Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dungeon
At this moment, Xiao Qianye looked at the bonfire burning in the room in front of him, and felt that his vision began to become blurred, and the medicinal power of the three bottles of medicine gradually took effect, not only making his entire body lose its strength, but even the most important five senses were losing little by little.
He didn't know where he was now, they had been walking aimlessly with the old man on the endless snowfield, when suddenly the snow under his feet became relaxed, and then several people slipped into it, which seemed to be a long-abandoned town, with huge pillars erected at the corners and center, and then completely covered with bronze roofs above, forming an eerie dungeon.
There was no light in the city, and it could only be lit by torches lit everywhere, and there were still many guards scattered around, Xiao Qianye secretly pondered, this is probably also a certain stronghold in the shadows, right? They can dig such an amazing dungeon under the snowfield!
Perhaps overconfident in the medicine provided by the Water Prison of the Bound King, Lao Su and the Palace Master of An Yu just locked them in one of the rooms and disappeared.
Xiao Qianye opened his fingers and clenched it hardβit was true that he couldn't use any strength at all, although it was not as fast as the cartilage poison before, but this poison would erode his five senses, making his sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch all begin to gradually deteriorate.
"Come, drink some water. When he was nervous and worried, Yun Xiao brought him a glass of water, "The other party specially sent water and food, because they don't want us to die here." β
"Well, they said, 'capture alive'. Xiao Qianye answered, stretched out her hand to take the water cup in her hand, but the five fingers lost touch and strength, and the glass of water fell directly from his hand, and it shattered with a "snap".
Can't even hold a water glass...... Xiao Qianye lowered his eyes, his heart trembled, his weakness is undoubtedly very obvious, except for superb swordsmanship, he doesn't know anything about magic, pathological medicine and poisons, these are not what he is good at, but the Kunlun faction of the master actually has a very detailed explanation and teaching on this, it was he who was in a hurry and took the initiative to give up, now that he thinks about it, if he was more serious back then, he could calm down more, maybe he wouldn't have ended up like today, right?
He smiled helplessly, and said that he couldn't live if he did his own evil, and he really experienced this sentence today.
"Come, I'll feed you. Yun Xiao poured him another glass of water and took the initiative to bring it to his mouth, still smiling calmly and fearlessly.
"You're so optimistic. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to take a few large sips of water, but he couldn't feel the water flowing into his throat at all.
"Well, I've always thought about it. Yun Xiao put down the water glass, sat down next to him, suddenly held his hand with both hands, quietly removed the Sun Wheel Divine Ring and put it on his finger, and whispered, "Isn't this better?"
In an instant, there was a feeling of warmth from his fingers, like a warm beam of sunlight shining into his heart, Xiao Qianye frowned, but Yun Xiao had already run away to the other side, blinking and said: "Those medicines don't work very well for me, I recover quickly." β
"Can you see it with your eyes?" He realized that the other party's eyes were already shining, and asked nervously, Yun Xiao nodded, made a boo gesture, and pointed to the outside of the room, "Brother Huo said, if snow blindness gets better quickly, it will only take about a day or so to recover, so if you calculate it, we will probably have been trapped for a day, right?
Xiao Qianye touched the wound in his abdomen that was pierced by Huo Cang's knife, the wound had already stopped bleeding, and he even tied a bandage on him intimately, he shook his head with a wry smile: "I have to thank them, they really want to bring me back alive." β
"Well, now it's time for us to take the initiative. Yun Xiao nodded, not knowing what she was planning, Xiao Qianye wanted to call her back, but her body was uncontrollable and she couldn't stand, so she had to raise her hand and said, "Come here, don't use your brain, you alone are not an opponent in the shadows, not to mention that the poison on your body is just not obvious, it's not useless, right? You can fool them, but you can't fool me, you come and sit down, and have a good rest first." β
"Hey, do you see that?" Yun Xiao looked at him in surprise and muttered, "I think I acted like it......! You're so heavy that I almost show my stuff. β
"It's that you're too thin. Xiao Qianye retorted, her face sank, "You have been seriously ill since you left North Shore City, haven't you found a mirror to look at your current appearance? β
"Are you disgusted?" Yun Xiao touched her face, she did feel a lot thinner, she leaned into his face, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Qianye's face that was gradually losing her five senses instantly flushed, and she couldn't help but smile happily, "I don't care, anyway, I will pester you no matter what I become, and I won't let you go if I am a ghost." β
"Tsk...... You!" Startled by her sudden words, Xiao Qianye decisively looked away, "Don't crow's mouth." β
"What, are you afraid of ghosts?" Yun Xiao teased him funny, and when she saw him turn his face away, he didn't say a word.
"I have to find a way to get you back, otherwise I won't be able to carry you as a heavy man. Yun Xiao chattered, a person gathered to the door to look outside, only a few people could be seen outside, Lao Suo and An Yu were nowhere to be found, such a seemingly careless omission of defense made her dare not act rashly, she could only retreat back, Xiao Qianye said calmly, "The poison used to test the medicine in the King Binding Water Prison, most of the antidote is also in the King Binding Water Prison, and there may not even be an antidote at all, they will not be stupid enough to take the antidote and wait for you to steal it and grab it." β
"Binding the King Water Prison?" Yun Xiao's eyes were shocked, "Is it the place where Senior Brother's younger brother was treated as a test subject?" 135 Chinese
"Hmm. Xiao Qianye sighed silently, I don't know how to feel, the laboratory of the King Water Prison is actually not a secret for a long time, but most people who don't know the truth think that it is just a place to refine medicine for the royal family, they use all kinds of prisoners and aliens as experiments, and have tried thousands of unknown poisons on them, but who would have expected that these poisons that seem very far away will also take effect on themselves one day?
"No wonder it's so powerful. Yun Xiao stared at her palm, frost and snow dripping in her palm, even so she couldn't completely dissolve those poisons.
"It's ...... That phoenix?" Xiao Qianye's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but lower his voice, "It's really in your body?"
"Shhhhh β
"Big brother......" Xiao Qianye obviously knew who she was talking about, her expression was complicated, but Yun Xiao kicked the ground lightly and frowned, "It seems to be empty underneath, I tried to probe it with spiritual power, but it was too deep to reach the end, and their people were all guarding outside and couldn't enter, I was worried that there were still unknown things under the house." β
Xiao Qianye didn't dare to act rashly, with his body now losing his five senses, he could only sit and wait for death.
"Damn!" he then scolded unwillingly, and the sun wheel on his finger was affected by the fluctuation of emotion, and it swayed a strange warm force, which penetrated into the skin little by little.
At this moment, the guards outside pushed open the door, but they didn't dare to step into the house because of the taboo, they just pointed at Yun Xiao and shouted, "You come out, the palace will see you." β
"Ah Xiao!" Xiao Qianye grabbed Yun Xiao, and suddenly came out of nowhere, the guards were startled by his vigorous movements, exchanged glances, and then sighed, "The military pavilion master can't protect himself, don't think about heroes saving beauty, be honest, and suffer less." β
"Don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go. Yun Xiao held him down silently, and walked out with the guard, when she came, because of snow blindness, she didn't see what the surrounding environment was, but now after coming out, Yun Xiao felt that the uneasiness in her heart began to become restless - this village is very large, not so much like a village, but more like the scale of a small city, although the remaining buildings are already very dilapidated, but can still barely recognize that there are restaurants, inns and even gambling houses, and there are stalls on both sides of the road.
It's just that these buildings are carved with a strange totem, like a snake.
She couldn't help but guess that this should be some alien tribe that had long been abandoned, right?
"Hurry up!" the guards behind her urged impatiently with long knives, and they were walking in the direction of the east of the city, where there was an open-air square, and the palace master of An Yu was already waiting.
Looking at the abandoned restaurant next to the square, Lao Suo was holding a shadow puppet box, and was squinting and drinking a glass of wine on the second floor.
"This is ......" Yun Xiao couldn't help but raise her vigilance, and even involuntarily touched the wind god between her sleeves, and a stage was set up in this open space, and the guards sat next to them as if they had lost their souls, looking at the middle of the stage with empty eyes.
"This is a play that the eldest princess specially ordered for Miss Yun. An Yu smiled maliciously, raised her little hand high and led Yun Xiao to walk forward, "Originally, this play was going to be shown to you by the eldest princess herself after you were brought back to Tianyu City, but yes, when you go back, most of them will be locked up in the water prison of the king of binding, where it is dark and narrow, there is no such spacious stage, and there is no audience, the eldest princess thinks it will affect the visual effects, so I asked me to build a stage for you in advance." β
"Oh...... So?" Yun Xiao felt a chill down her spine begin to run down, a nameless fear that made her unable to take a step under her heavy feet.
An Yu trotted to the side, took out the magic mirror in his arms and opened it, only to see that on the other side of the mirror, the Star Saintess took off her robe, took off her mask, and her whole face was going to be on the mirror.
"The eldest princess said, you play this play. An Yu chuckled and waved vigorously at the old man in the restaurant, "Grandpa, please!"
Before the words fell, the old man on the second floor slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the newly made cloth bag puppet and put it in the box.
Yun Xiao's body moved by itself at this moment! She looked at her arm in surprise, it turned out that she had unconsciously pulled the thin white line, and those seemingly weak lines controlled her body to involuntarily walk towards the middle of the stage, and the "audience" in the audience also began to applaud!
Ordinary spells couldn't get close to her, but at this moment, the Spirit Phoenix's Breath didn't work...... Yun Xiao gritted her teeth silently, was it because these threads were real, or was it because her body was affected by those three bottles of poison?
