The man sighed and suddenly laughed.
"I think it's funny to come here one after another..."
"It's okay," Xiaolan comforted her heartily, "Just relax..."
"You have a good attitude," the man said sarcastically, "Do you know why I keep coming here over and over again? Is it because you, a girl, have such a poor understanding of movies that you haven't figured it out yet..."
"I can't figure it out," Xiaolan said as if she was afraid of boiling water. "Why don't you just tell me directly."
"I would like to be more direct," the man said helplessly, "This is your own problem, how can I be direct?"
Xiaolan held her forehead and said, "If there is nothing you can do, just put me back first. I feel that my teammates can still be saved."
"Don't worry," the man spoke more slowly, "After you finish this last sentence with me, you will go back."
"The last sentence?"
"The last sentence," although Xiaolan couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, Xiaolan knew that he nodded, "are you willing to sacrifice?"
"ha?"
Xiaolan was a little surprised by this sentence without beginning or end.
"Don't understand?" The man asked again, "Still don't understand what sacrifice is?"
"I... don't know what you are referring to," Xiaolan stuttered, "Who sacrificed? What sacrifice?"
"You, of course you," the man replied decisively, "I mean, are you willing to sacrifice for others?"
"If it is for my companions... of course I am willing," Xiaolan said softly, "but... my companions will not allow such a thing to happen, they..."
"You are avoiding my question," the man shook his head, "but it doesn't matter, I just want you to hear this question."
Xiaolan opened her mouth and stared blankly at the face that could not be seen clearly.
Am I avoiding this question?
It seems... indeed it is.
But……
"Go back." The man suddenly waved his hand towards Xiaolan.
"What?" This time it was Xiaolan's turn to be confused, "Are we done talking?"
"Go back," the man's figure gradually faded, and the black spots became smaller and smaller, "remember the conversation we just had."
"I...I remember." Xiaolan clenched her hands.
At the moment when the black spot was almost invisible, Xiaolan suddenly felt a violent pull coming from behind. Xiaolan was not paying attention and was directly knocked down by the force.
The moment he fell, the heartbreaking pain suddenly returned to him.
"Ah!" Xiaolan couldn't hold it back and cried out for a moment.
"Xiaolan, what's wrong?" A face leaned over.
It's Luo Jiutian.
Xiaolan clutched her chest, sweat rolling down her forehead.
"Brother Jiutian...I..."
"Why did you open your eyes?" Luo Jiutian widened his eyes and said, "Close it quickly."
My eyes open?
Xiaolan turned her head and saw her companions struggling everywhere.
There are also giant yellow pupils in the distance.
You...are back?
Xiaolan quickly closed her eyes. After the pain in her chest subsided, she propped up her elbows and sat up from the ground.
I don't know whether the power of the giant pupils is increasing or whether her own perception has become sharper. This time, even with her eyes closed, Xiaolan still feels the pain in her heart surrounding herself like annoying insects, which is difficult to ignore.
"Are you okay..." Luo Jiutian held Xiaolan's arm and helped her sit up straight, "Xiaolan, are you okay? Can you still hold on?"
"I can still hold on," Xiaolan said through gritted teeth, "Brother Jiutian, what happened just now?"
"Just now?" Luo Jiutian paused, "Which one just now?"
"That's when...I lost consciousness."
"You lost consciousness?" Luo Jiutian's tone was very surprised, "When did it happen?"
Xiaolan frowned.
Putting it this way... the conversation I had with Yi Nian just now might have only happened in a split second.
"Xiaolan, why don't you speak again?" Luo Jiutian shook Xiaolan's shoulders, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No...no," Xiaolan coughed twice, "Brother Jiutian, I feel that the influence of those eyes is getting bigger and bigger."
"Xiao Lan's feeling is correct," Lao Luo said, "It won't be long before we can't bear it anymore."
"Then what should we do?" Xiaolan sniffed, "Can you really not think of a solution?"
"I have a way."
Among the high and low moans, a steady and powerful voice came.
Xiaolan pricked up her ears following the direction of the sound.
That is summer flower.
"Sister Hua..." Luo Jiutian immediately jumped for joy, "Sister Hua, you have thought of a way!"
"I thought of it," Xia Hua's voice seemed to be sighing, "Maybe... it's okay."
"Even if there is only a glimmer of possibility, we have to give it a try..." The Taoist priest's weak voice floated over from not far away. Xiaolan had never heard the Taoist priest speak in such a voice.
Xiaolan was so nervous that she held her breath.
"Master Xia Hua, please tell me what solution you have come up with," Yi Yao's voice became much older, "If this continues, we... Jasmine and Mu Yuan may not be able to hold on anymore..."
Jasmine!
Xiaolan fumbled and moved towards Jasmine.
"My method has nothing to do with you," Xia Hua's voice became lower, "it's all about using my life bugs."
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
"The life insect..." Lao Luo whispered, "If it is the life insect of the Xia Hua family, the energy is indeed enough, but..."
"If I remember correctly, the Xiahua clan leader's insect has chirped twice," Yi Yao said, "In this case... this time, it is likely to be the last time. After three chirps, it cannot chirp again. "
Xia Hua was silent for a few seconds, and then let out a dull "hmm".
"But..." Luo Jiutian suddenly spoke.
Everyone wanted to wait for him to finish speaking, but Luo Jiutian just hesitated and said something that others could not understand.
"I always feel... like... not quite... but..."
"At present, it seems that this is the only way." Xia Hua coldly interrupted Luo Jiutian's nonsense.
Everyone stopped talking, as if they acquiesced to Xia Hua's words.
"Okay..." Xia Hua's voice suddenly trembled, "Then I will..."
"Sister Xiahua," Xiaolan asked crisply, "Are you sure your life bug has only chirped twice, right?"
Xia Hua was silent again.
"certainly."
Xiaolan tilted her head, feeling pain in her chest again. She took two breaths of cold air and didn't ask any more questions.
Xia Hua put her fingers on her chest. She felt that she should see everything around her clearly.
She opened her eyes, and severe pain swept over her instantly.
