Chapter 10: Death
"Hey." Han Chuyi grabbed a person in one hand and stood firmly on the other side.
Zhao Hui patted the dust on his body and looked around: "How is this still a dead end...... Zhao Hui squinted his eyes and felt a glimmer of light, "No, there seems to be a trail here." ”
The two of them followed Zhao Hui's gaze, and sure enough, they saw a thin and narrow path between the surrounding boulders. It's too small to look like a road, but more like a naturally formed crack. If it weren't for the fact that the three of them were relatively slender, they would definitely not be able to get through. However, there are not a few fat people in this generation.
Han Chuyi frowned imperceptibly, he didn't know such a path. What's more, judging by the light, it must be the way to the outside.
"You can't retreat anymore," Yin Su's hands were staggered and rubbed his ten knuckles, looking a little restrained, "Let's go." ”
Han Chuyi opened his mouth to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to stop the other party, but he finally spoke: "Hmm." ”
The first to bear the brunt was Yin Su, she first stood between the gaps and gestured with her chest, and then directly took a deep breath and squeezed into the path. "Huh!" Sure enough, such a narrow gap was still too small for Yin Su's pair of snow-white steamed buns, and her left foot and left arm were effortlessly stuck in, leaving only half of her body but unable to advance or retreat.
"! So perverted? Zhao Hui was dumbfounded by the pair of fat pieces that were stuck in the cracks of the stone and wriggled back and forth, and he didn't know how to move for a while.
A figure blocked Zhao Hui's view. Han Chuyi stood in front of him, stretched out his hands directly, and pushed Yin Su like a quilt cover. Yin Su stretched out his left arm with all his might, waving wildly to measure the length of the trail: "It's still a little close...!" Her palm grabbed the stone wall outside, it turned out that this was not a trail at all, but just a "photo wall" that could be crossed in one step.
"Poof!" Under the push of the strange force Han Chuyi, Yin Su finally squeezed through this wall. What greeted her was a beautiful landscape that made her doubt herself. It's not the "outside" as they imagined, but a small forest protected by towering stone walls like a paradise. The only entrance and exit seems to be this small slit. The ground of this place is like a fairyland, untouched by any influence of this barren world: tender green grass grows in every land here; A lot of small flowers that are not bright but simple are quietly blooming; Scattered trees draw this new shoot; In the center is a crystal clear turquoise lake that shimmers golden in a cloudless blue sky.
What's more, there is an overwhelming crop here.
Zhao Hui and Han Chuyi also came out at this time, and several people were so shocked by this scene that they stammered and couldn't speak. In this wilderness where the four seasons are indistinguishable, how long has it been since you felt the breath of spring? It even makes people wonder if this is the only favor shed by the gods in the world.
Zhao Hui and Yin Su rushed towards the lake like crazy demons, and the two of them raised their hands above their heads and cheered. Han Chuyi, who had always had a unified expression, was also stunned at this time, and walked unhurriedly behind the two while looking around.
Yin Su casually picked an apple and took a bite, she walked into the lake, only to see a tall pile of grass piled up in the middle of the lake, as if it was clogged with something. Such a large piece of stuff must be three people tall, and it just stands in the middle of the lake, blending in with everything around it.
"Don't get close to it yet", Han Chuyi sped up his speed and ran to the lake in three steps and two steps. He was confused with his plans for a moment, and he didn't know what the small hill in front of him, which looked like the shell of a giant green-haired turtle, was.
Yin Su and Zhao Hui didn't bother to care about such a big thing that they couldn't eat, and the two of them just glanced at it twice and ran away to have a full meal. Han Chuyi was not so relieved. He still stood there, staring at the signs of the green grass, and even the wind and grass could make him prepare for battle.
"Don't look at it! Aren't you hungry, boy? It's really awesome to see that so much food can be put there to see the scenery. Zhao Hui's mouth was stuffed with pulp, and he squirted out some residue indistinctly. The juice flowed from the corners of his mouth, and it was a little disgusting to look at.
I don't know how long it was, until the sun gradually set, and it wasn't until Yin Su and the two of them could no longer stuff any food in their shrinking stomach pouches that the two stopped eating. Instead, everything that could be stuffed was stuffed into the cloth bag that he had brought. Although both of them were a little sluggish at this time, and they didn't think about what would rot quickly, the most primitive human instincts drove them to work without thinking about anything.
Han Chuyi almost let down his guard at this time, leisurely packed up the food, and gave himself a few bites from time to time.
Everything seemed so peaceful, as if the famine that had lasted for eight years had never happened, and the world was still alive.
However, without warning, the sky had unconsciously accumulated a thick layer of dark clouds. The wind was blowing, and the thunder and lightning were shining.
A drop of liquid dripped onto the tip of Yin Su's nose.
It's raining.
Han Chuyi frowned again, and he stepped on the nearest fruit tree to look at the sky.
The ground began to shake, and the walls of the lake were like a bowl that could not hold so much water, spilling most of the water out of the lake. The green in the center is even taller.
"How... What's wrong?! Yin Su wrapped her limbs into a ball and used her body to protect the food in the bag. Han Chuyi snorted lightly and flew down from the tree to protect the girl who was huddled in a ball. The eyes never left the movement of the aquatic plants.
Zhao Hui hugged a big tree next to him, wrapped the food in his coat, and kept cursing in his mouth.
I saw that the aquatic weed seemed to have been washed down, and after a few vibrations, it began to rotate, and then sank rapidly. Finally disappeared at the bottom of the lake. Han Chuyi furrowed a pair of thick eyebrows, from the crystal clear water, it was clearly clear that it was a shallow lake with a water level no more than his ankles, how could he swallow such a big bunch of things? Because he wanted to protect Yin Su behind him, he did not go to observe, but waited for the next move.
Immediately afterwards, the lake also disappeared in a spiral along the center. In layman's terms, the whole lake is like a large flush toilet, and the blockage that has been stuck in the pipe for a long time is finally flushed down, and the water is also gone. However, the shaking of the ground did not go away at this moment.
All three of them crawled to the ground, and the wind only blew harder.
An ethereal roar seemed to come from the depths of the earth, and a pale blue dragon flew out of the middle of the lake. It can be seen clearly even from a distance. Its dragon whiskers flutter like a mane in the direction of the wind. It remained in the air for a few seconds, as if looking at the scenery, surveying all the creatures on the ground.
Han Chuyi had already clenched his spear, and cold sweat was running down his sideburns. He didn't have the slightest confidence that he could defeat the beast, but he struggled to lower his body, keeping Yin Su's trembling petite body behind his strong body. They have experienced so many strange things together, and I believe that this time they will be able to ......
The blue dragon found Han Chuyi at a glance, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, his eyes seemed to narrow slightly, and even read a trace of residual thoughts from it. Its body, which was at least forty meters long, swooped down from a high altitude and reached the ground.
Such a creature suddenly rushed towards you with a straight face, even Han Chuyi's legs couldn't help but weaken. He subconsciously closed his eyes and forgot to wave the spear in his hand.
The next second, he heard screams.
It wasn't a girl's familiar voice.
The blood that shot out of it hit his hair.
Han Chuyi's eyes widened in surprise and turned his head.
Yin Su was still behind him, and the 16-year-old girl raised her head, her pupils full of fear, anger, sadness, and despair that consumed all hope. She didn't even have time to cry.
Zhao Hui's body was bitten by the dragon and flew into the towering sky. A transparent sphere like a glass bead floated out of Zhao Hui's body, and was bitten by the blue dragon, and each piece of scattered fragments reflected the last death of the middle-aged man in the combination of thunder and lightning.
He was already dead, and in less than a second, the person who was still talking and laughing was no longer breathing. His eyes were no longer focused, and he did not leave the so-called final words. In an instant, this life was gone forever.
The blue dragon broke through the clouds and quickly disappeared into the sky. Instead, it was a sunny day, but it was late in the evening, and only the afterglow of the setting sun was blocked out of the stone walls. It was as if it was a moment of silence for the man who had died.
"Ahh Ahhhh Yin Su felt that his breathing had stagnated for a few seconds, and several indescribable roars came out of his throat. When the blue dragon was still in sight, she didn't even dare to make a sound, and only now that the blue dragon and Zhao Hui's corpse disappeared, she dared to cry out loud. She cried for the eldest brother she had known for a short time, and she also cried for her own cowardice. The whole "paradise" seemed to have suddenly become the source of a nightmare, and a few meters in front of her was the grass where Zhao Hui was standing not long ago. By this time, the little blood stains on the green grass had merged with the traces of the rain. A few plump fruits gurgled from the package and rolled on the ground.
A large hand stroked her rain-soaked hair. Yin Su's hands were already shivering from the cold, and her blank eyes looked at each other, and it took a while to recognize Han Chuyi from the blur and dizziness. She couldn't digest what she had just experienced, so she just tightened his cuffs and trembled without saying a word, leaning against the other's feet.
Han Chuyi pursed his lips, he didn't cry in the end, but his eyes were slightly red. Everything he thought was wrong. Destiny is indistributable, and it was like that from the beginning. He shouldn't have thought that he had escaped his fate because Zhao Hui had escaped Kui Niu's death. He was wrong, completely wrong. He still can't protect anyone. Han Chuyi half-knelt down, pressed his cheek to the top of Yin Su's cold head, stroked her long hair one by one, and hugged her shoulders tightly.
Sure enough, he shouldn't have had the luxury of expecting from the beginning, as long as Yin Su can survive.
