Chapter 414: Escaping to the Cave with the Beauty
The Water God Pearl within Xiao Yun seemed to have lost its spirit, rumbling ominously. With a series of loud roars and strange, terrifying howls echoing from the depths of the earth, the surrounding space was suddenly engulfed by surging waves of seawater, crashing down like a resurrected ancient beast, opening its massive jaws as if to devour everything in the world.
In an instant, as the tidal wave approached, Xiao Yun let out a long howl. Carrying Long Yan, he soared into the air like a crane, his feet stepping on the towering water columns, leaping above the ocean.
Although Long Yan was never afraid of death, she was still startled by the sudden scene before her.
Looking around, the entire sea surface was stirred up with monstrous waves. Towering water columns shot into the sky, as if they were going to tear apart the stars and moon; trees along the coast swayed violently, many uprooted by the fierce winds, as if the heavens were collapsing.
This sudden change threw those playing on the beach into a state of panic and terror, screams and cries filling the air.
Whoosh—whoosh—
Xiao Yun flew across the sea surface with Long Yan like a great bird.
Splash!
The two finally landed on the beach.
However, the continuously shaking ground made Long Yan unsteady. She let out a yelp and fell into Xiao Yun's arms.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of massive waves surged up from the beach, crashing towards them as if they were about to be swept into the sea.
"Run!" Xiao Yun once again held onto the nearly fainting Long Yan and sprinted towards a grove of trees on a nearby hill.
After a few quick leaps, Xiao Yun finally brought Long Yan to safety.
Standing on the hill and looking out into the distance, Xiao Yun noticed that some of the people playing on the beach under the moonlight had not managed to escape in time. They were swept away by the incoming waves.
Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, thinking, I'm sorry, but I can't be blamed for this. You should blame those malicious people from Island Nation who stole my Heavenly Mechanism Pearl. I was just forced to take it back from the earthquake's mouth.
When someone has ill intentions, there will always be sacrifices.
After a moment, the earthquake and tsunami finally subsided.
The extremely frightened Long Yan peeked out from Xiao Yun's embrace, looked around at the scene, and patted his chest, saying, "Wow, that was really scary!"
Xiao Yun chuckled quietly, surprised that this fearless Long Yan could also be frightened.
At that moment, Long Yan suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Xiao Yun, "Xiao Yun, where is the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl?"
"It's here with me!"
Upon hearing Long Yan's question, Xiao Yun opened his right hand.
In his palm lay a pearl the size of a pigeon egg, red and translucent, radiating a colorful glow under the moonlight.
At the moment Xiao Yun threw the Yin Yang True Fire towards the pillar of the main house, he used a technique to summon the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl into his hand.
"Is this the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl?" Long Yan attempted to touch the pearl.
Xiao Yun quickly warned, "Don't touch it!"
Long Yan was startled, "What's wrong?"
"You can't touch it!" Just as Xiao Yun finished speaking, the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl began to spin automatically in his palm.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pearl spun faster and faster, its colors becoming more vibrant. Xiao Yun was completely enveloped in this brilliant light.
Long Yan stared blankly, "Xiao Yun, this Heavenly Mechanism Pearl..."
Xiao Yun smiled, "This Heavenly Mechanism Pearl is mine!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the pearl disappeared from his palm.
Or rather, it merged into his body.
"What... how could this happen?" Long Yan was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yun grabbed her hand and said, "Yan'er, we need to hurry back to the inn, get our things and leave here. I'll explain everything later!"
"Xiao Yun..."
"Let's go!"
In fact, Xiao Yun had nothing of his own; all his belongings were stored in the Storage Ring.
On the other hand, Long Yan had a large suitcase filled with her change of clothes and some other items.
The two arrived in the town, where the streets were in chaos. Adults and children, men and women were crowded together, nervously discussing something.
There were even quite a few men and women who were naked, likely having gone to bed during the earthquake without putting on any clothes. In any case, the atmosphere was one of panic.
Japan is an island nation prone to earthquakes, and to be honest, they have long been accustomed to ordinary tremors.
However, tonight's earthquake was accompanied by a tsunami, and especially the strange shrill sound coming from beneath the ground was truly eerie, making it hard for them not to be afraid.
It felt as if the apocalypse was upon them; their anxiety prevented them from daring to go back inside.
Xiao Yun held Long Yan's hand, navigating through the chaotic crowd until they quickly reached the inn, where they retrieved their luggage and left.
Long Yan struggled with her heavy suitcase, making her movements somewhat cumbersome. Xiao Yun glanced at her and said, "Let me take care of your suitcase!"
He took the suitcase from her hands and casually tossed it into his Storage Ring.
"This..." Long Yan was momentarily stunned.
How did the suitcase disappear from his hands in the blink of an eye?
"Did you throw it away?" But she didn't see.
There were still some very important things in that suitcase that couldn't be lost.
"Xiao Yun..." Long Yan exclaimed.
Before she could finish, Xiao Yun already knew what she wanted to ask.
He reached out his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, your suitcase is in this ring of mine, it won't be lost."
Long Yan looked at the ring on his hand; it appeared to be an ordinary ring. She could hardly believe that her suitcase could be inside such a small ring.
He couldn't be joking, could he?
"Yan'er, don't underestimate this ring. It can store a lot of things; it's capable of holding the contents of more than a dozen large trucks without any problem." Since Long Yan was already his woman, Xiao Yun didn't mind revealing the secret of the Storage Ring to her.
Although her heart wasn't fully with him yet, it was only a matter of time.
Long Yan was taken aback by his words, recalling how Xiao Yun had magically pulled out Writing Tools when treating his daughter in the Winter Melon Lazy Family. She couldn't help but believe him now.
Looking at Xiao Yun again, she sighed inwardly; he truly was an incredible oddity.
If the Dragon Team really wanted to eliminate this person, could they do it?
However, this thought only flashed through her mind before she dismissed any further contemplation.
"Where are we going now?" This was the real question she wanted to ask.
Xiao Yun pointed to a small solitary mountain to the east of the town and said, "Let's temporarily go up that mountain. There is a cave there where we can spend the night."
Long Yan followed his finger and indeed saw a mountain standing alone in the distance. At the foot of the mountain, among the trees, there were a few scattered houses, their lights flickering in the swaying forest, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
How could he be sure there was a cave for resting on that mountain from such a distance?
Could he have eyes that could see a thousand miles away?
Long Yan asked, "Why do we need to stay in a cave?"
"We can only rest in that cave for now; it will be safer there!" Xiao Yun replied with a smile.
He told her that within half an hour, a group of people might appear on this Island Nation to search for them.
Perhaps these people had already begun their actions in the small town.
