The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 283 Falling into a Dark Hole

After entering the blood pool, Lan Wangji was injured by the resentment inside, and blood seeped out of his white clothes.

At this moment, he didn't care about his embarrassment and staggered forward, looking for Wei Wuxian.

As for Wei Wuxian, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He held onto a tree with one hand and covered his heart with the other hand, breathing heavily.

Cai Luan stopped and landed on Wei Wuxian's shoulder. Xue Chonghai's voice rang out. "Wei Wuxian, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, I just had a sudden pain in my chest."

"Should we continue exploring? Or should we find a way out first?"

Wei WuXian gritted his teeth and said, "Let's look for it again."

Xue Chonghai sighed helplessly and could only continue to move forward with him.

Wei Wuxian asked Cai Luan to explore the way ahead, and he followed and walked forward.

But after walking for a long time, I didn't find anything unusual.

"Wei Wuxian, we've been searching for so long and haven't found anything. Why don't we find a way out first?" Xue Chonghai suggested.

Wei WuXian thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's go out first, otherwise Lan Zhan will get anxious waiting for him."

Lan Wangji searched around but couldn't find Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji's heart was filled with worry. He endured the pain from his wound and quickened his pace.

Suddenly, he heard a faint bird song, the call of a Cai Luan. Lan Wangji followed the sound and soon saw Wei Wuxian.

When Wei Wuxian saw Lan Wangji, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he walked towards him quickly.

When he saw the blood on Lan Wangji's white clothes, his eyes instantly became anxious, "Lan Zhan, why did you go into the blood pool? Didn't I tell you to wait for me up there? You're injured!"

"I'm fine. I've been waiting for a long time but you didn't come up. I sent you a message but there was no news."

Wei Wuxian frowned. He reached out and gently touched the bloodstain on Lan Wangji's clothes, his eyes filled with self-blame. "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have made you wait so long and put yourself in danger."

Lan Wangji held his hand and said softly, "It's okay, as long as you are safe."

Cai Luan, who was standing by, heard Xue Chonghai's light cough, reminding the two that it was still very dangerous here.

Wei WuXian finally came back to his senses. He looked around and said, "We can't stay here for long. Let's leave first."

Lan Wangji nodded, and the two of them headed towards the blood pool's exit.

However, the resentment within the blood pool seemed to sense their departure and began to surge wildly. The surrounding scene became distorted and blurred, and waves of eerie aura rushed towards them. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji exchanged a glance, then stood back to back in tacit understanding.

Xue Chonghai shouted, "This won't do. We have to break the source of this resentment."

Wei Wuxian held the Chen Qing tightly in his hand and played a tune to exorcise evil spirits, while Lan Wangji drew his sword and slashed at the place where the resentful fog was the thickest.

As the two of them worked together, the resentment gradually dissipated, and a bright passage appeared before their eyes, clearly the exit to the blood pool. Without hesitation, the two of them ran towards the passage, finally leaving this dangerous place.

Wei Wuxian supported Lan Wangji and came to the place where the formation was previously opened, and began to use spiritual power to heal him.

Lan Wangji also began to circulate his spiritual power to recover from his injuries. Wei Wuxian stopped when he saw Lan Wangji circulate his spiritual power, and then stood aside and waited quietly.

He regretted extremely why he didn't listen to Xue Chonghai's advice and come out first, causing Lan Zhan and others to come to him anxiously and be hurt by the resentment of the blood pool.

When Lan Wangji opened his eyes, he saw Wei Wuxian’s face full of self-blame.

"Wei Ying, don't worry, I'm fine."

Wei Wuxian threw himself into Lan Wangji's arms and said, "Lan Zhan, this is all my fault. If I had listened to Xue Chonghai's advice, you wouldn't have been hurt."

Lan Wangji stroked Wei Wuxian's head and soothed him softly, "Okay, Wei Ying, don't be sad. This is not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself."

Wei Wuxian rubbed against Lan Wangji's arms, like a little animal seeking comfort.

At this time, Xue Chonghai spoke through Cai Luan, "What are you going to do now? This blood pool is so strange, there must be a bigger secret behind it."

Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian, "Wei Ying, what do you think?"

Wei Wuxian stood up, his eyes determined. "Lan Zhan, since we've come this far, we naturally need to investigate thoroughly. But we must be more cautious this time."

Lan Wangji nodded slightly in agreement.

So the two of them set out again, carefully searching for clues along the perimeter of the blood pool.

When they reached a cliff, Wei Wuxian spotted some faint ancient runes on it. Just as he was about to move closer to examine it, his feet suddenly gave way, and he fell towards a dark hole.

Lan Wangji quickly grabbed Wei Wuxian's hand and fell down as well.

It was pitch black in the cave, and Wei Wuxian used the night-shining pearl that Lan Wangji had given him to illuminate his surroundings.

The cave walls were wet and emitted a foul smell.

Lan Wangji held Wei Wuxian's hand tightly and observed his surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, a low roar was heard, and a huge shadow beast slowly appeared.

It was as tall as a mountain, its eyes gleaming with a faint light. Wei Wuxian played the Chen Qing in an attempt to drive it away, but the shadow beast remained unmoved. Lan Wangji drew his sword and stabbed at it, but it swung its claws and sent it flying.

"Lan Zhan!" Wei Wuxian was extremely anxious and rushed over to help Lan Wangji up.

Just as the shadow beast pounced again, Wei Wuxian discovered a shining crystal core on its head, which might be its weakness.

He threw Chen Qing into the air, chanting an incantation. Chen Qing transformed into several spirit whips that entangled the Shadow Beast. He then took advantage of the opportunity to leap up and stab the crystal core with his sword. The Shadow Beast howled, spewed a puff of black smoke, and fled.

The two men breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explore the dark cave. At the bottom of the cave, they found a stone tablet engraved with runes, which recorded the secrets of the blood pool and an ancient family curse.

As they carefully studied the inscription, the cave roof began to collapse, and they had to find a way to leave as soon as possible.
