Ding Fan felt He Qianyao's actions and was montarily stunned. But he quickly figured it out, perhaps she was just overly frightened. He comforted her slightly by saying:
"No need to worry too much, we'll be relatively safer here. However, you doing this will make it difficult for to act later."
Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, He Qianyao realized she was indeed a bit out of sorts. Perhaps it was because she was just too scared at the mont.
Imdiately, He Qianyao let go of him and mobilized her True Qi. Although she knew her cultivation was indeed low and faced with those fierce Yuan Beasts, she had no chance to resist.
But even so, she understood she needed to offer so help to him and couldn't just sit idly by.
"By the way, you saved again, what's your na?"
He Qianyao looked at his blurred silhouette and asked sweetly.
"Ding Fan"
Ding Fan replied directly. He could tell she wasn't a bad woman, or he wouldn't have saved her repeatedly.
Yet, he was puzzled about the Mountain Range as sothing big seed to be happening, making it very dangerous. Why was she, a woman, here alone?
Then Ding Fan directly asked:
"Why are you here?"
"I ca to find treasure, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous here."
He Qianyao said regretfully.
Upon hearing her response, Ding Fan was speechless for a mont. It turned out she was here for the sa reason as him, except he was prepared while she was a bit reckless. From this, Ding Fan could infer she probably ca from a wealthy family and wasn't savvy about the world, especially the dangers in the Cultivation World.
As for her background, Ding Fan wasn't interested. The girl seed kind-hearted and they were sohow intertwined by fate as he had saved her twice, which was rely a trivial gesture.
"Why are you here?"
He Qianyao was also curious, wondering why he ca here.
"It's similar to yours, a new disciple mission."
Ding Fan spoke directly.
Hearing Ding Fan's words, He Qianyao was a bit taken aback, then asked directly:
"Are you a disciple of the Dayang Sect?"
Ding Fan nodded without saying much. This wasn't sothing to hide.
At that mont, He Qianyao was montarily stunned upon hearing he was a disciple of the Dayang Sect. She was secretly pleased because this made her not too distant from Ding Fan since she was also from the Dayang Sect. Moreover, her father was the sect leader, making it easy to see him again later.
However, after so joy, she felt sothing was off. After pondering for a while, she realized, why had Dayang Sect's new disciple mission beco so difficult?
It was known that recently, many disciples had died in Beihou Mountain. Her father had ntioned this to her, so he must have talked about it within the sect. How could he send a new disciple to such a dangerous place?
She herself had co recklessly after overhearing her father ntion that a treasure might appear in Beihou Mountain.
Thinking back now, she couldn't help but feel regret.
At this mont, Ding Fan noticed that when she heard he was from Dayang Sect, she paused. From this, Ding Fan could confirm she must be from Dayang Sect too, otherwise rarely would an outsider cultivator co to Dayang Sect's Beihou Mountain.
Yet, Ding Fan didn't press further. If she didn't want to talk, there was no need to force her. After all, most cultivators have secrets of their own.
"Be careful, they're coming!"
Suddenly, Ding Fan noticed nurous Yuan Beasts had reached the cave entrance and promptly warned.
He Qianyao grew tense upon hearing Ding Fan's words, raised her True Qi, and watched the entrance cautiously.
What followed took Ding Fan by surprise.
Ding Fan had expected the Yuan Beasts to rush into the cave upon discovering them, but when he extended his Divine Sense, he found those Yuan Beasts had reached the cave edge, maintaining about a ter's distance from the entrance. Different Yuan Beasts gathered around, their deanor devoid of initial rage but instead appearing solemn and dignified, even showing an almost submissive intent.
Witnessing this, Ding Fan was stunned.
He didn't expect such a scene. The Yuan Beasts near the cave were of various types and seed to number in the hundreds or thousands now. What's astonishing is that in the distance behind, even more Yuan Beasts appeared to be converging here.
This was sowhat unbelievable.
A mont ago, the violent Beast Tide now seed like subjects paying respect to a king by the cave's edge, humbly refraining from any insolence. Ding Fan's Divine Sense perceived their inner reverence.
Ding Fan was caught off guard and, after inspecting for a while, realized the mountain cave where they were must contain sothing that these Yuan Beasts feared greatly, preventing them from entering, not even allowing them to step within a ter of the cave entrance.
At this point, Ding Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, with thousands upon thousands of Yuan Beasts gathered outside, had they charged into the cave to attack him, he wouldn't have been able to deal with it.
"What's happening outside?"
He Qianyao, behind Ding Fan, noticed he seed to relax and was puzzled, so she asked with a face full of questions.
"The Yuan Beasts seem afraid to enter this cave, all clustered outside."
Ding Fan answered directly.
Upon hearing the other's words, He Qianyao couldn't help but feel a bit panicked and imdiately continued to ask:
"Since the Yuan Beasts don't dare to enter this cave, is there any danger here?"
Ding Fan shook his head and said sowhat helplessly:
"We have no other choice. If we hadn't co to this cave, we would probably already be victims of the Beast Tide."
Upon hearing the other's words, He Qianyao couldn't help but beco sowhat anxious. The situation was indeed as described. Although her Divine Sense seed useless here, she could hear the roars of nurous Yuan Beasts outside from ti to ti, which could easily indicate that there were at least tens of thousands of Yuan Beasts outside.
Even the most powerful Cultivator faced with such a Beast Tide would probably be dood!
"What should we do now?"
For a mont, He Qianyao seed extrely anxious. Clearly, being trapped here wasn't a good feeling.
"Since we are here, let's find peace. At least, we are safe now."
Ding Fan imdiately said.
After speaking, Ding Fan expanded his Divine Sense to observe the cave. Sitting and waiting for fate was definitely not in his nature.
Since these Yuan Beasts were very afraid of sothing inside this cave, there must be sothing special here.
This cave was certainly not just any ordinary cave.
Using his Divine Sense, Ding Fan discovered that there was indeed another passage behind a stone wall where they were.
Delighted by this discovery, Ding Fan imdiately walked over to the stone wall and began to explore.
The sound of Ding Fan exploring the wall clearly attracted He Qianyao's attention. Although the pitch-black cave didn't allow her to see him, the sound was very clear.
"What are you doing?"
He Qianyao directly asked Ding Fan.
"Get back a bit, I want to open this wall."
Ding Fan said directly.
Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, He Qianyao was stunned.
He wants to open this wall?
Could there be a passage behind this wall? He Qianyao, being quite intelligent, quickly thought of this. However, she was still extrely surprised.
How did he know there was a passage behind this wall?
Could it be that his Divine Sense wasn't blocked here? After all, when He Qianyao used her Divine Sense to scan the wall, there was no effect at all, and her Divine Sense was completely isolated.
He Qianyao, full of doubts, then made room behind the stone wall.
At this mont, Ding Fan gathered all his True Qi and punched around the wall fiercely. This was his last chance. If he didn't find a way out, the final result would be being trapped to death in this cave.
Boom!
With a dull sound, the wall collapsed, revealing another passage in front of Ding Fan and He Qianyao.
At this mont, a glimr of bright and dazzling light erged from the passage. Although not as bright as outside, it illuminated the entire passage. Looking closely, one would find this light was reflected by so ice crystals on the ground and stone wall. The entire passage was not claustrophobic, but the temperature was extrely low, and ice crystals were everywhere on the ground and stone wall.
Upon seeing this scene, Ding Fan and He Qianyao were both overjoyed. Having a cave here gave them a glimr of hope, much better than being stuck in a dead end.
Upon seeing this, He Qianyao was extrely shocked by Ding Fan, feeling amazed at how he discovered it.
This was really a bit too unscientific!
However, since they found a way, it was ultimately a good thing, and she quickly followed Ding Fan.
Just as Ding Fan was about to leave, a large amount of Cold Qi seed to have transmitted from this new passage to the outside of the cave, causing a cacophony of Yuan Beast howls outside that was deafening, as if an endless wave was passing through the cave.
The sounds of Yuan Beast howls were so nurous that even people distant several kiloters away could definitely hear them, and this was the unity of beasts' cries; even so timid individuals might not dare to go out in broad daylight upon hearing such a sound.
A wave of beast cries ca; He Qianyao couldn't help but feel tense, leaning close to Ding Fan. Apparently, she was equally frightened by the Yuan Beast roars.
He Qianyao then nervously looked at Ding Fan and said:
"This place seems very unusual."
Ding Fan imdiately patted He Qianyao's body and comforted her, saying:
"Don't be afraid. With here, nothing will happen to you. Co on, this is the only way."
Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, He Qianyao seed to gain a bit of confidence and then followed Ding Fan down the passage.
