39 Take Off Your Clothes to Avoid Poison
When the matter really came to a life-or-death situation, Hua Lang realized that he could not rely on the male protagonist's halo to save Xie Hanjing's life.
We can't wait here any longer!
Hua Lang helped Xie Hanjing up with great difficulty, held his sword, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
There should be a formation in Heshui leading to Luoshui Manor, and she must take Xie Hanjing to find it as soon as possible.
But after losing her spiritual energy, her perception of the formations became much weaker. Every time she passed a pool of water, Hua Lang had to stop and confirm it.
The Heshui Pool was thousands of meters deep, and Hua Lang was carrying Xie Hanjing, working so hard that she was sweating all over, but she still couldn't find the water formation to get back to.
At this rate, Xie Hanjing will definitely not be able to wait for the spiritual energy!
Hua Lang's aching legs had begun to go numb, as if they were about to go into remission at any moment, but she still didn't stop, forcing herself to walk across one pool of water after another, searching for traces of the water array...
"Let's go, I'll come out for a while... to bask in the sun..."
"...Push me... It's all your fault that you didn't get it done!"
The sound gradually became clearer.
The female voice said, "You blame me? If you hadn't come up with such a stupid idea as using demonic energy to trick the monks into entering the village, I wouldn't have been injured by them!"
The male voice said, "You only know how to scold me. Don't you think about it? The fox is about to die. If we don't trick some monks into coming here, how will the 'container' be enough?"
"If it's going to die, isn't it all your fault? You could have chosen anyone else, but that man from the Luo family!"
"How could I have known that that damn fox actually liked him? A monster without even a human form would actually commit suicide for love."
Hua Lang heard the voice and looked up. It was the young couple from Luoshui Village!
It was they who activated the formation that caused Xie Hanjing to fall into the water formation.
The young couple also saw Hua Lang at the same time. They looked at each other and ran away in an instant!
Unlike Hua Lang's wandering around, they did not hesitate at all when faced with the complicated forks in the road, and seemed to be very familiar with the place.
Ready-made navigation!
Hua Lang cheered herself up and wanted to catch up with the two men, but after only half an incense stick of time, she was completely exhausted and watched the two young men gradually disappear from her sight.
At this moment, the boy seemed to slip and fell into the pool with a "splash", splashing large amounts of water in an instant.
The girl lay on the edge of the pond, stretched out her hands, and cursed, "You are such a burden, and you dare to throw it like this? When we return to the village, I will never partner with you again!"
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle…”
Seeing that the man was unable to climb ashore for a long time, Hua Lang, who was exhausted and gasping for breath, barely recovered his strength and chased after the two of them again.
Although from Hua Lang's perspective, she was already chasing after the person at the fastest speed while trying her best not to tear Xie Hanjing's wound.
But to be fair, this speed is still extremely slow.
Fortunately, the two young men in front were extremely unlucky and fell as they walked, so Hua Lang was always far behind them.
The mountains on both sides gradually came closer, and the pool became wider, squeezing the path into a narrow strip. The fishy mountain breeze finally woke up the tired and drowsy Hua Lang.
She looked at the two people in front of her and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why do these two always slip and fall when they're about to disappear in front of me? Once or twice is an accident, but so many times...
Hua Lang slowly retreated. She was really dazzled by the bait. This was clearly a trap!
At this time, the disadvantage of being too slow was completely exposed. The two men noticed her clumsy movements and stopped immediately.
The girl tilted her head and said, "Ah, it seems I've been caught. Your idea is really stupid. No one will fall for it."
The boy argued, "If she wasn't so slow, I wouldn't have fallen so many times on purpose!"
He looked at the pools on both sides again and said to himself, "But I should be able to smell it here too."
After saying that, the young man simply cut his wrist, stretched out his arm, walked to the edge of the pond, and as if he didn't feel any pain at all, he watched indifferently as his blood splattered into the water.
The girl smiled innocently and said to Hua Lang, "If you want to run away, you can still escape in time by leaving the person behind."
The boy rolled his eyes. "Stop playing around. After we take care of these two 'containers', we have to hurry back and bury the other 'containers' in the Flower Temple."
Within a few words, the red water began to surge, as if some extremely large creature was awakening.
Do we really want to leave Xie Hanjing here?
This thought that suddenly appeared in his mind made Hua Lang break out in a cold sweat. This idea was more terrifying than the unknown monster in the pool.
Perhaps because she was too tired, Hua Lang's arms began to tremble. Just when the young couple thought she was going to escape alone, Hua Lang grabbed Xie Hanjing, turned around, and ran towards the side of the mountain.
"Don't waste your energy. Do you really think you can escape?"
As if fulfilling the young man's words, in the blink of an eye, a long dark shadow broke through the surface of the pool, and its figure almost covered the sky and the sun!
It lowered its head, revealing its cloudy, deathly white eyes, and its scaly nostrils twitched violently. When it smelled Hua Lang, without any warning, the magic dragon immediately swept its tail in anger, sweeping the two of them and the rolling stones and broken wood into the bottom of the pool.
Before losing consciousness, Hua Lang vaguely heard the two young men's exclamations and a hoarse, dark voice: "Murong Jun, I finally waited for you again. This time, can you survive..."
"Crack!"
Hua Lang kicked away the broken wood that was washed ashore and collected something usable from the pile of bones.
The top of the cave emitted a soft light from the dark green crystals stretching out into the distance, which prevented her from groping around in the cave at the bottom of the pool.
Xie Hanjing's sword fell somewhere unknown. Hua Lang picked around, trying to find a weapon. After a while, he was frustrated to find that there were only stones, tree bark and bones here.
Hua Lang walked back to Xie Hanjing empty-handed.
The water rose too fast.
Half of Xie Hanjing's body was already submerged in the water. Hua Lang reached out to pull him deeper into the cave, but just as he touched Xie Hanjing, a vague human voice rang out in Hua Lang's ears.
"Master, are we really going to come here?"
"……Who is speaking?!"
Hua Lang hugged the unconscious Xie Hanjing tightly and looked around in surprise.
One end of the cave was completely submerged in water, and the water level was slowly rising. Although the other end was a little unclear, there was indeed no one else within sight.
Under the dim green light, the atmosphere was inexplicably eerie.
Before she could continue her wild thoughts, a circle of transparent mist emanated from Xie Hanjing's body, outlining the vague outlines of two people.
A female voice rang out, "When we were mapping the Heshui terrain just now, didn't Jiaolong say there were treasures in this cave? If there are treasures, then I must come and take a look."
The man's voice seemed a little displeased, and he said stiffly, "How can you trust the words of a monster? If you encounter anything..."
The shadow of the woman suddenly approached the man and kissed him on the mouth, interrupting him directly in this way.
The female figure asked, "Ashu, are you jealous?"
The man's voice softened considerably as he explained muffledly, "This cave is a treasured site that the Jiaolong clan has guarded for hundreds of years, yet it was given to Master so easily. It's truly bizarre."
"What's so strange about that? I've saved them so many times, it's only natural that they should be grateful to me."
The male figure finally couldn't help himself and said excitedly, "Master, they are monsters. Why don't you just not kill them? Why are you saving them?"
The female figure was very confused by his reaction, "Why don't you listen to me? They are spirits, not monsters. I will never hurt them!"
After saying that, the woman walked angrily into the depths of the cave, and the man, feeling annoyed for a while, quickly followed her.
The two shadows disappeared one after another just after they left Xie Hanjing about ten feet away.
Does it look like an illusion built in a sand city?
Hua Lang seemed to be thinking about something. She leaned over to look at the injury on Xie Hanjing's back, and sure enough, there was some improvement.
Judging from the speed of recovery, it should be the effect of the Heavenly Fox bloodline.
The water level in the pond was still rising, so Hua Lang simply half-carried Xie Hanjing on his back and walked forward along the cave.
When the cave forked, two shadows appeared again.
The female figure stared at the ground, somewhat distressed. "Although there is abundant spiritual energy in this cave, there is no light at all. I almost stepped into a puddle just now."
The male figure's tone was still a little unnatural, but he still took the initiative to say, "Master, why don't you let this disciple carry you on his back?"
Afterwards, the two shadows overlapped and dissipated again.
Abundant spiritual energy?
It seems that this place was indeed a treasure land many years ago.
Hua Lang looked at the scattered bones on the ground and thought about what they said.
I just don't know what happened during this period. Now there is no trace of spiritual energy in this cave, and there are these green stones.
She looked up and saw that the green stones above her head were covered with round water droplets. The water in the cave was probably still rising.
Right now, the dragon is guarding the entrance. It is estimated that only when Xie Han wakes up can he contact Qinglai's people and get out of the cave.
After pondering for a moment, Hua Lang decided to follow the direction of the shadow and walk forward a little further.
Along the way, the female figure would suddenly kiss the male figure from time to time, and would keep calling him "good boy" and "good Ah Shu", and it seemed that the two of them had a very close relationship.
Although the male figure politely called him "Master", he did not show any intention of refusing.
What an open relationship, Hua Lang thought to himself.
When Hua Lang was about to stop and rest for a while after leaving the tide far behind,
Suddenly, two "tick-tick" sounds were heard in the quiet cave.
Finally, a few drops of emerald green water could not bear their own weight and dripped down from the top of the cave.
A single move affected the entire body, as if a switch had been turned on. The number of water droplets on the green stone suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye they were absorbed into round shapes and dripped from the top of the cave.
A drop of water brushed against Hua Lang's skin, making a "sizzle" sound and falling to the ground, emitting a wisp of green smoke.
Hua Lang felt pain, she glanced sideways and saw a festering wound on the back of her hand!
She raised her head and looked blankly at the dense green stones above her head. As her breathing became faster, the shaky water droplets became more and more!
Hua Lang's face turned pale, she finally realized -
This is not a drop of water at all, it is clearly frozen dragon poison!
The temperature in this cave has long been balanced. Once a living thing enters the cave, the temperature will change slightly, and the dragon poison will be melted by the temperature difference!
It’s too late!
Whether behind or in front of me, the dripping sound became more and more frequent, like a death sentence! !
The poisonous water poured down and instantly burned Hua Lang's body. The coal block jumped off Hua Lang's back, but did not hide in the dark. Instead, it looked back at Hua Lang anxiously and rushed forward.
Can't stay here anymore!
After being burned several times, Hua Lang dragged Xie Hanjing up and gritted his teeth to catch up with the coal.
In the dark green rain, an unlit dark area appeared in front of them. The coal block instantly jumped into the shadow, and Hua Lang ran towards the darkness as if he saw a savior.
It was a small depression in the cave wall, which just blocked the poisonous rain and was barely enough for the two of them to squeeze in and rest.
After checking his own injuries, Hua Lang hurried to see Xie Hanjing's condition.
The exposed half of his neck and the back of his hand were all covered with wounds of varying sizes from the poisonous rain, which looked particularly serious.
Hua Lang stretched out his hand, trying to push aside the clothes on his back, but as soon as he touched it, his fingertips were instantly burned by his rain-soaked coat.
Only then did Hua Lang realize that his body was also beginning to feel a tingling sensation.
Oh no, both of their clothes were soaked by the poisonous rain!
Without giving it any time to think, Hua Lang hurriedly tried to remove Xie Hanjing's clothes. When she reached the half-wet inner garment, she paused slightly.
If you take it off again, it will really be gone.
But if they don't take them off, the rain will soak through their clothes and will directly burn her and Xie Hanjing!
Looking at Xie Hanjing's still pale face under the dim green light.
Hua Lang gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and with trembling hands, he stripped off his inner clothes.
Then, Hua Lang immediately turned his head away as if to avoid suspicion and reached out to unbutton his coat.
Behind her, Xie Hanjing, who had been unconscious just now, trembled his eyelashes slightly.
