Chapter 70: The Bet
The dust settles, and the leaves fall mercilessly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEverything is quiet again, if there are no traces left by broken trees and branches, who would have thought that just now, there was a tragic fire here.
The demon was seriously injured, turned into black smoke, and fled. Yan Su didn't even leave a corpse behind, and was directly devoured by the self-detonating imitation weapon.
"Brother Yan, you ...... Hey, I hurt you. Duan Zerui struggled to get up, pressed one hand to his chest, and sighed helplessly.
He had thought that Yan Su had lost his soul, but just as he sighed, there was a rapid coughing sound from behind a boulder.
"Ahem! Uh, ahem! ā
Duan Zerui instinctively became vigilant and looked for prestige, but saw a corner of clothes exposed behind the boulder. Looking at the color and pattern, I felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, wasn't it the clothes Yan Su was wearing?
"Brother Yan, is that you?" Duan Zerui was surprised and delighted, and said tentatively.
"Ahem, it's not me, who else? Come and help me, Lao Tzu is sore now, cough cough, no strength at all. Yan Su seemed to have been hit hard, and kept coughing.
Duan Zerui walked quickly to the back of the boulder, and found Yan Su, who was dying and lying on the ground, and his hanging heart finally let go. He touched his body for a long time, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill from it, and fed it to Yan Su to eat.
The pill was ingested, turned into a little bit of soul power, and integrated into Yan Su's body. Suddenly, he felt that his depleted soul power seemed to be nourished and was slowly recovering.
"How did you do that?" Seeing that Yan Su's expression had improved slightly, Duan Zerui relieved himself and immediately asked.
"Hey, it's a secret. Want to know, take something in exchange. Yan Su said.
"Cut, love to say it or not, I don't want to know yet!" Duan Zerui sat on the side, using his soul power, silently breathing, his injuries were not light, and the new injuries were added to the old ones, which were more serious than Yan Su's injuries. However, his cultivation is profound, and he can still bear it.
"Hehe, it's actually nothing, it's my soul technique-Dream. The me you saw earlier was just a fake body. Yan Su explained.
"Oh, no wonder, I felt something was wrong at the time, I just didn't think much of it. Presumably, the evil ghost was also careless, and he didn't have the slightest defense. Duan Zerui suddenly came to his senses.
The two chatted while recovering, and half a day later, they returned to the tree hole together. Although the tree hole has been destroyed, there is a hidden hole underneath. For the rest of the day, the two of them recuperated in this cave.
In the blink of an eye, it was another half a month.
On this day, Yan Su said goodbye and left, and before leaving, Duan Zerui handed him a waist card, telling him that if he was in trouble in the future, as long as he held this token, he could enter this place.
Since then, Yan Su has lived in the old forest for a period of time every year, ranging from a few days to a month. The friendship between the two also grew.
This time, Yan Su was framed by Feng Yuhe's design, fled with serious injuries, lurked in the old forest of Shahe, and was rescued by Duan Zerui, so he escaped their pursuit. These days, Yan Su has been healing inside, and in his spare time, he plays chess with Duan Zerui to relieve his boredom.
"Hey, it looks like someone has barged in." Duan Zerui sensed the breath of the living and prepared to get up to check.
"Don't be busy, it's your own people." Yan Su said.
"Your own people? Do you mean your people? Strange, how do you know? Duan Zerui asked a series of questions.
Yan Su nodded and explained, "That's right, it's them. If you smell it carefully, is there a strange fragrance in the air? ā
Duan Zerui sniffed, and sure enough, there was a fragrance in the surrounding air, and the taste was very light, and if you didn't distinguish it carefully, you could hardly feel it.
"This is the signal of our Yan family, it seems that they have already taken care of the affairs of the family. Hey, it is estimated that this time, my Yan family has lost a lot of sons. Of the three major families in Mustard City, I am afraid that there are only two left. Yan Su muttered to himself. It was just his guess, and he didn't know what was going on outside during this time.
"Oh, since they're coming for you, why don't you hurry up and pick them up." Duan Zerui said.
"Hey, don't worry, it's rare to have a chance to let them practice, I think, just let them stay in your maze for a while!" Yan Su said.
"Why, do you want to sharpen their minds? It's okay, it's idle anyway, why don't we make a bet? Duan Zerui proposed.
"Bet on what?"
"Just bet on how long they can hold out in the maze, and whoever guesses the closer the time wins."
"Cut, it's so boring, let's talk about bets!"
"Well, I haven't thought about this yet, what do you think?"
Yan Su's eyes rolled, and he had an idea in his heart, he said: "If you want to gamble, play big, if I lose, let you send me, do three things for you, you can do whatever you want." If you lose, I don't want anything else, just lend me your Yuan Qi Recipe to practice for a year. ā
"Sounds good, but why do you think I'm at a loss? Ah, you old boy, haven't you been beating me up for a long time. Duan Zerui shouted as if he had realized something.
"Less nonsense, you just don't dare!" Yan Su didn't bother to explain, and asked.
"What don't I dare, this is what you said, if you lose, you can let me send you to do three things. When the time comes, don't go back. Duan Zerui said.
"Whoever repents, who is a puppy."
The two old men are still childlike, talking and laughing, and have similar interests.
Outside, Yan Sanjun and Yan Tianming were exploring in the forest, and they walked for a long time, but they didn't find any valuable clues. The signal has been released for so long, and there has been no news from Yan Su so far.
The two of them were a little discouraged, they hadn't gotten news for so long, maybe there was only one possibility, that is, Yan Su wasn't here at all.
After walking for a while, the two stopped to rest, and in the midst of this jungle, they had to keep their soul energy full at all times, just in case.
"Patriarch, how long have we been gone?" Yan Sanjun asked suddenly.
"About two hours!" Yan Tianming said.
"Two hours, why are we still in the same place? You see, the mark on the tree in front of me was left by me when I passed by. Yan Sanjun said.
"What? Still in place. Yan Tianming glanced up at the mark on the tree in front of him, frowned, and said, "It's not good, if it's not expected, this old forest is a natural maze." We may be trapped inside. ā
"Maze? No wonder I felt something was wrong from the beginning, it turned out to be a formation here. Yan Sanjun said suddenly. As soon as he entered this old forest, he found that the location of each tree in it was very regular, as if it implied the meaning of the formation, so he made a mark on the trunk.
Now it seems that he was completely right.
