Outside of the seal formation, Lan Xueruo waited anxiously. An hour has passed... Two hours passed... Twelve hours passed... All day and night passed... His expression had long since darkened. The inside of Feng Baichuan's heart also became silent.
"Are people going to die in this training?" Looking at Feng Baichuan who had walked there again, Lan Xueruo turned her head to the side and asked with lifeless eyes. He had already asked this same question over a dozen times.
Feng Baichuan sighed deeply in his heart and could only try his best to console him: “Some clan members have indeed died in this trial. But.we must not be pessimistic like this; it cannot be said for sure but maybe brother Yun passed the training. Our ancestors who passed this test, had stayed inside for over a dozen days before coming out. So.let's wait a minute. Maybe he'll come out anytime now.
While saying this, Feng Baichuan, who had experienced the Phoenix trial firsthand, clearly understood that it was impossible to pass the test with just the first-rate strength of the Nascent Realm. Since Yun Che had yet to come out, the only possible outcome was that he was already dead at the venue. However, right now, he could only use these words to comfort Lan Xueruo, and let her hold a trace of hope.
"Leader of the Feng Clan, do you have a way to allow me to enter?"
Feng Baichuan shook his head: "Only one person can enter the trial grounds every month, I have no way to let you in."
Lan Xueruo bit her lips and did not say a word as she stood before the entrance of the trial, staring blankly ahead; her heart desperately yearned for the appearance of the figure… He had no idea what had happened to him, becoming anxious and worried thus far. Every time he thought about the possibility of her dying at the trial site, his heart would experience pain.
The troops outside by the group of black demons, the Thousand Meter Sound Transmission Amulet consumed, the Giant Snow Eagle was still asleep. However, when Yun Che did not come out all day, his mind was muddled, and could not calm down at all.
Two days passed. Three days passed. Ten days passed…
Yun Che had still not appeared.
So Lan Xueruo could not hold back anymore, and had no choice but to painstakingly accept the fact that Yun Che had died and would never come out.
"Suckers. Half a month had passed and they were still not out! Food is prepared clearly in this cave!”
"What are you worried about! No matter how much food and water they had, there would be times when their resources were depleted. Hmph, let's see how much longer they can last.”
The group of black demons still had not left, because at this point, they were certain that there must be a treasure hidden within. They put two squads of people on guard in turns every day, and never left the cave unattended for even a moment.
Under Feng Baichuan's frugal distribution, only a third of the rations and Yun Che had originally left after half a month. He knitted his brows every day as he fiercely thought of a way to escape. However, in the presence of the absolute pressure power from outside, he was out of his mind and even if he thought until his brain died, all they could do was endure painfully.
Twenty days passed…
Month passed.
The spatial ring from Yun Che to Feng Baichuan had been emptied two days before, and there was not a single grain of food or water droplets left. Adults have low energy levels, which allow them to last longer, whereas parents and children pass out one after another due to the unshakable horror of hunger. Once they lost consciousness, it was impossible to wake them up again.
Feng Baichuan's eyes were extremely sunken and he sat in a corner of the cold cave as he choked on the abyss of helplessness and despair. At this point, he already did not know what he should do next. If they continued to stay here, their entire clan would starve to death; whereas if they left, if they left, the ruthless bandits would kill them all.Maybe they tortured them in every possible way because they did not give up the so-called treasure, which would be a more miserable death.
“You're all inside, listen carefully. You just need to come out obediently, then hand over the treasure and the woman, and we can assure you that we will not touch any of you. Moreover, we will never enter this area for the second time.”
On the verge of despair, the shouts of the group of black Devils became increasingly difficult to resist in everyone's ears. At this moment, an old man staggered and said: “ Clan Leaders, what they said is also true; sooner or later we will all starve to death here. At this point, there was no point in hiding anymore. We'd better go out and give up; maybe they'll do what they say and won't hurt us.
"Get out of the question!" Feng Baichuan shook his head and faintly replied: “You should have felt it before as well, - they all carry varying degrees of hostility towards us in their bodies. This was a group of ruthless bandits who had no regard for human lives. If we go out, we will only die more miserably and even suffer humiliation. Let's wait a little while longer.Miss Xueruo said her contract spirit monster would wake up; when that time comes, we will have hope of being saved. Even if we all end up dying.. I'd rather starve to death than be humiliated to death!”
"Zu'er~~ Xian'er!!!"
As Feng Baichuan finished speaking, Feng Caiyun's heart-rending cry sounded. Feng Baichuan suddenly stood up and jumped in front of his wife, Feng Caiyun. Their faces were pale with a tinge of yellow, and no matter how Feng Caiyun shouted, they did not give any response.
“Zu'er, Xianer..” Blood flowed out from Feng Baichuan's fingertips, and his eyes glazed over. He then raised his hand to slap his head forcefully and nearly fainted from despair.
Lan Xueruo, who was curled up in a corner the entire time, slowly stood up. Perhaps too tired, because the Giant Snow Eagle still had not woken up after a month had passed. At this moment, he knew that if they could not make another plan, they would not be able to last even a day longer.
“Leader of the Feng Clan, can I trouble you for a while to open the seal formation outside? I'll go out and get some food to bring back. ”
Listening to Lan Xueruo's words, Feng Baichuan became stunned before quickly shaking his head: “No! It was too dangerous; with so many people outside, how would you snatch food right under their noses?
Lan Xueruo replied with a determined gaze: “After all, I have the strength of a True Realm. As long as some of their leaders were absent, it couldn't possibly be dangerous for me. Right now, all these children are no longer able to survive. If I still don't go and get food, they might.”.
Feng Baichuan's lips twitched. Looking at Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er who had lost consciousness, he finally nodded his head and said bitterly: "Miss Lan, then you should be careful ... We're all great men here helpless, yet we can only trouble a girl like you to risk your life for us. That..”
“It doesn't need to be like that, Clan Leader Feng. I believe that if Clan Leader Feng has sufficient strength, you will definitely be the first one to come out. Immediately deactivate the seal formation, then immediately activate it again after I come out. As soon as I get the food, I will signal to you through a voice to deactivate the seal formation again.
Even though his plan was accompanied by a very high risk, it seemed that it was the only reasonable temporary solution to free them from their current crisis. Feng Baichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, opened his mouth, dripped his blood onto the seal and said with concern: "You must be careful!"
In Feng Baichuan's voice, the red-colored seal formation lit up before slowly disappearing. With his long sword in hand, Lan Xueruo's body suddenly flew outwards as she left a flash of white ghosts.
