Chapter 50: Escape from Death
Xie Tianrui didn't look back and was busy fighting, but because of the pain of being eaten by insects, the end of his words trembled unconsciously: "You... You're really ...... I've told you to stay there, and you're going to have to come here, do you know it's dangerous here. ”
Tang Yining accurately grasped the blame and trembling in his words, lowered his head, and the tears that had just been withdrawn now came out again: "I...... I'm worried about you, I'm afraid you're afraid of you because I'm ......" The rest of the words, she didn't dare to say and didn't want to say.
Tang Yining knew that Xie Tianrui might be very uncomfortable at the moment, but she had no choice but to stand there stupidly, watching Xie Tianrui fight for his life.
She doesn't know how to treat medicine, her only strength is making jewelry, and at this moment, she really feels that she is very useless, she can't help anything, she can only watch that person get injured in order to protect her, and she may become his oil bottle.
It's so uncomfortable, this feeling. Watching that person desperately protect her, she could only watch from the sidelines.
was too disgusted with herself, Tang Yining simply hugged herself and cried.
The fear still spread throughout her body, without slowing down in the slightest, and she was even more frightened because she was worried about the current situation of the two, and her head buried in her arm trembled slightly. You can see that she is very sad.
Xie Tianrui's eyes flickered, he glanced at Tang Yining, and when he saw that she was so frightened that he cried, he frowned: "What are you crying about?" Now I'm driving away the bugs, and it's not you, why are you crying? ”
Tang Yining was stunned for a moment, crying more and more sadly. "That's why I cry, because I see you desperately trying to protect me, and I see that you can't do anything......" There was a bit of self-blame, a little uncomfortable, and a little scared between the words. Xie Tianrui pursed his lips and was noncommittal to her words. The sword in his hand was still waving, and one insect after another died under his sword......
But...... But there's still so much to be done.
Tang Yining raised his head, his face was full of tears, and his face was full of despair: "We, are we unable to leave...... Are you going to die here......"
Xie Tianrui frowned, his face full of disapproval: "What nonsense? How could we possibly die? Don't cry, it's annoying me. ”
When Tang Yining heard his words, she immediately stopped her tears, she had nothing to do for him, but she could absolutely obey his orders.
Watching him kill countless insects, looking at his bloody but determined face in the sea of insects, and seeing the ends of his hair still tied with the hairband she helped him, he suddenly felt that all this was so unreal.
"Rustling ......"
More and more bugs don't know where to come out of nowhere, crawling all over the walls and all over the floor. The black one pressed over like a dark cloud, and surrounded Xie Tianrui and Tang Yining.
"How, what to do?" Tang Yining asked tremblingly.
Of course, she could see that Xie Tianrui was no match for those bugs, and as time gradually passed, his movements became slower and slower. Seeing that Xie Tianrui was so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms, but there were more and more insects. And she couldn't do anything.
"Run!" Xie Tianrui spun around with all his might, waved his hand to kill the insects around him, and pulled Tang Yining and ran out.
The thief hole stretched crookedly, dark and endless. There was not a shred of human smoke in the hollow, and there was no light.
Xie Tianrui and Tang Yining didn't know the direction in a panic, they just kept running in along the road. While running Xie Tianrui, he set up obstacles to guide the insects to drill into the thief hole, anyway, the head was sealed, so there was no need to think about the insects that ran in front of them suddenly.
Tang Yining understood that she had no other role than to drag her feet, so she followed closely behind Xie Tianrui without saying a word. It's just that her physical strength is not as good as Xie Tianrui's, and after a while, she feels weak.
She lifted her arm to look, and saw that there were many holes in it that had been bitten by insects at some point, and there were many obvious holes in the inevitable white and tender skin, and there was a long scratch on the wall at some point. The blood slowly flowed down with her running, blooming on her body like a flower on the other side, and the white complexion looked particularly bewitching.
Tang Yining frowned fiercely, shook his arm, threw down the insects that jumped up, and rushed forward through gritted teeth.
The corridor spreads, and there are constantly forks, but at this point they simply don't have time to think about which way to go. Xie Tianrui ran forward with his instincts, and fortunately they didn't encounter a dead end until now.
"Wow-"
Kicked over the coffin, and the cyan corpse inside rolled out. I don't know why all the corpses in this tomb are well preserved, and none of them are decomposed. The bugs squeaked and squeaked, gnawing the corpse to the bone.
Tang Yining had a chill.
It can't go on like this, even if they don't reach a dead end all the time, sooner or later they will run out of strength and die here.
Tang Yining's brain was running rapidly, and fragments kept flashing in his mind. From modern tomb robberies to some ancient ornaments she studied in her spare time, she finally fixed her memories in a certain fragment.
She slapped her head in annoyance, why didn't she think of it just now! If I had thought of it just now, I wouldn't have gone to that room to check, and now I'm being chased everywhere by bugs!
"Thank you, there must be another exit from this tomb! Just find that exit and we'll be able to get out! ”
After speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and even more annoyed. What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?!
"Follow me."
Xie Tianrui said sullenly, cheered up, and carefully watched the surroundings.
"Squeak-squeak-squeak-"
The swarm behind suddenly let out a scream. Tang Yining and Xie Tianrui looked back at the same time and saw a terrifying scene.
The bugs in front were originally only the size of a grain of rice, but at some point, the bugs in the back began to bite the bugs in front, and the bugs fought and devoured each other, and now there is a group of black bugs the size of oranges in the back.
Slime splattered out of the bodies of the defeated bugs, spraying everywhere. The small worm is bitten and swallowed by the large worm, and then the large worm expands at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's disgusting.
The insects on the winning side began to grow wings and pincers, and they shook their slimy wings and flew up and down faster than before.
"Poof...... Poof......"
Tang Yining only felt that this might be the nightmare of her life.
"Don't ...... Don't stop, keep running! ”
Xie Tianrui's voice was a little hoarse, he grabbed Tang Yining, who was sitting on the ground, and continued to run forward.
The tooth-aching "creaking" sound kept coming. Tang Yining suddenly knew why those bugs were chasing after them - because there were bigger bugs chasing them behind!
Holding the jewelry in his hand tightly, his eyes gradually turned black, and the only thought in Tang Yining's heart at this time was to follow Xie Tianrui. He was the only one left in her eyes at this time, and he was like the only light in her world!
"Sober up!"
Xie Tianrui's anxious yelling was faintly heard in her ears, but she couldn't hear it clearly. Xie Tianrui held her hand tightly and slipped. The tender touch has become rough by this time. Blood flowed from his forehead, obscuring his fulfillment, and his whole world was red at this time.
“…… Xie Tianrui. Tang Yining suddenly called weakly.
"What?" Xie Tianrui took her into his arms, turned around and gave the group of bugs a knife.
"Leave me alone, you...... Let's go. Tang Yining said a little frustratedly.
He is so high, what a noble identity, what a glorious life, if he lives, he can also benefit the world. But what about her? She is just a second miss of waste wood in the eyes of the world, even if she goes out, she can only make some jewelry, what else can she do?
And maybe she's dead here, and she'll be back to the modern age! She still remembers the people she spoiled and loved her in modern times, not like in this dangerous ancient time, so dangerous, so ...... Lonely.
"You know what you're talking about?!" Xie Tianrui had a pair of red eyes, picked her up, and rushed forward regardless of it, "If you hold on for a while, we will be saved, we will all survive, please ......" Hold on a little longer.
Xie Tianrui couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at this time, he only knew that when he heard the sound of "let's go", his whole heart almost exploded.
Again, again?! Again he can't protect the people he wants to protect?!
"Persistence?" How to insist. Tang Yining closed his eyes weakly and fainted heavily.
A fragment suddenly flashed through her memory, and she suddenly remembered it in a daze. It seemed that she was still a child, and there was a constant murmur in her ears, accompanied by the whisper of someone who did not know who was in her ear: "Live, live...... Go down ......"
The murmur never stopped, and all she could hear in the darkness was the bloody murmur. Fragments of chaotic memories struck her overwhelmingly, and she opened her eyes suddenly, the expression in which she was dark but full of pain, and her whole body was agitated.
"Let me down, I'll go by myself!"
Tang Yining struggled to jump down, holding Xie Tianrui's broad palm tightly, and immediately stabilized Xie Tianrui's heart that was on the verge of collapse, "Let's go together." ”
The voice in his ears was so weak that he could barely hear it, but Xie Tianrui felt a peace that he had never felt before. He thought that he died here with Tang Yining at this time, and he had no regrets.
"Okay, let's do it together."
The two men supported each other and stumbled on the run, the sound behind them gradually becoming quieter, and finally only a regular clicking sound remained. Insects of unimaginable size crowded into each other's corridors and pounced on them in tacit harmony along the corridors.
"Hold on a little longer, and we'll be at the exit soon."
The subtle wind of different sensations swept across Xie Tianrui's face, and he keenly grasped it. Turn around and kick down all the obstacles around you that can block those bugs, even if those obstacles will be cut open by the pincers of the big bugs in less than a second, but it will drag on for a certain amount of time.
"There's light ahead!"
