This is the third day.

Qiu Xuan lay on the ground with her eyes half-closed, and in her blurred vision, she could vaguely see the storm whistling around her that seemed to never stop.

She was lying in a cavern that had been carved out of the cavern, the exit of which had been blocked three days earlier by a barrier to breath, and now crumbling to the point of becoming useless.

Next to the salted fish-like lying position, a thin child with no flesh on his body was lying on his back on the rock in a similar position, also pale and breathing weakly, but he did not completely lose the characteristics of life.

Three days, three days have passed since Qiu Xuan said her final goodbye to the red hair.

Qiu Xuan's guess was right, the location of the eye of the storm was indeed in the cave where they were teleported to at the beginning, but since they had missed the first opening time, they could only wait nearby for the next storm to stop and the eye of the storm to reopen.

The only food left before had been eaten, and Qiu Xuan could only lie on the ground and maintain a posture for the past three days to ensure maximum energy savings and reduce consumption, but this was to no avail after all.

If it weren't for a light rain during the period, it would be a question whether they would have survived until today.

There was a movement around her, originally such a step could be easily captured in Qiu Xuan's ears in advance, but now, she only rolled her eyes slightly after the person sat down for a while, as if it had consumed a lot of strength just like that.

"I've seen it, but the storm hasn't stopped, and there's no other living creature nearby."

Qin Jiuyuan sat beside her and said softly. His condition seems to be a little better than Qiu Xuan's, in addition to the natural physical reasons, there is also the special side effect of hunger in this world for the executioner.

Some time ago, Qiu Xuan had already experienced that for the executioner, not eating for a day would consume reason and weaken his spirit, and he would fall into a state of madness out of control in two days, and he would probably die completely in three to five days.

She had already experienced that period of loss of control under her red eyes, and the memories of that time in Qiu Xuan's not very clear head at the moment became dull. She didn't remember what she had done the day before, and she didn't know if she would lose control and act irreparably if she lost her mind, but when she opened her eyes at this moment and even lost the strength to act out of control, what she saw was still that slightly unfamiliar and familiar face.

The sides of the black merchant's face were thinned and tucked down, the sunken arc of his eyes was deeper, and his chin was covered with blue-gray stubble.

It looks really embarrassing, but Qiu Xuan probably can't make fun of him, because at the moment her own situation is better than the other party.

Qiu Xuan woke up from the illusion of reality, which was both false and false, and for a moment doubted that he was still indulging in the madness of losing his mind and could not go ashore. She lay on her back with her eyelids half-closed and looked at the darkness above the cavern, blinking softly as if she had been subjected to a slow-motion effect.

"Brother Yuan......"

The girl who was lying on the ground like a salted fish spoke softly, "Do you know the story of the Arctic expedition eating penguin meat?" ”

Qin Jiuyuan paused for a moment, in fact, he didn't understand the meaning of terms such as North Pole or expedition at all, but this did not prevent him from responding.

"No, you tell me." The black merchant stared at her without blinking, as if he had never spoken so softly and gently in his life.

That is to say, there was a couple who went to the North Pole to investigate, and the man was snow blind, and the woman went out to find something for him to eat, and when asked what kind of meat it was, the woman replied that it was penguin meat. Later, when the man came back from the North Pole, he broke down on the spot when he ate the so-called penguin meat again, because the taste was different, and he had always eaten his girlfriend's meat in the North Pole before. ”

Qin Jiuyuan listened to her quietly, opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, when he heard that in the next second, Qiu Xuan was lying on the ground laboriously and finished speaking, and exhaled quietly.

"I warn you, my eyes are good now, if you dare to go out and get some meat from unknown sources back and lie to me, I will go out and raid your hometown."

Qin Jiuyuan: "......"

"Don't think about it," the black merchant pressed his temple with a headache. "You close your eyes and sleep now, and when you open your eyes, we'll be able to get out of here."

If it weren't for the fact that Qiu Xuan lay on the ground and rolled his eyes at him without strength, he sighed again, "My mother didn't say as outrageous as you when she coaxed me to sleep, what about lying to children, this is ......"

Her voice gradually lowered, and her slightly open eyelids fell down and closed completely, not like she was asleep, but like she would never wake up after closing her eyes.

Qiu Xuan couldn't see the look on the face of the black merchant around her after she closed her eyes, and when she returned to silence, there seemed to be a faint sound in her ears, and then the tip of her tongue was sweet, and something melted between her lips and teeth, gradually sliding down her mouthpiece, as if flowing through every vein in her body.

Although I was in a trance at the moment, everything looked like I was in a virtual dream, but the smell in my mouth was so vivid that it was terrifying.

Redhead said that she would always remember the smell of flesh, the warmth and rancid smell that gave her another chance at life.

Qiu Xuan thought that she would probably always remember the taste of that sugar, a concentrated cane sugar that had been brought back only on a whim, but now it had saved her life.

The man's voice was so false that it didn't seem real, but it really belonged to hers.

"Sleep, little girl." He said. "When you open your eyes, the world will be different."

……

It turns out that most of the time a man's love words for his girlfriend are purely just talk.

Qiu Xuan sat up from the cold hard rock, she reached out and pulled her tangled hair back, and glanced back at the unconscious child by the way.

There was also a faint breath, and the little girl should have woken up once halfway, when it was raining lightly outside. At that time, I took some rainwater, boiled it and drank it, and then fainted, but at least the vitality was amazingly tenacious, and it can still hold on to this day.

Qiu Xuan straightened her somewhat dazed mind, she sat on the ground for a while, and did not find Qin Jiuyuan's figure in the cave. So he stood up tentatively with his wrists propped up, and found that he had not continued to lose his mind, except that the hunger in his stomach was still alive and the inevitable weakness.

The barrier at the exit of the cave was damaged due to lack of energy, Qiu Xuan thought about it, walked back, picked up the little girl and put it in her arm, and walked out of the cave with her feet.

The hurricane not far away was still sweeping and roaring at the bottom of the abyss, Qiu Xuan squinted his eyes for a while, and suddenly heard a burst of footsteps from a certain direction in the same direction.

She took out her knife and turned around to stand still, and found that it was a duo of a man and a woman, and they were both executioners.

"Wow, it's a living peer."

The man was the first to spot her, beckoning her to greet her in a friendly manner, and it didn't seem like he was going to do it as soon as he came up. The woman beside him silently raised her head and looked up and down, standing with her arms folded and not speaking.

Qiu Xuan watched it for a while and felt that the two of them were a little familiar.

- In fact, the phrase "I think everyone is a little familiar" appears several times in this volume, and the main reason is probably that people here like to open a trumpet to talk to people, such as Yu Tang - Xi Han Pavilion, such as Alex Mountain - Yussi, and then for example that Beelzebub.

But these two people are really not the kind of acquaintances who open a trumpet.

Qiu Xuan was sure that she had seen them in the underground black market when she was in Drow City, and these two should belong to the kind of executioners who developed in the black market, and they would have been forcibly teleported to Oser when the deadline expired, and accidentally stepped into the void into the abyss.

Probably after going through the identities of the two in his heart, Qiu Xuan took the lead and said, "Do you still have food on you?" ”

The woman still had a cold face and didn't speak, but Qiu Xuan knew that she didn't have an opinion about herself, because she always had this attitude when she was in the underground black market of Zhuoer City a few times, and she was like this to everyone, it should just be a matter of character.

"We just came in with a dozen bottles of wine and a few synthetic cakes."

The man replied very eloquently, and anyone with a discerning eye could see Qiu Xuan's state at the moment with the child hanging on her arm, he quickly reacted, and added: "We can exchange it for a bottle of wine and a piece of synthetic cake, provided that you have to cooperate with us." ”

"I know that you must be powerful yourself, and I know that you will not be convinced by the two of us who are unknown, but you must know that the current situation is ......"

Old Alliance Champion Qiu Xuan: Is there such a good thing?

Qiu Xuan: "Don't say it, I promise you." ”

The woman next to her, who had been cold-faced, Shi Shiran glanced at her, "Then you make an agreement with me, if you break the agreement at that time, you will be eaten by my power or even die." ”

"Don't bother, because I'm from the Yutang organization." Qiu Xuan glanced up at her. "I know you, the black merchant in the southeast corner of the second floor of the underground black market, and one of the purposes of my return to Drow City this time is to contact you. Essentially, we're already in a partnership, and of course, if you don't believe me, we'll make a deal as you say. ”

The two glanced at each other, and they had already believed most of them from the time she mentioned the name "Yu Tang".

"It's no longer necessary to make an agreement as you say, but I'm going to take a look at some of your memories just to be on the safe side." The woman took two steps forward and stretched out her hand towards Qiu Xuan, "Don't worry, this is just my ability, and it won't cause any damage to you." ”

Of course, it is impossible for Qiu Xuan to show her memories, although the other party can only see the part that he showed her, but there are some things that Qiu Xuan will never be able to show. So she took a step back and avoided the woman's hand, and pulled something out of the accompanying space with her backhand.

The moment they saw the miserable white bone whip in her hand, the eyes of both of them changed.

"Yu Tang's main weapon, she gave it to me before leaving, I can't fake this kind of thing." Qiu Xuan held the bone whip in his hand and gave them a few glances, "Everyone is their own people. Of course, I won't eat your food for nothing, and I will exchange it with silver coins according to the market price. ”

"Comrades-in-arms!"

The man suddenly stepped forward excitedly, he reached out and wanted to pat Qiu Xuan on the shoulder, but he was intercepted and slapped aside unceremoniously in the next second.

Qin Jiuyuan, who didn't know where he had gone and came back, pulled his face and glared at him, his lips moved but he didn't make a sound.

"Renault?!"

There was another round of fuss, and after a while, the few people finally reached a consensus. Since everyone is an ally of the same camp, it is natural that they will not be able to watch their allies die of hunger at the bottom of the abyss.

Immediately, Qiu Xuan and Qin Jiuyuan ate the wine and synthetic cakes that the two of them had relieved, and simply tore them up and made them into a paste and fed the little girl a little, and several people finished trimming and prepared to start again.

"By the way, did you know that forcibly opening the eye of the storm is a sacrificial thing?" The man asked at them, waving his hand in clarification at the latter's suddenly wary gaze.

"No, no, I didn't mean to sacrifice you...... I mean, if you don't have a good solution, we have a way on our side. ”

Qiu Xuan naturally couldn't ask for it, and then she watched the man in the center of the venue calm and relaxed, and her hands were dazzled in the air for a while, and she actually took out a ...... from somewhere Humanoids coming?

The workmanship is very rough and simple, a bit like the wholesale plastic dummy in a clothing store, with a very fake wig on his head, and the false eyelashes fly directly into the sky.

"I've heard people say that there are loopholes in sacrifices," the man raised his hand and looked embarrassed as he straightened up his blown wig. "The condition for opening the eye of the storm is actually just a human body, and now I only need to pull a divine soul into this 'human body', which is enough to confuse the real with the fake."

As he spoke, he turned his head expectantly to look at the cold-faced woman, who gave a "Do you think it's possible" look, and the man touched his nose and turned back.

"Alright then, I'll go inside myself...... When the time comes, remember to bring my own body back with you! Otherwise, I'll be a lonely ghost! ”

I don't know whether to say that he has a big heart or what, in this situation, after the man silently recited something, he really introduced himself into the dummy with a special ability. In the next second, the man's own body fell backwards, and the woman caught it with her backhand, and then raised her eyes and glanced at Qiu Xuan and them with a warning look.

Qiu Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't need to take the opportunity to turn back.

Moments after the dummy's body was suddenly swept into the endless storm, the howling wind gradually stopped, and then the familiar cavern surface was truly revealed to the crowd once again.

"Let's go!" The woman carried a human body, said a quick word, and took the lead in rushing into the cave.
