Chapter 227 Yun Chu, I'll Carry You Away
"You can try to fiddle with all these mechanisms. Our area is safe. When Jun Tianyi escaped, he activated the mechanism at the bottom. This one probably failed. He couldn't have left us a way out. He had seen the mechanism map and would have locked that passage."
Upon hearing this, Jun Li Luo tried to press the mechanism at the bottom, but the escape passage did not respond.
He tried fiddling with other mechanisms and soon closed the stone ball array and opened the stone door he came through.
"Chen Yue and the others should still be waiting for us behind the waterfall. Yun Chu, you sit down and rest first. I'll go and tell them something."
Jun Li Luo said this and walked quickly towards the secret passage.
Yun Chu was seriously injured and no longer had the strength to fly over the mountain stream, but fortunately he could still get through. He thought of getting some food and medicine to treat his internal injuries first, and then he just needed to fix iron bars at the entrances on both sides of the cave and tie ropes. In this way, Yun Chu could go back even without using his internal strength.
But what Jun Li Luo didn't expect was that after he walked for a distance, he actually encountered a solid iron wall.
He suddenly felt something was wrong.
When he and Yun Chu came here, there was only a fork in the road and no other obstacles. So this wall could only have been activated by Jun Tianyi.
He had just tried all the mechanisms behind the stone carvings. The range of those mechanisms was all within the cave, and Yun Chu might not know about the mechanisms outside the cave, after all, she had never seen a diagram of the mechanisms.
Jun Li Luo frowned and tried to use his internal force to hit the iron wall, but the result was naturally in vain.
He quickly returned to the cave and told Song Yunchu what he had seen.
"Iron wall?" Song Yunchu was also surprised, and then he stood up and wanted to go over to take a look.
Jun Liluo quickly supported her arm and said, "Your injury has not healed yet, walk slowly."
Although he used his internal energy to help her adjust the energy in her Dantian, the physical damage caused by the heavy blow from the stone ball could not be underestimated, as she did not have much physical strength left.
"In the original novel, Jun Tianyi only used the arrow array to kill the python. There were no more invaders after the python. If we hadn't broken in, he wouldn't even have used the stone ball array, let alone this iron wall blocking the way. He wanted to trap us to death here."
Song Yunchu came to the iron wall and tried to feel around the mountain wall.
"There is also a door behind the armory on the left side of the fork in the road. Going out is a vegetable field and a stream. There are also many wild fruits nearby. If there is no iron wall, we can at least solve the problem of food."
"This thief God is really too much..."
Song Yunchu explored fruitlessly and gritted his teeth. "It doesn't matter if the escape exit and the secret passage are blocked. We still have a way out. He was washed to the vicinity of the cave after falling off the cliff. That is the entrance he came from. If we go out from there, all we see are barren mountains and rivers. We have to cross a large area of wasteland."
As she spoke, she and Jun Liluo quickly walked back.
After they passed through the cave and turned two corners, they saw a wooden door. Jun Liluo walked forward and opened the door. A gust of cold mountain wind blew in their faces, making their cheeks hurt.
The river shimmers under the moonlight, and as far as the eye can see, there are vast and empty mountains and waters.
"This riverside is where he woke up." Song Yunchu looked at the darkness and desolation in front of him and curled his lips, "Oh my God, this is really interesting."
This was the only way they had left, and it was an unknown road.
It was already late, and it was unrealistic to cross the barren mountains in the dark. Not only was it impossible to find the direction, but the probability of encountering wild beasts was also high. All they could do now was to rest in the cave for a night and set off again at dawn.
Chen Yue and Bai Zhu must be extremely worried at this moment, and they will definitely have people search all over the mountains for her and Jun Li Luo. However, the barren mountain in front of them is no longer within the scope of Longlin Mountain, and it is unknown whether they will be lucky enough to find them.
The mountain wind gave people a headache. Jun Liluo closed the wooden door and returned to the cave with Song Yunchu.
Although the flowers and plants in the center of the cave could not help Song Yunchu heal his internal injuries, they were fortunately non-toxic, so Jun Liluo picked all of them.
This is the only thing I can eat right now.
He tasted the flowers and leaves separately. The petals tasted slightly sweet and were still swallowable, but the leaves tasted sour and astringent and were extremely unpalatable.
So he picked all the flowers and handed them to Song Yunchu.
"I've tasted the petals, and they're barely edible. Just eat them."
Song Yunchu looked at the bunch of petals in his hand and said, "You gave them all to me. What are you going to eat?"
"I'm not hungry, just a few leaves will do."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchu cursed, "You're crazy!" and then grabbed some flower petals for him. "You're such a picky eater, it's a miracle you can eat leaves. Eat some flowers instead, and don't talk nonsense to me. We have a long way to go when daybreak comes. If you faint from hunger, I won't take care of you."
Jun Li Luo felt warmed at heart when he heard that. Without saying anything more, he took the petals she handed over.
There is a small room at the corner of the cave, with a bed and a quilt inside. Since Taoist Jingyuan lives alone, he only has one quilt.
The conditions were difficult at the moment, so Song Yunchu naturally wouldn't be too fussy about details, and he slept under the same quilt with Jun Liluo.
Jun Liluo listened to her even breathing, moved closer to her, and then slowly closed his eyes.
At dawn, Jun Liluo was awakened by the cold.
He felt a chill on his back and when he opened his eyes he discovered that Song Yunchu had pushed the quilt under him and rolled him up in his sleep.
Jun Liluo was just about to tuck in the quilt for her when she opened her eyes and woke up.
"What time is it now? Is it daybreak?"
"I'll go out and take a look."
There was no sunlight in the house, so Jun Liluo could only go out to check the weather. When he saw light coming through the wooden door, he knew it was probably dawn.
When he walked behind the wooden door, he felt extremely cold, even colder than the first half of last night, which made him feel a little uneasy.
He opened the wooden door, and the oncoming snow and wind made his face change suddenly.
When it rains, it pours; this probably describes the predicament he and Yun Chu are in right now.
There were only three ways to leave, and it would have been bad enough that they were only left with the most difficult way, but it happened to snow and wind.
He took a deep breath, went back to the house and told Song Yunchu the news.
Song Yunchu looked pale, but he still made a decision, "We have to go even if it snows."
"Yes." Jun Liluo responded, "Let's go north and return to Longlin Mountain as soon as possible."
The other two routes were definitely a way out. Without food, they couldn't stay here, and they couldn't expect their men to find this place within a day or two.
After making the decision, the two opened the wooden door, came to the edge of the mountain wall, went down along the vines, and stepped onto the snow.
The two walked straight north.
"Yun Chu, I'll carry you on my back."
"No, save your energy first. We don't know how long the road ahead is."
After the two walked for a long time, Jun Liluo saw that Song Yunchu's lips had turned pale, so he stopped discussing with her, came to her, and carried her on his back.
