Chapter 276 Taking Shelter in the Cave
Huan Yin ran towards the fire. Although he didn't know what was waiting for him there, it was the only variable in the darkness.
What Huan Yin needed now was a variable, because if he continued to run like this, he might not be able to hold on for half a moment, and the puppet doll would catch up with him.
As Huan Yin continued to move forward, the fire in the distance began to grow bigger and brighter in his eyes. But just running and jumping like this, his speed was really unbearable. The distance that could have been jumped in an instant, now he spent a full twenty breaths, and there was still a long distance between him and it.
This distance, Huan Yin probably only needed ten breaths to rush over. However, the gray and black behind him had already come close, and even every time the gray and black moved, Huan Yin was almost caught up, not only making him sweat continuously, but also making Ruan Shushu in his arms very nervous.
"Shushu, hold me tight!" Huan Yin suddenly spoke, and then he slapped his chest with one hand. In the surprised eyes of Ruan Shushu, a mouthful of blood essence was sprayed out by him, and he jumped forward instantly with the power of the blood essence.
Huan Yin's behavior would probably be very funny if seen by the outside world. After all, he is a cultivator with great spiritual wisdom, and the power of blood essence is extremely precious. But now his blood essence is used for jumping, not even flying.
But now, this is Huan Yin's only way. If he hesitates, he may pay the price of his life, and two lives.
This is why Huan Yin has been able to achieve the current realm of cultivation in more than 30 years. Because he is decisive enough and cruel enough to himself. In many cases, ordinary cultivators will have a fluke mentality, but he will directly make a decision that seems to be a great sacrifice, but it is extremely wise.
The effect of the power of blood essence is really extraordinary, so that Huan Yin, who jumped into the air, even found the feeling of flying again at this moment. His speed became extremely fast, and in his eyes, the place where the firelight was reflected began to become clear.
It was a low hill, and the top of the hill was bare, just like the land under their feet, there was nothing strange. But under the hill, there was a very small hole, just enough for one person to pass through, and the firelight that Huan Yin saw came from that hole.
Without hesitation, Huan Yin rushed directly to the hole, and at this moment, the gray and black behind him actually became faster, as if he knew that Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu were going to escape, and rushed towards them frantically.
Huan Yin naturally noticed the changes behind him, and he threw Ruan Shushu forward in the air without saying a word, and Ruan Shushu flew towards the hole where the firelight came from.
"Brother Huan!" The moment Ruan Shushu's body flew up, she looked at Huan Yin with surprise, but she couldn't control herself, and could only watch the distance between herself and Huan Yin getting longer and longer.
Since entering this dark world, it seems that this is the first time that Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu have separated.
No one knows what Ruan Shushu feels in her heart at this moment, but Huan Yin is not thinking about anything now. His face is completely calm and decisive, as if he has thought through what he will do next.
The next moment, when Ruan Shushu's figure has rushed into the cave entrance and is covered by the fire, Huan Yin suddenly turns around and faces the gray and black that is less than three inches away from him.
Raise your hand and press it with one palm!
With the stimulation of spiritual power, a great force comes from Huan Yin's hand and shakes the gray and black in front of him. He naturally cannot shake the puppet doll, but his body has a recoil force at this moment, which increases his speed to the cave entrance!
Huan Yin just played the gravity technique, and the method he used was also the method he was best at when he was a teenager!
Maybe this method is not worth mentioning for his cultivation, but now it has become his life-saving method.
Huan Yin showed a satisfied smile on his face. Although Hui Hei was still faster than him, his body was completely surrounded by the flames when he was less than half an inch away from Hui Hei, and he successfully flew into the cave!
The next moment, a strong roar poured into the cave where Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu were, shaking their heads and even losing the ability to think for a moment.
However, after Hui Hei completely blocked the entrance to the cave, he could not get in.
In the next half a minute, the strong roar in the cave was endless, and even the whole cave continued to vibrate violently. I don’t know if it was caused by the body of the puppet doll when it passed here or it stayed here for a while, trying to find Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu.
However, this cave was surprisingly solid. No matter how loud it was, no matter how it shook, it had always been firmly without showing any signs of being unable to support it. Not even much dust fell from it, completely blocking the puppet doll outside.
After a short while, when the roar finally stopped and the shaking of the cave finally ended, the gray and black that had been blocking the entrance of the cave finally moved away.
Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu, who had been in a state of high tension, finally breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts were relieved, and they regained their ability to think and observe.
However, after the crisis was eliminated, the first reaction of the two was not to look around and observe the strange cave they were in, but to look at each other.
When their eyes met, both of them were stunned for a moment, but they could also see from each other's eyes the joy of surviving the disaster and the faint tacit understanding between them.
Then, both of them immediately found something wrong, their eyes wandered, and they began to observe the surroundings as if nothing had happened.
This was a small cave, with only the one they were staying in, and there was no road leading to the deeper part. The fire they saw outside the cave before was emitted by more than ten oil lamps fixed on the cave wall.
These oil lamps were the kind of ever-burning lamps that had been burning for who knows how many years. Not only was there a thick layer of dust floating on the lamp oil, but the lampstands also looked extremely old due to years of burning.
Under the illumination of the fire, the scenes and things in the entire cave appeared clearly in the eyes of Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu. On the surrounding mountain walls, there were many large and small shelves fixed, and the shelves were filled with countless bottles and jars.
Such a scene reminded Huan Yin vaguely of the feeling when he first opened his eyes and saw Hu Zi's hut in Tianqi City, Jizhou. Because Hu Zi's hut was also like this, with messy bottles and jars hanging around.
Huan Yin knew that those on the wall were all pill bottles, so this cave should be the residence of an alchemist. But it was obvious that the alchemist had left a long time ago, so this place is now completely deserted.
"The senior who once lived here must have been an extremely powerful person." Ruan Shushu's voice came from Huan Yin's side. When Huan Yin turned his head to look at her, he found that she was constantly looking around and observing carefully.
Huan Yin was very clear about the meaning of Ruan Shushu's words, and he also saw that the person who lived here before should be a peerless strong man. Because in this dark world where monsters are rampant, this cave has been abandoned for an unknown period of time, but it can still be completely preserved, and even none of the pill bottles inside have fallen off the shelf.
Not only that, the puppet doll that was so big that it was unimaginable just now could not shake the cave that was extremely small to it, which was enough to prove the strength of this cave. From this, we can also imagine how strong the predecessors who once lived here were.
Huan Yin walked to a shelf on the wall and took down a pill bottle, and gently opened the bottle cap.
There was nothing, this pill bottle was empty. However, when Huan Yin opened the pill bottle, a very faint pill fragrance came out from the bottle, which meant that the bottle had indeed been filled with pills before.
Next, Huan Yin opened several more pill bottles, but these pill bottles were all empty without exception, with nothing inside.
"Brother Huan, come and see what this is." Ruan Shushu's voice came from behind Huan Yin. He turned his head and saw Ruan Shushu standing next to a stone table inside the cave, and on the stone table, there were several things like brocade boxes.
When Huan Yin walked to Ruan Shushu and stood next to the stone table, he saw the things on the table clearly.
There were five dark blue brocade boxes, not only of the same size, but also of the same shape and even the details of the workmanship, with no difference at all.
"What is this?" Huan Yin had never seen such a thing, so he asked.
"This is called a pill seal." Ruan Shushu answered, it seems that she knows the things on the table.
"Pill seal?"
"Well, if a very small number of peerless pills are not taken as soon as possible after they are successfully refined, the efficacy will be lost quickly and wasted in the end. In order to preserve such pills, a skilled alchemist will use a pill seal like the one on the table to seal the pills to preserve the efficacy."
"Different pills have different methods of refining and opening the pill seal. If the pill seal is not refined properly, it still cannot maintain the efficacy of the immortal pill, and the immortal pill will be wasted. If the method of opening the pill seal is not appropriate, the seal will be destroyed, and the efficacy of the immortal pill will also be lost." Ruan Shushu answered.
Huan Yin looked at Ruan Shushu in surprise, and he suddenly found that Ruan Shushu seemed to know a lot about alchemy.
Ruan Shushu noticed Huan Yin's look and smiled knowingly, "Shushu has some superficial understanding of the Dao of Alchemy, but Shushu knows nothing about the advanced Dao of Alchemy, such as refining or opening the seal of the elixir."
