Chapter 171 Hard to Find Out Why

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Zhang Yunyan was very sad that she was about to die, and she was very desperate for not being able to accomplish the mission entrusted by the relatives of the Zhang Family and the Lin Family. She was also deeply saddened by the death of her animal friend Black Tiger, and the Turtle Elf and Shikong who had saved her life…

Suddenly, there was a noise in the darkness. Although it was very slight, it was noticeable in the silence.

Yunyan could tell that the sound came from the circular cave. She immediately became alert, and it seemed that the devils had found her entering the hole and come to catch her.

Just then, a black shadow came from the circular hole and charged at her.

Yunyan’s heart sank, the devil!

She drew back in fear and pulled out the Magical Dragon Sword to fight. On the verge of death, she had to put up a desperate fight. She shouldn’t wait to be captured. She had to fight, entrusting her young life to the fate even though she never believed it.

The shadow came to her and hummed.

Zhang Yunyan sighed. She sat on the ground again, all her strength was gone. She hugged the shadow that touched her.

She was very surprised and excited. She talked to herself while caressing the shadow, “So it’s you, you are still alive, great. We are all alive…”

When she spoke, Yunyan couldn’t help crying. A bittersweet smile appeared on her pretty face.

This shadow who came suddenly was Black Tiger. Unexpectedly, it came back from the cave.

Where did Black Tiger go? How far did it go in the cave? What did it see? Had it found the devil? No one could know the answer to these questions.

Maybe it returned because it sensed that its human friend had also entered the cave and came to meet with Zhang Yunyan.

Black Tiger was indeed not an ordinary animal. No one of its species could match it. With keen perception and quick reaction, it deserved to be its master’s capable hand.

The two close friends reunited unexpectedly in the Devil’s Cave, and they were very excited but also sad.

Soon, Zhang Yunyan calmed down, stroking Black Tiger’s body in the darkness. Its limbs were in good condition and it was free to move without any injury. Yunyan was really shocked and amazed.

Black Tiger fell into such a deep cave but was not hurt at all. This was also an impossible miracle.

The miracle that happened to her was unimaginable, and the miracle happened to Black Tiger was also incredible. All of these were puzzles.

In the terrible cave, Zhang Yunyan had no time to think about these insignificant puzzles. She was looking around and thinking eagerly.

In the darkness, the “full moon” hanging high up was hazy. It didn’t bring much light to the cave, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Zhang Yunyan did not give up. She couldn’t wait here to die. So, she walked along the wall of the cave and watched, hoping to find a way easy to climb up and escape from the Devil’s Cave as soon as possible.

She knew there was little hope but she still didn’t give up. Even if she couldn’t climb out, it would be good if Black Tiger could.

Black Tiger followed her quietly, watching and sniffing, without any abnormal behavior.

Zhang Yunyan walked around with no result. The hole wall was uneven, but very smooth. There was no way to climb up. It was almost impossible to climb out of the deep hole to escape.

She didn’t have the ability to climb, and Black Tiger was also unable to escape. Hope was lost, which was inevitable. She never had the chance and she knew that this would be the result. It was just her fantasy.

The high “swan” was very attractive, but unattainable. Yunyan was very discouraged and sat down on the ground with a sigh, deeply depressed. She was helpless, sad, and despaired…

Black Tiger did not know why. It didn’t seem to know what was being nervous and what was fear, and it didn’t know that it was going to die here. It sometimes moved around and sometimes stayed with Yunyan.

In this horrible and desperate situation, Yunyan felt less lonely with her animal friend beside her.

Zhang Yunyan looked at the dark cave, and felt even more terrible. Trapped in a desperate situation with nowhere to escape, she would be killed sooner or later.

She remembered Turtle Elf and Shikong. These two were so capable, but they were no match for Jiuyou Sage, let alone herself. Once she encountered those devils, the consequence was unimaginable. Not only would she die, but she would die a horrible death.

Yunyan was very scared and nervous. She was startled at the thought of the terrible consequences, and sighed for the imminent death of both of them.

Here was the “hell” full of devils. She couldn’t escape, and there was nowhere to hide. The situation was out of her control, and she could only leave life and death to the fate she didn’t believe.

In her lifetime, Zhang Yunyan went through the ups and downs. Now she had come into the trap and would not have a good result. With no hope of survival, she could only wait to die here, or wait for the devils to take her life.

This was an inevitable tragedy in the Devil’s Cave. It was the cruel arrangement of bitter fate. It was the end that could not be avoided. She was powerless to reverse the situation and unable to fight back.

Zhang Yunyan was very regretful, and she was also blaming herself. She knew that this was the place of devils which was a horrible “hell”, a road with no return. Why did she come here and court death?

She was very puzzled and depressed. She didn’t want to come in at that moment, but somehow, she fell involuntarily. This was not a mistake made by herself, nor what she was willing to do. It was an accident, a machination.

In a trance, Zhang Yunyan felt that she was pushed by someone, and her body lost balance and fell off, which led to such a sad situation.

She couldn’t solve this terrible mystery. She had been guessing why but it was difficult to figure out.

In the dark night, Yunyan did not hear any sound, and did not feel anyone around her. How could she feel like she was blindsided? Who blindsided her? How did the man do that?

She did not notice it, but only felt it. She had no idea and was unable to confirm. She was at a loss.

The reality was just so cruel, and the end was so pathetic. Zhang Yunyan could only accept it. What if she didn’t accept it? She still had no way to escape but waited for death. Regardless of the consequence, she must bear it. Even if she was extremely reluctant, she couldn’t change the cruel reality.

Yunyan was a ballsy heroine. In the face of evils, she dared to do justice. However, at this moment, facing the ferocious devils, she had lost the courage and had no confidence of unremitting struggle.

At the entrance of the cave, Yunyan thought about saving her close partner Black Tiger, and going into the cave to have a try. However, it was a flash of thought that had no effect on her final decision.

She knew that she would die. For one, she had no ability to fight against the devils, for another, she was even afraid to enter such a deep cave. She was very nervous and afraid at that time. This kind of emotion could not be eliminated. She could only stay there and would not jump off.

Although she hesitated about whether to enter the cave, this hesitation was only a thought, which was out of the anxiety about the survival and death of Black Tiger. She didn’t have the decision and intention to get into the Devil’s Cave. She never wanted to die.

She didn’t know she was in no position to decide whether to enter the cave or not. The unexpected thing took place finally. While observing and listening, she did not expect to fall involuntarily.

Recalling the situation at that time, Zhang Yunyan found the emotions and thoughts which had been very clear became so blurred that she couldn’t remember the situation and her mentality at that time.

In her memory, she felt like she had fallen unconsciously, or entered the cave on impulse, or maybe someone pushed her secretly. She couldn’t tell why.

Zhang Yunyan couldn’t tell when she had lost her consciousness. She didn’t notice it because she was already losing herself. Her memory was so vague that there was no way to figure it out.

She remembered that at that time, she was very anxious and scared. She wanted to save Black Tiger, wanted to flinch, had an adventurous idea, and wanted to avoid it… In short, her thoughts were in a mess and she couldn’t understand.

Yunyan’s memory was getting more blurred. She didn’t know why she fell into the Devil’s Cave. Maybe there were all kinds of factors.

Now, since she was already in the Devil’s Cave, the reason was no longer important, and it was urgent to figure out how to escape.

However, there was nothing she could do about this urgent matter, she could only worry. Yunyan clearly remembered that last time Turtle Elf had clearly told her that there was no escape and no hiding place in the cave. She could only die sooner or later.

Zhang Yunyan was very painful, depressed and desperate.

She thought of the old woman who was half-immortal, and she started to suspect her again. The old woman claimed that someone asked her to come, which was puzzling.

Who asked the old woman to come? What was she entrusted with? Did the old woman just want to send her into the cave where the devils lived?

The old woman was very mysterious. Her behavior was very strange. She didn’t tell clearly what she had been entrusted with nor did she reveal her true identity. There must be an ulterior conspiracy.

However, one thing was for sure, she came for Zhang Yunyan, which was revealed from her words.

Now it seemed that the old woman who claimed to be half an immortal was probably a monster. She was told by Jiuyou Sage to secretly push Zhang Yunyan into the cave.

Although this was just a theory and conjecture, it was very likely. Yunyan couldn’t help but associate with it after encountering these mysterious and strange things.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yunyan was more convinced that the old woman was a monster. She lied about her identity as an immortal and secretly blindsided her, putting her into a desperate situation and giving her to the cannibal devils.

The old woman didn’t say what she was going to do, nor did she directly take a move. She hoaxed her by fabricating a lie that they were friends of life and death thousands of years ago, and then blindsided her secretly, leaving her in the dark of why she was killed.

Zhang Yunyan didn’t know the identity of the female monster who claimed to be half-immortal, and she was probably the one who had pushed her.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She was deeply saddened that however vigilant, she was still unable to prevent getting hurt. In the end, she was blindsided by demons and monsters and would be eaten by the devils.

Sad, too sad! With her wish not being fulfilled, her young life would be ruined in the Devil’s Cave.

She was very depressed and desperate. Why was she so unlucky? Why did she encounter these demons and monsters one after another?

She hadn’t avenged herself, and could only let it be. She was separated from her brother and her wish was unfulfilled. Everything even her life would come to a sad end here.

What’s done cannot be undone. Zhang Yunyan had to admit that the harsh reality could not be changed. In the face of those devils, she had no ability to fight, and there was nowhere to escape. Her only choice was to die.
