Chujiu collapsed on the wall of the ditch, his body sliding along the wall to the ground, and his arms were cut open by the gravel embedded in the wall.
"No, there must be a way."
Chujiu looked at the runes in his hand one by one with red eyes, wondering why there were no runes for the Vajra Shield.
"Calm down, calm down..."
I held Chujiu's arm, trying hard to suppress my urge to shed tears, shaking my head desperately, trying to drive away the scenes I had seen with Wan Li.
At this time, I must be calm. I only have one thought in my heart, and there must be a way. There must be a way.
When we were setting up camp, I saw the faces of Wan Li and Zhang Xuan. Neither of them were in danger, which meant there must be a way to rescue them.
"Guo Guo."
On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, tears started to fall from my eyes. Master Wan Li still had many tricks that he had not taught himself.
Xiao Jiang on the side had red eyes and gritted his teeth, and began to calculate that if he used his body to cover the two landmines at the second when the landmines were detonated, the two leaders should have a high chance of surviving given their abilities.
"Shut up, everyone!"
I yelled, and Xiao Jiang and Chujiu immediately stopped making any sound. Sun Zuojun looked at me, what solution could he think of?
I shook my head. The two of them could definitely escape this disaster, but I haven't thought of a specific way yet.
Wan Li sternly told Zhang Xuan the next process. When he gave the order, Zhang Xuan jumped to the side, then lay down on the ground with his hands protecting his head. He only had to survive for two seconds.
"Wan Li, shut up, this bullshit method of yours won't work, absolutely won't work!"
I couldn't suppress the panic in my heart, so I stood up and shouted at Wan Li, but I saw the decisiveness and determination in Zhang Xuan's eyes.
"Zhang Xuan, don't let me think too much. Just wait, there will definitely be a way."
When I yelled, Wan Li looked at Zhang Xuan. He already understood Zhang Xuan's intention. Zhang Xuan still wanted to sacrifice herself to save Wan Li.
Wan Li gritted his teeth and yelled at Zhang Xuan, "Disobey the order, you will be put in solitary confinement."
Zhang Xuan chuckled lightly, as long as everything was safe, he could be imprisoned for as long as he wanted to complete the task.
I squatted down again and stared at Sun Zuojun and Chujiu. Is there any magic that can create a big hole not far from Wanli?
"Mountain-Opening Technique!"
Chujiu and Sun Zuojun answered at the same time, and then both of them were silent at the same time. If the casting distance is too close, it will 100% cause the ground under Wan Li's feet to shake. If it is too far, Wan Li will not have enough time to jump into the pit in more than a second.
"Wan Li, can you shut up? Tell me how far away you need to make a hole?"
Wan Li was still scolding Zhang Xuan, but he was interrupted by a shout from me.
Wan Li shook his head and told me not to try in vain, it was impossible, unless the pit was half a meter away from them.
"Chief, I apply to shield you from the thunder. I am an orphan with no worries. Even if I die, I am still a hero who sacrificed his life for the country."
Xiaojiang stood up, jumped out of the ditch, and walked towards Wanli.
"You are so impatient, stop right there. Do you believe I will kill you right now?"
Wan Li took out his pistol and shot two shots one foot in front of Xiao Jiang.
"Did I say that you all treat me like nothing?"
Chief Wanran, who had been silent, stood up and glanced at everyone. Do you think I only know how to fight?
"Daughter-in-law, do you have any idea?"
Sun Zuojun stared at Wanran. What good idea had he thought of? Please tell everyone.
Chief Wanran snorted disdainfully, why don't we just make a big hole out of it, why is it so troublesome?
"Sister Wanran, what should I do?"
Chujiu raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and rushed to Wanran with a grin. Wanran pointed at the sword in his hand and asked Chujiu to wipe his nose clean first, otherwise it would flow into his mouth.
"Daughter-in-law, the method you mentioned is to use this sword?"
Sun Zuojun sighed, pulled Wanran aside, and asked her not to cause trouble. How could this sword be better than a dagger?
"Actually, when I hit you before, I didn't use any force."
Wanran smiled charmingly at Sun Zuojun, drew out her long sword, made a sword dance, and struck the sword towards the void where Wan Li was.
"alright."
Wanran withdrew his sword and jumped into the ditch again. Everyone stared at Wanran and then at the place where Wanli was. There was no change at all.
"Daughter-in-law, you are still thinking about making trouble at this time."
Sun Zuojun gently touched Wanran's hair and smiled at us, "Chief Wanran still has a childish heart and always loves to joke with everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zuojun realized something was wrong. The ground we were on began to shake slightly, and the gravel and soil on the wall began to fall into the ditch.
"Squat down!"
Chujiu shouted and rushed towards me and Xiaojiang. The moment Xiaojiang and I fell to the ground, there was a loud noise accompanied by the earth shaking and mountains shaking, and large swaths of soil above our heads fell down.
There was an earthquake. My first reaction was that of an earthquake. Then because of the extreme pain in my ears, I realized that it was not an earthquake, but a landmine that had been detonated.
For a moment, maybe a few seconds, or maybe longer, Xiao Jiang, who was lying next to me, was almost completely submerged in the mud. I believed that I was not going anywhere.
Chujiu stood up, shook his head, and the dust in his hair flew up. I saw Chujiu opened his mouth toward me, but I couldn't hear any sound.
Chujiu opened his mouth wide and rubbed his ears, indicating that I should learn from him. I imitated Chujiu’s movements and pulled Xiaojiang up. Xiaojiang spat out the mud in his mouth and pointed at his ears. I could tell from the shape of his mouth that he was
Said he couldn't hear it.
I glanced at Wanran who was held in Sun Zuojun's arms. There was not even a speck of dirt on either of them.
We climbed out of the ditch with great effort, and the scene in front of us shocked me again. Where Wan Li was before, a huge crack appeared that was more than one meter wide and more than ten meters long.
The giant crack looks like it has been cut open by a sharp weapon. From our perspective, there is no flaw whatsoever.
Chujiu patted me on the shoulder and pointed to the crack in front. A deep pit next to the crack was emitting thick yellow smoke.
The closer I got to the crack, the more shocked I became. This was not a crack. It was clearly a canyon more than two meters deep.
Is this the result of Chief Wanran’s casual swing of the long sword? The sword of the peerless master in the novel split the mountain?
I was thinking wildly when Chujiu pointed at a pool of bulging soil in the canyon. Wanli's legs were exposed from the corner of the soil.
Xiaojiang jumped straight into the canyon and started digging the soil above his legs with his hands.
I was about to jump into the canyon to help, when I saw the bulging soil began to stir.
Then a head covered in mud emerged from the soil, and then Wan Li held up his two arms to reveal half of his body.
Beneath Wan Li's body was Zhang Xuan, who was covered by his body.
