The whole process lasted nearly a quarter of an hour.
The water rushed past, coming quickly and receding quickly, eventually leaving behind knee-deep mud.
Even though the two men were leaning against the stone wall, they were turned into mud men.
Xiao Li slowly loosened his palm, and the light of the night pearl emanated again. In front of him was Rong Qing's chest. He raised his head slightly and saw blood flowing from the corner of his lips. It was caused by biting too hard.
There was blood at the corner of his mouth, sweat all over his forehead, and the bulging blue veins had not completely disappeared.
Xiao Li didn't say anything, but reached out and hugged his waist tightly.
Rong Qing's stiff and stretched body trembled slightly, and then slowly relaxed after a while.
"Your Majesty...are you injured?"
Xiao Li shook his head and let go of his hand, but the next moment Rong Qing hugged him tightly.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"
"I failed to protect Your Majesty. At the moment when I almost gave up, I actually thought it would be nice to die with Your Majesty."
"I am guilty..." Blasphemy against Your Majesty and failure to provide adequate protection are unforgivable crimes.
He has sentenced himself to countless death sentences.
Rong Qing's voice was deep and mellow, very manly. It didn't sound like anything special on ordinary days, but now it was tinged with emotion, with a magnetic and hoarse tone that made people's hearts tremble.
But this is not the time to be sentimental.
Xiao Li didn't scold him, nor did he answer him: "Let's go."
Die here together? Absolutely impossible!
When Rong Qing heard the indifferent voice, his heart suddenly tightened. He also understood the feelings of Lou Yan and Song Junzhan.
He knew that he could not compare with them and that His Majesty did not have that kind of intention towards him.
But among all emotions, only love is beyond our control.
Once these words were spoken, it was like an arrow shot straight out of the line, with no turning back.
Life or death is entirely up to Your Majesty.
Rong Qing calmed down and reached out to Xiao Li again.
When he reached out his hand, he was extremely nervous, fearing that Xiao Li would refuse. Fortunately, she still put her hand in his palm.
Your Majesty's calmness and frankness made his thoughts seem even more unbearable.
He held the slender and delicate hand tightly and swore in his heart that even if he died, he would send His Majesty away.
Xiao Li didn't have as many thoughts as him. Now she was in such a mess, she had no thoughts at all and just wanted to leave this damn place.
After this round of water passed, a lot of mud and sand was left behind. The road was narrower than before and the silt was much deeper.
Xiao Li touched the wall and pointed the night pearl at the ceiling. Sure enough, he could see traces of erosion there as well. "If the quicksand was fixed, those bandits who were familiar with this desert wouldn't have chosen to ambush there."
"So this underground river is temporary. It will be completely blocked by sand and mud after a few more flushes. This time it has reached the calf. If it is that deep next time, it may be waist-high. If it is really that deep, we will never be able to get out."
The quickest way to get out is to go downstream, but the situation here is too complicated, with all kinds of sharp rocks and the water is so turbulent.
If people go downstream, they will definitely be cut into pieces.
However, even if the situation is urgent, it cannot be done quickly.
"Keep going."
I can only keep walking.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the water in this river is turbulent enough and there are no snake nests here. It should be said that no creature can withstand such a strong scour.
As they walked forward, they occasionally found poisonous snakes and lizards that were washed half to death, and even saw sliced human hands.
Fortunately, Rong Qing held on tightly, otherwise they would be the ones being sliced into pieces.
However, the road was too long, and I was hungry and exhausted.
Xiao Li was exhausted, his legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he was so tired that his whole body ached. He relied solely on willpower to keep walking.
If conditions permit, she would like to crawl on the ground.
There is no end to the passage, and no other light at all.
Clammy, cold, weak, hot all over, and shivering constantly.
Before he could leave this place, Xiao Li fell ill.
Rong Qing's own situation was not very good either. Not only did he have to explore the way, he also had to protect Xiao Li and make sure he walked on the easier path.
She stared at the front with full alertness, and by the time she realized that something was wrong with Xiao Li, she almost fainted from the fever.
"His Majesty!"
He quickly held the person in his arms, and when he felt the scorching heat, he was completely panicked.
"Your Majesty, wake up and hold on!"
Xiao Li slapped him on the cheek dizzily: "Don't shake me, I won't die!"
After hearing this, Rong Qing was worried at all, so he quickly picked her up and found a higher place.
He quickly looked for the medicine, and fortunately it was wrapped in oil paper and had not been soaked in water.
The Silver Armor Guards only brought life-saving medicines, and there was no medicine to treat minor illnesses like colds, but at this time, minor illnesses could only be treated with strong medicines.
"Your Majesty, take the medicine first."
Rong Qing held Xiao Li in his arms and coaxed her softly in a hoarse voice.
Xiao Li knew that he was in trouble, so he opened his mouth obediently. However, the pill was extremely bitter, and his throat was so dry from not having drunk water for a long time that it was smoking, so he couldn't swallow it at all.
Rong Qing had no choice but to find a stalactite that was dripping water, catch the water with his hands and feed it to her.
Not long after Xiao Li took the medicine, another wave of water came.
Because they were in a relatively high place, they were lucky this time and the water did not cause much harm to them, only getting their feet wet.
But the bad news is that the silt has increased again, making it impossible to step foot.
Xiao Li leaned on Rong Qing's shoulder and said calmly, "It seems you really have to die here with me."
"No!" Rong Qing firmly rejected his Majesty for the first time.
