Chapter 169: A Special Cell

Opening the cell, Xu Ran kept circling around the wall, sometimes staring at the ground, sometimes staring at the wall, and finally he raised his hand and gently tapped the wall.

The first cell was identical to the second, with fingers banging on the walls, a dull thud, and no secret passages at all.

"Did you guess wrong?"

However, when he walked to the third cell, there was a hollowing sound on the innermost wall, it seemed that at the other end of the wall, there was an invisible passage, and Xu Ran also found that this wall was very damp, so he couldn't help but move down with curiosity, and instantly saw a lot of moss in a corner of the ground. Then he searched for the weakest point, listened carefully to the sound on the other side of the wall, and when he stuck to the wall, he suddenly heard the sound of a river flowing.

It appears that across the wall is an underground river.

So Xu Ran found a tool to chisel the wall directly, only to see that he didn't use much force, and a big hole was broken in the wall, Xu Ran poked his head in, and found that there was indeed a dark river inside. However, due to the dim light, Xu Ran could see no more than six meters.

Along the entrance of the cave, he climbed in, but as soon as the footboard fell to the ground, there was a crisp sound, as if he had stepped on something, so he moved the light to his feet, and suddenly saw a black press, it was actually a scorpion, and they were actually raising this kind of thing.

Xu Ran stepped under his feet, basically trampling on five or six scorpions, and when he lifted his feet, the soles of his shoes were stained with something like white pulp, which was estimated to be the internal organs of scorpions.

However, those scorpions seemed to be afraid of the aura on Xu Ran's body, as long as Xu Ran walked through, they would get out of the way, and Xu Ran didn't bother to waste this time to drive away the group of scorpions in front of him.

He looked around, in addition to finding a scorpion on the bank, there was also an iron cage in the open space in the middle of the dark river, and a person was locked in it, with a delicate face and a thin body, this person was Xu Mei.

Xu Ran saw that it was her, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, if he couldn't find her tonight, it was estimated that he would have no chance tomorrow, according to the practice of the god organization, it was very likely that Xu Mei would be transferred to the place where he was taken tomorrow.

It's just that he wants to save people now, and he has to face a problem, that is, how to swim to the opposite side to save people, now there is no boat here, and there is no wood here, and if he wants to go over, he can only go down the river in person.

I don't know how deep this dark river is, I don't know how deep it is at a glance, it's all dark and bottomless.

And at the moment when he just squatted down, he suddenly saw something swimming on the water, black and pressing, with no end in sight, if he didn't look closely, he thought it was the color of water.

Xu Ran frowned slightly, stared and watched, and found that they were some underwater creatures without knots, with a few patterns in the middle of the brown body, the size of a little finger, slippery and very similar to a loach, but after careful observation, he found that this was an artificially cultivated leech, which was probably to prevent someone from sneaking into the dungeon to save people.

Xu Mei in the middle of the river looked dying, her face was very pale, Xu Ran didn't know if she was knocked unconscious or drugged, anyway, according to the current situation, it was very bad.

He could not delay, he could either swim over or take a boat, but seeing that there was no place for a wooden boat all around, he had to go down to the river.

There are leeches constantly moving on the surface of the river, and their fat bodies seem to be like a loach, which will surface for a while, and then burrow into the water, and it seems that they are having a lot of fun.

But Xu Ran didn't dare to underestimate them, he took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the water, as soon as the powder fell into the water, the leeches began to churn, and the water in the river seemed to be boiling, gurgling and bubbling, constantly moving to the shore.

Xu Ran saw the opportunity, the whole figure rose into the air and plunged directly into the water, because there was no obstacle in the water, Xu Ran swam very smoothly, and after a while, he swam to the middle of the underground river.

There is a small clearing here, like a floating island, firmly standing in the middle of the river.

Swimming to the middle of the river, Xu Ran realized that the area of this underground river was much larger than the outside. There are gray rock walls everywhere, and water droplets are constantly falling on the surface of the water, rippling and sometimes making a ticking sound.

Xu Ran climbed ashore along the rock, but because the area was not large, he didn't take a few steps before he came to the iron cage.

Xu Mei leaned on the edge of the iron railing, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, her hair was very messy, her whole body was tied by ropes, she couldn't move, and there was a white cloth stuffed in her mouth, so that she couldn't make a sound.

So Xu Ran knocked and made a slight sound, but Xu Mei didn't move, as if she was asleep, and didn't respond to him.

Xu Ran frowned suddenly, stretched out his fingers, probed his nose, and found that Xu Mei's breath was very weak, as if he was out of breath at any time.

So without thinking, with a shake in his hand, a bright dagger appeared in front of him.

I saw a cold flash in the light, and I didn't see Xu Ran's strength much, those finger-thick iron bars, as if they were being chopped vegetables, broke their roots, and suddenly there were several shocking knife marks.

Xu Ran picked it up with his hand, and the cut iron rod was thrown into the river by him, and then the whole person jumped in and hugged Xu Mei.

Xu Mei's face looked very pale, her delicate face was bloodless, and her big dark eyes were tightly closed, which was very pitiful.

What did they do to Xu Mei.

Xu Ran swam to the other side of the river with Xu Mei on his back, and after running and being vigilant along the way, Xu Ran finally returned to Huang Jing's residence.

At this moment, Huang Jing was waiting anxiously, obviously she was very worried about Xu Mei's disappearance, and when she was anxious, the door outside was suddenly opened, she couldn't help but startled, and immediately stood up from the chair.

The people who came were obviously Xu Ran and Xu Mei, but seeing that the clothes on the two were wet, Huang Jing couldn't help but ask.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xu Ran put Xu Mei on the bed, and her face gradually became gloomy.

"She went to assassinate Shenxi Yakana, failed in her mission, and captured their people."

Xu Ran said unhurriedly.

With Huang Jing's cleverness, she could quickly guess what happened next, and sure enough, after Xu Ran told her the whole thing, she saw her frowning.

"And how is she doing now?" Huang Jing asked.

Xu Ran shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet." ”

As soon as Xu Ran's words fell, Huang Jing's figure had already walked in front of Xu Mei, she reached out and tested her pulse, and found that her heartbeat was very unstable, and her face was gloomy.

Seeing Huang Jing's solemn expression, Xu Ran's heart suddenly had a bad premonition: "How is she?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask.

Huang Jing shook her head, her face was very strange.

"It doesn't look like an injury." Speaking of this, she paused again, "It's more like poisoning, is it a Gu?" ”

Huang Jing's face suddenly turned dead, and Xu Ran could see that the Gu in Xu Mei would definitely not be simple now, otherwise Huang Jing would not have been able to show that kind of expression.

"What kind of Gu is it?" Xu Ran's gaze suddenly became sharp.

"Not sure yet." Huang Jing shook his head, then pulled out the drawer on the side, took out a small wooden box from it, and then opened the box and pulled out a silver needle from the white cloth.

Xu Ran knew that Huang Jing was testing the Gu, so he moved out of the open space and looked at Huang Jing quietly.

I saw that after she took out the silver needle, she pricked Xu Mei's nails, and suddenly a drop of blood dripped from her white hand.

However, this drop of blood was not bright, but showed a reddish and black color, which was probably a sign of blood clotting, but Huang Jing's nose was very sensitive, and he quickly smelled other smells from the blood.

"This is not exactly Gu, to be precise, it should be a human virus."

It is indeed possible according to the means of God's organization.

But at this moment, Xu Ran was more concerned about Xu Mei's safety, so he asked, "Is there any salvation?" ”

Huang Jing sighed, her expression a little depressed: "It's difficult, if there is no fresh blood exchange, it is estimated that it will not survive tonight." ”

In Xu Mei's left hand, it has slowly turned blue-gray from the thumb, and it is estimated that it will not take long to spread to the entire arm.

"Use my blood." Xu Ran said: "Mine is all-round blood. ”

As the words fell, Huang Jing's face changed slightly, fortunately, the poisoning is not deep now, and it should be too late to exchange blood.

Thinking of this, Huang Jing's face instantly became solemn again, she was worried that the virus would be transmitted to another person through the bloodstream.

Xu Ran saw Huang Jing's concerns, so he said: "My blood has the ability to regenerate, and this death virus must have a restraining effect, so it will be fine." After speaking, Xu Ran also made a reassuring expression to Huang Jing.

Although Huang Jing still had some concerns in her heart, she was immediately relieved when she thought of Xu Ran's super-fast healing ability, she paused, and her heart kept struggling, and finally she made up her mind to take a gamble, which can be regarded as a dead horse as a live horse doctor. What's more, there is not much time left for her now, if she doesn't make a decision, Xu Mei may really die here.

Xu Ran stretched out his left hand in front of Huang Jing and motioned for her to hurry up.

The two glanced at each other, and finally Huang Jing nodded, walked to the cabinet on the left, rummaged for things, and after a while she took out two needles from her package, and sure enough, before entering the mountain, she had prepared this kind of medical equipment in advance.

"It's about to begin." Huang Jing reminded Xu Ran. Then the needle hole slowly pierced into the blood vessel along the skin, and in an instant, the blood blended with each other with the needle, gradually showing a state of fading, as long as Xu Mei's blood and Xu Ran's blood were intertwined, it immediately turned from black to red, and gradually turned into a healthy state.

At first, Xu Ran didn't feel anything, but as the two kinds of blood flowed to each other, he slowly had this feeling of being bitten by insects, this feeling was like the blood was crawling with parasites constantly eating your blood cells, and gradually he felt numb in his hands and feet, from stinging to unconscious, until finally, even his brain began to become sluggish.

"Xu Ran! Are you okay? As if seeing that Xu Ran's face had changed, Huang Jing immediately sat down beside him, put one hand on Xu Ran's pulse, and learned the way Chinese medicine looked to see a doctor. In the end, she sighed and observed the changes in Xu Ran's face.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ran's tone was a little weak.

"Nothing!" Huang Jing shook his head and said, "Your physique is very peculiar, I have never seen a situation like you in medical school. ”

"Maybe it has something to do with the genes in your body." Xu Ran shook his head and subconsciously looked at Xu Mei on the side.

Her face was still pale, but the blue-black condensed in her arm had disappeared. Judging from the current situation, it should be no problem, and it is a matter of time before it becomes sober.
