Chapter 67: Saving an Familiar
This little sound made You Su a little excited, but it also made him nervous.
He held Ji Lingruo's hand and walked forward, and the two of them walked forward slowly with the lightest steps.
No one knows whether the people in front are friends or foes, and they must proceed with caution.
As the distance got closer, the sounds became clearer and clearer, and I could even hear clearly what they were saying, only to realize that the sounds were a bit dull, as if they were coming from through a wall:
"Liu Nengwu! Are you crazy! I want to take this back for everyone to eat together!"
"Huang Shi'an, don't pretend to be noble! I'm not crazy! Well... anyway... ...I can’t run away anyway, why should I be a starving ghost?”
Listening to the two voices, You Su felt somewhat familiar. They were both mortal elders with whom he was close friends.
There is indeed a wall at the end of this corridor, but judging from the volume of the sound, it is obvious that the wall is very thin and has been built for many years.
You Su couldn't help but be puzzled. Master said that the well was connected to the outside, so how could it be blocked?
"What if the evil spirit doesn't come after us and we survive? If you finish all the food, what can we do to save everyone when we go back!"
"Do you think it's possible? You can't even save yourself, how can you save us all?" Are you thinking about saving others?”
“Do you have any conscience! Everyone gave us all the food before sending us out so that we could have enough energy to eat! How dare you eat these life-saving foods! Spit it out!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, You Su heard the sound of the two of them fighting.
He also guessed something about the situation from the brief words of the two. It was probably that a group of people were hiding in one place. After the food was exhausted, he sent these two people out to collect food. As a result, they encountered the evil spirits. People were forced to flee here. Uncle Liu felt that there was no hope and did not want to starve to death. Uncle Huang opposed Uncle Liu's behavior.
It seems that not the end of all corridors is the Cave Heaven Blessed Land or the Inherited Forbidden Land.
Just as You Su was complaining, the two people on the other side of the wall suddenly stopped fighting.
"Did you...see it? That thing at the entrance of the cave..." Liu Nengwu's voice was trembling.
In the pitch-black cellar, a scorpion-like evil spirit with bright red fluorescence all over its body was standing and looking not far away. Its specific appearance was not clear because it was surrounded by an unknown mist.
“Well...”
"We are dead..." Liu Nengwu was slender. He hugged his arms full of food tightly and trembled all over. "Damn it, if I had known, I would have eaten two more bites just now..."
" Don't fucking eat it! Listen to me! It's just one. I'll lure it away. You must take the food back and save everyone! Do you hear me? After eating, I will never let you go!"
Huang Shi'an was strong and strong. He turned his head and squeezed Liu Nengwu's shoulders hard, his eyes full of determination.
"Old Huang, you..."
"Stop talking! The fog hasn't spread over so quickly, and it doesn't dare to come out. Don't move here, I'll go to the right , just wait for me to lure it away and then run away!"
Huang Shi'an let go of his hand and quietly touched the stone wall behind him and walked slowly to the right. He did not deliberately hide his steps. In the darkness, the evil eyes were like torches, so bright that it penetrated people.
It naturally saw the two of them, but it didn't make any move. It seemed that just as Huang Shi'an said, it was waiting for the new fog in the cellar to thicken.
But the next scene completely failed Huang Shi'an's plan. There was more than one scorpion-like evil spirit! Two identical evil spirits emerged from the dark tunnel one after another!
At this moment, the three evil spirits suddenly moved together, two rushed towards Huang Shi'an, and one rushed towards Liu Nengwu.
Huang Shi'an still refused to give up. He ran hard towards Liu Nengwu, trying to stop the evil spirit. He roared:
"Run! Run!"
In the darkness, the evil spirit that rushed towards Liu Nengwu had jumped up high, and the fluorescent light illuminated Liu Nengwu's frightened face. He had already collapsed to the ground, with no trace of blood on his face. There was a little blood, and her lips were still trembling.
Huang Shi'an is completely desperate. Their death here means that the old and weak women and children hiding with him will starve to death in the cellar. "No!"
"Bang"! A huge explosion suddenly sounded!
Several pieces of gravel fell over, forcing the evil spirit back, and a candlelight shone in from behind Liu Nengwu.
A handsome young man held a fairy sword and rushed towards the evil spirit in front of him with lightning speed, cutting it in half.
All this happened too fast. Before Huang Shi'an could recover, he found that the young man was already rushing toward him.
Seeing that the strength of the young man's sword was not diminishing, he understood it and threw himself directly to the ground. As expected, the young man swept the sword across and killed the two evil spirits behind him.
In the blink of an eye, all three evil spirits were killed.
"Uncle Huang, are you okay?"
Huang Shi'an took the hand offered by the young man, took a closer look, and was shocked to find that the young man was You Su.
"Save me..." Liu Nengwu, who was buried under the rubble, struggled.
You Su hurriedly walked over to help Liu Nengwu remove the stones. Although he suffered many wounds from the stones, it was better than becoming food for evil spirits.
"You Su!" Liu Nengwu guarded the food in his arms until his death. He raised his head with surprise in his eyes.
"Uncle Liu, it's me." You Su helped Liu Nengwu up again.
Uncle Huang also came over at this time. He had just survived the disaster, and his tone was trembling: "I really didn't expect that it was you who saved us."
"What do you mean? ?" Ji Lingruo suddenly asked in a cold voice.
Uncle Huang's face froze, and then he noticed the beautiful girl holding the candle, "This is..."
You Su quickly protected his junior sister behind him and said: " It’s my junior sister.”
Uncle Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his unintentional words had been misunderstood by the girl as contempt for You Su, so he explained:
"Don't blame me, little girl, it was my mistake. You Su, Uncle Huang thanked you. Your life-saving grace."
As he spoke, he bent down to salute. When Liu Nengwu saw this, he also wanted to salute. You Su quickly supported the two of them and said:
"There is no need for this, it is just a matter of effort. "
"Oh, but why are you here?" Huang Shi'an asked.
"Junior sister and I also hid, and accidentally heard your voices through the wall, so we broke through the wall and took action."
Huang Shi'an nodded, while Liu Nengwu rubbed the sore spots on his body. Said:
"You Su, you are really hiding your secrets. So many monks have died in the west of the city, and you can still hide with your junior sister for so long. It's amazing!"
You Su frowned. He was still hesitating whether to take action. After all, these two are elders who have taken care of him since childhood, but after Qi Daodong detects that his junior sister is possessed by evil spirits, he will inevitably inform everyone. If these two people tip off the news, there will be new troubles.
In the end, he chose to trust the two of them before taking action, but from Uncle Liu's words and attitude, it seemed that he didn't know about it? Moreover, many monks died in the west of the city, so what's going on?
