301: Entering the Bleeding Cave, thanks again from Biyao

Chapter 301: Entering the Dripping Blood Cave, Bi Yao's Second Thanks

Inside the tunnel beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss, it was pitch black, and the air was filled with a damp, decaying smell.

Su Han supported the inconveniently moving Bi Yao, slowly exploring forward.

Meanwhile, Bi Yao would still occasionally sneak a glance at Su Han's profound profile.

His well-defined face subtly exuded a mysterious charm in the darkness, filling her mind with wild and unrealistic thoughts.

"Are the entries I plundered from Xiao Bai a bit too overbearing?"

Su Han watched Bi Yao's little actions, smiled, and didn't pay much mind.

After all, he knew why this was happening. That was a golden entry. Even Su Ru, a married woman, knew it was wrong but couldn't resist...

Let alone a young girl like Bi Yao, who was just experiencing first love?

The two had their own thoughts.

However, Bi Yao did not forget the main task.

Every time she reached a fork in the road, she would tentatively shout forward, "Uncle Qing Long, Uncle Qing Long..."

Her voice echoed continuously in the narrow and deep tunnel, sound after sound. However, the only response she ever received was the hollow echo; there was no sound from Qing Long.

At first, it was fine, but as time passed and she received no response, she inevitably grew worried.

"Su Han, what do you think Uncle Qing Long is like now?"

Bi Yao's brows furrowed tightly, and her eyes were full of worry.

Seeing Bi Yao like this, Su Han's mouth curved slightly upwards, revealing a faint smile. He gently comforted her, saying, "With Fellow Daoist Qing Long's strength, this level of cave-in is just a trivial matter for him. It won't put his life in danger."

Hearing Su Han's words, Bi Yao lowered her head slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and felt that what Su Han said indeed seemed reasonable.

Only then did she feel slightly less worried.

However, her gaze inadvertently fell upon her injured ankle, and she couldn't help but inwardly complain, "Is Su Han saying this because he thinks I'm very weak?"

Thinking again about the gap in strength between herself and Su Han, she couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.

In her heart, she recalled her previous freedom, how she had been willfully unwilling to Cultivate because she was constantly arguing with her father.

Thinking about it now, she suddenly felt a bit regretful.

"From now on, I must become stronger! I can't stay this weak anymore!"

Bi Yao lightly bit her silver teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she secretly encouraged herself in her heart.

Su Han, however, did not see Bi Yao's unusual state and continued to support her as they walked.

It was unclear how much longer they walked, still without seeing Qing Long's figure. But at this moment...

Su Han seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped at a fork in the road.

Bi Yao tilted her head, looked at the suddenly stopped Su Han, and said with anticipation, "Immortal Su Han, why did you stop?"

"Could it be that you found Uncle Qing Long?"

Su Han slightly raised his head and tilted his ear, as if catching some extremely subtle sound.

After a moment, he slowly said, "I didn't find Qing Long, but..."

"I seem to hear the sound of water."

"It's very faint, but it's definitely there!"

Hearing this, Bi Yao quickly calmed herself, held her breath, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

After a while, a faint, almost imperceptible sound of flowing water, like a thread, gently entered her ears.

Her eyes immediately lit up. With a hint of excitement in her tone, she said, "Immortal Su Han, the entrance to the Dripping Blood Cave we are going to seems to be behind a water curtain."

"Could it be that we are almost there?"

Su Han nodded. He had also thought of this point, and a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"It's very likely. This sound of water might be the clue guiding us to the Dripping Blood Cave."

"Even if it's not here, as long as we follow the water vein, we will eventually find it."

Bi Yao's eyes sparkled with excitement. She nodded vigorously and said, "Then, Immortal Su Han, let's hurry over!"

"If we can find the Dripping Blood Cave, we might be able to find Uncle Qing Long. After all, Uncle Qing Long's goal is also here."

Su Han nodded. "I don't know if there are any other dangers in this tunnel. If we do encounter any danger, you look after yourself first and don't worry about me."

Immediately, without waiting for Bi Yao to retort, he spoke again, "Alright, let's go!"

Instantly, their pace quickened significantly.

They advanced for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

As the sound of water became clearer and clearer, their moods became increasingly excited, especially Su Han's. After all, the Dripping Blood Cave contained the heavenly book grand summary he had been painstakingly searching for.

Until, the two arrived before a small waterfall.

Although the waterfall was not large, it had a unique imposing presence.

The water flowed down from above, heavily impacting the rocks below, splashing up crystalline water droplets. The sound was exceptionally clear in the silent tunnel, as if playing a mysterious piece of music.

Through the water curtain, they indeed saw several red gems behind it. The water flowed over the gems...

In the dim light, they refracted strange rays of light, looking as if they were truly dripping blood.

Bi Yao cried out in surprise, her voice filled with irrepressible excitement, "Immortal Su Han, we really found it! We really found the Dripping Blood Cave!"

"All the hardship along the way wasn't in vain after all."

Su Han also couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Yes, we finally found it!"

"It's just that, although we've arrived at the entrance, how do we get in?"

Bi Yao looked at the Blood Drop Waterfall in front of her at this moment, surveying the surroundings.

"Leave it to me."

Su Han looked at the searching Bi Yao, spoke directly, and then walked forward, quickly arriving at the small pond beneath the waterfall.

"I remember in the original work, Bi Yao found the switch in the pond..."

Su Han thought in his heart, bent down, and searched the area around the pond with his gaze.

Not long after, he found a place that was clearly different from the surroundings in its texture, shaped exactly like a leaf, with slightly irregular patterns on its edges.

"It should be right here!"

Su Han pressed the mechanism without hesitation.

Boom... rumble...!

Instantly, the ground trembled slightly. Su Han turned around, dashed forward, and scooped Bi Yao into his arms.

Bi Yao let out a surprised cry and subconsciously hugged Su Han's neck tightly, her face full of astonishment.

But before she could speak.

Immediately after, the two only felt their bodies suddenly sink, and they rapidly descended along an invisible force, with the sound of wind whistling in their ears.

However, they didn't descend for long this time. Soon, the two landed back on the ground.

And in front of the two was a massive stone door.

The stone door was ancient and heavy, covered with mysterious runes and patterns that were obscure and difficult to understand. They flickered with faint light, interwoven and intertwined, exuding an ancient and mysterious Aura.

A blush rose on Bi Yao's face. She shyly broke free from Su Han's embrace and said softly, "Immortal Su Han, thank you for saving me again just now..."

She slightly bit her lip, and her eyes showed a hint of a maiden's shyness.

Su Han smiled. "Are you going to say next, 'This humble girl has nothing to repay you with, save for offering herself'?'"

"You're annoying~"

Bi Yao instantly relaxed and playfully pouted, "Definitely... definitely not."

Su Han laughed heartily, then no longer paid attention to the shy Bi Yao, but looked at the ancient and heavy stone door with burning eyes.

"Heavenly Book, I'm coming!"
