The tough rope suddenly tightened, making Liu Weike almost breathless. She tried to struggle, but because her hands and feet were tied, there was little room to move.
Liu Weike's heart was beating rapidly, and she seemed to be able to hear the sound of her own blood surging. Veins popped out on her neck, and her eyes turned red due to congestion. She desperately struggled to free herself from the ropes, nails and rough ropes in her hands.
It left red marks on her arms.
She felt that the oxygen she could breathe was getting thinner and thinner, and her neck hurt as if it was being torn apart. She clenched her teeth, and a bloody smell like rust gradually filled her mouth. This feeling of being on the verge of death made her terrified.
She struggled with all her strength, not daring to relax at all, for fear that she would be buried in this strange place today.
Finally, a gap appeared in the rope that tightly tied her wrists during her struggle. Liu Weike worked hard to break free of the rope, and her hands were finally able to move freely. The other party seemed to realize that she had the possibility of escaping.
The intensity suddenly increased.
It was completely dark here, and Liu Weike's back was turned to the attacker, so that after struggling for a long time, she couldn't see who was going to take her life. She breathed hard, and held on to her behind and pulled him.
The person holding the rope was a pair of long, strong hands with clear joints. Liu Weike's hand scratched the back of the man's hand hard, and her nails dug into his flesh. She heard a dull and low moan, but the other person remained the same.
There is no relaxation at all.
There was a rush of footsteps at the door, and the person holding Liu Weike also noticed that someone was approaching. He seemed to be uneasy for a moment, and the strength of his hand suddenly decreased sharply.
Liu Weike seized the opportunity and suddenly pinched the index finger and middle finger of the man's right hand downwards. The man let out a low cry of pain and instantly let go of the rope in his hand. He was about to attack again, but because he heard the
He was wary of the approaching footsteps.
"Who's here?" Another person walked in and asked in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.
The man who attacked Liu Weike ran away in a panic. In the darkness, he accidentally knocked over a chair and had to stop for a moment. The man who came in later waved nervously.
His arms passed each other. In the darkness, he could feel his robe brushing against his arms. He turned around suddenly, waved the dagger in his hand, and warm liquid flowed down the tip of the knife and onto his fingers.
The attacker let out a low cry of pain, and then rushed out the door.
Liu Weike was sitting paralyzed on the cold ground. She touched her chest and coughed twice in pain. Her broken neck was burning and painful. A beam of light suddenly shone on her face, and she subconsciously
He narrowed his eyes and raised his hands warily, ready to attack.
The man squatting in front of her blocked her fist, but the flashlight in his hand was knocked to the ground. He grabbed Liu Weike's wrist and panicked to stop her attack. "Don't do it, I'm here to save you!"
"
Only then did Liu Weike see his appearance clearly. This person was Tunan who had been following Nuo Qi during the day. Seeing his compatriots, Liu Weike's hostility was somewhat reduced, but his nerves were still tense. "You are
who?"
"I am a laborer enslaved by these Hronks. My name is Tunan." Tunan picked up the flashlight that fell to the ground and saw clearly the scars on Liu Weike's neck. "That man just came to kill you.
?”
"Yes, I almost died in this damn place. Thank you, my name is Liu Weike." Liu Weike grabbed the armrest of the sofa and stood up weakly.
Tunan asked: "Do you know who that person is?"
"I don't know, I didn't see his face at all. Didn't you see his appearance clearly either?"
"It was pitch dark here just now, and I didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, so I didn't recognize who he was. But I stabbed him." Tunan held out the dagger that was still stained with blood. "We have to hurry up.
Run away, otherwise you will be discovered by that cunning guy Miyun soon. Do you still have the strength to leave?" He helped Liu Weike untie the rope from his body, and then raised the flashlight to carefully observe the surrounding situation, lest he
Someone suddenly appears.
"I'm fine." Liu Weike followed Tunan and whispered behind him: "How long have you been trapped here?"
"I have been working as a laborer in Sheng Kunde for many years, but I have not been here for a long time in Yuchuan Palace. I originally wanted to be humble and submissive for the rest of my life, but my companions have all died violently, and I have no patience anymore.
Reason. It’s better to put all your efforts and see if I can escape from here with you.”
Liu Weike looked at his thin figure and the intertwining scars on his arms, her eyes showing pity. She suddenly remembered something and asked: "What did you just say your name was?"
…”
"Tunan."
"I've heard of this name, and I heard Chu Haoze mention you."
"Do you know Xiao Chu? Is he still alive?" Tunan asked excitedly.
"Yes, the child survived." As Liu Weike was talking, she saw more than a dozen patrolling Hronks walking towards their direction. She quickly kept silent and pulled Tunan to hide.
Get up. She stared at the Hronks warily, her fists clenched under her sleeves. "How well do you know the environment here? Are we sure we can escape?"
Tunan said in a low voice: "This place is heavily guarded and the road conditions are complicated. Basically, there are patrolling guards at every intersection. It is really not easy for us to escape unnoticed. Once we hit those Helang
We are weak and we may not be able to escape."
"Is it possible that we can only fight head-on?" Liu Weike looked a little nervous.
Tunan hesitated for a while and then said: "I know there is a place nearby that leads to a certain forest in Shengkunde. It is the only exit that is not closely guarded. It's just..."
"Just what?"
Tunan said: "The place is called 'Thousand Different Realms'. It is a huge maze with twists and turns and many traps. I heard that no one who walks in can come out alive."
Liu Weike looked at the guards who were gradually disappearing from sight and said: "No matter what, we can't sit still and wait for death. If we give it a try, maybe we can have hope of regaining our freedom."
As soon as she stood up carefully, she suddenly stayed motionless. A cold hand touched the back of her neck, making her hair stand on end.
"Where are you going in the middle of the night?" Mi Yun, standing behind Liu Weike, asked quietly, "Miss Liu, are you injured?"
