The cold wind still blows and evening is approaching.

Following Shen Daixing's description, Gu Yuyuan finally took her back to the cave covered with vines.

Shen Daixing said excitedly: "It's here!"

Gu Yuyuan held her and walked into the cave step by step. The air in the cave was clear and moist, unlike the coldness of the snow outside.

The entire cave is covered with crisscrossing vines, like a vine palace. There is snow outside and green grass inside.

The vines were still growing on the earthen walls of the cave, but the bright red fruits were gone.

"I remember there were a lot of fruits. I just ate some, how come they are all gone?" Shen Daixing asked in confusion.

The ground was covered with gravel and dust, not even a speck of fruit residue.

She jumped down from Gu Yuyuan's arms, and while walking, she looked at the vines to find fruit. Gu Yuyuan followed her closely behind her, his eyes also looking around.

When they reached the deepest part of the cave, Shen Daixing was tired and asked Gu Yuyuan to hold her.

She didn't even notice that the vines silently hooked onto her tail, which was swaying in Gu Yuyuan's arms, and played gently with her.

Gu Yuyuan sensed something was wrong, and quickly turned around while holding Yuxing. He waved his hand and sent spiritual power behind him. The vines that were originally playing quickly retreated but were still hit and withered instantly.

Suddenly, the vines in the cave began to move rapidly, and thick vines attacked them like lightning. The vines tightly wrapped around Gu Yuyuan's arms, forcibly separating his hands that were holding the white cat.

Before Shen Daixing could react, several vines emerged from the ground, grabbed the white cat's waist, and quickly wrapped it up like a silkworm cocoon, intending to pull it underground.

"Yuxing!" Gu Yuyuan's eyes flashed, and his body activated spiritual energy, instantly releasing a large amount of magic power, and all the vines wrapped around him were shattered.

He raised his hand, and a wisp of spiritual energy with thunder gathered and shot towards the roots of the vines on the ground as fast as lightning. The vines slowed down and then dried up after being hit. He summoned his natal magic sword, and the sword light cut through the void, cutting off the vines that were entangled with the white cat.

Shen Daixing took the opportunity to break free from the restraints and ran towards Gu Yuyuan.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in the cave, and the vines that had been glowing dimmed. Everything around became dark. Shen Daixing felt her feet slip, and a black hole appeared on the ground and swept her down.

Gu Yuyuan's eyes narrowed, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Yuxing. The man and the cat were both rolled into the ground.

......

In the darkness, faint breathing sounds were heard. Thanks to the fact that Shen Daixing was a cat now, she could see the surroundings clearly with her eyes open. Gu Yuyuan was lying not far from her with his eyes closed.

She ran over quickly, and Gu Yuyuan woke up at this time.

Shen Daixing asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Gu Yuyuan held her up and looked at the dark environment. He took out a mermaid pearl from the storage ring, and the surroundings suddenly became bright. He activated his spiritual power, and the night pearl floated around them, illuminating them.

It's quite convenient. Shen Daixing looked at it curiously and felt that it was not a night pearl, but looked like a light bulb.

The light grew brighter, and Shen Daixing looked around. There were broken stone walls with paintings carved on them. They were covered with a thick layer of dust, and a faint mysterious atmosphere was revealed.

The painting on the stone wall shows a small town where shops and vendors are doing a booming business, people are coming and going on the streets, and two or three people are brewing tea around a stove on a black-sailed boat in the small river. Although the painting on the stone wall is very old, it is not difficult to see the prosperous scene at that time.

Shen Daining and Gu Yuyuan looked at each other and said, "This is the town we stayed in yesterday."

Gu Yuyuan nodded: "It should be."

"There's nothing here. Are those vines pulling us down just to make us look at a painting?"

"Maybe there is a way out here. Let's wipe off the dust and see." As he spoke, Gu Yuyuan began to cast a spell to remove the dust covering the painting, but to his surprise, nothing remained.

Shen Daixing suggested: "Why not try wiping it with your hands?"

"Let me try."

Gu Yuyuan raised one hand to wipe off the dust, but there was no change. Seeing this, he frowned slightly and stood in front of the stone wall, thinking silently.

"I'll do it!" After saying that, Shen Daixing gently touched the stone wall with her furry claws. As soon as it touched the surface, ripples appeared on the stone wall like the surface of water, and the whole painting came to life.

Suddenly, the scene changed, and a man and a cat were swallowed into the painting.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back on the streets of the small town. The only difference this time was that people coming and going could pass through their bodies as if they could not see them.

Shen Daixing asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

"It seems like I've entered the painting."

Suddenly, the originally sunny weather turned gloomy, and the scene was instantly shrouded in darkness. A strong wind swept over the ancient town, and a man wearing a mask and a black robe appeared in the sky, and the black robe fluttered in the wind.

Passersby all looked at the sky, but they saw nothing but a pitch-black mass.

"It's going to rain soon. We have to go home and collect the clothes." Some people muttered to themselves.

"Hurry up, it's going to rain heavily." A woman was pulling a child who was still looking around and hurried towards home.

The pedestrians who were originally strolling leisurely began to walk in a hurry, and the vendors kept looking at the sky, preparing to close their stalls.

Everyone was busy with their own things, and no one except Shen Daixing and Gu Yuyuan could see the man in black in the sky.

"They didn't seem to notice the man in black in the sky." Shen Daixing frowned. "Did they bring us into the painting so that we could defeat him and change the fate of the town?"

Gu Yuyuan said calmly, "This is a re-enactment of the town's destruction. We can't do anything now, just watch."

The mysterious man in black stood quietly in the air, staring at the people coming and going in the town. His face was impossible to see, and a murderous aura permeated his body.

He stretched out his finger and lightly pointed in the air to reveal a strange rune, which quickly grew larger above the ancient town.

Suddenly, a strange black fog filled the town, and violent lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the dark sky with flickering lights.

The lightning in the sky split into several streams of electricity, which fell violently and irregularly in various corners of the ancient town. The thunderous roar shook the entire ancient town to the point of collapse. The black fog grew thicker and thicker, and the terrifying power continued to spread throughout the ancient town.

Shrill screams were heard all around, and the people in the town began to flee in panic. The children who were originally playing and laughing were dragged by the adults, scrambling to escape from this dangerous place.

A little boy got lost from his parents in the chaotic crowd. He burst into tears and tried to run after the crowd, but was knocked off balance by the fleeing people and accidentally fell to the ground, landing at Gu Yuyuan's feet.

Shen Daixing looked down and saw that this was the naughty kid who had taken the lead in trying to catch her when she first entered the town.

Instinctively, she jumped out of Gu Yuyuan's arms and tried to help the boy who was lying on the ground crying. Her outstretched claws passed through the boy's arms like air, and she could do nothing.

Shen Daixing looked at the little boy who was crying sadly and occasionally being trampled on with some sadness. Her eyes gradually became tearful and she looked up at Gu Yuyuan.

Gu Yuyuan didn't say much. He reached out and picked her up, flying into the air on his sword. They could only watch what happened, powerless to do anything.

But the disasters are far more than that.
