When they returned to the cave, the two of them ate heartily.

The sense of well-being brought about by the food dampened the loss of the prey that had been robbed. Su He and Chun Ran chatted nonchalantly. The evening sun cast a shocking purple glow on the distant mountains, and the weak chirping of insects could be heard from below, as if this was the human world. Su He thought of his penglai mountains, his master, his senior brother, and the person who had harmed him. Who am I, where am I from, where am I going? She told Chun Ran her question, and Chun Ran smiled as he went to find firewood to prepare for the night.

The howling at night was extremely cold in the abyss. Chun Ran stayed silent, adding firewood to the fire one by one.

"Is this how you usually live?" Su He suddenly asked with some heartache.

"Yeah, I'm used to it. Fire brings warmth, and I like to meditate in this warmth. "

"What are you thinking? Your family? Your sweetheart? " Su He was extremely gossipy.

"Those are things that have been far away from me for too long. I have long forgotten about them." Chun Ran's voice was a little hoarse.

"That's great, I also want to forget a lot of things. "Go to sleep." Su He turned around and suddenly fell asleep.

The girl in front of him was so cute even with a sigh, and she let out a sweet cry. Chun Ran was really envious of her heartlessness.

It was very comfortable to be with this person. After filling up the firewood, Chun Ran smiled and followed her example before he fell.

Su He felt at ease. She dreamed about the hillside where it was noon, the ancient trees that reached into the clouds, and the wind that blew through the shrubbery. She told herself to live well, to live for herself, not to commit suicide.

The bonfire was extinguished slowly because there was no one to add wood. The moonlight shone through the fog into the cave, leaving behind a clear silhouette. Chun Ran did not sleep deeply, as he was in an abyss filled with wild beasts. He had never dared to relax his guard.

There was a sound! Chun Ran wasn't sure if it was a nocturnal wild beast or not, but he became more alert to see where the sound was coming from. When the sound came closer, and disappeared from the cave about ten metres away, Chun Ran felt something very strange. Fortunately, the fire had been extinguished and the night was dark and the wind was strong. The cave he was hiding in should not be discovered. Su He was still not alerted by the danger. He shook his head helplessly. Thinking about the abnormal intelligence of the wild beast in the afternoon, Chun Ran did not dare to let his guard down.

After a long time, the cave seemed to return to its previous tranquility. The only sounds that could be heard were the whistling of the wind and the crickets in the grass. Chun Ran knew that the danger was not too far away. It was waiting for an opportunity.

The moonlight was dim, and after passing through the barrier of the leaves, it became messy and cracked. A gust of wind blew past, and it seemed like there was a cloud that had blocked the moon. The cave was pitch black! Chun Ran slowly stood up. He knew that this was the best opportunity to attack and held back the flint tightly.

Sure enough, heavy footsteps could be heard and the cave seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. A pair of blue lanterns was seen at the mouth of the cave amidst the chaos, staring straight into the cave!

"Damn, it's that monster's eyes!" Chun Ran roared.

Su He woke up from his stupor. What was going on? Did senior experience an earthquake? "

"Get up, it's the monster that stole our food in the afternoon!" Chun Ran stared outside the cave.

The monster was also staring at the two of them at a steady pace, as if it was sizing up their fear with great interest.

"Didn't it already steal our prey? What is it doing here now?" Su He thought about what had happened in the past few days and felt extremely angry.

"Maybe your stone annoyed it? "It's not important anymore. Let's think about how we're going to get out of here." Chun Ran maintained his calm.

The monster finally made its move. The small monster couldn't enter the cave, so he stretched out his front claws and desperately dug around the cave. It wanted to bury the two alive!

"We can't wait any longer. If we seal up the entrance, it will be difficult to get out." Chun Ran decided to give it a shot.

"How does it keep us out of the cave?" Su He was anxious too.

"I still have some flint. Quickly pile up the rest of the firewood." Chun Ran instructed.

When Su He heard this, he piled up the dried up firewood that had not been burnt up. He then ignited the firewood quickly and used his divine power to push a ball of fire towards the monster.

"Howl!" With a blood-curdling screech, the monster was caught off guard and fell back. Su He pulled Chun Ran and rushed out of the cave. There were a lot of bushes at the foot of the mountain, making it easier to hide.

"We were too anxious, we should have used the torches to scare the monsters away, what do we do if we don't have any fire now?!" Su He was a little confused.

"Only a sudden attack can frighten this beast. Do you think it's afraid of fire? It's not afraid of fire at all!" Chun Ran explained. The two of them quickly slipped into the bushes, hoping to avoid the monsters' pursuit.

Who would have thought that the monster had a pair of night vision eyes. Its deep blue eyes looked around and quickly found where they were.

"I can't just sit there and wait for death. Watch me!" Su He jumped out of the bushes and used his Floating Python Congealing Finger, consecutively shooting out multiple finger shadows. The monster remained motionless, allowing the attack to hit its body without any damage.

"Come down! Howling Abyss has too much mana limitation, you won't be able to beat it! " Chun Ran panicked.

The beast used its four legs to stomp on the ground and started to sprint. Su He only felt the ground shake and the mountains shake. Chun Ran hugged Su He as he squatted on the spot, but he didn't have enough time to think too much into it. The monster quickly dashed in front of them and took a step back. Its body was like a cannonball as it pounced towards the two of them.

"One, two, three!" Chun Ran's calculations were extremely accurate. He channeled his Divine Power into his three hands and leapt backwards, dodging the beast's pounce as he brought down the fire.

"It's too dangerous!" Su He reached out and grabbed Chun Ran tightly, afraid that he would be thrown out of his hands.

"I can't go on like this. My meager divine power won't be able to hold on for long." Chun Ran said helplessly, at the same time, he was also thinking about how to escape.

"Why don't we split up so that it has no target." Su He suggested.

"No, it's too dangerous. If we act alone, we will only be defeated. We can't outrun it."

"Then let it chase after me. Run for yourself!" Su He gained courage from who knows where.

"Nonsense, I won't abandon my companions." Chun Ran was very firm.

Monster shook his head and started to sprint again. This time, it was smart, pretending to pout to the left, but in fact, it was prepared to pounce to the right. Sure enough, he was already in a mountain behind him, and he had nowhere to retreat to. This time, it was Su He who used his divine power to pull Chun Ran to the right and dodge. The monster that was pretending to leap quickly landed and pounced towards the right with all its limbs!

"Damn it, cunning beast!" Su He scolded.

"It's too late …"

Chun Ran suddenly pushed Su He away, turning his body around in the air to face the monster, and opened his hands to chant. He didn't have time to be surprised by his comrade's sudden turn of events, only to see a pile of white bones suddenly appearing in the air! That white bone grew several times larger. He sat down cross-legged, and countless ferocious looking animal heads surrounded him. Su He shut his eyes in fear, not daring to look anymore. The wild beast was obviously shocked by the "spectacular" scene as well.

"Alright, the beast is leaving." Chun Ran came to Su He's side and said indifferently.

Su He opened his eyes in disbelief, looking at the man in front of him who had returned to his original form.

"Since you are a Demon King, why … Why are you here? " Su He had not recovered.

"The past is unforgettable. I just like to stay here."
