Upon hearing my words, the monkey strode out and shouted, "What the hell are you talking about? We're brothers, we'll die together!"
When I saw that Manjing and the others were about to run away, I immediately let go of the rope in my hand.
"Buzz!"
As the stone pillar fell, the water flow controlling the mechanism inside the mountain was blocked, and the two stone doors closed back at an extremely fast speed.
"Thump!"
After a muffled thud, we were completely separated.
Once this door is closed, it means that the people inside can never get out, and I can never get in either.
The mechanism of the Two Elements Stone is just like that. Although it is simple, one person must be sacrificed to operate the mechanism so that the others can leave.
I was the one who organized the team that entered the Miao Jiang Fairy Palace this time.
If it were Duan Jinyan, he would definitely push those around him out without hesitation in the face of danger, thus saving his own life.
Even Wei Shengnan, along with the Wei family members she brought, were specially trained for this purpose. Each of them possessed a spirit of sacrifice, and their role was to pave the way for the Wei family with their own lives.
But I am different.
Apart from Jiang Man, who is an investor, the rest of my team are brothers who have been through thick and thin with me for so long.
We weren't in a superior-subordinate relationship. They were willing to live and die with me, not because of any price offered or any agreement signed, but simply because of the brotherhood between us.
Since they were all brought here by me to do things for me, I absolutely cannot abandon them when I encounter danger.
Everything started because of me, and it should end because of me as well.
Ever since Duan Jinyan shot me, I've been burning with anger.
I can tell others it's endless anger, but I can't fool myself.
That's a feeling of frustration.
I hate Duan Jinyan, but he is, after all, my biological father.
Even though he never cared about me growing up, what child doesn't yearn for a father's love?
Although the shot he fired at me was unloaded, I could tell he really wanted to kill me.
At that moment, I felt like a child abandoned by the whole world, and I developed an extremely misanthropic mentality.
The biological father I had searched for with great difficulty, upon seeing me, did not utter a single word but instead chose to kill me.
My only relative in this world wants to kill me, while the monkeys and sparrows, who have no blood relation to me, want to live and die with me.
How ironic!
If you treat me with sincerity, I will repay you with sincerity.
Since someone has to stay outside today to provide a way for everyone to survive, I naturally feel obligated to do so.
"roar!"
The monster's roar pulled me back to reality. Hearing this mournful howl, I quickened my pace and ran deeper into the passage.
Jiang Man and her group were isolated in the passage. On their return journey, they only needed to be careful of the cold, impersonal mechanisms, which was much safer than facing these monsters.
If I stay outside, I can look for other passages. If I can shake off those monsters and find a new passage to hide in, there is still a glimmer of hope for my survival.
I had dealt with these monsters before, and all I knew was that they were incredibly strong, but I never expected that they could run so fast.
When I first started running, I was more than 20 meters away from them, but in less than half a minute, the closest monster was only five or six meters away from me.
While being relentlessly pursued by more than a dozen monsters, a platform about three meters high suddenly appeared in the road ahead of me. This platform was not man-made, but naturally formed.
To continue forward, we must climb up to the platform from here.
The stone wall on the side of the platform facing me was very smooth, with no footholds. There were a few large rocks ahead, but I had already used the rope on my body to open the Yin-Yang Stone, so I hadn't brought it with me in the rush.
There was no way forward, and pursuers were behind.
There is only one way out: death.
"roar!"
When the monsters behind me saw that I had stopped, they immediately surrounded me in a fan shape.
"Whoosh!"
I turned around and looked at the monsters with their eerie glow and wrinkled faces. Right hand gripped a gun, left hand a knife, and my eyes were bloodshot as I stared at them: "Come on! Come on!!"
"roar!"
The monster directly in front of me roared and lunged at me.
"Bang bang bang!"
I raised my pistol and fired repeatedly at it, but the bullets only slowed its movement and did not stop it.
"Gulp!"
As I fired my gun, another monster pounced from the side and knocked me to the ground.
"when!"
I was pinned down by the monster, and I slashed it on the head with my sword. Then it grabbed my arm.
This guy's hands were ice-cold. After grabbing my arm, he pressed his other hand against my chest and began to pull hard.
"Bang!"
I was being held down by the monster, and I could already hear the cracking of my joints.
After the monster pinned me down, it was clearly trying to tear my arm off. As it exerted its strength, I grabbed its arm with both hands and slammed my knee into its body.
Although this monster had extremely high bone density, it wasn't made of cast iron, and the dried skin and flesh had reduced its weight, so I easily ripped it off my body.
"roar!"
When the monster encountered my attack, it let out a roar, then grabbed my arm and threw me away.
"Bang!"
My body landed on the ground two meters away, and my head hit the ground as I fell, my vision blurred.
In a daze, I felt a monster pressing down on me. I tried to push it away, but my hands were already grabbed by the monster next to me.
These monsters are incredibly strong; I have no chance of winning against even one of them.
He was being held down by three monsters, and seven or eight others rushed over from the side.
An overwhelming force!
"roar!"
The monster on top of me held my body down and opened its mouth to bite my neck.
I observed it up close for the first time, bathed in its own light.
This monster looked like a dried-up corpse, with wrinkled skin on its face and a raisin-like, wrinkled tongue.
This mummified corpse, however, had eyes just like an ordinary person's.
The venom in those eyes sent chills down my spine.
I was relieved to see that the monster was biting my neck.
Although I am doomed to die, it is better than being torn apart by them bit by bit.
This monster can kill me in one go, sparing me from suffering.
"boom!"
Just as I was lost in thought, a burst of flames suddenly erupted beside me.
Immediately afterwards, a dark figure rushed out from the side and pounced on the monster that was pulling me down.
"Woo-hoo!"
After the dark figure pounced on the monster, it began to tear at it frantically.
It's a dog!
Miao Xiaoxian's Tibetan Mastiff!
