"System prompt, host, given your vila constitution, it is best not to join the battle." The judge said: "You will only disrupt the battle and have a negative impact on your allies."
The judge was absolutely right.
If I were to join the battle now, it would be like throwing a piece of meat into a wolf's den or pouring a handful of water into a frying pan. You can imagine the chaos that would be caused.
"Thank you, system. I understand what you said very well." Li Yuebai nodded without stopping: "Vila walked into the vampires, which would only cause chaos, and then he would be torn into pieces by the vampires who swarmed over him."
"Yes." The judge emphasized again: "And you are not carrying any weapons, and your physical condition is not optimistic."
Li Yuebai was now soaking wet from head to toe. His clothes were completely soaked by the water in the deep pool and wrapped tightly around his body, hindering his limbs from moving. The illusion he experienced in the Seven Stars Tower had exhausted him physically and mentally, and coupled with the battle with the tentacle creature just now...his body was on the verge of collapse. Every muscle was aching, and his joints felt like they were rusted. Every step he took was extremely difficult.
The only weapon he had left was the small knife in his hand.
Even so, Li Yuebai still held the knife and stumbled towards Ye Qing.
"Li Yuebai, don't come over." Ye Qing's voice rang out again.
It sounded tired, hoarse, and low, but Li Yuebai felt as if he was struck by thunder.
He had never heard Ye Qing speak in such a desperate tone.
"Xiao Ye, are you going to die?" - Li Yuebai asked subconsciously in voice, and the system dutifully converted the sentence into text mode.
"Um."
Such a light "hmm" made Li Yuebai feel cold all over and he couldn't stop shivering.
He looked over to Ye Qing's side, but because the distance was not close enough and there were too many ruins and trees, he couldn't see the situation.
"System, can you see what's going on with Ye Qing?"
"You can see a little bit. The image is being sent to you now. Please pay attention to receive it." The judge quickly sent a video-like image to Li Yuebai.
Li Yuebai saw a circle.
To be precise, it was a circle formed by vampires, about twenty vampires, wearing black robes and in various shapes. They formed a circular formation with a diameter of less than ten meters, holding various strange weapons, and aimed their bloodthirsty and cruel eyes at the person in the center of the circle.
It was Ye Qing. He was not panicking at all. He just stood there coldly. In his hand, he was holding a long gun. The gun was covered with sticky dark blood. There should be no bullets in the gun, but there was a bayonet shining with silver light on the tip of the gun - whichever direction the bayonet pointed, the vampires in that direction would show fear and avoid him as much as possible.
However, judging from the number of people and weapons alone, the vampires still had the upper hand - they held a variety of weapons in their hands - crossbows with pure silver arrows, sharp swords, guns... All of these weapons were pointed at the center, aimed at Ye Qing's heart.
This kind of confrontation actually achieved a strange balance.
Although the vampires outnumbered them, they were all afraid of the last bayonet on Ye Qing's gun. They knew very well that whoever dared to attack Ye Qing first would likely become the only and last vampire to be stabbed to death by Ye Qing.
Therefore, they hesitated, no one wanted to be the first to take action, and no one wanted to be the victim.
However, such a balance cannot be maintained for long.
Gao Chengyu's primary goal now is to kill Ye Qing. When he sees his men hesitating, he will certainly not sit idly by, but will immediately issue orders and promise more tempting rewards to stimulate them to act as soon as possible.
The moonlight shone down, illuminating all the weapons, emitting a bright light of death.
Then Li Yuebai saw Ye Qing frowning in the moonlight, looking very unhappy.
"Li Yuebai, why don't you leave? Don't come any closer." He said as if no one was around.
Every vampire is very sensitive to vila's breath. Ye Qing can feel it. Li Yuebai is getting closer and closer. Other vampires can also feel it a little bit, but because they have a mission to complete, they are not tempted for the time being.
"If I don't come over, you're going to die!" Li Yuebai was a little angry. It had come to this, but the kid was still holding on.
"It's the same if you come here." Ye Qing smiled and said, "Stop making trouble and get out of here quickly."
"It's different." Li Yuebai felt a nameless anger in his heart: "I said I would save you, and we will definitely win this game."
Ye Qing did not answer. Obviously, he still thought he would die. After all, there were dozens of weapons in front of him waiting to pierce his heart at any time. The hope of escape was very slim, almost zero.
Li Yuebai felt that he was getting even angrier.
After knowing Ye Qing for so many days, I finally got him to have some interest in this world, and finally established an alliance with him. I finally made him feel that winning this battle would be fun. But now, he actually gave up hope of living? And like the male protagonist in the movie, he let others run away?
How can this be possible?
Li Yuebai stopped walking and estimated the distance between himself and Ye Qing.
"Xiao Ye, you must do what I say next." Li Yuebai took a deep breath and said directly to Ye Qing: "That is - hold your breath."
"Hold your breath?" The judge was stunned: "Host, what do you mean by this?"
"Literally." Li Yuebai clenched the knife in his right hand and stabbed himself hard.
Blood gushed out immediately, fresh, warm, and sweet.
The air was originally filled with the faint smell of algae and dust, but now it was all covered by the strong smell of blood, which was floating everywhere and penetrating every pore.
This smell is a fatal temptation to vampires.
The originally unbreakable circle was immediately broken.
Those vampires who were originally pointing their weapons at Ye Qing were suddenly distracted for a moment and could hardly stand steadily. Some even dropped their weapons to the ground.
Soon, they uncontrollably abandoned the mission of killing Ye Qing and no longer confronted Ye Qing. Instead, they turned around and rushed towards the place where the smell of vila's blood was emitted.
The situation suddenly became chaotic.
A huge pain came over him, and Li Yuebai felt as if large patches of blood-red flowers were blooming in front of his eyes. The pain was too severe to be endured, and he didn't know how much effort it took to hold on and not faint.
He has always been a very careful person, always paying attention to protecting himself, and never doing anything brave or cruel. Even after traveling through time, he has not been seriously injured.
I never thought about it, and never believed that I would do such a thing - stabbing myself.
This time, there really is no choice.
Li Yuebai didn't bandage the wound as the blood flowed out. He just stepped back step by step.
"Xiao Ye...go quickly!" He sent this message to Ye Qing vaguely in pain.
At this time, Ye Qing must not be allowed to come and save him. Although Ye Qing has a strong endurance, it does not mean that he can bear to face the naked blood of Vila. Therefore, the wisest way is to let him go far away.
"Host, you are in extreme danger now." The judge prompted: "Do you really want to face it alone?"
"Yes." Li Yuebai gasped for breath, in so much pain that he could hardly see clearly what was in front of him: "Let Ye Qing get out of the way. I can handle what happens next."
"Handle?" The judge said, "You are dealing with more than twenty vampires with certain magical powers and fighting abilities, and you are injured."
"Don't worry." Li Yuebai squeezed out these two words from his throat and couldn't say anything else.
Because the vampire's cold breath is already within reach.
A hand with sharp nails reached out and fiercely grabbed Li Yuebai's neck.
Several vampires in black robes had followed the scent of vila's blood and found Li Yuebai. Moreover, they did not waste a single minute confronting him and rushed up directly.
If you look down from a God's perspective, this scene is like hell on earth.
Li Yuebai did not resist, nor did he have the strength to speak. He was pressed down by the vampires on the cold and muddy ground. Countless sharp teeth bit into his body, and countless sharp nails pierced into his skin. Blood was sucked out of his body continuously, and his originally smooth skin instantly became scarred and bloody.
Li Yuebai heard the sound of his neck being bitten, the sound of blood being sucked out of his veins bit by bit, and the sound of his arm bones being bitten to pieces.
It hurts a lot at first, but gradually you can no longer feel it.
When Li Yuebai fell into a semi-comatose state, the vampires began to kill each other.
There are too many vampires and only one vila, not enough to share.
Even comrades in the same camp cannot maintain peace in the face of such tempting drugs.
The first few vampires who pounced on Li Yuebai had been attacked from behind by their companions. One of them was even cut into pieces by a flash of knife light. The sticky black blood flowed down and splashed onto the ground, which was shocking to the eyes.
"Host, why did it become like this?" Even the Judge couldn't accept such a horrific fact, and his voice was full of shock: "If this continues, you... you will die soon."
So, why haven't I died yet? Why haven't I fallen into a complete coma yet? Isn't this torture enough?
Li Yuebai thought vaguely, and felt as if he was back in the deep pool of water, being dragged by the tentacle creature and sinking continuously.
Then he felt that the vampires seemed to have stopped moving and no longer biting and scratching his body.
A voice rang in my ears.
Fortunately, that was not Ye Qing's voice, but Gao Chengyu's voice.
"Gu Xisha, do you really want to die?" Gao Chengyu's voice was still so gentle and elegant: "In order to prevent me from getting a fresh vila body as an experimental subject, you are willing to destroy your own body and give up your own life. This is suicide. Only cowards would choose suicide."
"..." Li Yuebai used up all his strength and barely opened his eyes, and all he saw was bright red.
"But I won't even give you the right to commit suicide." Gao Chengyu smiled.
