Chapter 47: You can hold on any longer
"Little brother, why don't you leave?"
I didn't answer, I stretched the glowing ore in my hand forward, and looked at the three forks in the road in front of me. The passage was pitch black, and I didn't know where they all led, and I couldn't make a choice for a while.
"Mu Yu, which way do you think you want to go?" I looked back and asked.
Hearing this, Mu Yu was stunned, maybe he didn't expect me to ask him, but then he said: "If there are really plants underground, then there must be a water source, listen to the sound of water."
"Two little brothers, why don't we go through a hole separately, and if we find a hole that is feasible, we will retreat here and inform the others, what do you think?"
The leader pondered for a moment, then slapped his head and spoke.
"That might work, Elvis, what do you think?"
I glanced at the leader, his eyes softened and not as frightened as before.
"Good!"
"Hey, little brother, I have the glowing ore, you can just give it to this little brother, sixth"
I didn't say anything, I split the ore in my hand into two, handed it to Mu Yu, and then took the lead in entering the hole in the middle.
"Be careful!"
Mu Yu looked at my back and instructed.
I didn't answer, I didn't look back, I just walked briskly deeper into the cave. The glowing ore in his hand is like a firefly in the dark night, floating forward in the dark ocean.
I leaned against the cave wall and took a few deep breaths, perhaps because I was underground, or maybe because I had lost so much blood that I felt dizzy and suffocated.
"Smack~Slap"
I slapped myself a few times, the burning pain briefly sobering me up. I struggled to steady my crumbling body and walked forward on my weak legs.
The cave stretched deeper into the ground, and as it progressed, the walls became more and more damp.
"Perhaps, this is the right path!"
The road ahead suddenly became vertical, and the sound of water could be faintly heard in the empty passageway.
If you guess correctly, the end of this cave should be a real natural cave.
I pulled out the crimson sword behind my back, clenched it in my hand, and slid straight down the passage.
"Bang~Bang"
The moment I hit the ground, I hurriedly took advantage of the momentum to roll, and then stopped.
I got up and looked around, and the whole cave was clear, and there were many colorful glowing crystals on the cliffs, and the strange rocks around me were craggy, and the stones grew colorful, strange-shaped, fungal-like things, and glowed faintly.
I looked up and there was a huge boulder jutting out from the top of the cave, and the water dripped down the boulder into the pool below. The pool is surrounded by several turquoise boulders stacked on top of each other, and the height is undulating.
I leaned forward to look at the pool, where the water was pale blue and seemed to have creatures swimming in it.
"Isn't it here?"
I hesitated, as I looked around and found no signs of ivy growing in the cave.
I straightened up and looked back at the hole I had slipped into, on a cliff three feet above the ground.
"What's that?"
Just as I was about to leap back into the cave, I saw a dark shadow pass in front of me.
I held the crimson sword in my hand, staring at the front vigilantly, only to feel a chill on my back, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart.
"Ahh
I hurriedly gathered my strength, and swung the crimson sword in my hand violently, and in an instant, a strong force rushed away. With a "boom", the stone pillar became shattered, "clanged", and fell to the ground fiercely.
"Am I mistaken?"
Just as I hesitated, I saw a pair of red eyes suddenly appear on the black stone pillar that fell to the ground, hissing with a "chirping", baring sharp teeth, and suddenly an afterimage rushed towards me.
I hurriedly rolled sideways, and the red sword in my hand went back to the black shadow at the same time, "Bell~", the sword body and the black shadow collided suddenly, making a dull impact sound.
Before I could catch my breath, the black shadow stretched its wings, bared its tough claws, and swooped down on me again.
I glanced at the remaining blood on the blade and concluded that it didn't have hard skin.
In the face of the black shadow rushing at great speed, I did not dodge, and the moment the claws caught me, I only heard a "click", and the blade of the sword had been inserted into its abdomen.
The black shadow was in pain, screaming miserably, and hurriedly waved its wings to the top of the cave, but then with a "clang", its huge body fell to the ground fiercely.
I wiped the blood from the sword, and then looked at the black shadow, only to see that a huge hole had been cut in its abdomen, and blood was bubbling out.
The black shadow was terrified by my approaching body, and with a wail of "chirp" in his mouth, he flapped his wings with great difficulty, but his weak strength could not support it to fly again.
"I didn't mean to hurt you, don't blame me!"
I raised the crimson sword, and just as I was about to end its life, the thing suddenly struggled to fly, and with a "poof", it fell straight into the pool.
When I came to the pool, I saw the pale blue water mixed with red blood, but I couldn't see the thing.
"Forget it, let it go!"
When I put away the crimson sword and was about to turn around, I saw bubbles bubbling in the pool, and then puffs of white smoke slowly rose.
"What is this?"
The pale blue pool gradually became boiling, like adding water to lime, emitting a pungent smell, as a huge figure gradually came into view.
"Not good!"
I screamed and hurried into the distance, then stared at the pool with my sword.
With a "bang", a huge figure immediately rushed out of the water.
I stared at the figure, and saw that it was all black, resembling a bat, with long, toothy jaws, red eyes, a wingspan of three meters, and a slender tail.
The thing flailed its wings and hissed at me, and suddenly a powerful air currents came straight at me.
Seeing this, I hurriedly dodged to the side, and with a "boom", after the smoke and dust, a huge pit remained in the ground.
"The one just now?"
I was in a half-kneeling position, one hand on the ground, panting heavily, looking up at the figure, beads of sweat on my forehead.
"Tsk~Tsk"
The thing let out a long roar, and then the figure struck at great speed.
Before I could react, I heard a "bang", and a sharp pain instantly rushed into my mind.
When I looked down, my left arm had been torn off by the claws, and the blood was flowing and hanging straight from my body.
"Left arm, useless!"
The pain was so sharp that I almost fainted, but I couldn't grit my teeth and force my body to steady, sword in my hand glaring at the dark figure in the air.
Because I know very well that once I fall down at this time, then there is no possibility of waking up.
Can the weak body hold on any longer?
With a hiss, and in an instant, the thing swung its wings again...
