I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

Ye Qingning took a deep breath, and while dodging the pursuit of the black-winged griffin, he released his spiritual sense to quickly search in the dark mountains, and soon locked onto a cave in the distance.

The entrance to the cave is extremely hidden, hidden behind the waterfall, obscured by the rushing water and lush green vegetation. It is difficult to find it without careful observation.

[Ningning, Ningning! Hurry up! Over here!]

The system transformed into a little green bird, which could glow, for fear that Ye Qingning would not be able to see him due to poor lighting at night.

Ye Qingning broke through the wind and quickly rushed towards the cave, so fast that he left a trail of afterimages.

The black-winged griffin was chasing her relentlessly from behind, flapping its wings to hit the air, making a heavy sound, and its sharp whistles pierced her eardrums. The roars were getting closer and closer, as if they would tear her apart at any time.

Finally, when he was about to be caught up, Ye Qingning nimbly crossed the waterfall and rushed into the cave.

The cave was dark, with only a faint light coming in from the entrance, allowing one to barely see the scene inside. The walls of the cave were covered with moss, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

Even after entering the cave, Ye Qingning still rushed deeper into the cave, not daring to delay at all, because she knew that although the cave entrance was not big, the black-winged griffin could still squeeze in after passing through the waterfall.

Just as Ye Qingning guessed, the black-winged griffin's pursuit did not stop because she entered the cave. Instead, it became more violent because its advantage in the air was deprived.

Pairs of eyes glowed crimson in the darkness as they rushed into the cave entrance like mad.

The black-winged griffin is huge and seems particularly crowded in the cave.

Every flap of its wings ruthlessly tore the stone wall apart, and broken stones flew everywhere, making a series of sharp crashing sounds.

Ye Qingning only felt that the entire cave was shaking, and the violent aura behind him was getting closer and closer. It was undoubtedly the black-winged griffin catching up.

[Ningning, Ningning, hurry up! These crazy birds are catching up! Ahead! There's an underground river ahead!]

Ye Qingning quickened her pace again. As the system said, she could already hear the sound of water flowing in the underground river.

At this moment, a strong impact came from behind.

A black-winged griffin, which was the largest in size and had the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, forcibly spread its wings in the narrow cave and flapped its wings to catch up.

"boom!"

A huge gust of air erupted in the cave, sweeping over and hitting her back from behind. Her internal organs seemed to be displaced, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

He secretly thought that the strength of the flying monster in the Nascent Soul stage was indeed not to be underestimated.

"Ningning!" The system's voice was full of anxiety.

Ye Qingning ignored the severe pain in his back and used all his strength to rush towards the underground river.

The black-winged griffin followed her closely, its sharp claws almost touching her back.

Ye Qingning made up his mind, turned around and punched towards the sharp claws.

"boom--"

The collision of fists and claws made a dull sound.

Ye Qingning only felt a huge force coming, and the whole person flew backwards under the impact of this force.

"Crash...!"

The light suddenly became brighter, and Ye Qingning steadied himself. Only then did he realize that he had been knocked to the bank of an underground river by the force of the collision, with the sound of the rapids of the underground river in his ears.

The black-winged griffin with the strength of a Nascent Soul also chased out from the cave passage, flapping its wings and roaring.

A pair of red eyes stared at Ye Qingning, as if wanting to eat her alive.

The water was flowing rapidly and the sound of water echoed like thunder. Ye Qingning moved his body and jumped into the dark river without hesitation.

Suddenly losing their target, the Black-winged Griffins that had been following them from the cave were all stunned for a moment.

Then there were angry roars, intertwined with the sound of flapping wings, as if to shake the entire ground to collapse.

It is true that the Black-Winged Griffin is a terrifyingly powerful flying monster, but it is extremely poor at swimming and cannot swim freely in the water, so it is afraid of underground rivers.

Especially since the underground river before them was bottomless and the water was rushing, they didn't dare to try to go into the water easily and could only wander around the shore, roaring angrily.

After a long time, seeing that Ye Qingning still hadn't come out, he finally left angrily and helplessly.

After Ye Qingning jumped into the river, his vision was surrounded by chaos and darkness.

The river water was icy cold, and whirlpools of water kept flashing before her eyes. Pressure surged in from all directions, and her body was swept in and thrown out by the underwater undercurrent.

Fortunately, she had already used heavenly thunder to strengthen her body once before, so her physical strength was better than before. She quickly maintained her balance in the turbulent river water.

I gradually adapted to the dim light underwater and began to vaguely identify the scenery in the water. I could even see some small fish swimming underwater.

As she continued to sink, the light around her became dimmer and dimmer, and the water temperature became lower and lower. She silently reminded herself to stay vigilant at all times.

Since there are fish in the underground river, there may be other unknown creatures hiding in the dark, so it is not necessarily safe underwater.

When we were almost at the bottom of the river, a powerful suction force suddenly swept over us.

Ye Qingning did not panic. He immediately adjusted his body. Instead of resisting the suction, he went along with it and allowed his body to be pulled downward by the powerful suction.

In the dim light, she felt her body constantly being pushed by the water, and vaguely seemed to see a huge whirlpool deep in the river, spinning and swallowing everything.

Her body also continued to spin and sink after being caught in the vortex...

……

[Ningning, Ningning, wake up! We're safe!] The system was afraid that it wouldn't wake her up, so it pecked at Ye Qingning's forehead, almost breaking her skin.

Ye Qingning was woken up by the system. He supported himself with his arms and sat up. Besides feeling a little dizzy, his back also felt burning.

But the recovery speed of the physical cultivator is amazing. Even though he just trained once, the pain in his back is a little better than before.

Of course, there is no need to take elixirs, because physical cultivators rely on their own self-healing ability to recover. It is through repeated tempering and injuries that the self-healing ability is improved.

After dodging the black-winged griffin, Ye Qingning's nervous heart calmed down, and the surrounding scenery came into view clearly.

This is an underground cave. The river running through the center of the cave is connected to an underground river, which is why she came here following the water flow.

The entire cave is extremely wide. On the surrounding stone walls, stalactites of various shapes, some of which look like waterfalls falling straight down, while others look like blooming lotus flowers.

The towering cave ceiling is covered with glittering stalagmites, and the occasional dripping water drops stir up tiny ripples.

There is a crack on the top of the cave, and the moonlight shines through it, like the Milky Way pouring down, bringing a soft light to the dark cave.

After picking the Thunder Flame Fruit in her previous life, she and Xie Jibai dodged the pursuit of the black-winged griffin all the way and came here by accident. Otherwise, she would not have known that there was a cave here.

And those strange white crystals of various shapes with a faint luster in the corner of the cave are not ordinary minerals, but moon crystals.

Moon Crystal is a rare mineral formed from the essence of heaven and earth. It emits a faint luster under the moonlight, like stars.

It is not only extremely hard, but also extremely tough, making it an excellent material for refining high-level magic weapons and god-level magic weapons.

In fact, there is not only the Moon Crystal in the corner of the cave, there is also a secret space hidden here.
