Chapter 38: Life Hangs by a Thread

Chang Huipestle waited in place for a long time, and when he turned around and wanted to go out, he found that the mud under his feet had become like water, and before he realized what had changed, the whole person went straight into it. The smelly sewage instantly poured into his mouth and nose, Chang Hui panicked, and the instinct for survival drove him to struggle desperately, but the more he struggled, the deeper his body sank.

Fortunately, the medicine gourd had foresight, and at this life-and-death juncture, his incomparably long belt played a role. In the past, Chang Hui often wondered why the belt tied with the medicine gourd was so long, but now he should understand that it was a lifeline.

The medicine gourd tightened the end of the belt, and Shi Zhong and Tu Qitang immediately reacted, using their true qi to pull Chang Hui up from the deadly sewage.

Chang Hui climbed up in embarrassment, there was no clean place from head to toe, he wiped his face indiscriminately, blinked his eyes stinged by the mud, spit out the dirt in his mouth vigorously, took a few deep breaths, and finally felt alive again.

"Hey, hey......" Chang Hui held the hand handed over by Shizhong, barely stood up, looked at the sewage that almost killed him, and still felt terrified, the sense of horror that his life was hanging by a thread was still very strong, and he couldn't help sighing, "It's really evil, I, I don't know what's going on, I just feel that a hand is pulling my foot and pulling it down......"

Shizhong comforted: "Okay, it's okay now." ”

"Hmm......" Chang Hui didn't feel ashamed, he wanted to explain clearly to find out the truth, "I really feel like there's a hand dragging me, I don't believe you're ......"

As he spoke, Chang Hui rolled up his right trouser leg and showed them his ankle: "There should be a handprint, but it still hurts hotly, huh?" ”

Chang Hui didn't see the footprints, but found that his calves had turned purple and black, his heart skipped two beats, and he hurriedly rolled up his left trouser leg again, both legs were purple and black.

"Senior, senior, what's wrong with me?" Chang Hui didn't dare to look up again, he was afraid that his body would also become this lifeless color.

"Poisoning." The medicine gourd explained briefly in two words, pointing to one of the three forks in the road and saying, "Stand up, you can't soak in the mud anymore." ”

Shi Zhong and Tu Qitang glanced at each other, and according to the instructions of the medicine gourd, they carried Liu Ye on their backs and walked up the slightly dry road in the middle. Chang Hui followed, afraid that the smell on his body would smoke them, so he embarrassedly pestle on the edge and stretched out his hand to the medicine gourd: "Senior, you can come up too, although you are not poisonous, but you can't know that it is poisonous, and you are still staying there!" ”

The medicine gourd didn't respond, thinking about something to himself, he leaned over and picked up the stone at his feet and threw it towards the entrance of the cave. As he expected, the original mud had turned into sewage, and if it wasn't for the water floating, it would have to fall into the cesspool. Yao Hulu wondered in his heart, could it be that he fell for the monster's witchcraft? It was wading through the mud, but why is it now a cesspool? Or is it that the monster deliberately lured them in and let them get in or out, just like they had the idea?

If so, the monster may be approaching them, thinking it has what it takes to catch them all, and unwittingly laying a trap. And he believed that he had defeated it, and despised the other party for falling into a trap. At this time, the medicine gourd finally had a sense of crisis, he was not afraid of traps alone, and it was enough to live to this age. But he also has to protect the prince and princess, and his life cannot be taken by that monster.

If you want to leave, you must pass through the poisonous pool in front of you, and among the few of them, it is estimated that the only person who has the ability to reach the entrance of the cave safely is Tu Qitang, not to mention Chang Hui, and even the division is almost in flames. But how deep Tu Qitang's skill is, the medicine gourd can't be sure, after all, they haven't fought each other, so this kind of thought flashed and didn't go deeper.

Everyone saw the stones sinking to the bottom of the pool, and they all guessed the thoughts of the medicine gourd, they knew that the monster was not easy to deal with, and they also knew that they were in danger, but they did not complain about the medicine gourd. They voluntarily went up the mountain to round up the monsters, and they had long expected that they would face such and such dangers, and since things had developed to this point, they did not think of retreating.

The surrounding atmosphere was relatively depressing, and Tu Qitang pretended to be relaxed and said: "If you can't get out, you can't get out, it's nothing, we shouldn't have thought about that way out." There's no way back to succeed, isn't it? ”

Liu Ye jumped down from the back of the division, and then said: "Yes, sooner or later, you have to face it head-on, rather than waiting, it is better to take the initiative to attack." ”

Shi Zhong also said: "Even if the monster has a little witchcraft, it can't beat us, so don't worry." ”

"That's it, that's it, evil can't defeat good, and that monster is definitely not our opponent." Chang Hui endured the stinging pain in his legs, and said, "His grandmother's, if I don't give it a little bit of power, it doesn't even know what it is." ”

The medicine gourd understood that they were comforting themselves, he had fallen into the trap of the monster, but in the end he was comforted by a child who was two or three rounds younger than him, if he didn't cheer up, he would have eaten so much food for nothing.

The medicine gourd walked up the road, took out a small black bottle from his arms, opened the cap and poured out a few brown pills, and handed them one by one: "If you eat it, the poison will not spread." ”

Everyone hurriedly picked up the pill and swallowed it, and suddenly felt the burning pain in their throats, but it was quickly replaced by the sweetness of the silk, and their feet and calves were not so itchy.

Chang Hui rolled up his trouser legs to see, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, not only did he not feel itchy, but the color seemed to have faded, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand again: "Senior, give me another grain to eat!" ”

"No way!" The medicine gourd put away the medicine bottle, "This is only a temporary inhibition of the spread of toxins, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and when I go down the mountain, I will dispense the antidote for you." ”

"Oh, senior, just remember to give me the antidote, I can't let the little sister see this leg......" Chang Hui said as he put down his pants, and the medicine gourd heard him talk about Feng Yan, and said movingly, "My old man will take you up the mountain, and he will definitely send you back unscathed." ”

Chang Hui thought that he had said the wrong thing again, and seeing that the medicine gourd was a little excited, he wanted to open his mouth but didn't know what to say. Thinking about it, I was really useless, I didn't help but dragged everyone down, when I fell into the sewage just now, the torches in my hand also fell in, and now there are only four torches left that are about to burn out. Later, if the monster comes, what can you do if you can't see the other party clearly?

"By the way, let's extinguish the three torches first, and leave one to light up." Chang Hui thought of this good proposal, looked up, suddenly felt strange, and muttered, "Extinguish the three torches, there will be no torches, no, aren't we one each, seniors, Prince Sao Bao, Master, the princess and I each have one, this adds up to five sticks, mine fell into the water, and there should be four left......

Chang Hui counted while chattering, counting and counting three torches, and the medicine gourd was stunned for a moment, and said, "I only have three pills left in this medicine bottle, who didn't eat it just now?" ”

Shi Zhong and Tu Qitang were almost confused by them, and they both said, "We ate." ”

Chang Hui hurriedly raised his hand: "I also ate ......"

Before he finished speaking, Chang Hui chuckled in his heart, and stared at Shi Zhong and Tu Qitang with wide eyes: "Princess, princess ......"

Everyone panicked, yes, Liu Ye is gone! Three torches, three pills, Chang Hui lost the torch, the medicine gourd does not need to be detoxified, and the person who was left behind is Liu Ye!

"Princess ......" Shi Zhong didn't notice when Liu Ye was gone, he raised a torch and shone it on the three Yongdao, there was not even a figure in the empty Yongdao, he called Liu Ye in his voice, and his voice became more and more trembling.

Tu Qitang was also in a cold sweat, Liu Ye was by his side a few seconds ago, and he was unconscious, now he feels like falling into an abyss, and all his confidence is gone.

In addition to them, there are monsters in the cave, monsters take women and children as prey, he failed to assimilate women before, and urgently needs women to continue cultivating. It turned out that the target of the monster was Liu Ye, could it be that they were calculated as soon as they entered the cave?

The strong shame turned into anger, and the eyes of the medicine gourd turned red, and he said angrily: "Quick, find the princess in three ways." ”

Shizhong and Tu Qitang each walked all the way, and the medicine gourd took Chang Hui along the middle of the road to the inside, and they quickened their pace, lest they be one step too late Liu Ye's life would not be guaranteed.

The panic on their faces, Liu Ye could see it clearly, because she was right above them. When the medicine gourd poured out the antidote, the moment Shi Zhong and Tu Qitang stepped forward, she was dragged up by a brutal force, and the force came too fast and fierce, and she didn't even have time to exclaim.

When she came back to her senses, she found that she was surrounded by a translucent mucous membrane, like a flying insect trapped in a spider's web, no struggle worked, and her mouth was tightly covered. She kept patting the mucous membrane with strong toughness, and the disgusting smell went straight to her nose, her vision became more and more blurred, and the medicine gourd and the others still didn't notice her.

Liu Ye realized that his struggle would only consume too much oxygen, and before the monster could make a move, he would die of lack of oxygen. Yao Hulu and the others had already walked away and could no longer be seen, she stopped struggling, forced herself to calm down, and thought about her current situation.

After calming down, Liu Ye found that the mucous membrane trapped in her was still moving upward, she felt like a fish caught in a net, the monster was happily collecting the net, and when she reached the shore, she was facing the fate of being slaughtered.

Liu Ye relied on the meager air in the mucous membranes to prolong his life, and in order to avoid seeing the monster's terrifying face, he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead. Sure enough, the monster couldn't wait to enjoy its prey after collecting the net, and was thrown on its back, Liu Ye felt that its backbone was as hard as a knife handle, and he was in pain.

The monster ran fast, several times faster than Uzun's superior horse, and its feet seemed to grow on the ground, and it ran without a sound. Fortunately, it ran fast, and it didn't take long to reach its lair and put Liu Ye down to tear open the mucous membrane. If it was bumpy for a longer time, Liu Ye would have to be suffocated to death.

Liu Ye lay flat on the cold stone slab, her eyes always closed, motionless. Gradually, she became accustomed to her surroundings, and her sense of hearing became much sharper, and she could discern the location of monsters by breathing from distance to distance.
