In the demon cave filled with darkness and silence, it was ghostly and horrible. Voices outside came in from time to time but was melted instantly by the atmosphere of horror.

Thinking of the elves who had lost their souls, Zhang Yunyan was both nervous and fearful. On one hand, she was deeply anxious about her terrible end. On the other hand, she also suffered grief for those callous and dull ‘walking dead’.

It was so terrible to think about it in this situation. The Black Killer’s bottle was so powerful that it should turn living life one by one into a callous and dull ‘walking dead’. These ‘walking dead’ would be driven and used by Black Killer and would die in an alchemy furnace at the end. It was too sad!

It appeared that the precious bottle was indeed the ‘unprecedented and unique’ treasure. Once it was put into use, no one could be spared. It was so terrible that such a powerful treasure should be possessed by Black Killer, which was also the tragedy of human beings.

Zhang Yunyan was so upset and desperate to think that her soul would be taken by Black Killer tonight, and that she would become one of the ‘walking dead’ for the demons’ amusement and work for them without shame until she became alchemy material.

As unimaginable as the consequence were, she could not escape and fight back, and could only be of service to the demons.

Why was Black Killer eager to go to his big brother? What were the secrets between the two demons? What was the big brother, also a demon, practiced from? How far was his residence? Was it nearby or not?

Zhang Yunyan was thinking that it would be a big urgent event, because the Black Bear Demon was too busy to take away her soul.

She couldn’t guess what the demons were doing and was incapable of stopping the harm done to people, so she didn’t bother herself with those things anymore. Anyway, she was lucky and slightly relieved to be able to keep her soul for a while and to have self-control.

Zhang Yunyan knew that there was not much time left for her. She could only maintain control of her body before it turned dark, so she must hurry up and escape with her life.

After this short period of time, her whole body would belong to Black Killer. She would be bullied ruthlessly and she would be used for hard labor with those elves until she died without a single complaint.

It was so horrible to imagine such an end. She was of extreme anxiety and desperation.

Zhang Yunyan stared at the callous cave with a silent prayer and wished that the Black Killer went to a distant place without coming back tonight, so that she would have more time to think hard about how to escape.

She was very sad, she had been firmly bound, unable to set herself free, and no one would come here to save her either. So what could she do in such a short time?

Reality was ruthless and she could only stay here, pray and daydream.

Definitely, facing the terrible Black Killer and the ‘unprecedented and unique’ treasure, Zhang Yunyan had no ability to get out of this predicament, no chance to survive, and had no ability to protect her own soul.

She was helpless and desperate. She could do nothing but wait for Black Killer’s return, then lose her soul to become a plaything, and end up dead.

Even if Yunyan could get rid of the ropes, it was still impossible for her to escape because of the Wind Demon and Tortoise Demon guarding the entrance.

These two ‘walking dead’ were loyal to their duties and their abilities far exceeded Yunyan’s. She was incapable of getting through this so she was destined to be trapped in the Black Tiger Hole with the child.

Reality was too cruel. It was as devilishly hard to change this situation.

She was trapped in a desperate situation, but Zhang Yunyan didn’t give up yet. She must seek a way to escape while she still had her soul.

For her own survival as well as the child’s survival, she must struggle to escape. Besides, none of her life vows had been completed, and the mission given by the relatives of the Zhang and Lin Families didn’t allow her to die. She must live.

Zhang Yunyan knew she had a very short but extremely precious time left. She was supposed to hurry up and find a chance to survive, wasting no time.

She racked her brains and decided to make her final effort to escape from this danger before dark. Otherwise, there was no chance of survival at all and she was sure to die with the child after Black Killer came back.

She was in a desperate situation and was faced with death, with only a short time left for her and the child. No one knew whether she could do it or not.

Zhang Yunyan was a heroine of headstrong character, possessing courage, tenacity, and fighting spirit. All the difficulties she had suffered had formed her tenacious personality and forged her unyielding mind.

Although she was in mortal danger, she didn’t give up but instead thought hard about how to change the current situation and longed to escape from the horrible disaster with the child.

Reality was too cruel. Zhang Yunyan’s hands and feet were tied and unable to move. There were two scary demons as guards. It was devilishly difficult for her to break through the guards and escape from the cave.

This dark and silent Black Tiger Hole was enveloped in a ghostly and horrible atmosphere, leaving a chill.

At this moment, the situation was extremely serious. Everything was so callous and full of endless pain and anxiety that she was terrified.

Except for her and the girl, not even a tiny insect lived here. It was an utter wasteland without a doubt.

Zhang Yunyan stared at the dark cave with sadness in her heart. She would never let her soul get taken away by the Black Killer, never let herself get bullied by demons, and never wait for death here.

Moreover, there was a poor child with her and there were her unfinished vows, so she must live.

However, the reality was terrible. Zhang Yunyan had no ability to escape and she failed to change the situation in the face of reality. It would be an idiotic dream to escape from the Black Tiger Hole guarded by the Tortoise Demon and Wind Demon.

She was eager to escape but her wonderful wish was unrealistic as a fable because her road to survival had already been ruthlessly blocked. It was extremely difficult to survive in this condition.

In spite of this situation, the heroine didn’t give up. As long as she was still alive, she would rack her brain to find a way to escape from the horrible ‘hell’ before it turned dark.

Otherwise, Yunyan’s dream would be shattered, which meant that she would not only die here, but also be ravaged ruthlessly. She would die with great sadness and misery.

Once her soul was lost, it was equivalent to death. She would never realize her lifetime vows and would never fight for her mission and ambition in this life.

Looking at the child beside her, Zhang Yunyan felt grieved that the little child would be killed by the demon. What a pity!

She was very anxious and sorrowful. She must escape for the sake of the child, and would never let this young life get killed by the Black Killer.

The boy was terrified and had a blank stare. No one knew what he was staring at and maybe he meant to stare at nothing.

At this time, he stopped crying. Maybe he was tired or his little mind was comforted temporarily because he got some support when he stayed with Zhang Yunyan.

Zhang Yunyan sighed and asked, “Little boy, what’s your name and how old are you?”

The child looked at her and said timidly, “My name is Iron Egg. I’m five years old. Aunt, I’m afraid…”

“Iron Egg, don’t be afraid. Aunt is with you and I will protect you.” She comforted him, trying to make his innocent mind less afraid.

Yunyan found that the child was staring at her, his frightened eyes full of longing. As if his eyes were piercing her soul, which hurt her.

She must face up to the reality that she had no ability to protect the child, no ability to take the child escape from here, and Iron Egg would eventually die in the hands of Black Killer.
