Strangely, this secret passageway was completely dark and occasional strange noises came from deep underground that sounded like a muffled roar. If one were to walk alone, they would get goosebumps.
Nangong Yu took out crystal to illuminate the passage and held He Xi's hand as they walked cautiously.
The deeper they walked, the more pronounced the noise was accompanying a disgusting, rancid smell.
They traveled the path for a long time before they entered a clearing.
He Xi was about to take out a crystal to illuminate the environment when she heard breathing quickly approaching her.
Purple Abyss Vine flew out at once and tangled itself with the figure closing in on her.
But Nangong Yu's actions were faster than hers as his Celestial Silk had already entangled the figure.
He stretched his hand out and pulled He Xi into his arms. The flying sword in his hand rushed to stab the figure that attacked He Xi.
"Wait!" He Xi quickly blocked Nangong Yu's actions.
The information sent from Purple Abyss Vine told her this mysterious figure was a person.
And no killing intentions were coming from the person, nor was it threatening them.
He Xi quickly took out more crystals to illuminate the room.
However, when she saw the scene in front of her, her breathing stopped momentarily.
They were in a cave about a dozen square meters in size, and a nauseous odor permeated the air from a wooden barrel in the corner of the cave; a barrel of excrement.
The cave ground was also not clean, littered with dust, blood, and food scraps.
The food was already spoiled after many days, emitting a disgusting smell and attracting many insects.
What shocked He Xi most the person who attacked her.
Judging by the bone structure and body type, he should be a young boy.
The teenager was lying naked on the ground in all fours, like an animal.
His body was covered with mud, leftover food, and even smelly excrement.
A few bugs climbed up and down his naked body, nibbling on his skin, but he didn't even notice.
The young man's face was covered with an iron helmet, covering his head completely, only showing two eyes.
Those eyes staring at her at this moment, emitted a purple glow.
That's right. It was a pair of completely purple eyes. It was almost the exact same purple shown in her eyes when she was emotional.
However, the pair of phoenix eyes similar to hers showed a dull expression.
He was like an obedient, domesticated beast, but also like the walking dead, without any self-awareness.
While He Xi looked into the pair of purple eyes, her heart flickered slightly. This person gave her an inexplicable feeling of suppressed heartache.
She stepped forward and slowly approached the teenager.
When the teenager saw her moving closer, as if frightened, he desperately wanted to retreat.
However, he was bound by Purple Abyss Vine and Celestial Silk, unable to move at all.
So there was fear in those purple eyes.
He Xi made a move, and Purple Abyss Vine returned to her. Nangong Yu saw this and also withdrew his silk.
As soon as the boy was free, he quickly fled back to the corner, curling into a ball with his hands and feet on the ground.
