Chapter 87 Yue'er, do you like Brother Nanxing?
In silence, the two of them reached the end of the cave. Shangguan Nanxing touched the stone wall that blocked their way and his face darkened.
I originally thought this cave was accessible, but it turned out to be a dead end.
"Yuer, listen to me, those people are targeting me, you stay here and don't make any noise."
After Shangguan Nanxing said this, he wanted to let go of Su Yue's hand.
"No!" Su Yue felt that his tone was abnormal, so she grabbed Shangguan Nanxing with her backhand.
"Yuer, be obedient, otherwise none of us can escape."
Shangguan Nanxing whispered as the fire not far away became more and more obvious. Perhaps they just realized that their voices would be heard by the people inside, so the people outside stopped talking.
"Then don't run away." Su Yue retorted without even thinking.
Shangguan Nanxing chuckled at Su Yue's childish stubbornness. Was she caring about him?
"It's already this time, and you can still laugh?" Su Yue naturally heard Shangguan Nanxing's chuckle, with a hint of accusation in her tone.
"Okay, be good and listen to me. I'm going out and you stay here and don't move." Shangguan Nanxing couldn't break free from Su Yue's hand, so he touched her head with his left hand.
"I won't!" Su Yue panicked, even her tone was choked with sobs.
How could he sacrifice his life for her? It's not worth it.
Just as Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing were struggling, Su Yue was not careful and fell directly into the big pit on the left side behind him with Shangguan Nanxing.
The big pit was not far from the two of them, but because they were walking in the dark, neither of them noticed it.
Shangguan Nanxing reacted extremely quickly. The moment he fell in, he grabbed Su Yue's waist and hugged her directly. He turned his body with all his strength, used himself as a cushion, and fell heavily into the pit.
"Puff," as Su Yue hit him, Shangguan Nanxing vomited blood and fainted.
"Brother Nanxing?" Su Yue felt that the person under her was not moving, and was horrified. She followed her intuition and touched him, but the next moment, she felt a soft and cold touch, and it was not worth even one.
Su Yue was shocked. If it were the same as usual, she would have screamed.
Based on his intuition, Su Yue guessed that what he had just touched was probably a snake, and it was the dead of winter, so these snakes were hibernating.
If the temperature were a little higher, it would be a feast delivered to Shangguan Nanxing and I.
Thinking about the previous threats that there was no threat, I didn’t expect that there really was a snake cave on this mountain.
The two men who fell from above just now had already startled many sleeping snakes. Su Yue could even feel the snakes slowly waking up.
Without time to think, Su Yue grabbed the snakes and threw them into the pit. He threw about a dozen snakes before stopping.
Then they pulled the unconscious Shangguan Nanxing to the edge of the pit. Fortunately, there seemed to be a passage in the pit.
Just as Su Yue moved Shangguan Nanxing away, she heard a conversation between several people overhead.
"Oh my god, why are there snakes in the middle of winter?" One of them was obviously frightened and even screamed.
"No hope! Just a few snakes." Another rough male voice came, and then Su Yue heard the continuous sound of knives chopping.
"It's strange. It's already the end. Why is the person gone?"
"Sir, there is a big pit here." A voice came, very close to Su Yue and the others.
Afterwards, Su Yue saw a torch extending into the big pit, and Su Yue saw a horrifying scene that she would never forget in her life.
It was pitch black just now. Su Yue only knew that there were many snakes here, but she didn't expect there were so many. Wherever the torch illuminated, the snakes were entangled with each other, and there were too many to count.
The snakes that had been hibernating seemed to be waking up because of the warmth of the fire.
Su Yue widened her eyes and covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. The place where she and Shangguan Nanxing fell just now was actually the edge of the snake group. Fortunately, she didn't hit many snakes.
"Oh my god! This is a fucking snake cave!" There were more and more torches above, and Su Yue carefully moved Shangguan Nanxing behind him.
Although there was a passage behind her and she could even hear the sound of flowing water, at this moment, her foot injury had not healed and Shangguan Nanxing was unconscious, so she had no way of taking him away.
"Boss, could that person have fallen into the snake cave?" someone outside asked with a little uncertainty.
"Maybe." The man called the boss spoke after a long time.
"Then should we..." The person asking the questions felt his scalp tingling when he saw the snakes in the big pit. He couldn't even finish his questions. He would rather die than enter this snake cave.
"Throw down all the torches and we'll stay here." The boss apparently also noticed that because of the heat brought by the torches, the sleeping snakes began to wriggle unconsciously.
"Boss, you are wise! I will have my brothers throw all the torches down to wake up these snakes. Even if there is a person inside, these snakes will eat him till there is nothing left."
Su Yue secretly cried out in dismay at the sharp voice filled with excitement. With so many snakes, if they were really woken up, the consequences would be disastrous.
After patting Shangguan Nanxing's face and finding that he was still unconscious, Su Yue gritted her teeth, took out the elixir, chewed it out of the juice, and wanted to feed it to him mouth-to-mouth.
However, Shangguan Nanxing's teeth were clenched so tightly that he couldn't swallow the elixir.
There was no other way, Su Yue had to stretch out her index finger, pry open Shangguan Nanxing's mouth, and feed him all the elixir mouthful by mouthful.
Torches not far away were thrown down one after another. Many snakes had begun to wake up. Some of them had already discovered Su Yue and the others' location and were swimming towards them.
Su Yue could only use his right hand to feel Shangguan Nanxing's pulse and keep track of his physical condition at any time.
While in his left hand he had already taken out a hidden weapon, and pulled out a steel needle, which he quickly stabbed into the snakes that had already rushed over, and then pulled it out. The snakes immediately became stiff and lay motionless.
The anesthetic on this hidden weapon of mine can paralyze even an elephant, let alone a small snake.
But if all the snakes really wake up, my hidden weapon will be useless.
Just when Su Yue was extremely anxious, Shangguan Nanxing's fingers moved.
At this moment, Shangguan Nanxing felt that his body had never felt more comfortable than before, and even the feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath disappeared.
He took a deep breath and opened his eyes. What he saw was Su Yue with her back to him in the firelight, holding a steel needle in her hand. In front of her, more and more snakes were waking up.
Without saying anything, Shangguan Nanxing grabbed Su Yue and ran towards the passage behind him.
Shangguan Nanxing felt like he was reborn at this moment. The feeling of powerlessness he had always felt since his mother's womb was now gone. When he saw Su Yue limping due to a foot injury, he simply picked up Su Yue and carried her sideways.
Su Yue was shocked. She had always known that elixirs were powerful, but she didn't expect that they would be so effective even on adults.
Perhaps it was because the run was too bumpy, she unconsciously hugged Shangguan Nanxing's neck with both hands.
Shangguan Nanxing's eyes dimmed because of Su Yue's active approach, and the words that had been buried in his heart for two lifetimes came out just like that.
"Yuer, Brother Nanxing likes you. What about you? Do you like Brother Nanxing?" In the darkness, the man's gentle voice, hoarse from running, stunned Su Yue.
