Sure enough, the shackled man was Nie Ying's younger brother.
"you know me?"
Li Nanke asked.
The first time the two met was under such circumstances, which was beyond his expectation.
"Master Li, my sister mentioned you to me."
The man was concerned about his sister's safety, and his scarred handsome face was full of eagerness, "She said you would definitely come to save her. Please go and save her quickly, she is in danger now!"
"Where is she?"
Li Nanke asked in a deep voice.
"It's in the sacrificial chamber, but you have to be careful, there's a red rain monster inside."
"Where is the sacrificial chamber?"
The man said with a pale face: "Enter from the right door and keep going forward. There will be several forked roads. The first forked road goes from the left, the second one from..."
"You lead the way!"
Li Nanke was too lazy to waste time and cut off the iron chain connecting the shackles on the man's feet with a knife.
"I can't leave."
The man has a bitter look on his face.
Seeing that the other person's right leg was bloody and bloody, and obviously unable to walk normally, he put his shoulder on his shoulder and supported him, "Just show me the way."
"good."
The man nodded quickly.
The two entered the iron door on the right and saw a dim passage in front of them, surrounded by red vines that resembled spider webs and were densely covered in vertical and horizontal directions.
The smell of blood was mixed with a smell similar to rancid eggs.
Li Nanke held the handle of the knife tightly with one hand, supported Nie Ying's younger brother with the other, and walked forward slowly.
The footsteps of the two people were extremely clear.
The torches hanging on both sides flickered on and off.
There is a haze flowing in the air.
Finally, under the guidance of Nie Ying's brother, the two passed through several forked roads and arrived at the cave where Nie Ying was trapped.
There are still vines crisscrossing the cave.
There was a faint red light inside.
Li Nanke used a knife to push aside the vines blocking the way and entered the cave. A warmth that was similar to entering a greenhouse immediately spread throughout his body, but it was very uncomfortable.
"That is……"
After looking around, Li Nanke's gaze suddenly fixed on an ice sculpture in the corner.
It's said to be an ice sculpture, but it's actually a woman wrapped in ice.
The woman is Nie Ying!
On top of the ice, there are monsters similar to snails crawling, biting the ice with their sharp teeth.
The ice covering the woman's body is gradually cracking.
"sister!"
The young man looked excited.
Seeing this strange scene, Li Nanke instantly understood that Nie Ying used the power of the Red Rain Heart Fruit to freeze herself in the ice in order to protect herself.
"You wait outside."
Li Nanke helped the man outside the cave, then rushed up and knocked down several little snail monsters on the ice.
"Nie Ying!"
Li Nanke knocked on the ice and tried to wake up the woman.
The next moment, cracks appeared in the ice. Then there was a "bang" and the ice broke into pieces.
Nie Ying opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Li Nanke.
Before the man could speak happily, Nie Ying grabbed his arm with her cold, slender fingers and rushed towards the entrance of the cave. Her jade was filled with panic and eagerness, "Quickly go!"
Unfortunately, it was a step too late after all.
A monster that looked like a mutated cockroach suddenly appeared in front of him.
Its body is covered with white spots.
Among the spots are eyes.
Li Nanke took a breath of air, protected Nie Ying behind him, stared at the two-meter-tall cockroach monster, and ordered: "Stand still!"
The monster didn't move at all.
The dense eyeballs shone with a dark cold light.
"Don't go there!"
Seeing that the man was about to step forward, Nie Ying quickly held him back.
Li Nanke patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, I can solve it easily."
Li Nanke raised his knife and came to the monster.
Whoosh!
The sword's light is brilliant and the energy is surging.
However, the imagined blood did not splash out.
The knife that was supposed to fall on the monster's head was firmly grasped by a black claw.
Click!
The blade of the knife was broken into pieces.
Li Nanke looked at the monster who destroyed his sword in disbelief. Before he could recover, his body flew out like a kite with a broken string and hit the wall heavily.
"Li Nanke!"
Nie Ying ran to check on the man.
"Ahem..."
Li Nanke felt that his internal organs were about to shift. He forced himself to swallow the blood that was about to pour out of his throat, and looked at the monster with a puzzled look on his face.
Why doesn't "command" work on it?
Does it only work on people?
"Sister, go quickly!"
A shout suddenly rang out.
Nie Ying turned around and saw that her younger brother was desperately hugging one of the monster's legs to prevent it from blocking the entrance to the cave.
But then, the monster picked him up like a chicken.
"Ah Heng!"
Nie Ying's pretty face changed, and she rushed forward with a lunge. The Emei thorn in her sleeve slipped out of her hand and stabbed the monster.
At this moment, her Hongyu ability was exhausted and she could no longer use the Heart Fruit ability.
You can only fight hard.
puff!
The Emei thorn successfully penetrated into the monster's head.
But this scar did not cause much harm to the monster. The angry monster threw away the young man in his hand, then grabbed Nie Ying's neck and lifted her up.
"Quick...go..."
Nie Ying suppressed her blush and signaled to her younger brother who was left at the entrance of the cave to take this opportunity to leave.
The young man was obedient and crawled out of the cave.
But the monster did not continue to attack Nie Ying. Instead, it raised its arm and threw her out of the cave.
This "good intention to release people" operation made Li Nanke and Nie Ying confused.
"Sister, are you okay?"
The man came to Nie Ying limping and expressed concern.
"It's okay, just stay aside and protect yourself."
The woman stood up and was about to continue dealing with the monster to rescue Li Nanke when she suddenly heard Li Nanke shouting: "Watch what's behind you!"
Behind you?
Nie Ying was startled.
Before he could react, he suddenly felt a stinging pain on the back of his neck, like being pricked by a needle.
Immediately, her consciousness became blurred, and countless double images appeared in front of her eyes.
thump!
Nie Ying, who was completely weak, fell to the ground.
The pain from the back of her head hitting the ground made her regain consciousness a little.
But she saw her brother holding a silver needle in his hand and smiling at her.
His smile is like a devil's and sends chills down your spine.
"Why……"
Nie Ying's lips twitched and her eyes were full of confusion.
The man did not answer, but snapped his fingers.
The monster once again blocked the entrance of the cave, blocking Li Nanke's view of him and preventing him from performing the "command".
"I have to say that Mr. Li came in time."
The man smiled and said to Li Nanke in the cave, "If I let my sister waste any more, my plan will be shelved. Fortunately, you came to save her in time, so my sister was willing to walk out of that broken ice."
"
"Aren't you Nie Ming's brother?"
Li Nanke tried to find the figure of the other party, but the tall monster blocked the entrance of the cave and could not be seen at all.
His "command" ability requires seeing the other party first.
"No, I am indeed her biological brother. My name is Yuan Heng."
The man smiled and said, "We separated when we were just one month old."
"Then you still harmed your sister? You must have tricked her into entering this cave deliberately."
Li Nanke was thinking hard about how to deal with the enemy.
Fortunately, I had been careful just now and let Helan Xiaoxiao stay outside.
