"No! If this continues, you and I will both die!" Mu Yuan said, she just wanted Li Huaiyun to let go of herself.
"Why do you think we're all going to die?"
"If you were the only one, you could get out of here."
Faced with such a scene, Li Huaiyun remained quite calm and laughed, "How many times do I have to tell you, if I want to leave, I won't come down!"
"Since you feel it's not good to carry it, let's change the position!"
"What?"
Before Mu Yuan could react, Li Huaiyun put Mu Yuan down, squatted to one side, hugged her legs, and let her sit on his shoulders.
He clasped those slender, soft legs tightly, slowly bent down, used his shoulders to bump into the monsters that kept coming, and continued to walk up the steps.
Many monsters were knocked away and fell down the steps.
At this time, there were more and more monsters climbing on the rock wall. As long as they found the right moment, they would pounce directly on Li Huaiyun regardless of life or death.
Mu Yuan was held in this position, she could only lean towards Li Huaiyun and grasp his shoulders. Her expression was slightly complicated, with some joy and deep despair.
She looked at the monsters with greedy eyes, and felt that her bones had become a little soft, as if their marrow had been sucked dry.
"Can we really escape?"
"There is always hope! As I said before, including now, fate will determine our life and death! And we just need to do our best."
Those monsters kept jumping from the rock wall to the steps, basically surrounding them.
"What should I do?" Mu Yuan looked at the monsters that were getting closer and hated herself for holding Li Huaiyun back.
"How about you go first!"
"Why do you keep saying this when you come and go! If you want to leave first, then I won't come down to save you at all!" Li Huaiyun was obviously a little impatient, "Strange! Narcissus and the others should have left here long ago, and they will definitely notify Sikyong. , why no one has come to help until now."
He raised his head and looked at the entrance to the sewer. He still felt that it was not reasonable. Could it be that something happened outside and they couldn't spare any manpower?
Look at this situation, it’s very possible!
Li Huaiyun comforted, "They should be coming soon. We have to hold on until Sikyong and the others come to rescue us!"
"But we can't deal with these monsters now."
Li Huaiyun looked around. Facing the numerous monsters, he had to find a way to drag them down. Active attack should be impossible. A man can bend and stretch, so he could only hide and defend!
"I have a plan, but I can delay it for a little longer! I just want to wrong you Mu Yuan!"
"It doesn't matter if you can live and feel a little wronged!"
"Great! Then I would be rude!"
"Discourteous?" Mu Yuan looked confused and didn't understand what this guy meant.
Li Huaiyun put down Mu Yuan, and then hugged Mu Yuan tightly. He used hard qigong again, and then fell backwards. In this way, their bodies were pressed tightly against each other, and they fell to the ground with their eyes open. relatively.
The woman in his arms has always been interested in the study of wooden mechanics. This hobby is a bit like that of men, so the whole body is relatively strong, but compared to him, it is still a little soft, especially the mountain peaks, which are quite soft and elastic.
He quickly turned sideways, pressed Mu Yuan under him, exposed his back, and allowed the monster to bite him.
"you..."
"Do not talk!"
Li Huaiyun's body felt numb from the beginning. After a while, scratches and wounds began to appear on various parts of his body.
These monsters are indeed not simple. If you want to survive, you must practice hard qigong well.
Mu Yuan was hugged tightly, her cheeks were red, and she couldn't say anything. She thought to herself that this was his rudeness. She had been obsessed with mechanism skills for so many years and had never had any intimacy with a man. experience.
For her, those things are not needed at all, she just wants to study mechanism skills.
But in the current situation, this man had to endure tremendous pain in order to keep her alive. She felt that this feeling should be kept in her heart forever.
"Are you okay?" Mu Yuan had difficulty speaking and could only ask a few simple questions. She could already feel the other person's body shaking, and sweat mixed with blood slowly flowing down both sides of the body. In this situation, I'm afraid that The pain has just begun.
"It's okay! I can hold on for a while longer."
Li Huaiyun's back has been bitten with blood, and the hard qigong has gradually lost its effect. If no one comes here yet, he will probably have his bone marrow sucked out by then.
"Damn it! These monster bites hurt a bit!"
Mu Yuan looked at Li Huaiyun distressedly and shouted angrily, "We can't help it anymore, so we choose to fight."
"You should be very clear about the consequences of desperate efforts. Until the last moment...! Ah!" Before Li Huaiyun could finish his words, the heartbreaking pain was forced on his arms and back. The hard qigong had already Totally useless!
It’s over! He felt that the muscle tissue of his arms and back were being bitten continuously, as if an awl was stirring inside the flesh.
"This is...the last..." Cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead.
Li Huaiyun felt a chill behind him, as if the wind from the sewer had penetrated into his muscles and bones.
At this moment, another scene appeared before his eyes. The water vapor in the air gradually solidified, and then, suddenly, shiny ice cubes formed.
The same thing happened around him. The water vapor continued to expand around him, freezing him, Mu Yuan, and the monster in a huge ice block.
The uneven ice surface reflected many images, which was dazzling. He seemed to see his past and future.
Have I already arrived in the underworld? its not right! How could there be such a cold winter in the underworld? He thought the only possibility was that he was frozen and waiting to be revived in a few hundred years.
But then I thought about it, this world is quite primitive and closed, how could such a technology exist? People here don’t even know Newton’s three laws, let alone those inscrutable contents.
If not! So what happened to me? Li Huaiyun thought about this, and at this moment, he vaguely heard someone talking outside the ice.
"Lord...man, it's okay...right? Why are you doing this?"
"This is to... rescue people in time. Look at the wounds on his arms and back, they were bitten repeatedly!"
"But why are you even the princess?"
"They are all within the same range, this trick is not accurate to everyone!"
"How long will it take to... get it out!"
"After a while, the ice will be completely broken! Move them outside first."
Li Huaiyun's consciousness gradually blurred, and he slowly closed his eyes. After an unknown amount of time, he regained consciousness and woke up from his sleep.
Ever since he knew he was frozen, his consciousness has probably been traveling around the universe, and has been reminding himself to stay alive!
He slowly opened his eyes, his whole body was still shivering due to the cold, his entire face was covered with water drops, and his hair was wet.
Li Huaiyun looked at the roof of the house, weakly raised his arm, and glanced at the wounds on it. On the outside of his own arm, there was a row of terrifying tooth marks that penetrated deep into the bones. If it were any later, he would have been bitten off the bones. , was ruthlessly eaten to death by those monsters.
He sat up, then shook the water on his head vigorously, and looked at Sikyong who opened the door from outside.
Li Huaiyong asked with a trembling voice, "Sikyong, what's going on? Why do I feel like I'm frozen in the ice!"
Sikyong stroked his gray beard, "You were frozen in the ice! I did it to protect your body."
"Protect my body? Because my injuries are relatively serious?"
"Indeed!" Sikyong responded loudly, "Those monsters living in such an environment with rotting corpses must carry deadly toxins on their bodies. When they bite people, the toxins will enter their bodies."
Sikyong explained, "I used the extremely cold ice field! It instantly freezes everything around you."
"Is...is this necessary? This guy is very poisonous?" Li Huaiyun felt that this method was a bit strange.
"Of course! Why don't you take a look at what's happening to your arms and back! If you don't use this trick, I'm afraid your body will suffer even greater damage."
Sikyong looked at him and said seriously, "I took a general look at the monster you trapped with the rope net. The blood and saliva on its body are indeed very toxic!"
"That's why I used the Extremely Cold Ice Realm, and you and Mu Yuan were desperate."
Li Huaiyun slowly straightened up and looked around, "Is Mu Yuan okay?"
"You don't have to worry about her anymore. She is a princess, so there must be many people taking care of her!"
"Oh! Then I'm relieved! I finally lived up to Sikyong's instructions." Li Huaiyun patted his chest, "Fortunately, I brought her up."
Qin Gang curled his lips and said, "I know now. I have reminded you before and you didn't refuse. Now you finally know that I didn't lie to you!"
Li Huaiyun sighed, "Sikyong, you are so right. I should refuse the princess's request."
"At that time, I thought that there wouldn't be any problems just investigating a case in the palace. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. A palace maid was holding a bowl and said, "Sir, the requested medicinal soup has been prepared."
"Come in!" Qin Gang stood there, then pointed at the palace maid who came in, and the palace maid brought the soup to the bedside.
"Drink quickly!"
Li Huaiyun was holding the bowl of soup. The smell of the soup was very strong, dark brown, and quite strong. "Is this such a medicine?"
"It nourishes qi and blood! After the ice melted, your face looked very ugly, so I asked the palace people to make this bowl of soup for you."
Li Huaiyun frowned, endured the bitter taste, and drank the soup in one gulp.
The maid took the bowl away and left the room.
Li Huaiyun leaned on the bedside and said to Qin Gang, "This time I came back from the sewer, and my subordinates made new discoveries."
Sikyong stood there with a serious look on his face, "Tell me, what's going on down there?"
"There are many secrets in the sewers in the palace. In particular, there is a murder weapon buried in the rock wall, which is sealed with Taoist talismans and guarded by a special monster."
"The monster that attacked you?"
"Yes! A kind of monster that feeds on bone marrow. They hide in the water of the ditch. As long as someone approaches the rock wall, they will come out of the water and continue to attack those who are close until they die."
"That thing can't be natural,"
"Sikyong, judging from his appearance and appearance, he must be a special monster!"
"Looking at it this way, this thing is a little different!"
Li Huaiyun was a little stunned by this. He just didn't think that the monster had an unknown side.
Qin Gang put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth, "Who on earth is raising such a thing in that place, and when did they start raising it?!"
He pointed at Li Huaiyun and said, "What else? These things are by no means simple."
"I need more news!"
