Cao Jun was in a dilemma, her face deathly pale.
A burst of shout echoed, the young man who had just brushed past her had already dived six or seven zhang deep into the cave, shouting at her, seemingly conjuring a shield out of thin air. The shield was as tall as two people, as wide as one person, and he slammed it horizontally onto the ground.
A heavy crash resounded. Before Cao Jun could react, she felt an overwhelming force assault her, utterly irresistible, and she was pressed to the ground instantly—
Blood spurted from her mouth, seeped from her seven orifices, blood everywhere!
Tragic, tragic, tragic!
Cao Jun was truly tragic!
She struggled to get up, but for a while, she couldn’t muster any strength. She couldn’t stand at all, as despair welled up from the depths of her heart—
Being trapped in Shuilian Cave by the Iron-Armed Monkeys was already a dead end!
Now unexpectedly suppressed, she could only await slaughter.
Dead without a doubt!
Cao Jun’s body was still struggling, but her heart had already given up, just waiting for the Iron-Armed Monkeys to come and tear her into pieces.
Only hearing the ’eek, eek’ roars and ’scritch, scratch’ scratches.
Cao Jun turned her head towards the cave entrance and was immediately shocked, seeing more than a dozen Iron-Armed Monkeys lying on the ground in various poses, blood-stained, just like her.
Cao Jun was stunned, then sheer joy overwhelmed her, an indescribable sweetness of narrowly escaping death.
But her crisis was not truly resolved yet.
Cao Jun tried to gather her energy, muster all her strength to stand, but couldn’t, only able to crawl. However, crawling was too slow, and going outside, she feared she would be caught by more than a dozen of Iron-Armed Monkeys crawling on the ground just like her.
This is still within the cave, at the entrance.
Even if she bypassed these Iron-Armed Monkeys and crawled out, with her current state, her initial speed exiting the cave wouldn’t ensure her escape.
But still a deadlock!
And the key to breaking this trap—
Cao Jun, caught in the sudden change, was temporarily safe from life-threatening danger. She finally responded and turned to look inside the cave, seeing a massive, heavy shield blocking her view, but by listening, she could hear that on the other side of the shield, in the cave, the young man who had barged in and ruined her best escape chance was crawling too, he was also crawling.
But he had already crawled quite far.
As Cao Jun was at a loss, a voice came from behind the shield: "Going outside is a dead end, crawl inward!"
Cao Jun turned and looked again at the Iron-Armed Monkeys approaching her, clenched her teeth, and without hesitation: "Fight!"
Immediately turned around.
Using both hands and feet, crawled inward.
Under the suppressive gravity, Cao Jun could barely move.
But fortunately, the gravity was impartial, and she crawled slowly, laboriously. Behind her, more than a dozen Iron-Armed Monkeys were also the same, finding it hard to catch up with her.
"I crawl, crawl, crawl!"
Cao Jun panted heavily, crawling through blood and sweating profusely from her head. She looked pitiable and terrifying, but it was just a labor-intensive task with no major injuries, no serious harm.
Just crawling like that.
After much hardship, she finally crawled five or six zhang and reached the thick, mountain-like shield.
Cao Jun looked closely with an extra eye, speculating that this Gravity Domain was triggered by the shield, centered around it, covering the area. In such an environment, trying to lift this shield would be as difficult as moving mountains.
Cao Jun touched it, felt its weight, and completely dismissed the idea.
She painstakingly circled around the shield and finally saw—
Ten zhang away, the young man was sitting leisurely on a stone bench, sipping Monkey Wine with relish.
Seeing her, the young man smiled and waved, very gently.
Cao Jun grated her teeth in hatred.
If it weren’t for this young man, she would have already run out of Shuilian Cave, perhaps already enjoying Monkey Wine leisurely, rather than crawling here like a wild dog with its legs broken!
Cao Jun bit her silver teeth with hatred.
But after hesitating for a moment, she could only continue crawling toward him.
To survive, there was no other way!
"A little mistake happened."
"But it doesn’t matter."
Yan Chuan drank Monkey Wine in large gulps to replenish his strength, feeling endless joy.
When he saw someone using a diversion tactic to lure the Iron-Armed Monkeys away from Shuilian Cave, combining it with his own conditions, a strategy suddenly sprouted in his heart—
Shuilian Cave’s entrance, approximately four to five zhang wide.
Actually quite large.
But the ’Star Stone’s’ ’Gravity Domain’ could cover a full ten zhang in radius.
Yan Chuan triggered the ’Gravity Domain’ six or seven zhang from the cave entrance, not only blocking the entrance but also sealing even three to four zhang outside the entrance.
Under such powerful gravity—
The Iron-Armed Monkeys couldn’t leap in, nor could they crawl up.
A single stone held the pass, and ten thousand couldn’t advance!
With the ’Gravity Domain’ sealing Shuilian Cave’s entrance, Yan Chuan could peacefully enjoy Monkey Wine inside.
Drink to the full, drink to the finish!
Yan Chuan drank in big gulps, simultaneously encouraging the woman who had shown some compassion towards him earlier to keep crawling inward.
From her most instinctive reaction just now, this woman seemed quite kind-hearted.
Now that both were trapped inside Shuilian Cave, mutually dependent for survival, Yan Chuan felt full trust in such a person.
