Not A Cultivator 74 No Matter What I'll Save You...

"Xiu..."

"Hmm..."

"Last night was fun!"

"Yes, it was!"

Feng Ao Xiu and Little Ren laughed.

"Xiu..."

"Hmmm..."

"Could you kill me?"

"Eh... What!?"

"Xiu, thank you. I'm glad I'm not alone in here." Little Ren smiled bitterly. Then, a tear flowed down through Little Ren's cheek and dropped into the ground. "But, to be stuck here and hungry all the time, I think it's just better to die!"

Of course, Little Ren was not without reason. Rather than dying because of hunger, it's better to die right now. In the end, they could not get out anyway.

"Ren..."

Feng Ao Xiu understood. He too has thought of that several times. But what Feng Ao Xiu doesn't accept was that saying it means you have given up all hope. Without anybody else to blame, Feng Ao Xiu could only blame the heavens.

[Heavens! How could you be so cruel to such a little girl!?]

Feng Ao Xiu spoke in a solemn voice, "LIttle Ren... Please don't say that!"

"Then... What could we do?"

"..."

Little Ren did not expect any answer, she was neither angry nor sad. There was only an expression of despair in her eyes. She knew everything will end soon.

Feng Ao Xiu could only grit his teeth and clenched his hand for being unable to answer.

"Little Ren, please just wait for three days. I will find us a way out of here!"

"What happens when three days passed?"

"...", Once again, Feng Ao Xiu could not answer.

"After three days... Would Xiu please kill me?"

Feng Ao Xiu closed his eyes. He could not withstand what he just heard. But, he slowly opened his eyes, "Okay... After three days, I will personally kill you with a quick and painless death. But, you have to promise, within those times, please don't say such a thing anymore!"

Little Ren nodded, "All right. I promise!"

Little Ren has gone back to sleep. But Feng Ao Xiu was wide awake. With a bitter smile on his face, he looked at the sleeping Little Ren's face.

"No matter what I'll save you...", Feng Ao Xiu mumbled to himself, in a voice nobody could hear.

Feng Ao Xiu felt like he has never been this focused before. He headed toward one of the cliff walls, one of his hand touched the cold hard surface of the rock.

[The rock here was especially too hard and firm. With my Qi being suppressed, destroying this cliff wall was not an option.]

Then, he looked up to the open sky.

[Climbing is not an option either. Not to mention it's too slippery and hard to climb, the invisible wall about one kilometre ahead was the biggest hurdle.]

Suddenly, Feng Ao Xiu punches the air three times repeatedly. He frowned at the result, then he started cultivating. His eyebrow creased, he was surprised he could capture the Qi in here. Then, he started experimenting with lots of different movements. From a small kick to weapon attack, even channelling Qi through lots of different things.

[A weird phenomenon... This ravine actually only prevent the Qi to spread in a human body. I can cultivate, also channel my Qi to a sword or rock without any problem.]

But Feng Ao Xiu still sighed.

[It was no use. If Qi could not be directed to muscle, then it's just the same nothing. Channelling Qi through another object would also do nothing, if it was not synergized with the Qi in the human body.]

Feng Ao Xiu looked around one more time, to find anything he could analyze.

[The ground here was too ordinary, nothing is special. Only bones and skeletons could be seen.]

[Some of the victims were among nobles wearing expensive clothes and armours. Some of them even have a storage ring, but there was no food inside. Most probably, they were also desperate in getting food like us.]

Feng Ao Xiu shook his head. Trying to think about another victim of this ravine would only make him despaired. It's better to think of another thing.

Once again, Feng Ao Xiu gazed to the only visible exit in here. The up above. Upwards was the only conclusion he has. He reached this place by jumping down from above, to go back, he only needs to go in the other direction.

But saying it was easier than doing it. These were totally two different things.

[It's futile! No matter what I do, getting up there was impossible! But this is the only way... If only my Qi was not suppressed by this ravine...]

[Hmmm... The only people who are suppressed by the Dark Cloud Ravine are Little Ren and me. Obviously, we cannot get out because we are affected by it. But, it does not mean someone else cannot take us out.]

[That's it! I need to ask for someone else's help!!]

Unquestionably, this idea seemed like a stupid move. In the middle of nowhere, how would you go to ask for help? You could shout all you want, and no one will hear you. Even if someone does hear, how are they going to help? Nobody wants to risk their lives to enter the infamous Dark Cloud Ravine. What would happen was they would get trapped alongside Feng Ao Xiu and Little Ren.

But for Feng Ao Xiu, this was the only move left. He has tried everything from securing food to jumping and climbing but to no avail. As long as it was something he hasn't done, he would do it.

[Someone who could help us... Probably an Ancient Mortal Realm or an Ancient Earth Realm could help us. Someone strong enough to not be affected by this ravine's curse, is probably only them.]

Feng Ao Xiu sat down, thinking hard again. What could he do to get the attention of these great people to come here?

"!!!"

An idea just popped up in his head. Quickly, he looked upwards again, surveying the cliff area.

Then, he picked up a small rock from the ground and tossed it upwards. The rock shot flew passing a certain height, before falling down again. As he saw the movement of the rock, Feng Ao Xiu smiled.

[This might work...]

***

Feng Ao Xiu has done everything he could. Now, all he could do now was wait.

And, as promised, Little Ren has brightened up a little. She did not mention anything about dying, but her complexion was still worse.

The day ended with just them making a small chat.

***

The second day. Nothing happened.

"..."

"..."

Feng Ao Xiu and Little Ren did not talk at all.

***

The third day. Nothing happened.

Little Ren has been laying on the ground all day long. She sleeps all the time. When she has enough rest, she forced herself to sleep again.

[It was already night! In the end, nobody came... Of course, what am I thinking? There was no way it would work!]

As he looked at Little Ren, Feng Ao Xiu could not help but feel angry towards himself, that he could not make the little girl smile.

[Do I really have to kill her tomorrow...]

"Xiu... Thank you for everything..." Little Ren said while she was still laying down with her back facing against Feng Ao Xiu.

Hearing Little Ren voice, Feng Ao Xiu smiled wryly. Without saying anything, he lay on the ground as well.

He was prepared to kill the little girl tomorrow.

***

The moon quickly fades, and the sun rises from its sleep.

"Wake up!" somebody shouted.

"Zzzz..." Feng Ao Xiu was in a deep sleep.

Someone kicked Feng Ao Xiu in the chest, "I said, wake up!"

Feng Ao Xiu screams, "Aaarrggh... Who is it!?"

Little Ren also startled by Feng Ao Xiu's scream and wakes up.

"Kid! You better answer my question truthfully or else..." An old man said.

Feng Ao Xiu and Little Ren were shocked.

[I can't believe it, someone else is here!]

[Who is this old man!?]
