Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Aurora

Jiang Xi fell onto a soft yet hard object, and there was a strong binding force on her back, locking her tightly in a warm embrace.

The thing under her was now lying flat on its back, looking up at the sky above the deep cave.

"Jingcheng?"

Because of her cry, the scattered focus of the person under him was refocused. He looked at her without saying a word.

"Are you okay?"

Judging from their current mental state, Jiang Ying was obviously in better condition. Jing Cheng's condition was really not good. She was afraid that she would hurt him, so she immediately stood up.

"Are we okay?"

She looked around nervously and found that they were on a narrow mud and stone bridge. There was nothing on both sides except this platform cut out by the gravity of the abyss.

It was obvious that Jingcheng pulled her out from under the broken bridge.

She mustered up the courage to look down, and there was still a bottomless void below. However, when she reached out her hand, she did not feel the irresistible gravitational pull.

"Not smoking anymore?"

She got the answer from her own trials.

At this time, Jingcheng also sat up. Just now, he created an air barrier under Jiang Xi's feet, temporarily blocking the gravity of the abyss. He took this opportunity to pull her up in one go. However, this action also exhausted his remaining mental strength.

He has just come to his senses.

"Intermittent rest." He explained why the gravity of the abyss stopped.

Like many geological phenomena on this planet, volcanic or hot spring eruptions have a certain regular cycle. After erupting for a period of time, they will pause for a period of time.

As for how long it will stop, that is hard to say. It may stop forever, or it may only stop for a few minutes.

But one thing is certain, the next time the gravity of the abyss explodes, that will be the day they both die.

Jingcheng now not only has no mental strength to keep the mud and rock bridge beneath him from being sucked away, but also has no strength to fight the abyss again.

Even though he had not experienced such high-intensity space cutting and transfer that would cause high mental and physical loss before coming in, his space jump skill became ineffective the moment he came in.

The magnetic field inside the mutated corpse cave was quite strange, and he had no way of using more advanced skills in it, such as space jump.

In other words, this is a road with no way out.

He knew nothing about this when he came in, but if he knew, he would still make the same choice.

Jingcheng did not hide the truth from Jiang Xi because this was the cruel reality they had to face.

But what was beyond Jingcheng's expectation was that Jiang Ying did not cry out of fear like before, but instead calmly tore her long skirt.

She now finally understood why she had to wear this long skirt today.

She started tearing off the long skirt that reached her ankles from the bottom.

Then he tore the torn cloth into strips of thin cloth and tied them around Jingcheng's arms.

He was bleeding all the time.

The most important thing now is to stop the bleeding, regardless of whether they will survive in the future.

"Don't tear it anymore..." Seeing Jiang Xi's long skirt turned into a short skirt, Jing Cheng hurriedly stopped her.

"The arm is fine," he added anxiously.

Using the torn strips of cloth to make the best use of them, Jiang Qian directly wrapped Jingcheng's arm like a mummy, and tied a few bows at the end. At first glance, his arm looked like a row of small butterflies, ready to fly.

Jingcheng's arm stopped bleeding, and the last trace of blood was wrapped in the gauze made of her skirt.

Finally, I received effective medical treatment.

"Fool."

Jiang Xi scolded him, asking why he came.

"You are my sister."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jingcheng brought up their relationship again, the relationship that Jiang Ying deliberately fabricated.

Fake siblings, but true love emerges in times of crisis...

Jiang Xi looked at the man, wanting to say something but stopping herself, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

Maybe this is the last leg of their life journey, they should say something.

But they both tacitly agreed not to speak again.

However, people can control their mouths so that they don’t make any sound, but they cannot control their bodies.

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo——

A series of rumbling sounds rang out, which scared Jiang Qian directly. She looked around nervously.

Could it be that the intermittently erupting maw of the abyss is about to start "sucking in like a storm" again?

However, as long as she looked around, it was not difficult to find that the source of the sound came from there.

She listened carefully for a long time, stared for a long time, and finally confirmed,

So it was...

My brother's stomach was rumbling.

Being stared at by Jiang Xi with such eyes, Jing Cheng felt extremely embarrassed. Even if he covered his stomach tightly, he couldn't make it stop barking.

My stomach is not listening.

"Hungry?"

What is coming will eventually come. Jiang Qian was certainly not satisfied with the scrutiny. She moved closer to Jing Cheng and exposed this moment that would make the other person socially dead.

Come to think of it, after consuming so much mental and physical energy and losing so much blood, it would be strange if I wasn't hungry.

Knowing that he couldn't avoid it and that it was useless to avoid it, Jingcheng simply admitted it.

"Um."

But even if he admitted that he was hungry, what could he do? They were now trapped in this place without sunlight, basically waiting to die.

"Look!"

Suddenly, Jiang Qian opened her palm like a magic trick, and lying quietly in her open palm was a small round object.

Cookies?!

Jingcheng was shocked.

Jiang Xi took these cookies out of the pocket of her dress.

When she was captured by the two thugs from the Paradise Guild, she was packing the cooled baked cookies on the tray into boxes.

Being extremely nervous, I naturally grabbed a handful and put it in my pocket.

Jiang Xi sat closer to Jing Cheng.

She handed the cookie in her hand to Jingcheng's mouth.

"Ah——" (syllable)

It's time to start feeding again.

After eating a few, Jingcheng finally couldn't help but snatch the biscuit away when it touched his lips and was about to enter his mouth.

Holding it in your hand and observing it carefully, you can see that Jiang Ying made small cookies in the shape of animals, four-legged animals.

Jing Cheng's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Is it me?"

Everyone has learned to answer quickly.

"Yeah!" Jiang Qian nodded heavily, her eyes sparkling.

What a smart man.

"How beautiful!" Jingcheng put the biscuit into his mouth, his heart beating strongly. "These little wolves look a lot like me."

Jiang Xi likes to be a little wolf. No matter whether it is a wolf or not, it is different from last time. Two negatives equal a positive, so it is definitely the correct answer.

However, as soon as Jingcheng finished speaking, Jiang Qian, who was so smug a second ago, suddenly lost the smile on her face when she heard his words.

"It's a dog." She deadpanned.

Jingcheng: “…” Could this be a dog?

But this is not the crux of the matter. The crux is—

Almost as a reflex, he blurted out,

"He's a wolf and I'm a dog, right?"

The overwhelming smell of vinegar.

Jiang Xi paused: “…”

She looked a little innocent, angry at Jingcheng. Why was he angry?

After a long pause, she emphasized, "I like puppies."

Jingcheng: “0.0”

All the cookies were eaten. Jingcheng originally wanted to keep one as a souvenir, but when he thought about their current situation, it seemed that any souvenir would be meaningless.

It would be better to eat it. If I can recover my mental strength as soon as possible, there might be a chance of escape.

In the huge corpse cave, above the bottomless abyss, there is only such a narrow dirt bridge hanging.

The earthen bridge was shaky and looked like it would break at any moment.

The dirt and debris on the edge fell off and fell into the abyss without making any sound.

"Hold me."

Her courage gradually faded, and the fear in her heart rekindled. Jiang Qian reached out to Jingcheng.

So Jingcheng held her tightly in his arms, so tightly, wanting her to feel his presence.

If the two of them are ultimately unable to escape this disaster, then when the abyss becomes active again, it is better to have someone accompany them than to fall alone.

The aurora in the cave flickers and changes in an instant.

“So beautiful.”

Jiang Qian looked at these lights and admired them sincerely, although they now represented death and were jumping to bid them farewell.

In fact, she has always had a wish deep in her heart. She wants to go to the polar region and to the end of the world, but she never has the time and no one to go with her.

"I'll go with you."

Jingcheng hugged Jiang Xi tightly.

If there is a chance in the future...

"I'm a little sleepy."

Jiang Xi fell asleep in Jing Cheng's warm and broad arms.

Jingcheng just held her like this, even though it was inappropriate to think so, but at this moment, he suddenly felt very happy.

I have never felt such a strong sense of happiness before.

Perhaps, he had felt this feeling in the orphanage back then, when the Lu couple touched his head and told the director that they wanted to adopt him.

It’s just too far away, so far away that it seems like something from the last life, and I can’t remember it clearly.

Just like that, Jingcheng hugged Jiang Qian and slowly closed his eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a strong light like illuminating the darkness shone down from above my head, and then, what appeared in the background of the light was a human head.

Jingcheng stared at the cave entrance, judging the reality in front of him.

Until a green vine hung before his eyes, he reached out his hand and felt its real toughness.

He woke up the dazed Jiang Qian from her sleep, and quickly tied her body tightly with vines. After confirming that everything was correct, he asked the people above to pull her up.

The vine is Yuan Qing's special ability. It will not break, but it is also subject to limitations. His special ability cannot be used to automatically tie people up in the cave.

Moreover, the Qingyuan Guild's combat team only allowed one person to pass through the opening in this corpse cave, which had become a gall-bottle shape.

So, Jiang Qian was pulled up.

Next is Jingcheng.

As the vines fell, the mud bridge finally couldn't bear the weight and cracks began to appear inside.

Then, the entire bridge collapsed at once.

The dirt and gravel scattered in the air flew towards the abyss like moths to a flame.

It starts again...

However, at the critical moment, Jingcheng grabbed the vine.

Rest and food restored some of his mental strength, enough to sustain him and help him get through the most difficult and long journey of his life.

On the ground above, at the other end of the vines, dozens of psychics were struggling to pull Jingcheng up.

The moment he came up, the entrance to the cave was covered again, sealing the infinite gravity inside.

Saved!

After coming up, I saw that the entire Qingyuan Guild combat team was there.

Although the incident happened suddenly and Jingcheng left directly through space jump, his strange question still attracted Yuan Qing's attention. With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he suspended the follow-up work of the psychics in dealing with the mutated corpse cave, and instead found an opening on the ground that could lead to the corpse cave.

After shooting twenty of them in a row, he finally drove right above them and saved the brother and sister.

Mission accomplished! No one died in this battle, and everyone was happy. It was truly a miracle among miracles!

Moreover, this practice also shows that it is completely feasible to use supernatural powers to cut and transform space and deal with corpse caves close to the base. Their Qingyuan Guild has pioneered this feat!

Jingcheng was seriously injured and needed to be sent back to the base for treatment as soon as possible.

However, just when everyone was about to go home.

Bang bang bang!

Several loud noises exploded in the forest, one after another, as if bombs were dropped from the air.

Looking again, the sky was dark and it looked like it was going to rain.

The rain fell quickly, all solid rain, hitting down with a thud.

The shadows of these "raindrops" were reflected in the eyes of the psychics of the Qingyuan Guild's combat team.

Countless creatures, covered in pale white, with teeth bared and bloodshot eyes, all displaying a ferocious look...

This is an endless

——Zombie rain!
