Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

Xu Xingchen's heart was shrouded in a heavy layer of worry. The night was as dark as ink, but the stars could not dispel his uneasiness. He knew very well that it was not easy to find a family willing to accept the two of them in this vast valley.

Mu Wanqing's pale face and weak breathing constantly reminded him that she urgently needed a warm and quiet environment to heal and rest. Although her injuries were not fatal, the long period of drowning had brought her physical strength to the limit, and she could only recover by sufficient rest.

And although I have strong internal strength and a strong physique, after the thrilling contest in the daytime, the true energy in my body was almost exhausted. I urgently need a quiet place to recuperate and regain my strength.

At this moment, he is not only alert to the dangers of the outside world, but also has an urgent desire to restore his own abilities.

Walking along the way, Xu Xingchen's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He shuttled through the sparse trees and winding paths, trying his best to capture every clue that might bring hope.

The occasional flickering light in the distance, even if it was as faint as a firefly, could ignite a glimmer of anticipation in Xu Xingchen's heart. He could not help but quicken his pace, fearing that he would miss any possible shelter.

However, as Xu Xingchen went deeper and deeper into the deep valley, Mu Wanqing in his arms was still unconscious. Her breathing was soft and weak, as if she would blend into the boundless silence at any time.

The surrounding scene gradually became desolate and primitive, with sparse trees and twisted branches, like ancient sculptures carved by time and wind and frost. The sky was cut into narrow gaps by the towering mountains.

The moonlight was dim and the stars had disappeared, leaving only a deep darkness covering the land.

In this dead silence, apart from Xu Xingchen's own heavy breathing, the only sound that could be heard was the crunching sound of fallen leaves under his feet. They were like the whispers of time, echoing in the empty valley.

It added a bit of loneliness and desolation. This feeling of loneliness surged like a cold tide, penetrating into every pore of the human body, making people shiver unconsciously. At the same time, an indescribable fear and uneasiness surged in their hearts.

Although Xu Xingchen has various internal skills to protect his body, he is not affected by the surrounding environment at all.

But when the surrounding scenery gradually became desolate and primitive, Xu Xingchen even began to doubt his decision in his heart. Should he really take the seriously injured Mu Wanqing into this unknown and dangerous valley?

Could they find a family here to seek help? Or was this just Xu Xingchen's wishful thinking, an unrealistic fantasy? The emptiness and desolation around him seemed to be mocking his innocence and ignorance, and his heart sank to the bottom.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the cold wind began to rage, penetrating Xu Xingchen's thin clothes with the biting coldness, which made Xu Xingchen realize that if he continued walking like this.

Mu Wanqing in his arms would also fall into a more dangerous situation due to lack of timely rest. Therefore, after some difficult decisions, Xu Xingchen finally made up his mind to find a cave to rest temporarily.

Xu Xingchen held the unconscious Mu Wanqing in his arms, and staggered forward on the rugged mountain road relying on the faint moonlight in the sky. They were surrounded by a dense, dark forest, with the occasional cries of night birds adding a bit of loneliness and mystery.

Finally, after a difficult journey, his eyes were attracted by a scene hidden in the mountain. It was a naturally formed cave. Although the entrance of the cave was not very spacious, and the surface was covered with intricate vines and weeds swaying in the wind, it looked quite desolate.

However, beneath this desolate appearance, there seems to be an indescribable sense of security. Xu Xingchen took a deep breath and felt a faint fresh air overflowing from the cave, which made him more confident in his choice.

Xu Xingchen held the unconscious Mu Wanqing in his arms, and every step he took was extremely cautious and firm. He carefully pushed aside the dense vines and weeds in front of him as they went deeper step by step.

Those tangled natural obstacles were gradually left behind, and the mysterious world inside the cave slowly unveiled its veil. The scene before him made Xu Xingchen marvel inwardly.

The interior space of this cave is so vast and boundless, far beyond the narrow appearance seen from the outside. The top is soaring into the clouds, as if it is a dome carefully carved by the god of nature.

It looks solemn and has an indescribable sense of mystery. In this huge space, dozens of people standing side by side do not seem crowded at all, but instead add a bit of grandeur and heroism to the adventure.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, which were piled up layer by layer like a mark of time, recording the tranquility and serenity of the past years. They were soft when stepped on, and made a slight rustling sound.

What is surprising is that deep in the cave, there is a clear stream hidden. It flows quietly, and there are twinkling spots of light on the water. That is the result of moonlight shining through the cracks in the cave ceiling.

The water in the stream is not rushing, but rather gentle and soft, as if it is a gift specially prepared by nature for this quiet cave. The stream hits the rocks on the shore, making a pleasant sound of flowing water.

The sound is crisp, pleasant and melodious, echoing throughout the cave like the sound of nature. It not only breaks the silence and monotony here, but also adds a bit of vitality and vigor to this mysterious space.

When Xu Xingchen saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart. He quickly and gently hugged the unconscious Mu Wanqing, as if he was holding not one person in his hands.

But it was an extremely precious treasure. His movements were extremely gentle, for fear that the slightest bump would disturb this fragile woman. Finally, Xu Xingchen gently placed Mu Wanqing on the edge of a flat and warm rock.

Her delicate body was able to lean comfortably against the hard stone wall, as if it was her most solid support.

Next, Xu Xingchen did not delay for a moment and searched the cave carefully. With his sharp eyes and dexterous hands, he cleared out the messy rubble and weeds one by one until he came out with a clean and tidy place.

After finishing all this, Xu Xingchen walked to Mu Wanqing again. This time he picked her up from the rock more carefully, and then placed her gently and steadily in the place that had just been tidied up.

When Xu Xingchen gently put Mu Wanqing down, his movements were extremely delicate. He first carefully adjusted her body position to ensure that her head, back and limbs were properly placed.

Afterwards, Xu Xingchen carefully tidied up Mu Wanqing's messy hair. After finishing all this, Xu Xingchen did not immediately stop to rest for a while.

On the contrary, Xu Xingchen quickly walked out of the cave and began to look around for some dead branches and hay that could be used to make a fire. The environment outside might not be friendly with the cold wind and dark night, but for Xu Xingchen, this was no problem.

Finally, with Xu Xingchen's unremitting efforts, a blazing flame quietly rose in the deep cave. The flame was like a spark of life, which not only quickly dispelled the chill that permeated the icy cave.

The endless darkness illuminates the surroundings with warmth and brightness. The flames jump happily, flashing the light of hope. They seem to cheer for Xu Xingchen's persistence and courage, and also seem to be warming up for the coming light and warmth.

When Xu Xingchen sat down to rest, his eyes involuntarily fell on Mu Wanqing beside him.

In the soft glow of the firelight, Mu Wanqing's appearance appeared even more beautiful and extraordinary, like the clear halo at the rising of the crescent moon, fresh and unworldly; and as pure and flawless as snow piled on flowers and trees, making people yearn for it.

Her chin is slender and delicate, with smooth and graceful lines, as if it were the most exquisite sculpture of nature, and her cherry mouth is even more slender and dexterous. When it is slightly pursed, it shows a bit of shyness and reserve, but it cannot conceal her natural beauty and grace.

The name really suits him, "the water and trees are clear and elegant, graceful and clear."

At this moment, Mu Wanqing looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, so beautiful that it made people's heart beat fast.

Xu Xingchen looked at the beauty in front of him, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
