Chapter 122: That Trace of Warmth
Looking at Su Xiaohan, who was fighting with the tentacle-like vines waving all over the room, Du Jiujiu's heart was extremely anxious.
Although Du Jiujiu's energy had been exhausted, his body had become very weak, and even wielding the long knife had become very difficult. But she still doesn't want to be a princess who obediently waits for the prince to come to save, even if she can't help in battle, Du Jiujiu still has what she needs to do.
Taking advantage of the fact that the branches of the vines were attracted away by Su Xiaohan's firepower, Du Jiujiu used his only movable right hand to cooperate with his teeth, re-tied the long knife to his back, and quietly took out the dagger that had been hidden on his body, and tried his best to support his weak body and dive towards the main trunk of the vine.
On the trunk at this time, Luo Yucheng was still entangled like a zongzi, his face was as pale as paper, obviously too much blood had been sucked away. Du Jiujiu didn't dare to delay for another minute when he saw his state, and hurriedly cut the vines on his body with a dagger, the dagger that An Cheng gave her was sharper than ordinary weapons, and the vines on Luo Yucheng's body were cut off in half.
"Luo Yucheng, wake up!!"
Du Jiujiu found that Luo Yucheng's exposed upper body had been blurred by the flesh and blood sucked by the vines, Du Jiujiu slapped Luo Yucheng's face to wake him up, but he didn't react, and his skin was cold and terrible.
Du Jiujiu was shocked in his heart, and stretched out his hand to probe his snort, fortunately, he was still alive, but his breath was very weak, intermittently like a candle in the wind.
"Luo Yucheng, hold on! If something happens to you, how should I explain to An Cheng......"
Du Jiujiu whispered his name in his ear, and the action of cutting vines in his hands sped up a few points, and after a while, the only remaining vines could no longer support the weight of his body and loosened, and Luo Yucheng suddenly fell down from the vines.
Du Jiujiu caught him quickly, but was directly knocked to the ground by his strong body.
As she struggled to push away the unconscious man, the vine seemed to have discovered that her "good meal" had been taken away, and frantically manipulated several spiky vines to rush towards her, as if they wanted to penetrate her body directly.
"Boom!!"
When the vines were about to touch Du Jiujiu's body, several wind blades cut off the violent vines one by one like timely rain, and then Su Xiaohan suddenly appeared beside Du Jiujiu.
"Quick, take him to a safe place!!"
Su Xiaohan stepped forward and blocked in front of Du Jiujiu and said urgently, Du Jiujiu nodded hurriedly, and dragged Luo Yucheng's body towards the wall with difficulty.
Su Xiaohan fought with these vines again, although his wind blade could easily cut off the vines, but they seemed to have endless regenerative ability, and new branches were constantly wriggling and growing at the fractures of the vines.
As time passed, sweat began to ooze from Su Xiaohan's face. He began to observe the escape routes around him without a trace, but the vine was so cunning that it had already blocked all access to the outside world with its branches.
After all, this vine is just beginning to enlighten, and these people are all delicious flesh and blood in its eyes, and its greedy nature makes it unwilling to let them escape no matter what.
While Su Xiaohan was fighting hard with the vines, on the other side, Du Jiujiu had already taken Luo Yucheng to a corner full of mahogany furniture, and the sheltered terrain here allowed them to get a little respite from the stormy attacks of the vines.
Du Jiujiu didn't dare to waste this hard-won gap, and quickly checked Luo Yucheng's injury.
His clothes had been tattered by the spikes on the vines, and the dense wounds all over his body were clearly visible at this time. Fortunately, Du Jiujiu did not find any fatal wounds on him, but temporarily passed out due to excessive blood loss.
"Luo Yucheng, wake up!!" Du Jiujiu slapped Luo Yucheng's cheek, trying to wake him up.
Although Su Xiaohan didn't tell her that there was not much of her ability left, Du Jiujiu had fought side by side with him many times, so how could she not know his strength level.
As an elemental ability, the energy consumption is much higher than that of an ordinary power-based ability, and since the battle, Su Xiaohan's skill release has not even stopped, presumably he can't hold on for too long.
At this time, the situation was already very reluctant for her and Su Xiaohan to leave, if Luo Yucheng was still unconscious, then it would be a fool's dream for them to escape together.
It was probably Du Jiujiu's voice, or the pain on his face, that awakened Luo Yucheng's consciousness, and after his eyelashes trembled slightly, he slowly opened his eyes.
"You...... Jiujiu? Luo Yucheng had just woken up from a coma, and his consciousness was not yet fully awake, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Du Jiujiu in front of him, who was in disarray.
"Leave nothing else to worry about yet, tell me, can you still move?!" Du Jiujiu didn't care about explaining anything to him, and hurriedly interrupted him.
"This ......" After a moment of time, Luo Yucheng looked around and probably understood his situation at this time.
After hearing Du Jiujiu's question, Luo Yucheng tried to move his body, but the result was very bad, his body was as heavy as soaked in lead at the moment, and his every move was abnormal, the energy in his body had completely disappeared, and the feeling of emptiness from the meridians spread all over his body.
"I just can't move." Luo Yucheng shook his head at Du Jiujiu, then looked at Su Xiaohan, who was fighting fiercely with the vines on the other side, and said with a wry smile: "I am very grateful that you came to save me, but it is dangerous here, and you seem to be injured, so let's go first, leave me alone!" ”
"How could I just leave my companion behind? Let's go!! Du Jiujiu excitedly grabbed Luo Yucheng's cold hand.
After experiencing too much life and death, Du Jiujiu no longer wanted to give up anyone around him.
The heat was transferred from Du Jiujiu's palm to Luo Yucheng's hand, and while bringing him warmth, an unknown emotion gradually rose from his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been a strong man in the hearts of others, and he will always be protecting others, while he alone has to bear all the pain.
But the girl in front of him is completely different from others, although she is so petite compared to herself, but she saves him from fire and water again and again, and brings him hope again and again, such warmth is something he has never felt.
"Don't worry, we'll have a way!"
Du Jiujiu didn't notice the strange look flashing in Luo Yucheng's eyes at all, she bit her lip tightly, desperately thinking about how to escape.
However, at this moment, a weak cat bark suddenly sounded nearby, interrupting her train of thought.
