Seeing that the people around him were no longer moving, Gu Huai could finally concentrate on paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Ningxia's judgment is undoubtedly worthy of scrutiny, because the current surrounding situation does seem a bit strange.
As the only informed person present, Gu Huai had no choice but to step in and act as the leader.
Maybe Ning Xia didn't realize it either. Unknowingly, she had changed her attitude. Although the doubts in her heart could not be eliminated, her whole person became clear. Unconsciously, she got closer and closer to Gu Huai, warily watching the situation around her.
The two of them placed their backs on each other, forming a circle, and their consciousness expanded to the maximum extent, trying to capture the location of the movement.
This change seemed huge, and seemed to take a lot of time, but in fact it was just a blink of an eye, and the two of them had completed a round of tacit exploration.
"It's Yin Blood Vine, yes. I smelled this cold and clammy smell under the cliff." It's not entirely true that it's fishy. It's an indescribable smell, with a green smell of decaying vegetation. Mixed with the stench of blood, it smelled like being in a cold, damp cemetery.
As she spoke, Ningxia couldn't help but shuddered violently, and then remembered the terrifying experience of being bitten by that thing on the cliff.
...Really, what is she thinking? Isn't it bad enough now? The true form of the Yin Blood Vine is very likely to be nearby, and it may appear at any time to entangle the two of them and gnaw at their flesh and blood. Their death will be very miserable when the time comes.
Ningxia sometimes really can't figure out her own thinking. Now that I've really figured it out, I'm not scared anymore. Well, actually I'm not that scared anymore...after all, I can't hide now even if I want to. Or think about how to get out of trouble and how to survive? !
After hearing Ning Xia's judgment, Gu Huai's mind started to work quickly.
If this movement was really caused by the Yin Blood Vine, why didn't it attack them for so long? Have they not been discovered yet or are they unable to do so for the time being?
Where is its current specific location? How far away are they? How long will it take to find them...
Countless questions spewed out, but obviously there was not so much time to answer them one by one.
Ningxia has also seen the pervasiveness of the Yin Blood Vine, as well as its extremely stubborn habit of chasing its prey to the end. If it had locked their position at this moment and there was no obstruction, then they should undoubtedly be mummies at this moment.
No, maybe there are no mummies left. Because the Yin Blood Vine devours its prey in all directions, blood, meat, bones and even hair all become part of its body's nutrients. This is truly a dead body!
So has it discovered them? Obviously, they clearly felt that the sound was coming in their direction, and the two of them also clearly felt that they were being targeted by prey. However, they were still a little unsure. After all, they were both still young and knew little about the existence of Yin Blood Vine.
But there is no doubt that it must have failed to discover their specific location or that it is currently unable to launch a direct attack on them. Otherwise, they would have been pierced by the Yin Blood Vine long ago, with their bones torn into their bellies, how could they have endured until now.
Confirming this point immediately gave Gu Huai and his two men time to escape. But it was clear that time was running out, and no matter what the reason was that it couldn't attack them, it wouldn't be forever.
They can only run for this moment, and they must run as fast as they can.
The sound was getting closer, it seemed to be in their ears, yet it seemed far away. The unique smell of Yin Blood Vine floated in and out, constantly irritating their already fragile nerves.
At this moment, their minds were extremely clear, and no one knew better than them how close they were to death.
It can't be delayed any longer.
It is better to live than to die. Even if you fail in the end, at least you have tried hard——
This is the secret that Gu Huai has always been able to survive in difficult situations, and it is also the truth that Ningxia has always believed in.
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, and with a measure and a rough direction in his mind, Gu Huai was already half pulling Ning Xia towards a certain direction in the darkness.
No, bro, you don’t even have to look at the road? It's so dark, the monks are so powerful...
But it's obviously not the time to dwell on this. Because she doesn't have this function at all, she really can't see anything in the dark.
In this invisible tug-of-war, it is obvious that Ningxia’s existence has no constructive effect and may even become a burden to others’ survival.
Because there is nothing she can do, Ningxia is naturally anxious at the moment. Firstly, because she can do nothing to help and can only wait. Secondly, because they are weak and unable to resist, why should she be an extra burden? Wouldn't he die faster?
Ningxia doesn't want to be a burden to others.
Just because the other person didn't leave her behind in such a situation, they were really close friends. Ningxia felt sorry for her previous doubts and villainy.
Many thoughts immediately flashed through her mind. First of all...it wasn't even a matter of life and death yet, so she really didn't want to use the little black box, especially when other people were around. It would be very troublesome to use it later.
Furthermore, she took stock of the tools in her hands and found that there were really few that could save her life. And without the cover of a small black box, these tools are very likely to "repair" them too. There are still some... She doesn't know if she can deal with the Yin Blood Vine.
Ahhh, what should she do? !
However, the situation quickly deteriorated and became dangerous, leaving Ningxia no time to worry about it.
"Lift...dongdong..."
"Boom -" There was a sudden loud noise, as if something hit a certain barrier hard, and something seemed to crack.
Although they didn't know what was going on and couldn't see it, the two of them in Ningxia felt their scalps numb and quickened their pace.
"No, it seems to be going faster!" Gu Huai said in a breathy voice, his voice was hoarse and had a strange dull feeling.
Ning Xia felt as if he was speaking with his throat pressed down, his teeth pressed together, and he felt like he couldn't raise his breath.
In fact, Gu Huai was indeed not very well. Although his body has slowed down a bit, it is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. Once the spiritual power is rolling and the soul is moving, how can this body, which is already "pasted" like paper, get better?
In fear, he was now jumping with all his strength. In order to gain one more second of chance to save his life, he did not hesitate to continue to overdraw his spiritual power and "tear" his body, which had just improved a little, himself. How can he be better?
Naturally, he had to hold down his throat to speak, because if he didn't hold down his breath, a mouthful of blood might spurt out from him in the next moment. When the hanging breath is released, no one can escape from here!
Gu Huai didn't want to die, nor did he want to kill others.
