Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Turning Point in a Desperate Situation
Under Ahab's selfish behavior, Jersey successfully stopped the golden scorpion.
The golden scorpion seemed to be very interested in the object above its tail spine, and stopped moving on, releasing Jersey's body back in front of its eyes.
Two thick front claws caught Jersey's head and one of his right legs, tearing them lightly.
Suddenly, blood stained the scorpion's whole body, and the golden light flashed with blood, adding a bit of horror.
Stuffing the corpse that had become a few pieces of Jersey into the small mouth, the golden scorpion slowly tasted it.
Although the golden scorpion behind him stopped and did not chase Ahab again, he did not dare to stop for a moment, and fled as fast as he could in his life.
Soon, however, his face changed, as the sound of a "rustle" was getting closer and closer, reminding him that some old friends had arrived.
When Ahab walked to the fork in the road where he had separated from Zhao Qi before, the dense crawling mummy in front of him stopped him.
After turning his head and seeing the golden scorpion behind him chasing after him, Ahadam immediately turned around and headed towards the passage on the left.
……
"Are you feeling better?" Zhao Qi patted Lily on the back and asked. The retching Lily didn't spit out anything except some yellow liquid because her stomach was already empty.
Stopping retching, Lily leaned weakly on Zhao Qi's body, unable to say a word.
After not eating for a day and a night, coupled with the fright just now, Lily had completely lost her ability to move, and at this time, she even needed Zhao Qi's help to stand up.
And at this very time.
"Rustling ......"
Louder and louder voices came from behind the two of them.
Zhao Qi's face changed, and he hurriedly turned his head, just in time to see that on the way to come, Ahab was frantically coming towards the two of them, and behind him. It is densely packed with mummies that I don't know how many, and the most terrifying thing is the chilling golden light not far away.
"This bastard actually lured them over." After Zhao Qi gritted his teeth and said a word, without much hesitation, he picked up Lily, who was almost unable to stand beside him, crossed the table of disgusting insects, and left forward.
……
"What's wrong?" The violent shaking made Lily in Zhao Qi's arms slowly sober up, and Zhao Qi, who was sweating profusely, asked.
"It's nothing, some old acquaintances are chasing us in the back." Zhao Qi, who was already about to reach the end of his physical strength, gasped and said to Lily, while turning his head to look behind him.
"Damn it." Ahab behind him was still closely following Zhao Qi. The speed of those mummies is not fast, but there are too many of them, and under the squeezing, the golden scorpion at the back has no way to increase its speed.
The fiery golden scorpion swung its two front claws, and instantly smashed several hapless mummies into a mess of rotten flesh.
The golden scorpion's casual wave caused Zhao Qi's eyes to shrink for a while.
"It's absolutely invincible, at least my current situation is absolutely unbeatable." Tightening the Lily in his hand, Zhao Qi's speed increased again.
"Zhao Qi, you put me down, you can definitely leave here alone." Lily, who was held in her arms, naturally saw the situation behind her. said to Zhao Qi with a calm face.
"Don't worry, we can both get out." Large droplets of sweat fell from Zhao Qi's head.
"If I hadn't forced you to come here, you wouldn't have suffered such a thing, I'm sorry!" Lily's tears slowly streamed down her face. Full of guilt.
"If you don't tell me, I'll come over myself, so there's no need to feel guilty." What Zhao Qi said was true. As long as Zhao Qi gets the news, even if there is no Lily, he will come and explore this "first pyramid" alone.
As for Lily. In several intersections, Zhao Qi also began to slowly fall in love with this brave Canadian girl, this kind of love is not the kind of relationship between men and women, but a kind of relationship between friends.
Zhao Qi is also a selfish person, he will not care about the life or death of irrelevant people, but for friends, Zhao Qi will never abandon him.
Zhao Qi, who was already about to reach his limit, suddenly saw a huge stone gate in front of him.
Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, and the speed that had reached the limit increased again, and he quickly came to the front of the stone gate.
"I hope this stone door opens the same way." Zhao Qi prayed silently in his heart, holding Lily with one hand, and quickly rotating the torches on both sides of the stone gate by three hundred and sixty degrees with the other.
"Boom......" The stone door slowly opened, and Zhao Qi didn't have time to observe the situation inside the period, so he flashed in quickly.
"No way?" Looking at this huge hall, Zhao Qi only felt a blackness in front of him, the hall in front of him was a kind of circle, and after looking around, Zhao Qi never saw any passages again, just like the hall where Zhao Qi and Lily had just entered the labyrinth.
"Is this a strange road?" Zhao Qi gently put down Lily and sat down on the ground, with an indescribable bitter feeling in his heart.
"Sissi, Jiajia ......" Zhao Qi muttered to himself, no longer the pursuing army of mummies in front of him, but flashed all the pictures of himself since his rebirth.
"Zhao Qi, look at it." Lily's voice sounded in his ears, but at this time, Zhao Qi was in no mood to say anything, but looked at Lily unconsciously.
"Zhao Qi, do you remember the hall where we first fell?" Lily said eagerly.
"The hall? In the beginning? Zhao Qi asked unconsciously.
"yes, this hall is exactly the same as the one before." Lily replied.
"Exactly the same? What do you mean? Zhao Qi's attention was gradually attracted by Lily and asked.
"These two halls are exactly the same, if the hall we fell from before is the starting point, then is this the end? If I'm not mistaken, then the way out is above here. Lily affirmed.
"However, we can't fly, and even if we know the exit, we can't get out of here." Lily said as she looked up in disappointment.
"Fly?" Zhao Qi's eyes contracted, and he stood up and looked at the much higher roof above the hall with burning eyes.
The mummy behind him was already less than a hundred meters away from the two of them.
Zhao Qi's eyes went back and forth in the direction of the mummy and the roof several times, and finally made up his mind.
"I don't believe I'm going to die here." Zhao Qi clenched his fists and took a few steps back, his eyes slowly firming up.
"Zhao Qi, what are you going to do?" Lily slumped to the ground and asked in confusion, her tone very flat, as if she didn't care about her impending death.
Zhao Qi didn't answer Lily's words, turned his head and smiled at Lily, and then stepped heavily on the stone slab.
"I'm never going to die in this place." With a crazy shout, Zhao Qi kicked his legs the ground after a quick run for a distance.
Huge power burst out from Zhao Qi's feet, and the ground that Zhao Qi stepped on instantly cracked, especially the moment it flew up, the ground seemed to have been crushed by a bulldozer, and the entire ground was stepped out by Zhao Qi's feet with a footprint a few centimeters deep.
"Ah......" Zhao Qi, who was like a cannonball, jumped up from the ground and flew towards the roof of the hall quickly.
"I must live." Feeling the gravitational pull of his body, Zhao Qi couldn't help but let out a hysterical cry again.
It seems to have passed through a membrane, and it seems to have broken through some limit.
Zhao Qi, who was in mid-air, only felt a powerful force running through his body, muscles, meridians, and cells all cheered, as if he was a child who had returned to his parents' arms.
The feeling of exhaustion that had reached the limit on his body finally disappeared, and Zhao Qi only felt that his cultivation was going from the fifth layer of Jindan to a higher level in another moment.
Jindan 6th Floor......
Jindan 7th Floor......
Jindan 8th Floor......
The surging aura gradually stabilized, Zhao Qi shook his hands, and the flying sword Moyu flew out instantly, standing at Zhao Qi's feet, supporting his body, looking at everything under his feet like a god.
"Zhao Qi ......" Lili, who collapsed on the ground, looked at Zhao Qi above almost sluggishly, at this moment, Zhao Qi was no less than a god in the world.
At the same time, there was another person who was also stunned, that is, Ahab, who had already come to Lily's side.
Feeling the mummy less than ten meters away from her frantically pounced on her with her mouth wide open, Lily couldn't help but close her eyes.
Goodbye, Zhao Qi......
A white rope descended from the sky and enveloped Lily's soft body.
Lily only felt as if she was flying through the clouds, and the terrifying appearance of the mummy in front of her slowly grew from near to far, and then she fell into a warm embrace.
"Lily, we're safe......" After listening to the warm and familiar words in her ear, Lily finally passed out.
……
"No, help me, help me." Looking at the figure above his head that was about to leave, Ahab was completely crazy, and stretched out his hands and shouted loudly at Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi, who was in mid-air, turned his head and looked at Ahab below, without a trace of pity in his indifferent eyes.
"From the moment you left us, the end was already sealed. People always have to pay for the mistakes they make. After the words fell, Zhao Qi, who was holding Lily in his arms, disappeared in front of Ahab in an instant.
"No !!" Ahab's eyes cracked, and he watched as his last shred of hope vanished.
For a while, the screams and chewing voices played into a symphony, resounding throughout the underground labyrinth...... (To be continued......)
