Yu Xiaoheng frowned as he looked at the dark tree hole.
"What about you?"
"I?"
Rou'er grinned and smiled.
"Your sister Rou'er is so clever, she already had a plan."
She turned around, facing the terrifying aura emanating from the outside world.
The next moment, crimson flames suddenly burst into Rou'er's body.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xiaoheng asked in surprise, looking at the ball of crimson flames.
Or perhaps it was feigned surprise.
Rou'er completely ignored his question.
She reached out and grabbed Yu Xiaoheng's arm, pulling him sharply towards her.
Yu Xiaoheng was already at his last gasp, clinging to life with his last breath. Her tug caused him to lose his balance, staggering forward and nearly falling to the ground.
"Come on!"
Rou'er grabbed him and they ran like mad.
Ahead was a dark cave entrance hidden beneath the tangled, thick tree roots.
This is the secret passage that Xiao Wu opened up back then, as she mentioned.
The entrance was extremely narrow, and the two of them had to bend over and squeeze in.
The passage sloped downwards, surrounded by damp, sticky mud, and filled with the pungent smell of rotting leaves. Occasionally, a few thick tree roots would block the way.
Chapter 481 Yu Xiaoheng: I said, forget it.
Ignoring everything else, Rou'er dragged Yu Xiaoheng and plunged into the dark cave.
The two stumbled and slid down the muddy path into the depths.
As they slid down, sharp rocks and protruding tree roots constantly scraped against their clothes, but Rou'er's grip did not weaken in the slightest.
The further down you go, the weaker the terrifying pressure from the three Title Douluos outside becomes.
The inside of the cave was pitch black.
Only the crimson flames burning on Rou'er's body became the only light in this narrow space.
The firelight cast long shadows of the two men on the uneven mud wall, which swayed constantly with the flickering flames.
"Hehe, Yu Xiaoheng."
Rou'er, who was rushing along with her head down, suddenly chuckled.
Her laughter echoed back and forth in the narrow, secret passage, sounding somewhat empty, yet revealing a forced ease.
"Actually, I noticed it when I was in your family."
Rou'er didn't stop, she held tightly to Yu Xiaoheng's wrist and started talking to herself.
"Many people secretly think I'm stupid and often make fun of me."
As she spoke, she forcefully kicked away a piece of gravel blocking her path, which rolled into the darkness ahead.
“Those elders and disciples always like to make fun of me when they get together.”
“I know everything they say about me behind my back.”
Rou'er's tone rose a few decibels, carrying a hint of pride.
She turned her head and glanced at Yu Xiaoheng by the light of the fire on her body.
"But actually, I'm not stupid at all."
"I saw right through you a long time ago."
The firelight illuminated her profile, making it appear bright red, and her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
"You really are the hope of us soul beasts, aren't you?"
Is that so?
Rou'er's repeated questions were meant to seek confirmation.
But her tone was so certain that she was convinced her deduction was flawless.
"Otherwise, how would you have known about Da Ming and Er Ming that time?"
"How could you, a human, possibly know about the central area of the Star Dou Great Forest, and be so familiar with their identities?"
"What a coincidence!"
"You must have a hidden identity, right!"
Only the chaotic footsteps of the two people and their heavy breathing remained in the secret passage.
Yu Xiaoheng let her pull him forward.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Rou'er took it as his tacit agreement.
She took more determined steps, and her incessant chatter never stopped.
"Then there's really no other way."
Rou'er sighed.
Her tone carried a sense of helplessness, but even more so a resolute determination to go all out.
"You are our hope, how can I let you die here?"
“Those three old guys outside are so powerful, there’s absolutely no way we can escape. If they catch up with you, you’re definitely going to die.”
Rou'er's eyes darted around rapidly, and she suddenly sped up her speech.
"Then you should know, right?"
"That means soul beasts can be sacrificed."
She seemed to have come up with a brilliant idea, her voice brimming with barely concealed excitement.
"This is the ultimate method of our Soul Beast race, handing everything over to you directly."
"Then, once you take my spirit ring, your strength will increase dramatically again."
"Just think about it, how terrifying is the energy of a 100,000-year soul ring? After you absorb it, your injuries will definitely be completely healed, and your soul power will be instantly replenished."
"Moreover, the energy generated when I make a sacrifice will form an absolute barrier."
"This barrier can directly interfere with the strength of those pursuers, trapping them outside. Even titled Douluo can't do anything about this barrier."
"Take advantage of this opportunity to break through, and you'll soon be able to turn the tables on them."
Rou'er paused for a moment, then chuckled twice.
"Hey, then we good brothers will have achieved a direct fusion of martial souls."
“Your soul skills are usually so powerful, capable of instantly killing even a Title Douluo. If you add my power to them…”
"That's definitely more powerful than a soul skill with 100% Martial Soul Fusion!"
She nodded earnestly, vividly describing the scene, as if that day was just around the corner.
"That makes sense."
"After all, you and I are brothers, both of us possess unparalleled martial arts skills and wisdom."
"If we can join forces in this way, we will be invincible!"
Rou'er spoke with great enthusiasm, spouting nonsensical and boastful words.
Yu Xiaoheng listened to her words.
For some reason, he didn't utter a single word.
He felt waves of emptiness coming from inside his body.
I feel a bit exhausted.
His vision began to blur.
He could only move his legs like a puppet, following Rou'er's strength to move forward.
He couldn't give any response.
We walked for a while.
Rou'er noticed that the person behind her was unusually quiet.
She stopped and turned around.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Rou'er looked at Yu Xiaoheng, who was leaning against the mud wall of the secret passage, panting heavily, and immediately started complaining.
"Aren't you usually quite eloquent?"
"Why are you suddenly mute at a time like this?"
"I just said that if we join forces, we're invincible, and you're not even going to react?"
"Isn't that a bit petty of you?"
She put her hands on her hips and glared at Yu Xiaoheng with a dissatisfied look.
The flames flickered.
Yu Xiaoheng looked up, peering through the dim light.
He saw Rou'er's face.
She was still forcing a smile, still complaining that he was "not generous enough".
But her eyes were brimming with tears.
