Chapter 263: Encountering People in the Cave

Shi Yu'er stared intently at the movements of the piranhas around her, the twitching of the corners of the fish's mouths, the subtle swing of the scales on her body, and the momentum of the fish's eyes were all gathered into her eyes. However, the piranhas were also watching her, and after a few back-and-forth confrontations, they also understood that the person in front of them was not an easy person to deal with.

After a sudden silence, the piranhas launched a new round of attacks, and they changed their previous strategy of exploring the enemy alone, and the outermost piranhas rushed up and attacked her limbs without iron armor. She slammed down on the head of a fish with one hand, and her body sprang to her feet, stabbing at the heads of the attacking fish as the silver serpent sword clashed between their sharp teeth.

After a few rounds of fighting, Shi Yuer found that although these piranhas were as hard as iron armor all over their bodies, there was one weakness in them, that is, their eyes, although the thing was big and terrifying, and the red liquid was poisonous, but as long as it was avoided, there was no danger, so when attacking them, as long as they pierced their eyes, they could be killed in one fell swoop.

After Shi Yuer came to this conclusion, her confidence increased greatly.

But these piranhas are not stupid, after she killed several of their kind in a row, she became familiar with her attack routines, and also knew how to avoid her attacks to better protect her "soft underbelly", and they would cooperate with each other to disrupt her plans, so after she tried to design attack targets for a while, the piranhas killed fewer and fewer later.

There are still more than half of the piranhas with their big mouths that want to tear her apart in one fell swoop, and the continuous high-intensity battle against piranhas, Shi Yuer is very tired and tired at this time, but her strong willpower still supports her, she told herself that she must not fall, and she must not become the food in the belly of this group of piranhas. She didn't plan to use the broken intestines on her body yet, and she wouldn't use it until the moment she was exhausted.

Her eyes were fixed on these piranhas, looking for a way to break the enemy.

Kill, avoid the edge, kill ...... Blood spread around her.

The bloody battle lasted for an hour, and when Shi Yuer killed the last piranha, she no longer had a piece of good meat on her body, the flesh and blood on her hands and feet were blurred, the new wounds were bleeding continuously, and the old wounds had turned white after being soaked in water.

She was so tired that she knew she had to swim ashore as quickly as possible, or the next wave of piranhas would come back.

But she didn't swim for long, the water on the lake splashed again, and a piranha broke through the water, and her body tensed, and she immediately entered a state of preparation.

This group of piranhas are bigger, the body is a man long, the sharp teeth exposed in the open mouth are as cold and miserable as a sword halberd, she forced a breath, took the initiative to attack, and went up, the silver snake sword stabbed away with a force like a bamboo, those piranhas did not warn that she would strike first, and this sword was so powerful, it was impossible to avoid it, the tip of the sword pierced their eyes like ghosts and ghosts, and suddenly red blood flowed wildly, and the fish in the sword was killed immediately.

Her bloody slaughter provoked the fury of the piranhas behind her, and they pounced on Bai Sensen's sharp teeth, and her sword just now drew almost all the strength of her body, and her whole body was as weak as cotton, and she knew that she was powerless to fight when she saw them pounce on them.

Luckily, there was still a piece of sausage to work with, and she pulled it out of her iron cloak, and when the piranhas approached her, she threw her head at them, and it was up to her to make or break it. Suddenly, the air was filled with the smell of broken intestines, and she stared intently at these piranhas. She was horrified, thinking that this time they were really going to die in the belly of the fish, but they stopped in the next second, and all the fish turned white and killed them on the spot.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't have half of her strength in her body, and she didn't have any extra broken intestines, so she didn't dare to stumble, dragging her scarred body towards the shore of the lake.

Maybe it was a pity for the sky, and then, she didn't touch the piranha again, and dragged her tired body to the shore with great difficulty, as soon as she touched the ground, her body spread on the ground, and she couldn't move for a long time.

After resting for half an hour, she got up from the ground and limped towards Qingliang Mountain. At the foot of Qingliang Mountain, there is a high platform for inspection, on which are guarded by the people of the Ten Halls of Yama. She knew that it was not only impossible for her to force herself through at this time, but she had exposed herself, making tonight's achievements undone.

She suddenly thought that there was a cold stone stream in the depression on the side of Qingliang Mountain near the West Patrol Platform, and there was a waterfall on top of the stream, if you climbed up along the stones on the edge of the waterfall, you could also reach the top of Qingliang Mountain, and then climb over this mountain, and then go out of the range of Lingxiao Courtyard. There are also the sentry posts of the Ten Halls of Yama on the back mountain, but they only patrol occasionally, and the area is lush with vegetation and many mountain paths, so it is not difficult to avoid their sight.

The moonlight was like water, and everywhere was covered with a layer of quiet and hazy flowing silver frost, and the lush vegetation on the cool mountain side cast heavy or faint shadows on the stone path.

She crawled forward in the grass, avoiding the sight of the guards on the high platform to the cold stone stream, wading and then to the edge of the waterfall, the waterfall is about twenty meters high, surrounded by slippery stones, fortunately at this time it is the late winter and early spring, the waterfall is not large, she used the silver snake sword file on the gap in the stone, and climbed up with great difficulty.

Lying on the top of the mountain, she suddenly heard the moaning of people, she was alert, looked around, but did not see any Tibetan place, and then listened carefully, and found that the sound was near here, she fixed her eyes around, and by the bright moonlight, she found that there seemed to be a hole near the top of the mountain, and the cave was surrounded by weeds and vines, and no one usually noticed it, and the sound came from the cave.

She didn't know who this person was, but she could tell that this person was definitely not from the Ten Temples Yama. Maybe it was a hunter who got lost here, maybe it was a "fugitive" like her, she thought of the man who escaped from the dungeon and killed so many piranhas in the Moon Lake to make her way, and wondered, "Could it be him?" ”

But then she shook her head negatively, "Didn't that person escape?" It can't be still here. ”

She cautiously crawled towards the mouth of the cave, opened the vines at the entrance, and asked in a low voice, "But is there anyone?" ”

There was no one inside to answer, and she knew that there were people inside, so she said, "I'm not a bad person." ”

There was still no movement inside, and suddenly a furry thing jumped to her feet, making a humming sound, she was startled at first, and then a little dumbfounded, "Could it be that you were the one who moaned just now?" ”

The little hairy monkey squeaked, and she laughed to herself and stooped into the hole.

The light in the cave was dim, and she couldn't see what was inside, and suddenly she felt a chill on her neck, and a cold sword was on her neck, she was startled, and opened her lips, "I...... There is no malice, you can put down the sword, I will not hurt you, maybe...... You'll need my help to get out of here, I'm familiar with the area. ”

The man's sword fell to the ground with a clatter, and he fell to the ground with it, startling the monkey and screaming.

"Are you alright?" Shi Yu'er hurriedly helped him up.

Accidentally touching the wound on the man's body, he hissed, Shi Yu'er knew that the man was seriously injured, and when it touched his arm, it was a bumpy wound with ulceration and pus, and she knew very well that it was a piranha bite wound.

"I'm sorry." She said.

The man didn't answer, and Shi Yu'er continued: "After a few battles with the piranha, I don't have half the strength now, I'll spend the night in your cave tonight, and I'll help you find some herbs to heal your injuries tomorrow." ”

Hearing the piranha, the man's face was surprised, and his gaze at her became much kinder, and he wanted to say something, but he squeaked hoarsely and couldn't say it for a while.

"What's wrong with your throat?" Shi Yuer asked.

The man's face turned gloomy, and he didn't answer.

"You're so powerful, you actually killed so many piranhas, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get out of Moon Lake alive, so, I have to thank you." Shi Yuer said.

"This piranha bite wound must be treated immediately, otherwise the residual poison will spread to other parts of the body, this is the healing medicine I brought, I have used it and there is still a little left, you can use it."

The man glanced at her and took the white jade bottle in her hand.

Shi Yu'er was exhausted, and she didn't say much, so she leaned against the entrance of the cave and dozed off.

The next morning, as soon as the sky showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, she woke up, and when she looked at the man inside, she saw clearly the age and appearance of the man, who was about forty years old, and his face seemed to be somewhat familiar, and his body was full of festering wounds with flesh and skin, especially the wound on his leg, and almost the bones were visible.

It was even more seriously injured than she imagined, and she couldn't help frowning, "It turns out that you are so badly injured, wait for me, I will go to the mountains to collect some herbs." ”

The man nodded.

After a night's rest, Shi Yu'er's strength in her body regained seventy-seven eighty-eight, but the wound was still very painful, and she climbed to the top of the mountain with her hands and feet.

This area belongs to the blind spot on the patrol platform, plus there is a waterfall below, and the mountain is close to the piranha Moon Lake, so the people of the Ten Halls of Yama rarely patrol this area. She searched for herbs to cure her poisonous wounds, and after a while she had harvested a large bundle, and she picked some wild fruits and vegetables, and some stones and dry firewood, and brought them back to the cave.

She mashed the herbs on the stone and applied them to his wounds, "These herbs can relieve certain poisons and speed up the healing of wounds on your body." ”

"Eat some of these fruits to satisfy your hunger." She gave the fruit to the man.

The man looked at her gratefully, and when he looked at her eyebrows, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes looked at her like knives.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yu'er felt that the atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and asked in surprise.

The man brushed the fruit from her hand, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
