Chapter 95: An Incredible Friend
The original book once recorded that there were two exits in the underground palace. Sang Ying revealed the information about the second exit to Fang Chi and the others long after she was involved in the mural.
They also made it clear that as soon as they left the stone room, they would go in the direction Sang Ying said.
Now that the underground palace has collapsed, Sang Ying doesn't know whether the two of them passed the test of the stone chamber. The message sent from the messenger talisman also fell into the sea without any response.
But the underground palace was also in danger. Sang Ying did not dare to stay for a long time, so she could only run in the direction written in the book.
"Don't worry, those two little kids look like they are very lucky, and they will definitely not get into trouble so easily." Seeing Sang Ying's frown, Gu Shu comforted her in time.
Sang Ying couldn't tell whether there was luck or not, but she could hear Gu Shu's good intentions and responded, "I hope so!"
She was not slow and quickly reached the second half of the underground palace.
The sound of collapse was already left behind by Sang Ying. She took out the Zhaoye Pearl from her storage bag and plunged into the endless darkness ahead.
The tunnel is narrow and deep, and the night-lighting bead in Sang Ying's hand can only illuminate a small area of the world in front of it.
She hadn't walked far when she heard the faint sound of footsteps.
Worried that she would be in danger, Sang Ying immediately put away the Zhaoye Pearl, ducked into a corner, and quietly drew out her long sword.
After she said this last night, the footsteps hurriedly came near Sang Ying.
Without giving the other person a chance to react, when the person came to Sang Ying's side, she immediately thrust out her long sword.
The opponent's reaction was quite sensitive and he narrowly avoided the first sword, but the next second Sang Ying's sword was placed on his neck.
"Fellow Taoist, have mercy on me, I didn't do anything!" the man suddenly screamed.
This voice sounded somewhat familiar to Sang Ying's ears. She quickly took out the Zhaoye Pearl and put it in front of the other person. The bright white light immediately illuminated the person's appearance clearly.
"Hai Tingzhou, why did you come over there?" Sang Ying didn't forget that Hai Tingzhou came towards the collapse of the underground palace. Normally, shouldn't he be heading out? Why did he run back?
Woolen cloth?
As soon as he saw Sang Ying, Hai Tingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression quickly became tense again: "Something happened. I was going to find you. Come with me!"
"By the way, don't take Zhaoye Pearl with you!" Hai Tingzhou, who immediately walked in front to lead the way, also told Sang Ying.
Seeing his cautious look, Sang Ying naturally didn't dare not listen and immediately put away the Zhaoye Pearl.
Fortunately, the monk's eyesight is very good, even if the night beads are not illuminated, the two of them will not be able to see the road ahead clearly.
The further forward, Hai Tingzhou's footsteps became lighter. Sang Ying followed suit and became more cautious in her actions.
After not walking far, the tunnel suddenly became empty. Looking from a distance, there seemed to be dots of bright green light on the stone walls of the tunnel.
Hai Tingzhou stopped and made room for Sang Ying: "This is it, Fang Chi is on top."
He raised his hand and pointed diagonally upward. Sang Ying looked over and could only see a huge silkworm cocoon, hanging alone on the stone wall, which looked extremely abrupt.
"What do you mean, Fang Chi is inside the cocoon?" Sang Ying expressed her guess.
Hai Tingzhou nodded sharply: "We wanted to go out and wait for you, but we encountered an accident when we got here. I don't know what kind of monster those shiny things are. There are so many that they can spin silk. They will chase the light source.
Finally, it wraps the person in a cocoon and gives up."
He briefly explained his experience with Fang Chi, and they didn't know whether they were lucky or not.
He successfully passed the test and left the stone chamber before the underground palace began to collapse. However, he encountered this strange thing out of thin air halfway.
Because Fang Chi walked at the front and was the one exploring the road with the Zhaoye Pearl, he received the most attacks.
Although her knife was powerful, it could not stop the number of bugs inside, and in the end, it was directly wrapped into a cocoon by them.
Hai Tingzhou couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he had to go back to find Sang Ying to discuss it, and then the two met unexpectedly.
"These things are numerous and light-loving. The slightest movement will be chased by them. If we can't kill them all in one go, I'm afraid we really won't be able to bring Fang Chi back." Although the three of them have not been together for a short time,
But after all, after experiencing so much, Hai Tingzhou had already regarded Fang Chi as one of his own, and naturally he didn't want to leave her behind.
The same goes for Sang Ying.
It’s just such a difficult thing, how to solve it?
After thinking for a moment, Sang Ying said: "I have an idea, but it is very risky. I am an ice spirit root, and I am also somewhat spiritual in the way of swordsmanship. I can use sword energy to freeze the entire tunnel. Maybe I can take advantage of those insects.
Before breaking through the ice, rescue Fang Chi and leave quickly."
This method requires Sang Ying to be able to use the sword moves like she did in Bailu City, and it also requires Hai Tingzhou to trust her enough and escape with Fang Chi in time.
If either party made a mistake, they might all be trapped and die in this tunnel.
After hearing what she said, Hai Tingzhou, who originally had a glimmer of hope, suddenly lowered his head: "Forget it, the insects here are definitely not limited to the place in front of you. Even if the place is frozen, it will not help."
Sang Ying asked strangely: "Why should I just freeze this place? Can't I just seal the entire tunnel?"
Although Hai Tingzhou had always felt that Sang Ying would become a great person in the future, after all, she only had the foundation-building cultivation level now. The young monk thought about the foundation-building sword cultivators he had seen before, and he even suspected that Sang Ying was there.
Bragging.
But recalling the young master Bai he knew in the fantasy, Hai Tingzhou inexplicably began to trust her again.
"If you believe me, then we will give it a try. If you don't believe me, we will find another way." Sang Ying said bluntly.
The face hidden in the darkness in front of him was childish, and it was obviously very different from the Young Master Bai in his memory, but Hai Tingzhou just felt that the person in front of him was the same Young Master Bai.
He scratched his hair and gritted his teeth: "I believe you!"
Hearing this, Sang Ying quietly raised the corner of her mouth.
The two quickly planned, even discussing how to cut the cocoon trapping Fang Chi, until everything was safe.
Sang Ying stood in front of Hai Tingzhou with her long sword.
"Just in time, I can take this opportunity to let you practice the move on the third level of swordsmanship, the move that blocks the sun and the sky!" Gu Shu smacked his lips in the sword, "Although your current cultivation level will definitely not be able to use that sword move 100%
It’s powerful, but 80% is no problem.”
Sang Ying, who mobilized her spiritual power, smiled slightly: "Then I will follow Master Gu Shu's instructions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his long sword.
Hai Tingzhou felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and then the entire tunnel seemed to be pulled into a world of ice and snow, wrapped in thick ice. Even the ground under his feet was not spared.
Hai Tingzhou, who struggled to pull his shoes out of the ice, looked at the cold world in front of him and rubbed his eyes fiercely.
Very good, confirmed, he is not dazzled.
Looking at the little girl under twenty years old in front of him, Hai Tingzhou clutched the lapel of his chest: He suddenly felt that he had really made an incredible friend.
The author has something to say:
Hai Tingzhou: It shouldn’t be too late for me to start hugging my thighs at this time, right... Maybe I started hugging them a long time ago?
