Within the range of sunlight.
The occasional breeze passing through the mountain stream brought with it a hint of warmth. Feng Ge felt as if she had fallen into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cellar.
She leaned against Luo Zheng, her Yang Soul trembling slightly. She gazed into the depths of the mountain stream and said, "Luo Zheng … what was that just now?"
"I don't know what it was," Luo Zheng replied.
"Then … why didn't it take us away?" Feng Ge asked again.
Her usually cold voice trembled slightly. Even when they were in danger on the wooden bridge, Feng Ge had not revealed such emotions. Luo Zheng felt a trace of pity when he heard this. This time, he had really scared this child.
"I don't know either. Maybe it didn't care about us," Luo Zheng said.
In this kind of situation, there was no other choice but to resign themselves to fate. Luo Zheng's state of mind calmed down, but Feng Ge, who had encountered this kind of situation for the first time, was somewhat at a loss.
"Let's leave here," Feng Ge said again. She did not want to stay here for even a moment longer.
"Where are those black monkeys outside? Have they left? "Luo Zheng asked.
Feng Ge sized them up, then shook her head dispiritedly. "They're still guarding there …"
"Then it's settled."
As Luo Zheng spoke, he struggled to get up from the ground.
After a short rest, his strength had recovered slightly. At least he could support himself to sit up.
"You're better?" Feng Ge asked in surprise.
Seeing Luo Zheng collapse, Feng Ge was really out of her wits. Although Luo Zheng struggled to get up, she faintly felt a glimmer of hope.
She looked cold and independent, but deep down, she was extremely dependent on others. It was just that in the Heavenly Palace, it was very difficult for her to show this attitude.
"Can you … help me up?" Luo Zheng said helplessly.
Feng Ge hurriedly went up to help him up.
Luo Zheng turned his head and looked around the mountain stream. Then, he moved to the side of the mountain wall and sat down.
The situation was not as bad as Feng Ge had described. No matter what the monster was, it was good news that it did not attack them.
Those black monkeys were very stubborn and kept guarding outside.
Six to eight hours later, Luo Zheng could feel his surroundings gradually turning dark. The effects of the Fruit of Darkness were beginning to fade away.
Although Luo Zheng had tested the duration of the Fruit of Darkness and found that it could last for 14 hours, the duration of each fruit was both long and short.
To be on the safe side, he asked Feng Ge to take out two fruits, one for each of them to swallow. The originally dark world gradually regained a trace of light.
"How many Fruits of Darkness are left?" Luo Zheng asked.
Feng Ge's spatial ring shimmered with a faint light. She counted and said, "There are 14 more."
"Fourteen …"
According to the longest duration, if he and Feng Ge each took seven, it would only last for 48 hours, which was a little more than four days.
If they could not find the black and white tree in four days, they would be swallowed by the darkness. The final outcome was obvious.
Seeing that the black monkeys were very patient, waiting was not a solution.
Luo Zheng slowly stood up and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
"Go in?" Feng Ge's eyes widened.
Recalling the cold touch of those tentacles, Feng Ge could not help but shiver.
"Staying here is just waiting for death," Luo Zheng said.
Feng Ge wanted to say something, but in the end, she chose to remain silent. Luo Zheng's words made sense. She was not willing to die in the Dark Domain. Perhaps the monster was not as scary as she thought.
Luo Zheng's strength had recovered. It was not a big problem for him to walk normally.
The two walked into the depths of the mountain stream, one in front and one behind.
The two sides of the mountain stream continued to narrow. Originally, it was only about ten feet wide, but after walking for a while, the width of the mountain stream continued to narrow until it was only one or two feet wide. It was practically a stone crevice. Luo Zheng and Feng Ge could only walk sideways.
After passing through the narrow stone crevice for a few miles, the road ahead suddenly opened up. The two of them looked around and their faces were filled with surprise.
The mountain walls on both sides of the stone crack had been chiseled and carved with all kinds of murals. If one looked carefully, these murals were actually huge Sanskrit characters!
Looking at the Sanskrit characters, there was a triangular cave in the mountain wall. Black tentacles extended from the cave and hung on the ground from above.
"Those tentacles …" Feng Ge was shocked when she saw the tentacles.
"Hua hua hua …"
Feng Ge's movement attracted the tentacles' attention.
All the tentacles quickly danced and rushed toward Feng Ge and Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng grabbed Feng Ge and covered her mouth. At the same time, the two of them crawled on the ground.
The tentacles swept over their heads and kept sweeping the space around them. A few tentacles kept probing Feng Ge and Luo Zheng. In the end, they found nothing and slowly retracted back into the triangular cave.
If Feng Ge entered the Nirvana Realm with her physical body, she would have goosebumps under the tentacles' probing.
However, she seemed to have understood a little now. Her eyes were bright and she wanted to tell Luo Zheng what she had observed. However, Luo Zheng made a shushing gesture, indicating that he knew very well.
These tentacles could not see the two of them.
The black monkey was a creature of the Dark Realm. The tentacles were also creatures of the Dark Realm. They were the same kind of creatures, so the tentacles could detect their existence very keenly.
However, Luo Zheng and Feng Ge came from outside the Dark Realm. Their form was fundamentally different from the creatures of the Dark Realm.
The two of them had swallowed the Fruit of Darkness and could merge into the Dark Realm. However, the energy of the Fruit of Darkness had been absorbed by the two of them, so the energy that escaped was very little.
Perhaps the tentacles had sensed something, but there was no way to confirm it.
Luo Zheng patted Feng Ge's shoulder and encouraged her to continue moving forward. As long as she did not make any noise, they should be safe.
After walking for a while, Luo Zheng found that there was more than one triangular cave.
Every fifty to sixty feet, there would be a triangular cave, from which countless tentacles could be seen hanging down. It was unknown what kind of creature was lying in these caves. From the outside, one could not see anything except for the messy pile of tentacles.
Just as Luo Zheng was carefully observing the mountain wall, Feng Ge pointed ahead.
They had reached the end. It was a circular valley.
The walls of the valley were also engraved with huge Sanskrit characters. The mountain wall was covered with densely packed triangular caves. There were many tentacle monsters stuffed in them.
However, Luo Zheng's gaze was fixed on the center of the valley. The darkness suddenly stopped there!
A soft ray of sunlight pierced through the sky like a sharp sword. The light covered an area of about 10 feet, bathing a tombstone.
