Chapter 278: Escape from Death
The extinction gold-eating ants are afraid of water, and although the cold underground river with a cold atmosphere is dangerous, it is the only way out for Lu Xiao and Zhang Tingting at this time.
Seeing Lu Xiao's movements, Zhang Tingting was taken aback, the cold river full of cold and cold air, Zhang Tingting, the direct victim, knew its power. However, at this time, Lu Xiao wanted to jump into the river with himself, what made Lu Xiao so crazy.
But before Zhang Tingting, who was very puzzled, opened her mouth to ask, she knew the reason why Lu Xiao did this.
As the princess of the hermit, although Zhang Tingting has never seen extinct gold-eating ants, from some ancient books in the hermitage, Zhang Tingting has seen some introductions to extinct gold-eating ants.
But with such a big size and so many extinct gold-eating ants, Zhang Tingting is definitely the first time to see it. If it weren't for Zhang Tingting, who is a female man, she would not be afraid of these knuckle insects, if she had replaced a gentle woman like Li Muwan, it is estimated that she would have vomited a lot by now.
At this time, Zhang Tingting felt as if even the air had solidified, Lu Xiao seemed to be stuck with countless viscous air every step he ran, and those gold-eating ants that covered the sky and the sun seemed to be equipped with accelerators, approaching the two of them little by little. Zhang Tingting could see the disgusting pair of wriggling tentacles of the extinct gold-eating ants at this time.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! Now Zhang Tingting is nervously hugging Xiaobai and Ah Zi, her heart beating rapidly.
It's close!
It's closer!
The extinct gold-eating ants who were far from the two of them were much closer to them, and Zhang Tingting seemed to see the cruel smile in the countless compound eyes of those extinct gold-eating ants.
"Babble!" At this time, the fastest extinction gold-eating ant finally approached Lu Xiao, and soon wanted to bite off a piece of meat on Lu Xiao's back, at this time, Zhang Tingting had already nervously grown her mouth, but Lu Xiao still didn't know the impending danger behind her.
At this critical moment, I don't know if it was because of the breakthrough of the Heavenly Machine Book Qi Character or the influence of that blue substance, Lu Xiao suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and instinctively accelerated again and rushed out a few meters at once.
"Click!" With a bang, the jaw of the fastest extinct gold-eating ant closed, but instead of biting Lu Xiao, it almost knocked off its mouthparts.
Hearing the voice that had just come from behind him, Lu Xiao knew that in this short escape distance of less than twenty seconds, he had escaped for the time being.
Lu Xiao clenched his teeth, the anaerobic breathing necessary for high-speed movement made Lu Xiao's whole face redden, but Lu Xiao didn't dare to slow down at all, as long as he was slightly delayed by these extinct gold-eating ants for a second, he and Zhang Tingting would probably turn into two skeletons.
Sweat fell to the ground mercilessly, the gold-eating ants covering the sky and the sun were already approaching Lu Xiao and the others, Zhang Tingting's heartbeat was about to stagnate at this time, her eyes looked at the extinct gold-eating ants that were already close at hand, and watched them open their jagged upper and lower jaws, Zhang Tingting seemed to smell a foul smell in their mouths.
"Whoosh!" At this critical moment, when the two of them were about to be swallowed by gold-eating ants, Lu Xiao held Zhang Tingting in his arms and used all his strength to complete an incredible acceleration again, and the whole person successfully rushed into the icy river in an instant.
"Poof!" With a bang, Lu Xiao and Zhang Tingting made a splash after being like water.
"Babble!" Seeing the food slipping through their mouths like this, hundreds of millions of extinct gold-eating ants all screamed in dissatisfaction.
"Poof!"
"Whew!"
After nearly half a minute, Lu Xiao and the others, who were flowing down the turbulent river, showed their heads out of the river, spit out the river water in their mouths, and breathed in the fresh air.
Zhang Tingting is not like Lu Xiao, who has true qi and martial arts, and her physical fitness is only stronger than that of ordinary people, even if she has just gone through the baptism of yin and yang on her body, but now she is still unable to withstand the extremely cold breath in the river, and her whole body has begun to tremble.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao has always hugged her tightly and tried to use his weak body temperature to warm Zhang Tingting. To the surprise of the two people, the two strange beasts, Xiaobai and Ah Zi, were a bit like power banks in the icy river water, which could emit a little warmth to resist the icy cold.
Although the two of them took advantage of the characteristic of the extinct gold-eating ants to be afraid of water, they temporarily got rid of the tragedy of the extinction of the gold-eating ants. But they are still facing another problem, that is, how to get ashore from the river.
Since all of the mutated extinct gold-eating ants had the ability to fly short distances, the two of them held their breath underwater for nearly half a minute. When they temporarily got rid of the crisis and were about to go ashore, they found that the speed of the current at this time was no longer something that they could move freely in it, even if Lu Xiao wanted to drift diagonally and slowly towards the shore with the current.
If Lu Xiao was alone, he might still be able to hold on for a while. But Zhang Tingting, whose physical fitness is only a little stronger than ordinary people, can't resist the erosion of the cold air no matter what.
Looking at Zhang Tingting, whose eyes were already a little blurred at this time, the hands holding Xiaobai and Ah Zi were already a little relaxed, her face was pale and her lips were purple, and her whole body was still trembling, Lu Xiao wrapped her waist tightly with both hands, and in the turbulent river, she could only gently bump Zhang Tingting's cheeks with her head, and encouraged her: "Tingting!" Hold on, we're almost there, and you can't fall asleep. ”
Lu ...... Brother Lu! I...... I listen to you, I ...... No...... Don't sleep! Zhang Tingting, whose teeth were chattering in the upper and lower rows, said to Lu Xiao firmly.
"That's right! That's it! If you keep talking to me, you won't be able to sleep! Lu Xiao continued to give Zhang Tingting generous encouragement, and at the same time, he still tried to get closer to the shore again and again.
Although Zhang Tingting was about to be frozen, and although her body's reaction was extremely slow, the consciousness in her mind was still relatively clear. She clearly knew that with the magic of Xiaobai and Ah Zi, it should not be a problem to escape from here.
As for Brother Lu, if he didn't have this burden of his own, if he could keep the calories in his body from being distributed to himself, it shouldn't be a problem to reach the riverbank with his ability to escape this catastrophe.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tingting suddenly made a decision in her heart.
She put Xiaobai and Ah Zi on Lu Xiao's shoulder with her trembling arms, and then said to Lu Xiao sincerely with a trembling voice: "Lu ...... Big brother, know you...... That's nice! If...... There will be ...... later Chance, please help me...... Take care of it...... Hidden! Farewell! ”
The moment Zhang Tingting finished saying this, her hands also put on the big hands with temperature that Lu Xiao was hugging her, and broke them outward......
When Zhang Tingting said the parting words that were like life and death, Lu Xiao felt that she was wrong. Then Zhang Tingting's movements confirmed Lu Xiao's judgment even more, when Zhang Tingting's hand just touched his arm, Lu Xiao did not hesitate to slap Zhang Tingting's small nose is a hammer.
The bridge of the nose is a relatively weak link in the human body, and if it is hit hard, it will produce a series of symptoms such as dizziness, nasal soreness, tearing and numbness all over the body at the same time.
Lu Xiao's hammer mastered the power very skillfully, which would not really hurt Zhang Tingting but could interrupt her thoughts.
When Lu Xiao's headhammer hit the bridge of Zhang Tingting's nose, Zhang Tingting only felt a sore nose, tears flowed down instantly, and her whole head was dizzy.
"You stupid girl! What a stupid thing to do! Are you so irresponsible that you are worthy of the hermit people who are waiting for you to save? Lu Xiao roared at Zhang Tingting in Zhang Tingting's ear while resisting the erosion of the icy river water.
Lu ...... Big brother, I'm ...... I just want to ......" Zhang Tingting was a little aggrieved and wanted to explain, but Lu Xiao interrupted directly.
"You stupid girl wants to fart! You think you're a burden to me with your little body! Stay for me honestly, think about the father who loves you, think about the people who have been suffering, and the hateful Xuanyuan Ping! Lu Xiao scolded Zhang Tingting for a few words and then kept silent.
After all, Lu Xiao's roar just now was to make Zhang Tingting dispel the idea of suicide, but if she didn't shut up at this time, a lot of heat in her body would drain, causing Lu Xiao's physical strength to be exhausted in advance, so after shouting at Zhang Tingting as necessary to warn her, Lu Xiao closed his mouth in time.
In fact, for Zhang Tingting's desire to commit suicide for her own sake, regardless of life and death, Lu Xiao is very grateful and appreciative of this kind and stubborn little girl. Because what Zhang Tingting thought of was indeed the truth, if there was no Zhang Tingting, Lu Xiao could indeed maintain a certain amount of heat and save a certain amount of physical strength.
However, if a kind little girl is allowed to die for herself in her arms, then he Lu Xiao will not have to go out to mix anymore.
Hearing that Lu Xiao, who has always given himself the image of his big brother, would reprimand himself so mercilessly, and did not hesitate to give himself a gavel when he committed suicide. Zhang Tingting, who was relieved, asked in a weak whisper: "Won't I really be a big burden?" Her voice was so small that she didn't even hear it, let alone Lu Xiao.
Fortunately, with this little episode just now, Zhang Tingting will no longer be hot-headed.
After listening to Lu Xiao's reprimands just now, Zhang Tingting also thought of her own clansmen at this time, and thought of her parents who loved her deeply. If Zhang Tingting is allowed to pluck up the courage to commit suicide again, it will be absolutely impossible.
The turbulent river constantly moved downstream with Lu Xiao and Zhang Tingting, but the scenery on both sides of the river bank did not change much according to Lu Xiao's observation, and almost all of them were artificially excavated in a relatively regular manner.
"Whew!" As time went by, Lu Xiao at this time had already begun to gasp for breath, and Zhang Tingting was about to faint from the cold.
The more such a moment of crisis, the more lucid Lu Xiao's mind became. Lu Xiao could clearly feel the flow of heat in his body. If he hadn't been able to reach the whirlpool within two minutes, he Zhang Tingting would probably have frozen to death in the river.
However, the closer to the whirlpool of circulating water, the faster the flow speed of the river will be, and the flow speed that has caught up with the flood in the natural disaster is faster than the running sports car, and Lu Xiao, who is about to run out of physical strength, has no spare strength to move closer to the river bank
