Chapter 1 The Mysterious Cave

This was a mysterious cave. Everything was so clear in her eyes the moment Zhang Yunyan entered.

She saw it and couldn't help but scream, with her nervous eyes freezing instantly and her expression showing fear and surprise. She had to stay still without a move.

The instant condensation, the instant shock, and the instant dullness... all of these happened at this moment.

In this mysterious cave, there were magical and odd things, as well as gorgeous and lovely objects. All these magical and gorgeous things and objects didn't eliminate the tension in the cave, it only made it even more dubious and daunting.

Zhang Yunyan was shocked at this moment, and she didn't have any time to react, looking at it in a dull manner with her jaw dropped.

Was she afraid? Maybe a little bit, but it hadn't reached the level of extreme fear.

Was she suspicious? Maybe somewhat, but this feeling wasn't the main one.

Was she nervous? She sure was, but the impact of the sudden change in mood was not the biggest.

It was because she saw something unexpected, and her mind and body were so strongly shocked by the magical and odd objects that she couldn't retreat and instead remained stupefied.

Speaking of Zhang Yunyan, her nickname was Yun Feiyan. She was only 18 years old, but she was a beautiful girl that came out once in a blue moon. Besides that, she was also an admired heroine. She looked like a fairy, so beautiful that it made everyone like her.

She lost her mother in her childhood, and her younger sister Zhang Yunxia, who she depended on, also went missing. Her elder brother Zhang Yuntian also never came back in his quest to find his sister. She was alone and helpless, and her young body and mind suffered an unimaginable blow.

Xiao Yunyan lost hope and love for her hometown, and she left home in order to find her siblings.

Along the way, she suffered endless hardships and suffering, but never heard from her elder brother or younger sister.

Since then, she had to live by begging as a vagrant child. The bitter and dangerous days for a lonely and helpless girl were even more unimaginable.

Over the years, she had endured all kinds of suffering, hunger and fatigue and so on. She had experienced countless dangers and risks. She even didn't know how she managed to survive in such bad situations.

Since childhood, Zhang Yunyan had suffered and was honed from her hard life, so she had developed a strong nature and a kind heart.

She was not afraid of danger, not afraid of death, and dared to face the forces of evil.

When she was a child, she was unscrupulous in self-protection and even risked her life against others who tried to take advantage of her. No matter how she was bullied and humiliated by other children, she didn't flinch at all. Even though she was beaten black and blue, she still never surrendered and fought to the end.

As a lonely and helpless girl, she could only fight stubbornly in order to survive. Otherwise, she would be ruthlessly bullied and would die at a young age.

When she grew up, she was still brave and strong, detested evil, and was brave enough to fight for justice.

People thought of her as a boy. She was admired by others not only because of her determined and valiant nature, but also due to her chivalrous sentiments of responsibility, with which even men couldn't compare.

It was because of these bitter experiences and countless hardships, that Zhang Yunyan could survive stubbornly and live tenaciously.

She was unfortunate but also fortunate. When she had nowhere to go in her childhood, she turned to her adoptive father, Lin Hailong, and her adoptive mother, Yang Yufeng, so that she not only had family affection, but also had the warmth of her family.

She lived together with her elder brother Lin Jiaxiang (her adoptive father's son) and her younger sister Lin Jiayun (her adoptive father's daughter), as well as her brother Zhao Jiayi (a son adopted by her adoptive father). They had a happy childhood, and also a deep sibling affection.

Even more fortunate, she had developed good martial art skills under the training of her adoptive parents.

Since then, she had the ability and confidence in protecting herself in the outside world, and not only sought to repay this blood debt for her own family, but also to take revenge on the hatred of the Lins, as well as to do something for the people.

Although Zhang Yunyan had suffered a lot of hardships in her life, she had grown into a beautiful girl.

She was secretly happy and admired her own beauty.

However, she also attracted a lot of troubles because of her flowery and charming appearance. She was often harassed by rogues, and sometimes villains tried to violently rape her.

Yunyan was strong and hateful towards evil, and never surrendered. Also, she was so good at martial arts that she didn't even pay attention to them. She always taught the crooks a lesson and also released her anger.

Now, she was already famous and became a beloved heroine.

This day, Zhang Yunyan intended to go home to slaughter the despotical local tyrant - Yan Xiaopeng, in order to get revenge for her murdered parents, but she didn't expect that she would encounter a monster - the Black Killer. And in the end, she was trapped in the black tiger cave deep in the mountains.

If the Black Killer didn't hurry to leave his cave for his appointment with his brother, Zhang Yunyan's soul would have already been taken away by the monster. Besides, her remaining soulless body would still be enslaved by him, and then would be tragically killed in the alchemy furnace.

The Black Killer, an elf evolved from a black bear, was fierce and brutal, terrifying people.

She didn't know how the Black Killer would take away her soul, nor did she know how the monster would treat herself later on.

However, she knew that her situation wouldn't be very good. The Black Killer was not only staring at her in a sexual manner, but also had taken action to arbitrarily bully her. This guy was so obsessed with her that he was already absent-minded. Terrible things were inevitable.

Yunyan had already seen his sly face full of lasciviousness, and knowing how terrible the consequences were, her body and mind trembled for a while. She knew that once she lost her soul, she would be powerless, and would be bullied and controlled by the monster.

Such a result was too miserable, she would be ruthlessly violated and murdered. She was frightened when she thought about it.

She didn't want to die like this, nor did she want to be raped by the black bear. She must take every effort to escape from the horrible demon cave.

She knew that there was not much time left for her to escape - she must leave here before dark. Otherwise, after the Black Killer returns, she would lose her soul. Not only would she definitely die, but she would also become a plaything of the monster before that.

However, outside the black tiger cave, there guarded the brown bear monster - Windblown Monster and the turtle monster. It was not an easy thing to escape.

The guards were two elves who had lost their souls. They were also soulless walking dead, but were loyal to their duties, completely obeying Black Killer.

In the face of the two elves, Zhang Yunyan didn't have enough power to escape, but she couldn't sit still, she had to find a way out from the black tiger cave.

In her search, she accidentally encountered a mouse who had led her into this mysterious cave.

What puzzled her was why the mouse did everything possible to bring her here, and why he had led her into the cave. All of these were unknown to her.

The mouse was very persistent and he must have an ulterior motive.

Yunyan knew that the mouse was very extraordinary - he had a huge body, shining fur, and he could understand human language... It had proved to be a well-educated elf.

All of these were Zhang Yunyan's previous experience. They were very complicated and couldn't be explained clearly at the moment. They will be clarified later.

Now, let's talk about this mysterious cave and see if Yunyan will be able to escape.

When Zhang Yunyan just entered this cave, she was shocked by the things in front of her. She didn't know what they were, what they were used for, and why they were so magical.

At this moment, her body and mind were strongly shocked. She couldn't react to it for a while and didn't have time to think about or carefully check it, only watching in surprise.

This cave was really mysterious. In the Black Killer's cave, she had never seen such an odd thing apart from his cave, so she felt that it was incredible.

This wasn't a big cave. But what was puzzling was that there were not only strange things inside but also strong contrasts, both mysterious and weird.

In this regard, anyone who had seen it would be shocked and puzzled.

This cave, like the entire black tiger cave, was made up of cyan rocks. But the strange thing was that the rocks on the wall were very different from that in the ground.

Uneven edges and corners were everywhere on the rock wall, and they were also the same as that on the top of the cave. They were naturally formed without being carved.

The ground was wide and very different from the rock wall, most of which were carefully carved.

The carved part was a very regular circle, smooth and bright. Its color - yellow-brown, wasn't the same as that of the rock wall. These two colors produced an obvious contrast and were completely different.

What was even more strange was that the ground was not only different from the cave wall, but also different within itself. Around the engraved round shape, there was no carved ground. This ground was uneven, wide and narrow, and it still retained its original natural state.

The ground that had not been carved was also the same as the cave wall - they were composed of cyan rocks and were originally from the cave wall.

On the ground, the carved part was a large circle with a center in the middle. It seemed that the entire round rock was a whole. They were very flat and no gap could be found.

The circular ground was covered with carved patterns, smooth and shiny, without any flaws. They were not only carved, but also polished.

This huge round rock was a little bit dark and yellow, without any discolorations. She didn't know why it was so pure and so strange.

The pattern on the large disk was exquisite and beautiful, like a flying cloud, or running water, as well as what seemed like a dragon flying, or a beast running, or a raptor flying...

These patterns were both beautiful and vague. No one could understand them. It seemed to imply a mysterious feeling that couldn't be solved. It had a kind of majesty and arrogance, which made people feel uneasy.

Around the beautiful disk, there was a circle of different uneven cyan ground, whose composition and style was the same as that of the rock wall - their color had no difference, and there was no gap at the junction - the two were the same.

But the strange thing was why were their style and color completely different on the same ground? Why did it produce such a big difference? How was such a strange ground formed?

From the perspective of color, although they were on the same ground, they were not naturally formed, because the different colors of the boundaries were obvious, and they were very perfect circles. The two colors weren't mixed with each other, and they didn't have any discolorations.

It seemed that the two were not a whole rock, but two huge stones with different colors.

This carved round stone was very special, as if it was embedded on the original ground. But the strange thing was that the two were mixed in perfect harmony, and had seemingly no gap at the junction. It was incredible.

Zhang Yunyan looked at the strange things and became puzzled. She felt that it was not done by the Black Killer.

That was because that monster was too rude and clumsy to have such beautiful ideas and such exquisite techniques. Also, he wouldn't be so hardworking as to engage in such a large project.

Whose masterpiece was this? By what means had he used to make such a big contrast such that everything was completely different? Was it necessary to make such a painstaking effort? What was the intention behind it?

She was very suspicious and bewildered, but all these could only be pondered on.

She was not only deeply shocked by this, but also saw something even more bizarre, about which she was very surprised and amazed. Her eyes were fixed in the middle of the cave, and her whole body and mind were shocked.

At the center of the carved circular ground, there was raised a giant flower, and all parts of this flower were well polished.

The luxurious flower looked like a peony, but its petals were denser than that of peony. It also had the characteristics of chrysanthemums, but its petals were not as small and scattered as that of chrysanthemums. She did not know what the flower was.

In today's world, there are countless flowers, but none of the various flowers that people were familiar with were the same as this flower. The shape and style were strange and unique, which made it difficult to guess.

This flower was huge, beautiful, and fascinating, with a faint fragrance.

This was a beautifully carved flower, crystal clear, smooth, and shiny, and it looked like a real flower. She didn't know what material it was made of, and she didn't know why it gave off a pleasant fragrance. This was another puzzling mystery.

At the center of the flower stood tall pistils, with a round stamen with a flat tray on its top. The pistils and tray were as transparent as the petals and they were made of the same material.

The whole flower was pink, and its color changed to a brilliant blue inside. Its brilliant colors produced a mysterious illusion, which would make people admire.

But this was not the most important thing. The most unexpected and amazing thing was that there was something on the straight and tall tray. It was the most striking and magical thing in the entire cave.
