"Are you really not afraid of death?"

The sudden sound brought Miss Xia, who was calmly preparing to accept death, from her sadness to reality.

At first she thought it was auditory hallucination, but the sound rang again.

Miss Xia subconsciously picked up the child, and her beautiful phoenix eyes vigilantly glanced into the drowsy and quiet hole: "Who is talking?"

"You have a royal atmosphere... Are you a royal person?"

The mysterious man's voice sounded hoarse and broken, as if his throat was cracked, which sounded quite uncomfortable.

But it can be heard that the other party is an old woman.

Miss Xia's heart tightened, put the child in Chen Mu's arms, and plucked the courage to walk slowly towards a shadow on the cave wall.

Finally, she saw the person who was talking.

I saw a head embedded in the stone wall in the shadow of the corner!

But if you look closely, you will find that the other party's body has been completely fused into the stone wall, with only one head exposed.

Judging from his face, he was indeed an old woman.

The old woman's face was very deep, with spider patterns on her shriveled cheeks spitting out, and there were only a few strands of weed-like gray hair on her head.

This terrifying look scared the woman.

Miss Xia covered her red lips and took a step back, tremblingly said: "You... are you a human or a demon?"

"I am... just half a man and half a ghost now."

The old woman laughed at herself and smiled bitterly.

She raised her turbid eyes and looked at Miss Xia: "Are you a princess of the royal family? Or a concubine?"

This person could actually tell that she was from the royal family.

Miss Xia was surprised.

It is estimated that the other party has a high level of cultivation, or knows some qi techniques.

But seeing the old woman seemingly being completely trapped here, Miss Xia couldn't help but wonder: "Where is this place? Who trapped you here."

"Who is he you?"

The old woman did not answer, but turned her eyes to the unconscious Chen Mu.

Miss Xia hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It's my friend."

"Friend..." the old woman sneered. "This friend is quite close."

Miss Xia's cheeks turned red, she looked at the group of snakes that were still attacking fiercely outside the hole, and placed her hope for survival on this mysterious old woman: "Senior, can you help us drive away the monsters outside?"

"Help you?"

The old woman sighed quietly. "What can you help me with this?"

The hope that Miss Xia had just ignited was immediately extinguished by cold water.

But she still held the last bit of expectation: "You must have a way. If those snakes rushed in, you wouldn't be alive."

"I...can't ask for it."

The old woman looked indifferent to life and death, and said sarcastically. "I have been trapped here for sixteen years, and it is hard to die. If I can be killed by those monsters today, I will be relieved."

Miss Xia finally gave up now.

She looked at Chen Mu and the child, and her beautiful eyes contained infinite sadness and regret.

Every time I have a little hope, I am always ruthlessly extinguished.

Are they destined to die here?

I looked at the woman's distraught look and said softly: "But you are lucky. According to time, in about an hour, there will be a bright red crow in the sky. You can leave here at that time."

Miss Xia's eyes lit up: "Bright Chiwu? What is this?"

"As soon as the light comes out, it means the end of the night."

The old woman said lightly. "The world of night demon is powerful, but it still has flaws. In order to save his beloved woman, a man was willing to turn into a golden crow to disperse the night, and successfully let his beloved woman escape from the world of night demon.

However, the golden crow can only last less than a quarter of an hour. If you fail to leave, you can only wait for another year."

One year!?

Miss Xia stretched her beautiful eyes and asked hurriedly: "Master, how should I leave the Night Demon World when the golden crow arrives?"

"You can hold the black Buddha's relics in your hand."

"Black Buddha's relics?"

Miss Xia was confused.

The old woman explained: "At that time, a holy monk who wandered and lost souls and ghosts, sat on the night platform in the night demon world and turned into relics. Only in that place can he get relics."

Before Miss Xia asked, the old woman continued, "The Tianyetai is at least two days away."

The woman stood there in a daze.

The bright light rising in his eyes gradually faded.

Several alternations of hope and despair made her mood a little out of control, and she said angrily:

"You are just teasing me! The golden crow of light will arrive in one hour, but the Black Buddha's relics have to go far away to get them. What's the use of this?"

"But I have relics."

“…”

Miss Xia froze on her face with an angry expression, looked at the old woman with a weak expression, and opened her red lips. "You said... do you have a black Buddha relics?"

"right."

A weird smile appeared on the old woman's cheeks covered with wrinkles.

Miss Xia was immediately surprised and lowered her figure and begged: "Please save our lives, I will definitely repay this great kindness."

"Refresh? What are you going to get?"

The old woman sneered. "There are many ruthless people in the world. Now they say they remember their kindness, but it is another face to be truly saved."

Miss Xia said anxiously: "Senior, I--"

"Stop talking! I can't save you!" The old woman interrupted her, her tone extremely firm.

She was deliberately torturing the other person's mentality.

Injecting hope again and again, and strangling it with her own hands, she seemed to enjoy watching others gradually become desperate and helpless.

At this time, cracks appeared on the light outside the cave, and a strong smell of blood had penetrated into the cave.

The poisonous snakes smelled the breath of a stranger and became more violent.

Miss Xia's face was unstable.

She clenched her fists slightly, and countless thoughts turned to her mind.

For example, threaten the other party with a sword, cut off the other party's head and search, and even thought about whether to kneel down and pray for the other party's help.

But after all, I am the empress dowager of a country, so how could I kneel down to others?

But the old woman seemed to see through her thoughts.

"You can try to threaten me, such as cutting my tongue and digging my eyes..."

The old woman's hoarse laughter was even more intoxicating than the sirloin of the poisonous snakes outside the cave, and her tone was faint. "I have been sleepy for sixteen years here, and the pain I suffered is a hundred times more painful than skinning and cramps!"

At the end of the day, the old woman looked ferocious.

Her body, which was embedded in the wall, seemed to be suffering from purgatory, which made people shudder.

"As long as you help me, I will definitely save you!"

Miss Xia said coldly.

The old woman just smiled sarcastically and did not respond.

Miss Xia put her green fingers on her neck and gently pulled off an extremely expensive and high-end disguise mask.

A beautiful and unparalleled face is revealed.

At this moment, it seemed that the entire gloomy cave had become a little brighter, just like a peony blooming in full bloom.

"I am the Queen Mother of Da Yan, whether you believe it or not!"

The woman raised her crystal chin, exuding the aura of a lofty and superior, and her fingers rose to the sky.

"The Ai family swears with the will of Emperor Tiandao that as long as the seniors are willing to help you, the Ai family will send masters to save you after they go out. If they violate this promise, they will be hit by five thunders in the sky!!"

There was a dead silence in the cave.

The old woman who was originally mocking looked at the beautiful and elegant man in front of her, with an incredible expression in her eyes.

After a long time, she suddenly laughed.
