Chapter 144 You Die for Her
There were too many familiar people in the training camp, but now, their eyes were all white and their movements were mechanical. They had no awareness of death. They were being manipulated and using their bodies as weapons to try to stop Jiang He.
"Ba Ba." In the dense crowd, Jiang He heard someone calling her anxiously.
Her mental power spread in all directions and found the source of the sound.
It's a gray mouse.
"Ba Ba." Although the other party's eyes were also white, he did not lose his mind. He was pushed by the crowd and almost fell to the ground several times. Seeing that Jiang He noticed him, he grinned happily at Jiang He.
Jiang He's tentacles pushed aside the crowd and she walked over to Gray Rat. "Gray Rat, how are you okay?"
"I'm always sober." Gray Rat grabbed Jiang He's sleeve and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the abyss. I have a path that no one else knows."
Caihe came closer, "Heh, who knows if you're lying to us? You look like you can definitely find your way."
Judging from the tone, it seems that it is not Qian Baobao, but Caihe.
Gray Mouse wasn't angry at being questioned. He said to Jiang He, "I'm not seeing with my eyes. I won't lie to you."
The gray rat's eyes were white, making his expression look dull. Jiang He said, "I believe you."
Anyway, the current situation couldn't get any worse. Since she had made the decision, even if she was deceived, she was willing to bear the consequences.
Jiang He turned and called to Xiao Sen, "Captain Xiao, this way."
After Gray Rat led the three of them for a while, Jiang He keenly discovered that the people around them were very weak.
Their behavior is more sluggish and not at all agile, and their attacks cannot be performed at the highest level.
How could the gray rat know that these people were "weak".
And it was in such a dense crowd of people.
Jiang He turned his head and looked at Xiao Sen beside him.
Xiao Sen asked her, "Do you need a hug?"
Jiang He shook his head, "It's healed now."
In fact, she was not cured, but after passing the "high wall", she learned to use tentacles instead of legs to support her body. Every time her legs felt numb, the tentacles would immediately support her body, and the cooperation was extremely tacit.
Xiao Sen glanced at her two tentacles supporting the ground, but did not expose her.
The gray rat's fighting ability was not very good, but because of his appearance, those people thought he was one of their own kind. No one attacked him, but they had to be careful not to let his small body be pushed down or stepped on.
"Baba, you've been away for so long this time. I'm counting the days until you come back."
Jiang He: "Has there been any unusual activity in the mining area recently?"
"No?" Gray Rat thought for a moment. "It's been a while since we've seen any powerful Aberrations appear. Even Level 1 Aberrations and above are rare at the bottom of the mine. Everyone who goes to the mine is looking for crystal cores to improve their abilities. Lately, with no Aberrations, everyone's been complaining."
There are so many aberrations at the bottom of the mine, and now not even a level one aberration appears, which is quite abnormal in itself.
Jiang He: "How do you know I'm going to the abyss?"
The gray mouse seemed not to hear and continued to lead the way quickly.
Thanks to Gray Rat's guidance and the help of their friends, the three of them were almost unharmed while being surrounded by the crowd and soon arrived at an abandoned mining area.
They were much faster than the prisoners in the training camp and now left those people far behind.
The gray rat drove away the distorted thorns in front, and the abandoned mine entrance appeared before everyone.
"Earthquakes often occur in mining areas, and mine tunnels occasionally shift due to earthquakes. This tunnel was originally underground, but an earthquake a long, long time ago moved it here." Gray Rat turned and said to Jiang He, "This tunnel is very steep and leads directly to the forbidden area in the inner layer, not far from the abyss. If you go this way, you can avoid many attacks from the aberrations."
Caihe, "Heh, why should I trust you?"
One of Jiang He's tentacle entered the mine. It was pitch black inside and his mental power could not detect the surroundings, but it was indeed very steep.
"My Queen," Little A, who hadn't spoken in a long time, whispered to Jiang He, "Are you sure you want to go down here? I sense danger, a destructive threat."
Jiang He asked it in his mind, "Why do you say that?"
Little A's voice was a bit bewildered. "My Queen, I don't know why I have such thoughts. It's like a human's inexplicable sixth sense. Without any data to support it, I have a hunch that if you enter this cave, both you and I will die."
Jiang He: "What's the death rate?"
"Your Majesty, based on this strong hunch, unsupported by data, I believe the mortality rate is as high as 90%."
Jiang He's voice didn't contain any frustration. She sighed softly and said, "A ten percent chance is enough."
The success rate doesn't need to be too high, just a one percent chance is enough. Now it's as high as ten percent, and Jiang He is becoming more and more confident.
She interrupted the quarrel between the gray rat and the colorful crane and said, "I'll go first."
Caihe thought that Jiang He's tentacles had already explored the mine tunnel, so he said that, and he no longer questioned the gray mouse.
Gray Mouse didn't care at all about Caihe's aggressiveness. He said to Jiang He, "Baba, I've been here before. I'll go in first."
Jiang He's decision would not change. She turned to Xiao Sen and said, "I'll be in the front, and you'll cover the rear. Is that okay?"
Place the weakest gray mouse and colorful crane in the middle.
Xiao Sen nodded, "Okay."
The mine is not big. You can lie down with your arms around your chest and slide down the steep mine. You must control your speed and not hit yourself against the wall or catch fire due to friction.
After listening to the precautions from the gray rat, Jiang He slid into the mine first with his arms folded over his chest, followed closely by the gray rat, and Caihe followed behind the gray rat.
The wall of the cave was too steep, and when Jiang He slid down, his body fell straight down like a cannonball.
When encountering a turn, I pushed with my feet to slow down, but even so, it was still a very powerful sharp turn.
After sliding down for a long time, Jiang He heard a "whoosh whoosh" sound.
The sound was strange, not like the sound of a distorted object, but Jiang He couldn't figure out what it was. She asked everyone, "Did you hear any sound?"
Gray Mouse: "I heard the sound of my butt being rubbed."
Caihe tilted his head to listen, then said to Jiang He, "It's a mourning bird."
The Weeping Bird is very rare in the mines, and almost no one has ever encountered it, because everyone who has encountered the Weeping Bird has died.
There are very few birds in the mine, but the mourning bird is an exception. It is said that this creature can travel between yin and yang and send people to the underworld in an instant, that is, eat them.
No matter how powerful a person is, he or she will be taken away by it if they encounter it.
Gray Mouse asked Caihe in surprise, "A mourning bird? This thing is almost like the god of death. How do you know about mourning birds?"
"I am of the bird attribute." Caihe said, "After my transformation, my mind contains information about all bird-attributed distortions."
It's like the awakening of blood and the inheritance of heritage memories, but if you tell others about this kind of thing, people will laugh their heads off. It's too ridiculous and no one will believe it.
Gray Mouse, "Your bird attributes are truly magical."
Cai He ignored his compliment. At this moment, the real issue was more pressing. He said to Jiang He, "The mourning bird is still a little far away from us, but it's very fast and can change its shape, growing or shrinking. If you encounter one, you must avoid contact. If you do, it will pierce you and you'll die."
It can penetrate a person's body, and even if it's just a small, non-fatal hole, it can cause instant death.
Jiang He: "What's its weakness?"
Gray Mouse: "The mourning bird has no weaknesses."
Caihe's lips moved, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Jiang He: "How can we kill it?"
The gray mouse sighed, "It can't be killed. Its body can become ethereal, so we can only hide. But the mourning bird loves beauty and cleanliness. We are covered in dirt, so it may not be interested in us."
Caihe: "You know a lot about mourning birds."
Gray Mouse, "I love collecting all kinds of gossip. My former roommate was also one of you bird-types. I heard him mention..."
Jiang He interrupted him, "We're almost at the end. There are a few big turns, be careful."
Caihe reminded: "Although the cry of the mourning bird has disappeared, it is still possible that it is lurking in search of prey."
Jiang He is at the front, and if she encounters a mourning bird, she will be its first target.
"Okay." As Jiang He finished speaking, three tentacles appeared, controlling the body to turn several large bends in a row and fall to the ground.
A bird not even as big as a palm flew towards Jiang He.
Although the body of the mourning bird is small, its wings are very large. When it flaps its wings, they are like two long swords stabbing across.
The meteor pot appeared in an instant, but failed to stop the mourning bird.
The opponent's body became ethereal and passed through the meteor pot from outer space and headed straight for Jiang He.
Jiang He has many tentacles and dodges very quickly, but the space around him is too small, and he will be chased by the mourning bird again before he can react.
The three Gray Rat also fell out of the mine. Gray Rat had no special skills and was the most embarrassed when he rolled down. Caihe and Xiaosen were much better off. After they landed, they immediately looked at the Weeping Bird that was chasing Jiang He.
Although three more people appeared, the mourning bird seemed to be invisible and only chased Jiang He.
This made Jiang He feel relieved. After all, the space was so small, and four people hiding could not be as agile as her alone.
"Baba, here's a knife. Try to chop off different parts of its wings." The gray rat threw a bone dagger towards Jiang He and emphasized, "Don't touch it."
Jiang He took the bone knife he threw to him and cut at the wings of the mourning bird.
Every time he found an opportunity to approach the mourning bird from behind, he would shake his wrist and the knife would move so fast that only an afterimage could be seen.
She chopped off every part of the mourning bird's wings, but still failed to hurt it at all.
When the knife cut through, it felt like it was cutting through the air.
How could there be such a strange and deformed bird?
Jiang He's heartbeat was soaring as it was chased by it, but she was still looking for opportunities, attacking from time to time. If she couldn't cut off the wings, she would sneak attack the opponent's head and body.
The mourning bird cried out in anger, its gray eyes fixed on Jiang He.
Caihe clenched her fists nervously, turned her head, and saw Xiaosen with his hands folded over his chest and his head slightly lowered, as if he was in a trance.
Thinking about how Jiang He had always taken care of this guy like he was his own, and now that Jiang He was in danger, this guy didn't look worried at all, Cai He immediately looked at him with great disdain, "Where's your black sword? Let Xiao Jiang see if he can chop off the mourning bird's head."
Xiao Sen raised his eyes upon hearing this and squinted at him coldly, "Are you worried about her?"
The tone was extremely sarcastic.
Cai He's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. "Xiao Jiang treats you so well, don't tell me you're not worried about her."
Xiao Sen stared at him, his voice soft and cold, "Since you are so worried, then die for her."
