Chapter 210 The Mysterious Man in Black Robes 2
Although Xiao Lanmei's voice was soft, it was like a timely dose of wake-up call, instantly rousing Hua Yeman's chaotic thoughts and strengthening her resolve not to compromise.
She silently said to Little Blue Charm in her heart, "Don't worry, Little Blue Charm, I won't let the dark forces succeed. We will definitely get out of this predicament."
She knew all too well that once she yielded to the darkness, it would be like stepping into an abyss of no return, with no way back.
Amidst her intense inner struggle, Hua Yeman suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a delaying tactic came to mind.
She tried her best to make her tone sound hesitant and helpless, her slightly trembling voice seeming to be telling the mysterious person about her struggle and helplessness:
“I can try, but I need some time to prepare, and I don’t know if I’m really capable of activating it.”
"If I'm not capable enough and the activation fails, please don't blame me."
She tried to convince the mysterious man that she had wavered under his coercion, in order to buy herself more time and opportunities.
A hint of suspicion flashed in the mysterious man's eyes, like that of a cunning fox scrutinizing its prey for a trap.
He scrutinized Hua Yeman from head to toe, his eyes filled with scrutiny, thinking to himself, "Is this girl up to something?"
"But judging from her expression, she doesn't seem to be faking it..." He tried to find a flaw in her expression and tone.
But his craving for the activating Dark Magic Crystal Core still prevailed, and he nodded.
He said coldly, "I'll give you half an hour. If you dare to play any tricks, I guarantee you'll regret it."
"The lives of your sisters are in your hands."
His voice carried an undeniable threat, hissing like a cold, venomous snake.
After receiving permission from the mysterious person, Hua Ye Man took the opportunity to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
She silently plotted in her heart: "I must find a chance to get rid of him; my sisters are waiting for me to save them."
Her gaze, sharp as a hawk's, quickly scanned every corner of the alley. Finally, she spotted an abandoned well at the end of the alley.
The wellhead was surrounded by waist-high weeds, swaying in the breeze as if telling her about the desolation and silence of the place.
The wellhead was covered with a thick layer of moss, so green it was almost black, and it shimmered with an eerie luster in the dim light, making it look exceptionally slippery.
She secretly plotted that if she could find a suitable opportunity, she might be able to use this place to get rid of the mysterious man.
"The wellhead might be a rare opportunity. If we find the right moment to jump down, we might be able to shake him off."
"But what one will encounter after jumping is truly unknown; it might be deeper danger, or it might be endless darkness,"
"But there's no better way now, so we have to take the risk and try."
"For my sisters, for this continent, I have to fight this battle. If he catches me like this, everything will be over."
Time passed by second by second in a tense and oppressive atmosphere, each second feeling as long as an eternity.
Hua Yeman pretended to try to activate the crystal core. She gently waved her hand above the crystal core and muttered incantations, as if she were really performing a mysterious and solemn ritual.
She thought to herself, "I must remain calm and not let him see through my act. I need to wait until he lowers his guard."
But in reality, her mind was entirely focused on finding a good opportunity to escape, and her eyes kept glancing at the mysterious man, observing his every move.
The mysterious man stared intently at her, his eyes revealing anxiety and greed.
His gaze was fixed on Hua Yeman's hand, as if he were waiting for a treasure to be born.
He kept rubbing his hands together, muttering to himself, "Hurry up, activate it... Once it's activated, I can become a hero of the dark forces and enjoy endless riches and glory."
He looked like a miser waiting to open a treasure chest, completely losing his previous calm and composure.
Finally, the vines keenly sensed that the mysterious man's attention had slightly wandered.
He glanced around, seemingly worried that someone might suddenly break in and ruin his plans.
At this critical moment, Hua Yeman did not hesitate to suddenly throw the vine weapon in her hand at the mysterious man.
Like a green lightning bolt, the vines, carrying her anger and determination, quickly wrapped around the mysterious man's legs.
"Let's see how you chase me now!" Hua Yeman shouted, her voice venting her suppressed anger.
Then, without hesitation, she turned around and ran desperately toward the well.
Each step was firm and powerful, as if to trample all fear and pressure underfoot.
She cheered herself up in her heart: "Come on, Huaye Man, you must get rid of him, the girls are still waiting for you!"
The mysterious woman, entangled in the vines and unable to break free, roared angrily, "You little brat, how dare you play me! I won't let you get away with this! Once I catch you, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
His voice echoed through the narrow alley, filled with anger and resentment, like the roar of a wounded beast.
Hua Yeman ran to the well and, without hesitation, jumped in.
The well was pitch black, like an endless abyss that swallowed all light, making one feel as if they were in the beginning of chaos.
During her fall, she constantly adjusted her body posture, trying to land on her feet first to reduce the possibility of injury.
At that moment, she felt both nervous and expectant; her heart was pounding in her chest.
As if his voice was about to burst from his chest: "I hope there's no fatal danger down there. I must get rid of this mysterious person successfully. I still have my sisters to find. I can't fall here."
"I must live, find my sisters, and save this continent. If I die like this, all my efforts will have been in vain."
With a "plop," the vine fell into the well water. The well water was icy cold, like countless ice needles piercing her body instantly, making her shiver involuntarily.
The chill seeped from her skin to her very bones, as if it were freezing her very soul.
But she couldn't care less about any of that; she had only one thought in her mind: to get out of danger as soon as possible.
She quickly adjusted her mindset and, relying on her tenacious will and survival instinct, swam towards the shore.
Every stroke is full of power, every breath is filled with determination.
She silently encouraged herself: "Hang in there, Flower Leaf Vine, you can do it, you will definitely get out of this predicament."
Just then, a mysterious voice came from the well: "You can't escape! This continent is full of spies from the dark forces. I'll find you sooner or later!"
"When that time comes, you and your sisters will not have a good ending!"
After he finished speaking, the sound of angry footsteps walking away could be heard.
The footsteps faded into the distance, yet they seemed to still echo in Hua Yeman's ears, constantly reminding her that the danger was not far away.
Hua Yeman breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew the danger was not over.
"We can't let our guard down; we need to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible."
As she pondered this, she began to grope her way to the bottom of the well. It was pitch black all around, and she could only rely on her hands to feel her surroundings.
Suddenly, she discovered a hidden passage at the bottom of the well. A surge of joy filled her: "Could this be an opportunity given by heaven?"
"No matter what, let's walk along the passage and see if we can find a way out."
