From cannon fodder villain to beloved heroine

The dim light inside the cave seemed to be shrouded in an invisible black curtain, with only the barely burning torches emitting a faint glow.

The narrow passage seemed to be constantly narrowing, as if it could swallow the two of them up at any moment.

The echoes of each step reverberated through the cave walls, creating a stark contrast with the silence outside and sending a chill down one's spine.

Yan Rugo and Xu Yi'an looked tense and solemn, their eyes flashing with curiosity and vigilance.

Their hearts raced involuntarily, but their steps became even more resolute.

The torchlight cast long shadows on their faces, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.

"This place is really a bit eerie," Yan Rugo said in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly, but her eyes remained firm.

"No matter what happens, we'll face it together." Xu Yi'an held her hand tightly, his voice steady and powerful, as if instilling courage in her.

The air inside the cave grew increasingly oppressive, as if an invisible force was propelling them forward.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from the depths of the cave, like the howl of a wild beast, echoing through the cave and sending chills down one's spine.

The two looked at each other, their hearts racing involuntarily.

"What do you think that roar is?" Yan Rugo asked in a low voice, her tone trembling slightly.

Xu Yi'an held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "No matter what it is, we will face it together." The two walked firmly toward the source of the mysterious roar, their hearts beating faster and faster.

They passed through a narrow passage, and the cave's terrain became increasingly complex.

Suddenly, a huge black bear appeared in front of them.

The black bear is enormous, as tall as two people, with bloodshot eyes and an aggressive demeanor.

Its fur looked particularly sinister in the dim light, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Xu Yi'an immediately shielded Yan Rugo, drew his long sword from his waist, and prepared to fight.

The black bear's roar grew increasingly deafening, causing sand and soil to fall from the cave walls.

Xu Yi'an swung his sword at the black bear, but the bear's strength far exceeded his expectations. The sword was easily deflected, and Xu Yi'an's sword even made a crisp sound from the impact.

"Watch out!" Yan Rugo shouted nervously. Her heart was pounding and her palms were sweating, but her eyes shone with determination.

She knew she couldn't let Xu Yi'an face such danger alone.

Just then, the black bear let out another low roar and pounced on Xu Yi'an.

While defending himself, Xu Yi'an shouted to Yan Rugo, "Quick, think of something!" Yan Rugo gritted her teeth, quickly took out the system program from her bosom, and urgently sought help from the system.

The system's voice rang in her ears: "The black bear's weakness is its eyes."

Yan Rugo's gaze hardened instantly, and she shouted, "Xu Yi'an, attack its eyes!" Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Xu Yi'an's eyes, and he swung his sword sharply towards the black bear's eyes...

 Exploring the Cave: The Truth Gradually Revealed

Yan Rugo's eyes hardened instantly, and she shouted, "Xu Yi'an, attack its eyes!" Xu Yi'an, upon hearing this,

At this critical moment, Yan Rugo calmly looked around and noticed some scattered stones.

She quickly picked up a piece and threw it with all her might at the black bear's eye.

The stone struck the black bear squarely in the left eye, causing it to let out a piercing scream and writhe in agony on the ground.

The black bear's right eye was also fixed on the two of them, but Yan Rugo did not hesitate at all. She picked up another stone and accurately hit the black bear's right eye.

The black bear finally couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground in agony, no longer moving.

Seeing this, Xu Yi'an exclaimed, "You're amazing, Ru Ge!"

Yan Rugo looked at him, her eyes glistening with tears of happiness, and whispered, "Only by facing it together can we overcome everything."

The quiet cave seemed to belong only to the two of them.

Xu Yi'an held Yan Rugo in his arms, and their heartbeats gradually calmed down.

Just then, Xu Yi'an suddenly released his arm, his eyes shining as he looked intently at the spot where the black bear had fallen, and whispered, "There seems to be something here..." Xu Yi'an carefully moved aside the black bear's corpse, and a pungent smell of blood wafted out, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, hidden by the black bear's massive body, they discovered a concealed recess.

In the recess, several letters sealed with sealing wax and an old book that looked quite old lay quietly.

Yan Rugo's eyes lit up instantly. She eagerly picked up the letter and quickly opened it, as if she were opening a package.

The handwriting on the letter was delicate, but the more she read it, the more her brows furrowed and her face grew increasingly serious.

Seeing this, Xu Yi'an leaned over and the two of them carefully studied the letter together.

The contents of the letter gradually revealed a shocking secret: the kind-looking Master Huikong was actually colluding with a mysterious organization and plotting something sinister!

The tip of the iceberg of the conspiracy was finally revealed, sending chills down the spines of both of them. This old bald monk is two-faced, quite the schemer!

"That old monk is definitely no good!" Yan Rugo couldn't help but mutter under her breath, a thousand curses running through her mind.

Then, she eagerly picked up the ancient book, whose cover was prominently displayed with the three characters "Jinghong Jue".

Upon opening it, one finds it densely filled with all sorts of exquisite techniques and formulas.

Yan Rugo instantly felt that this cave exploration was a huge win!

Xu Yi'an looked at the manual with curiosity and attention in his eyes. "It seems that this manual is extraordinary. We need to study it carefully."

The two decided to leave the cave with the letter and the secret manual, and expose Master Huikong's conspiracy to the public.

However, when they returned to the cave entrance, they found that the exit was completely blocked by a huge rock.

This huge rock, as tall as two people, lies across the entrance to the cave, like an insurmountable mountain.

Despite their best efforts, the two could not budge it even slightly.

"What the heck?!" Yan Rugo exclaimed in surprise. Her joyful face instantly fell, as if her soul had been drained and she had lost all her vitality.

Xu Yi'an also frowned and looked around.

The air inside the cave grew increasingly oppressive, so stuffy it was hard to breathe, and the surroundings seemed to grow even quieter, with even the echoes from the cave walls sounding particularly eerie.

An ominous premonition came to mind.

Just as the two were anxiously searching for another way out, a sinister voice suddenly came from outside the cave, echoing clearly inside: "Amitabha, you two benefactors, now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Yan Rugo and Xu Yi'an instantly felt a chill run down their spines, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It seems that some people can't sit still anymore..." Xu Yi'an's lips curled into a meaningful smile as he slowly drew his long sword.
