Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Gravity

There is a fierce wind in my ears and a deep abyss under my feet.

Jiang Xi looked up and saw a familiar face.

It’s him, he came to save himself!

In an instant, she suddenly wanted to cry.

The call was not in vain. Jingcheng knew that she was in a difficult situation, so he rushed over.

Just like that day.

The man who appeared at the entrance of Sunset Cave simply pushed away Wen Hai, who was lying on top of her and committing evil deeds, and used his supernatural powers to make the thug receive the punishment he deserved.

Moreover, from beginning to end, he never turned back to look at her.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jingcheng was her savior, who brought her back from the brink of heartbreak.

It is a god-like existence.

But the situation now is completely different from what it was then.

Even though his sudden appearance was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, due to the current situation,

He seems to be unable to protect himself...

Jingcheng grabbed her wrist with one hand, while his other hand was tightly clinging to the rocks mixed in the mud beneath him.

He wanted to use the mental cohesion he exerted on the rock to pull Jiang Ting up.

He has always been very strong, so strong that he could ignore Jiang Xi's weight.

But this is entirely based on a standard space with normal air pressure. As for the depths of the corpse cave which is in a state of drastic mutation, no one knows what kind of weird and distorted reactions beyond natural common sense are happening here.

The question Jingcheng asked Yuan Qing, the president of the Qingyuan Guild, was exactly the same as what he had guessed in his mind.

That’s right, the location of the Cangjie District in the base is in the same direction as the mutated corpse cave outside the base, and the distance is very close.

So, if the person from the Paradise Guild who dug the underground tunnel was not aware of this and only pursued the shortest linear distance between two points, it would not be completely impossible that he directly dug the tunnel near the corpse cave.

After the space cutting, the surrounding areas were directly cut and packed in. A six-sided cube, excluding the top surface, Jingcheng had to be cut at least 5 times.

One of the sides cut off Xue Huai's way to catch up, but the space had not yet rotated. When it was just cut, it was all piled up loose soil, so he felt that there was a dead end ahead and turned back.

The three people who were trapped in the cut-out corpse hole were spinning at high speed along with the corpse hole, completely unaware that they were in an unstable space. However, no matter how they moved forward, they could never reach the end.

Until the moment when the two spaces stopped before exchanging.

The two bandits from the Paradise Guild noticed something unusual on the dirt wall, went forward to check it out, and studied it carefully.

At the same time, their bodies just crossed the boundary of the corpse cave area where there was no loose soil blocking it.

Immediately afterwards, the two spaces transformed in an instant.

From that moment on, they were no longer in the same space as Jiang Xi.

The space they turned back to was the space where the tunnel exit cave had been replaced, and it was also the terminal.

There, they dug many branch roads to facilitate escape.

However, these are intermittent roads that have been cut in half, and none of them lead to the ground.

As for Jiang Qian, she was trapped in the corpse cave space. When she walked back, what she got was not the way home, but the corpse cave core that had expanded to the underground tunnel in a state of violent mutation.

With the worst thought in mind, Jingcheng risked his life to use space jump and moved into the space where the mutated corpse cave was located.

The fact is exactly the worst outcome, so desperate that it is suffocating.

The only thing he could feel lucky about was that he caught Jiang Xi a second before she fell into the abyss.

But……

I pulled it, but couldn't move it.

Even a psychic with powers beyond S-level mental power cannot compete with the power formed by nature.

Humans know very little about the mutated corpse caves. Caves like this one where there are no zombies but instead look like black holes in outer space are unheard of and do not seem like something that can exist on this planet.

While Jingcheng was pulling Jiang Qian upwards, there was also a huge force in the opposite direction, tearing her downwards frantically.

Therefore, Jingcheng could only use his remaining mental strength as much as possible to ensure that the narrow mud bridge that was left nearby and supported his body would not be sucked away by the huge force, while trying hard to pull Jiang Xi up.

Today, he finally experienced what it was like to play tug-of-war with the abyss.

His clothes were torn apart by the rapid expansion of the muscles in his arms, and the blue veins and blood vessels on the surface of his skin burst out one after another, almost bursting his newly grown flesh and rushing out.

Soon, several red threads followed the cracks in his arm's skin, moving across his arms like a dense spider web, making the grooves become thicker and thicker.

"Jingcheng..."

Jiang Ting murmured the name of the man who grabbed her. Although her vision was blurred by tears, she could see that his eyes were full of shocking red.

It was Jingcheng's flushed face and his arms that had turned red.

He was bleeding, and bright red blood was flowing all over his arm.

Jingcheng concentrated all the reverse pulling force on his own arm, so as to prevent Jiang Ting's slender wrist from being torn off.

Once a weak link appears, it will become a breakthrough point, constantly expanding and accumulating potential energy until it becomes irreversible.

The wound on his arm has not yet healed completely.

Her fingers were numb and her whole body was cold, just like Jiang Xi's heart at the moment.

She knew clearly that if Jingcheng could pull herself up... she would have been there long ago.

The empty gravity under his feet was still gradually increasing, and the broken mud bridge condensed by Jingcheng's mental power was faintly cracking.

I can't hold on any longer.

If this continues, not only will she be unable to be saved, but Jingcheng will also fall with her.

"Jingcheng." Jiang Qian repeated his name again, this time, her voice was calm.

Perhaps this is the calmness before facing death. She should have accepted her fate long ago, the moment when she stepped on empty air and everything around her was sucked away by the abyss.

She was already very happy that someone came to rescue her.

She didn't want to kill another life...

"Just let go."

Jiang Xi said softly.

She didn't want Jingcheng to die with her.

Since he can get in, there must be a way to get out.

While there is still time.

But Jingcheng pretended not to hear and continued to hold her hand tightly.

"It hurts so much..." Jiang Xi gasped, her face pale.

She didn't lie. Unlike the initial pulling force which was completely borne by Jingcheng alone, Jiang Qian also clearly felt the huge pulling force at this time.

It was as if countless hands were tearing at her skin in all directions, trying to tear her apart alive.

This shows that Jingcheng's mental strength is rapidly dissipating and he is about to give up.

It will be too late if you don’t let go.

Jiang Xi cried uncontrollably, "Let me go!"

He still didn't let go.

He could still tell which was more important, losing her life or making her feel pain.

He only held Jiang Xi's left hand, but Jiang Xi's right hand was able to move freely.

The mud bridge was too far away, and she couldn't reach the bottom of the bridge with her hand, but it was still quite easy for her to touch Jingcheng's hand.

She first pinched the back of Jingcheng's hand with her fingernails, very hard.

Jingcheng's hands seemed to have no feeling and did not respond no matter how she pinched them.

So Jiang Xi scratched the skin on the back of his hand with her fingertips.

Conscious again.

Very itchy.

"Don't be afraid!"

At this moment, Jingcheng finally couldn't help it and yelled at her.

Although the tone was clearly that of a shout, the voice that came out of it was mixed with fear and loss of composure.

"Believe me, I can save you!"

A crawling itch spread all over his arm.

The thin red snake of blood finally swam to his fingers, and flowed along the gap between his two clasped hands to his palm.

The sticky, slippery, bright red and hot liquid kept prying the loose connection, and all friction was lost.

The white little hand held in his palm was sliding down step by step.

"Hold on to me!"

Jingcheng's throat was choked with sobs. He couldn't grow another hand to exert force on Jiang Ting. "Please..."

His voice became trembling.

Jiang Xi's breathing stagnated.

She had never seen Jingcheng like this, a fragile and helpless Jingcheng.

In the past, he always looked calm and composed in front of her, as if nothing in this world could affect his mood.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit pretentious.

Even though he was almost burned to death by Lu Suye before, he never showed any cowardice.

And now, he was afraid.

He told Jiang Xi not to be afraid, but in fact, the one who was really afraid was himself.

He was really scared, afraid that he would never be able to hold on to Jiang Xi again, afraid that he would lose her.

If the conditions were not allowing it, he would really kneel down in front of her, begging her not to give up her life, begging her to believe in him again, and that nothing would happen.

That free hand no longer "makes trouble".

Jiang Qian closed her fingers one by one and grabbed Jing Cheng's wet and bleeding arm.

As if something was lost and then found again, the strong will to survive that emerged in Jingcheng's heart in the desperate situation gave rise to the last burst of mental power.

The gravity of the abyss also expanded to its limit at this moment.

The two forces are engaged in their final showdown.

In a trance, Jiang Qian suddenly felt that her feet seemed to be able to step on solid objects again, and the support from her feet prevented her from falling.

But now there seemed to be a stronger force coming from above her.

The place where she fell.

Her body moved uncontrollably, and her cheek hit a broad, hard chest.

Man can conquer nature.
