In the arena, everyone furrowed their brows as they saw that enchanting woman take out this strange treasure under heavy siege. Most of them thought she was going to put up a desperate fight, and so each of them focused their minds and prepared to defend themselves. Only Shi Tou let out a loud shout, his Breaking Evil Staff dancing through the air as he charged forward.

  Zhang Xiaofan didnt even have time to shout "be careful" before the three-tailed demon foxs slender, gentle and charming eyes glanced at the huge body rushing towards the stone, her hands grasping a red tassel on either side of the jade ring, slowly lifting it up and holding it in front of her.

  That jade ring was gently rotating, as if still reflecting her face.

  The moonlight shone softly and coldly on the Xuanhuo Mirror, and for some reason, the ancient flame totem carved on it seemed to come back to life at this moment, vivid and lifelike, as if it were really burning.

  The stone flew up into the air, and with a loud crash, the Broken Seal Staff descended from above. "You wicked creature, accept your death!" he bellowed.

  At that moment, the center of Xuanhuo Mirror, where the flame totem was located, suddenly changed from its original dark red color to a bright, almost transparent crimson color in an instant, as if the flame totem had been burned to a scorching heat by the Nine Heavens Divine Fire in the blink of an eye.

  And that flame totem had already transformed into a raging inferno.

  A bewitching woman stood at the center, a formless, scorching aura burst out in all directions with a loud "whoosh", except for the few feet around her where she was standing, all the grass and trees within three zhangs were suddenly scorched yellow, yet strangely, there wasnt a single spark, nor did they catch fire.

  Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao looked at each other in dismay, never having thought that the three-tailed demon fox would have such a powerful treasure. The stone that was pouncing on the three-tailed demon fox in mid-air also witnessed this scene, although it was also shocked by the power of the treasure, but surprisingly showed no fear, its right hand grasping the giant wolf-tooth club that was emitting golden light, and with a sharp whistle, it spun around in a circle and struck the three-tailed demon fox on the head.

  The stick was still in mid-air, and the ground was already filled with flying sand and stones. The three-tailed fox looked as if her weak body would be blown away by the strong wind. But she just smiled coldly, hooked her fingers around the red silk tassel, tilted her body slightly, and aimed at the incoming stones.

  That burning Xuan fire, reflected in her gentle and charming eyes, seemed like two piles of angry flames.

  Boom!

  In the midst of a deafening roar, a fire dragon suddenly shot out from the flame pattern at the center of the Xuanhuo Mirror, its jaws wide open and claws dancing wildly, its presence shaking the heavens. Its entire body was engulfed in raging flames, illuminating nearly half of the forest as bright as daybreak.

  The stone was shocked, and saw that the fire dragon suddenly grew larger. When it first came out of the Xuanhuo Mirror, it was just a flame, but when it reached in front of him, the dragons head was already as big as two people. Especially the scorching air, which rushed towards him, making him suspect that he was inside a furnace.

  Looking from below, Zhang Xiaofan saw that the stone was under the impact of the giant fire dragon, and before they even clashed, the black front ends on both sides had already turned dry yellow. It can be imagined what kind of situation Stone was facing.

  But the stone statue was unyielding and fearless, though startled it did not become disordered. The broken staff of destruction under its powerful magical support became even more radiant with golden light, striking down at the dragons head as it charged forward.

  The fire dragon let out a roar in mid-air, and two angry flames shot out from its huge dragon eyes. With a loud crash, it opened its scorching hot mouth and bit down on the giant wolf-toothed club that was falling from above.

  A golden and crimson halo mixed with the light of the setting sun, rapidly expanding from the point where they met, accompanied by a loud rumble. The stone felt that in an instant, the broken staff in his hand was almost too hot to hold onto. In great shock, he exerted his divine power and forcibly pulled out the broken staff from the dragons mouth.

  Only a fire dragon was seen flying in the sky, roaring incessantly. Suddenly it opened its huge mouth and spewed out a thick column of flames that shot straight at the stone.

  The stone let out a loud roar, his hands grasped the seal, and the Breaking Axe stood horizontally in front of him. The golden light flashed, and a beam of light rose up to block the fire pillar, but his body was involuntarily pushed backward by the enormous force.

  Zhang Xiaofan saw the stone fall downwind, and was in danger, so he quickly took action. The fireball rose silently from the side and shot towards the fire dragon. Unexpectedly, the fire dragon seemed to have a spiritual nature, and without looking, it turned its head, glared with its huge eyes, opened its mouth, and another thick pillar of flame rushed over.

  Zhang Xiaofan was caught off guard, and before he could react, the flames surged forward like a mountain range, sweeping everything in their path. With no way to avoid them, he gritted his teeth, summoned his magical powers, and conjured up a green glow on his fire-tipped staff, using it to block the incoming wave of flames.

  Just then, the three-tailed demon fox let out a long laugh and rose into the air, the Xuanhuo Mirror in his hand shining brightly as he charged towards the two. Zhang Xiaofan and Shi Tou were caught off guard while entangled with the fire dragon, and even Bi Yao standing behind the three-tailed demon fox was shocked. In her haste, she let out a clear shout, and Bi Yao flew into the air, her right hand like jade as her fingers curved and extended, the Heartbreak Flower transforming into countless petals that filled the sky and danced towards the back of the three-tailed demon fox.

  In a place where no one could see, Bi Yaos left hand had quietly placed itself at her waist, grasping the small golden bell in her hand.

  The three-tailed fox seemed to know the ferocity of the Heartbreak Flower and didnt dare to confront it head-on, dodging to the side. Bi Yao also didnt give chase, instead flashing over to Zhang Xiaofans location, standing beside him in mid-air.

  Zhang Xiaofan looked up at her, and Bi Yaos eyes fluttered, but she also happened to be looking back at him.

  Zhang Xiaofan didnt know why, but he immediately turned his head again.

  The fire dragon was still dominating the air, but the three-tailed demon fox didnt hesitate for a moment after Bi Yao rushed past. She stretched out her hand and beckoned, and the Xuanhuo Mirror flew back into her hands. Her entire body transformed into a white light, disappearing into the dark depths of the forest.

  Zhang Xiaofan and the other two were stunned for a moment.

  ※※※

  In the distance, Zhou Yi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, it seems that these three-tailed demon foxes are not powerful enough to wield the power of the Xuanhuo Mirror, they can only scare these young people. Otherwise, if they had used the power of the Xuanhuo Mirror, these few people would have been in danger."

  Xiao Huan said discontentedly beside him: "How do you know shes not good enough? I think she can hold her own against three people, and doesnt fall behind."

  On Monday, Xian glared at her and said: "What do you know? The Xuán Huǒ Jiàn is an ancient divine artifact, its power unparalleled. Legend has it that at its most ferocious, it can summon the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons, burning everything in the world to ashes. Wouldnt that be enough to burn these young people who dont know their place to nothing but dust?"

  Xiao Huan hummed and ignored him, turning her head to look into the field. Suddenly, she frowned and said, "Grandpa, it seems theyre chasing after them again."

  On Monday, Xian was startled and quickly looked over, and indeed saw Zhang Xiaofan and others seemingly discussing a few words before turning around to chase after the dark depths, where the three-tailed demon fox had disappeared earlier. Shi Tou took the lead, and Zhang Xiaofan walked two steps before realizing that Bi Yao hadnt moved. He turned around to face Bi Yao, seeming to want to say something, but for some reason, he hesitated, his face flushing slightly red.

  Bi Yao suddenly smiled faintly and seemed to mutter a low warning, then went ahead. Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and followed after her.

  Xian was stunned for a moment on Monday, stomping his foot and saying: "These young people are really ignorant of life and death. With the three-tailed demon fox having the Xuanhuo Mirror in hand, how can they still dare to chase after it?"

  Xiao Huan took a bite of the ice sugar gourd beside her, and calmly said: "Didnt you say it yourself, old man? The three-tailed foxs cultivation isnt enough to wield the true power of the Xuanhuo Mirror. If thats the case, then having the Xuanhuo Mirror is no different from not having it. What do these young people have to be afraid of?"

  On Monday, Xian was stunned, as if being choked, and couldnt say a word for a long time. After a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Quick, lets go too!"

  Xiao Huan was startled by him and asked: "Leave? Where to?"

  On Monday, Xian took a big step forward and said, "Of course, were going to get rid of the demon."

  Xiao Huan sneered and followed up, saying: "In the past, youve encountered so many big demons, small demons, and not-so-big demons. Why do I only see you running away, but never charging forward to get rid of them?"

  On Monday, Xian Laos face turned red and he said, "For us who roam the world, the most important thing is to have self-awareness... huh?"

  He had spoken halfway, when he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze drawn to something else. Xiao Huan was behind him and followed his line of sight, only to see Zhou Yi Xian staring at the old well that had been quietly standing there from the beginning, without any movement or sound.

  At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan and others have all disappeared into the darkness. The countless monsters that seemed to be present just now are also completely gone. Only Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan were left in the forest, with the cold moonlight shining quietly on the ancient well, reflecting the green moss and ancient marks, revealing a hint of desolation and bleakness.

  Xian took a deep breath and walked over. Xiaohuan followed behind him, feeling somewhat nervous as well, and asked, "Grandfather, what do you want to do?"

  Xian frowned on Monday and said, "Id like to take a look at whats strange about this well. Why did the three-tailed fox spirit keep asking that young man what he saw?"

  Xiao Huan stopped three steps away from the ancient well, her heart racing with a sense of unease. The surroundings were quiet and dark, but in the darkness, she felt as if there was a gentle breeze blowing by. She couldnt shake off the feeling that countless eyes were watching her from the shadows.

  On Monday, Xian walked to the edge of the ancient well, looked around and saw nothing unusual, then he was about to look down. Xiaohuan suddenly felt a bit tense behind him and shouted: "Grandpa, be careful."

  Xian looked at her and smiled slightly, saying "Nothings wrong." After that, he looked down into the well.

  Xiao Huan stared intently at his face, and suddenly saw a look of surprise appear on Zhou Yi Xians originally tense and solemn face, which then turned into joy in the blink of an eye, but transformed into doubt again, raising her head to ponder deeply.

  Xiao Huan walked up and whispered: "Grandpa, what did you see?"

  On Monday, Xian frowned and said: "I saw a mountain of gold."

  Xiao Huan: *silence*

  On Monday, Xian muttered to himself: "The reflection in this well water is not a human shadow, how strange..."

  "Ah!" Suddenly, a soft cry came from Xiao Huan beside him, Zhou Yi Xian was startled and quickly turned to look at her, only to see that Xiao Huan had also leaned over the well and was looking down, now lifting her head up.

  Xian was stunned for a moment on Monday and said, "What did you see?"

  "Like a mountain of ice sugar gourds."

  Xian fell to the ground on Monday.

  Later, as the two of them walked deeper into the forest, Zhou Yixian whispered to Xiaohuan: "Ive been thinking and thinking, this ancient well is probably the Full Moon Well from the old legend. Its said that during a full moon, if you look down into it, youll see the person or thing you love most. But I still cant figure out why the three-tailed fox spirit kept asking that young man what he saw in the well. Now, Im really curious - what did that young man actually see?"

  ※※※

  This forest, from the outside, seems not to be large, but Zhang Xiaofan and others are in it, in the vast night, there is a kind of boundless illusion. The three people each started their magic treasures, traveling through the darkness, closely tracking the white light in front, which was the trace left by the three-tailed demon fox when it escaped.

  The white light flashed in front of everyones eyes, but suddenly disappeared into thin air. Zhang Xiaofan and the others drove their magic treasures and arrived at the place where the white light had disappeared in an instant. They saw that there were ancient trees all around, and on a clearing in the forest, there was a small hill. On one side of the hill, there was a cave entrance, and the rocks beside the cave entrance were all black.

  Needless to say, this is Hei Shi Dong Cave.

  The three of them stopped in their tracks at the entrance, exchanged a glance, and looked into the black stone cave. They felt that although the entrance was not large, inside it was pitch-black, giving people a feeling of being bottomless. A wave of cold yin wind blew out, brushing against their bodies, as if they had goosebumps.

  Bi Yao furrowed her brow and said: "This cave is fraught with unknown dangers, and the magical treasure in that demon foxs hand was extremely powerful. Lets not take the risk of going inside."

  Zhang Xiaofan glanced at her, but before he could speak, Shi Tou had already loudly said: "Brother Zhang, our mission to exorcise the demon is complete. If we let it go easily today, I fear that when this fox spirit comes out again in the future, its evil deeds will be even more severe."

  Zhang Xiaofan immediately nodded and said: "Shi Ges words make sense, lets go in now."

  Bi Yaos face changed, just about to get angry, but saw Zhang Xiaofan turn his head around, with a sincere expression, lowering his voice, saying: "Inside is really dangerous, I and Shi Da Ge are from Zheng Dao Men, cant avoid it. You, you," he paused for a moment, turned his head away, but the sound still came over, "your own safety is important, dont take risks lightly."

  Bi Yao couldnt see Zhang Xiao Fans expression, but she could hear the sincerity in his tone, and her heart skipped a beat with sweetness. However, her mouth remained cold as she said, "I can go in if I want to, what business is it of yours?"

  Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and couldnt speak for a while.

  The stone beside him looked at them with a strange expression, shook his head and said: "Brother Zhang, lets go in."

  Zhang Xiaofan responded with a sound, and couldnt help but take another look at Bi Yao. He saw Bi Yao hum a sound, her body moved, and she rushed ahead of the two of them, entering that pitch-black cave where one couldnt see their own fingers. Zhang Xiaofan was startled, and hastily followed after her, his ears hearing the howling wind, thinking that even the stones were following behind him.

  In the darkness, the sorrowful flower beside Bi Yao slowly lit up, and the soft white light illuminated an area of about five feet around. Zhang Xiaofan looked around, only to see that the surrounding rock walls were all covered with strange black stones as dark as ink, looking as hard as iron and steel, and exceptionally cold.

  This black stone cave is similar to the Wan Bat Cave on Kongshan Mountain, and as soon as you enter the entrance, the road goes straight down to the bottom of the earth, and the slope is even steeper than the Wan Bat Cave. I dont know whether it was dug out by villagers or if its natural.

  The three of them walked for a while, and they had already gone deep into the ground. However, there was no sound around them, not even any signs of living creatures. It didnt seem like they were in the Wan Bat Cave anymore, where countless terrifying blood-sucking bats dwelled. As Zhang Xiaofan walked, his mind couldnt help but wander back to the scene when he first entered the Wan Bat Cave. He naturally thought about the time when he and Bi Yao were trapped in the dripping blood cave under the Dead Spirit Spring.

  At this moment, Bi Yao suddenly stopped in her tracks and let out a soft cry. Zhang Xiaofan thought there was some danger and hastily rushed up to stand beside her. Bi Yao stared blankly for a moment before turning to look at him.

  There is no way out in front of me anymore.

  A precipice stretched out before him, with an inky blackness below, but as he looked into the distance, it seemed that there were still a few ghostly fires flickering in the depths of the darkness. Zhang Xiaofans body shook, and for a moment, he thought he had returned to the front of the Dead Spirit Abyss.

  However, its clear that this place is far inferior to the Dead Spirit Abyss, and just in terms of space, its smaller by at least a hundred times. Zhang Xiaofan furrowed his brow and turned back to look at Shi Tou. Shi Tou had also walked to the edge of the cliff and looked out, pondering for a moment before saying, "Zhang brother, it seems we have no choice but to go down."

  Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, "Shi Ge, you should be careful yourself."

  The stone-faced mans expression was solemn, saying "You are too." After that, he pointed with his finger, and the golden Broken Seal Staff rose to the front. He jumped up, took a deep breath, and then slowly descended.

  Zhang Xiaofan turned his head, glanced at Bi Yao, but this time, he didnt say anything (probably because he was scolded by Bi Yao just now). He then got up and followed her down.

  Bi Yao suddenly smiled from behind him, her smile full of joy.

  A golden, blue and white light cluster slowly fell from the cliff, surrounded by black rocks. Nothing else was noticeable, there were no sounds around, only a strange feeling that as it descended, the temperature around seemed to rise slowly.

  After falling for a while, Zhang Xiaofan relied on the light of the three peoples magic treasures to gradually see the surrounding environment. He saw that there was no way forward in front of the cliff, but rather a whole face of strange and steep absolute wall. The place where the three of them were located looked like an enlarged ancient well, straight down.

  Suddenly, the stone at the very bottom shouted: "Be careful."

  Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao were shocked, hastily on guard, only to see a small stone cave in the stone wall below not far away, with two small bright eyes staring at them from inside.

  The stone gestured to them and slowly approached, Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao both held their breath, staring closely at the spot.

  As they drew closer, it was unclear how long it had been since light had shone in this dark place. When the golden glow of the stones broken staff illuminated the small cave, they saw what was inside: a palm-sized old mouse, using the small cave as its nest, now staring wide-eyed at the three uninvited guests.

  The stone nodded and retreated, exchanging a glance with Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao behind him. The three of them smiled bitterly before continuing their descent.

  However, in the following scene, it was something they never expected.

  One, two, three... In the darkness or light, faintly lit, dim and obscure, in their front, back, left, right, up, down, and surroundings, slowly brightened. In the darkness, it seemed that countless low sighs were also transmitted, as if there was a low growl deep in the darkness.

  Although the area above Hei Shi Yan seems to be a barren land without any signs of life, in the depths below the cliff, where sunlight barely reaches, there are unexpectedly countless living organisms thriving.

  Darkness seemed to lift the veil of eternity before their eyes, accompanied by an inexplicable heartbeat. From that mouse hole onwards, more and more holes of various sizes appeared on the stone wall, until later there was almost one every few feet. And in those holes, all sorts of strange creatures dwelled: from small mice and bats to large black apes and leopards as tall as a person, who knows how they hunted for food?

  This was still somewhat the kind of animal they had seen before, but after going down a little further, they were even more stunned to see that there were originally aquatic crabs on this stone wall, and these crabs had four pincers; then there were six-legged raccoons with cute looks but unnameable names, double-horned monsters with king patterns on their foreheads that looked like a pig, and so on, countless.

  Innumerable eyes, as if gathering into a sea of dim light, gazed at the three people in the halo.

  Zhang Xiaofan was more and more surprised, and couldnt help but think that if his old friend Zeng Shushu from Qingyun Mountain were here, with his love for collecting rare and strange things, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear.
