Bai Yuquan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "I have to kill you! Even if I fight for my life, I will kill you sooner or later!"
The princess also yelled: "You insidious and cunning beast! Even if you leave here, you will die if you go out!"
At this time, the wooden ladle in Long Yue's hand was burned, and with a crash, water spilled all over the ground.
Seeing this, Bai Yuquan gritted his teeth: "Now that there is no wooden ladle, you can't even think of getting out alive!"
Long Yue smiled crookedly: "You have to take care of it."
The Green Wood Seal flew up, came to the jar, and put out a green light. In the blue light, a tree trunk grew out, and a pit was burned in it. A lot of water was put in it, and all of it was poured into the jar.
Only then did Bai Yuquan and Princess Xiyun understand that Long Yue was holding the wooden ladle to hide the truth from others. Since he knew that the pond water was poisonous, he had an idea and just pushed Lin Xiaodong down. Why did he need to fight him?
"You insidious villain! You will be punished!"
Princess Xiyun cursed viciously.
Long Yue was not angry at all and said with a smile: "Goodbye!"
With a rumble and a bang, the mechanism was activated, the square stones from the height slowly fell, and the mechanism on the stone slab under the feet was finally closed.
Princess Xiyun and Bai Yuquan were able to move, and without saying a word, they attacked Long Yue.
Long Yue smiled, and the green wood seal covered his whole body. His feet were three inches off the ground, and he floated to Fang Shi. He turned around and waved his hand.
There was a roar, and dense bushes suddenly sprouted from the stone ground, blocking Bai Yuquan and Princess Xiyun.
"Goodbye, Your Highness Princess."
Long Yue smiled contemptuously, and led a few people up the square stone to the opposite side and entered the secret passage.
Under the square stone, the clay pot finally couldn't withstand the erosion of the deep pool water and broke into pieces with a crash.
The mechanism was broken, the iron lock on the square stone suddenly broke, and the square stone fell into the deep pool with a bang.
Oops! The deep blue water splashed onto the platform. Fortunately, there were trees blocking it, otherwise both Bai Yuquan and Princess Xiyun might be injured.
"Lin Xiaodong!"
Princess Xiyun shed tears. The water in the deep pool was already extremely corrosive, and when it was hit by this square stone, how could Lin Xiaodong still survive?
Bai Yuquan sighed: "Go down and have a look!"
The two were about to go down the steps when suddenly a burst of fire flew out from the break in the platform, crossed the trees, and landed on the ground.
"Lin Xiaodong!"
Princess Xiyun and Bai Yuquan were overjoyed and rushed over. The fireball fell to the ground and was extinguished. Sure enough, it was Lin Xiaodong, lying on the ground in tattered clothes.
"Great you're okay!"
Princess Xiyun patted her chest and sat on the ground.
Bai Yuquan also nodded heavily: "You scared me to death!"
Lin Xiaodong was also in shock: "I made a miscalculation. Long Yue's wood cultivation level is better than mine and controlled my vines. I planned to drag him down with me, but the vines didn't catch him and I fell down myself."
Already."
"Thanks to Cai Cai for bringing me up!"
Lin Xiaodong pointed to Cai Cai who was lying on the ground next to him.
Princess Xiyun and Bai Yuquan looked at Cai Cai, only to find that Cai Cai was motionless and extremely weak.
"Cai Cai?"
Princess Xiyun called it.
Cai Cai opened her eyes with difficulty, and said in a weak voice: "The water in the pool is extremely cloudy and cold, and the sky is beating me. The cold has entered my heart, and there is no way I can save it..." "Cai Cai, Cai Cai!"
After hearing this, Lin Xiaodong sat up smartly and held Caicai in his hands.
Cai Cai was out of breath: "Go see the king, he, he will tell you everything..." Before she could finish her words, Cai Cai closed her eyes.
"Caicai!——" Lin Xiaodong looked up to the sky and roared.
Princess Xiyun's tears fell. Bai Yuquan lowered his head and kept breathing heavily: "First it's Lan Ruo, and now it's Cai Cai. Sooner or later, this debt will have to be settled with Long Yue!"
Lin Xiaodong held Cai Cai in his hands, his eyes full of sadness: "I fell into the water and my clothes were all burned. At the critical moment, Cai Cai flew into the water and released a fireball to wrap me up and bring me out."
Lin Xiaodong couldn't say any more: "It risked its life to save me, but it..." "Long Yue!" Angry voices echoed underground.
The three of them observed a moment of silence. Lin Xiaodong took out the Zhou Tianding, put Cai Cai's body in it, and kept it.
"Let's go out first."
Lin Xiaodong stood up and looked around, with a calm expression and sharp eyes, full of murderous intent.
Princess Xiyun pointed to the fracture and said: "The square stone has fallen and the road is blocked."
Lin Xiaodong took out the treasure map and placed it on the ground. The three of them sat down and looked at it together.
Princess Xiyun looked at it for a while, pointed to a mountain next to the palace, and said: "If we go back the same way, along the river, we have to make several turns.
But if you go over this mountain, you will directly reach the territory of the sharks, which is a shortcut."
Lin Xiaodong took a look and found that walking along the river was not only a long detour, but also there were no roads at all in many places. It would indeed take a lot less distance to go through the Sharman tribe's territory.
"Then let's go this way?"
Lin Xiaodong asked Bai Yuquan.
Bai Yuquan frowned: "The Shark tribe is not friendly to the human race. It might not be easy for the three of us to pass through their territory. What's more, there is a human race princess. If they find out, I don't know how much trouble they will cause."
Princess Xiyun shook her head: "It doesn't matter to me.
If we want to catch up with Long Yue, this is the only way we can go."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Then let's take a shortcut. If Long Yue, a beast, lives for one more day, he will earn it!"
The three of them made up their minds, left the secret passage, climbed over the wall and left the palace.
Standing outside the palace wall, Lin Xiaodong glanced around, seeing rolling green mountains everywhere, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no time. Otherwise, Cai Cai and Lan Ruo should be buried together, so that they can have company."
Bai Yuquan lowered his head: "How about cremating him first, taking the ashes with him, and then burying him next to Lan Ruo when he comes back from killing Long Yue."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "This is the only way."
He took out the Zhou Tianding and placed it on the ground. Cai Cai's thin body lay inside, motionless.
Lin Xiaodong sighed and turned away: "Farewell, brother."
With a flick of his hand, there was a roar, and flames ignited in the Zhoutian Cauldron. In an instant, the vegetables were burned to ashes.
Princess Xiyun rubbed her eyes, while Bai Yuquan lowered his head and said nothing.
After the fire was out and the ashes were cold, Lin Xiaodong picked up the Zhou Tianding and found that in addition to the ashes, there was also a fiery red bead the size of a fingernail.
"This is?"
Lin Xiaodong pointed it out to Bai Yuquan and Princess Xiyun.
Bai Yuquan recognized it, sighed, and said: "This is its natal Yuan Chen, and it has been cultivated here all its life."
Lin Xiaodong looked solemn as he picked up the bead and held it tightly in his hand.
The three of them continued to climb the mountain. Lin Xiaodong took the lead without saying a word. Princess Xiyun followed behind and kept blinking at Lin Xiaodong's back. After a long time, she finally couldn't help it. She walked two steps quickly and walked to Lin Xiaodong and said with concern:
"Are you okay?"
Lin Xiaodong was startled, stopped, looked up at Princess Xiyun, and then nodded: "I'm fine."
But I was thinking to myself: Does the princess know how to care about others?
