"No way! You even managed to get a flying demonic pet," Meng Xingyu said, quite tempted.
However, he still remembered what Yan Xiao had said before. Just getting a demonic pet was already dangerous enough, and a flying one would probably be even more perilous. So even though he really wanted one, he didn't say a word.
"Once we reach the Central Region, if I find a suitable one, I'll try to tame it and let you guys form a contract with it," Feng Yuqin said.
"Okay. I'll go to the Central Region with you, along with Yan Geng," Yan Xiao said, having already made a decision in his heart. From then on, no matter what, he would protect her well.
"Count me in," Meng Xingyu said.
"And me. After we go back, I'll tell Elder Zhao that I'll follow you from now on," Nightingale said with a smile. "After all, I can get a demonic pet by following you. Just thinking about it makes me so excited."
Nightingale decided to follow Feng Yuqin just for a demonic pet.
This left Feng Yuqin quite helpless.
"Master, we're almost at the bottom of the cliff," Xiaojin said.
"Is there any danger?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"Probably a bit, so you guys should all be careful," Xiaojin said.
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin slowly probed downward with her spiritual sense and at the same time told Yan Xiao and the others to be mentally prepared.
However, Feng Yuqin never expected that even though she told Yan Xiao and the others to be extra careful, when they were approaching the bottom of the cliff, a powerful suction force directly took control of them.
By the time Feng Yuqin noticed something was wrong, it was already too late.
"Aqin, be careful!" Yan Xiao noticed something was amiss and tried to struggle, but found himself being pulled by that suction force.
Meng Xingyu and the others felt the same way. They were in an even worse situation. They hardly had time to say a word before being immediately sucked into the white light.
"Eldest cousin..." Feng Yuqin wanted to use her spatial domain to cover them, but found that she couldn't move at all. She could only watch helplessly as Yan Xiao and the others disappeared from her sight.
"Eldest cousin, Second cousin, Meng Xingyu, Nightingale..." Feng Yuqin called out their names. For the first time, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
If it weren't for her, these people wouldn't have come to this trial ground, let alone fallen into this cliff.
Xiaoying was also panicked.
Because along the way, she could tell that the master really regarded these people as part of those she needed to protect.
As the master's spiritual pet, she had failed to protect Yan Xiao and the others well.
When Feng Yuqin could move again, she started looking for that white light continuously, hoping to find some traces of Yan Xiao and the others.
But no matter how hard she looked, the white light had already disappeared.
She landed steadily at the bottom of the cliff. When her feet touched the ground, she started frantically searching for any place around her that might give her a chance.
However, she found nothing.
"Master, I can't sense them anymore," Xiaojin said. When the incident happened, he, like Feng Yuqin, had used his spatial domain. But that force was too fast. He was also helpless and could only watch Yan Xiao and the others disappear from his sight, just like Feng Yuqin.
"Will they... die?" Feng Yuqin asked. Her voice trembled slightly when she opened her mouth.
It didn't matter if something happened to her, but she didn't want anything to happen to her cousins and the others.
Both Xiaojin and Xiaoying didn't know, but they didn't dare to say anything that would make Feng Yuqin collapse. "They... should be okay," they said.
"Master, you were also sucked into the bottom of the cliff before, and you were fine. That time, Mo Xuanye also came down to look for you, and he was okay too. So Yan Xiao and the others should also be okay," Xiaoying said.
"Yeah, master. They must be somewhere at the bottom of this cliff. Maybe they'll even have some adventures," Xiaojin also comforted her.
Feng Yuqin looked at Xiaojin and asked, "Didn't you say there was something down here attracting you? What is it?"
Xiaojin pointed in a direction. "Over there. Do you want to go and take a look, master?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Let's go and take a look. I've searched all around here. I don't know if that thing you mentioned has anything to do with my cousins' disappearance."
At present, the only thing she could think of was that thing that attracted Xiaojin.
Almost all around were rock walls. Feng Yuqin and her two spiritual pets walked in the direction Xiaojin had pointed.
That narrow passage would have been difficult to pass through if it weren't for Xiaoying.
Because after passing through the narrow corridor, there was a fault in the middle, and then they could reach the other side.
Xiaoying carried Feng Yuqin and Xiaojin and flew over.
From the middle distance, Feng Yuqin saw a misty place below.
She pointed below and asked Xiaoying, "Can you fly down there?"
"I'll try," Xiaoying said. She knew that Feng Yuqin wanted to go down and see if Yan Xiao and the others were there.
However, after Xiaoying flew down a certain distance, an obstructive barrier prevented her from going any further.
"Master, I can't go any further," Xiaoying said.
"Can't go down?" Feng Yuqin frowned. She released her spiritual sense and slowly probed, but her spiritual sense couldn't detect anything either. She then looked up in the direction that attracted Xiaojin.
"Could it be that I really have to find that thing?" Feng Yuqin said.
"At present, it's possible," Xiaojin said.
"Then let's go up first. We should quickly find out what's going on and then go look for my cousins," Feng Yuqin said.
Now she just hoped that Yan Xiao and the others would be okay and wait for her to find them.
...
At the same time, Yan Xiao and the others fell into a lake.
As soon as they fell in, they were attacked by the sea monsters in the water. They fought back desperately and all got injured to some extent before they managed to get to the shore.
As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly.
This was exactly what happened to Yan Xiao and the others.
Just after the four of them got to the shore, they encountered demonic beasts.
After the battle with the sea monsters, the four of them started another battle with the demonic beasts.
The injuries they had just recovered from after taking the pills on Xiaoying's back were torn open again because of the battle with the demonic beasts.
All of them had one belief: to survive and find Feng Yuqin.
With this fighting spirit, the four of them over - performed their strength and managed to defeat all the demonic beasts.
Yan Xiao immediately took out the pills and distributed them to the others. "Fortunately, our cousin is an alchemist. She may not have much of other things, but she has quite a lot of pills."
Meng Xingyu also said, "Yeah. If it weren't for her pills, we might have been done for when we were up there."
"Aqin's pills have an extremely good recovery effect. They're even better than a pill I got from the Central Region before," Nightingale said. "No wonder her business in the Dark Night Pavilion is so good."
"Actually, the pills in the Dark Night Pavilion aren't as effective as the ones she gave us," Yan Xiao said. "Although we don't know what she added to the pills, the recovery effect of the pills she gave us is indeed better."
"I'm going to cling to this powerful alchemist friend for the rest of my life," Nightingale said with a big laugh.
