Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's Broken
This way down the wheel, Mu Chen protected the woman in his arms, no matter what he encountered, he didn't let go.
After a period of dizziness, they finally rolled down to the bottom of the cliff, and Mu Chen only felt like he was falling apart, and no part of his body was still intact.
After a while, the girl also regained consciousness and got up to leave, Mu Chen quickly got up from the ground, looked at the dark surroundings, and quickly took out a few fire charms from his arms to light the light, not forgetting to apologize to her.
"I'm sorry, I just ...... the emergency"
As soon as Mu Chen's words were halfway through, he swallowed the unspoken half of the sentence that had not yet been spoken.
Just because they rolled down from the top of the cliff just now, the girl's hat didn't know where to throw it at this moment, and in the swaying firelight, her face was all displayed in Mu Chen's eyes.
Her eyes were like water, but with a touch of coldness and rejection, although she was a girl, but there was indifference in her eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
His lips were down, and his long hair hung straight down, emitting a faint fragrance.
Dressed in white, with a slender waist and slender limbs, he really has the temperament of a fairy in the Moon Palace.
And at this moment, she had just recovered from the excessive fright, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she poked around the bottom of the dark cliff, the corners of her skirt fluttering, like a pale butterfly lost in the dark, exuding a faint light.
"Why did you save me?"
She suddenly turned around and asked, but Mu Chen was caught off guard.
"Well, you saved my life when you were at the inn before, and I just wanted to repay you for saving my life......
"Oh. ”
She responded coldly, like an emotionless puppet, and seemed to be very puzzled by Mu Chen's action of saving her, and she didn't have any joy about surviving.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet. ”
"My name is Mu Chen, I am a disciple of the Bamboo Sword Hall, and I am ranked twelfth in the door, so some people also call me Mu Twelve. ”
Mu Chen asked her with a smirk, although her whole person was cold, but from the inn to the barren mountain, what she did was not really indifferent in Mu Chen's opinion, the heart that killed the demon beast was hot, maybe it was just not good at expressing it.
"Shizun. ”
The girl finally said her name, and like the temperament of this name, she was quiet indeed.
Just like at this moment, the two of them didn't know why they fell into the dark hole, Jingnu didn't mean to blame, and she didn't want to comfort the injured teenager.
Mu Chen felt even more guilty in his heart, he hurriedly checked this place carefully, and threw the fire talisman in all directions, so that he could see the whole picture of the cave here.
There was a huge space above their heads, and the top of the rock cave was a few dozen feet above their heads, and there were a few cracks that might be left by the movement of the earth's crust, and when they looked up, they couldn't see anything.
Mu Chen divided half of the fire talisman and handed it to Jingnu, and then offered a bamboo sword.
"Miss Jingnu, you wait here for me for a moment. ”
"We fell off a cliff, and the exit should be up there, but now it looks like none of those cracks can pass through a person, so I'll fly up first to see if there's a crack that will allow us to get out. ”
Jingnu nodded, found a stone and sat down, but instead of taking the fire talisman, she took out a lantern from the Qiankun bag.
Driven by the aura, the lantern suddenly lit up with a blue-white light, which immediately suppressed the flickering fire in Mu Chen's hand, causing Mu Chen's face to turn red, and secretly took the fire talisman back into his arms.
Fortunately, Jingnu didn't look sideways at Mu Chen, who was holding the bamboo sword, like her senior sisters, otherwise he would have to break the bamboo sword on the spot.
He ascended with his sword, searching for a long, centipede-like crack at the top of the rock cave.
The crack was so irregular that it was only the thickness of a finger in some places, wider than a fist in others, but it couldn't pass through a person.
Mu Chen felt that he had flown far away, but he still hadn't found a place where the two of them could fall smoothly, he couldn't help but feel strange, and even blamed himself for only remembering the fragrance in his arms when he fell, and he didn't have any impression of anything left.
The bamboo sword stopped under a relatively wide gap, and Mu Chen poked the burning fire talisman in.
He wanted to see how thick the rock wall above his head was, and if it was just a thin layer, he might be able to split it with his sword, so he wouldn't have to go through any more trouble finding the crevice where they had fallen.
Under the warm firelight, Mu Chen found that this crack was dozens of zhang long, extending upwards at all, and there was no end in sight.
Moreover, the width and narrowness of the depth of the gap are extremely unevenly distributed, even if Mu Chen finds a gap that can barely pass through one person, if he encounters a sudden narrowing of the gap when ascending, he still has to return from the original way.
He flew forward some distance, but still couldn't find a suitable way to leave, so he could only return to Shizunu's side.
After galloping for a long time, Mu Chen finally saw the familiar blue light, and Jing Nu was still sitting on the big stone, as if she hadn't moved, until she saw Mu Chen flying back, and then she had some reaction.
It's a pity that after Mu Chen landed, he could only shake his head at her.
"There was no road up there, so we had to walk from the ground. ”
Jingnu didn't ask much, and got up with the blue lantern, as if it didn't matter if she was trapped here.
Mu Chen extinguished the extinguishing charm, his index finger dipped in some saliva and stood in the air, and after a while, he suddenly pointed in one direction.
"We went this way, and the wind was blowing in this direction. ”
Jing Nu immediately understood Mu Chen's saliva, and walked quietly side by side with Mu Chen, while not forgetting to be vigilant around to avoid any more sneak attacks by demon beasts.
The strange rocks here are craggy, the strange peaks are abrupt, and the occasional dripping sound comes from both sides, adding a bit of coldness to the dark cave.
Originally, they were supposed to go with Edgeworth, but both of them had consumed too much aura on the cliff peak before, and walking at the moment could also make the aura recover stably, so no one raised Edgeworth's words first.
They walked through the tunnel, and occasionally encountered a lot of rats and spiders running by, as well as weak demon beasts trapped in the cave, all of which were killed by Mu Chen.
After about a pillar of incense, an exit suddenly appeared in front of them, and there was still a glimmer of light outside, Mu Chen hurriedly quickened his pace, and even the soreness when he fell off the cliff gradually subsided.
He strode out of the cave before Jingnu, stopped suddenly, and suddenly turned back!
"Don't come out!"
......
On the top of the cliff, purple clothes fluttered.
The female disciples of the Purple Cloud Peak Heavenly Palace were still struggling to kill a new round of demon beasts that had gathered from the barren forest.
The demon beasts that attacked them this time were not only demon rats, but also many demon beasts formed by common animals such as mountain poison snakes and wild wolves.
Everyone was focusing on their surroundings, for fear of being attacked by these demon beasts, after all, they didn't know how many demon beasts would come out in the future, but looking at the momentum, the number of new demon beasts that ran out was much less.
A female disciple wielded a fairy sword, constantly fighting off the demon beasts, and at the same time looked in the direction of the cliff from time to time.
"Zi Jiang, the two of them haven't come up yet, should we ......?"
"Just your mouth, she has so many immortal weapons on her body, ordinary demon beasts can still hurt her, even if there are fierce beasts, she can escape without injury, and she doesn't pay attention to the demon beast group in front of her!"
"There are so many demon beasts here, and a group of demon beasts has been formed several times, if someone is not deliberately luring the beast into a demon, or there is a treasure nearby that can gather the anger of heaven and earth, don't you remember the purpose of the palace master sending us this time?"
"It's hard to get rid of that Bamboo Sword Hall, if you don't kill all the demon beasts quickly, we're going to enter the wasteland to hunt for treasure!"
