I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

So that...

She squeezed her legs together, her cheeks flushed, and said shyly, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

As she spoke, she staggered into the ruins of a house.

After a while, she came out, but she changed her clothes and returned to her blue fairy dress.

"Auntie Yun has changed her clothes, so I want to change too." As he said that, Zhao Kangping was about to head towards the ruins of the house.

However, Nangong Ruyun stopped him and said anxiously, "No, no, don't go in."

Zhao Kangping was a little confused and asked, "Ah? Why?"

Nangong Ruyun blushed and said, "You can go to other rooms, but not this one."

This made Zhao Kangping feel that Aunt Yun was a little strange today.

Chapter 359: Underwater cave, knee pillow?

Zhao Kangping went to the dock area with Aunt Yun again.

There are now additional city guards stationed here because there is an entrance to the sewer area.

Although the gang members in the sewers have been recruited, most of them have a bad record and therefore need to be supervised.

However, this was only a lie to the general public; the real reason was that a tumorous monster had once appeared in the sewer area. The Holy Land had sent a special person to investigate, and a major role of the city guards was to prevent anyone from approaching.

"Ever since the last sarcoma monster attack, there have been fewer cruise ships on the river." Zhao Kangping accompanied Aunt Yun for a walk on the river bank.

The rise of River City was largely due to the river's water transportation. Some say the number of ships plying the waters reflects the city's economic strength at the time.

Zhao Kangping felt that this was definitely not groundless.

However, Nangong Ruyun didn't care whether there were many ships here.

She kept thinking about what her nephew had just said, that he wanted to take care of her forever.

Women are naturally associative creatures, and at first she thought he was confessing his love to her.

But he didn't take any further action afterwards, which made her feel disappointed after her hopes were dashed.

It was winter now, and the trees along the river were left with only bare branches.

The wind blowing from the water was a bit cold, and Nangong Ruyun didn't like this kind of weather.

But she and Zhao Kangping are going to a place full of memories.

A long, long time ago, she had gone downstream along this river with him and Lan Ruoyu.

Outside the scope of Chuanliu City, the river gradually widens, and occasionally you can see some villages built along the river.

About ten miles outside the city, the river turned a corner and a reed marsh formed at the bend.

And the reed marsh was their destination.

Few people know that there is a secret cave under the reeds, called Jiaolong Cave.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there were dragons causing trouble in the river next to Chuanliu City, and this place was the nest of those evil dragons.

However, the evil dragon was later killed by the ancestors of Chuanliu City, but the cave was preserved.

"Do you think this cave still exists?" Nangong Ruyun hadn't been here for a long time.

"I don't know. Maybe it's still there, or maybe it's not." Zhao Kangping slowly descended from the air and landed on the icy river surface.

In the past, his master taught him the art of formations, and this Jiaolong Cave was where he practiced formations.

But he didn't come here just to study formations at that time.

When he was young, he used this place as a secret base.

When I was young, I would occasionally quarrel with my master and would hide here.

But every time he would be found by his master and beaten up.

After the beating, the master will personally apply medicine to him.

While he was injured, the master asked him to stay here and reflect on himself.

"I'll go down and take a look. If he's still there, I'll send you a message."

After Zhao Kangping finished speaking, he dived into the water. The surface of the water fluttered a few times before returning to calm.

He had already prepared a spell to avoid water, and a layer of air film formed around him to isolate the water from the outside.

The water is very murky, and the visibility decreases the deeper you go.

But this is not a problem, he can release his spiritual sense to investigate.

In fact, he came here once about sixty years ago, in search of his master.

Obviously, he had returned empty-handed that time, but he remembered that the Jiaolong Cave still existed at that time.

The entrance to Jiaolong Cave is underwater, and the river water will continuously bring in mud and sand, so as time goes by, the cave entrance is likely to be filled with silt.

If not dredged regularly, such underwater caves are likely to be clogged by the influx of silt and then disappear completely.

When he was young, he set up a formation in Jiaolong Cave to reinforce the cave to prevent river water and mud from flowing back.

But at that time his formation skills were not very high, and the formation he set up had limited effectiveness.

The last time he came here more than sixty years ago, he did not reinforce the formation, so he was not sure whether the cave still existed.

Following the location in his memory, he soon found a place with a lot of aquatic plants.

His spiritual sense passed through the aquatic plants and he discovered a hidden underwater passage.

This should be the place, but before he went in, he had no idea what it looked like inside.

It didn't take much time to enter, and he was surprised to find that the underwater passage was not blocked.

But another thing made him a little cautious.

Someone else had been inside.

His spiritual consciousness penetrated the river water and entered the depths of the cave.

To his surprise, there was someone inside now.

Could it be that after he abandoned this place, someone transformed it into his own cave?

However, although this underwater cave is not small, it is dark, cold and damp, and is not suitable for long-term living.

But there was someone inside at this time, and there were some daily necessities, including a bed, a wardrobe, a table and chairs, and some spirit stone lamps.

He originally wanted to leave, but he discovered that one of them had a strange aura.

There was something wrong with this aura at first glance, and the opponent's strength didn't seem strong, so maybe he could be defeated.

He originally wanted to bring Aunt Yun here to reminisce about the past, but he ended up making an unexpected discovery.

"Senior Brother Song, I can't stand it anymore. I want to go out." A young man with a sallow complexion said with his hands on his head.

Another tall and strong young man was chewing a skewer of grilled fish. After chewing for a while, he swallowed the fish in his mouth. The young man named Song looked at his companion and said, "Let's wait a little longer. The Holy Land is still pursuing us. If we escape now, we will probably be caught."

"After the storm has died down, we will hide our identities and go to a place where no one can find us."

They were both scions of prominent families in Chuanliu City, though they were from side branches. Because their family had been implicated in a tribute smuggling case, many of the side branches had been dragged out to take the blame, shouldering most of the blame.

Their family abandoned them, and they didn't want to die like this, so they escaped.

One of the two men stumbled upon this underwater cave while on a mission, so he brought his companion here, and together they transformed it into a temporary residence.

During the period of hiding, they were not completely cut off from the outside world. Some relatives in the family still kept in touch with them secretly and sent them some supplies regularly.

While hiding in this underwater cave, they had nothing to do but practice.

But it's really boring here, and it's easy to develop psychological problems if you stay here for a long time.

The young man's face was sallow, his eyes gradually unfocused. He had a parasitic tumor under his right armpit. It was before the smuggling case involving the five major families was exposed. He had met a strange girl while walking at night.

The girl gave him the tumor, saying it would make him stronger.

His strength has always been at the bottom among his peers, and he is often bullied because of his ordinary qualifications.

But after getting this tumor, he actually defeated several people who had bullied him.

This tumor was his secret, and he had never told anyone else, including the tall young man who lived with him in the cave.

For some reason, he had nightmares frequently in the past few days, dreaming of a gigantic monster wreaking havoc in River City.

Many people died due to its destruction.

Later, the holy land sent a saint to destroy the monster.

But to everyone's surprise, the saint was also defeated by the monster.

However, such a powerful monster did not remain so arrogant forever and was eventually killed by a mysterious fairy.

The strangest thing about this dream was that, from his perspective, his identity in the dream was the giant monster.

In his dream, when he transformed into a monster, he felt full of power. A single wave of his claws could destroy large houses, and a single breath of his breath could cause tremendous damage.

He was so powerful in the dream that he could frighten many monks who were usually high and mighty.

He could understand how unwilling those powerful monks who were defeated by him were.

Even some cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage were swallowed alive by him.

As time went on, he suddenly felt that as long as he became strong, it didn't matter even if he became a monster.

Every time he woke up from a dream, he felt extremely empty and irritable.

He's not a monster, he's just a lost dog.

The gap between the two made him feel depressed.

Although he also thought at first that he actually wanted to become a monster, this idea was really terrifying.

But after having such dreams so many times, he actually felt that even turning into a monster would not be a big deal.

"Qiu Yishen, don't be so sad all day. Once we move to a new place and change our appearance, no one will be able to restrain us anymore."

"Then we can do whatever we want. I've already thought about it. I want to buy a big house, marry eight or ten wives, and have a lot of fat babies."

Song Zhiqiang chattered on and on. He was full of hope for the future and didn't look like a desperate fugitive at all.

He didn't even notice that his companion's body was twitching constantly and the muscles under his robe were swelling.

"The family kicked us out as scapegoats. We are nothing but dogs that have lost their home. Do we really have a future?" Qiu Yishen said dejectedly.

Not long after, Song Zhiqiang heard the sound of clothes being torn.

Song Zhiqiang looked at Qiu Yishen and found that he had become ugly without him knowing when.

The sallow-faced young man turned into a muscular monster, but this monster had a dog's head, which destroyed the mighty and domineering aura he should have possessed.

"What the hell?" Song Zhiqiang was shocked. He picked up his sword and prepared to fight.

However, the dog-headed monster moved swiftly. He had just grasped the knife firmly and had not yet made a swing when the dog-headed monster punched him.

"boom!"

A head exploded, turning into a large blood mist, with red and white spilling all over the ground.

"Hahaha! I'm so strong!" The dog-headed monster still retained the ability to speak, but a bloodthirsty impulse rushed to its brain.

He smelled the blood in the air and felt an inexplicable excitement.

A strong urge to eat made his mouth water. Seeing the mutilated bodies of his former companions, he actually felt hungry.

He is a cultivator and doesn't need to eat frequently, so why does he feel hungry?

Wait, this is Senior Brother Song, I can't, I can't...

After Zhao Kangping walked into the cave, he saw the dog-headed monster devouring a corpse.

The monster had a tumor on its body. Needless to say, it was the tumor monster that had caused so much trouble in River City before.

Judging from their conversation, these two people should be the descendants of the side branches who were used as scapegoats in the smuggling case of the five major families.

This monster was so disgusting that lightning flashed between Zhao Kangping's fingers, and the monster that was eating the corpse was blasted into ashes.

He also burned the blood and body parts in the cave with fire, completely erasing any traces left by the two men.

"Hmm? If some of these people who escaped were infected with sarcoma, this might not be an isolated case." Zhao Kangping had a bad premonition.
