Volume 1 Out of the Ring Chapter 13 The Bottom of the Nest

The two of them slid down the dark passage for nearly an hour, and there was no end in sight.

Su Lingyu's face was anxious, what she was worried about was not what she would encounter below, but how long Ye Xing could hold on. The face that rested against her chest was pale as paper, bloodless. The faint sound of breathing and the heartbeat became shorter and shorter, almost stopped.

If ordinary people had lost so much blood, they would have died in another hour. Fortunately, Ye Xing's physique is strong, his blood is vigorous, and with Su Lingyu's professional treatment, he can maintain it until now.

Even so, it was difficult for Ye Xing to hold on for too long. Su Lingyu used a secret method to inject her wood attribute star power into Ye Xing's body, temporarily replacing blood to maintain body functions. But there will always be a time when the star power will dissipate, and at that time, Ye Xingzhen will lose blood and die.

Finally, in Su Lingyu's perception, the slope of this passage had decreased significantly, and the speed of their descent gradually slowed down. After a few moments, the slope of the passage was close to level, and the two of them also came to a stop after sliding some distance.

Su Lingyu carried Ye Xing behind his back, held the star staff in his right hand, and walked towards the front of the passage with difficulty. Su Lingyu, who has no spiritual power, is just an ordinary girl, she has no strength, it is quite difficult to carry Ye Xing on her back, and she is even more breathless when she walks. But she insisted on moving forward, step by step.

There was a sudden burst of light in front of him, Su Lingyu raised his eyes and saw that there was a very wide and high exit not far away, and a bright light shone in from outside. Su Lingyu was overjoyed, quickened his pace, and walked towards the exit with Ye Xing on his back.

Walking out of the passage, what appeared in front of Su Lingyu was a huge underground space. The black top is a thousand feet above the ground, and it stretches across the top like a dome. The ground is a dark gray hard rock formation, stretching ahead, so far as the eye can see, that there is no edge in sight. The passage they walked out of was at the bottom of a steep, pale white rock wall, which rose to the highest point and was connected to a black dome thousands of feet above.

This place is thousands of feet deep underground, and it should be dark and lightless, like an abyss. But there is plenty of light in the huge space right now, and I don't know where it comes from, it actually illuminates all the places that are within sight and out of sight.

Su Lingyu felt Ye Xing, who had almost stopped his heartbeat on his back, and he didn't have time to be shocked by the sight in front of him, so he walked forward quickly with Ye Xing on his back.

Where there is light, there is star power, and if you find the source of light, you can find the source of star power. As long as he can recover some star power, Su Lingyu can once again inject star power into Ye Xing's body through the secret method to prolong his life until he finds a cure.

The dark gray rock formations were rugged on the surface, and the mountains and rocks were numerous, Su Lingyu endured the swelling and pain on his feet, stepped on the gravel, and walked forward with difficulty.

After walking for a while, the rock layers of the road gradually thinned, revealing loose and dry sand. Walking along the sandy road, after half a pillar of incense, the sand on the road gradually turned into some moist mud, and the ground was more grassy. Su Lingyu looked forward and saw a sparse wood, faintly hearing the sound of gurgling water. Su Lingyu was overjoyed in his heart and walked in the direction of Shui Sheng.

Step on the soft soil and walk into a verdant forest with lush foliage and flowers, a scene of full business. Deep in the woods, a clear stream flows slowly.

Su Lingyu happily walked to the stream, carefully put down Ye Xing first, and put the star staff beside him. Then he ran briskly to the side of the stream, crouched down, bowed with both hands and drank with a large gulp. The cool and sweet stream soaked Su Lingyu's already chapped lips and fire-baked throat. After drinking a hearty drink, Su Lingyu felt some strength regained. She looked back at Ye Xing who was lying on the ground, bowed another handful of water, carefully held it in her hand, and walked to Ye Xing's side.

She wanted to pour the water she was holding into Ye Xing's mouth, but Ye Xing's lips were closed tightly and she couldn't open her mouth. Su Lingyu glanced at Ye Xing, his face flushed slightly, and he lowered his head and drank the water in his hand into his mouth without swallowing it. Then she gently lifted Ye Xing's back, poked her head down, pointed her lips to Ye Xing's lips, and sucked gently, Ye Xing's closed lips and teeth opened. Su Lingyu poured the sweet stream water in his mouth into Ye Xing's mouth, and then patted his back to help him swallow it.

Su Lingyu bowed again and poured it into Ye Xing's mouth in the same way. After replenishing the water, Su Lingyu continued to pick up Ye Xing and walked forward.

Out of the woods, follow the downhill road and enter a stone forest. The stone forest is full of huge stones several zhang high, arranged in an orderly manner with each other, forming hexagonal columns. The hexagonal space, which resembles a nest house, has one side without boulders, which serves as an entrance and exit.

Su Lingyu cautiously approached one of the hexagonal pillars with Ye Xing on his back, and his eyes were attracted by a blood-red giant egg that was a few feet tall.

The surface of the giant egg glowed blood-red, the same color as the Blood Star Bee, only brighter. From the giant egg came a powerful coercion, which they had not encountered in the Blood Star Bee before. Su Lingyu looked at the blood-red giant egg and thought in surprise: Could it be the queen bee egg?

The ground beneath the giant egg was piled up with many blood-red and pure white crystals, flashing with blood-colored and white light. The two rays of light were constantly being sucked into the egg, and the vitality and coercion in the giant egg were also increasing.

Su Lingyu saw the blood-colored and pure white crystals all over the ground, and his face swelled with surprise. She gently placed Ye Xing on the side of the exit, ran to the giant egg, and picked up two red and white crystals. After perceiving through the perceptual investigation, Su Lingyu excitedly confirmed that the white crystal was the white star stone containing pure star power, and the red crystal contained rich and pure blood qi. Ye Xing is saved!

Su Lingyu picked up a bunch of white blood-colored crystals and ran to Ye Xing's side. She first took a few white star stones and absorbed the star power inside. After recovering some star power, Su Lingyu picked up a few more blood-colored crystals, injected star power into them, and controlled the star power to guide out the blood qi inside. Blood-red rays of light flowed out from the blood-colored crystals, and under Su Lingyu's control, they were injected into Ye Xing's body one after another.

As the red light was injected, Ye Xing's pale face began to have a bloody color. Seeing that it worked, Su Lingyu was overjoyed, and continued to export all the blood qi in the remaining blood-colored crystals and pour them into Ye Xing's body.

Soon, Ye Xing's face became rosy, and the sound of breathing and heartbeat returned to normal. But why haven't you woken up yet? Su Lingyu looked at Ye Xing, who was still with his eyes closed, and felt a little anxious. Under her long-term gaze, Ye Xing's eyelids twitched slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Su Lingyu saw that Ye Xing finally opened her eyes, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face, but her eyelids sank, and her body fell towards Ye Xing. With the exhaustion of star power and physical exhaustion, she walked so far with Ye Xing on her back, her body and spirit were already exhausted, and she was completely supported by faith. Seeing that Ye Xing finally woke up at this moment, she couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as Ye Xing opened his eyes, he saw Su Lingyu lying on top of him with his eyes closed. He hurriedly sat up, helped Su Lingyu up, and shouted nervously, "Senior Sister Lingyu, what's wrong with you?" He carefully checked Su Lingyu's body and found no wounds, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from Su Lingyu's heavy breathing and steady heartbeat, she may have fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

After confirming that Su Lingyu was fine, Ye Xing leaned her against a stone and put his coat under her, then he looked at the environment in front of him, and was immediately attracted by the blood-colored giant egg in front of him.

"So big, is it the queen bee egg?" Feeling the coercion revealed in the egg, Ye Xing judged that this should be the egg of the blood star queen bee, and he suddenly had an urge to smash the giant egg. Some ordinary blood star bees almost killed them, and if this queen bee broke out of her eggs, he and Su Lingyu would not have the power to resist at all.

But he immediately gave up on the idea. With the long knife by his side, he couldn't destroy the giant egg at all. If the giant egg is broken and the queen bee inside is still alive, it will be her own death. Besides, Su Lingyu was still asleep, and he had no combat power alone.

Thinking back to the situation before he fell unconscious, Ye Xing guessed that Su Lingyu should have jumped off the huge passage with him and slid here. How difficult it is for a weak girl whose star power and physical strength are close to overdraft to escape to a safe place with herself and find a way to save herself. No wonder Su Lingyu saw that as soon as she woke up, she fell asleep, she must have been extremely tired.

Ye Xing looked at the sleeping Su Lingyu, the girl's originally white and delicate face was full of dust and exhaustion at the moment. Her breathing was long, slow, and heavy, as if she wanted to exhale all the exhaustion in her body and suck in all the lost strength.

Su Lingyu, who was asleep, suddenly trembled, and shouted a confused dream word in her mouth: "Wake up, don't die! Don't!" Her right hand unconsciously stretched forward, as if she wanted to grab something, but she grabbed it empty, so she grabbed it more anxiously, repeating the dream words, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and her face was extremely sad.

Ye Xing looked at Su Lingyu, who was frightened in his dream, hurriedly squatted down, reached out to hold Su Lingyu's hand, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm not dead, and I won't die." It seemed that hearing Ye Xing's voice, or the feeling of grasping her hand made Su Lingyu feel a little relieved, she quieted down and resumed her steady breathing.

There are still tears in the corners of the girl's eyes, which looks very moving. Ye Xing held Su Lingyu's right hand tightly with one hand, and gently brushed away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the other hand, looking at the extremely weak girl at the moment.

Ye Xing's gaze glanced down, and he suddenly stopped, looking at Su Lingyu's ankles exposed outside his skirt robe. The girl's ankles, which were originally white and tender, were a little blue and purple at the moment, and they were swollen. Looking at the ankle in a daze, a scene appeared in Ye Xing's mind: a weak girl carried a heavy teenager on her back, walking on a rugged and rocky road, the girl's delicate little feet were swollen and painful, but she still gritted her teeth and carried the young man forward with difficulty.

Unconsciously, two lines of tears slipped down Ye Xing's face and dripped onto Su Lingyu's face. Ye Xing poked his head down, gently kissed Su Lingyu's face, and kissed the dripping tears into his mouth.

How lucky it is to have someone to walk with us, to depend on each other in life and death, and never to give up! Even if you walk on the Huangquan Road, you are not afraid, you are not lonely, and you are willing.

Ye Xing gently hugged Su Lingyu into his arms and let her sleep peacefully on his chest. Feeling the warmth, the sleeping girl had a reassuring smile on her face. Ye Xing stared at the girl's sweet face for a long time, wanting to deeply sink this face into his mind.

Su Lingyu dreamed that he was carrying the unconscious Ye Xing on his back, walking on a road that was burning with a sea of fire and flowing with a sea of blood, and it seemed that he would never reach the end. Ye Xing's breathing and heartbeat slowed down little by little under her perception, and finally stopped. Ye Xing, whose life had run out, stayed away from her and flew towards the sea of fire and blood. She cried out in despair, wanting to reach out and grab Ye Xing, but she couldn't.

"Don't!" Su Lingyu woke up from the nightmare, gasped for breath, opened her eyes suddenly, and saw Ye Xing in front of her, who was looking at her with tender pity.

Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was lying in Ye Xing's arms in an ambiguous posture. Confirming that she was not in a dream, she screamed, jumped out of Ye Xing's arms, turned around and glared at Ye Xing in shame.

"Senior Sister Lingyu, are you awake?" Ye Xing looked at Su Lingyu in surprise, completely ignoring her annoyance.

"What did you do to me just now?" Su Lingyu looked at Ye Xing with an unkind expression.

Ye Xing was stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Senior Sister Lingyu, after you woke me up, I was so tired that I fainted and fell asleep. The ground is too cold, I am afraid that you will fall cold, so I will hold you and let you sleep in my arms. ”

Still sleeping with me, am I a child? Su Lingyu felt that Ye Xing's explanation was not reliable at all, she snorted and didn't say anything more. Su Lingyu was about to walk to the boulder and pick up the star scepter that had fallen to the ground, when she felt a sudden sharp pain in her foot, which made her foot twist and her body unbalanced and fell down.

Ye Xing had been paying attention to her condition, and when he saw that she was about to fall, he immediately ran forward to help her.

"You-you let go of me!" was intimately supported by Ye Xing again, and Su Lingyu shouted angrily.

"Senior sister, you have an injury on your foot and can't move, sit down and rest. Ye Xing helped her to a rock, asked her to sit down slowly, and then reached out to take off Su Lingyu's shoes.

"What are you doing!" Su Lingyu was shocked, quickly withdrew his foot, glared at him angrily, and almost couldn't help but kick him.

"Your feet are bruised, I'll rub them for you. Ye Xing explained.

"No!" Su Lingyu refused the pain in her feet, as if she remembered something, she said loudly: "I'm a medical star cultivator, and I still use you to help me treat me?"

"Oh, yes. Ye Xing smiled awkwardly.

This made Su Lingyu even more suspicious that Ye Xing was trying to take advantage of her, and looked at him even more unkindly. But seeing Ye Xing's face suddenly straightened, he looked straight into her eyes, and said seriously: "Thank you, Senior Sister Lingyu." ”

"Thank me for what?" Su Lingyu was stunned.

"Thank you for saving me, even when you ran out of oil yourself, you didn't abandon me. Ye Xing looked at Su Lingyu with a gentle expression and said.

Su Lingyu was panicked by him, subconsciously dodged his gaze, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, you saved me first." ”

Remembering that Ye Xing desperately pushed himself away before, and was attacked by the Blood Star Bee to a state where he was seriously injured and in a critical state, Su Lingyu slightly improved the misunderstanding just now. She looked at Ye Xing and said, "Why did you save me at that time? Without star power, you were stabbed by the mouthparts of the Blood Star Bee, and it is very likely that you will die immediately." If I hadn't interrupted the Blood Star Bee in time, it would have sucked up your blood. ”

"As I said, I'm going to protect you when you're in danger. ”

Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment, remembering what Ye Xing had said to her in the ancient forest of the secret realm.

"I want to become a star cultivator so that I can protect myself, save you when you are in danger, and protect all the people I care about. ”

Su Lingyu's face softened, and he said softly, "Thank you." ”

Ye Xing shook his head, looked at the giant egg, and said with a solemn expression: "We have to get out of here quickly, otherwise the eggs here will hatch out of the queen bee, and we won't be able to escape." ”

Su Lingyu nodded, she put the palms of her hands on her swollen and painful ankles, and the blue light was slowly injected. Slightly, the bruises and pain in her feet gradually eased. She slowly stood up and tried to take two steps, the pain lessening but still a little limp.

Afraid that Su Lingyu would fall again, Ye Xing took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to caress forward.

Su Lingyu looked at him, shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm fine, I can go by myself." She pointed to the bottom of the egg, "Go pick up some of those white and red hedrons to prepare for the rest of your journey." ”

Seeing that she was fine, Ye Xing nodded and walked towards the giant egg. Su Lingyu went to pick up the star scepter on the ground.

Walking under the giant egg and feeling the vigorous vitality and powerful sense of coercion coming from inside, Ye Xing couldn't help but feel some palpitations. He looked down at the giant egg, which was filled with white and red oblate hedrons, and the white hedrons had a pure star power aura in them. The red spar is a bit like a solid coagulated by blood, but it is very pure, and there is no smell of blood, like a ruby.

Ye Xing probably guessed that Su Lingyu had recovered his star power through the white spar, and then used the red spar to save himself. He picked up more than ten of the two spars each, stuffed them in the pockets and seams of his body, and he really couldn't fit them, so he walked towards Su Lingyu.

Su Lingyu looked at Ye Xing's whole body bulging, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and he laughed like a silver bell: "You look like you have been stung by a blood star bee and your whole body is swollen." ”

Ye Xing disagreed: "If I am stung by the blood star bee, it will not be swollen, then my whole body will be concave a little bit." ”

Su Lingyu imagined that appearance for a moment, and shuddered, "I don't want to be sucked by the blood star bee and die, it's ugly to death." ”

Ye Xing pretended to think, then nodded and said, "Well, you didn't die of blood loss, you died ugly." ”

Su Lingyu raised the star staff as a striking gesture, and snorted: "Looking for a fight, right?"

Ye Xing begged for mercy: "Let's go, otherwise when the queen bee eggs here hatch, we will really die here ugly." ”

The two then left the stone forest where the queen bee eggs were placed and walked forward.

"Huh, why do you have tears on your face? Have you ever cried?"

"I didn't!"

"Don't hide it, it's okay for a boy to cry once in a while. ”

"You're crying! It's when you're asleep that you've been crying and screaming for me not to die, and you're crying so hard that I can't wipe your tears for you. ”

"Shut up! You lie! I didn't cry! I still cry, don't you die? I don't want to be amorous! Even if you die, I won't cry, let alone shed a tear!"

"I'm telling the truth, okay, you cried and clung to my hand, I had to hold you in my arms and comfort you, and you quieted down. Why else would I hug you for no reason?"

"Bastard! Dead Ye Xing! Obviously you want to take advantage of me and secretly hug me while I'm asleep!

"Does it count as a kiss?"

"I'm not supposed to save you, let you be sucked dry by the blood star bee and die, and your death will be extremely ugly, and you will not be able to be reborn in the next life!"

"Hey, light! Don't get excited! We're all wounded, don't lose both!"

"Hmph, just you, Miss Ben knocked you down with one hand?"

"There's a kind of don't use star power!"

"Why not? You can use it too. Oh, you didn't, then I'm sorry. ”

"You, evil girl, I thought you were a beautiful, kind, gentle, lovely, naturally beautiful girl, a goddess who fell into the world, I was wrong!"

"For the sake of your good vision, Miss Ben will forgive you for the time being. ”

"Phewβ€”escaped. ”

"Time is out, hee-hee. ”

"You β€”β€”!"
