The young boy shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice shrill and broken.
Shen Lie kept following his voice, raised his head and finally saw the light in his hand. He directly inserted the torch into the gap in the ground, climbed up with both hands, and headed in the direction he pointed.
Seeing the girl lying on the ground in the distance, her dark eyes tightened, and she ran as fast as she could.
The girl held the arrow in both hands, her thin figure sunk in the depression of the floor tiles.
Fortunately, the ground surface is tilted severely, but it is not yet vertical. Apart from the sudden gravity of the fall, the arm does not require much strength.
Shen Lie's chest rose and fell violently, and he supported her shoulders. However, her slender hands held on to the arrow tightly and refused to let go.
"Ali..." Shen Lie called very softly.
There was no reaction at all, only these hands were holding the arrow, trying their best in the dream.
Shen Lie frowned slightly and said, "I'm offended."
He leaned down and pushed her hand away forcefully.
The sharp pain in the palm of her hand made the girl frown slightly. In the darkness, she felt that her body was being held horizontally by someone, with a broad and warm chest.
I smell a refreshing fragrance under my nose, like plums, orchids, and duruos, complex but not strong, strange yet familiar.
She tried to open her eyes, but it was extremely difficult. After trying for a long time, she could only open a crack, but her vision was blurry, and she couldn't see anything in the darkness.
There were several earthquakes, each one more violent than the last.
Shen Lie hugged her with one arm and walked towards Zhili at a faster pace without stopping due to the earthquake.
Zhili choked with sobs and watched Shen Lie carrying Xia Zhaoyi up. He hurriedly leaned over and said, "Senior sister! Is my senior sister okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong and narrow empty arrow pot was handed to him.
Raised his head.
"Take it." Shen Lie said.
Zhili sobbed twice and stretched out his hand to hold the other end of the arrow pot; "Okay."
"Come up here and pay attention to the wound on your shoulder." Shen Lie said.
"Yeah." Zhili held the quiver of arrows and used his strength to jump up.
"Let's go." Shen Lie said, turned around and walked towards the way he came from, not stopping for a moment.
It's easy to go up, but slightly difficult to go down. Shen Lie should try to choose a flat place.
There were several strong winds, breaking the mountains and roaring, and the wind got stronger and stronger. Every time the wind blew up the dust, there was a huge sound of cracking bones coming from the southeast.
The earth trembled continuously, each time stronger than the last. Several more violent earthquakes made the entire ground completely vertical, as if an invisible giant hand was cutting through the chaos and lifting the ground like a mountain.
"It's going to collapse, it's going to collapse..." Zhili gritted his teeth and whispered, "Don't collapse, don't allow it to collapse..."
His shoulder was in great pain, and he tried hard to endure it and keep up with Shen Lie's pace.
"Don't collapse, don't collapse, I order you not to collapse, otherwise I will scold you every day, even if you become a ghost..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his feet shook violently. He slipped and almost didn't fall out, but was held steady by Shen Lie in time.
"Hurry up," Shen Lie said, "it's going to collapse."
Zhili trotted next to Shen Lie and turned around.
The burning torch was still in place, far away. The fire was extremely chaotic. In the unstable orange light, it seemed that the collapse was not the pillar under the basement in the south or the pool in the southeast. Instead, the ground was a mountain. The heavy-laden middle back is slowly collapsing.
Zhili quickly retracted his gaze and looked at the high platform in front of him.
"It's close, it's close, we're close, we'll be fine! Rush, rush, rush... one-two-one, one-two-one..." He gasped and said with difficulty.
Seeing that they were still ten feet away, the road ahead was flat, but they heard a sound of shaking behind them, and the ground finally broke completely. A huge abyss opened its mouth, and mountains and rocks were opened from it. Dust rose up, and the wind in the mountain stream echoed and roared. In the Netherworld, tens of thousands of rubbles that had lost their momentum from high places rolled straight down the cliff.
"Rush!" Zhili shouted loudly, speeding up.
The ground beneath his feet was sinking rapidly, and sand and dust surged from the sky, blocking the small oil ball lamp in his hand, and his sight was completely lost.
The connection between the fractured northern earth and the east and west banks was already torn apart, and the remaining connections were quickly severed, and the entire ground quickly fell into the abyss.
"Ahhhhh!!" Zhili Kuang shouted, "I'll fight you!!"
As he shouted, his body lightened up, his feet lifted off the ground, and he was grabbed away.
Shen Lie held Xia Zhaoyi in his arms, and while running wildly, he suddenly grabbed the clothes on Zhili's back, kicked his long legs hard on the falling ground, and jumped up to the high platform with all his strength.
There was a loud bang, and the broken earth crashed down, getting stuck under the cliffs on the east and west sides.
Shen Lie fell to the ground sideways, his arms numb with pain, but he still held the girl in his arms, protecting her with all his heart.
Zhili fell not far away from him, got up from the ground, and his head went blank.
"It's not broken yet!" He raised the small oil ball lamp in his hand and said, "It's not broken yet!"
"Senior sister!" Thinking of Xia Zhaoyi, he strode over, "Senior sister!"
Shen Lie helped Xia Zhaoyi sit up and put his hand on her forehead, which was so hot.
Zhili also reached out to touch it, feeling distressed and about to cry again, "This can boil water."
"I'm still alive..." Xia Zhaoyi said very softly.
"Senior sister!?" Zhili said happily, "Senior sister?"
He looked at Shen Lie, "Did Senior Sister speak just now? What did she say?!"
Shen Lie supported Xia Zhaoyi with one hand, still panting, and shook his head after hearing this.
Zhili didn't understand what he meant by shaking his head. He looked at Xia Zhaoyi and said, "Senior sister, can you hear me?"
The unconscious girl moved her lips, but made no more sound.
"Sister..."
Shen Lie stood up at this time, took off the long sword from his back, and handed it to Zhi Li, "Hold it for me."
Then, he knelt down, picked up Xia Zhaoyi on his back, and said, "It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. Let's go first."
Zhili held his long sword, raised his hand to touch the cold scabbard, paused, and looked back at the empty abyss behind him.
There is a high platform over there. When he came, he saw a figure in a long-sleeved robe running up to the high platform.
Now, the open space next to the waterhole, and the entire high platform, have all fallen.
"I have lingering fears," Zhili said, turning around to follow Shen Lie, who was already ten steps away, "I thought I was going to die."
"No." Shen Lie replied softly.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Shen," Zhili trotted forward and said, "Zhili will definitely repay the kindness of sacrificing his life to save me in the future."
"No need." Shen Lie said.
"Yes, thank you Mr. Shen." Zhili said again.
Shen Lie said no more.
Zhili turned around and looked behind him again, reborn after the disaster, grinned, smiled, his nose was sore, and he wanted to cry again.
He sniffed, raised his head and looked at Shen Lie again, and said, "Where is my master."
"In the darkroom." Shen Lie said.
"Is there a darkroom?" Zhili was surprised.
"Um."
"There is actually a dark room..." Zhili raised his head, looked around, and said, "This place is so scary and full of murderous intent. Wait, I suddenly remembered, how are we going to go back? We will definitely not be able to get to the water pool. , I don’t know what happened to my senior sister and second brother.”
When Shen Lie heard this, his steps stopped slightly, and a hint of loneliness appeared on his handsome face.
