Chapter 62: Extreme Pursuit

The Bird King's blood was corrosive, and I carried Xiao Yu up the pipe.

There were so many branches of the pipe that I walked for a while and found a "Y" shaped fork and drilled into it. I put Xiao Yu down with his back against the pipe wall, and I leaned back against the pipe wall behind me, and then sat down slowly. From beginning to end, I was facing Xiao Yu head-on, hiding my back firmly behind me, without letting Xiao Yu see the wound.

The Bird King's body didn't know what the structure was, and he didn't see a single internal organ, but there were so many criss-crossing white pipes. The material of this white pipe is also very special, it looks like a hard bone from a distance, but it looks like a kind of jade material up close, a little translucent, exuding a bit of cyan white light. But when you actually come into contact with it, you realize that these pipes are actually soft and elastic, and stepping on them is like stepping on a plastic runway.

I took out the dagger from the storage formation and stabbed it at the pipe at my feet. At first, it was clear that there was a resistance preventing the dagger from penetrating, but as the pressure on the dagger increased, the resistance had to give in. There was a muffled sound of "poof", like cutting the pigskin to protect the fresh meat, and then the dagger drove straight in, and there was no hindrance.

I drew my dagger, and the white pipes quickly closed together, leaving only a thin knife mark. After a few seconds, a hint of bright red slowly stained the knife marks. The bright red grew thicker and more intense, and eventually, it became a shallow stream that meandered to the pipe below.

Looking at the red stream that flowed farther and farther away, I retracted the dagger with satisfaction.

"Lolo. Xiao Yu called me softly. After a short break, her face was much better.

I hurriedly leaned over and asked with concern, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yu pulled my sleeve tightly, and wanted to cry: "Luo Luo, I hurt you......"

"Don't say that. I gently patted Xiao Yu's head and comforted, "When I first met you, you saved me. Besides, we are now companions in life and death, and there is no point in saying this. Xiao Yu, you just need to remember that we have to go down together whenever we want, and that's enough. โ€

I grabbed Xiao Yu's hand tightly, trying to convey my heart to her. Xiao Yu also held me back tightly, showing me her inner joy and excitement without reservation.

Xiao Yu nodded vigorously. Although her eyes were still full of tears, her eyes had gradually become firm: "I know, Lolo. โ€

As soon as the voice fell, the entire pipeline system vibrated again. I hurriedly inserted the dagger into the pipe with one hand to stabilize my body, and held Xiao Yu in my arms with the other.

"Poofโ€”โ€”!

A crack had opened in the pipe not far away, and red blood was pouring out like a shower, and it was about to spill over where we were.

I made a quick decision, grabbed Xiao Yu and ran forward.

Just then, a wind whistled. The black feathers actually rushed out of the pipe on the side!

Xiao Yu recited a spell, and a curtain of water blocked the feathers that were about to rush over in time. But the water curtain can play a limited role, and the black feathers spin wildly with the help of the evil wind, and it looks like it is about to break through the water curtain's defenses!

I quickly raised my hand and made a big cut in the pipe, and the blood of the Bird King suddenly flowed down like a waterfall, filling the gap after the water curtain was broken.

After Xiao Yu used the water curtain, he was suddenly exhausted, and the little blood on his face that had just recovered immediately subsided. I picked up Xiao Yu and ran forward with both legs. As he ran, he made a gap in the fork in the pipe behind him and on his side, leading blood to block the road.

But the white pipes go in all directions, and those feathers can always come out of nowhere. Coupled with the vibrations and cracks that appear from time to time, the escape journey of Xiao Yu and me is even more difficult.

I ran and ran, and I didn't know how long I had been running, I was already exhausted and out of breath.

No more......

If this continues, when I can't run anymore, Xiao Yu and I will have to die.

I secretly thought in my heart that I wanted to leave Xiao Yu in a safe place, and then go and drain the black feather myself. In this way, Xiao Yu can survive.

"Lolo. Xiao Yu in his arms tugged at my clothes and pointed to a certain place above my head. "There, there's something there. โ€

I looked up and sure enough, I saw a little black light flickering above my head. Although the black light is ominous, it has no meaning for us who are already exhausted.

What could be worse than where we are now?

Besides, danger often means opportunity. Although the black light is ominous, it may be a turning point for me and Xiao Yu!

Thinking about this, my legs suddenly filled with strength. Three steps and two steps, I ran along the pipe as fast as that black light. Soon, I ran out of the white pipe and came to a circular white hall.

The hall is only about three meters wide, not the traditional grand halls, but it is very wide compared to the narrow pipes. The hall resembles a semi-circular sphere with a flat floor and curved ceiling. Eight white pipes were connected to the walls of the hall, and Xiao Yu and I drilled out of one of them.

I put Xiao Yu on the ground, and immediately turned around and slashed hard at the exit of each pipe. It wasn't until the Bird King's blood completely obscured the exit that I was a little relieved to see the black light in the center of the hall.

In the center of the hall was a small platform, on which a black crystal the size of a ping-pong ball floated, and the black light emitted from it.

Xiao Yu looked at the black crystal, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Demon Pill?!"

"Demon Pill?"

Xiao Yu explained: "The spiritual non-human life form is transformed into a demon clan through cultivation. After the demon clan transforms, they will form a demon pill in their body, which is the source of their power and a part of their soul. โ€

I immediately overjoyed: "So, as long as we destroy this demon pill now, the Bird King will be finished?"

Xiao Yu nodded happily.

What a stroke of luck!

Originally, he was just running for his life like a headless fly, but he didn't expect to escape to the enemy's place as soon as he escaped, and he also saw the enemy's "heart", and the hope of victory was within reach.

Sure enough, danger often means opportunity!

I lifted my dagger and stabbed it at the black crystal!

Suddenly, the entire hall and the entire pipe system shook violently. It was as if there had been an earthquake of magnitude 8, and the whole ground rolled up and down like waves.

I held the platform tightly with one hand to stabilize my body, and with the dagger in the other hand I continued to exert myself. Eventually, with a crisp sound, the black crystals fell to the platform in fragments.

The shaking also stopped abruptly.

The pure white hall turned to powder, and a thick darkness invaded all sight. My body lost its support and fell towards the black abyss.

A malicious voice sounded in the darkness: "Hee-hee, it's funny......"
