Chapter 13: Day 3 (II)
"Are you blind? Won't a dog kick you away if you bite you?"
Duan Qianyan put the sword back into its sheath, walked up to Xiao Xue, and flicked it at her head.
"That's not a dog. Xiaoxue replied subconsciously.
has just lived the rest of her life, and the first thing she said was to correct the other party's speech disease, not because she was delirious and her brain was pumping, it was really due to habit. The previous mode of getting along with this man was unconsciously manifested when he appeared in front of him, and he couldn't control it.
After Duan Qianyan heard this, he also carefully observed the "dog" whose head was cut off by himself, nodded and said, "Well, the dog does not have horns, this is the legendary cunning." ”
Xiaoxue doesn't know what to say, there are many questions since his appearance, but the biggest question is that now is the time for you to leisurely observe the difference between the cunning and the dog?
There was no time to waste, Xiaoxue grabbed his hand and ran.
It's just a cunning one, and there's a group behind it.
While escaping, Liu Changnan asked, "Why are you here?"
Duan Qianyan thought that Xiaoxue was running slowly, picked her up and ran, and replied: "I heard that there is a life-saving spirit grass here, come and see." ”
Liu Changnan frowned, "Yunnan is also infected with the plague?"
Duan Qianyan said: "No. ”
Liu Changnan was puzzled, "How did you know that Linglincao is here?"
Duan Qianyan smiled: "I heard about it, but I didn't expect that there would be cunning here, look at your embarrassed appearance, it's been a bloody battle for a long time, it's almost gone." ”
"And the strength to run for your life. Xiaoxue muttered.
"That's good, if you faint to death one by one, don't I have to carry you back and forth, then I will die of exhaustion. ”
“.......”
During the conversation, the sly swarm roared higher and higher, but fortunately, the exit appeared ahead, and they could leave soon.
.......
There is only one entrance to the tooth-devouring cage, and naturally there is only one exit, and that small iron gate is their only hope of escape, their "life-saving benefactor", as long as they go out and close the door, they will be safe.
When the hope of life brought them great joy, the attentive Liu Changnan found a problem that once again drove them to the bottom of despair.
"This door can only be locked from the inside. Liu Changnan said.
Everyone was stunned for a long time and expressed disbelief, Liu Changnan showed them and explained: "This kind of lock is double-sided, with a lock hole on the outside and inside, which means that there are two keys to open and lock. I don't know who designed the ghost thing, the key to close the door is tied to the lock, and it is clearly to tell the person who goes out that this cage is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out. ”
There is a large square iron block on the iron door, carved with cumbersome patterns, as Liu Changnan said, a keyhole outside the door, a keyhole in the door, the door Li hung a wide key about two feet long with an iron wire, full of brown embroidery, black and red, it looks like it has been hanging for a long time.
Liu Changnan continued: "Although we don't know if the key to open the door is in the Pirate King's hands, the door was unlocked when we came, which means that the door was closed from the outside. It's a pity that it wasn't found outside at that time. "If they do, will they come in? Probably he couldn't even answer the question himself.
Wan Qian said angrily: "Which of the eight grandsons of the king came up with a trick! I can only close the door from the inside, isn't this going to trap people to death!"
Liu Changnan said: "Actually, it should be thought that there will be such a design, here is the iron cage where the Pirate King chooses the next successor." ”
What kind of cruel selection method was tried for the birth of the pirate kings in the past, these people have heard a little, and once said two ridiculous sentences disapprovingly, and they really realized how cruel this is when they have experienced it themselves. How sad it must be to be locked in a cage to fight people, to fight cunning, and to overcome the fear of confinement, even if you survive death, only to find that the door you have closed with your own hands cannot be opened from the inside.
They all looked at the iron gate, as if they saw the old pirate king, in order to elect a successor, throw the young and strong men into the iron cage, force them to close the door from the inside, and then go through infighting, flee for their lives under the cunning teeth, crawl to the door with countless heads, and find that the door cannot be opened in despair...... It's chilling to think about it.
"It's cruel. Wen Ze slammed his foot on the door, ignoring the pain in his feet, and scolded angrily, "The Pirate King really sneered us, and deliberately didn't say these things just to trap us here, bastard! Sooner or later, he will be killed!"
Liu Changnan understood his atmosphere, but he still couldn't help but preach: "I said don't learn to swear with my sister, she is crazy, you are crazy." ”
Wen Ze gritted his teeth: "If you can go out if you go crazy, what if you go crazy once!"
Xiaoxue was frightened: "We really can't get out?"
"Whoever says they can't get out, the door is there, just go out. Liu Changnan appeased.
"However, the cunning group will also chase it out. "In that case, will they be able to escape the pursuit?
"There will be a way. Liu Changnan pondered for a moment, his face suddenly became solemn, and he made a decision that made everyone crazy. "You go first, I'll stay and close the door. ”
Xiaoxue was the first to object, "You're crazy!!"
The other people's faces changed drastically, and they disagreed with each other.
To say that to stay and close the door is to take the initiative to sacrifice yourself. Who would be stupid enough to sacrifice his life, only Liu Changnan is a fool.
"There is a way, we run fast, as long as we get out of the island and get on the boat, can we still chase it into the sea and bite people?" Xiao Xue grabbed his sleeve, afraid that this guy would do something stupid if he let go of his hand, although everyone was very sorry for their lives, but Xiao Xue knew that Anan was a man who dared to say and do, and he was definitely willing to give up his life in order to keep Aga alive. Just like when he was shipwrecked, he was willing to jump into the sea for his sister, so no matter what, she had to catch his life.
Liu Changnan wanted to comfort this girl who was anxious to cry, but the words turned around and changed into something else, he smiled and said: "With our only remaining physical strength, we can't outrun the cunning group, Duan Xiaowang has the strength, but he won't take us all out in a very short time." Only if I stay, you will have a chance to leave. ”
Xiaoxue's eyes widened, and her little face was puffed up to refute, but where would Liu Changnan give her a chance, using her usual gentle tone like when she was a child, she was disobedient, so he followed the temptation: "You have to understand, it is much better to live six than to die seven, and it is more cost-effective to die one than to die seven." If I could, I wouldn't want to, but the danger is imminent, and we have to make a choice, don't think it's cruel, it's cruel, but it's still good, at least you'll get out alive. ”
The words are very right, none of the people present have his courage, so naturally they cannot find a reason to oppose his decision.
But—"What about Wenwen?" Wan Qianyu asked.
That's right, and Wenwen.
Xiaoxue seemed to grasp a light in the darkness, and said anxiously: "My sister will never let you do this, if you dare to do it, I will tell my sister that you are not keeping your promise! You break your promise! She will not forgive you, even if you die!"
Hangul is the pillar of the family, even if she is very unreliable many times, everyone will revolve around her. Everything is centered on her, and the emperors of this world do not have as much influence on them as her. She doesn't agree with Anan's sacrifice, and Anan must live well.
Xiaoxue thinks so, Wen Ze thinks so, and the unconscious madwoman must think so, including Anan himself.
But even so, this time, Anan stuck to his choice.
Xiaoxue clearly saw the faint and almost transparent smile in his eyes that had not changed, and she felt something, knowing that moving out of her sister could not shake him. So she gritted her teeth, the sleeves of her clothes pulled by her fingers were deformed, and her knuckles were white, she didn't dare to let go, and pulled hard and tightened her bottom. It wasn't until a pair of warm hands held her, and without much effort, she brushed her hands off her sleeves, and she watched the sleeves float up, getting farther and farther away from herself, she screamed and cried, and reached out to grab it, but it got farther and farther away, and her back fell into a broad chest.
Anan threw her into Duan Qianyan's arms and said to everyone, "Let's go, don't waste time." ”
The cunning sounds in the cages were close enough to hear their open mouths for gasps, and everyone knew in their hearts that it was time to make a choice. Duan Qianyan didn't speak, hugged Xiaoxue who was struggling in his arms, nodded to Anan, and then turned around and walked out of the iron gate, this was the only thing he could do, and it was also the last promise to Liu Changnan - he would take Xiaoxue back alive.
Wen Ze was at a loss, looked at Liu Changnan in a daze, and did not move.
Liu Changnan glanced at him and smiled gently.
At this glance, Wen Ze shed tears, gritted his teeth and turned away angrily, leaving the cage with a heavy heart.
Wan Qiansu and Hongrao had already walked out of the door, for them, Liu Changnan was just a friend and a stranger, they were not as painful as Xiaoxue and Wen Ze, and when life and death were in danger, their lives would be far from the first.
Liu Changnan closed the door, locked the iron door with the key, and locked it in the huge iron cage with the cunning group.
The cunning flock has run out of the forest, rushing violently, the only human in the cage is more pitiful than a bird with broken wings, the world is too big to go anywhere, only obediently waiting for death.
Or in order to reduce the pain and fear, he could kill himself, but he didn't, he wanted to see everyone leave, but soon the idea could not be realized.
Xiaoxue was like a madman, Duan Qianyan's hands were dripping with blood and she struggled to escape from his embrace; she ran to the iron gate, slapped her hands on the iron gate, and cried: "I won't allow you to die! You dig it out! Liu Changnan, come out quickly! Why did you stay? Who allowed you? Who asked you to be a hero and a good person, I don't care what you are cunning, what should we do if you die?"
Liu Changnan sighed helplessly, "At this time, you are still in a child's temper, listen to me, this is the last time, and this is the only thing I can do for you." Run forward, don't look back, get out of here, Xiaoxue, be sad when you go home, okay? Remember, when you run for your life, run hard, don't look back, remember?"
"Fuck you uncle!" Xiaoxue scolded angrily, trying to get the damn key through the crack in the iron door, trying to open the door and fish people out. But how could the design door leave such a stupid hole, the gap was so small that it could only pass through a small bird and a stick, and no matter how slender she was, she couldn't wear it. She was sweating profusely, crying bitterly, crying and scolding, scolding her father and mother, and even scolding God several times.
The appearance of her shrew scolding the street scared everyone, and when she was angry and exploded crazy, everyone's hearts were grabbed, and blood was dripping from pain.
Liu Changnan laughed at this time.
"You're still laughing! You're going to die and you're still laughing!Are you just going to want to die?" Xiaoxue roared angrily, "Come out! Bastard! Get out of here, you damn man, even if you die, I'll beat you to death." ”
Liu Changnan shook his head with a smile, turned his head and walked in the direction where the cunning group was coming.
He didn't look like he was going to die, but like he was walking in his yard.
Xiaoxue was frightened, no longer scolding, kept banging the iron door, crying breathlessly, begging him: "Anan! Anan! Where are you going? When you come back, don't leave me." Please, didn't you say yes, we, let's go home together, how can you regret what you said. You liar, you go back on your word. ”
In the face of supplication and accusation, Anand paused for a moment, and then walked towards the end of death without hesitation.
Xiaoxue was at a loss, and shouted at him with all her might, he didn't look back, as usual, and told her in the gentlest tone: "Don't forget to bring a 'sorry' to Wenwen for me when you go back, thank you." ”
"Anan!!"
Xiaoxue has gone crazy, the blood of the two wounds is not only flowing and still banging on the iron door, a human strength, how to make a strong iron cage in winter, watching her family die, she can't accept it, even if she dies, she has to pull him out.
Duan Qianyan couldn't stand it anymore, so he carried her arrogantly and ran out of the island.
The cunning crowd surrounded Anan at this time, and she could no longer see him, she howled and cried, desperately rushing to the iron cage that separated the two worlds.
Duan Qianyan couldn't control her, Wen Ze came over to help, and the two took her out of this place together.
.......
The crying was getting weaker and fading, Anan could no longer hear anyone's voice, and now there were only two voices in the world surrounding him, one hunger and one death.
Cunning has been hungry for a long time, and they need to eat, eat like crazy to fill their empty stomachs. Although his small food can't be eaten by every cunning fighter, it can't fill its stomach, but it's better than not having to eat at all.
Watching them scramble to pounce on and bite their bodies, Anan looked at the rare piece of sky in the forbidden land, and grinned, thinking that the sky on the mainland was also so blue.
Then he closed his eyes, heard the sound of flesh and bone parting, smelled the smell of blood, was this what happened to being eaten? his world was sprinkled with scarlet, nothing else, nothing, even the pain was gone, and finally, the feeling was gone.
This is death.
He thought to himself at the last shred of sanity.
......
The sound that Anan could no longer hear, the others heard.
The sound of the iron cage reached the ears of the fleeing people far away, and although they thought that it was very terrifying for the beast to eat humans, they were still shocked to hear it with their own ears. They run faster, and if they want to run far, it is better not to hear the frightening sound at all.
Xiao Xue's eyes were cracking, and she stared at the cage that kept getting smaller in the distance, until the cunning group suddenly became agitated, and when the cunning voice was even louder, she completely collapsed, her cry was broken, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, and the corners of her eyes were no longer tears, but blood.
Anan died, and Anan was eaten. She heard the sly roar, the cry of revelry, the cheer of flesh and blood. Her anan was becoming food, and was turning into pieces of pork to be swallowed into the mouths of the beasts. She doesn't care what the beast eats, but that's Anan, Anan is not pork, not imported food!
There was an irrepressible rage in her chest, burning and her mind drained away. The blood in her whole body was burning, and her brain was swelled with many things, including fear, anger, resentment, and more pain. She hated cunning, hated the pirate king, hated Anan and hated herself.
If he hadn't come to Yama Island, would Anan not have to die, and if he hadn't promised Xiaoqi, would this not have happened.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
The heavy grief was like the sea drowning her, and there was something in the deepest part of her body that was moistened by the sea and was about to move, and the blood night against the current had gained a certain strength, and her exhausted spirit was suddenly unusually clear, and her eyes were still staring at the back, as if she saw a large herd of brutes pounce on Anan's body and gnaw at his flesh, and she hated it when she thought about it, and she wanted to slaughter them.
There was a click, very soft, so light that only he could hear the sound, and a certain chain broke.
Of the three talismans hidden in the depths of his body, one of them shone brightly, and a voice whispered in his heart: "Let's kill them, okay?"
All right?
All right.
Her voice was so bad that she couldn't speak, but it was amazing that she heard herself answer.
Kill them, kill the beasts who dare to eat people, and only by slaughtering them can she vent all her anger.
Duan Qianyan, who was carrying her, felt the subtle changes in her, worried that her grief would not be able to hold on to her and she would die, so she changed her posture and hugged her. When she faced herself, Duan Qianyan saw a wisp of pure black anger floating out of her eyebrows, thinking it was an illusion, and blinked, at this time, a silver needle as thin as light flew from the sky, shooting right at the center of her eyebrows, and the anger was gone, or it never existed;
Duan Qianyanzai looked at this familiar face carefully, thinking that he was dazzled just now, put aside his doubts, lowered his head and ran all the way.
......
On the top of a mountain as high as the sky, Biluo knelt on the ground, with a painful look on her face, and there was no rope on her body, but she was stiff and could not move.
She was banned, banned by a man, her consciousness was restricted, her hands and feet were bound.
The man who banned her was named Su Qing, who claimed to be the personal disciple of Star Emperor Taiyin. He looked at the undulating peaks at his feet with an expressionless face, and said, "You can't check this matter, it's against the will of heaven for you to secretly protect them from your grandfather this time." ”
Biluo looked up in shock, there were too many meanings in his words, like thunder falling on his head in turn.
How did he know her background?
Where did he guess the providence?
How did he know what she was going to do?
Unable to ask, an inexplicable and powerful fear pressed down on her heart, and she knelt on the ground, looking up at Su Qing humbly like an ant.
After a long, long time, the cunning group at the bottom of the valley stopped rioting, and she spoke: "If you don't let me save Liu Changnan, Wenwen will be sad." ”
"I know. Hearing the word Wenwen, a different look appeared on this man's face, "So I saved Xiaoxue." ”
"Are you saving that?" asked Biluo.
Su Qing glanced sideways at her, "If it weren't for me repairing the seal in her divine consciousness in time, with your current cultivation, would you be able to stop the power in her body from breaking through the seal?"
Biluo was silent.
Su Qing said: "Plague, cunning, these are not something that your race can manage, let alone within the scope of your interference. Tampering with the will of heaven will be punished by heaven, and you should thank me for saving your life. ”
"But. Biluo struggled in the providence, "Even if it doesn't, let me protect his body, even if it is good to snatch back a bone from his cunning mouth, at least let me have an explanation for Wenwen." ”
Su Qing sneered, "What's the use of the body when people are dead, do you want her to hold a bone and miss the dead?"
"You!"
Biluo wanted to kill people in his tone, did he humiliate the dead so much? It was Liu Changnan who was eaten alive by the beasts, and after Wenwen learned this tragic news, he might be furious, and destroying Yan Luo Island might not necessarily dissipate her anger.
Su Qing seemed to understand Biluo's inner thoughts, and said lightly: "This bit of grief, if she can't handle it, what else can she do in the future." ”
"What do you mean, what else is going to happen?" Biluo couldn't figure out what this man was thinking, and he heard something in his words.
Su Qing looked at the distant addition, where the sky and the sea were connected, the clouds were driven by the wind, drifting into the sea, and the sun high above was about to set in the sea, and it was almost dark.
He brushed the long sleeves embroidered with prosperity, his movements were casual and brisk, like brushing off dust, and the wide sleeves swept over Biluo's head, and then her ban was lifted.
Biluo was shocked again and was dumbfounded.
How strong is it to be able to exert power in every movement and stillness.
She didn't dare to underestimate this man, and was even a little afraid.
"Go back, she's calling you. Su Qing said a strange sentence coldly.
"What?" Biluo looked dazed, and soon, she understood what she meant. Wenwen is calling himself, and it is still that kind of compulsion.
