Chapter 428: The Shadow Guard
In the blink of an eye, the high platform that Wu Song had worked so hard to build turned into a pile of scattered wood.
After the black shadow destroyed the wood, he continued to pursue Wu Song.
Wu Song ran towards the cave as he picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the black shadow.
This dark shadow is a black liquid that can switch between hard and soft at will. It can be as hard as a rock to knock a high platform down, or as soft as flowing water, avoiding Wu Song's attacks.
At the same time, it can also be transformed into a variety of weapons.
Wu Song was running away, and the black shadow turned into a black arrow and shot at him.
The arrow grazed Wu Song's right leg, leaving a deep wound on his leg.
Wu Song let out a painful cry and fell to the ground.
The shadow quickly approached, turning into a spear.
"Wu Song, is that you?"
At this time, Yun Rong suddenly appeared. Wu Song had already fled to the cave before he knew it. Hearing movement outside, Yun Rong came out.
"Yunrong, you go in quickly, it's dangerous here. ”
Wu Song shouted to Yun Rong.
"Ahh
Seeing Yun Rong, the black shadow let out a low sound, and then threw down Wu Song and flew towards Yun Rong with a black spear.
"Bastard!"
Wu Song rose up with all his strength, grabbed ahead of the black shadow, and blocked Yun Rong.
The next moment, the spear pierced through Wu Song's chest and came out from behind.
Wu Song let out a loud shout and smashed his fist on the black shadow. The combined force of the Celestial Elephant Fist and the Innate Divine Power struck a shockwave, and the black shadow was impacted and temporarily forced back.
Wu Song spurted out a large mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground weakly.
Although Yun Rong is blind, she has a sharp mind and has already guessed what happened.
"Wu Song, why don't you avoid it?"
Yun Rong held Wu Song's head, his voice full of incomprehension and heartache.
"For you, I'm willing to do anything, and a life is nothing. ”
Wu Song felt pain all over his body, but he was smiling, just because Yun Rong cared about him.
His vision blurred, and Yun Rong's face began to dissolve, and finally left him like a ray of light.
The black shadow regrouped and divided into several paths, each of which turned into a sharp black spear and shot at Yun Rong and Wu Song.
Suddenly, a golden light burst out, drowning everything in front of the cave.
By the time the golden light had dissipated, the shadow had disappeared without a trace. Yun Rong fainted and fell to the ground, next to Wu Song, who was injured and unconscious.
An hour later, Yun Rong woke up. She was not injured, Zhou's body was intact, and it was unknown why she fainted.
She took Wu Song back to the cave, applied him herbs, and bandaged his wounds.
A day later, Wu Song finally woke up from his coma.
During this period, Yun Rong has been staying by Wu Song's side, and he has not entered the rice.
The first picture Wu Song saw after waking up was Yun Rong sitting on the edge of the bed, carving a statue. The statue appears to be a person, stepping on clouds and flying in the wind.
Wu Song originally thought that he and Yun Rong would definitely die, but he didn't expect the two of them to survive, and he was surprised and happy in his heart.
"Yunrong?"
Wu Song called softly.
"You're awake? great, I'm afraid you'll never wake up. ”
Hearing Wu Song's voice, Yun Rong almost cried with joy, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Wu Song was greatly moved, gently held Yun Rong's hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, I will take you out of here, before that, I will never die." ”
"I've been thinking about it all the time you've been in a coma, and I've decided, when you're healed, we'll leave here together. Yun Rong said.
"Really?!Yunrong, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Wu Song was excited, and all the pain was thrown out of the clouds, and he sat up directly from the bed.
"It's true, lie down and don't touch the wound. Yun Rong noticed that Wu Song sat up, worried about his injury, and hurriedly said.
"Good, good, haha, haha. Wu Song listened to Yun Rong's words and lay back on the bed, unable to help laughing because of ecstasy.
Yun Rong also smiled, and there was a warm thing flowing in his heart.
She can't say that she doesn't have a good impression of Wu Song, and in her lonely life, Wu Song's appearance has brought her a lot of joy. But this joy is too small compared to the fear of the outside world.
Wu Song was right before, Yun Rong didn't believe that he could rely on him after he went to the outside world.
It wasn't until Wu Song sacrificed his life to save Yun Rong during the attack of the black shadow that Yun Rong changed his opinion, so he was willing to leave here with Wu Song.
Wu Song's injury this time was not light, if the black shadow's attack was a little more off, his heart would be directly stabbed.
Fortunately, Yun Rong's herbs are extremely curative, and after four or five days of cultivation in addition to Wu Song's physical fitness in the middle stage of the refining realm, Wu Song's injuries are no longer serious, and Yuan Li has also recovered three or four layers.
After Wu Song recovered from his injuries, he couldn't wait to devote himself to the work of rebuilding the high platform.
This time his motivation is even greater than before, and he doesn't sleep endlessly, if it weren't for Yunrong forcing him to eat and rest, I'm afraid he would have exhausted himself to death.
A few days later, the platform was erected.
But this is only one step, and the most critical question is whether there is still a dark shadow in the river, and if so, how to solve it.
How exactly did the two escape from the black shadow last time, Wu Song still has no answer. He didn't know exactly what the black shadow was.
In the previous encounter, Wu Song felt that the black shadow was a creature, but it was obvious that it was neither a human race nor a demon race. Both races have a fixed form, and the Shadow is a mass of black liquid.
In the lifting of the black shadow, Wu Song could sense that the power in its body was the same as the power on the stone wall surrounding this out-of-this-world place.
From this, it can be inferred that the Black Shadow is also part of this prison, responsible for guarding the river and preventing the people inside from escaping.
The power of the black shadow is very strong, and with Wu Song's current cultivation, he is not its opponent. If the two want to escape, they can only outwit.
After building the high platform, Wu Song did not rush into the river, but carefully observed the situation in the water.
From the last experience, there is an undercurrent in the river, and when a person enters it, he will be carried away by the undercurrent to a distant place.
After three days of observation, Wu Song found that there was not only one undercurrent in the river, but two.
The flow direction of the two undercurrents is exactly opposite, and the two undercurrents usually appear alternately without interfering with each other. But every three days, two undercurrents appear at the same time, colliding somewhere in the river, forming a whirlpool.
At this time, the river becomes chaotic, the river is agitated, and the creatures in the river are shattered by the chaotic flow of the river.
Yun Rong said that every once in a while, some shells, small fish and other things would fall from the heavenly rivers, and this was the reason.
Wu Song had carefully studied the vortex, it was a structure under the head and feet, the head was close to the outer world, and the bottom was close to the outside world.
In other words, as long as you jump into the vortex, then you are likely to be swept to the bottom and return to the outside world.
This conjecture is too bold, and the slightest mistake can lead to death without a place to be buried. Because this operation still has Yun Rong, Wu Song does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.
He thought about each step countless times until he was sure that nothing had been overshadowed before he finalized the action.
The vortex is produced every three days, and there is one day left before the next one.
Wu Song asked Yun Rong to clean up, because after leaving here, he might never come back.
But Yun Rong thought about it and didn't take anything in the end. Although he has lived here for twenty years, he is like a traveler and has not left anything important here.
Wu Song said that this is just right, so that she can start a new life when she is outside.
When it was finally time to leave, Wu Song and Yun Rong came to the high platform. In order to prevent the two from being swept away by the current, Wu Song tied a rope around the wrists of the two.
"Go, take a deep breath. ”
Wu Song said to Yun Rong.
Yun Rong inhaled deeply, and then grabbed Wu Song tightly.
Wu Song picked up Yunrong and jumped into the river.
The whirlpool was more than thirty meters away from the two, and Wu Song struggled to swim there.
Halfway through the swim, a dark shadow emerged from the river and swam towards the two of them. Soon, the black shadow caught up with them, and a black arrow came out of its body.
Wu Song had already prepared, took out the stone dagger he had made in advance, and threw it vigorously.
Under Wu Song's strange power, the dagger was not affected by the current of water at all, and hit the arrows straight away.
The two sides collided, the dagger shattered, and the arrow turned into a puff of black smoke.
At this time, the two were only a few meters away from the vortex. Under the power of the vortex, the two of them rotated with the vortex. Wu Song let go of Yun Rong and pushed her into the vortex.
Yun Rong soon entered the inside of the whirlpool, and with her traction, Wu Song also quickly moved closer to the whirlpool and followed into the whirlpool.
As he expected, after entering the vortex, the two were swept to the bottom.
At the bottom of the vortex is the other side of the river, the underground cavern of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
The underground cave became clearer and clearer, Wu Song saw the right time, hugged Yun Rong, and rushed out of the water.
It was pitch black on the water, and then the faint light in the river showed that there was a river bank not far away, and a few meters above the head was a mountain wall.
Wu Song swam to the bank of the river, first sent Yun Rong ashore, and then went up again.
"Yunrong, we're back in the outside world!"
Wu Song didn't care if the two of them were wet, hugged Yun Rong, and cheered.
"That's great, Wu Song, you're not hurt, are you?"
At the time of the black shadow attack just now, Yun Rong also noticed that at this time, she was more concerned about Wu Song's situation than successfully returning outside.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Come, let's go. ”
Wu Song picked up Yunrong, took her hand, and walked along the riverbank.
The two of them made their way up the river bank and trudged through the dark cavern.
I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly Yun Rong said, "There is a voice in front." ”
Wu Song listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a regular percussion sound. The two walked more than twenty meters forward, turned a corner, and a bright fire appeared in front of them.
A group of monsters were busy working, and they were carrying large stones and piling them on the river, as if to cut off the river.
