Chapter 20 Entering Danger Again
Xiao Chujing protected Ye Xiaoman's head, rolled to the side, and escaped from the battlefield.
The human-faced spider roared to the sky.
It has a dull IQ and didn't see Ye Xiaoman eating its eggs, but now the Bat Man crushed its cubs in front of it.
This is too much.
It went completely berserk and chased Batman madly.
Even a Jindan cultivator could not withstand its power, let alone the Bat Man who was in the Qi Refining stage.
Soon, Batman was covered in wounds, with injuries adding to the damage.
Just as he was about to flee in a panic, Xiao Chujing suddenly attacked.
With a full-strength blow, the Batman was knocked towards the face of the Human-Faced Spider.
The man-faced spider's chelicerae pierced the bat man's body, and before the bat man could even scream, he was dead.
The human-faced spider finally stopped and enjoyed its blood meal.
Xiao Chujing made a quick decision, "Everyone, now is the time to run separately."
The monks had the same idea. In an instant, several figures disappeared in all directions.
The human-faced spider was in the mood for killing, so it would naturally not let go of the person in front of it.
It threw away the half-eaten blood meal and stubbornly chased after Ye Xiaoman and Xiao Chu.
Don't be fooled by its bulky body, its long legs make it run very fast. Xiao Chujing ran wildly on the sword, pushing his cultivation to the extreme, and was almost caught by the spider silk on the back several times.
Ye Xiaoman was led by Xiao Chujing to run. At first, he held her wrist, but later Xiao Chujing felt that the running was too slow, so he directly carried Ye Xiaoman on his back.
Xiao Chujing ran even slower because he was carrying a burden with her.
If he left her behind, there might still be a chance of survival. Otherwise, when his power was exhausted, both of them would surely die at the hands of the beast.
Ye Xiaoman understood the situation clearly, but she would never say something like, "Don't worry about me, I'll run away by myself."
What a joke! Without the protagonist's halo, the cannon fodder will die.
Even if she died, she would drag Xiao Chujing with her.
As a talker, she almost shouted at the top of her lungs, "Come on, Senior Brother Xiao, you can do it!"
When Xiao Chujing heard this, it had another meaning: Junior Sister trusts me wholeheartedly, how can I give up if she hasn't given up!
Ye Xiaoman didn't know what was going on. Seeing that Xiao Chujing was at the end of his strength, he suddenly started to work at full speed as if he had taken a power pill.
As expected of the male lead, he has great physical strength.
Xiao Chujing carried Ye Xiaoman on his back and ran to a dead end.
In front of him was the approaching human-faced spider.
Behind him is a thousand-foot waterfall.
The white mist surges like the Yellow River water coming from the sky.
"Junior sister, hold on to me."
Xiao Chujing gritted his teeth and jumped off the waterfall with Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman: No, brother, this height can really kill people—
Ye Xiaoman fell heavily into the river, as if she had hit a hard concrete floor. She was thrown around by the waterfall for several times, and her internal organs seemed to be turned over by an invisible giant hand.
She rolled her eyes, spat out blood, and fainted.
When Ye Xiaoman woke up again, she was by the river.
His clothes were half wet, and he was lying on a crude mat woven with cattails. Xiao Chujing was sitting on one side, roasting fish on a simple earthen stove built with stones.
Looking at the sun, it was already noon the next day.
Xiao Chujing was very happy to see Ye Xiaoman finally wake up from her coma.
"It's okay."
Ye Xiaoman carefully discerned his smile. Xiao Chujing seemed to have a good personality, but he often wore a fake smile that did not reach his eyes. She could tell from the shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth that he was in a very good mood.
He used a small lotus leaf to scoop up clean water from the river.
He crushed the pill and dissolved it in water. He carefully helped Ye Xiaoman up, let her lean on him, and fed her the healing medicine.
Ye Xiaoman's body was originally burning with pain, but after drinking the potion, the pain disappeared, her spirits were greatly lifted, and she immediately became lively again.
On the contrary, Xiao Chujing was seriously injured when he used himself as a cushion to protect Ye Xiaoman while jumping off the waterfall. After resting, his face was still pale.
He told Ye Xiaoman: "We were swept from upstream to downstream by the river. I guess we have been brought to the core area of the secret realm."
The low-level robes Ye Xiaoman wore did not have the function of automatically drying clothes, so Xiao Chujing lit a bonfire for her to dry her clothes.
He turned away consciously.
Ye Xiaoman tidied herself up and sat down by the fire where Xiao Chujing was cooking.
She realized that after two days of extreme survival, both of them were in poor condition and their robes were in tatters.
Xiao Chujing's double-breasted Hanfu was loosely open, revealing his cold, white, and delicate collarbone, and his chest muscles were faintly visible.
Ye Xiaoman almost drooled and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Xiao Chujing uncomfortably straightened his clothes, looking very reserved and virtuous.
The end of her high ponytail fell in front of her right shoulder, and her handsome face was slightly flushed.
Although according to the original novel, the male protagonist has countless romances later on, uses all kinds of tricks when playing games, and plays more extravagantly than anyone else, the innocence of the big boy when he is still innocent at this moment is still very pleasing to the eye.
"Junior Sister, I'm sorry."
He was a gentleman, his eyes lowered, not falling on the holes in Ye Xiaoman's skirt and sleeves.
Ye Xiaoman didn't care. She sat beside him, her stomach growling with hunger. She looked at the meal he was making and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Grilled fish, mushroom and vegetable soup, and I picked some wild fruits. Eat them first to fill your stomach."
"good."
In her two lives, Ye Xiaoman only knew how to live off women and never knew how to cook.
At home, Sikong Qing cooks; in the wild, Xiao Chujing is the chef.
He wouldn't chop firewood on his own initiative, nor would he wash the bowls. He would just sit there paralyzed, waiting for people to put food into his mouth.
Xiao Chujing's cooking skills are quite good. Ye Xiaoman ate happily, then stretched out her limbs and lay dead on the tattered mat.
Xiao Chujing flew high into the sky on his sword to survey the surrounding terrain.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoman also climbed up a big tree in a doggy style position to overlook the other mountains.
The mountains were strange and jagged, and two hundred meters away from them, there was a huge valley sunken into the ground.
Ye Xiaoman's cultivation was limited and her eyesight was poor, so she only vaguely felt that it was an ancient relic.
Bushes grew thickly, weeds grew thickly, and countless ruins collapsed. Time had passed, and who knows how many secrets were buried there.
Xiao Chujing's heart skipped a beat: "Let's go on an adventure."
Ye Xiaoman had the same idea.
This kind of large ruins can usually unearth many treasures.
After going through so much hardship along the way, it would be unreasonable not to make a fortune.
Ye Xiaoman followed Xiao Chujing and charged forward with great vigor and confidence.
The bottom of the valley was hundreds of meters above the ground. As usual, Xiao Chujing flew his sword and brought Ye Xiaoman down.
As soon as she stood firm, Ye Xiaoman felt disappointed.
The bottom of the valley had obviously experienced a great battle. The surface was bumpy and covered with traces of magical weapons. The overall look was like it had experienced an earthquake, a bombing, and finally been baked by a fire for three days and three nights.
All the vegetation was burnt to death, not to mention any treasures that survived.
Along the way, you can see the corpses of monks in various states of death. The closer you get to the center of the valley, the denser the corpses appear.
Only then did Ye Xiaoman realize that this area was eerily quiet.
There was not a single bird flying in the sky, and the monsters that were everywhere in the secret realm were extinct here, as if the clever animals were instinctively avoiding dangerous places.
It feels like just getting out of the dragon's den and entering the tiger's den.
