The relieved Hu Liena felt a burst of ease, but immediately tensed up again, turning her head to scan the surroundings.
"Where's that big snake?"
"I don't know. I chopped it into more than six inner cores in the end. Maybe it's hiding."
"Then shall we leave now while we have the chance?"
"Let's go. It would be troublesome if that snake appeared again."
A'Dai got up, dusted off his body, and decided to leave this place. Hu Liena had no objection. The two walked one after the other towards the narrow path ahead.
Gradually, the temperature around them decreased, and the distance between them and the lava grew farther and farther. The maddening heat around them slowly dissipated.
"Looks like we're almost at the exit."
"Yeah, we've been in here for a whole day after all. It's not surprising that we're reaching the end."
The two chatted as they walked, not stopping their pace. Slowly, a light different from the lava under their feet appeared not far above.
"A'Dai, look there."
Hearing this, A'Dai looked up in the direction Hu Liena was pointing. He saw an opening hanging on the stone wall at the end of the path.
"It's the exit. We're finally getting out."
For two years, the two in Slaughter City had been keeping their nerves on edge. At this moment, seeing the light again, a sense of relief welled up in their hearts. Crossing the stone wall, they could return to their normal lives.
But danger often strikes at the moment when people are most relaxed. Just as the two were delighted to be escaping their cage, a shrill roar suddenly rang out behind them, making them freeze, feeling as if all the blood in their bodies had stopped flowing.
No need for a reminder, the two quickly jumped into the air on instinct. The next second, a huge blood red figure swept past where they had just been standing, making them feel the hurricane scraping their cheeks.
"Another bat? Will this ever end?"
Seeing the monster that attacked them, Hu Liena immediately complained. Unlike the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat they had encountered before, the one in front of them was even larger, and its entire body was blood red with nine heads. Just one look was enough to tell how powerful it was.
Missing its attack, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat roared angrily, its eyes ferocious as it stared at the two prey in front of it.
"What do we do? Same old plan? You attack head-on, and I flank from the side?"
"I don't think so. How about we feint an attack and then find a chance to leave here?"
Hearing A'Dai's suggestion, Hu Liena's eyes lit up. That's right, the exit was right in front of them. Why fight this monster to the death?
"Okay, but that opening is a bit too high, even if my tail stretches to its longest, I probably won't be able to reach it."
Hearing this, A'Dai's expression froze. He had really overlooked this problem. He then looked back and forth between the opening and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat in front of him, thinking about a solution.
After a while, A'Dai turned back to look at the Little Fox.
"If we use this monster as a springboard, do you think you can reach the opening?"
"Hmm?"
Hu Liena looked at the bat's flying height and the distance to the opening, then nodded excitedly.
"If it stays at this height, plus the distance we jump, it should be possible."
"That's good. Get on my back."
"What do you want to do? Don't tell me you're going to use me as a sacrifice again."
Hu Liena subconsciously took a step back, showing a 'once bitten, twice shy' attitude, which left A'Dai feeling quite helpless.
"Please, we still need to rely on your tail to get out of here. If anyone's going to be a sacrifice, it'll be me."
"True, so what do you want to do?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get on. You'll know when the time comes."
Hearing A'Dai say this, Hu Liena gave up on trying to get to the bottom of things and decisively climbed onto his back.
Seeing the Little Fox in position, A'Dai once again released his Spirit and activated his Self-Created Spirit Ability.
"Netherword Art - Nether King's Flash, Heaven and Earth Tremble."
"Whoosh."
The two disappeared from the spot at a speed indiscernible to the naked eye. The next moment, A'Dai, carrying the Little Fox, had arrived at the back of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat's neck.
"Seize the opportunity, here you go."
Having reached a suitable position, A'Dai directly shook Hu Liena, who still didn't understand what was happening, off his back. Then, he grabbed her fox tail again and threw her towards the hole above.
Hu Liena was just about to ask what to do next when she felt a pain in her tail, followed by a strong sense of weightlessness. She felt herself constantly approaching the passage above.
At this point, the Little Fox understood A'Dai's intention. She quickly extended her fox tail and hooked it onto a protruding stone pillar next to the hole, then quickly pulled herself to the hole. The sunlight from the outside shone on her beautiful face, making Hu Liena feel as if she had been reborn.
"Stop spacing out, catch me!"
A'Dai's voice woke Hu Liena from her daze. Looking back, she saw that he had used the Blood Red Bat as a springboard, circulating all his Soul Power and jumping towards the hole.
But relying solely on leg strength was clearly not enough to reach the hole. A'Dai's body lost momentum about a hundred meters away from the hole and began to fall. Fortunately, Hu Liena reacted quickly, extending her fox tail to firmly bind him, and then quickly exerted force to pull him up.
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat, feeling like it had been played, was not willing to give up. It turned around and attacked A'Dai in the air at a terrifying speed.
A'Dai, with his back to the Nine-Headed Bat, couldn't see any of this, but Hu Liena, positioned above the hole, had a clear view of everything. She couldn't help but increase the pulling force of her fox tail. Due to the tension, dense beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Ya!"
With the Little Fox exerting all her strength, she finally pulled A'Dai out of the cave just before the Blood Red Bat's sharp teeth were about to touch him. Due to inertia, the two rolled straight out of the cave, while behind them came the huge sound of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat crashing into the cliff.
"Huff... Huff..."
Having experienced a thrilling escape, both of them temporarily lost the strength to stand up, lying on their backs on the ground, greedily breathing in the outside air.
Then, they turned their heads to look at each other, both seeing the relief in each other's eyes.
"Ha, finally out. I want to go home, back to Spirit Hall."
"I miss Nian Bing and the others too. I want to go back to the Sect."
Just as the two were pouring out their homesickness to each other, a burst of violent killing intent surged into their minds. Accompanied by blood-red eyes, Hu Liena directly showed signs of going berserk. A circle of light blue domain unfolded from under her feet, and the violent killing intent materialized at this moment.
Although A'Dai also felt the killing intent in his mind trying to devour his consciousness, he could still control it. He mustered his last bit of strength to take out a Soul Cleansing Pill from his pocket and put it in his mouth. As the Pills melted into medicinal power and entered his abdomen, the violent killing intent receded like a tide, and the light blue domain gradually withdrew into his body.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Hu Liena next to him suddenly extended her fox tail and stabbed it fiercely at him, her red lips slightly parted, roaring something. A'Dai could only hear the word "kill" clearly.
