NTR: Choice Based System

Ye Yang and Hell ventured into the hidden passageway. The air was cool and damp, the only sound the soft echo of their footsteps. As they delved deeper, the passageway widened, revealing a hidden cavern.

Hell examined the cave, "It's not natural but made by someone, and it looks quite old, at least a thousand years old."

Ye Yang went deeper into the cave and saw an illuminated object in the distance. He approached cautiously, wary of possible traps, but Hell's words reassured him, "Go on, I've checked. There's no trap here, just another scroll."

As Ye Yang reached the illuminated light, he found it was an artifact with some bugs stored on it, which emitted the light.

Hell explained, "If this thing is here, then these bugs were placed here recently. They'll die within a week after being captured, and until then, they'll illuminate a light as a signal to call others."

Ye Yang nodded and picked up the scroll, placing it under the light. "Let's see what's in it."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He opened it, "It seems the Fourth Young Master is talented and better than the rumours suggest. This scroll contains another message, but it can't be deciphered unless you use Yang Lizard blood on it. Consider this the final task before you join the training camp, as the hidden message is the real map of the training camp. We are waiting for you."

"Another puzzle, huh? Can't you decipher what's hidden in this scroll?" he asked Hell, who shook his head. "It's not something I can do in my current condition. Don't waste your time here. Let's find the Yang Lizard."

Ye Yang nodded and exited the cave. "So, where can we find one?"

Hell pondered, "If it's a Yang beast, then we have to find a place where Yang energy is damp. Check it on the map."

Ye Yang pulled out the map, his eyes scanning the intricate lines and symbols. "There's a place marked as the 'Yin Pool' to the north. It's said to be a place of immense Yin energy, a stark contrast to the Yang energy that a Yang Lizard would seek."

"But there's a Yang Pool beside it, which is unique in its own right. The Yang and Yin Pools together," Hell added, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "It's a rare occurrence, a balance of opposing forces."

Hell nodded; his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Let's go. We'll definitely find a Yang Lizard around it."

The journey to the Yin-Yang Pools was arduous, fraught with treacherous terrain and high mountains.

They had to travel much further north from their current location. They traversed dense forests, scaled perilous cliffs, and forded rivers streams, each step bringing them closer to their elusive goal.

As they neared the Yin Pool, the air grew colder and the landscape more desolate.

The once vibrant hues of nature were replaced by a monochromatic palette of grays and blacks. A chilling wind howled, carrying with it a warning of its own.

Finally, they reached the Yin Pool. It was a deep, dark chasm, its waters as black as ink. A thick, oppressive fog clung to the surface, obscuring the depths below.

"This is it," Hell murmured, his voice barely audibles over the wind. "Now let's see where the Yang Pool is."

Hell pointed towards a mountain, "Look there, seems like we have to cross that mountain to reach the Yang Pool."

Ye Yang started moving towards the mountain, his impatience growing. It was already the fourth day of his journey, and he was worried about Aunt Ya's safety. He was certain the Training Head would try something, and he had to stop it. But to do that, he needed to find the location of the training camp.

Hell warned, "We're lucky we haven't been attacked by any Yin beasts, as they can sense my energy. But Yang Beasts are different. They're berserk in nature and will attack you until you prove you're stronger."

With that, he jumped from Ye Yang's arms and transformed into a massive, black, wolf-like creature. "Come on," he growled.

Ye Yang nodded and jumped onto the creature's back, holding on tightly. Hell, then started moving towards the Yang Pool, his powerful strides carrying them swiftly through the treacherous terrain.

Suddenly, a monkey with striking red stripes, a clear sign of a Yang Beast, leaped towards Ye Yang. Before he could react, Hell's aura erupted, sending the monkey flying like a leaf in a storm. The monkey crashed into a nearby tree, lifeless.

"I'll handle the rear," Hell growled, his eyes flashing with power. "You go ahead and find the Yang Lizard."

Ye Yang nodded, his heart pounding with adrenaline. With renewed determination, he climbed higher, his eyes scanning the surrounding area for any sign of the elusive creature.

Ye Yang, armed with a specially crafted spear, cautiously approached the pool's edge. He cast a line into the murky depths, hoping to lure the creature out.

As he waited, he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. The silence was broken only by the soft lapping of the water and the distant howling wind.

Suddenly, a colossal shadow emerged from the depths. A massive, reptilian creature, its scales shimmering with an otherworldly glow, lunged towards Ye Yang. The creature's jaws snapped shut, missing Ye Yang by a hair's breadth.

Ye Yang, quick on his feet, dodged the attack and counterattacked with his spear. The battle was fierce, a clash of man and beast.

The Yang Lizard, enraged, unleashed a torrent of energy, but Ye Yang managed to deflect the attack.

Hell roared, and a surge of black energy flowed into Ye Yang. "You have only 60 seconds," Hell warned.

Ye Yang felt a strange energy coursing through his veins. He stopped running and approached the beast, trying to confront it with his spear. Despite its massive size, the creature was surprisingly agile.

The Yang Lizard, enraged, lunged forward, its massive jaws snapping at Ye Yang. The air crackled with raw power as the two of them clashed.

Ye Yang, fuelled by Hell's energy, parried the attack, his spear shimmering with a dark, ominous glow.
