Chapter 122
Not only was the temperature extremely high, but it also had a powerful magnetic field, which prevented her from even activating the Black Blood Jade Bracelet. She couldn't enter the space, otherwise it would have been much easier for Lan Huoer to carry Cang Ran.
"Aiya——" Lan Huo'er's voice was a little hoarse, "Master, I really can't fly the bird anymore. It flapped its wings and seemed to be falling."
"Yunyun, you are holding me too tight. I can't breathe. I'm almost suffocating." Cangran said dying.
Xia Lingjun felt sorry for Cangran and quickly let go. Cangran took the opportunity to use all his strength to break through Xia Lingjun's elemental shield and fell backwards, "Yunjun, don't save me anymore."
"Cang Ran—" Xia Lingjun screamed, leaning forward and holding Cang Ran's hand tightly, "Don't let go of my hand, or I will die with you."
"Yunyun, you must live. Only by living can there be hope." Cangran struggled to break free from Xia Lingjun's hand. Xia Lingjun felt his hand slip and become empty. He watched Cangran's body falling rapidly.
"No--" Xia Lingjun yelled and jumped directly off the bird, destructively activating the elemental power in her body. She rushed straight down and caught up with Cangran at super speed. She held his hand. His hands were covered with blisters. When she held her hand, the blisters burst and pus wet her hand.
"Aiya——" Lan Huo'er dropped his head. He would never let his master die. His big claws successfully grabbed Xia Lingjun. Then the bird, the man, and the woman were deadlocked in the canyon flames. In a blink of an eye, they would all die and be melted into a pot of meat porridge.
At the critical moment, Xia Lingjun felt a tightening around her waist, as if a rope was wrapped around her. Her consciousness began to blur, but the remaining consciousness told her not to let go, she must not let go, because Cangran and Lan Huoer were on her left and right hands. She held Lan Huoer's big claws tightly, and a powerful pulling force pulled her away from the lava. It only took one second. If it was one more second, none of them would have survived.
When the three of them were dragged ashore, except for Xia Lingjun who still looked good, Cangran and Lan Huoer had been burned beyond recognition. Lan Huoer's feathers were all burnt, and the bird meat even gave off the aroma of roasted chicken, while Cangran was roasted into a ball, and the evil man could no longer be evil.
Xia Lingjun exhausted all of her eighth-level elemental power to avoid being disfigured, but she didn't suffer any harm either. She was exhausted and powerless, and she kept muttering, "Cang Ran..."
"Xia girl, you are so silly." Yun Lieyu touched her cheek tremblingly. Di Rong walked over slowly. Apart from hearing a few words of the woman's shouting, he didn't even see the shadow of the woman. Now, when he saw her for the first time, his heart couldn't help but lift. He saw her: her eyes were lightly closed, her cheeks were flushed, there was a little sweat on the bridge of her nose, and her little mouth was slightly open. What a beautiful picture, it really made him unable to control himself for a moment. It turned out that there really was such a beautiful girl in this world.
"Hmm..." Xia Lingjun felt a surge of clear water flowing through her body. The burning sensation in her throat was much better and she gradually regained consciousness. The ninth level, third stage was indeed powerful. Just a light touch could bring such an effect. She was anxious and opened her eyes. There was a bird and a man lying beside them. They were neither bird nor man.
"Xia girl, are you awake?" Yun Lieyu's heart was filled with excitement. This was his first intimate contact with Xia girl. When his hand touched her face, his heart trembled. Is it her? It was the one who had always been hidden in his heart. Unfortunately, she didn't recognize him at all. Or maybe she wasn't her, but just a similar one.
"Who are you? The Zombie King?" Xia Lingjun moved her body. She was lying in Yun Lieyu's arms. She was dazed for a moment. At first, she thought it was Cang Ran, but after looking again, she realized that it was completely wrong. However, the only person who could look so much like Cang Ran was probably the legendary Zombie King Yun Lieyu. She stared at him fearlessly, "You saved me?"
Yun Lieyu nodded, but he was actually confused. Logically speaking, Xia had just gone through the ordeal of lava and exhausted her elemental energy, but why did he still feel that she possessed a powerful ability that he could not detect? It was too unbelievable. He reached out and touched her forehead, saying lightly, "It's not hot anymore. You should feel much better now, right?"
Xia Lingjun turned to look at Cangran, tears welling in her eyes. She struggled hard, her hands trembling as she hugged Cangran. Seeing his white, exposed knuckles, she suddenly leaned over and vomited blood on him. The bright red blood splattered on Cangran's burnt body, exuding a strange charm. She called out his name softly, her heart in agony uncontrollably. Her lips opened and closed, and two words uttered through her teeth: "Cangran."
He is lifeless.
Suddenly, she looked at Yun Lieyu with hope, "You can save him, right?"
Yun Lieyu's eyes were filled with coldness. "Xia girl, I won't save him. He's too badly injured. The lava has burned his internal organs."
Di Rong smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "Woman, don't dream. If Yun Lieyu could save him, he wouldn't have stepped on Yun Cangran's body and let him fall to the bottom."
Xia Lingjun was filled with resentment and gnashed his teeth as he asked, "What do you want in exchange for saving him?"
Yun Lieyu said in a deep voice: "I will never save him no matter what."
"Okay--" Xia Lingjun's eyes turned red, she lowered her head and hugged Cangran directly. She wanted to save him herself. Her elemental power had recovered a lot, but of course this was thanks to Yun Lieyu. She didn't expect that he would have such amazing energy that he could help her repair herself in an instant without any effort. A force condensed at her fingertips, and suddenly someone held her hand.
"Woman, you have just recovered. If you forcibly activate the elemental power, you will not only fail to save Cangran, but also harm yourself." Di Rong squatted down and looked at her with burning eyes.
"Who are you?" Xia Lingjun stared at Di Rong suspiciously.
Di Rong said calmly, "Werewolf King Di Rong."
"Why are you stopping me? Are you willing to help me save him?" Hope rekindled in Xia Lingjun's eyes.
"Yes!" Di Rong nodded, "But you must let me take him back. The environment here is not suitable for helping people with repairs."
"Di Rong, do you want to tear up the agreement?" Yun Lieyu said coldly.
"Yun Lieyu, I, Di Rong, have always kept my promises. I will take Yun Cangran back and you take the woman away. This was our original agreement." Di Rong said.
"No! Why should you decide whether I stay or go?" Xia Lingjun retorted.
Di Rong smiled, patted Xia Lingjun's shoulder, pointed at Cang Ran and said, "Just because you want to save Cang Ran."
"How can I trust you?" Xia Lingjun asked again.
"Woman, you have no choice. Believe or not is just a bet. You can not believe me, but he has no time to wait." Di Rong said.
"Xia girl, let's go! If you still want to waste time here, I guess even if Di Rong is willing to save Shi Cangran, he won't be able to wait." Yun Lieyu said coldly.
"Damn!" Xia Lingjun gritted her teeth. Damn it! She really didn't have a choice now! If she rescued Cangran herself, there would likely be two deaths. Because she had only just recovered, the elemental power in her body was far from enough to help someone so seriously injured recover. But why did she want to go with the Zombie King? If she wanted to leave, she should follow the Werewolf King. She wanted to stay by Cangran's side. She pointed at Di Rong and said, "I want to go with you."
Di Rong felt a surge of joy in his heart. Damn! He wanted the woman to go back to Yun with him so badly, but in the current situation, he couldn't take her with him. In terms of ability, he was inferior to Yun Lieyu. Moreover, he wanted to use Yun Lieyu to destroy the ape tribe so that he could dominate the world as soon as possible. Women were precious, but the world was also precious. He agreed to save Cang Ran because he wanted both the country and the woman. With Cang Ran in his hands, he was not afraid that the woman would not submit one day. Moreover, Cang Ran had the supernatural crystal he wanted. He needed the right time, the right time.
"No!" Yun Lieyu shouted coldly, "Xia girl, you must come with me."
"I'll follow whoever saves Cangran." Xia Lingjun planned to take a gamble.
"Xia girl, you must know that if you want to save Cangran, you must use one thing to control another. He is being burned inside by the magma, so we must use extremely cold ice to dissolve the magma in his body. This extremely cold ice is made from rock ice collected from the bottom of the Ice and Fire Valley during the coldest time of the year. This Ice and Fire Valley is located in the Shadow Empire, so the Shadow Empire naturally owns the extremely cold ice. If you don't want Di Rong to take Cangran back, you can still wait, but you have to wait for a year. Do you think you still have time?" Yun Lieyu said slowly.
Xia Lingjun was completely bewildered. Damn it! The implication was that to save Cangran, they had to obtain the extremely cold ice at the bottom of the valley, and Di Rong happened to have this ice, so she had no choice but to hand Cangran over to Di Rong. She looked up at Di Rong and asked, "Why? Are you afraid of him, so you don't dare let me go with you?"
Di Rong chuckled faintly, "Woman, no one is afraid of anyone else. It's the mutual interests between him and me that determine whether you stay or go. Alright! No more words. If you agree, I'll take him away immediately."
Xia Lingjun finally nodded. Damn... If she wanted to go with the Zombie King, then she could go with him. He couldn't do anything to her anyway. After Cangran was rescued, she could go wherever she wanted. Things had their priorities, and she couldn't waste any more time. She looked at Lan Huoer beside her. Lan Huoer still had the strength to flap its wings, but she didn't know if its body would be burned by the bird like Cangran. She reached out to Lan Huoer's body and felt relieved. Fortunately, Lan Huoer's internal organs were all fine, and he only suffered superficial injuries. He just needed to enter the space to repair himself. She handed Cangran to Di Rong, took Lan Huoer and followed Yun Lieyu to the Zombie Palace.
