028. Life and death
Ling Ran turned her head slightly, only to see that the man in black who had just been thrown an arrow into her chest with her bare hands was not dead, but was holding a sharp dagger around her neck!
But she gritted her teeth, and in the roar of rolling thunder, she shot the arrow in her hand towards the man in black.
Almost at the same time, the dagger of the man in black pierced the guard's chest, and Ling Ran's arrow also hit the man in black in the abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, there were only four of them left in the cave.
"Don't you have a lot of guts?! Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?! Ling then felt a sharp pain in her neck, and felt a stream of fluid slide down her spine, and the cold and sharp dagger circled around her neck and moved to the front of her throat.
Hearing this, Ling Ran smiled calmly and didn't say a word, she was a battle-hardened person, would she still be afraid of death?
Life and death, perhaps, are major events in life for many people.
But for her, life is just a direction, not a great ending.
Death is just a destination, not such a terrible thing.
Besides, just by the gesture of the man in black just now, she could basically conclude that their target was not her! They didn't dare to kill her!
Their target is Chu Yijun!
Ling Ran looked at Chu Yijun a little nervously, only to see that the person opposite him was ruthless and deadly, although Chu Yijun was dodging that person's attack with ease, her heart was in her throat!
"Let her go!" Hearing this, Chu Yijun hurriedly glanced at this side, couldn't help but suffocate his chest, shouted, and then suddenly flashed behind the leader of the man in black, and also put a dagger against his throat, and said to the man in black behind Ling Ran, "Let's change one person for another!" ”
Looking at the fleeting panic on Chu Yijun's face and the perseverance in his eyes, Ling Ran's heart moved suddenly.
"Okay, it's a deal!" The man in black behind Ling Ran said in a deep voice, and Ling Ran felt that the blade of his dagger was gently cutting her with his breathing, cold and sharp.
Ling Ran was held against a dagger by the person behind him, and cautiously walked towards Chu Yijun, who was also using a dagger against a man in black, slowly walking towards her.
In this short distance of a few meters, every step feels like a century has passed.
Even the air seemed to freeze because of the tense atmosphere.
In the midst of lightning and thunder, Ling Ran held his breath and walked forward, staring at the resoluteness on Chu Yijun's handsome face.
Chu Yijun, on the other hand, kept staring at the sharp dagger on Ling Ran's neck, watching it cut out red marks on Ling Ran's white skin, with blood dripping continuously, and his black handsome eyes were full of storms, and he instantly realized what it meant to cut his heart like a knife.
Seeing that Ling Ran was about to walk on the same level as the black-clothed man in his hand, Chu Yijun's forehead couldn't help but drip a drop of cold sweat, and he whispered to the black-clothed man behind Ling Ran, "I'll count to a moment, and we'll exchange at the same time." ”
"Okay."
"Three, two, one-" However, as soon as Chu Yijun's words fell, the man in black behind Ling Ran took the lead in pulling the person in Chu Yijun's hand, and his dagger at Ling Ran's throat did not let go at all!
Chu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and was about to make a quick move towards the man in black by surprise, but he heard the man in black yell:
"Don't come here! One more step further and I'll kill her!" ”
Chu Yijun froze, staring closely at the dagger in front of Ling Ran's throat, but saw that the black-clothed man's eyes flashed with a blood-devouring smile, and while protecting the other black-clothed man behind him, he pressed the dagger against Ling Ran's throat tightly and stepped back.
In the end, they finally retreated to the mouth of the cave, but just when Ling Ran thought that they were about to let her go and run away, another man in black with empty hands suddenly picked up the bow and arrow on the ground and was about to shoot at Chu Yijun in the cave!
Ling Ran's heart tightened, his eyes were quick, and he immediately swept at that person, stumbling him straight to the ground!
Immediately, taking advantage of the dagger in front of his throat to stop, Ling Ran quickly broke away from the grip of the person behind him and jumped back to Chu Yijun's side.
She and Chu Yijun only glanced at each other, and then they both hit the two black-clothed people again, catching them off guard, falling into the water, retreating again and again, and in the blink of an eye, they were trampled under the feet of Ling Ran and Chu Yijun respectively!
However, before they could do anything more, the two men in black glanced at each other, tilted their heads, closed their eyes, and stopped moving.
Seeing this, Ling Ran and Chu Yijun glanced at each other again, and immediately understood what the doubts in the other party's eyes were, so they both tacitly picked up the swords on the ground and slashed at them.
By this time, the raindrops had been pouring down, and the mist was rising everywhere.
Chu Yijun bent down and reached out to probe the snorts of the black-clothed men.
And Ling Ran, too, braved the rain, cautiously walking among the corpses inside and outside the cave, checking if there was still the breath of their human life.
When the inspection was finished, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly they heard several strange and dull noises coming from the top of the mountain!
Ling Ran's heart sank, and he raised his eyes and glanced at the stream outside the cave, only to see that the color of the stream had lost the emerald green it had when he first came, but had turned into a turbid yellow mud color!
God, how did they come to live in the mountains in such weather! It's a dead end!
"Let's go! If you don't run, it's too late! Ling Ran didn't care about finding any sharp weapons to defend himself, so he grabbed Chu Yijun's hand and rushed out.
They ran all the way in the direction perpendicular to the stream, towards the high forest, desperate and racing against time!
However, suddenly, on the slightly steep stretch of the road above them, several huge cracks suddenly appeared, and the cracks were extending and cracking towards their place at an alarming speed!
Ling Ran hurriedly ran to the side, but when she looked up, she couldn't help but be stunned, only to see a huge piece of dead wood falling towards her at a rapid speed!
At the last moment, a tall figure quickly threw her to the side, and the dead wood just brushed their feet.
"Quick! Not again! He staggered to his feet, but Ling Ran saw countless gravel falling down in this direction.
"Let's go, I'll protect you!" The whole body was dragged into Chu Yijun's arms, and the two figures, one large and one small, struggled to navigate through the complex terrain, dodging the falling rocks in embarrassment.
On several occasions, Chu Yijun used his strong body to help Ling Ran withstand the impact of a few small stones, and on their limbs, there were also all kinds of scratches and bumps, but since they were running for their lives, they had no time to care about the pain, they just kept a clear head at all times, and were ready to be summoned by the god of death at any time!
However, just as they were about to run to a high ground, Ling Ran's feet slipped, Chu Yijun reacted quickly and hurriedly grabbed her hand, but the palms of both of them were full of sweat, and they couldn't grasp it at all!
