Chapter Twenty-Four: The Long Beard

Under the barren cliffs, the temperature is a little scary, and even the stones on the surrounding cliffs have been baked red by the high temperature for many years. Chen Yu thought to himself, knocking an egg on any stone here, I am afraid that it will be cooked in an instant.

The blazing temperature seemed to distort the air in front of him, Chen Yu supported Zhao Lin'er, and the two continued to walk along the depths of the Red Fire Cliff.

The higher and higher temperature made Zhao Lin'er's physique in the realm of training strength begin to be exhausted, that is, Chen Yu's body that has been insisting on exercising for a long time can last.

Chen Yu didn't expect the temperature in the depths of the Red Fire Cliff to be unexpectedly high, but if he wanted to turn back now, he was unwilling to give up halfway. Even if it is to cure his mother's illness, he must persevere.

It's just that in this way, Chen Yu feels that he has implicated Zhao Lin'er. Looking at Zhao Lin'er, who was sweating profusely and even her hair was soaked, Chen Yu's heart was full of indebtedness to her.

"Lin'er, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have let you come with me, I'm going to get you involved. Chen Yu said to Zhao Lin'er with a sense of gratitude.

Zhao Lin'er was a little in a trance at this time, she turned her head to look at Chen Yu with difficulty, and said intermittently: "Chen ...... Chen Yu, we ...... We'll ...... Dead here? ”

Her eyes couldn't see clearly at this time, and even her vision became blurry, including Chen Yu's face.

"No, it won't! Lin'er, don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do! Chen Yu comforted Zhao Lin'er in a firm tone.

However, Chen Yu's body had begun to stand unsteadily at this time, so he had to take off the black bronze weight behind him and use it as a crutch, so that he could barely help Zhao Lin'er to continue walking.

With the passage of time, the physical strength of the two of them is now almost at the limit, and Chen Yu still needs to rely on crutches to barely walk, not to mention Zhao Lin'er's state at this time, she is now carried by Chen Yu.

Her originally smooth and shiny lips were cracked at this time, and her eyes were tightly closed, if it weren't for Chen Yu being able to sense Zhao Lin'er's heartbeat from his back, he might have suspected that Zhao Lin'er had already left him.

"Lin'er, are you okay? Lin'er, what's wrong with you? Lin'er, you have to hold on! ”

Chen Yu shook Zhao Lin'er on her back with great difficulty, and asked her one after another anxiously, but Zhao Lin'er didn't react at all, and Chen Yu's heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden.

He suddenly hated himself, why did he hate himself for taking Zhao Lin'er to go deep into the Red Fire Cliff with his own will, causing Zhao Lin'er to die now. Now even if Chen Yu wants to go back the same way, it is too late, and his current physical strength can't support him to carry Zhao Lin'er out of the Red Fire Cliff on his back.

If Zhao Lin'er really died, then Chen Yu would not be able to forgive himself at all, and he would probably hate himself for the rest of his life!

In order to awaken Zhao Lin'er's consciousness, Chen Yu refused to give up easily, he kept shaking her, hoping to shake her awake.

But now, even Chen Yu himself is physically exhausted, and the amplitude of his shaking naturally slowly decreases, and he is no longer able to continue shaking in the back, Chen Yu suddenly became like a dead heart, are he and Zhao Lin'er really going to die here?

Chen ...... Chen Yu, you ...... You ...... me Throw it here and ...... yourself Get out of the way yourself! ”

Zhao Lin'er finally reacted at this time, as if she had used the last strength of her body to open her mouth with difficulty. She asked Chen Yu to leave her burden behind, and then escape from this place alone.

Chen Yu felt that Zhao Lin'er had a reaction, and he was overjoyed at first, but when he listened to what Zhao Lin'er said, his face sank suddenly, and his heart became like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

He struggled to reach out and hold Zhao Lin'er's hand on his shoulder, and said with a hint of relief: "Lin'er, I won't leave you, even if we die, we will die together!"

Chen Yu's vision began to blur at this time, and his body carrying Zhao Lin'er on his back also began to sway, as if he would immediately fall to the ground in the next second.

Just as Chen Yu was dying, his already blurred eyes saw a large stone on the cliff wall in front of him on his left suddenly move, revealing a hole that was covered by a large stone.

Immediately afterward, Chen Yu vaguely saw a person poking out of the hole waving towards him, and at the same time heard the other party shouting: "Eh! Gua baby over there, hurry up and come here! ”

Seeing this, Chen Yu's whole person was shocked, and he forcibly raised the last trace of true qi to show the wind-chasing body method. With the whirlwind that arose out of thin air on the soles of his feet, Chen Yu strode towards the entrance of the cave. In the end, he jumped with Zhao Lin'er on his back, and finally took Zhao Lin'er into the cave when his strength was about to run out.

He grabbed the hand of the man hiding in the cave, and only had time to say "Please save Lin'er!" After that, Chen Yu fainted.

After a long time, Chen Yu woke up slowly, he slowly opened his eyes with difficulty, and what caught his eye was Zhao Lin'er's haggard face with red eyes.

Then, Zhao Lin'er pounced on Chen Yu's body and shouted in surprise: "Ah! Chen Yu, you finally woke up! ”

"Whew! Lin'er, you're so heavy! I'm so thirsty! Chen Yu opened his chapped lips and joked with Zhao Lin'er.

Zhao Lin'er lightly punched Chen Yu in the chest, causing the weak Chen Yu to cough, and she said coquettishly: "I hate it, where is the weight of the people!"

Then she hurriedly raised her body and gently helped Chen Yu up, and at the same time, Zhao Lin'er's left hand also took a bamboo tube filled with water from the side.

She brought the mouth of the bamboo tube to Chen Yu's mouth and fed him a few sips of water, and only then did Chen Yu have the strength to check the surrounding environment.

It is a cave excavated by hand, and it is not difficult to see from the irregular chisel marks on the wall of the cave. The cave is not very large, but it is dug very deep, and the entrance is covered by a large rock, so the temperature inside the cave is much cooler than outside.

An oil lamp is placed on the floor of the cave to illuminate the cave. And in a corner of the cave, there was a figure sitting on the ground with his back to Chen Yu, as if he was tinkering with something.

Chen Yu knew that this person should be his life-saving benefactor, so he hurriedly stood up, bowed to the man and said, "Senior Chen Yu, thank you seniors for coming to the rescue!"

The man sitting in the corner heard what Chen Yu said, and slowly turned around, one of his two hands was holding a dagger, and the other hand was holding a corpse of a red snake that was still bleeding out.

He scolded Chen Yu and Zhao Lin'er with a big grin: "You two melon babies are really reckless, you dare to run into this life-threatening red fire cliff without doing anything, it's really a long life for the birthday boy to hang himself!"

Chen Yu carefully observed this person, and found that this was a big man with a beard that was about to reach his chest, his hair was messy like a bird's nest on the tree, he was wearing a tattered clothes, and the whole person looked dirty, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't taken a bath.

After the bearded man finished speaking, he directly bit the wound of the Red Snake, and sucked the blood in the Red Snake's body in a big gulp. Chen Yu and Zhao Lin'er were stunned on the side, and when they came back to their senses, the two quickly shifted their gaze to other places.

"The lesson of the seniors is that this time the juniors really don't think about it. But your tastes are a bit peculiar! Chen Yu said respectfully to the long beard.

The long beard sucked the blood from the body of the Red Snake in his hand, and threw its corpse to the ground, where there were already rows and rows of Red Snake corpses. It seems that he has already sucked a lot of the blood of the Red Lian Snake long ago.

He wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with a happy face, waved his hand indifferently, and said to Chen Yu and the two: "You don't have to thank me, if I didn't just go out and touch you two melon babies, I wouldn't have bothered to save you."

Chen Yu and the others knew that this bearded man had a somewhat strange temperament, so they still made a thank-you gift and thanked the bearded man for saving his life.

"Senior, did you dig this cave to facilitate your cultivation here?"

Chen Yu didn't understand that the Red Fire Cliff was so weird, and there were still people who would dig a cave here at any cost, and he estimated that the bearded man should be planning to retreat and cultivate here.

Unexpectedly, the long beard waved his hand, denying Chen Yu's idea, he dug his nostrils and said: "This cave was indeed dug by me, but I didn't come here to cultivate, I was just a medicine dealer, who came to this place to kill those snakes and beasts outside."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the corpse of a Chilian snake whose head he had cut off from the ground, and wanted to hand it to Chen Yu: "Come, take it!" Give you two melons and babies to taste, the blood of this snake beast can be replenished! ”

Chen Yu and the others hurriedly resigned the kindness of the long beard, and their heads shook like rattles, full of resistance to the kindness of the long beard.

"Thank you seniors for your kindness, the two of us are not hungry yet, I'm afraid we won't be blessed with this delicious food." Chen Yu endured the numbness in his scalp and politely refused to grow a beard.

"Then you two melon babies can take care of yourself, my stomach is not full yet!" After the long beard finished speaking, he bit the wound of the red snake again, greedily sucking the blood in its body, and didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Yu and the two of them.

Chen Yu also turned to look Zhao Lin'er up and down at this time, and found that she was not injured, so he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Ah, it hurts!"

Chen Yu exhaled in pain, and only then did he feel a dull pain in the elbows of his hands and the knees of both feet, and he looked down to find that both of his knees were bruised.

Zhao Lin'er hurriedly helped Chen Yu to sit in the corner on the other side, and said softly: "You! He only cared about protecting me, and he didn't care about himself at all. I've cleaned all your wounds, so let's get some rest! ”

Chen Yu held Zhao Lin'er's hand and laughed, and said disapprovingly about the injuries on his body: "Lin'er, you're okay!" This little injury of mine is not a problem at all! ”

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and feet to Zhao Lin'er, but he didn't expect to bare his teeth in pain. Zhao Lin'er also covered her mouth and laughed when she saw him like this, and both of them had a relaxed feeling in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

Zhao Lin'er patted Chen Yu lightly and reprimanded him, "If you don't stop a little, the wound will crack open again in a while!"
