The night is dark and silent, the road is long and dark.
"Gugu——"
Long Mingye walked with Chu Ran on his back for a long time. It wasn't until a cooing sound came from behind that he came back to his senses.
"I'm hungry."
Meeting Long Mingye's shining eyes, Churan said calmly.
Long Mingye put down Chu Ran and warned, "Sit here and don't move, I will go find something to eat."
"Together."
Churan shrugged. She had noticed along the way that there were no living creatures here at all. It would take a lot of effort for Long Mingye to find food. She really doubted whether he, a prince, could do it. In his previous life,
She followed the person who taught her martial arts and had been in the wild, so she still knew how to survive.
Long Mingye looked at Chu Ran, raised his eyebrows, and asked silently, are you feeling better?
"I feel much better."
Chu Ran turned around in a circle to show that she was fine.
Seeing this, Long Mingye said nothing more, turned around, and walked forward.
"There is the sound of water ahead."
The two of them searched for a long time, but not even a single blade of grass could be seen, let alone a living thing. The gravel road was deserted and barren of grass. The sound of dripping water naturally attracted their attention.
.Chu Ran stepped forward quickly, surprise flashing in his eyes.
Long Mingye nodded lightly and walked in the direction of the sound of water. If there was the sound of water, he might be able to find his way out.
"Why is there no road?"
Churan followed the sound of water and walked to a stone wall, stretched out her hand, touched the stone wall, and frowned in confusion.
"Get out of the way and let me take a look."
Long Mingye stepped forward, reached out and knocked, then pushed Chu Ran aside and pulled out the sword.
"boom--"
The sword light flashed and explosions sounded.
A chill came, and Long Mingye subconsciously grabbed Churan's wrist.
The rolling water hit the two of them. Their ears were filled with the sound of water, and they could hardly open their eyes.
Long Mingye pulled Chu Ran into his arms and flew towards the opened hole.
Inside the circular hole, tiny water snakes were swimming around the two of them. After the water flow slowed down, the terrifying scene gradually became clear.
Churan's eyes widened and she couldn't imagine why there were so many snakes in the water.
Long Mingye pulled off his robe and wrapped it tightly around Chu Ran. The sword in his hand kept rowing in the water, and the sword energy blocked the water snake that attacked them.
However, the water flow surged, and no matter how fast Long Mingye's sword moved, it could not move faster than the water snake that lived in the water all year round.
In just a moment, there were already several more teeth marks on Long Mingye's arms.
The blood streaks dispersed and the fishy smell floated away.
When asked about the smell of blood, large swaths of water snakes rushed towards the two of them desperately. Chu Ran grabbed the silver needle and shot it out, but it was only able to block some of the water snakes.
People's hearing in water is not as sensitive as on land. What's more, it is impossible to completely eliminate such a large number of water snakes.
Seeing that a water snake was about to bite Chu Ran's back, Long Mingye turned around suddenly, noticing the clear pain on his back, and frowned.
Churan looked at Long Mingye in surprise, never expecting that he would actually block those snakes for her. Looking at the wounds on Long Mingye's body, Churan's eyes deepened.
Gritting his teeth, Chu Ran bit his finger and let his blood flow into the water.
Scarlet blood rippled in the water, becoming more and more thick, and countless water snakes began to rush toward the blood.
