark. Yang Kai and Yunxia and the others were divided into two sides, all recovering themselves. From time to time, there was a rustling sound outside, which was the group of strange insects running back and forth.

Obviously, Yunxia and the other four people were not willing to wait for death. After recovering almost, they wanted to rush out. The few people were also discussing when they were recovering, whispering and being on guard against Yang Kai eavesdropping.

After almost a full day and night, they finally wanted to take action. They got up furtively and then slowly approached Yang Kai’s side. Yu Aoqing’s pretty face was filled with killing intent, and so was Miao Lin’s. As for Zhang Yu and Luo Qianqian, they closely followed behind them.

Just when they were less than one zhang away from Yang Kai, Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes and looked at them with a half-smile.

The four of Yun Xia froze.

Let me guess.” Yang Kai was at ease and spoke in a very low voice to avoid disturbing those bugs. “You don’t want to kill me right now, do you？

Yu Aoqing was as cold as ice. Hearing this, she said, “You know？”

Of course I know. Isn’t this your specialty？ Let others go ahead and bear the risk for you. I’ve already experienced it many times along the way. You want me to take the lead and charge out now, right？

Yu Aoqing nodded slightly and said coldly, “Since you know, don’t think about resisting. Otherwise, you’ll look good.”

Yang Kai sneered and said, “I’m indeed not your match, but if you want to kill me, I’m afraid you’ll have to spend some effort. If you’re not afraid that the sound of our fighting will disturb those bugs, just give it a try.”

Yu Aoqing’s expression froze. The reason she was being so cautious was because she was afraid of attracting the attention of those strange insects outside. Yang Kai clearly understood what she was up to, so he also spoke in a very low voice.

“Warn you, don’t have any ideas about me. If you want to escape, do it with your own abilities！” Yang Kai coldly snorted. “I won’t be your vanguard！”

“Don’t you want to escape？” Seeing that coercion didn’t work, Yu Aoqing’s tone softened a little. “These bugs caught us here. There must be no good thing. Staying here any longer will only lead to death. If you rush out with us, there might still be a way to survive！”

Yang Kai resolutely shook his head. “I do want to escape, but I don’t want to be used by others. Besides, even if I open the way for you all and everyone escapes to safety, how do I know you won’t attack me?”

“I can give you a promise！” Seeing that Yang Kai showed signs of loosening his stance, Yu Aoqing quickly struck while the iron was hot. “As long as you walk in the front and we can escape, no one from Yunxia Sect will cause you any trouble.”

“Needless to say, I won’t believe a woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion.” Yang Kai sneered and closed his eyes.

Yu Aoqing and the others didn’t know that the outside had been surrounded by the mist created by these strange insects, but Yang Kai was clear. Even if they could luckily escape from this insect cave, they wouldn’t be able to run too far.

Since that’s the case, why waste this energy.

“Senior Sister Qing, kill him！ Stubborn and unyielding, it’s useless to keep him！” Miao Lin had long harbored murderous intentions towards Yang Kai. Now that he saw that he couldn’t be used by himself, he naturally wanted to strike a fatal blow.

Yu Aoqing took a deep breath and slowly shook her head.

In this situation, escaping is the most important thing. Although this teenager is hateful killing him will definitely alarm those bugs, and the gain will not make up for the loss.

“You escape yours, I won’t disrupt your plan. Hehe, I also want to see if you can really leave here！” Yang Kai grinned and smiled at Yu Aoqing.

“May you be bitten and chewed by those bugs and die without a place to be buried！” Yu Aoqing cursed Yang Kai viciously, turned around and said to the other three people, “Let’s go！”

Yun Xia and the other four quietly left the cave. Perhaps because of the night, the few big bugs guarding outside were not alerted by their actions and still stood there stupidly.

Soon, the figures of the four people disappeared in the corridor.

But within half a cup of tea time, a fierce fighting sound came from outside, and the shouts of Yun Xia and the other four were mixed in it. Youdaoplaceholder1 they had exposed their tracks and been targeted by those parasites.

The fighting sound gradually faded away until it finally disappeared.

Yang Kai had a sneer on the corner of his mouth and remained unmoved, still sitting cross-legged.

Actually, it’s not difficult to escape from this insect cave, because these insects are not very difficult to deal with. Yunxia and the other three can run out when their tracks are discovered, and Yang Kai can naturally do it too. The only thing that traps him is those strange fogs. I don’t know how those insects created them. Their lethality is extremely huge, which makes Yang Kai quite afraid.

After about two hours or so, Yang Kai heard a burst of heavy footsteps outside.

He opened his eyes and took a look. He saw Yu Aoqing with her hair in a mess and looking extremely tired walking in, followed by Luo Qianqian, and then Miao Lin.

Zhang Yu wasn’t there. She should be more or less dead.

After those insects sent the three people back here again, the guards on the periphery became much tighter.

At this moment, the three people of Yunxia no longer had the previous arrogance. What was left was only despair and listlessness and fatigue. The wounds on their bodies, large and small, looked extremely miserable.

They did escape from the insect cave, but they were chased by the overwhelming strange insects with no way to escape. In the end, their hands were soft from killing but still couldn’t finish killing. Then they were surrounded, and after that, they were betting back here.

Both Yu Aoqing and Luo Qianqian were squatting on the ground, their delicate bodies trembling. Miao Lin wasn’t much better either.

Glaring at Yang Kai, Yu Aoqing was really afraid that he would add insult to injury and taunt them at this time, but Yang Kai didn’t pay any attention to her at all and still closed his eyes to meditate.

“Sister Qing… Sister Zhang Yu was dragged away by those bugs. Where will they drag her to？” Luo Qianqian asked tremblingly.

“How would I know？” Yu Aoqing replied impatiently.

“Aren’t we going to care about her？”

“How can we care？ We can’t even protect ourselves now. How can we take care of her？” Yu Aoqing clenched her fists. When Zhang Yu separated from them, she wasn’t dead yet, but was only seriously injured. Then she was dragged into another passage by those bugs. What kind of fate awaits her？

Yu Aoqing didn’t know.

Just as the two were talking, a shrill cry suddenly came from the passage. The cry was miserable and seemed to be suffering from great torture.

It was Zhang Yu’s voice！

The faces of Yu Aoqing and Luo Qianqian turned pale, and their bodies trembled even more severely. Miao Lin sat down on the ground with a thud： “What happened to Sister Zhang Yu？ Who is torturing her？”

The shrill cries continued unceasingly, clearly indicating that she was suffering unimaginably.

The two women in the cave quickly covered their ears and didn’t dare to listen anymore.

Yang Kai’s heart was cold. Although these disciples of Yunxia were not good people, and they had quite approved of Yu Aoqing’s practice of using ordinary people as pathfinders along the way, but still, killing is just a matter of a single blow, and it is rather cruel to suffer torture before dying.

Especially this torture was not inflicted by humans.

Zhang Yu’s screams gradually weakened and soon disappeared.

“Hehe, we’re doomed. We definitely can’t get out.” Miao Lin was somewhat scared out of his wits. His strength was the lowest among everyone, only at the Qi Movement Realm. If it wasn’t for the fact that Yunxia Sect wanted to extract the information about the Hidden Island from his mouth this time, how could they have brought him along？

He originally thought it was an opportunity to show off in the sect, but unexpectedly, he encountered successive disasters. Now he was even trapped in a dead end. How could Miao Lin, this dissipated young master who was addicted to wine and women, bear it？

“No, we will be able to get out alive. Senior Sister Qing will take us out, right？” Luo Qianqian shook her head vigorously, her naivety making people feel sad.

“We can’t get out. No one can leave alive.” Miao Lin was in a trance.

“Shut up！” Yu Aoqing snapped coldly.

She turned her head and looked at Yang Kai, who had been calm all along. Comparing him with her junior brother and junior sister, and then comparing herself, she suddenly discovered that this young man’s health quality was stronger than that of anyone present.

From beginning to end, he didn’t show the slightest bit of panic or unease. He just sat there quietly, calm and composed, which was really impressive.

But Yu Aoqing didn’t believe that he was willing to die！

Time passed slowly, and the panic of Miao Lin and Luo Qianqian was spreading. When the fear reached the extreme, both of them became a bit neurotic.

Although Yu Aoqing’s psychological quality was a little stronger, it wasn’t much better. She was squatting and sitting in the corner, with her two hands hugging her knees and shaking non-stop. At this moment, she regretted ten thousand that she shouldn’t’t have followed the big ship to explore the hidden island and regretted that she didn’t go to find her father in the first place when the big ship broke. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. If she was protected by Yu Xiuping, no matter what, it would be better than the current situation.

But at that time, it was so chaotic. Yu Aoqing didn’t know if her father was still alive. After all, under the attack of that huge tentacle, even a TaishangElder like Ding Jiazi had died. It was normal for Yu Xiuping, a True Yuan Realm Layer 9, to die there.

Just, father, if you are alive, where are you？ Daughter is about to die.

Calling the sky and the sky doesn’t answer, calling the earth and the earth doesn’t respond！ The proud Yu Aoqing couldn’t help but shed some tears.

I don’t know how long it passed. Just when Yu Aoqing was almost asleep in a daze, she suddenly heard a somewhat heavy gasping in front of her.

Yu Aoqing was shocked. She opened her eyes and saw Miao Lin approaching her with a hint of madness in his expression, and there was a burning heat and undisguised desire in his eyes.

“Miao Lin, what are you doing？” Yu Aoqing shouted coldly and couldn’t help but shrink back.

“Senior Sister Qing…” Miao Lin licked his dry lips and chuckled： “Junior Brother has deep feelings for you, Senior Sister knows that, right？”

Yu Aoqing’s brows were tightly furrowed. She found that something was wrong with Miao Lin, as if under great pressure, his psychological defense line had been broken.

“Senior Sister is a celestial being, and Junior Brother likes you very much. Every night, I dream of you.” Miao Lin continued to approach Yu Aoqing, and while making a passionate confession, the tone of his words changed immediately： “In the dream, we are naked and unrestrained, turning clouds and rain, and I don’t know how happy we are！”

These words made Yu Aoqing angry and ashamed, and she slapped Miao Lin hard on the shoulder.

How could Miao Lin resist？ He flew out with a sound, but Yu Aoqing was already exhausted, and this palm had no power, so naturally he didn’t hurt Miao Lin.

Standing up again, Miao Lin still approached Yu Aoqing with a lecherous smile and said shamelessly： “Junior Brother knows that Senior Sister has a noble status and has always been a person with high eyes. Precisely because of this, Senior Sister has probably never tasted the joy of men and women, right？”
