Trapped

He was severely injured and unable to move, only his arm trembling slightly.

With a flip of his hand, he took out a Blood Bodhi. As Tian Ling'er had said, the Blood Bodhi was a healing medicine and should be able to alleviate his injuries.

With great difficulty, he tossed the Blood Bodhi into his mouth.

He swallowed it gently. As expected, the Blood Bodhi transformed into a massive surge of fiery energy that quickly filled his entire body. Now, at the Innate Fourth Stage, he could naturally withstand the energy of the Blood Bodhi. Once he could resist it, he felt that this fiery energy was not so violent; it seemed to be constantly nourishing his body.

In just one hour, his body had recovered significantly. His sunken chest had completely returned to normal, only Tian Ling'er was still sleeping soundly on his chest.

With a wry smile, Zhong Shan gently sat up and adjusted Tian Ling'er. Tian Ling'er's clothes were disheveled, her bra loosened, and her two snow-white mounds bounced playfully in the air.

Zhong Shan shook his head and gently covered her up to prevent Tian Ling'er from being embarrassed when she woke up later.

However, during this process of covering her, his fingers inevitably touched her, causing Zhong Shan's old face to involuntarily turn red.

Finally, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he finished tidying Tian Ling'er's clothes. Only then did he look at himself.

His clothes had been torn to shreds by Tian Ling'er.

He shook his head. Zhong Shan leaned Tian Ling'er against a large rock, lying on her back.

He gently got up, tore off his clothes, and threw them into the Magma Pool. Naked, he took out another set of clothes from his Storage Bracelet and slowly put them on.

Tian Ling'er hadn't woken up before, but when Zhong Shan leaned her against the large rock, she woke up groggily, as if she had had a dream, a very embarrassing dream. Tian Ling'er dreamed that she had taken off her clothes, then stripped Zhong Shan naked, and then hugged and kissed Zhong Shan.

When Tian Ling'er woke up, her face was flushed. How could I have such a dream? What happened before? Suddenly, Tian Ling'er seemed to remember something.

She remembered that before, Zhong Shan had hit the wall and was injured, and then she had pounced on him. Not only did she not save him, but she seemed to have torn off his clothes, and her own clothes, and even kissed Zhong Shan's chest. Thinking of this, Tian Ling'er was completely stunned.

No, no, how could I do such a thing? It must be a dream, yes, it's a dream, it must be a dream.

Tian Ling'er kept hypnotizing herself.

While she was constantly hypnotizing herself, suddenly, Tian Ling'er heard a strange sound.

"Tear~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

It sounded like clothes being torn. Tear, tear, tear.

A series of sounds finally made Tian Ling'er open her eyes and look curiously in the direction of the sound.

Looking over, she just happened to see Zhong Shan with his back to her, naked, throwing the clothes he had just torn off into the Magma Pool.

Seeing this scene, Tian Ling'er was instantly dumbfounded. Her small mouth opened, and she almost cried out. Then she closed her eyes tightly.

Didn't see it, didn't see it, I didn't see anything. Tian Ling'er kept shouting to herself in her heart.

But, when she heard the rustling sound of Zhong Shan putting on his clothes from the front, Tian Ling'er, for some unknown reason, even she didn't know why, opened her eyes and squinted a slit. She looked at Zhong Shan's body not far away.

Zhong Shan's body is so good-looking! A sentence involuntarily popped into Tian Ling'er's mind.

Thinking about it again, Tian Ling'er's face burned, and she quickly closed her eyes. How could this be? Can't look, can't look. Tian Ling'er closed her eyes tightly.

Zhong Shan quickly put on his clothes and turned around, just in time to see Tian Ling'er's tightly closed eyes. Zhong Shan was speechless. Her eyes were closed so tightly that wrinkles appeared. Didn't she know he was awake?

"When did you wake up?" Zhong Shan asked.

"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything." Tian Ling'er immediately said.

Looking at Tian Ling'er, Zhong Shan was speechless again, his heart filled with a strange feeling. Thinking of Tian Ling'er's rogue-like behavior from before, Zhong Shan could only shake his head helplessly.

"Alright, I know, you didn't see anything."

Slowly opening her eyes and seeing Zhong Shan's smile, Tian Ling'er immediately said, "I didn't see anything."

However, her tone was much weaker.

"Okay, my injuries aren't fully healed yet. I'll rest for a bit. You should change your clothes," Zhong Shan said.

After speaking, Zhong Shan found a corner and sat down cross-legged.

It was then that the confused Tian Ling'er realized her clothes were also very revealing.

"Ah, how did this happen?" Tian Ling'er exclaimed in fright.

"It got worn on the ground during the fight just now," Zhong Shan said, then closed his eyes to rest.

Should I say you tore them yourself? Zhong Shan certainly wouldn't say that.

Tian Ling'er didn't look for the Old Man anymore. She quickly found a corner, avoiding Zhong Shan's gaze, took out a set of clothes, and changed.

Zhong Shan rested again. After half an hour, Zhong Shan woke up. He was still a bit sore, but he was much better. Opening his eyes, he happened to see Tian Ling'er looking anxious.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Shan asked, getting up.

"Zhong Shan, what happened when I was unconscious? Where's that old guy? Also, our last exit is gone. This cave is completely sealed. What should we do?" Tian Ling'er asked worriedly.

"That old guy? He accidentally jumped into the magma pool and died," Zhong Shan said with a hint of speechlessness. Yes, that Old Man's death was truly frustrating. Fell into the magma pool? Even the current Zhong Shan couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat for him.

Fell down? Tian Ling'er immediately looked towards the magma pool.

Zhong Shan also came over to look. Upon seeing it, Zhong Shan's eyes suddenly lit up. What was that?

The Old Man had fallen in and was deader than dead. He was gone, not even a bone remained. Even with his immense cultivation, under the confusion, he didn't take any precautions. Falling into the magma pool, wouldn't he melt into slag?

However, in the magma pool where the Old Man had fallen, a piece of paper was floating at this moment.

A piece of paper? Could that thing survive in magma without being destroyed?

Tian Ling'er flipped her hand and, with a pull from a distance, the piece of paper, along with a ball of magma, rushed onto the shore.

It landed at Zhong Shan's feet, splashing a large amount of magma.

After the magma dried, Zhong Shan dared to gently pick it up. Tian Ling'er also leaned over to look. On the piece of paper made of special material, there were some tiny characters written.

Fourth Grade Pill Recipe: Berserk Pill.

This was the line at the very top. Following that were a large number of medicinal ingredients and the refining method.

"Fourth Grade Pill?" Tian Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"What kind of paper is this? It's not damaged in magma. A Fourth Grade Pill recipe, although rare, isn't this outrageous. I think the preciousness of this paper surpasses this pill recipe. It's truly extravagant," Tian Ling'er said, shaking her head and commenting continuously.

Looking at Tian Ling'er's appearance, Zhong Shan found it amusing. He gently flipped his hand and put it away.

A Fourth Grade Pill recipe, using such good paper, perhaps it had unexpected effects.

As for Tian Ling'er, seeing Zhong Shan put away the pill formula, she didn't say much. She just spat towards the magma pool a few times, still holding a grudge against the Old Man.

"Zhong Shan, how do we get out? The cave collapsed, we can't get out." Tian Ling'er's anxiety returned.

Zhong Shan walked over to look and indeed, the cave had completely collapsed. They couldn't get out. At a depth of over a thousand meters, even walking at an incline meant a distance of several thousand meters. Zhong Shan was speechless.

Now, returning the way they came was clearly impossible.

What to do? Zhong Shan looked around. There were no other exits, only a passage directly above the magma pool, leading to the crater.

Zhong Shan looked up.

A thousand meters, no, three thousand meters. From this opening upwards, it was at least three thousand meters, and the walls were incredibly smooth and hard. How could they get up like this?

The bottom was completely blocked. There was only this one three-thousand-meter-long vertical passage.

"Ling'er, where's your Red Silk? Can it carry you?" Zhong Shan asked.

"The Red Silk is broken. It needs to be repaired. It will take at least two months. After two months, it can only carry me alone, but can we last two months?" Tian Ling'er said with a troubled expression.

Looking at Tian Ling'er, Zhong Shan felt helpless. He quickly checked his food, then checked Ling'er's food and water. Finally, he could only come to a helpless conclusion: one month, at most one month. The food and water would only last a month, but Tian Ling'er needed two months to get out.

What to do?

"Right, did your father give you anything for self-rescue?" Zhong Shan asked with a frown.

"There are powerful treasures, like the Jade Talisman from that day, but nothing to carry me to fly. I can't fly out. What should we do? Zhong Shan, are we going to die here?" Tian Ling'er immediately said anxiously.

"Let me think, let me think." Zhong Shan frowned, deep in thought. What to do?

They couldn't fly up. Fly? A hot air balloon? Make a hot air balloon? Forget it. Although the temperature here was very high and hot air rises, how could they make a hot air balloon in time now? And he didn't know how to make one. Moreover, with the cave blocked earlier, the air inside was getting thinner and thinner. Even with a hot air balloon, they couldn't fly up.

Hot? Thin air?

Thinking of this, Zhong Shan's eyes suddenly lit up. A bold idea suddenly surged into his mind.

"Zhong Shan, you have a way?" Tian Ling'er now seemed to have a blind admiration for Zhong Shan. As Zhong Shan's expression changed, she immediately became excited and quickly asked.

"Wait a moment, let me think." Zhong Shan, with an excited mood, thought about that crazy idea in his mind over and over again.

"Okay," Tian Ling'er immediately nodded in response, watching patiently and excitedly.

Finally, after repeated deliberation, Zhong Shan confirmed that it was feasible. He let out a long sigh of relief.

"How is it?" Tian Ling'er immediately pressed.

"My injuries haven't fully healed. Tomorrow, I'll take you out," Zhong Shan said with a smile, keeping her in suspense.
