As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun turned around at the same time and rushed towards the depths of the long rock path behind them!

"Roaring ——!"

Sure enough, at the same time as Jiang Yao and the two of them acted, the recovered dried corpse immediately roared and pounced on the two. Mu Jianyun's eyes lit up, and he turned around and flew out a dagger with his backhand, but this dagger was not aimed at the dry corpse, but flew towards the top of the rock wall above the dry corpse.

"Whoa......

The dagger accurately hit the crack in the rock at the top, knocking the already crumbling stone down, and smashing the dried corpse of the youkai manipulated by the "golem scale" below. As the dried corpses were shattered again, the "scale worms" scattered one after another, but they quickly gathered again and began a new round of restart.

"It won't take too long, let's go!"

Mu Jianyun said, ignoring the injuries on his feet, he pulled Jiang Yao up and ran all the way along the dark rock path, and it didn't take long for the two of them to find that there were two forks in the front of the fireworks reflected by the fireworks beads.

"Which way ...... the two roads!?"

Jiang Yao looked back at the dry corpse that was gradually chasing behind him, and asked anxiously.

"There is wind blowing out of both roads, which means that they are not dead ends......" Mu Jianyun looked at both sides and quickly made a choice. "There's no time to hesitate, let's go to the left!"

After speaking, the two of them rushed into the fork in the left side of the road in the gradually approaching "squeak".

"Roaring ——!"

The low roar of the dried corpse echoed behind Jiang Yao and the others, and it was obvious that the monster had also chased into this narrow fork in the road. Jiang Yao looked down at the blood-soaked gauze on Mu Jianyun's ankle, and noticed that Mu Jianyun was already drenched in cold sweat at this time, and his steps were getting slower and slower, as if the wound on his foot had collapsed.

“…… Jianyun, you go first, I'll follow later. ”

Jiang Yao suddenly stood still, turned to look at the approaching black shadow behind him.

"You're crazy!?You alone can't defeat those 'puppet insects!'" Mu Jianyun said anxiously. "If you get into the wound by those bugs, you'll be as ...... as those dried corpses"

"But it's not a way to keep running like this, we're going to catch up sooner or later. ”

Jiang Yao calmly looked at the dry corpse that was crawling closer and closer, and a huge claw phantom that seemed to be shrouded in his arm was gradually shrouded.

"My injuries are not very serious, even if I use mana for a short time, it shouldn't stimulate much blood, and besides, my 'fierce beast power' may be able to restrain those insects. You go!"

"But you still can't fully control the 'Beast Power', once you lose control, the consequences will be unimaginable!Do you want to break your qi veins again!?"

"Now it's just a gamble!"

"......"

"It's too late!"

"Pound!!"

When it was too late, a black shadow flew in front of Jiang Yao and the two, Jiang Yao gritted his teeth, and gravitationally waved his hand wrapped around the giant claw, and blasted towards the monstrous corpse that attacked.

"Rumble——!!

In an instant, the burst of dark purple lightning reflected this narrow passage like day, and the flowing energy was like a galloping python, engulfing the dried corpse in an instant.

"Squeak——!

In the fluctuation of scorching energy, I saw that the remains of the dried corpse were rapidly eaten away by the dark purple electric light, and even the hideous "scale" monster insects under the skin also let out a piercing scream in the burning of the dark purple electric light. It didn't take long for the corpses of the dried corpses to be gradually incinerated, and before they even had time to "restart" again, they were scorched to earth by the surging 'power of the beast' along with those strange insects, and scattered with the wind.

"Solution, solved ......?"

Seeing that the crisis was resolved so easily, Jiang Yao himself was a little overwhelmed for a while. He clutched his demonic chest and tried his best to control the breath in his body, but in this pungent smell of burning, Jiang Yao did not rejoice in the rest of his life, on the contrary, a strong uneasiness gradually permeated his heart.

"Squeak ......"

Sure enough, it was quiet for a few seconds, but the sound of rustling echoed over the long rock path again, but this time, the scale of the sound was far from what it had been before.

"Squeak...... Squeak ...... Boom ——!

"Is this!?" Jiang Yao looked up in disbelief as he looked at the ground that shook slightly under his feet.

One, two, dozens......

In the dim sight, I saw dozens of black shadows with the same black shadows as before appearing at the fork in the far end, swarming towards Jiang Yao and the two of them from far and near.

"Oh no, it must have been caused by the cries of those "puppet insects" just now!"

Mu Jianyun realized something in an instant, and his face suddenly changed.

"And this amount is ...... No, run!!"

This time, Mu Jianyun was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Jiang Yao again, he couldn't help but pull Jiang Yao up, and ran towards the depths of the rock road with the sharp pain on his feet!

"Squeak...... Squeak ......

The creepy crumble was like a dense colony of ants spreading from behind, and even though the two of them tried their best to keep running, they still couldn't stop the approaching black shadows. However, they soon found that the rocky passage in front of them seemed to have bottomed out, and a bluestone wall was visible in the light of the fireworks and beads.

"The one ahead is ...... Walls!?"

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Jiang Yao's heart suddenly cooled by half. If this passage is really a dead end, it is tantamount to being "caught in the urn" by the group of dried corpses in the rear, and I am afraid that I will really have to explain it here.

"No, no, it doesn't seem to be a 'wall'......" Mu Jianyun squinted his eyes slightly, and took two steps forward, only to see that the bluestone giant wall in front of him did not seem to completely block the rock road, but as if a stone door was half-closed from top to bottom, and the big stone that was erected at the bottom forced a gap about two feet high.

"There's still a way! Quick, through the gap below!"

Mu Jianyun's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a decision. And Jiang Yao was not ambiguous, and under Mu Jianyun's instructions, he stepped forward and leaned over to drill through the gap. And at this moment, the "creak" of the rear pursuit is getting closer and closer.

"'Evil Streamer'!"

Just after the two of them got into the other side of the stone gate, the sword qi in Mu Jianyun's hand flashed, and as a blue light swept by, the rock under the stone gate shattered in response to the sound and flew away towards the door!

"Bang!"

The stone door, which had lost its rock support, fell with a bang, blocking the dry corpses that were about to pounce on them. After the dust settled, Mu Jianyun finally couldn't support it anymore and sat down on the ground with a shaking.

"Are you alright!?"

Seeing this, Jiang Yao hurriedly ran forward and squatted down, but saw that Mu Jianyun's right foot had been soaked in blood, and the flowing blood was dripping to the ground, and Mu Jianyun's face was as white as paper under the blood loss and severe pain.

"This hurts ......!"

Jiang Yao uncovered the blood-soaked gauze on Mu Jianyun's feet, and saw the wound under the gauze that had cracked to the point of being miserable again, and couldn't help but regret that he hadn't noticed the severity of Mu Jianyun's injury earlier.

"You can't run anymore, your wound must stop bleeding immediately!"

"But if you don't hurry, this place will ......"

"I told you not to move!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but roar, looking up at Mu Jianyun's eyes. "Do you want to die here?"

"......" Mu Jianyun was stunned, he didn't expect that Jiang Yao, who had always had a peaceful personality, would also have a roaring time, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

“…… I'll stop the bleeding for you. As if realizing his gaffe, Jiang Yao lowered his head and looked away. "Trust me. ”

After speaking, Jiang Yao stretched out his hand, and as a golden inscription flashed from his palm, the phantom of a blonde boy gradually flashed around the two.

"Please, Nine Fangs. ”

Jiang Yao nodded slightly at the blonde boy's phantom, and the latter immediately pressed his hand lightly on the wound on Mu Jianyun's right foot as if he had received an order. As a golden spell light lit up, the injury on Mu Jianyun's ankle was gradually controlled, and Mu Jianyun's face became a little better.

“…… I almost forgot that you still have the 'Shikigami Power' that Mr. Jiuya gave you. Mu Jianyun looked at the phantom in front of him and smiled softly. "When you were injured just now, you originally wanted to use Mr. Nine Fang's power to treat yourself, right?"

"No...... You know, my cultivation level is not enough, even if I borrow the 'Shishen Power' of the Nine Teeth, I can only do some basic healing. ”

As if seeing the bitterness in Mu Jianyun's eyes, Jiang Yao hurriedly explained.

"Your treatment helped me a lot before, otherwise with my current state, I wouldn't have been able to summon Shikigami at all. Now I am standing here also because of your help, thank you so much. ”

"......" Mu Jianyun looked at Jiang Yao's serious face, seemed to be stunned, and after a while, he suddenly smiled.

"It's me who should say thank you, you...... Actually, you don't have to take care of my emotions all the time, I don't get angry because of this kind of thing. And ......"

Halfway through his words, Mu Jianyun suddenly looked away, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth again:

"Besides, you don't have to be so polite to talk to me, after all...... We're also ...... Friend...... Friends. ”

"......" heard that Mu Jianyun, who had always been unsmiling at himself and was so serious that he was almost rigid, actually said the word "friend" in his mouth, which made Jiang Yao speechless in shock. Seeing that Jiang Yao didn't react for a long time, Mu Jianyun's face couldn't help but flash a little uneasy and cramped, and he was entangled in his head.

"Well, I'm thinking too much, so you didn't say it......"

"No, I'm glad you can treat me as a friend, really. Jiang Yao came back to his senses, hurriedly opened his mouth, and said sincerely. "Actually, even if you don't say it, I'll already treat you as a friend. When we were born and died together in Yuanqiu Mountain, it was a lifelong friendship, wasn't it?"

"Friendship over life...... ......" Mu Jianyun's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart for no reason. Because he knew that the trip between him and Jiang Yao was not a "coincidence", and the "secret mission" that he was secretly instructed by his father could not be told to Jiang Yao.

"Since we are already partners in life and death, then you must also promise me not to force yourself anymore, especially when you are so seriously injured. ”

Jiang Yao said, tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes, and wrapped the wound on Mu Jianyun's foot that had been treated. And with the end of the treatment, the phantom of the Nine Teeth gradually disappeared into the darkness.

"The bleeding on your feet has stopped, and you should be fine walking, but you haven't healed yet, and you can't afford to toss it. If you need to fight, leave it to me. ”

“…… Thank you. Mu Jianyun looked at Jiang Yao's serious appearance, and he didn't want to say anything, so he slowly stood up with Jiang Yao's support, tried to move his ankle, and found that after the mana treatment of the nine teeth, the wound was no longer painful.

"Because of those dried corpses for a long time, it is estimated that there is not much time left until the next spatial collapse. ”

Jiang Yao said, turning to look behind. Compared to the previous long rock path, this rough passage behind the stone gate seems to be much wider. Through the glow of the fireworks, you can see that the fork in the road has reappeared in front of you, and the structure of the entire area is very similar to that of the labyrinth.

"This area is too complicated, I'm afraid it won't be able to be explored for a while. Jiang Yao said. "The man who entered this place before us must know more about this place than we do, and it would be nice if we could find him. ”

"But the question is, where the hell is that person......"

"Pop ......"

Before the words fell, Mu Jianyun's words suddenly stopped, and with the faint sound of footsteps, he saw a ghostly figure suddenly flashing at the fork in front of him.

"That'...... Is it ......!?"

Mu Jianyun and Jiang Yao glanced at each other in surprise, and in the face of such a coincidental scene, the two of them made the same reaction at the first time.

"It's that person!"
