Chapter 84: Survival in the Cracks and Close Combat with Straight Men
Survival in the cracks and close combat with straight men
Li Jiuyou's violent demonic fire exploded at the narrow crack's entrance, temporarily blocking the pursuing black tentacles! The sticky, disgusting tentacles were burned, hissing sharply and dancing wildly, but they were unable to break through the scorching barrier!
"Go! Quick!" Li Jiuyou growled, and pushed the still dazed Jiang Xuelan deep into the crack. He fought and retreated, his red-gold eyes fixed on the entrance, and the demonic fire on the Jinsheng Knife never went out for a moment.
The crack was narrower and more winding than expected, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. It sloped downward, and the ground was slippery and uneven. Jiang Xuelan stumbled, subconsciously using his immortal energy to steady himself. The ice-blue ball of light illuminated the bottomless darkness ahead.
Ache, Mangu, Xingtong and Xuanjia also squeezed in, and the narrow space suddenly became crowded.
"King! Come in quickly!" Man Gu shouted anxiously, waving his bone stick to try to help Li Jiuyou expand his defense range.
"Oh my~ I'm being squeezed to death~" Xingtong complained. The tentacles under her skirt accidentally touched the rock wall and got covered with slippery moss, which made her pout in disgust.
Xuanjia simply retracted his head into the shell again and was held under Mangu's armpit.
Ache tried hard to hold up the Jianmu fragments, and the soft green light tried to dispel the coldness and uneasiness around him.
Li Jiuyou finally swept out a raging demonic fire to force back the most violent wave of attacks from the tentacles, then he suddenly pulled back and squeezed into the crack!
The moment he entered the crack, the black tentacles that had been temporarily repelled gathered together again, and drilled in like maggots on the tarsal bones, chasing and biting him tightly!
"They followed us in!" Ache screamed.
The crack is too narrow to move freely! It's even difficult to turn around and fight!
"Go down!" Jiang Xuelan made a prompt decision, and his voice echoed in the narrow space.
Everyone could only slide down desperately! The speed was getting faster and faster!
Li Jiuyou retreated to the end, sliding backward while swinging his sword backwards, using demonic fire to block the nearest tentacles. However, the space was too small, and the demonic fire inevitably burned the surrounding rock walls, stirring up clouds of gravel and dust, making him quite embarrassed.
There was a sharp turn below! Jiang Xuelan reacted extremely quickly, exhaling icy energy from his palms. He used the force to turn lightly and slid through the curve steadily.
A Che and Man Gu, who was holding the black armor and following behind him, were not so agile. They screamed and almost crashed into each other!
Xingtong even let out a cry, and her skirt fluttered wildly, almost tripping Jiang Xuelan who was in front!
In the chaos, Li Jiuyou, who was the last one to fall, happened to trip over a protruding rock, causing him to lose his balance! Behind him, the thickest black tentacle took the opportunity to stab at him, aiming straight at his back!
"Be careful!" Jiang Xuelan turned around suddenly and reached out to grab Li Jiuyou without thinking!
But he forgot that he was also standing on a slippery slope! This pull, not only did not hold Li Jiuyou, but was instead dragged down by the force of his fall!
The two of them instantly rolled into a ball, tumbling down the steep slope! In the narrow space, they had no control over their bodies and could only inevitably cling to each other tightly!
Li Jiuyou subconsciously pressed Jiang Xuelan's head into his arms, using his back to bear most of the impact and friction! The hard rock scraped across his already scarred back, causing bursts of stinging pain, but he didn't even groan, instead hugging her tighter!
Jiang Xuelan was strangled to the point of almost suffocating. His nose was filled with the scent of blood, the burning heat of demonic fire, and a hint of overbearing masculinity from Li Jiuyou. This unfamiliar and extremely aggressive aura caused his frozen heart to violently tremble! He tried to break free, but the dizziness and the other party's unquestionable protective posture made him lose consciousness for a moment!
The heat from the tightly pressed bodies, the pounding heartbeats, and the almost instinctive determination of the other person to protect himself, hit Jiang Xuelan's senses like a tide!
Ache, Mangu and Xingtong, who rolled down behind them, were all stunned when they saw this scene!
"Wang and Jiang Xianjun..." Man Gu opened his mouth wide.
"Wow~ You're hugging me so tight~" Xingtong whistled, and even at this critical moment of escaping, she didn't forget to watch the show.
Ah Che shouted worriedly, "Brother! Brother Li! Are you all right?"
Finally, the slope became a little gentler, and the two people's rolling speed slowed down, and finally they stopped on a slightly wider platform.
Li Jiuyou still held Jiang Xuelan tightly in his arms. Both of them had disheveled clothes, tangled hair, and their bodies were covered with dust and scratches. They were breathing rapidly, and their chests were heaving violently.
Jiang Xuelan was the first to come back to his senses. A rare flash of panic and embarrassment flashed across his icy blue eyes. He frantically tried to push Li Jiuyou away: "Let go!"
Li Jiuyou also suddenly let go as if he was burned, his red-gold eyes flickering, not daring to look at Jiang Xuelan, but his mouth remained tough: "Who wants to hold your ice cube! You're killing me!"
The empty feeling after the separation and the equally intense heartbeat of the other person made both of them feel inexplicably irritated and embarrassed.
