Chapter 075: The Coming Storm (4)

The moon was full in the sky, the cold moonlight was evenly sprinkled in the jungle, and under the trees on earth, two lonely figures snuggled quietly.

At some point, the darkness around it split and dissipated like fish scales, and the jungle finally unveiled its mysteries and revealed its true appearance.

It turned out that this was a small forest with lush vegetation, covered with calf-high artemisia grass, and eucalyptus trees of nearly 20 meters were closely connected, and among the bushes, a light mist slowly drifted in.

Under the shadow of the moon, the fallen leaves shimmer with starlight, and at first glance, I thought this was a place where immortals lived in seclusion.

However, there were no immortals in this jungle forbidden land, nor a trace of so-called immortal energy, only a depressed dead qi.

At the end of the woods, there is a solid high wall, the wall is embedded with burgundy spikes, and several rotting corpses are hooked, and at the top of the wall is a grid of purple light, which sometimes sounds "crackling", which sounds particularly penetrating.

There is no one who stays in this forbidden jungle who does not want to live, but there is only a dead end in front of them.

escaped, either stabbed to death by a spike, or electrocuted; stayed, either by other people who were cannon fodder, or was sent into the competition to kill those contestants.

The fate of cannon fodder can be imagined, so many people feel that it is better to hold the right of life and death in their own hands than to be "skinned and deboned" by them and die without dignity.

At this moment, there was another miserable hiss echoing in the forbidden place, and there was another lonely soul on the blood-red spike.

Qiu Qiong leaned her back against the tree tiredly, staring blankly ahead, and couldn't help but let out a long breath. Just dragging Xu Tian to the safety of these four places where no one was safe, it almost took her all her strength, besides, her legs were still a little numb, even if she sat down, she would still tremble a few times from time to time.

And Xu Tian, who had a blue nose and swollen face, leaned his head lightly on Qiu Qiong's shoulder, and after moaning in pain, he patted the back of her hand weakly with his left hand, and then made a "yes" gesture to her, and asked in a weak tone like a thread: "Miss Xu...... Just now...... What happened? ”

Qiu Qiong put one hand on her knee, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said with a light smile: "Ha, something can still happen!" They were all scared away by me! ”

"Scared...... Scare away? This...... How can it be...... The fists of the six people ......" Xu Tian raised his hand with great effort, and was about to scratch the itch on his forehead, but because he couldn't see the injury on his face, his fingertips inadvertently touched the bulge in the corner of his eye, and he took a big breath in pain and shouted, "Oops! Pain, pain, pain! ”

Qiu Qiong turned his head and saw that a small insect flew to his forehead, so he hurriedly waved his hand to drive away the insect, and said with a worried face: "You, if you don't have that ability, don't go up!" Thankfully, those six thugs didn't do their best, otherwise you would have died. ”

Xu Tian was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely like a walnut: "No...... Haven't used all your strength yet? I don't believe it...... Miss Xu, do you mean...... You were the one who knocked them all away......"

"Ha, of course not! Although I'm not afraid of them, I still know how many pounds and taels I have, but I'm not like you! After all, they are thugs, and they have to undergo rigorous training since they were young, and they are not sloppy at all! And all the functions of their human body have basically been developed to the limit, without a single loophole! I can deal with intelligent mechas, but if I want to deal with them, don't do it! ”

Xu Tian slowly sat up straight, his eyes barely opened a slit, and then he found that not far in front of him were rows of long nails stained with human blood, which frightened him so much that his heart trembled, his back door was cold, and his hands hurriedly moved forward twice.

"Haha, don't worry, I can't pierce you." Qiu Qiong laughed.

Xu Tian followed the breath with one hand, and silently calculated the distance between himself and the spike, which was about three or four meters away, and it was indeed impossible to pierce anyone. Then, he looked back at Qiu Qiong with his swollen eyes, and saw that she had no injuries on her body, so he asked very puzzledly, "Miss Xu...... So why didn't they chase after them? It's because ...... These nails? ”

For a long time, Xu Tian only knew that before the start of the competition, those who were selected as cannon fodder would be sent to the forbidden places in various competition areas, but he didn't know what the forbidden places were like, let alone that there would be such terrifying anti-escape devices here.

"That's not it, these nails look horrible, but if you don't want to die, who will touch them." Qiu Qiong shook her head and sighed, and said lightly, "The six thugs didn't chase after them because of 'Nangong Siyuan'." ”

"Huh? This...... What does this have to do with Chief Nangong? Xu Tian tilted his neck, and there seemed to be a big question mark hanging over his head. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, the big question mark immediately turned into an exclamation mark, and he gasped in surprise and exclaimed, "No! Don't...... Chief Nangong is here! Miss Xu, this is a chance to live! Chief Nangong has always taken care of you, if you ask him for intercession, maybe we can both go out! ”

Qiu Qiong was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xu Tian with disgust on her face, and pouted: "Tsk, what do you want!" I'm not going to plead with that guy with a knife in his smile! Besides, he's not here, I'm just borrowing his name for a while! ”

"Huh? What can his name do......" Xu Tian pursed his lips in disappointment, like two big red sausages squeezing each other.

"Alas, Lao Xu told me, he said that this greedy town has a very heavy class concept! Those who are in the lower echelons will never dare to provoke those who stand on their top! Therefore, I lied and said that I had Nangong Siyuan on top of me! Not to mention, this lie is quite effective, and as soon as I tell it, they won't dare to do it! Moreover, I dragged you all the way here, and they didn't dare to come and trouble us! ”

Xu Tian nodded thoughtfully, gave Qiuqiong a thumbs up, and sighed: "It's me Xu Tian who is stupid, why can't I think of such a clever plan!" When they heard the name 'Nangong Siyuan', they were probably frightened! Miss Xu, admire below! ”

Qiu Qiong hurriedly shook her hand and said with a smile: "Don't talk too much!" Perhaps, they just didn't react for a while, and when they all woke up, they would definitely come to the door again! ”

"Hehe, that's not going to happen! If I say it, they will definitely not believe it, but Miss Xu, they will believe what you say! Xu Tian secretly rejoiced.

"Why?"

"It's easy! Miss Xu, you go and look in the mirror and see your face, it is really a good match with Chief Nangong! You say that you are the lover of Chief Nangong, and I bet they are absolutely convinced! ”

When Qiu Qiong heard this, she immediately pulled up a handful of artemisia grass and confused Xu Tian's face.

"Xu Tian, I warn you! If you dare to say something like that again, I'll go straight to the punch next time! ”

Xu Tian couldn't help but smirk, but this smile accidentally pulled the wound on his face, and it hurt

He "babbled" and screamed. Then, I saw him holding his red and swollen cheeks with both hands, and said hesitantly: "Miss Xu...... I'm still going to say it...... What a good person is Chief Nangong...... First they arranged for us to be in the best cell, and then they brought us water every two days, how much worry did they do...... If I were a girl, I would never let him go......"

"Hey, you're disgusting!"

Qiu Qiong said with disgust on her face, then turned her back to Xu Tian, and lay on her side on the grass, and at the same time brought a piece of wood that was not long or short nearby, and pillowed it under her head. Seeing this, Xu Tian hurriedly moved a little farther away and leaned under another tree.

Nangong Siyuan...... I saw him once, beat him once! Qiu Qiong thought to herself, "If he hadn't stopped us halfway, Lao Xu and I would probably be on our way back to Lazy Town right now!" No matter how much he does, it won't change my opinion of him, he is a person who is very deep in the city and hides a knife in his smile! ”

Suddenly, a stone fell in front of Qiu Qiong with two clicks, she looked back, only to see Xu Tian waving his hand to her stupidly, and after smiling reluctantly, she said vaguely: "Miss Xu, it's not early, rest quickly...... Tomorrow...... I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow......"

"Hmm."

Qiu Qiong sighed silently, frowned slightly, and looked into the distance with melancholy eyes.

Tomorrow? Do the math, how many tomorrows are there?

…………

Sleepless nights.

When the first rays of sunlight appeared in this jungle forbidden place, there was a beautiful birdsong among the dense branches, and I thought they were so happy when I heard them chirping. But in fact, like the people who are locked up here, they are imprisoned by the power grid that emits purple light, and they can't fly out of this huge "birdcage" for the rest of their lives.

Qiu Qiong stretched and took a deep breath of fresh air, but at this time, she didn't feel half refreshed. She couldn't help choking, only to feel that her throat felt like it was cracked, not only could it be difficult to move up and down, but also had a pulling pain. And her whole body fell into a state of lack of water, her lips were pale and dry, her mind began to be a little trance, and her hands and feet did not have much strength.

"Xu Tian......" Qiu Qiong shouted in a hoarse voice.

“……”

At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps from the depths of the woods, and suddenly a "thud" swept across the meadow, and was speeding towards their position.

Qiu Qiong's heart tightened, she stood up with both hands, turned her head to take a look, and saw Xu Tian leaning against the tree and falling asleep, and no matter how she shouted, he just couldn't wake up.

In desperation, Qiu Qiong had no choice but to pick up a big pebble and throw it over with all her might. Unexpectedly, it hit Xu Tian's head.

"Oops! Pain! ”

With a scream, Xu Tian finally opened his eyes.

"Don't sleep! Someone's coming! Qiu Qiong exclaimed.

"Huh? Who! ”

Xu Tian shouted, then bounced off the ground, rushed to Qiu Qiong's side, faced the depths of the woods, and suddenly raised his fists. However, in the blink of an eye, he gradually lowered his hand in a daze.

Qiu Qiong frowned, nervous and apprehensive in her heart, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Who's coming? ”

But Xu Tian didn't answer immediately, he just smiled stupidly and said happily: "Miss Xu, we're really fine." ”
