The heat was gone.
The breeze and coolness slowly wiped away Xiaolan's pain.
"you're awake?"
The first moment Xiaolan returned to her mind, she heard the girl's voice.
Xiaolan's eyelids trembled slightly, and the wounds all over her body began to show their presence again.
She gasped.
"It's not bleeding anymore," the girl's voice said again, "but it might still hurt a little."
Xiaolan opened her eyes.
Bai Ying knelt beside her and put one hand on her abdomen. They were in a shallow cave opened on the cliff. The rocks in the cave were glowing with green light, just like the underwater space.
"You are..." Xiaolan stood up and half leaned against the cave wall.
Bai Ying's smile was very weak. She raised her hand and pushed her hair behind her ears, "I am already a dead person."
It’s almost the same as Xiaolan’s guess.
"Are you Lang Yuerong's sister?"
Bai Ying smiled slightly and nodded.
"Then you are also the daughter of clan leader Langhui?"
Nod.
"Then...are you the one who was sacrificed?"
Bai Ying said nothing and nodded for the third time.
Xiaolan's shoulders suddenly dropped, "Clan leader Langhui has actually lost one of his daughters, and he actually plans to sacrifice his other daughter..."
"Is the Lang family's sacrifice this year a Yuerong?" Bai Ying's tone was calm.
Xiaolan nodded heavily, "It's too unfair."
"What's unfair about this?" Bai Ying narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Isn't someone else's daughter not a daughter? The matter falls on us, no matter how much we complain, there is nothing we can do."
Xiaolan sighed softly, and then asked, "Why did you say you were dead?"
"That's what it means literally," Bai Ying said softly, "I'm already dead."
"Then why are you here?"
Bai Ying finally shook his head, "I don't know either."
"Not sure?"
"I don't know," Bai Ying stroked the back of her hand curiously, "I still remember the scene when I died. This is the first time I have consciousness again since I died."
Xiaolan suddenly thought of something and opened her palms to reveal the ruby in her palms.
"this is yours?"
Bai Ying's eyes lit up, "Why are you here?"
"I guess that's why you came back," Xiaolan coughed up another mouthful of blood, "Ahem... maybe your relic summoned you... why do you want to protect me?"
"When I woke up, I only had one thought in my mind," Bai Ying stroked Xiaolan's hair, "I just can't let you get hurt."
"Uh... could it be because we helped Lang Yuerong?"
"I don't know," Bai Ying put down his hand, "I don't understand."
Xiaolan scratched the back of his head in confusion, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, why did I think your voice sounded familiar to me? I heard your voice in Jin Xiange."
That was the voice Xiaolan heard in her dream that night when she held Jin Xiange and fell asleep.
Bai Ying's eyes changed and he looked a little cowed, "Jin Xiange...Jin Xiange is..."
"What is it?"
"We were all killed by Jin Xiange." Bai Ying's body began to tremble.
"Jin Xiange?" Xiaolan stood up holding the wound on his back, "How is that possible? Isn't Jin Xiange in the village?"
"Jin Xiange is not a simple weapon, it is a tooth... its poisonous fang... the giant moon..."
Bai Ying's figure began to blur, and his words were intermittent.
"What fangs? What giant moon?" Xiaolan reached out anxiously to grab Bai Ying's arm, but her hands fluttered and her grasp was empty, "What's going on?"
"I'm going to disappear, you follow..."
Before he finished speaking, the white shadow disappeared in mid-air like a burst of dissipating smoke.
Xiaolan hurriedly grabbed the ruby that fell on the ground, "Come back! Come back!..."
No more movement.
Xiaolan was left alone, kneeling in the cave covered with bruises.
"Follow..." Xiaolan murmured to herself, "What should I follow?"
Why does this always happen when the answer is about to be revealed? Is there some kind of power that is preventing her from telling all this?
Jin Xiange is a tooth, a fang.
Could it be... a snake?
The giant moon is again...
Just as Xiaolan was thinking about it, her feet began to become unstable, but this time it was not because of her injuries, but because the ground began to shake violently.
Earthquake?
Xiaolan struggled to move to the entrance of the cave wall and looked out.
Groups of green-eyed snakes were still swarming under the pit, and the entire space was shaking.
Slowly, a small hill bulged out from the group of snakes, and the snakes on the hill slid off one after another, revealing a golden and smooth bulge.
The raised surface glowed with a strange sheen, and the snakes dispersed in horror.
What's this?
The bulge continued to rise, and after a while, it was several meters high.
Then, Xiaolan saw two familiar golden pupils.
Xiaolan covered her mouth.
It's a snake!
Huge snake!
There are two golden glowing eyes on the snake's head. One eye alone is bigger than the entrance of the cave where Xiaolan hides.
Oh my god...oh my god...
The snake stuck out its head and began to swim upstream.
It's almost like a dragon.
The snake head quickly swam to Xiaolan's height. Xiaolan was fortunate that it was not coming towards her. The golden snake seemed to have not seen her and flew straight to the top of the pit.
It's about to fly out of this pit.
Xiaolan pinched the stone at the entrance of the cave.
It's okay to get out of the trap yourself, but just by yourself...
It must be the one that Bai Ying asked him to follow.
Xiaolan gritted her teeth, leaned out half of her body, took a deep breath, and when the golden snake's tail swept near the cave, she jumped with all her strength and just landed on the snake's tail. She quietly broke out a piece of reverse scale. He wrapped his hands and feet tightly around the snake's body and followed the golden snake, rising rapidly.
***
The red-eyed snake swallowed four eyeballs. The red snake eyes suddenly narrowed and its neck slowly became flat, clearly showing a fighting posture.
"Lu Qianqian," Jasmine asked quickly without looking back, "How high can you jump?"
Lu Qianqianqian understood instantly that she was referring to his ability.
"How high do you want it?"
"This wall is so high," Jasmine tilted her head to the side, "Is that okay?"
"OK."
"Then grab a handful of stones and jump there..."
"Hit it, right?"
"right."
After Lu Qianqian finished speaking, his body suddenly lowered, and then the figure suddenly disappeared. The next second, several stones hit the snake's head from above their heads. Lu Qianqian rolled over and landed firmly on the ground.
The red-eyed snake was completely angry.
It suddenly opened its mouth wide, and let out a dangerous hiss from deep in its throat. The snake's body suddenly stood up, its fangs stood up, and it bit into the position where Lu Qianqian had just stopped in the air.
The moment the snake's body lifted off the ground, Jasmine yelled, "This is here!"
All three saw it.
Under the rough scales of the red-eyed snake, there was a soft area that was pulsing slightly. The moment it became angry, it was exposed to the three of them.
This is its flaw, its seven inches, its heart!
