Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

"Roar!" A lion's roar that shook the very soul came from the back of the secret passage, sometimes near, sometimes far, as if it could catch up with them at any moment.

Their escape speed increased without them even realizing it.

The old man focused intently on sensing the aura, then his expression darkened slightly. Under Xiao Wuli's gaze, he slowly said, "This aura is incredibly powerful. Even I, a deity, couldn't detect it. I only know that, like my master, it definitely doesn't belong to this world, or even to this Great Thousand World!"

Xiao Wuli's eyes darkened slightly, and he understood the old man's unspoken meaning in just one second.

My master came to this world because of the power of that spirit beast, which means...

Master will be taken back.

Xiao Wuli was not gripped by the fingers that were slowly tightening their grip on her wrist; the neatly trimmed nails dug into her palm.

He only longed to stand behind his master and catch a glimpse of him from afar, never imagining that his master would leave one day.

If Master leaves, then who will come into this body?

So it was that master who had tried to seduce him in every way?

He clenched his fist and squeezed hard, and bright red blood slowly flowed down his finger bones, dripping down one drop at a time.

A sinister glint flashed across his deep, dark phoenix eyes!

How could Master leave... how could he...

No!

.

While fleeing, Chi Buwan searched for the weakest point in the secret room.

Since there's no way out, let's find a way to break through from the inside and rush out!

Suddenly noticing Xiao Wuli's strange mood behind him, he quickly asked 337: "Quick, quick! Find a relatively safe place to hide. Xiao Wuli is scared!!"

Amidst its busy schedule, 337 managed to glance back at Xiao Wuli, only to be met with a pair of dark, malevolent eyes, brimming with an intense possessiveness. Startled, it turned back to its host, who hadn't even had time to look back, its voice trembling with fear, "Host, why don't you turn around and take a look?"

Stop joking! Hurry up!

Every second you turn around slows you down by five meters, and the mythical beast keeps chasing you, the distance between you and the beast is constantly closing.

Who dares to turn back at this crucial juncture?

Behind him, Xiao Wuli's fear was so intense it almost swallowed him whole. If he didn't find a place to comfort him soon, he was afraid he would be scared out of his wits!

It wasn't long before I started to regret it.

It's all his fault for not giving Xiao Wuli a proper warning!

He was used to playing similar escape games and was used to being chased. Although he was afraid of being chased by that ugly mythical beast, he could still bear it.

The worst that can happen is death.

But the thought that even death wouldn't be complete made the last bit of fear in my heart disappear.

But Xiao Wuli was different! He usually stayed in the Lingxiao Sect, obediently cultivating and sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the door. He had never seen such a terrifying scene before.

337:........

337 didn't try to persuade them any further and quickly found a relatively safe place, but...

It asked: "Host, are you sure you want to go to that slightly safer place?"

"Try talking nonsense again," Chi Buwan threatened.

337 abandoned his conscience and tapped the screen twice.

"Click".

A faint sound suddenly rang out, as if some kind of mechanism had been triggered.

The next second, Chi Buwan, who was holding Xiao Wuli's hand, suddenly couldn't run anymore. When she looked back, she saw that Xiao Wuli had been sucked into a secret room.

"Master, you go first." Xiao Wuli reacted quickly and immediately tried to break free from the hand that was holding her wrist.

"Roar!!!" The lion's roar was even closer, and the sound of the divine beast crashing through the narrow secret passage seemed to be right next to their ears.

[Host, it's me...]

Without the slightest hesitation, Chi Buwan rushed forward and together with Xiao Wuli, they entered the opened secret chamber.

"Bang!"

The door to the secret chamber was closed, and half a second later, a loud crashing sound of rubble fell as the divine beast roared and ran past the door!

Chi Buwan, who had rushed into the secret room, didn't stop in time and landed directly on Xiao Wuli. He heard a muffled groan and felt himself supporting himself with his hands on either side as he got up to leave.

"Bang!"

"Hiss~!"

Chi Buwan gasped in pain as he was suddenly hit on the back of the head. Before he could recover, a pair of large hands gently cupped the back of his head, and then Xiao Wuli's tense voice rang in his ear.

"Master, your head... let me see, is it...?"

"It's alright." Chi Buwan raised her head slightly, subconsciously avoiding the grasp of those large hands, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Ouch! ...

Pain has been shielded for the host.

Is it too late? ......

When all else fails, I'm at my wit's end. [Dude, could you please shield me from the pain just once before I get hurt?]

337 paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded emphatically, "Yes!"

Chi Buwan's lips twitched slightly. He lowered his eyes and met Xiao Wuli's worried and tense eyes, which seemed to be about to well up with tears. His slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

He gently and slowly reassured her a couple more times, "Don't be afraid, your master is here."

After Xiao Wuli calmed down, he took the time to look around the secret room and saw a small luminous pearl that illuminated the space. The rest of the room was surrounded by walls, so that two adults could not lie down side by side.

Is it too late?

What kind of place is this?

337 answers: [A relatively safe place.]

Is it too late? ......

[However, it won't be safe in five minutes.] 337 said, [In five minutes, the secret chamber will open, and the surrounding walls will slowly squeeze towards the center, filling the empty space. If there is no physical barrier, it will continue to shrink until the intruder is trapped inside the secret stone, ultimately becoming a human stone guarding this place, a living sacrifice.]

Is it too late?.........

337 offered a clever suggestion: "Host, you can hold on like this. When the chamber stops moving, you'll have more room to maneuver and find an opportunity to break through this stone sculpture."

"Master, am I holding everyone back?"

Chi Buwan lowered her eyes and, through the dim light, saw Xiao Wuli's slightly reddened eyes. Her expression froze, and she supported herself with one hand while using the other to rub his face, leaving a gray mark on his cheek.

Feeling a little guilty, he cleared his throat and reassured her, "I didn't hold you back, don't overthink it."

Then, after a while, he relayed the system's message to him, saying slowly, "...Don't be afraid, your master will definitely get you out of here."
