They walked slowly as they entered into mountain, the mountain had this eerie feeling that they just couldn't shake off, they climbed the stairs that led to the underground prison in the mountain, they continued climbing the stairs but it seemed like there was no limit or an end to the stairs.
"young mistress, are you sure you came here before how were yu able to go through such an arduous journey" Huo Qiang asked panting, they had already began sweating and breathing as they continued to climb down the stairs that seemed endless, Huo ying couldn't understand what was going on either.
When she followed her sister secretly to the beast dungeon, it only took them three hours to get to the beast dungeon, thinking back now it seemed like everything....seemed like the forest and the mountain was making way for Huo Lan, the pathway to the forest was just narrow when she came here before but now...everything has changed.
"I don't know what is happening either, it wasn't like this before and don't ask me if I am sure cause I am sure of it, the pathway to the mountain was just narrow and there was no fog and this staircase was no there before" she said with a confused look on her face, as she as distracted with her thought, she stumbled on a stone and almost fell down the stairs but was quickly pulled back by Huo Lian who had been supporting her all along.
"young mistress are you alright" they chorused, as they watched her stumble they felt like their heart was going to jump out of their chest, as she regained her balance and stabilized herself on the self while holding Huo Lian for support she nodded positively to their question.
"there is no way the way to the beast dungeon would have changed, I think there is something special about your sister and that was what made the journey easy for her" Huo Qiang said, and she nodded once again in agreement. After an hour of climbing the never-ending stairs, they had finally reached the dungeon. The dungeon was full of dust which made them cough as they walked into the dungeon, as they walked deeper into the dungeon, they heard a faint sound in the dungeon, but as they came closer, it became louder.
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
"Young mistress it seems like we are coming closer to where the beast is what should we do" Huo Lian asked with a shaky voice, "everybody keep calm and don't draw your sword because the moment you do it would think you are here to fight" Huo Ying said as she tried her best to calm herself down.
"How can we not draw our swords, are we not here to fight the beast, how else can we survive in this dungeon without killing the best" Huo Mei asked with a confused look on her face
"we definitely don't stand a chance if we fight with the beast so my plan is for us to cohabitate with this beast for two days and then we leave on the second day"
"WHAT!!!" they all chorused as they stared at her with a stupefied look on their faces.
"how is that even possible" Huo Qiang said
"then is it possible for us to win the beast if we get into a fight, our skills are completely useless before it" Huo ying said
"but how are we going to make the beast not attack us" Huo Lian asked.
"I am not sure if I can but it think I have a way to make it be at peace with us" Huo ying said with a not-too-sure- tone, they all looked at her wondering what way she had to make the beast accept them, "young mistress what way are you talking about" Huo Qiang asked
"back then..." Huo ying said but turned at the sound of a ground shaking footstep that could be heard very clearly, the ground started to shake and they had already lost their balance.
"I don't think I will b able to answer that question now" Huo Ying said as they turned to look at a huge creature approaching them, its footstep was enough to instill fear in them but at the sight of the creature coming closer to them they froze, they wanted to move but they couldn't move their foot.
A large creature whose body is covered up with scales approached them, the creature was about seven feet tall and it had large wings. Two fangs positioned themselves outside the mouth of the creature and it had long spikes on top of it's back, as it came closer to where they stood it released smoke from its nostril as though fire was going to come out of there at any time, it's large tail hit the ground with a heavy thud with every step he took forward.
Before they knew it, the creature was now standing in front of them, it looked down on them as it released smoke from its nostrils, they were stupefied as they looked up to the creature, they had never seen or heard of a beast that was this tall, the smoke from the beast finally brought them to their senses.
"what is next" Huo Qiang asked with his eyes fixed on the beast, "don't do anything just wait to see it's reaction" Huo Ying ordered, the beast continued to shift his eyes from one person to another as though he was examining them, he then noticed Huo Mei who was scared at the sight of this beast and didn't think that Huo ying plan would work slowly removing her sword from the sheath, the expression on the beast changed and became aggressive.
The beast struck the ground with it tail which gave another thud and then he raised it leg to throw Huo Mei to the ground but she quickly avoided its attack, seeing how the beast had changed they all brought out their swords and were prepared for the beast attack except Huo ying.
"didn't I tell you not to wield your sword against it" Huo Ying shouted to the others, the beast rushed towards Huo Qiang and swiped its wing across his body but he dodged the beast attack and cut its wing with his sword, this infuriated the beast beyond imagination, it struck it's leg on the ground and the mountain became shaky, they were unable to keep their balance and they felt weak and even their sword fell out of their hand.
Meanwhile, outside the mountain Huo Bingchen and the other ten disciples who were taking a nap outside the mountain were alarmed at the sound coming from the mountain, they all stood up and grabbed their sword.
"Senior brother Bingchen should we go in to help them" one of the disciples asked with worry and nervousness written all over his face, Huo Bingchen looked over his shoulder to see who had just made that statement, "what do you think you can do if you go in there, we will only serve as extra dinner for the beast in their didn't you hear the loud noise coming from the dungeon" Huo Bingchen said with anger all over his face, he looked away from the disciple and looked towards the direction of the noise, "Huo Ying oh Huo Ying, had you known you would have just begged me when I gave you the chance to, tchctchtchtch see what your arrogance and overconfidence has done to you" He said with a volume that only him could hear with an evil smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Senior bro...brother" the disciple who wanted to enter the dungeon stuttered as he called Huo Bingchen with his eyes focused on what was In front of them, "do you still want to go in, I see that you are ready to court that" Huo Bingchen shouted with his back turned at the disciples.
"it's not that...look" the disciple said stuttering
This time Huo Bingchen heard a growl and then turd back to se what made that sound, there were different creatures gathered just in front of them with hostility in their eyes, the disciples of the flame sect were not so weak that they would be scared of this beasts in front of them but the main point here was that…
These beasts were too much for them to handle, the kept on gathering in front of them from different angles of the forest, fighting them was very easy but they would have been exhausted by the time they fought the ones in front of them but….
more beasts were still gathering in front of them, before he could give any orders the beasts had already started attacking, using both the flame skills and their whip, they fought the beast in pairs.
-----------------------
Back in the cave, the others are still in a fierce combat with the beast or were they….
They couldn't even wield their swords which was far away from them and they were already lying on the floor unable to move not to talk of standing up, "why can't we move" Huo Qiang asked rhetorically. In their hearts they were not afraid of them dying, they were only afraid that the beast will harm their young mistress, as the beast moved closer to Huo ying they became alarmed but there was nothing they could do If they couldn't even stand up. The huge beast moved closer to Huo Ying as it retracted its wings to it's side, looking up at the beast which was now standing in front of her Huo Ying thoughts was now scattered, if she knew that the situation would turn this ugly she would never have agreed to let the guardians come along with her, as the beast lifted up its foot to stomp on her, she suddenly remembered what the original plan was, she inserted her hand into the chest space of her cloth and brought out a tiny bell. This made the beast hang its foot in the air but there was still hostility and anger in its eyes, it focused its gaze on the bell as though he was examining it, she realized what she needed to do. The others watched her as she held the tiny bell in her hand, that bell was something she had with her since they were young, they wondered why she was bringing out the bell in this situation, Huo Ying dangled the bell in her hand.
Clink!
Clink!
Clink!
The beast recognized the sound of the bell and then laid it foot back on the ground and moved away from Huo Ying, it moved towards the direction of the three guardians and raised it leg again but Huo Ying quickly ringed the bell again.
"don't hurt them" she shouted and waited to see the beast reaction, the beast gently laid it foot on the ground again and moved away from them.
--------------------------
The others outside were still engaging in a fierce combat with beast that were gathered outside the mountain, the battle would have ended long ago given the ability of the flame sect disciples but they just kept increasing in number. The beasts stopped attacking for a moment when they heard the first sound coming from the bell, the disciples who didn't hear the bell sound and couldn't understand why they had suddenly stopped attacking relaxed their guard only for the beasts to start attacking them again, this time as they heard the bell ringing again, they retreated into the forest from different directions, the disciples didn't know what to think of what had just happened but they took it as they were lucky, they sat back on the ground, the battle had not gone on for long so they were not yet exhausted but they didn't go back to sleep in case something unexpected happens again but apart from Huo Bingchen the other disciples couldn't help but worry about the safety of the young mistress, although Huo Ying was pretty strict to them and they had witnessed how brutal she was, they still liked her and they were all loyal to her.
