Chapter 206 A True Shelter
Chu Lingfeng had been secretly watching Murong Ling'er's every move. When he saw her take any action, he immediately winked at the secret guard.
Chu San understood what he meant and followed quietly.
Murong Ling'er noticed the movement behind her and saw that it was Chu San following her. She frowned slightly but did not refuse.
Murong Ling'er approached the climbing vines, and the buzzing sound became clearer and clearer, as if thousands of troops were galloping in her ears. She held her breath and carefully pushed aside the climbing vines. A stale and decayed smell hit her in the face, and she flashed and disappeared into the cave.
Chu San followed closely behind, looking around vigilantly.
The cave was dark and damp, with water droplets hanging on the walls, dripping down and echoing in the silent cave, as if it was a countdown of time.
Murong Ling'er walked slowly along the wall of the cave. The road under her feet was bumpy and uneven, and occasionally she would step on some gravel, making a slight noise.
Suddenly, there was a loud buzzing sound from the front, and the group of big bumblebees rushed over like disturbed guards.
Murong Ling'er raised her eyebrows and quickly pulled out a whip from her waist. She poured her internal strength into it, and the whip instantly became as straight as a sword. She shook her wrist lightly, and the whip drew sharp arcs in the air. Wherever it went, the big buffaloes were knocked to the ground.
But there were too many big bumblebees and they kept coming one after another.
Seeing this, Chu San took out a bag of medicine powder from his arms and sprinkled it towards the bee swarm.
The powder dispersed in the wind, forming a cloud of smoke. When the bumblebees came into contact with the powder, their movements became sluggish.
Murong Ling'er took the opportunity to speed up her attack. She spun her body and her whip shuttled through the swarm of bees like a black lightning.
However, a few large buffaloes still broke through the defense line and rushed towards Murong Ling'er's exposed skin.
She snorted coldly, and the internal force in her body surged, forming a thin shield. The big bumblebee hit the shield and was bounced away.
After a hard fight, they finally repelled this wave of giant bumblebees, and the ground was littered with their corpses.
Murong Ling'er took a slight breath and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a burst of chirping sounds came from the front. The sound was sharp and piercing, and it was running around in the cave.
Murong Ling'er's heart trembled, knowing that the spirit monkey had appeared. She stopped and looked ahead vigilantly.
I saw a group of clever monkeys jumping and playing on a stone platform not far away, their eyes flashing with strange light in the darkness.
A larger monkey seemed to have sensed something was wrong, baring its teeth and roaring in the direction of Murong Ling'er.
Murong Ling'er sneered. How could she be scared by these monkeys? She raised her hand lightly, and a force of internal energy gathered in her palm. If these monkeys dared to act rashly, she wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.
The monkeys seemed to feel the deterrent power emanating from Murong Ling'er, and hesitated for a moment, but the big monkey refused to give up. It stomped its feet suddenly, let out a sharp whistle, and pounced towards Murong Ling'er first.
Murong Ling'er's eyes turned cold, and she waved her jade hand. The internal force in her palm was like an invisible sharp blade, rushing towards the big monkey.
The big monkey twisted its body in the air and narrowly avoided the attack, but crashed heavily into the wall of the cave, splashing a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, the other monkeys roared angrily. For a moment, the whole cave was filled with the monkeys' shouting and their jumping and running figures.
Murong Ling'er was light and graceful, like a flower blooming in the wind under the siege of the monkeys. Although she looked weak, she was actually tenacious. She dodged or avoided, and occasionally fought back. Every move was just right, neither letting the monkeys get close to her nor causing them fatal harm.
After all, although these monkeys are intelligent, they are only following their instincts to protect this territory, and she has no intention of killing them.
Chu San was guarding silently on the side, the long sword in his hand had already been unsheathed, flashing with cold light. He was watching the battlefield closely. Once a monkey broke through Murong Ling'er's defense line, he would help without hesitation.
However, Murong Ling'er's strength was far beyond his imagination. She became more and more courageous among the monkeys, as if she was performing an elegant dance.
As time went on, the monkeys gradually realized that the person in front of them was not easy to defeat, and their attacks began to become sparse.
Murong Ling'er seized the opportunity and suddenly released a powerful internal force, which pushed the surrounding monkeys back several steps.
She shouted, "Everyone, please leave! We have no intention of offending you. We are just passing through."
The monkeys seemed to understand her words. Led by the big monkey, they slowly retreated back to the stone platform, but still stared at them vigilantly.
Murong Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking deeper into the cave. The road became narrower and the air became more stuffy.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of gurgling water in front of her. She was delighted and quickened her pace.
After turning a corner, an underground river appeared before our eyes. The water was so clear that we could see the bottom, and it sparkled in the faint light.
Murong Ling'er squatted down and reached out to touch the river water. The icy feeling instantly spread throughout her body, which refreshed her spirits.
At this moment, Chu San discovered that there seemed to be a faint passage on the opposite side. He pointed to the opposite side and whispered, "Miss Murong, that might be the way out."
Murong Ling'er looked in the direction he pointed and nodded slightly.
Murong Ling'er pondered for a moment and decided to go in and try.
Murong Ling'er and Chu San groped their way forward cautiously in the cave. The road was sometimes so narrow that only one person could pass sideways, and sometimes it branched into several roads, like a maze.
Relying on their keen intuition and ability to detect subtle clues, the two men overcame all obstacles along the way. After a series of twists and turns, they could hear the faint sound of flowing water. The sound seemed to have magic, pulling them to quicken their pace.
After turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up. Chu San suddenly stopped, his eyes wide open, filled with shock, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "This is actually a real retreat."
Murong Ling'er also showed surprise and nodded in agreement.
What appeared before their eyes was a picturesque wonderland. The vast expanse of green grass was like a soft green carpet, stretching to the horizon.
On both sides of the meadow, there are lush green woods with branches and leaves intertwined together, like a green dome. The trees are full of fruits and vegetables with bright colors and exuding an attractive fruity fragrance.
Not far away, a waterfall falls from the sky like the Milky Way, with splashing water. Under the refraction of sunlight, it forms a series of gorgeous rainbows.
Birds are singing on the branches, butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and the breeze is blowing, bringing bursts of floral fragrance and fresh air, making people intoxicated and forgetting the way home.
Chu San recovered from his shock and could hardly hide his joy as he said, "This is much larger than the Tang family's territory. It's truly a paradise, a rare retreat in this world."
Upon hearing this, Murong Ling'er narrowed her eyes slightly and thought to herself: I was originally thinking about how to compensate the Tang family with a natural barrier, but now it seems that this place is perfect and worthy of being a replacement.
"Miss Murong, let's go ahead and find out what's going on."
