Chapter 52: Lettering
It didn't take much effort, and the scars on Li Ling's body had almost healed. I don't know if it's an illusion, but he feels that the skin on his body today is extraordinarily white, like a white cocoon, which reminds him of the makeup of zombies in some movies.
"Is it all predestined? I just hope it won't frighten Qin Xiaoyu! Li Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although Junlang's appearance has many benefits, but his current situation has made him not think about it so much. How to live, how to enhance his strength, and how to escape from genius are things that he has to do his best.
At present, the first and second goals have made a lot of progress, but the last and most important one has not seen any hope for a long time!
"Is this a cage from which there is no escape, a place of death for those beasts to destroy the aliens?!"
Whenever he experienced the devastation of hurricanes and gravel and lay in the cave to recover, Li Ling couldn't help but think wildly. It's like every time he examines the entire canyon, he feels like he's going to starve to death or die of old age, then be eaten by rat beasts or swept away by a hurricane.
These terrible thoughts always creep into his mind when he wants to relax and rest, and he can't wait to be baptized by the hurricane again. Or slam his fist at the stone wall until the pain of his skin tearing fills his mind.
Now, after Li Ling hammered the stone wall, he did not return to the cave to rest as usual, but fell straight to the ground and fell asleep.
Perhaps it was too tired, Li Ling slept exceptionally sweetly, the cold rocks under him turned into a warm and comfortable bed, and some feather-like soft things constantly disturbed him.
What made him even more excited was that Li Ling felt a soft, warm palm gently brushing his face, warming his cold body and limbs.
"Qin ...... Small...... Xiao Yu ......" Li Ling tried hard to scream, but he couldn't even say a name.
He kept struggling, trying to sit up, and persuaded Xiao Yu to get out of here quickly, otherwise he would be imprisoned forever in this place where there was no way to enter the heavens and no door to the earth, just like himself.
I don't know how long he struggled, Li Ling felt the coldness on his body, his consciousness gradually woke up, and he opened his eyes suddenly.
Black stone walls, bright starlight, and a few sneaky rat beasts beside him. Fortunately, Qin Xiaoyu was not by his side, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the sky, it was already late at night, and the wind was already raging in the Iron Wall Canyon, but there was still a dead silence here. For the first time since the first attempt, Li Ling was absent from the baptism of a hurricane at dusk.
This made him feel uneasy and decided to do something to make up for his slackness.
Curled up by the waterhole, he began to recall that strange dream, why did he dream that Qin Xiaoyu came to his side? Why did she touch herself gently, but never said a word?
According to the master's opinion - a dream is the fulfillment of a wish, he figured out the first point: he didn't want Qin Xiaoyu to be trapped here, but he thought about her all the time, hoping that she could be by his side, so he pulled her into the dream. Even because of the coldness and hardness of the ground, he subconsciously ordered Xiao Yu to constantly soothe himself with a warm palm.
But why not let her speak in her dreams?
How he longed to hear her gentle voice! Li Ling shook his head, thinking to himself that these things in his subconscious, I'm afraid that spiritual master can't understand them either.
Slowly, a bad premonition began to grow in his heart: maybe one day, Qin Xiaoyu would come here and be trapped in the Iron Wall Canyon like himself.
"No, it's horrible!" Li Ling shook his head in pain. But he knew that once Qin Xiaoyu angered those guys, it was very likely that he would be tied up and thrown into the Iron Wall Canyon to fend for himself.
Maybe she's on her way now, maybe it's been a long, long time, maybe she's escaped the beasts' grip and will never come......
No matter which one it is, it is not what Li Ling wants to see, no matter where he is at that time, whether he is alive or dead.
Thinking of this, Li Ling took out his dagger from the cave and laboriously carved it on the surrounding cave walls, writing down his name, what he did, what he ate, what he drank, and even some thoughts when he was bored were engraved on the wall.
Of course, the most important thing is to tell Xiao Yu to stay strong in case she is thrown into an empty canyon. I'll definitely come back to rescue her.
The stone wall is as hard as iron, and between the carved paintings, the sky is bright and dark, black and bright. It wasn't until the third day that Li Ling's hands were swollen and had to stop.
It didn't take long for him to jump off the waterhole again, swim to the other side of the rocky canyon, and carved another line of small words on the rocky wall near the waterhole: Walk through the waterhole, there is no cave.
He believed that no one except Qin Xiaoyu, who was familiar with the Chinese language, and other supporters would know what he meant by the words he wrote. This also prevents the tragedy of those magical rat beasts being killed by ill-intentioned people.
It was only now that Li Ling completely relieved himself, took a few sips of water, and looked at the sun that was about to walk to the middle of the sky.
Soon, the Ironwall Canyon will have the brightest hour of the day.
……
At noon, Tiebi Gorge was quiet, there was no wind, and there was no flying sand and rocks.
The scorching sun was shining, and the cold ground had already become hot.
Li Ling lay on his back on the ground unconcerned, looking at the sun in the middle of the sky, expecting it to become a little more vicious, so that his skin could experience the pain of the heat wave.
Two eagles circled high in the sky and came back again.
"That's ......," Li Ling rubbed his eyes.
When he saw that they were two batmen, he almost jumped in excitement. The two batmen seemed to have spotted him, flashing their huge wings and flying straight over.
"Are they here to get me out!?" Li Ling thought of a possibility. But he didn't dare to be sure, let alone waste this rare opportunity.
In any case, if the slightest mistake in the development of the situation occurs, he will take a risk.
In a bit of a hurry, Li Ling lay on his back on the ground and pretended to fall asleep.
Soon, there was a "whoa, whoa!" "Two loud bangs. Squinting slightly, Li Ling saw the two batmen walking towards him a little awkwardly.
He noticed that one of the batmen seemed to have something hooked in its claws. But he focused more on the batman's hideous expression and approaching figure.
Accustomed to flying, the two batmen don't have the nimble steps and muscing bodies of the remnants. But their wings are not fully closed, and they are still full of momentum.
"Thorn-sting-" While Li Ling was anxiously waiting, the two batmen stopped more than ten meters away from him, and it seemed that they did not intend to approach him.
This strengthened Li Ling's thoughts, and he lay motionless, and even his breathing gradually stopped.
The two batmen continued to come closer, squeaking and looking over him. One of them leaned down and probed his sniff with its rough paws.
"Can't hesitate any longer." At the same time as he opened his eyes, Li Ling raised his arm violently and slammed his fist on the hideous face above his head.
With all his might, the batman didn't struggle and fell straight down.
The other batman was taken aback, screaming and spreading its wings, as it stretched out its claws and swung at him.
Seeing that the other party did not run away but chose to attack, Li Ling was overjoyed in his heart, and pounced on it regardless of it.
The batman's claws pierced the skin on Li Ling's chest with difficulty, leaving three shallow blood marks there.
And it itself has been beaten by Li Ling's old fists, and it has completely lost the power to resist.
Three times and five divided by two, Li Ling grabbed the rattan next to him and tied the batman to the black trunk in the canyon. The rattans were what he used to hold himself in place during hurricanes, and they were extremely tough and strong.
Another comatose batman was taken care of in the same way.
After finishing his work, Li Ling carefully checked to make sure that the rattan was tied strong enough. Having been training frantically in hurricanes these days, Li Ling's binding techniques have become quite skillful.
It was only then that Li Ling noticed a small square scarf floating in the pool, which should have fallen into the water during the fierce fight between him and the batman, so he reached out and fished it out.
The scarf is leather, with some vague, reddish pattern marks on it. Due to the immersion, the patterns are completely unrecognizable.
It was still early, and Li Ling planned to fly out of the canyon with the help of these two batmen before the hurricane at dusk came.
After passing through the passage under the pond again, Li Ling put on his animal skin clothes neatly, and slaughtered the two rat beasts in pain before returning to the Tiebi Canyon.
When they surfaced, the two batmen were standing together, their noses and eyes staring crookedly in his direction.
Seeing Li Ling walking towards them, he immediately screamed as if warning, flapping his wings vigorously. One of them used his claws to tug at the rattan tied to his body.
Li Ling walked over with a sinister smile and waved his fist at them a few times before throwing the two rat beasts in front of them, wanting to replenish some energy for the two miserable batmen.
The two batmen looked at him with hatred, then turned their heads away, and had a posture of preferring to die.
Li Ling was a little surprised, turned around and wanted to find a stick to beat, but immediately came from behind him, "Haw, haw!" The sound of biting.
When they turned around again, the two rat beasts the size of piglets were almost completely filled into their stomachs. With the "Slip! Slippery! Two sounds, and the last half of the tail was also sucked into their mouths and swallowed by their stomachs.
Li Ling smiled with satisfaction, moved his hands and feet, and walked towards the two batmen step by step amid their warning-filled screams.
He wanted to test the results of his training over the past few months.
If I'm not mistaken, it should work well.
